THE TESTS ADOPTED BY THE UNION
CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF 0RMSBY
COUNTY,

The Union Central Committee of this
county met yesterday and transacted the
necessary preliminary business bearing
upon the action of the party here pend
ing the assemblage of the State Conven-
ticn in April next. 1t was thought best
to simplify matters by providing for the
election of the six Delegates from this
county to the State Convention by di.
rec. vote at the primaries and it was
thought that fair division of such rep
resentation could be had by awarding
Carson precinct four, aud Empire pre-
cinct two of the said Delegates. The
test questions prescribed are intended
to give every true and tried Unionist
aud every honest convert to the party's
principles an opportunity to take part
in the party's proceedings; and they,
as well as some resolutions directing
the action of the Judges and Inspectors
CT the elections, were adopted with the
view to insuring liberality of procedure
while, at the same time, a sufficient
safeguard is thrown around the ballot
ing to prevent outsiders from taking
part therein. No true Union man can
OF will refuse an affirmative answer to
the proposed interrogatories, and no
Copperhead can vote without first pledg-
ing bis adherence to the Union party
and then proving himself in earnest by
voting for Union Delegates. Thus the
door is opened wide to all members of
tae party; while the lamp of Truth is held
out to burn and give light to direct and
invite the footsteps of the erring and
coatrite. The time fixed for holding
the Primaries is in accordance with the
suggestion of the State Central Com
mi;tee that they should be held prior to
the lst day of April. 1t is to be hoped
that the labors of the Committee will
meet with the approval of the party in
this county,

ASHLEY of Nevada is reported as

ASHLEY of Nevada is reported as
cutting a strange and inconsistent fg-
urs with regard to the matter of i'm
parchment. he voted d" Aye" upon
the resolution to impeach and now,
when the specifications are presented
and the procedure of impeachment
comes to be considered, he votes with
the opposition. We can see no sense
iu such action. tits, moreover, in yio-
lation of his party obligations. In the
6rst place the impeachment resolution
wa passed and then nailed by the pas
sage Of motion to lay a motion to
reconsider, on the table. Hence Mr..
Aslley's Inconsistency. If he is now
acting upon the notion that the House
proceeded as far as is justifable or necss.
sary 10 merely resolving to impeach the
President, he is decidedly loose in his
political convictions and is indisposed
10 live up to the requirements of his
party. Future events may throw bet
ter light upon the course of our Repre-
sentative, but viewed from the present
standpoint, he is proceeding in direc-
tion exactly contrary to the necessities
Of the times and the wishes of his con-
Dtituents.

say that the President has begun to prepare
for his trial. His friends announce that he
has decided to reta in Charles O 'Conor, David
Dudly Field, Caleb Gushing, George Ticknor
and VIM. Evarts as counsel. 1t is intima-
ted that Mr.. Evarts was retained because
he controls very large Republican infu-
ence in New York, which can be brought to
bear on leading Republicans, bringing them
to the support of the President.

TIE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT urged

| The Articles OF IMPEACHMENT urged
by General Butler and rejected by the
House of Representatives ought, by all
means, to have been adopted. The fac,
is, johnson should have been impeached
for the same abominable acts recited by
Butler more than year ago. His de-
nuneiations of Congress and his studied
and persistent attempts to violate its
laws ought to be considered as ofenses
serious enough to make him-or any
other President-amenable to impeach-
ment and removal from Office. There is
far too much power tacitly conceded to
our Presidents. The plan of this Re-
public never contemplated the reposing
of so vast personal influence in the
hands of single man as is welded by
our Chief Magistrate and before the
Constitution is amended SO as to correct
this evil-as it will have to be before
many years-Congress should SO assert
its character as embodying the supreme
will of the Nation as to hold in check
the exercise of the promptings of I'M
worthy ambition upon the part of future
Presidents. Beyond the power of su-
perintending, in good faith, the execu-
ton of the laws of Congress, and in so
doing, to act, as it is meant he should
act, as that body's Executive officer,
the President should have no more alb
solute, imperial power than the Vice
President. He should be, as be in
theory is, " the servant of the people -
and, therefore, the servant of the peo-
pies representatives. The veto power
is a relic of barbarism and is out OF
place in the hands of a single man in |
republic like this. Su-
,reme political power should rest in fact |
Is we'll as nominally, in the hands OF
Congress, and no one man should have
he power to disturb it. Therefore we
ay, that in order to wrench from the
Presidential office the accumulation OF |
dangerous power now supposed to be
edged therein, and in order to admins
er needed rebuke the arrogance and
nsolent pride of station that has of
ate years gathered thereabout, such
rticles as Butler presented to the
louise should have formed the basis OF
N peachment more than one year ago
he House is doing itself and the grea,
ase in hand injustice in not adding
hem to the counts already agreed upon.

tnati they have lived so long without cultiva-
! ton and neglected as they have been. In
many localities they are so situated that the
winter winds have fair rake upon them
Bee culture was up for discussion, and Mr..
Paul, one of the largest and most successful
bee-keepers, made some valuable remarks up-
on the subject. He allows no natural swarm
ing in his apiary, all the hives being divided
once year. Other gentlemen also spoke ON
producing honey A dry cellar is considered
the best place for wntering bees.
Mr.. Goodale introduced some resolutions in
relation to the trials of the speed of horses,
recommending that the sums offered for these
trials should not exceed the sums offered for
the culture of breadstufs, and also that the
several county societies offer the current year
sum in premiums ON wheat culture equal at
least To one-third of the amount of the State
bounty received during the year. And here
the question came up again, "Ought trials OF
the speed of horses to have place in agricutu-
raj exhibitions?" Mr.. Goodale thoueht the
man who had a fast horse had as good a right
to exhibit that quality as one who had nice
sheep had to exhibit the character of the wool,
and yet he believed the prominence given to
trials of speed at our exhibitions the past few
years had been productive of much evil. There
was variety of opinions upon the question:
Mr. Warren thought that the question of
horse-trotting had been for years a trouble
some one. People will turn out to see horse
trot in greater numbers than for anything
else.
A committee reported, advising that tho
Legislative resolves be so amended as 90 give
the power to the Board of Agriculture TO apply
pose of encouraging Agricultural lectures
among the farmers at large. Mr.. Dixie favored
the report. On motion of Mr. Goodale, "ten
per cent" was stricken out and "a portion" of
the State bounty was inserted Various opn-
ions were expressed on the subject, and the
report was tabled. Afterwa the report was
adopted by amending it so as to authorize the
Secretary of the Board to draw five per cent. of
the bounty.
a resolution of Mr.. Goodale, recommending
continuation of the photographic Survey
and the commission on fisheries vas adopted
The reports on alsike clover, bee culture, root
crops, the culture of buckwheat and the ideal
farmer were adopted.
This session of the Board will, no doubt, be
fruitful Of good to the Agricultural interests of
our State, and will enlghten our farmers and
give them fresh impetus to proceed with their
work, and thereby strengthen the foundation
for other industrial interests.
