There never was such a failure. There
never was such stale, fat and unprofit-
able conclusion to any thing that 50 thun-
dered and threatened in the prologue.
Impeachment is the old case of forty
crows put into the pompous character of
a great political process. Forty crows,
as we are all aware, would hardly cover
tine number, even as stated by those
most moderate in speech. Some said the
flight darkened the heavens, and at the
last it was hardly possible to prove the
presence of one solitary little black bird.
So the nation that was assured its liber-
ties and peace were in danger from the
countless and heinous crimes of the Exc
cutive, finds. when it comes TO evidence
in court, that the prosecution cannot
prove enough TO send juvenile delin-
auent to the House of Detention for two
days. Six days have now been taken up
by the prosecution, and what has been
shown On Monday we had the windy
and grandiloquent opening of Butler.
Since that it has been proven that the
President ISSUED an order'' for the re-
moval of Stanton-not that he had re-
moved him on had not the right to remove
him or issue the order; the attempt has
been made to prove that the President
conspired with soldiers TO oppose the
laws. and this has resulted In clearly
proving that he did not 80 conspire. And

The Admission of Louisiana.

A telegraphic dispatch announces that
bill has been introduced into Songress.
providing for the admission OF Louisi-
ana into the Union, ON the adoption of
the Fourteenth Amendment to the Con-
stitution. As one sees, the Radicals do
not lose time, when their fayorite plan
of Reconstruction is the subject. They
do not wait for the official returns of the
elections. A dispatch from their trusty
followers here, is sufficient to provoke
them to take the initiative.
There is need for such precipitation
on their part. as we have already ex-
planned, for there is in the legislation of
reconstruction. deficiency which needs

circle which has need of being corrected
In order that the new civil Government
reorganized by the vote which ratified
the Constitution, should be able to enter
regularly upon its functions.
In virtue of these laws of reconstruc-

unless approved by Congress, and until
Congress shall have admitted represent

now the prosecution is proving what the
President said in his public speeches,
proposing to trench upon that most sa-
cred right-absolute freedom in the ex-
preston of opinion. rg=t
What is proved here that can authorize
the removing man from an office in
which he was placed by the will of the
people? And what is the whole result so
far Only that a grand occasion has
been given for Butler to strut and fret
and plume himself in the public eye.
Only chance for this vaporer to show to
the world that there is no sphere of hu-
man endeavor in which he is not equally
incapable. He was a Genessal a little
while ago, and he made more noise in
dispatches and orders and proclamations
than all the other Generals in the country
together. He was the most mighty of
all the heroes. But the sum of his achieve
ments in the field is included in the
names of Big Bethel, Bermuda Hundred
and Fort Fisher. He ''saved his men"
and his bacon; and he never was within
ten miles of a battle that it did not prove
disaster. Peace came and, not shamed
into obscurity by his failures, the mighty
man returns to politics and law. He
leads the great case of his party. He
makes the same tremendous threats as
ever, and as before he dwindles into
pitiful insignifcance when brought to a
practical test. Fortunately, there was
a way of pushing such leaders aside in
war. Let us hope that the Radicals may
not for while learn that wisdom.

Pollard.

The Richmond Enquirer gives the
following incident Of the death Of
Pollard, showing that he, and his as
sistant editor Hanna, with him were
portable arsenals, and also gives the
reader > lovely idea of the civilization
of the south, which has grown out Of
slavery and democracy:
"Mr. Hanna was Immediately be-
hind him, almost touching him, and
was SO overwhelmed with astonish-
ment that he was utterly unable to
form an idea of the direction from
which the shot proceeded. His first
impulse was to draw bis pistol, think
ing that in all probability another
shot might be fired, and that he
might be the victim. He saw no one,
an1 no one appeared on the street
until the detective officers Knox and
Craddock, whose Office was near at
hand, ran out and arrested him on
suspicion Of having fred the shot
that killed Mr.. Pollard. His pistol
was examined and found to be load
cd. This, ofcourse, exonerated him,
and the next impression was that
ono of Mr.. Pollard's pistols had ex-
ploded accidentally and killed him.
He had two Derringers in his pock-
cts and q revolver IN his belt, all oi
which were examined and found
loaded"
