The Impeachment T1'iaE-.Wa'.
8NtEer's Ope3sing..

When cause is weak and bad we can
not feel surprised if its supporters advo-
cate by defamation what they are not
able to prove by argument. After very
careful perusal of Mr.. Buffers opening
speech, delivered in Washington yester.
day, before the High Court Of Impeach-
ment, we have failed to discover anything
therein which makes case against Presi-
dent johnson, Mr.. Butler opens his ar
gument with the statement that he ad-
dressed Senate and not conrt the
Senate is bound by no law no judge can
aid in its deliberations-in a word, the
Chief Justice of the United States is
mere fgurehead in this great proceeding.
Such is the opinion of the counsel for the
prosecution, and it becomes important
from the fact that the question of whether
tho Senate is or is not court will proba-
bly, be the subject of much debate before
the trial ends. The next thing in order
is very lengthy and tiresome attempt to
prove that Mr. Benjamin Wade is enti-
tied to sit as one of the jurors on the
trial. Mr.. Butler plunges into sea of
precedents, which utterly fail to meet the
point at issue. In all Of his quotations
from the trials of others, before the Brit
ish House of Lords and the Senate of the
United States, it is nowhere shown that
any Peer or Senator had direct interest
in the conviction of the accused. We are
told that the father and uncle of Anne
Boleyn aided in her trial aud adjudged her
guilty of iufdelty to King Henry the
Eighth but Mr.. Butlor fails to mention
that the lives of both Of those men de-
pended upon their verdict. The prcce-
dents drawn from the British House of
Lords are ridiculous when applied to
trial in his republic. Mr.. Butler forgets
that tho British Parliament is almost an
absolute power That it is untrammelled
by any written constitution and that
the idea of a lords power rendering him
eligible to sit upon trial where his own
interest are involved is essentially mon
archica and aristocratic one, utterly in
compatible with our democratic ideas and
institutions. Another point is made that
VIZ VI q OOuotoi paw
trial whether interested in the result or
mott cannot be challenged, because the
number of Senators is limited, and the
people must not be deprived of their
right to representation where case of
such momenious gravity is before the
Senate. If this doctrine holds good then
the trial is not only an egregious farce
but an Outrage upon the ten ex-rebel
States, whvse Senators are not permitted
to represent them IN the court.
After dwelling at length on Mr..
Wade's eligibility to aid in making him
self President Of the United States, Mr..
Butler proceeds to discuss the articles of
impeachment. At the very opening of
his argument (if it can be styled such) he
garbles Mr.. Johnson's language on the
subject of removals, aud distorts and fall
sites history by asserting that if the
President be sustained new right and

The French Fisheries.

The French fishery on the Grand Bank
and on the shores Of Newfoundland gives
employment to twenty thousand French
seamen and to many other persons, and is
regarded by the French government as a
very important branch of industry. 1t is
carried on at distance of from two thous-
and to twenty five hundred miles from the
coast of France, requiring the employ.
meut of large and valuable vessels of from
one hundred and fifty to four hundrod
tons burden, with expensive outfits, and
is subject to onerous conditions. The
French government pays a bounty of
twenty francs per metrical quintal of one
hundred kilograms---equa to ten francs
per English quihtal of one hundred and
twelve pounds-on all dry Goldfish, the
produce of the French fishery, exported
by vessels expressly fitted out from
France for the purpose, or by the fishing
vessels on the production of French con-
suls certificate that the fish had been
landed in good order. For this bounty
the French government obtains the priv
ilegc to command the services of every
man in its fishing fleet up to the age of
ffty-two years for the French navy
whenever wanted and wherever he may be-
The vessels are required to carry nearly
double the number of men and apprentices
necessary for the prosecution of the
business, and also surgeon, and are re.
quired to give bond, under heavy
penalties, to prosecute the fisheries and to
engage in no other occupation.
The quantity of French fish imported
in bulk into the United States, principally
at Boston, is from twenty-five to thirty
thousand quintals per annum, nearly all
of which is placed in bonded warehouses
A part Of this import is sold for consump-
ton in the United States, and pays duty
Of liftysix cents per quintal in gold the
balance is sold for experimentation
payment Of duties--to the West Indies
Before expectation the fish arc packed in
drums to insure their preservation.
Representative Butler having called
the attention of the Treasury Department
to this practice, it has been decided that
under the revenue laws of the United
States goods entered in bond cannot be
changed from one package to another,
except to repair damages, and goods i'm.
ported in bulk and entered in bond cannot
be made up into packages for expectation
without the payment of the duties. The
Collector of Boston has accordingly been
notified to discontinue the practice hereto
fore adopted with regard to French fish ;
and, as they cannot be exported in
bulk, the French fishermen will hereafter
be under the necessity of packing their
fish in barrels or drums on board their
vessels, or of landing them at St. Pierre or
Miquelon, to be SO packed before entry in
bond in the United States.

She stood alone on the sullen pier,
With the night around and the river be-
low,
And voice it seemed to her half-crazed ear,
Was heard in the waters FLASHING flow
"You are tired and worn come hither and
sleep -
Where your poor, dimmed eyes shall cease to
weep,
And no morning shall break in sorrow"
She looked to the far-off town and wept
And oh could you blame the poor girls

For she thought how many amaiden slept
With Love and Honor as wardens near,
While she was left in the world alone,
With none to miss her when she was gone
Where the mercilcss waves were calling.

pile,
And the water amid its loose rocks ran,
And she thought, with strange and ghast-
ola i iong-ilcd day and false false man
How her fingers had combed his damp brown
hair;
But he and the world had left her there,
With no friend but the Reckoning water
was heaven so far that no angel arm
Might round the Homeless in love be
thrown,
To keep her away from hurt or harm
Or was it, in truth, mercy thrown,
That left her alone at night to think
Other manifold woes upon the brink
Of that deep and pitiless river?
No human eye and no human ear
Fer saw struggle or heard sound,
And the curious never could waste tear
When they gazed next morning. on the
outcast drowned;
But, ah could speech be given the dead,
Perhaps those motionless lips had said,
"No homeless are found in Heaven"

The Emblem, Of Democracy.

EDITOR STATESMAN: Why is it that the
Democratic party adopt the "rooster" as the
emblem of victory? Please explain.
DEMOCRAT.
Because the game rooster is the gamest
bird, when encroached upon by his fel.
lows, that ever existed, and the Den ocra-
cy is the gamest party that ever voted at
an election or resented oppression. Both
the party and its emblem, when they 90

death. Both may be whipped, but not
conquered, for giving up, when once in
the fight. is word unknown to the prac-
lice Of the rooster, and it is not found in
the Democratic vocabulary.
This is one reason for adopting the
rooster as the emblem of Democracy, an
other reason is this

BY the fierce cannonade, and dismay sat
upon every countenance, and the storm of

knocked it to pieces, killing all it contain

bulwarks of .McDoDough's flag ship, the
noble bird, undauntcd by the noise and
confusion and carnage around him, with
clarion voice rang out his notes of defiance
and victory.
Sailors are very superstitious, and when
ia the pause Of the thunder of the enemy's
cannon, they heard the shrill "cock-a-

the BATTLE ended, and McDonough, on
Lake Champlain, like the Democracy of
Ohio, was victorious over the enemies of
the country.
Every naval historian makes mention
of the fact, and history says that the
bravery shown on that occasion by the
rooster was the cause of the victory, by
the renewed courage it gave to the sailors
of McDonough's feet.
From that day to this, in political con-
tests, the rooster has been the Democratic
emblem of victory, and when it is seen in
the act of sending forth its "cook-a-doo-
dle-doo" at tho head of a Democratic
newspaper, it is right to say that the
country is safe, for the victory is with the
Democracy.

ish ears.
We have just road long ghost story,
of which the follwing is the substance.
A man had been fishing all day, and re-
tired to rest at.night at the house of a
friend He was awakened at midnight
by tapping at his window, and saw some
white object moving about his room. He
also plainly heard curious souud-"fit,"
"6t,' gift" La his fright, he called for
his host, who ran in with light, but was
tripped up, and his light put out in the
fall. Both sprang from the room, being
tripped several times before reaching the
door, and they waited for daylight in
great terror. Then the mystery was thus
explained. The fisherman, on going to
his room, had upjointed his rod and car
ried it with him, forgetting to remove the
minnow (ittle fish, used as a bait. A
huge white cat coming in, had snapped
at t1e bait and been caught by the hook
She drew the line from the reel and
wound it around the bedpost and chairs,
and in striving to get loose made the noise,
oft" aft" oft" The frightened man
had heard these sounds and the beating
Of lilac bush against the window, had
seen the white ghost (cat), and stumbled
over the line.
Every ghost that has been reported, if
investigated at the time, would prove to
be as unreal, or real, as the white cat
caught or fsh-hook.

entrance to this icy chamber is near the
base of Mount Adams, which stands TWEEN
