TALLAHASSEE, FLA, November 1S.-The
Supreme Court to-day delivered no opinion
in the Reed impeachment case, on account
of the absence of Chief Justice Randall,

from New York before the impeachment, to
replace defective one which is now in
possession of Lieutenant Governor Gleason.
A. R. Need was to-day appointed attor-
ney-general by Governor Reed to fill the

EDWIN NJ. STANToN.-We have always
considered Mr.. Stanton rs a person upon
whom the President might choose to lean;
from habit as well as inclination. Mr..
Stanton was the strongest evil spirit Of the
war. He duly understood the crisis. He
knew it was not o mere war of forces, under
stable institutions, but it was strife of
ideas which attacked systems. He leaped
over forms and put himself into direct cleo
trio communication with all the State, au-
thorities of the free States, 80 as to innocu-
late them with his own rabid aversion to
slavery, and not 80 much to that as to the
shareholders. He collected his resources
from every quarter, regardless of legality
or cost. He poured out the war material {:
he lavished men and money. He organized
the victory of the North and the defeat Of
the South. Hemade the reputation Of Gen
eral Grant and all the other generals. We
have often stated, what We still believe,
that if Mr.. Stanton had been the gouthern
Secretary of War, instead of the northern,
he could have reversed the result, and we
believe it. Had it not been for his method,
energy, boldness, persistence, and conf
dence, our generals and armies would have
been frustrated by their opponents and the
infinite variety of adverse forces to be sur
mounted in such difficult war of invasion.

LOCKED rN.-We read very good thing
perpetrated on the ungodly by the Rev. Mr..
Mech, of Hartford. It is from the Hart
ford Times:
"Most of the men who went to Christ
church Sunday morning to hear the fine
music, in their anxiety to obtain good seats
in the gallery neglected to read the notice
which was placed on the doors. Therefore
their surprise can. be imagined when the
Rev. Mr.. Mech announced, before COM
mencing the services, that the doors TO the
galleries would be locked, in accordance
with the notice on them, from the COM
mencement of the services until the close
of the sermon. This precaution had been
taken, he said, to try and do away with
growing evil. 1t was customary for large
crowd to come to this church on the occa-
sion of any festivals, to stay during the
musical part of the service, and then re-
tire, just as the clergyman was about to
commence his sermon. This was. q great
annoyance to the majority of the congrega-
ton, and was neither hattering to the off,
ciating minister nor showing due respect
to the house of God. While he, as we'll as
the members of the church, were always
glad to see strangers there, he hoped that
the measures now resorted to would have
q salutary effect in preventing the outward
rush Just as soon as the music was over.
The blank looks that came over the faces OF
many of those who were crowded into the
gallery were very noticeable. They were
kept locked in through an unusual long SER

TERRIBLE CASE OF SUIcIDE.-Near Bris-
toll, on Sunday last, Mr.. Theodorick Rhea,
son-in-law of Captain Robert P. Rhea, of
Sullivan county, Tennessee, attempted to
kill his wife by shooting her. She struck
the pistol as it was discharged at her,
causing the ball to enter the head just
above the eye, running entirely across her
forehead and coming out on the lower part
of her neck, making, it is supposed, dam
gerous wound. MIR. Rhea then put the
pistol to his own head and blew out his
brains. Whiskey is said to have been the
cause Of the tragic affair.-Lyochberg Pir-

MORE ABOUT L1oUoR.-scction As, act Of
July ID, 1866, provides that spirits found
elsewhere than in bonded warehouse, not
having been removed from such warehouse
according to law, and not having paid the
tax, may be sold by the collector for tax,
expenses of seizure, and sale. The money
received from the proceeds of such sale
cannot be regarded as forfeiture, but must
be used in satisfaction of the tax due the
United States. 1t is not distributable to
the informer. Even the surplus, if any
there be, is not q fine, penalty, or forfeiture,
and cannot be applied by the department to
compensation Of an informer. The money
being conveyed into the treasury can only
be reached by an appropriation under spe-
cial legislation.

ASTOUNDING RAILROAD SPECULATIoSs.-
For some weeks past the directors OF the
Erie Railway Company have been secretly
issuing millions upon millions OF dollars
worth Of new stock, and selling it for what
ever price they could get. A number OF
other stock gamblers have been buying this
stock with a view to obtain the control OF the
company, and make their own men direc-
Jors in place Of the present board. As,
however, the new issues kept coming on the
market, the price Of the shares kept sink
ing lower and lower, until on Friday last
they touched SO each. The buying party
in the mean while, many Of them being
Eugiishmcn, had sent their purchased stock
TO England as fast us they could; but their
friends there, when they found out that
there was no limit TO the quantity manu-
featured by the printing press, got alarm
ed, aud autographed TO their brokers
here TO sci! at any price, shipping
the stock back at the same time
by steamer. The brokers on this side,
thinking 10 turn an honest penny, ana
knowing that they would receive plenty OF
the stock In ten days, the period required
by the steamer 10 cross lie Atlantic, under
took 10 sell ahead, borrowing in the mean
while 10 make their deliveries. But sud-
denly the spectators who had been selling
The new stock, having plenty OF money,
turned about and bought up all the stock
actually here; aud as the steamer cannot
arrive with the stock from England for a
week TO come, they have compelled the
!ooilsh brokers, who have made sales al
FORTY and ;hereabouts, to buy in at fifty
and sixty 10 meet their contracts. The
amount lost and won by individuals In this
way within the three days past Is estima-
led at SUES ranging from $50, 900 to $780,
QUO each. But the public will have, we
presume, as little sympathy with the losers
as with the Winners.--Neoo York Sun.

THE Coal TRADE.-The market has not
been so firm during the past week, the
sellers being fully equal if not in excess Of
the purchasers. This weakness is owing to
a variety of causes, chiefly, however, to the
recent mild weather. But it cannot be
denied that the great advance OF the last
Scranton sale was influenced by speculation
which the demand did not warrant, The
New York market is probably more quickly
Influenced by the weather than any other,
it having been depressed in the early por-'
ton of the week, while the cool weather Of
the last few days has had the reverse effect.
