The impeachers are having high old
time. A special to the Cincinnati
Gazette describes mirthful outbreak
as follows:
"A Ludicrous Scene.-The examina-
ton Of the next witness gave rise to con-
tinued and violent laughter on all sides.
Mr.. Karzner, Of Delaware, is one OF the
large farmers OF that State-a Delaware
boy-as be termed himself, though some
45 years old. He was perfectly uncon-
cerned, and apparently utterly Ignorant
that either his style or words were in the
least ludicrous; but the account OF his
visit to the White House, his meeting
General Thomas in the East Room, telling
him that the eyes of Delaware were
on him, and that Delaware expected
something Of him, and his relating
it all afterward to man named
Smith, whose first name was not John,
but William. was droll to the last degree.
The Chief Justice laughed till he shook
The counsel laughed. The managers
nut their heads down on the table and
laughed till the tumblers ratified on 1t.
The Senators held their sides and
laughed. The galleries responded heart
ily, and in fact the whole audience, OH
cial and unofficial, filling the inside oi
the chamber, shook till the old compar
ison to bowl of jelly was quite applica-
BILE to the audience as a whole. It's safe
to say there has never been such general
and long continued laughter in the Sem
ate chamber before.

find n man who has ever heard of a saw
age being seen in the last thirty years.
/ have tried long and faithfully to hnd a
man who ever saw one, but thus far i
have failed completely.
yet there are other disadvantages,
says some good Southern man, who has
returned from Brazil dissatisfied and
perfectly disgusted. Although they
have slavery in Brazil, yet they have a
great many free negroes there, who are
permitted to vote, and some OF them to
hold Office Well, this is true. The
qualification for voters here is prop
erty qualification, and when the free
negro possesses that qualification he is
allowed to vote, and when he possesses
certain requisites he is sometimes ap-
pointed to office; but he is not like the
American negro, taught to believe him
self the superior of the white man; on
the contrary, although his father and his
grandfather before him were free, yet
true to nature and TO natures laws, he
has set to his seal that God is true, in
that he has at all times and
in all ages, made and designed
the white man superior to the black
one; and / do most solemnly aver that |
have never in the whole course of my
life. (even when slavery in the South was
in its, palmest and most unquestioned
power), found the negro more ready and
more willing to acknowledge my right to
supremacy and command, than | have
found the free negroes of Brazil since l
have been within the limits of the en-
pire. They have made me the trustiest
and most faithful servants | have ever
had. But honestly and sincerely believe
that freedom is the worst curse that can be
put upon the negro, whatever the cline
or country in which it is done. True to
his native instincts, he shuns labor, and
toiH net cork, save only when driven to
it by stern necessity.
The true men Of Brazil have already
seen the horrors of emancipation and
amalgamation, and they are hailing with
shouts of joy the arrival in their midst
of true men from the South. Fear not:
everything is going right. Let our peo-
pie emigrate to this country, and all will
be we'll. We shall have no trouble upon
this question, in our little colony, for
there are very few persons living in its
limits, either white or black. There are
more than two millions of slaves in
Brazil, and l see no indications Of gen
eral emancipation. If the tide of emf
grafton that has set in from the South
should continue, the day of emancipa-
ton in Brazil will be postponed until God
Almighty sees proper to order It; and If
we are true to our race and lineage, to
the religion of our fathers, and to the God
of the Bible, we shall swell that tide
until it assumes proportions as grand
and sublime as the causes which have
impelled us to this exile. But enough !
Brazil is thousand times better than
the United States in every particular
which can interest US. Let that suffice

UNDER the caption of startling ru'
NOR the Cincinnati Times (Rad.) thus
speaks of Chief Justice Chase and his
actions in the impeachment trial:
The rumor is telegraphed that Judge
Chase has come to the conclusion that
his functions as President Of the Court
of Impeachment are of the nature OF
those of judge presiding upon the
bench, and therefore it is his right to
decide the legal questions that may be
raised during the progress OF the trial.
1t is also stated that the judges OF the
Supreme Court concur with the Chief
Justice in this opinion.
If this be 90, the country may anuci-
pate one or more exciting scenes during
the trial 1t is certain that nearly every
Republican in the Senate will vote
against such a claim, and refuse TO even
respect any legal opinion which the pre-
siding officer may hold that does net &C
cord with that Of the majority Of the
Senate
should the Chief Justice claim the
right to decide all questions Of law, and
bis claim be ignored, as Il will be, We
nay fairly imagine some decided course
on The part Of the Chief Justice. l. is
asserted By the Democracy that the Sen
ate will, ID such an event, strip him u
his constitutional powers, as u has, in
conjunction With the House, stripped the
President sf his rights. Il Is not likely

A Portrait of Fornsy-By an Artist.

A Portrait Of Forney-By an Artist.
George Alfred Townsesd writes from
Washington:
What shall l soy of Forney2 Happy
accident had nearly named him Fawney.
His record is one contemptuous in all
its episodes. He fawned to Mr.. Bu-
chanan. Lincoln once said: This
Forney makes a fine art of abjectness +
Andrew johnson dismissed him with the
epithet of dead duck. Even johnson
could despise Forney What depths OF
contempt does that fact reveal More
miraculous to me is the fact that Forney
can find even parasites to himself,
though believe he gets them out OF his
own family chiefly, Jhones and the
white horse excepted His career is
strewn with broken friendship, and illu-
minated with cowardly sensuslities. He
wrote the Professionalism letter, unparI-
alleled in baseness, cringing at an actors
feet to ruin woman's fame. He searches
the horizon for the coming man, and
hastens to fawn upon him. When, ia
that Christian dispensation, the devil is
let loose upon the world after the thou
sand years, there will be a Forney to
hail him first and follow after his stan
dard. unless abhorrent nature before
that day extinguishes the race, that man
shall not be utterly shameless. This
Forney was the wine-taster OF johnson,
and gave him drink on inauguration day.
But better his whisky than his praises.

master to that man..

Premiums on Laziness.

The Freedmen's Bureau is to be con-
tinued in operation another year, COM
mencing July l6, 1868, and for as many
years, probably, as the Republican party
keeps in power. While we do not deny
that the Bureau has given timely aid to
many blacks, and, also, to some whites
who would have suffered greatly, and,
perhaps, have perished but for its char
liable intervention, it is but the truth to
say that it dispenses among the people
of the South considerable more politics
than aims. 1t is supplement to the
reconstruction policy, and is as fully po-
litical as that is. Though its effect in
many cases, we admit, is good, yet,
viewed in the large way, and with refer
ence to broad results, we cannot regard
it as a real benefit to the Southern peo-
pie, either white or black.
The whites have never asked bread
from it, except when driven to its portals
by starvation. But the blacks, having
once tasted its bounty, do not care to
look further for their victuals. Destitute
of energy and ambition, mere flies that
live in the sunshine, why should they
toll when the Government has opened a
meat shop and bakery for them /? They
know, too, instinctlvely, if they are not
told, that these doacsurs are sort OF
pay in advance for their political infu-
ence and their votes. This gives them
grand ideas of their importance to the
Government or to the Republican party
which is the same thing. So they loll in
the sun and eat, and attend all the po-
litical meetings, and vote as often as they
can at every election.
The evident anxiety of the Bureau to
cultivate the good will of these colored
sovereigns has done much of the mis-
chief, which all sensible people, North
and South, now deplors. The Southern
papers are full OF evidence on this point.
Large numbers of the negroes will not
work either for themselves or for any one
else. tits the white population of the
South-the class which in former. years
was unused to manual labor-that is now
tilling the soil, gathering the harvest,
rolling the barrels, driving the drays. In
Charleston, on the 10Th inst, two hun
dred and sixty-five men, who in old times
got their living by their brains, organized
and pledged themselves to fight the
spectre of want with their own hands. "
