A POLL OF THE COURT.

As the vote of the Senate on the i'm
parchment charges may be expected now
from day to day, an examination and
classification of the body will assist the
reader in understanding the Intelligence
when received 1t is composed Of .fty-
Gour members-the Senators from ten
States, ticenty in number, being excluded
To convict on any of the eleven articles,
it will require hirty.Sir affirmative votes,
or two-thirds This is on the assump-
ton that all of the iity-fJur (Mr. Wade,
perhaps, excepted will vote.
OF these, forty three are to be classi-
fied.as Radicals, and elepen as Democrats.
The names Of the latter are Bayard,
Buckalew, Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Hen
bricks, johnson, McCreery, Patterson,
salisbury and Yickers.
Assuming in the first instance, that
the eleven Democratic Senators will vote
in a body for acquittal, and that Mr..
Wade will insist upon and be allowed
permission to cast his vote into the YER
diet, eight Republican votes are reqni-
site to overcome the decision of tWo-thirds
of the Senate, and thus secure the Presi-
dents acquittal Should Mr. Wade re-
nounce the privilege which a majority of
the Senate would doubtless accord to
ham, seven Republican votes would suffice
for acquittal
Thus the only doubt whether Mr. John
son would escape from a verdict of guilty
has hinged upon the possible detection of
a middle class Of Republican" Senators
who were suspected of having opinions,
ambitions, or even consciences, indepen~
dent Of the dictation of the extreme
whippers-in of the Radical party With
this middle class of Senator's rests the
balance Of power and they are held to
be the following sJeDeR, Wis Esssehden,
Trumbull, Grimes, Fowler, Van Wrinkle,
SpTague, Anthony, Ross, Norton, Ed
muuds and Henderson.

sUsPFCFTNG EACH OTHER.

When party of men engage in dis
reputable work, they are sure to suspect
each other. The impeaehers form no ex-
ception to this rule. The following is from
the Washington correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Post, who writes on the 1st instant
"While it is possible that the Senate OF
the United States may convict President
Johnson of high crimes and misdemeanors,
20 obedience to the. demands of party spirit,
yet no one can deny that the reYolutionists,
or, as Chief Justice Chase styles them, the
Jacobins, are alarmed about the result. SO
demoralized have the rank and file become
that the most faithful are suspecting each
other of disaffection and treachery. For
instance, Senator Yates, of Illinois, ex-
presses serious doubts as to the vote of
Wilson, of Massachusetts. Who would
think of questioning Wilson's fidelity to
the destructienists when he is unquestiona-
bly, the strongest man for the Vice Presi-
dental nomination at Chicago? And yet
ouch is the condition Of things here that
even be Is suspected of wavering, and
grave doubts are expressed whether or not
he will vote for conviction

The carnival of blackguardism which
occurred in the House of Representa-
tives on the I'd inst, is peculiarly an out
growth Of Radicaiism, and exceeds any
thing that ever occurred when the
" chiyalry were in full force in Cons
gress. Smarting keenly under this un-
restrained and disgraceful use of bill
lingsgate of the lowest order, Mr. Win.
dom, Of Minnesota, offered resolution
on the 4th inst, providing for commit
tee of seven to inquire into the truth or
falsity of the charges preferred by Mr..
Washburne against Mr., Donnelly. Mr..
Window stated that his purpose in mov-
ing the resolution sprung from belief
that either one or the other of the gem
tlemen involved should be expelled. If
the charges against his colleague (Mr.
DonneHy,) were found to be true, he
should be Immediately expelled; and, on
the contrary, if found to be false, the
member making them should be expelled.
This resolution was adopted without a
dissenting voice But pending its cons
sideration, debate occurred in which a
somewhat noted character from this
State made himself the bntt for the ridio
Guile of the House without in the least
perceiying it. The Washington cores
pendent Of the Cincinnati Gazette, says
"Mr. Woodbridge, of Vermont, at
tempted B few remarks but had hardly
begun, when Mr.. Mullins, of Tennessee,
rose TO what he called point Of order, and
in proceeding to state it, said he wanted to
know whether a speaker was at liberty to
get up and slang-whang at everything, or
whether he was obliged to confine his re-
marks to the point under consideration.
This, together with Mr. Mullins manner,
caused peal after peal of laughter.
"Mr. Colfax decided that the point was
well taken, though to say member was
SLANG whanging" was itself out of order.
In about one minute Mullins made point
on Woodbridge again, and the Chair again
sustained him, and in few moments Mr..
Mullins again insisted that MIR. Wood
bridge was again wandering from the ques
ton under consideration and, further,
that az a point had been made on him
three times, he must take his seat The
House has scarcely ever laughed more
heartily than it did at Mr. Mullins, though
Mullins himself was in deep earnest"

live to see him redeemed and to hear the
majestic voice of the people; "WelI done,
faithful servant, you shall have your re-
ward" But if, Senators, as l cannot be-
lieve, but as has been boldly said with
almost official sanction, your votes have
been canvassed and the doom Of the Presi-
dent is sealed, then let that judgement not
be pronounced in this Senate chamber /;
not here, where our Camillus, in the hour
of our greatest peril, single-handed, met
and bafiled the enemies of the Republic /;
not here, where he stood faithful among
the faithless; not here, where he fought the
good fight for the Union and the Constitu-
ton not in this chamber, whose walls
echo with that clarion voice that, in the
days of our greatest danger, carried hope
and comfort to many a Responding heart,
strong as an army with banners. No, not
here. Seek out, rather, the darkest and
gloomiest chamber in the subterranean re-
cesses of this capitol, where the cheerful
light of day never enters. There erect the
altar and immediate the victim.

NEGRO LABOR AND MORTALITY

A Louisiana correspondent of the Louis-
vile Democrat, writing on the 18th inst,
says:
Circumstances threw me with large
planter from Tensaw, near Vicksburg.
Discussing various questions, he said the
rise in cotton would not help the planter,
but the middle-men, into whose hands the
bulk OF the cotton has passed. A natural
reference to the cause of price induced him
to speak Of the condition Of labor. The
planters have ceased to make contracts with
negroes. The latter disregard them, and
the bureau cannot and will not compel
them to specific obedience. His plan was
to trust to daily labor. He rented patches
to negroes who We're willing sometimes,
when not employed at home, 10 give the
planter day. This was very haphazard;
still il was the best lie added that an
other cause was at work, which seemed lit
tie regarded in the North. That is the
fearful mortality of the negro Fifty per
cent. Of his negroes had died off this year.
Negro mothers had killed their children.
lntanticide added lis terrors 10 neglect and
disease. Referring to the reluctance of the
European TO come to the South, he said
that German and Irish labor was not fitted
to the cultivation Of cotton and sugar He
spoke with sad and serious alarm Of their
future prospects, saying if any one could
point out now a substitute for African labor
he would be entitled to national gratitude.

THE New York Times, a moderate Re
publican paper that opposes the impeach-
nent movement, says:
at is reported that Senator Fessenden
has said, openly and boldly, that che will
not perjure himselftO please party friends"
The more extreme of the Radical papers
have already opened their batteries upon
him as renegade and traitor But are they
are not little too fast in drawing this in
ference from that remark ? Do they not
thereby concede that he must "perjure him.
self" in order to please his party? The
conclusion strikes us as a good deal too
broad" H4|l

1t is still question Of considerable dis,
cussion in Washington whether Chief Jus
tice Chase will charge the Impeachment
court al the close Of the arguments. The
Washington correspondent of the Chicago
Times says;
"The very idea Of it strikes terror toto
the hearts Of the impeachers. Should The
Chief Justice decide 10 do so, you may rest
assured ia doing this, the manager cass

Correspondence a the Cincinnati Gazette
WASHINGTON, May 4,-There has been
agreat deal of talk in diplomatic circles
to-day, over a duel fought this forenoon,
between parties whose names there has been
an attempt to suppress. The parties were
General A. q. Lawrence, Minister of the
United States at Costa Rica, and Baron
Henry Won KHsteFow, First Secretary of
the Prussian Legation here. The difficulty
is said to have arisen from the wife of the
former gentleman speaking in very severe
terms of one of the latter's intimate lady
friends. To this the Baron made an
equally severe reply, and this being deemed
by Gen. Lawrence an insult to his wife, he
challenged the Baron. The challenge be-
ing accepted, both parties, accompanied by
seconds and few intimate friends, repaired
to a spot between here and Baltimore
at an early hour this morning. The
weapons chosen were pistols. Arriving on
the ground the seconds attempted to settle,
but without success, and arrangements
for the fight were concluded. 1t was agreed
that the first interchange Of shots should
take place at fifteen PAGES, and if this
should be without effect, then tie distance
shOnld be reduced to ten PAGES and another
pass INDUCED, and finally, if this attempt
to secure accuracy to trembling hands
should fail, that the range shoald be re-
duced five steps. With this understand
ing, both parties took their positions at iif-
teen PAGES, and fred. Nobody in tile Vi
cinily was hit, 80 far as heard from, and
without insisting upon a shot at the re-
duced range, the seconds easily arranged
matters, and the parties returned kome

! Matter Of Interest to e everybody.

n N0ttcr OK AnteTest 10 NVeTyDouys
Editors and printers claim to be an in
dependent class Of men, and peculiarly
sensitive if the rights of the community
are trespassed upon, or the honor Of the
public invaded. But there is no class OF
men in the world that are so easily i'm
posed upon by the public, or by the State
land very often by private Individuals
as publishers of newspapers. For profes
sional gentlemen who pretend to educate
the peoplein everything pertaining to in
telligcnce and financial science, their
credulity is every day apparent, and often
practiced upon. AS class they are hard
working men, and niggardly paid for
their labor. The statutes Of this State
allow weekly paper $50 for publishing
the laws of general interest passed at each
session of the Legislature. This is an i'm
position upon every newspaper in the
State, (except the Madison Journal) as il
costs moro than that amount for the com
position. The laws of the State should be
a matter Of general interest to the people
Of the State, and a thorough publication Of
the general laws passed at each session OF
the Legislature should be made in the diff.
fercnt newspapers throughout the State.
IF tho law was so amended that SlOo
should be received for the publication OF
general laws passed, there would be
more thorough dissemination of what each
session of the Legislature performs, either
for the benefit or detriment Of the people.
If the press throughout the State, would
urge upon the Legislature the necessity Of
this change, it could be made, and the
benefit to be derived from it, would ten
fold pay the additional expense, besides
paying newspapers adequately for services
and labor rendered.-Sparta Wis DEM

A Romantic Incident in His EARLY


A Romantic Incfdent in His Early
Life.
From The New York Evening Post.
Some forty years since Salmon 7. Chase
was private tutor in the family of William
Writ, Attorney General of the United
States dnring the administration of John
Quincy Adams. The usages of Washing
ton society accorded to persons in his sitsi-
alton the eafrss to the fashionable circles of
which Mr.. Writ and his family were dis
euished ornaments. The position OF the
young tutor, however, was somewhat aBom-
alous and embarrassing among the elite OF
the political and moneyed aristoeracy, and
by managing mammas and ambitious
Young ladies', his approaches we're rather
endured thnn encouraged There wac a
marked exception, however, to this lily
concealed indifference in a lady whose
character and accomplishments gave her
commanding position in society, who al
ways cantriyed 10 make room for him in
The charmed circle which the Sraces Of her
manner and conversation invariably drew

favor were not to be despised or disreg lrded.
Upon the breaking up Of MIR. Adams
administration, Mr.. Chase removed To Gin

of the law, while he supported himself by
teaching. He was remarkably successful
as lawyer, and also as a politician, and
but few years comparatively had inter-
vened when he returned TO Washington

his iirsi inquiries was one respecting The

him in his obscurity, bat the places that

and mSking his way to her humble resi-
dence, he found her confined 20 hes bed
