THE WESTERN HOG TRADE.-Tho

Stock hogs are abundant and the
excellent pasturage will put them i'm
fine condition for feeding this fall, and
as IL Is now almost certain that the
corn crop will be large, an increased
supply of pork may bc looked for in
the coming season, and should prices
not rule too high, there will be n
good demand from the English and
continental markets. Indeed, we
notice some Indications of this al
ready. There have been no contracts
made for the future to indicate any
thing, and there IL not much desire to
make any. Sales could not he made
but at rates much below those now
current, and yet none are willing 10
sell at much below the current rates.
II Is rather early now, however, to
expect much to bc done in this line.

The FIRST CoMER.-Arkansas is the first
reconstructed State to present herself in due
form for restoration to her former place in
the national sisterhood. having fulfilled all
the requirements of Congress. A certified
copy Of the new constitution of the State has
been received by President johnson from the
President of the Constitutional Convention.
General Gillem's official report Of the election,
showing the constitution to be adopted, has
been received by General Grant. There has
been fled in the Department Of State, at
Washington, certificate of the fact that the
Legislature has ratified the amendment
to the national Constitution known as
Article fourteenth. The State government
Just elected has been fully organized at Little
Rock, and the Legislature has elected two
Republicans to represent Arkansas in the
United States Senate, who, with the two Re
publican members elected to the House, now
await the action of Congress. \ bill for the
readmission Of Arkansas to the Union was
passed by the House, last Friday, by a vote
Of 10 to 32-all the democrats voting against
it, though they been bowling about the ex-
clusion Of the Southern States for two years
past. The only condition imposed by the
House is that the present Constitution of the
State shall not be so amended as to deprive
any citizen of the United States Of the right
to vote vino is entitled to a vote by said Con
stitution. The bill viii doubtless pass the
Senate, at an early day, and the first Of the
s.wayward sisters to return viii then be
back in the Union, in peace Arkansas,
although formerly one Of the worst pro-slayc-
" sections Of the south. now has some Of the
best Mon men ami staunchest republicans to
be found in the republic. When admitted in
to the Union again, emigration will pour into
the State sufficient to supply all the backing
needed for the maintenance Of equal rights
And the future Of Arkansas viii plainly
show to her citizens and to the Southerners
generally that the path of renewed loyalty
is also the true road to renewed peace and
prosperity.

Two Usurpers. \ Historic Parallel.

From Mr.. BnEham's Argument
By the Constitution Of England, the hereditary
monarch is no more above the law than the
humbiest subject !; and by the Constitution Of
the Uuitel States the President is no more above
the law than the poorest and most friendless beg
gar in your streets. The usurpations of Charles
|, to which reference has been made by my as
sCciate inflicted untold injuries on the people Of
England, and, finally cost the usurper his life
The subsequent usurpations Of James IL, and |
only refer to that, Senators, because there is be-
tween his official conduct and that Of the Pres
ident the most remarkable parallel that | ever
have read in human history, filed the brain and
heart Of England with the conviction that new
securities must be taken to restrain the preroga-
tives asserted by the Crown, if the people would
maintain their ancient Constitution and perpet-
uatc their liberties. 1t has been well said that
the usurpation Of James swept away the SOL
emn ordinances Of the Legislature. Out Of that
usurpation came the great revolution Of 1858,
which resultedin the dethronement and banish-
ment Of James, in the elevation Of William and
Mary, in the immortal declaration Of which it is
well said 50 1t Is the germ Of the law which
gave religious freedom TO the dissenter,' which
secured the independence fthe churches, which
limited the duration of Parliament, which is
based on liberal principles under the protection
Of juries, which prohibited the slaye-trade,
which abolished the sacramental test, which re-
moved the Roman Catholic disabilities, which re
formed the representative system, and Of every
good law which may hereafter, in the course Of
ages, be found necessary to promote the public
veal, and to satisfy the demands of public opin-
ion.
Senators That great declaration of rights re-
cords these words against this accused King Of
England
= lie has endeavorei to subvert the liberties
Of the country in this. that he has issued COM
missions under the great seal, contrary to the
laws in this, that he has levied money for the
use of the Crown contrary TO law in tLis that
he has caused cases to be tried in tho KINGS
Bench, which are cornisable only in the Parlia-
ment"
ask the Senate to notice that these charges
against James are substantially the charges pre-
scented against this accused President and con-
fessed here by the record--that he has suspend-
ed the laws and dispensed with the execution of
the laws, and in order to do it has usurped au-
thority as Executive of the nation, declaring
himself entitled under the Constitution to sus-
pend the laws and to dispense with their execu-
ton. He has further, like James, attempted to

The National Methodist Conference.

The question Of the number of additional
bishops is already engaging the attention of
this body. which is now in session at Chica-
%. Ofthe present number Bishop Morris is
superannuated, being nearly seventy-fve
years old. Bishop Baker is suffering from
paralysis with little hope of recovery. The
growth Of the work also requires some addi-
ton to the present number. There is party
in the church who desire to increase the
number Of bishops very largely, some even
going So far as to propose one for each con-
ference. Not more than four will probably
he appointed. Of those named for the honor.
the most prominent are Rev. Dr. Haven,
President of Michigan State University, DR..
Cummings, President of wesleyan University,
DR.. Raymond, Of Evanston, ILL.,, Theological
School, Dr. r. 5. Foster of New York Drs.
Hitchcock and Eddy, of Chicago, are also
named
\ resolution has been introduced requiring
the Committee on Episcopacy to inquire into
the expedicncy of arranging the annual con-
ferences into Episcopal districts, and of re-
quiring each bishop to reside within the
bounds of his district.

The Situation at Washington.

The change in the prospects of lmpeach-
nent is pretty sudden, and not particularly
cheering. Til Tuesday the mass Of the
PEOPLE of all parties were undoubtedly ex-
pecting the conviction of the President To-
day there is joyful certainty Of his acquittal
in the minds of all rebels and rebel sympa
thizers, and anxious and respondent doubt
of bis conviction in the minds Of many,-of
most. doubtlcss.-true hearted republicans.
There are "a Senator's and it VIII take sc votes
to convict. OF the 81 twelve are Democrats,
and to acquit Mr.. johnson seven Republi-
cans must vote with these twelve. 1t would
seem that Mcssrs. Fessenden, Grimes, Trum-
bull and Henderson practically followed
Doolittle and Dixon into the camp Of the
President. Three more are required to make
up the seven. These three must come from
seven men still considered doubtful.
of these it is asserted confidently that the
President is sure Of Fowler and Van Wrinkle.
One more vote, then, viii acquit him, and the
impression appears to be strong, on both
sides Of the question, that it VIII be forth
coming. If 50, quite likely the result may
take the shape Of postponernent, for definite
or indefinite time.
The position assumed by Messrs. Fessen-
den, Trumbull and Grimes in the secret ses-
sion, if correctly stated, is surprising. They
have, it is said, not only sided with the Presi-
dent, but have done so with angry and bitter
feeling against their former friends. MIR.
Grimes, the reports say, declared that he
would 3. do nothing which by implication
may be construed into an approval Of i'm
parchment ar a part Of the future political
machinery - which is as much as to say that
he would not vote for Impeachment irbaterT
Mr.. johnson had done. It is added that
"with an intensity of hatred and bitterness
that knew no bounds, he assailcd every arti-
Gle. and denounced the House of Representa-
tiyez for bringing them"
Mr. TrumbuIl, it is said, &c stated that
had this case been before any ordinary
Justice Of the Peace it would have long ago
been dismissed, as Secretary Stanton was not
removed and Gen. Thomas was not Secre-
tary Of War. Then he proceeded with his
complaints about every article - while Mr.
Fessenden read written argument in which
"he sought to vie with Mr.. Grimes in malig-
nancy toward the Hoase. the Managers and
all the articles"
Tfthe=e reports are true, they afford good
ground for anxiety as to thc result We
stall, however. not give up our beliefm the
frmness of the Senate and probability Of con
yictian till we zee the vote TO the contrary.

DEATH OF LORD BRoUGHAN.-Henry, Ba-
ron of Brougham and Vaux. died on Satur-
day last, May 9th, at Cannes in the South OF
France, at the great age of ninety years.
lie was born on the 10Th of September l. -
at Edinburgh. His family was an ancient
one. in the North of England, and his moth
er was a niece of DR.. Robertson. the famous
Scottish divine and historian.
He began the practice of law in Edin-
burrh. removed to London in 1907, and soon
became distinguished member Of the Eng
lish bar, and a leading wing member OF Par
Lament, supporting Catholic Emancipation,
Parliamentary Reform, popular education'
law reform, inquiry into the abuses of chart
table institutions, and other liberalmeasures.
He was the bold and skilful!counscl of Queen
Caroline. in the famous trial, by which
George " sought to rid himself of wife
whom he loathed. The acknowledged lead
er Of the Reforners in the House of Com
mons, he became Lord Chancellor of Eng
land and held the Office four years, when he
went finally out of Office He was yolum-
inous and vigorous writer.
On some occasions his conduct was cratic.
He had a fine estate in the South of France,
and after the Revolution Of 1913 he took
preliminary measures to become a citizen Of
that country but did not 60 on when he
learnt that he must resign his English titles.
Then he turned round and attacked the re
formers. His action in regard to our civil war
was even more inconsistent. Though he had
been an abolitionist throughout his long ca
reer, at elghty-thrce he took up the cause
of the rebcllious Shareholders, and gave the
weight of his great name to that mighty par
" in England which threw its weight into
the secession scale. He married Miss Eden,
in 1919 but the only issue of this mar
rage, daughter, died some thirty years
since.
