Impeachment.
Tho Poo..i;.;oa; and Soo::ss.ss1asroiai friiis-
chiefs which are to result from the
impeachment movement. and from
the menaced subjugation Of the Su-
prems Court, have not been imme-
diately or severely felt The people
are naturally hopeful of the future,
for. they know that, after all, they
hold the power Of the Governmental in
their own hands, and imagine that
they will have an opportunity to
exercise it before the close of the
present, year. A >disinterested OBJ
server-tho editor of the Courier
Des Etats Dnis-femarks that there
is reason for seriously apprehending
the deposition of Mr.. johnson, and
the establishment of a precedent
dangerous to the republican ipstitu-
tions of this country. In the pre-
sence,, says the Courier, of what is
now taking place, one can hardly
explain the strange apathy, not to
say inconceivable indifference, with
which things are left to themselves.
It is said that the mind, wearied by
the incessant anxieties which have
succeeded the war, requires only the
-
illusion of few days of Fictitious
tranquility to become indifferent to
the march of events. People are
held back as formerly from the risk
of arriving at q solution of present
difficulties, more or less inst, while
waiting, perhaps, to protest at the
autumn elections, Will the expert
ment justify the blind confidence to
which the people abandon themselves
in every direction? To the same
effect, the Round Table, in its last
issue, remarks: IEh j.a!xIlApi
"The newspapers teem with con-
gratulstions upon the quiet and con-
fdent tone which, after the fret
shock of the exciting news from
Washington, they tell US the public
mind has assumed. So far as this
tone, however it may be character
lied, guarantees the national credit
and the immediate industrial .inte-
rests of the people, we unite. heartily
in the congratulations. But we
think it decidedly imprudent to trust
without reserve to appearan ces which
there is reason to fear may prove
deceitfnl and short-lived. This tenn
perate and assured air, in presence of
events that in other countries would
be reckoned the certain harbingers
of revolution, may mean something
beside confidence. 1t may mean
weariness and heart-sickness of strife;
it may mean the apathy of conscious
helplessness; it may mean general
paralysis or congestion of opinion in
the face of plausible arguments that
seem to counterbalahce each othe:.;
or it may mean the solemn hush end
1ull that comes before the burst of
tie tempest. .r a"@
Another element of danger iap-
pears in the menacing attitude as
sumed by Congress towards The
United States Supreme Court. No
less than three schemes are now pro-
jected by the radical leaders for the
subversion of the constitutional au-
thority of the Federal Judiciary.
Thus, the National h,telligencer says,
will the last bulwark of constitutional
liberty be swept away.

SERGEANT BATEs-DEpARTURE FOR
WASHINGTON. AFTER several days
delay, during which he has received
attentions of various kinds from our
citizens, Sergeant Bates left Nicker-
sons Hotel, yesterday morning.
about half-past 8 o'clock, and took up
his line of march through Main
streetfor Winnsboro. He has deter
mined TO shorten his time, and ex-
poets to arrive in Richmond on tile
9th Of April. and Washington City
on fhe 18th. During his stay in Co!
lumbia, Messrs. Wearn & HiA sno-
ceeded in taking most excellent
photograph of theGSetgeant--copies
of which they forwarded to President
johnson and Senator Doolittle, OF
Wisconsin. Sergeant Bates self-in1-
posed journey through the South we
regard as an important matter-4as
there are numbers of persons through
out the North, who think it-unsafe for
Northern man to travel in the
South, even on railroad cars; but
when an nnarmed man, carrying
United States flag, proceeds on foot,
unnolested, throughout the bounds
OF the late Southern Confederacy, it
proves very conclusively that the
people nre not entitled to the harsh
names which have been so literally
bestowed upon them by partizan
papers.
A despatch from Winnsboro in
forms us that Sergeant Bates arrived
in that town, about 6 o'clock in the
afternoon. His ankle was somewhat
swollen. and his progress materially
impeded-in consequence. i.

W cheerluily repubiish and iudorse the
following from our contemporary, the 4ppeal
u the 10Th:
Having occasion, d few days ago, to refer
to the books Of tie Assessor, we were sur
prised % learn that the sales of the house Of
y. Lowenstein IL Bros. for the months of
May ana June, were ten thousand dollars
more than those Of any other house in their
iine IN tue city Of Memphis, either whole
sale or retail, and double chat of some Of
our principal houses We say we we're as
tonished for We had never dreamed the IN
precautions looking establishment on the
eofnerot Main and Jefferson streets was the
emporium Of the dry goods trade Of Mem
Fliis, and this feeling Of astoHishnent
caused Us to desire to pay them a visit and
exauIne lato the causes of their great sue
cess.
Taking advantage OF a leisure hour on
Friday afternoon, we strolied in, and intro
I duced ourself to Mr. i. L0wenstein, and
were by him shown over the establishment,
visiting md exssaing 10 turn each depart
lnent We found them all complete, and
each one presided over by separate corps
eE employees, and kept neat as refined
lady keeps her parlors. 10 20 into de-
tailed description Of them, would occupy
more time and space than we can c0nven-
lently spare to-day, besides requiring more
knOwledge Chan we. possess of the minutia
Of the immense paraphernalia Of goods of
all sorts aud descriptions that are necessary
for the personal adornment of our house
hold goddesses. Indeed, We never before
had any idea Of what young women were
made Of, always having taken It for granted
that the old nursery rhyme was true, and
they were the embodiment simply Of sugar
and spice and al that's nice. and that their
rig was simply the coloring of the sugar
plum. Alas how deep is the ignorance of
old bachelors
The cloak and silk room, however, was
something that we could appreciate, and we
cannot pass it By IN silence The array of
beautiful fabrics there displayed is a study |
for an artist, and all so carefully and hastily |
arranged that each article shows to the best
advantage SO complete is the stock Of Mr. /
Lowenstein, that it is a prOyerb among the |
ladies', when they have not an article in the |
dry goods line, it is no use to look for it any
where else.
The corps Of employees number even in
these dull times, over twenty, and each seems /
10 vic with the others in politeBess and at !
tention Messrs. Lowenstein are evidently /
determined to have no rival in the city, and !
our other merchants might we'll take a les
son from these enterprising men. They
must wake uP, or other cities that are
stretching out their hands for it, will grasp
the trade OF our city, and bear it away ire
vocably.

The proprietor Of tins celebrated medi-

all remedies ever offered to the public for
the safe, certain, speedy and permanent
cure Of Ague and Fever or Chills and Fever,
whether Of short or long standing. He re-
fers to the entire Western and Southwest
ern country to bear him testimony to the
truth of the assertion, that in no case what
ever viii it fail to cure, if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In q
great many cases a single dose has been suf-
iicient for a cure, and whole families have
been cured by a single bottle, with perfect
restoration of the general health. 1t Is,
however prudent and IN every case more
certain to cure, If its use Is continued IN
smaller doses for week or two after the
disease has been checked, more especially IN
difficult and long standing cases. Usually,
this medicine viii not require any aid to

patient however, require eathartic medicine,
