The Press this morning informs its readers
that the polls on election day open at eight
o'clock in the morning and close at six in the
afternoon. This is an error. The polls are
required by law to be opened at seven O'Clock
and to close at six. By voting early you will
have done your own duty, and will then be at

The Presidents Danger.

MACK" the Washington correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Commercial, says:
The great danger Of the President is
the over.confdence of his counsel, and
the possibility that they may be led to
rest their case too soon, from belief
that the Senate cannot possibly convict
on what has been already proven. Stan
berry, Evarts, Curtis and Groesbeck are
all eminent lawyers, accustomed TO
practice before high courts, and TO have
decisions rendered upon the merits OF
cases. The difficulty is to make such
men realize the fact that the highest
court in which they ever practiced IS
also a political caucus, and that they
must shape their case for the caucus aud
not for the court If they rest 1t on
the court basis, they will be beaten; in
order TO succeed they must make 1t 80
strong that the Judges" cannot face the
people if they fail to acquit Mr.. Stan
berry is reputed to have said that II the
matter we're on trial before jury, or be-
fore the Supreme Court. he and his ASSOC
ciates would not consume any time IN a
defense, because the prosecution has
proved nothing in the nature Of crime
They would be willing to risk a verdict
without calling witness or making an
argument. But that wont do be.
fore the Senate-a "court composed
of politicians-most of them pledged
TO conviction before the trial began-a
court whose character and organization
prove the pith Of what Macaulay said OF
The House of Lords in his essay on War
rem Hastings: that it is impossible for
that great body to divest itself Of polit.i-
cal prejudices in the trial of an impeaeh-
ment. 1t is very essential that the
Presidents counsel should keep this fact
before them, and govern themselves
accordingly. If they do, they can make
out such case as will acquit the Presl-
dent now, or convict his aecusers next
fall.

The Impeachment Show and the Tickets.
Impeachment is in most unexpected
dilemma. 1t cannot get an audience.
People actually will not 60 to hear the
eloouence of Butler, and deliberately
refuse to be curious as to the testimony
that is given from day to day, seeming
to impugn its freshness or to doubt that
Il is of any great consequence. To the
impeaehers there are two classes only
of the American people-one made up
of those the impeachers can trust,
one of those they cannot. Among
the first class they have distributed
their tickets to the show, and these men
are apathetic; these, their chosen friends
in the hour of the great necessity, sbso-
lutely stay away Butit seems there are
plenty who would like to 60; hundreds
outside would like to push in and fill
the untaken seats, so the play might not
be done TO empty boxes. But this will not
do. There is danger IN the very thought
And what is the danger2 Why, if
