The Elections in North Carolina.
General Candy has issued an order directing
elections to be held in North Carolina on the 2lst
22d and 23d Of April. The canvas is waxing warm,
and judging from what we hear from the borders
of the State, it is probable that the Constitution
will be defeated and the Conservatives succeed in
electing their candidates. Ex-Governor Vance,
the most effective stump-speaker in the State is
on the rampage in the interest Of the Conserva-
tives, and information reaches US that he is carry
ing everything before him like a whirlwind. He
addressed meeting recently in Rutherford coun.
ty, at which the crowd present was estimated at
between three and four thousand.

whence Judge Platt halls, or anything about him.

being correct, the Courts on the Northern Circuit,
embracing this District, will probably be held
soon after the Court of Appeals meet--possiby
before that time.
Since the above was put in type, we learn from
the Charleston Courier that Mr.. Platt is son Of
Judge Platt, of New York, and was admitted to
the Bar in that State.
Why the President is Impeached.
"Cory OLanus,' a humorous contributor
to the Brooklyn Eagle, gives the following as the
reasons for the impeachment of President johnson.
"Cory's" reasons certainly have some point:
"For being Andrew johnson.
For aggravating Congress by referring to an OBJ
solete document, known as the Constitution OF the
United States.
For insisting that the Union has not been dis
solved.
For asserting that white man is as. good as a
negro.
! For maintaining that the President has q right
to exercise powers conferred upon the Office by the
aforesaid Constitution.
Because Alabama didn't swallow the black
draught of the Jacobin Constitution.
For violation of the law against cruelty to ami.

The Impeachment ent Counsel.
"A Washington correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Gazette-a radical paper-furnishes the fol-
lowing pen-and-ink sketch, of the Impeachment
Managers and the Presidents Counsel:
"Mr. Bingham has certain faults, very we'll un.
derstood and very commonly criticised in the
House, of which he has long been held a leading
ornament. These were well kept under in the
