In Coopers' stuff the market is dull,

@ Judge GRANGER, of the Mus
kingum Common Pleas, In his charge
to the Grand Jury, last week, de-
clared many of the provisions of the
"Visible Admixture" law unconsti-
tutional, and charged that no indict
ment should be found under them.
The Judge clearly demonstrates that
the word "white," as applied to per
sons, had determinate meaning be
fore our Constitution was formed
even before Ohio was made State
and that that determined meaning
was 'one with preponderance of
white blood" and that the word as
used in the Constitution had this
meaning and no other. In other
words, the word had Judicial inter
probation first, and was afterwards
used in view of that Interpretation.

Gg The Statesman argues that be
cause the Student DISTINGUISHING Law
has been so very unproductive and after
all reaches so few voters, the Demo-
cratic members of the Legislature
should not be so severely censured for
passing it. The crime is not so great,
because of the failure in damaging as
many people as they hoped to. The
baby was born out of wedlock, but then
you see, it acas such little baby. That
sort of unreason has formed the staple
of Democratic mental food for so
long that the mental stomach has adapt
ed itself to it and Graves no other. The
furious attack of the Statesman upon
the students for their resolutions, how
ever, betokens that the jade is CALLED,

IMPEACHMENI'
THE END REACHED.
A FULL ACQUITTAL.
By TELEGRAPH.

WASHINGTON, May 26: ! O'Clock p M.
The Court of Impeachment met
and proceeded to vote upon the I'd
and Sd articles. The result was the
same in both, to-wit:--For guilty, 80;
not guilty, 19. Without taking a
vote on the remaining articles, the
Court then adjourned SINE die.
~ Our candidate for Vice Presi-
dent-Hon. SCHUYLER CoLFAx-is not
only statesman of acknowledged abili-
ty and eminence, but he is man
whose moral character stands ire
proachable. He is one of the few men
whom the corruptions of Washington
life have not contaminated. The fol-
lowing statement, by a correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette, is to the point
in this connection. In speaking of Mr..
CoLTAx's nomination, and the circum-
stances connected with it, says:
1t is noticeable, too, that it was done
on strict temperance principles. For a
marvel in such affairs, it was observed
that not drop of liquor of any kind
was to be had around the headquarters
of the Indiana candidate. 1t will be a
good thing if the result shall help to
Danish the not very creditable practice
of urging each candidates claims over
a great array of bottles. The unlimited
supply of free whisky at the Wade
headquarters did quite as much harm
as good, and the same may be SAID OF
the similar displays by the ''frst
friends of other candidates.

~ We have had for week or
two any amount of reports, to the ef-
feet that a new party was to be Or
ganized, and that certain leading Re-
pnblicans were to be at the head of
it. Especially has this been the case,
since the vote on the impeachment
of the President, with the assurance
that certain Senators, who voted to
acquit, were to be the leading spirits
of the new organization. These Sen
ators, however, it seems, have no in.
tention of aiding the enemies of the
Union in any such way. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Cinein-
natl Gazette, in speaking of this mat
ter, says
"The talk of the third party move
ment continues in spite of the over
shadowing interest of the Chicago
Convention. The persons interested
in the matter all seem to look to
Chief Justice Chase as the leader,
but just how far he encourages such
talk and approves what seems to be
the contemplated action, is not
known. 1t may be said, however,
that the third party, by whomever
led, can not enroll Senators Fessen-
den, Grimes. and Trumbull. among
its members. These gentlemen, as
there is the best authority for stating,
are all for Grant. and entertain no
other political purpose than to do
what In them lies for his success on
the Chicago platform during the
coming campaign. They have no
differences with the Republican party
on any leading question, except the
Presidents guilt under the impeach-
ment articles presented by the
House, and are as strong now as ever
in the faith and conviction that the
well being and prosperity of the
whole country will be best promoted
by a wise carrying out of Republican
principles.

mounted on pedestal at one side
of the portico of majestic temple.

female in flowing drapery, stood
near, pointing to him with one hand,
and seeming, with the other, to indi-
cate the vacant pedestal. At the op-

words, "Match him." while the re-
spective pedestals were marked Re-
publican and Democratic candidates.

An Iron Mine in Wapello Co

4
The Eddyvil'e Transcript gives the
following account Of the discovery Of
u very fine bed Of iron ore in this
county in the vicinity OF Eddyville
"On Monday last we made a visit
to the iron mine of David johnson
situated about mile and q half south
of Eddyville. We had often heard
that mine Of considerable value ex-
listed in this locality, but never until
we saw il did we believe that it exis.
ted in sufficient quantity to pay for
working. But such is really the case.
The one bed is inexhaustible, and the
quality eofthe ore far superior to some
now worked in tho Iron Mountains.
We have examined the Iron Noun
tain ore; and while there made our
selves somewhat acc aaintei with the
process ofsmelting and working; but
VIC are confident that tho yield ofiron
to the ton ofore in this mine will ex-
coed the Pilot Knob (Hamatite) ore
from 10 to Is per cent. A coal bed,
thought to be good, lies directly un-
der the vein Of ore, and within the
immediate neighborhood is an album
dance of pipe clay and limstone, be-
ing all that is necessary to enable
any man of skill and capital TO erect
works and make fortune. We do
not write merely 10 attract the eye Of
the Spectator to our town, for these
mines are open 70 tho inspection Of
aud we invite all to come and see
them.
1t must DO known that with the
Hamatitc orc, the per cent. is not so
large rs with other ores, but is far
preferable on account Of it's possess
ing qualities which make il more
easily worked"

Another Summersault,

last December year ago the Chi
cago Times the ablest Copperhcad
paper in America, came out openly
for negro suffrage as a cardinal prin.
ciple of Democracy. The clanors of
the Brick Pomcroy crowd frightened
it for the time being into an aban.
donment of that principle. In its is
sue of last Saturday following the
lead Of the New York World, and the
announcement of Chase's prospective
platform, itagain comes boldly to the
scratch, and rcncws it's beautiful
"fank movement" by favoring negro
suffrage, not only in the South, but
all over the country.
We submit below the s1licnt points
of this new bid for Democratic negro
votes:
'sThe platform of Mr.. Chase, pub
lished in THE TINES on yesterday,
will be regarded, on the whole, as a
democratic one. There is in the DEM
ocratic, as in the opposing party,
division Of opinion on the question of
negro suffrage; but there is no doubt
among democrats that the regulation
of suffrage belongs to the states. To
this doctrine Mr.. Chase asscnts, and
would not require national conven-
ton to deal with any question over
which the federal government has no
authority. = :
When The TINES urged upon the
democracy the policy Of beating the
Jacobins to death with their own
club, there was d great commotion IN
the democratic press. Had the south
ern states then come promptly for
ward and said to their negroes, ave
will make suffrage impartial, disfran-
chising none who are now voters, +" no
one doubts that the south could,
and would, have controlled the votes
Of the blacks. The democratic state
convention OF South Carolina, not
long ago, did declare in favor OF i'm.
partial sufirage;and, would the whites
in other southern states frankly and |
plainly commit themselves to the
same doctrine, they might inflict up
on the carpet baggers an overwhelm-
ing defeat in the elections Of this fall.
Al expression by the democratic
convention in favor OF impartial
not Understandings, aud general
amnesty, coupled with declaration
that it IS the privilege ofcach state to
decide for itself who shall be electors,
would not lose the party in the
north a single vote. and would divide
The negro party in the sonth. Nor
.hern democrats would understand
what such declaration would mean.
impartial suffrage was defeated wher-
'vcr the question arose last year in
tates having Jacohin maiorities and
ret that party claims to be founded
N the idea of the equality of man,
md its Hypocrisy, with the aid OF the
reconstruction infamy, has enabled
to wheedie into its ranks the great ,
majority Of the southern negroes
uch an expression would not dctract
particle from the strength Of the
rgument against the military bills.
