MERE.MENTION.

No less than seven new and different biographies
of Gen. Grant, it is stated are in rapid prepara-
ton by authors and printers for the Presidential
campaign. 1.-THE natural bridge in Virginia,
was recently sold for SO, 300. ''''At the election
in Cheraw, South Carolina, not a single white man
voted the Radical ticket, and but four negroes voted
with the Democrats ...'''''Gen. Sherman says he
will stump the country in opposition to partisan
conviction of the President "''''''''A new Demo-
cratic daily is to be started in Baltimore, with
capital of $4,000 ''''''''Mrs. Prentice, wife Of
George D. Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, is
dead. 1.-THE second trial of John H. Surratt,
for completely in the murder of Mr.. Lincoln, has
been set for May IL. Congress, at present.
has among its members thirteen major-generals
fifteen brigadiers, six colonels and eleven officers
of lower grades. .'''''While the Methodists have
contributed ninety thousand dollars the past year
for church extension in the South, the Catholics
have contributed six hundred thousand for the
same purpose. Mr.. H. w. Heath, of Mem
phis, has patented an auger, which, it is claimed
will bore wells at the rate of seventy-6ve or hun
dred feet day. ''''''''.A fond mother in Boston,
the other day, determined to whip her unruly son,
but tempered justice with mercy, by giving him
chloroform before administering the rod.

THE RESULT OF IMPEACHMENT.

Speculation is still rife at Washington as to the
result Of impeachment. The Radicals yet claim
that the President will be convicted, and the Con.
servatives that he will be acquitted The Wash.
ngton Star of Saturday last, says that heavy bets
were made on Friday, the odds being three to one,
in favor of conviction The Washington correspon'
dent of the Richmond Dispatch telegraphs on the
same day that "a wonderful change has taken
place in the past week relative to the result of i'm
peachment. Extreme Radicals now have doubts
of conviction. Conservatives and others believe
the President will be acquitted. 1t is the general
belief now that the verdict will not be rendered
until after the Chicago Convention. Wade's par.
ty want immediate conviction, that they may get
possession of the patronage and force the nomina-
ton of Wade at Chicago. Wilson, Colfax and 9th
or candidates, want postponement of the verdict
till after the meeting of the Convention. -

body, and have told him how admirable sacrifice
he would make, and that he hnd better give them
wide berth if he can find any plea satisfactory to
his conscience. We repeat the warning-f he is
in Montreal, let him remember that the summer is
coming, and not travel to hot countries. He has
a good enough pretext in the revolutionary course
of events, and it would be romantic madness to be
nice on points of honor with such customers as Ben
Butler. Let Davis consider the point that Butler
and Stevens argue with most eargerness against
Mr.. johnson. This point is, that to be the subject
act @ properly known as crime but that political
offence is sufficient. Inthis ismonstrous doctrine the
reign of terror lies thinly hidden. Davis will be
the next victim. His conviction and execution
will be the necessary logical result of the removal
of Mr.. johnson, if the Southern leader should be
simple enough to put himself in the clutchesof the
Radical fanatics"

DISTRICT ELECTION ORDER.

General Candy has issued an order providing for
the holding of elections in the several Counties of
South Carolina (?) on the I'd and Sd of June, for
District officers, to wit: Sheriff. Clerk, Judge Of
Probate, three County Commissioners, Coroner,
and one School Commissioner.
1t will be remembered that the Convention des-
ignated four of it's members as committee whose
duty it should be to proclaim this election within
thirty days after the ratification of the Constitu-
ton was announced. Gen. Candy, it seems, has
taken the duties of this commission into his own
hands, and is now engaged in running the new
Constitution of the State after military fashion.
The Constitution is bad enough of ITSELF but if we
are to have it administered by the military tribu-
nails, it is certainly more than either the negroes
or whites, who voted forit bargained for. Itcon-
tanned no such stpulations, and we cannot perceive
why before it is acted upon by Congress, that
Gen. Candy, or any body else, should presume to
call it the Government Of South Carolina, even if
so when thus acted upon.
The gist of the whole matter is this, we imagine.
The late election in the State has demonstrated
the fact that in many of the so-caled counties,
the white people will, in coming elections, be ena-
UlSu W COuIIOl Ilc occCllOu VI AooSio oaASA
the instrument recently ratified as the Constitution.
That instrument prohibits from voting lat present)
only persons of unsound mind-persons confined
in public prisons, and persons who are inmates of
aims houses At the military elections under the
reconstruction laws, large number of the most
intelligent and trustworthy citizens are restricted
from voting.
1t becomes important then, in certain counties,
in order to keep rebels out of Office, and cure ap-
parent defects in the Constitution, that the eec-
ton for County officers should take place under
military authority, as the order states, they will
be governed by the same rules as to revision
of registration, conduct of election, qualification of
electors, and returns of election are prescribed
by General Orders No. 49," &C., unless the Con-
stitution shall have become the fundamental law
of the State before the day Of election.

IMPEACHMENT.

The arguments of the counsel and managers on
the impeachment articles, are not yet concluded /;
but they have proceeded far enough to convince the
sensible thinking people of the country f not the
Senate) that the charges trumped against the Pres
ident are farsical and absurd.
The great argument in the proceedings, thus far,
has been made by VIM. M. Evarts ESQ.,, counsel
for the President Mr. Evarts began his argu-
ment on the 2Sth and concluded on the lst instant
speaking for four consecutive days. The United
States Senate has rarely, Of late years, listened to
more dispassionate views on constitutional law, and
the rights of the three coordinate branches of the
government, than this model effort presents. 1t
seems to be admitted now, on all sides, that the
speeches of Groesbeck and Evarts, have swept
away the last plank upon which these accusations
have been founded.
Mr.. Evarts has proved as formidable gladiator
with the weapons of satire, as forcible in logic
As sample of the deliberate wayin which he has
disposed of some of the impeachment managers
our readers will no doubt relish the following hit
at the redoubtabe Butler-the Hudibras of the
impeachment farce:
"Now, it has usually been supposed that on an
actual trial. involving serious consequences, foren-
sic discussion as the true method of dealing with
the subject; and We lawyers appearing for the
President being, as MIR. Manager Butler has been
polite enough to say attorneys whose practice in
the law has sharpened but not enlarged their intel
lect, have confined ourselves to this method of TO-
rensic discussion. But we have learned here that
there is another method of forensic controversy,
which may be called the method of conclusion.
Now, I understand the method of concussion to
be to make demonstration in the vicinity of the
object of attack, whereas the method of discussion
is to penetrate the position, and, if successful,
capture it. The Chinese method Of warfare is the
method of conclusion, and consists of great bray
ing of trumpets, sounding of gengs, and shouts
and sbrieks in the neighborhood Of the opposing
force. When all this rolls away, and the air is
freer, the effect is to be watched for. But it has
been reserved to u.s. in our modern warfare, as il
lustrated here in the rebellion, to present more
singular and noticeable instance Of the method of
warfare by concusson than has ever been known
before. A fort, impregnable by the methods Of
discussion THAT is, penetrating and capturing it,
has been, on large scale, attempted to be cap
tured by the method of conclusion, and some hun

THE CROPS.

Our farmers express themselves as well pleased
with the prospect for wheat crop. There was q
larger quantity of this grain sown last fall than
usual heretofore, and the fields now present con-
dition of high promise.
Owing to the continuous rains during the spring.
and the excessive amount of politics, the planting
of corn and cotton has met with serious interrup'
tions, and the District is badly behind time in this
matter.
Recurring to the wheat question, we have been
handed by Mr.. John Cairnes, of Blairsville, few
stalks of wheat gathered from his farm, measuring
near four feet in length, fully headed, and in
hoom
