A Verbal Error.

In an able editorial by the Chicago Times of
the 9Th inst, recommending the adoption of
an affirmative policy by the Democratic party
during the impending Presidential cavass, and
for their use, very graphically stating such
policy, occurs one member OF sentence that
appears to us liable so misconstruction 1t is.
" that the national debt shall be paid accord
ing to its terms" If paid according to its
"tcrms," the $s51 ,000, 900 of the public debt,
created before the 25th of February, 1862,
and tor which we received 1851 100000 in
gold, would be redeemed or paid Cat the pres
ent price of gold at seventy five cents on the
dollar, while, at the time the 104Os become
redeemable, they can only be, redeemed at
premium of about forty-seven cents on the
dollar. More than that, the holders of the
1881 ,OOO, 900 would receive 6 per cent on their
advances, while the holders of the 1O-4Os
would receive usurious interest of more than
per cent. per annum, over and above the
legal rate of per cent, sufficient of itself to
extingush the whole Of the principal of the
1O-4Os in twenty years
Such probably was not the meaning of the
Times, and certainly is not the meaning of Mr..
Pendleton. The words noted were probably
intended to apply to the 5-20s (amounting to
about $S50,00O,000) and some other analogous
classes OF the public debt, and in that sense
probably command the nearly unanimous as
sent OF the democracy of the northwest, and,
it may be added, of a very large class of the
republicans of the northwest also and who
will vote with us next November on that very
question.
This notice of what was probably an mad
vertence of the Times in the use of the words
quoted, would be unnecessary but from the
fact that there is good deal of Jesuitism
lying around loose, land some of it in our own
party as we'll as in the republican party seek
ing to shelter itself under the use of vague or
uncertain words employed by the party, or to
express the policy to which it is opposed.

impeachment.

Tue spccch-making in the great impeach
ment trial closed with Bingham's speech on
Wednesday. The senate spent Thursday in
fixing up some rules TO be observed in taking
the final vote and recording the verdict, and
then adjourned over to Monday, agreeing to
take the final vote on Tuesday noon. AS to
what the verdict will be, the friends as well as
the enemies of the movement appear to be
equally in doubt The despatches say that
the betting on the result among The Washing
ton gamblers, and thatiincludes nearly every
body there, IS about equal, and hsacy.

soldier, Monument.

The canvass for this object suspended since
first Of February last to await the action Of thu
people on the tax proposition, was resumed q
the 2sth nit b this city. The people Of Ottaws
are subscribing literally. Tho contract will BE-
ready for bids within the coming three months
and we may expect to see tho work in forward
state by fall.
1t is matter inexpIcable to many, that the
tax scheme was defeated in several towns which
have subscribed literally, and this result has
caused some disappointment among those who
favored the proposition. The fact that several
influential persons who have subscribed literally,
have not only talked against it, but have even
pledged money TO defeat the tax in case it should
be voted, viii probably be a matter of greater
surprise.
The argument of those favoring the tax is,
that every person should feel it to be duty to
contribute, and as taxation is the mostequal way
OF distributing the burden it should be raised In
that manner. ta
Those opposing urge that, while it is the duty
OF all to contribute, it would be sacrilege for
oven large majority to compel those who do not
favor it, to give their money to such an object.
It will be remembered with gratitude towards
the people of this county by the soldiers and
their friends, that the difficulties encountered
were not in the shape Of oppositien upon the mer-
its Of tho case, bufonly in assimilating the va
rious ideas as to the means and manner of pros
ecuting the enterprise. The work is again going
on with reasonable success Subscribers will
find their notes at the National City Bank, and
their pictures at the book stores of Osman 81
Hapeman and Thomas Ortsn, where they will
also find frames for their pictures sold by the
Monument Association at reasonable rates, prof
its on the pictures going into the monument fund
At the close Of the canvass we win furnish each
subscriber with circular giving the names of all
subscribers, the amounts subscribed, and bal
ance sheet showing the disposition made of all
funds. We can guarantee to the public that
this scheme viii be conducted in the most eco
nomical manner.

Republican State Convention,

The State Convention Of the Republican
party of Illinois was held at Peoria, on We'd
nesday of the present week The attendance
was pretty full, but according to current re-
ports, the deliberations were not remarkably
harmonious. The southern delegations COM
planned that they had not had il fair show,
and Cook county showed such Il rebellious
spirit, on the defeat of their only candidate,
Gen. Smith, for Troasurer) that the conven-
ton threatened at one time to break up in a
row. The following was the ticket finally
nominated:
For Governor-Jchn N. Palmer
For Lieutenant GoyeInor-John Dougherty,
of Union county.
For t-Large--John A. Logan.

6snate- on the meeting q the
Senate, or "court," Mr.. Bingham resumed his
argument against the President, closing i,
about an hour and q half. He appears TO have
been in excellent vsice, and TO have spoken WITH
more IRE and energy than at any preceding stage
OF his lengthy spsech. The close was followed
Dy one OF the most disgraceful scenes ever wit
messed IN the Senate. The lobbies and galleries
Of the Senate had been filed apparently with de-
sign by nitter enemies of the President, who
greeted Mr.. Bingham's closing remarks with the
most turbulent and uproarious applause All
the efforts OF the Chief Justice to restore order
were not only abortive, but greeted with Kisses
ana expressions of contempt and insult. Kisses
and groans were called for and given for Trnn-

consultation, and then adjourned ,a'
Uouse.-After returning from the Senate. the
House was about to proceed with general bus.
mess, when Mr.. Stevens rose 10 make an explain.
alton in reference TO the Alta Vela affair. The
substance was, that he had signed the letter read
by Mr. Nelson in the Senate without knowing its
contents at the time, and certainly with M
thought of its having anything to do with i'm
parchment; but that, after reading It, he ap.
proved every word that was in the letter.
The House then took up Mr. Carey's resolu-
tion that in views Of the late scenes in the House
the impeachment managers be instructed 10 with
draw the 10th article Of impeachment, which
charges the President with using language cal
culated to bring congress into contempt The
resolution was voted down-29 TO l01.
The House then went into committee of the
whole for general debate Mr. Spanlaing made a
speech against paying the $50 government bo.1ts
in greenbacks; aud then the House adjourned.
