Forney says that the food-1,ics Of calum-
ny are opened upon General Grant
General Grants position is above the reach
Of calumny. Calumny leveilel at him would
recoil upon the calumniator. No Democratic
journal, however vigorously opposing General
Grants election, will be so foolish or 50 unjust
as to calumniate him. The caIumuies which
Republican journals heaped upon General Nc
Celau four years ago made every Democrat
sensible of the niquity Of such lisgracefu po-
ltical warfare
But while General Grant is safe against all
calumny at Democratic hands, as we gladly
believe he is also invunerable oft, his friends
and supporters may be entirely assured that
the facts Of his life and of his career as a Gene
raj will be spread faithfully before the Ameri-
can people. He will be stripped quite clean,
and shown to them as exactly the man and the
soldier that he is. Nothing fictitious false, or
iIluSory will be left upon him-not shred
For example, it is no calumny 10 state that in
the campaign from the Rapidan to the James
he commanded 100000 men, and used up IL
600 Of them in using up 900 Of Lees 10000
men. 1t is no calumuy to state that the gen.
eralship which trades of the lives Of six soldiers
against one is not the sort Of gencralship which
spares human suffering and wins its victori,s
by brains.-N T. World

The Clarke journal says precious scamp,
named J. Lande, representing himself as being
connected with the firm of M"ssrs. Densmore
& Kyle, dealers in wines, liquors, &c, Balti-
more, has been swindling our citizens. He
came here with letters of introduction from
some of the most responsible gentlemen in the
county, and remained three or four days driv-
ing about the county pretending to transact
business for his house. He borrowed from Mr.
J. T. Griffith, IA merchant Of this place who
was acquainted with Densmore & Kyle S35,
for which he drew draft on the firm be pur-
ported to represent. Not content with the
$50 be had obtained from Mr.. G., be called
upon Mr.. A. J. Hartford, and through his rep
reservations and references, lie induced Mr. II.
to sell him a horse for $500, in payment Of
which he gave an order for merchandise on
Messrs. Densmore & Kyle. When the draft
and order were presented to the gentlemen upon
whom they were drawn, they were pronounced
spurious, and that the young man had been
discharged from their employ. In the mean
time Lsnde pulled up stakes " and removed
his valuable carcass across the mountain into
Warren County, where we learn he disposed Of
the horse and left upon the ears for parts IN

Another Attempt at Impeachment

1t is stated that Thad. Stevens has prepared
and will introduce into the House Of Repre-
sentatives four new articles of impeachment,
concocted by himself, without consultation
with his colleagues Of either the Reconstruction
or Impeachment Committee
These articles charge the President with a.
buse Of the parloniug power, in issuing par
dous to rebels and deserters from the Union
army, for the especial purpose Of securing their
support Of his schemes; also, abuse Of the pa
trouage Of the Government by inducing OBJ
struction in the execution Of the reconstruction
laws Of Congress; also violation Of the Con-
stitution, in establishing provisional govern
meu,s in the South without ;he consent or adj
vice Of Congress; and, lastly, 10 using corrupt
ly the patronage Of the Government 10 iudu-
ercc the elections that have been held within
the Jas; three years
Mr.. Stevens hardly expects 90 have another
impeachment trial. bu, be hopes to have bis
impeachment articles referred % another im-
parchment committee, with power 20 take tes-
tmyuy. &c, with a view to make up campaign
documents out Of the proceeds Of the investi-

from 81 to 60 cents per gallon; on the higher
grades of tobacco to 50 cents per pound, Ia
reduction of cents and other grades Of to-
bacco to l6 cents per pound; aud proposes
tax of D per cent. on Government deposits,
and l per cent on other deposits. The bill is
much longer than was expected, the committee
having reported in regard to a number of arti-
cles besides the two authorized by the House
whiskey and tobacco tits believed that men,
bers of the House who are anxious to adjourn
will make point of order that the committee
have not carried out the instructions Of the
House, and endeavor to defeat the bill.
