THE MARTYREu YATES.

The national sympathy is being aroused
in favor of our radical Senator Yates
Everybody feels compassion for his infrmity,
and almost everybody thinks he is somewhat
redeeming himself by absenting himself
from the sessions of the high court, whose
members having taken an oath as senators
to support the constitution, are violating it
by making laws ''outside the constitution y
and having taken an oath to try johnson
according to law and evidence, are preparing
to violate it by condemning him without a
particle of proof
The New York World says:
awe compassionate Yates. Why should he be
singled out for execution instead Of Sprague or
Chandler, who vote, il Is true, but whose vote;
are vinous and their words the words of inebriat
ed imbecilty? Does not Yates show more re-
spect for his office by his absence than those by
their attendance? Besides, Yates has n claim on
radical regard as the author of Grant, which it is
ungenerous to ignore. He was the cock that lift
ed this political pearl from the dung-hi of the
Galena tsnnery, and made it, to drop the meta
phor, a captain of Illinoisan infantry. Is there
no gratitude in the radical soul for such a boon
1t is melancholy example Of the 'hsnkless-
ness of republics and particularly of republicans,
that the patron should be abased while his
protege is exalted, and abased, too, for a failing
charged quite as often, and quite as seriously,
upon his proteys upon himself
All this is more than true it is illustrated
truth. And the question may well be reit
Grated, why should Yates be made martyr
when Grant, an inferior man as states
man, is glor6ed?

The radicals are much dissatisfied with
the course of the supreme court, and. should
the impeachment scheme succeed, SMACK"
says that they will "change the districts,
legislate some of its present members ont of
Office, and new members in, and increase
the number of judges by new appointment
In other words, "pack" the court with men
who are committed to the reconstruction
bills of congress and pledged to belief in
their constitutionality. This will be one OF
the first things done under the new regime.
Judge Carter, who is now chief justice OF
the supreme court of the district, will be
transferred to the bench of the supreme
court of the United States, and other gen
tlemen like him viii be appointed. There
are those who say that in the change Of dis
tricts or circuits Chase will be legislated of
the bench. Certain it is that many Of the
radicals would like to legislate him out Of
Office. They denounce him every hour OF
the day, and for no other reason than be
cause he has presided over the impeach
ment with that judicial dignity and impair
TALLY which alone have saved the trial from
being O complete burlesque."

OUR TICKET

The st Louis Republican, in q notice of
the Illinois democratic state convention.
thus refers to four of our candidates:
John Z. Eden is native of Bath county.
Kentucky, where he was born February Lat.
1879. When he was quite young, his pa-,
ents removed to Indiana, and it was in the
ia'ter state, we believe, where he received
ms education. After finishing his studies
In the common branches of tuition. he read
law and began Its practice in Illinois He
wasaccounted an excellent advocate. and f,or,
1856 to 1860, he held the office of states a.
torney for the 18th District. In 1860 h.
was the democratic nominee for congress If
the Seventh District, composed of the coun
ties of Champaign, Coles. Cumberland
douglas, Edgar, Ford, lroquois, Macon
Moultrie, Piast and Vermillion. Though
Lincoln had carried this district by major
ny OF more than two thousand, Eden revers
Cd the whole thing, and defeated his oppo
nent oy majority of 1858, thus making
gain OF over three thousand. Mr.. Eden i
regarded rs sound, practical, earnest anf
energetic man, and he will make a ve-,
strong canvass.

Republicans Getting Disguised with the
Impeachment Business.

The universal disgust excited by the i'm
parchment trial, and the part allotted TO
and enacted by Butler find mild express
ion in the New York Times as follows
aft anybody thinks that Mr.. Buffers bad
gering of the old soldier, Gen. Thomas,
while giving his testimony before the senate
on Saturday was fine thing, it would be
foolish for us to quarrel with his taste. If
the senate consider it proper to permit such
vulgar and insulting proceedings to be car
ried On in its presence, it would be of little
avail for us to find fault with it. If it be
supposed that such style of management
will forward the cause ofjustice, will aid in
eliciting the truth, will enable the court or
the public to form q Judgment on the merits
of the case, then we must revise our ideas
of the human-reason. If it be supposed that
it will be cause of admiration to the world
at large, or of pride to the generations of
Americans who will read of this trail when
the actors in it have all passed away, we
think it is q dreadful error And let us say
in passing that it must not be forgotten By
by the senate or the country that che i'm
parchment trial will be reconsidered and
reviewed in the court of historical appeal,
and Judgment rendered upon it without
passion or prejudice, or party feeling, or
personal hate. In practically giving
the control of the case for the prosecution to
MIR. Butler, the house managers have indi-
| Gated the method in which they desire the
| trial to be conducted, They think the bes.
| way to be that which is practised by the
| 'shysters' of our low criminal courts.
BY twisting evidence, badgering witnesses,
| quiooing over petty points, abusing the op
posing counsel, and resorting to all the mean
tricks OF the pettifogger, it is thought tina,
their side of the case can best be served, and
the senate most easily affected. 1t was as
an adept in these practices that Mr. Butler
flrst distinguished himself in the crimina
courts of Massachusetts; and now that, il
this great case, he has the opportunity Of dis
| playing his powers unchecked before tht
senate, it appears that time has only intensi
| fed the characteristics of his earlier years
We suppose that in permitting him to man
4 age the prosecution as he has thus far man
| aged it, his colleagues have concluded tina
his style would prove most effective, and tina
it afforded the best means for securing tn
verdict which they desire. Perhaps the,
are right. We will not attempt to disput
the point. We confess we should lik
1 to have seen the case conducted differently

Catholic and Protestant Prayers.

There is difference between catholics
and professionals in the matter of praying.
When protestant prays in public he is apt
to hide his face. and bend low, in an awk.
ward, uncomfortable attitude; and when he
would pray in secret, he retires into some
secret place, where, If any one should catch
him at it, he would blush like a guilty thing.
1t is not so with our Raman catholic breth-
ren. They kneel, it is true, but the bod +,
above the knees, is bolt upright, and the face
is never hidden and, as if this were not
enough, they make certain movements of
the head which distinctly announce their
purpose TO every beholder. The same free
dom and boldness are observable in catho-
lie children when they say their nightly
prayers. Your little protestant buries lis
face in the bed, and whispers its prayers TO
the counterpane; but our small catholic
brethren and sisters kneel upright make the
sign of the cross, and are not in, the least
ashamed orssdisturbed if any one sees them.
Another thing strikes protestant spectator
of catholic worship-the whole congregation
without exception, observe the etiquette OF
the occasion. When kneeling is in order
all kneel; when it is the etiquette to stand
oil stand; when the prayer book says bew
everv head is low. These two peculiarah
ties are cause and effect. A protestant child
often has some reason to doubt whether say.
ing its prayers is after all, 'the thing" since
IL is aware that some of its most valued
friends and relations do not say theirs.-At
