is made, that the Public Debt statements

THE impeachment trial, it seems, has its
amusements: A correspondent telegraphs
that while the Senate was in secret consul
tation on Tuesday, to decide whether the
trial should begin at once, or whether there
should be delay, the ladies in the galleries
spent, their time nbetting gloves and can
dies as to the number OF days delay there
would be-, It,i also. said that the amount
of iunch-eating that went on in the Senate
galleries during the time is almost fabu-
lous.

Not ON Trial for Grimes Commit
ted Against the Constitution and

ted Against the Constitution and
Laws.
Whoever has perused the proceedings of
Impeachment from the commencement un-
til this time can come to no other conclu-
sion than that arrived at by the Neu York
Herald, that ANDREW JOHNSON is no longer
on trial for crimes committed against the
Constitution and laws, but he stands ar
raigned before the highest legal tribunal of
the land to answer for offenses committed
against political organization. If, per-
chance, sufficient number OF sober-mind.
ed Senators can be found to prevent the
consummation of the great wrong which
is designed the country will be able to con-
gratulate itself on narrow escape from a
precedent which would inevitably lead to
anarchy and despotism. ANDREW JOHN
SON as an individual would be too insig-
nificant for sympathy or notice; but as the
Chief Magistrate of the United States, the
representative of our sovereignty, he be-
comes of great Importance. He has COM
mitted no crime and has been guilty of no
misdemeanor. The power of impeaching
him was never granted for partisan pur-
poses, and, whether he be acquitted or con-
victed, future history, in the light of Mr.
BUTLER's speech and of the proceedings
will consign his prosecutors to that OBJ
scurity which they so well merit"

GeueraI Morgan,s Case.

Pending the taking of testimony in the
contest between General MORGAN and Co.
LUMBUs DELANo in the 18th Congressional
District, we published what would satisfy
any candid mind, that General MORGAN
had clear and decided majority, giving
to Mr.. DELANo the advantage of claimed
irregularity. Although aware that the
Radicals in Congress hesitate not to stoop
to the perpetrarion of any meanness, if
thereby they can reap any advantage, we
did not suppose that they would do thing
so indefensibly mean as to unseat General
MORGAN from the seat he now holds by
virtue of having received majority of the
votes cast at the time he and Mr.. DELANo
ran for Congress. In this, it seems, we have
been mistaken. The Radical portion of the
committee on Privileges and Elections have
reported against General MORGAN, on the
following grounds
1. That the act of Congress disfranchises
all deserters, and that, consequently,
that body have the right to regulate the
elective franchise in the State of Ohio, re-
gardless of her Constitution and laws.
x 1QaC TO eSGdDllSu LudL d udu Is uc-
scrter, conviction of the offender is not
necessary but it may be proven by hav-
ing the opinion of his neighbors. or on
any other sort of testimony that Mr.. DEL
ANo can manufacture.
8. When there is no proof how those de-
serters voted, that it is to be presumed that
they all voted for General MORGAN, and,
therefore, their votes must be deducted
from his poll to give Mr.. DELANo major
ity of 81.
People of Ohio, this is the sort of logic
used by this truly loyal Radical committee
to unseat a gallant soldier, for differing
with them in politics, and giving his seat
to COLUMBUS DELANo, true representa-
tive of shoddy loyalty, who is said to have
paid $1,000 for. substitute to take the
place of his son in the army.
The 18th District gave at the last election
Democratic majority of 1000, and if this
outrage shall be consummated, we have no
doubt chat the voters of that District will
return General MORGAN to Congress
backed by three thousand majority. 1t
would be doing them injustice to suppose
they will not condemn in the strongest
manner possible this nefarious Radical
wrong. z
