PEAL FROM THE CHEF JUSTICE SUSTAINED

CA, &C.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-There was no legis-
lation in either House.
The court resumed the evidence regarding
the Presidents speeches, and on that delivered
to the committee at the Philadelphia Conyen-
ton. TT Q Associated Press copy was correct
ed by Colonel Moore, the Presidents Private
Secretary. and one reproduced from original
steuographic notes was admitted. The Cleve
land speech was next taken up. MIR. Chase
rnled 40 ainst the admission Of the version
published by the Cleveland Leader, as it was
condensation from long hand notes. Senator
Drake appealed from the decision, and the
appeal was sustained by vote Of five to
eleven. Two other versions Of the Cleveland
sneech we're admitted. Most of the day was
spent in discussing the art OF reporting. Two
attempts to adjourn to Monday we're defeated.
The court then adjourned.
The impeachment proceedings to-day devel-
ooed nothing new. Butler continues to do all
the work, losing papers occasionally, apparently
for the purpose of keeping mis- associates awake
BY helping him find them. Indeed they do
nothing else.
There was a Cabinet meeting to-day, at
which General Thomas was not present.
The Reconstruction committee will consider
the Florida constitution tomorrow.
Instructions to Collectors under the new ta5
aw are in preparation.

BEAUFORT.

Our correspondent, X. Y. D., writing from
Beaufort, under date of the I'd, says:
4 nominating convention met here yesterday
for the purpose OF selecting county officers, and
making ticket for the General Assembly.
-Four or five white men and fifty plantation
darhes, with Wright, Whipper and Smalls, we're
present.
Wright was nominated for State Senator. He
received all the votes from the outlying Par
ishes, Stolbrand being on ihe slate Of the Beau
fort delegation. Wright waited quietly till the
convention assembled, ard then procured the
nomination with ease. Poor Stolbrand was
Obliged to come down to representative. The
following is the list of representatives: W.J.
Whpper, (colored), P. Smalls, (colored), Philip
Ezekiel, (colored, tailo-), W. G. Morrison,
(colored, tipncr), C. j. Stolbrand, white
(tallor), George A. Bennett, 10 bankrupt tavern
leeper). white. 1t will be seen that as usual,
the talent is rlonopolized by the colored men.
The following county officers were nomina-
ted at the adjourned meeting to-day For
Sheriff A. Williams uate sutler at Bay
Point); for Solicitor, P. L. Wiggin; for Coun-
tv Clerk. H. G. Judd; for Probate Judge, ]. D.
Bell.
There was some talk OF getting up an inde-
pendent candidate for Congress to rr1n against
Bowen. But 1T will not amount to much, as
the League is pledged to support only regular
nominations. Several letters have been re-
ceived here from prominent Radicals in Wash
ington, urging the election of Rev. N. French.
But Mr.. French is not popular with the leaders
here as in Charleston. He has told them too
many truths, and is far too able man to be
used as they desire to use their seryants. No
ticket in oppositionto to tho Radicals will be run
here. as the negro vote is about six to one.

Two years ago met Californian, who

the Sacramento river some time about the
year 1865. You remember the accident,
one of the worst of its kind, forty or fifty
persons being killed and half as many
severely injured. My acquaintance H.,
was asleep in his room when the explosion
occurred, and was thrown some two hun
bred feet into the middle of the river, the
cabin coming to pieces, and leaving him

There is place in Maine so rocky that

in with a musket; they can't raise ducks
there no how, for the stones are so thick

way the sheep can get at the speigs of grass
is by grinding their noses on a grindstone.
