The Three Jolly Husbands.

Three jolly husbands, out in tho
country, by the names of Tim Wat
son, Joe Brown and Bill Walker,
sat late one evening drinking at a
village tavern, until, being pretty
well corned, they agreed that each
one, on returning home, should
do the first thing that his wife told
him, in default of which he should
next morning pay the bill. They
then separated for the night, en-
gaging to meet again the next NOR
ming, and give an honest account Of
their proceedings at home as far as
they related to the bill.
The next morning Walker and
Brown were early at their posts
but it was some time before Watson
made his appearance. Walker be-
gan first.
lyon see, when I entered my
house the candle was out, and the
fire gave a glimmering of light. I
came near walking accidentally into
a pot of batter that the pancakes
were to be made of next morning
Ny wife who was so dreadfully out
of humor of sitting up so late, said
to me, sarcastically-
Blu, do put your .foottn the bat
ter"
"Just as you say, Maggy,' said
[; and without the least hesitation,
[ put my foot into the pot of batter
md then went to bed.
J Next, Joe Brown told his story.
"My wife had already retired to
'ur usual sleeping room, which adj
oins the kitchen, and the door of
Which was ajar; not being able to
lavigate perfectly, you know, l
made a dreadful clattering among
he household furniture, and my
wife, in no very pleasant tone, bawl-
d out

''No sooner said than done. I
jeized hold Of the bail of the pot,
md striking it against the chimney
am, broke it in a hundred pieces.
After this exploit / Iretired to rest,
md got a curtain lecture all night
or my palms."
1t was now Tim Watson's turn
0 give an account himself, which
lie did with a very long face, as
ollows:
my wife gave me the most un-
ucky command in the world; for
was laundering up stairs in the
ark, when she cried out
DO break your rotten neck; do,
Tm!"
"I'll be cursed if I do, Kate
aid 1, as gathered myself up, "I'H
ooner pay the bill" And so,
Indlord, here's the cash for you;
I'd this is the last time I'll ever risk

ife."

NATIONAL NoMrNEEs.-The Chi
cago Tribune, in relation to the
probable nominees for President
and Vice President, says:
"That General Grant will be nom
mated by acclamation for President
by the Republican National Con-
vention, is as certain as that he lives,
and that he will be triumphantly
elected is the universal belief of
both parties.
The only contest in the Conven-
ton will be on the Vice Presidency.
For that office there are numerous
candidates. The Republicans of
New York have put forward Gov
erpOr Fenton; Pennsylvania brings
out Ex-Governor Curtin; Massa-
chusetts names Senator Wilson; !;
Maine expresses her preference for
Senator Fessenden; Connecticut
has designated Ex-Governor Buck
ingham; Maryland proposes Sena-
tor Cresswell; Kentucky ex-Attor-
ney General Speed; Ohio has in
structed for Senator Wade; Ten
nessee for Governor Brownlow, and
Indiana and Michigan for Speaker
COlfax. As Illinois, the Empire
State of the West, will present the
sole candidate for President, she is
not expected to take a very distin-
guisbed part in choosing a Vice
President. Still, among all the can
lidates named, we risk nothing in
saying that the selection of Colfax
would give the Republicans the
greatest pleasure.
If the Eastern States shall unite
IN Vice Presidential candidate,
he West will cheerfully accept their
but of this there is little
present probability. New York
would prefer Colfax to Curtin, and
Pennsylvania would rather have
Jolfsx than Fenton, and so of tie
)ther Eastern States. Colfax wo'd
)e their second choice. Some think
he contest will narrow down to
Wade and Colfax, in which case it
S not difficult to predict the result.
f Johnson is removed and Wade
him, it is somewhat doubt
ul whether he would accept the
lice Presidency, unless it were
unanimously rendered and pressed
pon him. Looking at the matter
n all its bearings, keen politician
gould come to the conclusion that
he Republican ticket will be GRANT
nd CoLFAx-a ticket that would I
popular approval and or
anize victory.

The first issue of five-twenty
bonds is redeemable now. Why
does not the Republican party per
form its pledge, so positively af-
firmed by its conventions in Ohio
and Indiana, by proceeding to re-
deem them in the lawful money of
the country p Chicago Times.
The Republican party of Ohio
would be delighted to redeem them
if the National Treasury had the
means to do so. There are hun
dred millions Of gold in the Trea-
sury that might be sold for legal
tenders which would buy up only
fifth of the bonds now redeema-
bic, but Mr.. johnson and Mr.. Nc
Culleugh are opposed to it. The
Times and the Plain Dealer would
have the Government print S514,-
100000 of greenbacks with which
to redeem. The Republican party
of Ohio never pledged itself to
water the currency to that extent.
That they leave to Brick Pomeroy,
and the Pendletonian repudiators
of the West. The greenback that
the laboring man carries about with
him should be made more valuable
instead of less, as these Western
financial quacks propose. Just as
fast as the Government has the
means to buy up the 5-20s, so fast
it ought to buy them. We are op-
posed, however, to running gold up
to 200, as would be the case with |
more than five hundred millions
more greenbacks thrown upon the
eountry.-C Cleveland Herald.

son, President of the United States
not only endeavors to thwart the
constitutional action Of Congress
and bring it to naugbt, but also to
hinder and oppose the execution Of
the will of the loyal people Of the
United States, expressed in the only
mode by which It can be done,
through the ballot-box, in the elec.
ton of their representatives. Who
does not know that from the hour
he began these, his usurpations of
power, he everywhere denounced
Congress, the legality and consti-
tutionality Of its action, and defied
its legitimate powers, and, for that
purpose, announced his intentions
and carried ont his purpose, as far
as he was able, of removing every
true man from Office who sustained
the Congress of the United States.
And it is to carry out this plan
of action that he claims the unlimi.
ted power Of removal, for the illegal
exercise of which he stands before
you this day. Who does not know
that, in pursuance of the same
plan, he used his veto power indis-
criminately, to prevent the passage
of wholesome laws, enacted for the
pacilicatiOn of the country2 and
when laws were passed by the con-
stitutional majority over his vetoes,
he made the most determined OPP
position, both open and covert, to
them, and, for the purpose of ma
king that opposition effectual, he
endeavored to array and did array |
all the people in rebellion to set
themselves against Congress and
against the true and loyal men, their
neighbors, so that murders, assas-
and massacres were rife
all over the Southern States, which
he encouraged by his refusal to con-
sent that a single murderer be pun
ished, though thousands of good
men have been slain; and further,
that he attempted by military orders
to prevent the execution of acts Of
Congress by the military command
ers who were charged Herewith.
These and his concurrent acts show
conclusively that his attempt to get
control of the military of the Gov
ernment, by the selling of the De-
Dartment of War, was done in pur-
suance of his general design, il it
we're possible, to overthrow the
Congress of the United States and
le now claims by his answer the
light to control at his own will, for
he execution of this very design,
very officer of the army, navy, ,
ivil and diplomatic service Of the !
United States. He asks you here, !
enators, by your solemn adjudica-
ion to confirm him in that right, to !
invest him with that power, to be
sed with the intents and for the
urposes which he has already !
hown.

I Have Kissed Thee in My
Dreams.


When the warbles Of the wildwood
To the leafy branch had flown.
While the stars were looking downward,
And tho streams ran rippling on.
While the pearly dew was sparkling
Meath the moons soft, silver beams.
In the calm and gentle beauty e
l have kissed thee in my dreams.
IhaYe heard thy soft voice flowing
On the Silly midnight air;
have seen sweet flowers reposing
In the wavelets Of thy hair;
I have seen thy footstep stealing
Where the wild wood water streams
And where lilly-tOps were weeping
Ihave kissed thee in my dreams,
Autumn leaves may drOop and perish;
Flowers may wither and decay.
Still thy smiles I'll ever cherish
Never shall they fade away.
Tho dark waters roll between us,
Yet thy bright eye on me beams.
Rolling rivers cannot part us,
For I've kissed thee In my dreams.

General Buffers Argument on
the Tenth Article.

Article 10 alleges that intending
to set aside the rightful authority
and poweas of Congress, and to
bring into disgrace and contempt
the Congress Of the United States,
and to destroy confidence in, and
to excite odium against Congress
and its laws, he, Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States,
made divers speeches, set out there
in, whereby he brought the Office of
President into contempt, ridicule
and disgrace To ascertain these
charges, there will be put in evil
dence short notes of reporters in
each instance who took these
speeches, or examined sworn copies
thereof, and one instance where the
speech was examined and corrected
by the private secretary of the Pres
ident himself.

THE REPLY.

To the charges of this article, the
respondent answers that conven-
ton of delegates, of whom he does
not say, sat in Philadelphia for GER
tain political purposes, mentioned
and appointed a committee to wait
upon the respondent as President
of the United States; that they were
received, and by their Chairman,
Reverdy johnson, then and now a
Senator of the United States, adj
dressed the respondentin a speech,
a copy ofwhich the respondent be-
.lieves from a substantially correct
report is made part ofthe answer;
that the respondent made a reply
to the address of the committee
While, however, he gives US in his
answer copy of the speech made
to him by Mr.. Reverdy johnson,
taken from a newspaper, he wholly
omits to give US an authorized ver-
sion of his own speech, of (which he
may be supposed to know quite as
much, and thus saved some testi-
mony. He does not admit that the
extracts correctly or justly present
his speech. But again, he does
not deny that it does, so far as the
same is set out, AS to the speech
at St. Louis, he does not deny that
he made it; says only that he does
not admit it, and requires in each
case that the whole speech shall be
proved.
ASSURANCE TO THE PRES
IDENT.
In that, 1 beg leave to assure him
and the Senate, his wishes shall be
gratifed to their fullest fruition.-
The Senate shall see the perform
ance, as far as is in our power, to
photograph the scene by evidence
On each of these occasions, and |
shall hear every material word that
