GRANTS AMBITIoN.-There is a
very decided tendency towards fur
ther complication in national affairs,
and since it has been pretty definite
ly ascertained that "the General com
manding the armies" has ventured to
advise the prompt removal of the
President, at least one Radical Sen
ator has taken the alarm and has
ventured to criticise in severe terms
the daring insolence of Grant. At
first many were unwilling to believe
that General Grant had ever enter
tanned or given expression to the sem
timents attributed to him by the New
York Tribune; but. others who pro-
fess to know the man, pronounced the
article genuine on sight. Some in
vestigation which has since been had,
leaves no doubt that, Grant did
say that the only hope for the peace
of the country is the success of the
impeachment trial, and that the ma
tional security demands the removal
Of the President. Giddy from the
height to which fortuitous circumstan-
ces have elevated him, and crazed by
seeming near approach to the Pres.
idential chair, General Grant is not
only prepared to speak foolishly, but
to act rashly. Without mental cali
bre, he is left prey to an inordinate:
ambition with which he has been fired
by his Radical keepers, and there is
no telling what he may say or what
he may attempt. He is but the mere
tool of the Jacobins, and may be in
duced to attempt the role Of Robes
pierre; but, as the Senator alluded
to said, he had better keep a look
out for his own head. 1t is under
stood that court of inquiry is being
talked of in official quarters. Grants
commission is only held during the
pleasure of the President.

of comfort and good society. The
best -four in the country is manufac-
tured in Baltimore, and it lis in the
centre of a very extensive wheat re-
gion, while its direct communication
with the West by means of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, makes it
the best market in the Atlantic States
for grain and provisions of all kinds.
Corn, rye, oats, wheat, pork, bacon,
lard, butter, &C., &C., pour into it
daily from the teeming markets of
the West, while railroads, steamboats,
and sailing vessels are always ready
for freight to Charleston. For dry
goods, agricultural implements and
such other manufactured articles as
are not made in Baltimore, and which
the merchants of that city procure
further North, there is of course the
expense of transportation and profit
to be added to the first cost, but that
is far more than overbalanced by the
fact that the goods are already select
ed for the Southern market, and that
the Baltimore merchants are able to
buy in much larger quantities than
our own merchants, and consequently,
to obtain their goods cheaper from
first hands. For all foreign COM
modities-aconsumed at the South,
Baltimore stands on a par with other
markets, while for the coffee trade it
is special depot.
We have thus endeavored, as fully
as the limited space of an editorial
would allow, to set forth some of the
advantages of Baltimore as market
for Charleston and other Southern
merchants, but we are aware that We
have scarcely done more than point
out the lines of thought for others to
follow, and our aim will be accom-
plished if we can awaken serious and
wise consideration of the subject, for
we feel sure that it is only necessary
for the advantages of the Baltimore
market to be properly considered for
them to be appreciated and recog-
nized.-Marleston Mercury.

Result of the Impeachment.

It is difficult to form an opinion as
to the probable result of the pending
impeachment of the President, by those
who arrive at their conclusions from the
various Washington correspondents of
the Press, whose opinions differ so
widely in regard to it. The cores
pondent Of the Baltimore Sun, Of the
10th inst, says: GA very intelligent
Radical, who is ON terms of great init
macy with many Radical Senators, re-
marked: "Curtis is delivering great
speech, but it might as we'll be ad-
dressed to the Pawnee Indians, the case
is Judged now" And such seems to
be the opinion entertained in well in
formed circles here of both parties, de
spite all the attempts made to create a
different impression. Under that ter
rible influence of party pressure, the
back bones Of those Senators which
needed "stifening" are being gradually
braced up, and no fears are entertained
that they will be able to toe the mark
when the day of pronouncing the ver-
dict rolls around"
On the other hand, the correspond
ent of the Gazette says: "The resolution
offered in the House by Mr.. Robinson,
of Brooklyn, seems not to have been
entirely unauthorized by the impeach-
ers, and but little surprise was express
ed at its introduction. Although the
impeachment "ring' forced an adj
journment of the House to prevent an
expression Of opinion on the PROPOSE
ton to rescind the articles Of impeach-
ment and call back the managers, yet
there was clearly manifested feeling
of dependency which told but too
plainly that if they dared to 10 SO they
themselves would call off their dogs
and give up the chase. After the ad-
iournment the Radicals gathered in
small groups and earnestly discussed
the effect which Mr. Robiuson's resolu-
ton would be likely 10 have upon the
country. When the report of the pro-
ceedings reached the Senate there was
a most ludicrous furry among the Rad
cal members of that body, and for a
few moments business was almost sus-
pended. The rapid change which is ta-
king place here in regard to the probable
result of t impeachment trial seems to
be reacting upon the Jacobins them
selves, and is producing a correspond
ing depression IN their ranks. In u
word, impeachment is now generally
regarded here as upon its last legs"

WHIPPING THE SoUTH.-The only
thing the malignant mongrels can Of
fer in defence of their horrible oppres-
sions is to appeal to the hatred and
revenge of the baser sort of society,
and declare that "the South has not
been whipped enough" Well, it
cannot be denied that the South is so
thoroughly whipped" that both the
staples of our commerce, and the
chief market for Northern wares are
almost destroyed. We have therefore
"whipped the South" so thoroughly,
that we have whipped over 250,O0O
Northern men and women out of en-
ployment. In the single city of Bos-
ton $4,000 men, women and children
are daily fed on soup, at the public
charge. That is what comes of
whipping the South" While with
capitalists money is plenty, labor has
nothing to do, and the poor must be
fed on soup to crafty the malignant
mongrels in the sweet revenge of
whipping the South" " And every
day Will come less employment for the
laboring classes and greater abund-
ance of pauper soup, while the Chris
tian work Of "whipping the South" is
allowed to 60 on. Some years ago
Mr.. Seward, always shallow dema-
gogue, came back from a visit to
New Orleans, and made a speech in
New York which electrified all the
fools in the North, by showing that
the South was so helpless that it de-
pended upon Northern mechanics for

The National IntelHgsncer of the
7th inst, says: ain the Michigan
election yesterday the vote was upon
the adoption of the new constitution.
There were two separate articles sub
mitted d-one in regard to prohibition
of license for selling liquor; the
other, whether the sessions of the
Legislature should be annual or bien-
NAL. Michigan is one of the staunch-
est of the Radical States. Her Sen
ators-Chandler and Howard-and
her Representatives in Congress have
devoted themselves exclusively to
the elevation of the negro above the
white man. Rather tlan submit to
this disgusting imposture, the people
ofMichigan have rejected the entire
constitution. By what majority
would they hive rejected the brutal
heresy of negro suffrage had it been
submitted to them as a separate
proposition?

NEGRO RULE--The following is a
picture drawn by a Northern Radical
newspaper of the negro rule in St.
Domingo, after they have had fifty
gears of experience as rulers of about
the fairest spot on earth:
"The latest news from San Do
mingo is that the country is in anar-
chy, and the prisons are full; but
this is probably about the full extent
of its power. 1t is painful to see
such rich and charming part of the
world given up to ruin and savagery.
1t is grievous to see the control of
such a country in the hands of such a
people. But We see no help for it..
And we may rest satisfied that if
there be any lower depths of human
degradation than that which they
have reached, it will not require them
many years to sink it. If the popu-
lation would resort to canibalism, and
devour each other out of existence,
it would probably be the best thing
that could happen

ing in Illinois. resolution was offered
suggesting Mr.. Pendleton as the
Democratic candidate for President.
Mr.. Springer, of Springfield, opposed
the motion and said:
Again, l am frank to say that l
do not know whether Mr.. Pendleton
is the proper man to nominate or not.
Aside from the question of his una
Variability in some of the States, l
have another question that would

his nomination for the Presidency.

ton, whether, in the event Of his con-
stitutional election, counting out the
negro votes of. the negro State gov
ernments of the South, he means to
be President, even if he has to be
sworn in at home, and fight his way
to Washington at the head of on or
ganized Democratic army? | fear
it is coming to this. The Radicals
mean to count the negro votesof ten
negro governments, which have no
more right to be counted than have
an equal number of votes in Hayti or
Liberia, in order to elect their man.
If We are going to submit to this out
rage, we may as we'll quit now. For
| tell you weWannot carry enough
States at the North to overcome the
negro votes Of the South. Hence I
am for no man for President who is
not willing to stake his property, his
life, his all, for the cause; and if
constitutionally elected, be willing to
draw his sword, call the Democratic
hosts to arms, and claim the Presi-
dental Office at all hazards! If Mr..
Pendleton will do this, then I am for

"saw no hoes, harrows, plows, boots,

was said as sneer at the South,
which was eagerly swallowed by every

Seward and his band of malignant
fools have whipped the South" out
of the means of buying our wares; and
in the same ratio that we haye de-
stroyed our Southern market we have
established paupcr soup houses in the
North. Now if Seward were to 60
South he would find plenty of soup
houses as the net result of 'whipping

Northern noodles wants to put govern
ment, commerce and industryin the
hands of the negroes, which would ef-
fectually prevent that section from
again becoming a market of our
wares, and would render the soup
houses permanent institution in the
North. But how long will the poor
of the North continue to be fed on
soup, to crafty the devilism of the
