E- The Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, it seems. is at work to defeat, if
possible, the building of the great
Virginia road. 1t wants no competi
ton with its route to the sea- board,
and by liberal use of its means and
great influence, seeks the defeat of
all rival routes. If our branch
road is not built, its defeat will be
owing wholly to the se!fshness of the
Baltimore road, and itsdesire to him
der and embarrass the construction
of the Virginia road. But more
anon. Just now we wish to call at
tention to the following extract from
the Richmond Dispatch, as showing
what the Baltimore influence is doing
touching the great Virginia road.
That paper, in an able article upon
the subject of the difficulties to be
met and overcome by the friends of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad,
says:
The great Chesapeake and Ohio
line of improvement-the earliest,
most cherished, and most important
line of improvement projected by
Virginia-is now a sufferer from
these sectionalisms thus nourished
and stim ulated. There are agents
busily at work, feed, as we believe,
by corporation which would, if it
could, destroy every city in Virginia,
endeavering to obstruct and embar-
rass the county subscriptions to the
work, and to retard and delay all our
movements. Wemean the Baltimore
and Chic railroad. We know some
of these agents. and have seen their
works. We will not say that they
are paid fer any specific work; but we
say they are agents of that immense
corporation for some purpose or 9th
er, and that they understand its poll
cy and conform to it. Delay of the
superior Virginia line from the At
lantic to the Ohio but strengthens
that corporation, and encourages the
hope that the success of the Virginia
line when it is built will be all the less
imposing and solid the longer 1t is
postponed.
1t is an adroit step, and as unscru-
pulous as it is adroit, thus to take ad-
vantage of the sectionalisms of a
great State to cripple its prosperity
and prevent the increase of its re-
sources. Corporations are said to
have no souls; but they contrlve to
appeal most effectively to the gener-
GUS impulses Of unsuspecting people,
through favors and good cheer bount
fully employed, to profit by emotions
they were never suspected them
selves to own.

received was that the President, upon
the afternoon of the 92d of Fobuary,
directed witness to try TO take the case
of Thomas up to the Supreme Court
upon writ of h06eaS corpus.
Upon the cross examination the fact
was developed that after the failure to
have Gen Thomas committed, so that
a writ ofha5eas corpus could be obtain
ed, the President directly took certain
other steps to be taken to sue out a
writ of quo acarrento and that, although
the witness had done this, and prepar-
ed the necessary papers, up to this day
he had received no directions from the
President, or any one of his officials, to
proceed any further in the matter.
Counsel Richard Merrick, who was
associated with previous witness in the
Gen. Thomas case, also gave detail
ed account of the proceedings in Judge
Carter's Court. The purpose of the
counsel in this was to show that when
the President was trying to make a
case for the Supreme Court, Judge
Carter prevented it.
After Merrick, o. H. Perrine, OF
Brooklyn, was put on the stand. He
knew Mr.. johnson in Tennessee; stump
ed it with him; knew him very well;
was on the opposite side in politics;
all of which he swore to in very i'm
pressivs manner According to his
testimony, he had agreed to introduce
member of Congress, from New York
State, to MI. johnson, on the very day
he removed Stanton. 1t was then pro-
posed to put in the declaration of Mr..
johnson, to those two gentlemen, that
Gen. Thomas was only appointed for a
short time, until he could send in some
good name to the Senate.
To this the Managers objected. At
the end of a brief argument upon admit
ting this conversation the Senate re-
fused by vote of 9 yeas. to 81 nays
This being ruled out, counsel stated
that they had nothing further to ask
witness, and that they had gone as fal
as they well could until Mr.. Stanbery
could appear, or they could further
consult with him.

WASHINGTON, April II.

The first step of the Senate to-day
was one looking to carrying forward
the trial more rapidly by meeting an
hour earlier. A motion made by Mr..
Sumner to meet daily at 10, was lost by
large majority, and substitute to
meet at II was adopted by 90 to II.
Four witnesses were then produced
in succession to give evidence concern
ing the Presidents Cleveland and st.
Louis speeches.
Judge Curtis next introduced a copy
of the commission given by President
John Adams to Washington as Lieut..
Gen. and Commander in Chief to show
the style of commission at that time
The Tenure-of-office on this was during
the pleasure of the President for the
time being, or of future Presidents OF
the United States. The next documen-
tary evidence was in relation to the
modes pursued in the State Depart
ment, in appointing Vice Consuls, in
case the death or sudden removal of
Consul. Friedrich Seward was called
to explain the documents presented.
Secretary Welles was then called as
the first of the Cabinet Ministers. All
the others, except Stanton, being on the
floor. Gen. Thomas had a seat in the
gallery.
The first real contest of the day was
over admitting part of the testimony
of Mr.. Welles. He was allowed to re-
late that his son had discovered some
suspicious military movement about the
Departments in the afternoon of the
21st, and these was duly reported to
the President. The first day he went
to the White House himself to see about
it. Then it was proposed to show by
the same witness that the President
said on the 21st about having removed
Mr.. Stanton. To this the Managers
made substantially the same objection
as have been raised before. Counsel
said they wanted to prove that the
President had told his Cabinet that he
had removed Mr.. Stanton. That Gen.
Thomas was in the Office. That Stan
ton acquiesced, and only wanted time
to collect his private papers. After
considerable debate the Chief Justice
ruled that such evidence was most
clearly admissible, and the Senate, by
a vote of 26 to 90, sustained Mr.. Chase.
This vote was in accordance with
the previous rulings of the Senate, by
which the declarations of the President
made both before and after the act OF
which he is charged was committed,
were allowed to be put in evidence.
But the next point to which witness
was brought was of somewhat differ
ent character, and its consideration will
occupy the Court the first thing in the
morning. 1t is proposed by counsel to
call up the Cabinet Ministers to prove
that t-they all advised him that the Ten
ure-of Office law was unconstitutional,
and that he was not bound by it, ETC.
The propriety of receiving such evi-
dence was discussed at length on both
sides, and before the debate closed the
Senate adjourned.
On all questions which have arisen,
Mr.. Wade has refrained from either
voting or taking any part. Mr.. Patter-
son, of Tennessee, has never failed to
vote On the side of the President.

Eg The Ohio Legislature has
finally passed the "visible admixture
bill" Its intent is to prevent any
one having African blood in his
veins from voting. Such sort OF
Legislation IS undoubtedly unconstl-
tutional, but still it will be the duty
of Judges of election to enforce 1t,
until the. proper tribunal has passed
upon the question of its constitution
ality. Leave to Andy johnson, and
the Democratic party, the infamy OF
refusing to obey law because 1t is
believed to be unconstitutional. Re-
publicaus, we trust, have better
knowledge of our system OF govern
ment than that, and hence will obey
the law until the proper tribunal de-
clares it imperative, because uncon-
stitutional.

Impeachment,

The evidence, on both sides, in the
impeachment trial, closed on Mon
day. An adjournment for two days
was then asked for, that counsel
might examine the evidence before
commencing to sum up, which was
granted. The argument therefore
will be commenced to-day, Wednes-
day. and occupy probably four days.
We shall, no doubt, have the result
next week. 1t is the opinion of well
informed correspondents at Wash
ington, that the Senate will find the
President guilty, and that by more
than wo-thirds vote.

The Railroad-Report of Com
mittee to Cincinnati Meeting.

Mr.. EDIToR:-At the request of GER
tain parties interested in the proposed
branch road of the Marietta and Gin
cinnati Railroad, from Hamden to the
Ohio river. at the mouth of Campaign
creek, and with lateral branches to
Pomeroy and to Gallipolis, we met ac-
cording to previous arrangement tne
President, with six of the Directors. at
his rooms in the Burnet House. I'm
cinnati. on the Goth inst, and had an
interview with those gentlemen IN re-
gard to the completion of this branch,
as we had previously understood the
arrangement entered into between the
former President, the Hon. WM. P.
CUTLER and our citizens. We may
here state that this meeting was not
formal meeting of the board, but was of
such character as to give definite
expression of opinion of majority of
the whole, as to the policy intended to
be pursued in constructing this branch
road. We can also say that we were
cordially received by those gentlemen,
and that we had free expression of
opinion, both by the President and the
other members present in regard to the
whole matter connected with our mis-
sion. We made statement to them
of what our citizens had done and pro-
posed to do in the way of assisting the
company in the construction of the
road, and that we had been assured by
the acting President of the road, when
he had accepted our subscriptions, that
the work should go on, and be con
tinuously prosecuted until completed,
within eighteen months from the 1st of
last January. They then told us that
no definite official action had been taken
on the part of the board of Directors,
any farther than to authorize the act
ing President to make an effort to as
certain whether 100000 could be
raised by subscription on the line OF
the road, as loan and upon certain
stipulated conditions. They further
stated that since that time no official
action has been taken in regard to the
matter, and that no official contract had
been entered into on the part of the
directors, as board, either to accept
the amount of our subscription as a
loan to the company, or to put the road
under contract, and therefore the COM
pany are not liable. They further also
say that it is their unanimous opinion
that the finances sf the company are
now in such condition as to render it
utterly impossible for them to assume
the additional debt necessary to the
construction of the road.
We hope this brief statement will be
satisfactory to our citizens who are in
terested in the road, and we can assure
them that the scheme has utterly failed,
as we verify believe, on account of
sufficient amount of money not being
subscribed, our county and the Key
stone Furnace Co. raising by subscrip-
ton not over $220, ,000-Meigs county
not doing anything.
Our citizens who have paid their
subscription in part, or to the full
amount, will have there money refunded
to them, of which due notice will be
given by the First National Bank of
Gallipolis.

~ "Brick Pomeroy," Of the La
Crosse Democrat, is an ardent friend
of Geo. II. Pendleton for President.
Ofcourse there must be harmony OF
principle, or this political friendship
could not exist. Here is the plan OF
the former,in regard to the public
debt:
nThis financial problem is too big
a thing to be handled, except in one
way. This whole debt has got to be
sponged out"
Pendleton is probably little more
discreet in the enunciation of his
plan, but it virtuai.y amounts to the
same thing, hence aBrick' supports
him.

R GEO. H. PENDLEToN, while in
Congress, in 1862, in denouncing the
issue of greenbacks as unconstitu-
tional, said:
"You send these notes out in the
world stamped with irredeemability
You pat on them the mark OF CAIN, and
like CAIN they aoiH go forth to be vGga-
bonds and fugatives on the EARTH"
How easy it is, after he gets to be
President, and his plan for paying
the debt in greenbacAs is carried out,
to declare these latter unconstitu-
tional, and thus wipe out the whole
thing. And how foolish it looks
how much like pure demogougery-
to advocate the payment of the debt
in currency that Is not only "nn-
constitutional" but stamped with
irredeemability." To us the whole
thing looks like reputation, and
with it financial distress and ruin.

WASHINGTON, April 13.

The result of the days work in the
Senate has been to reach the close OF
the evidence on the part of the defense.
Great interest was manifested IN the
proceedings throughout.
After six inquiries of counsel, from
Senator johnson, and one from Senator
Howard, as to the bearing of questions
asked of Secretary Wells, Manager VIII
son took the floor in opposition to ad-
mitting the testimony of Cabinet Minis
ters. His speech occupied three-quar-
ters of an hour in delivery. 1t was
listened to most attentively, and pro-
duced a very marked effect upon the
Senate. Judge Curtis replied briefly,
evading many points made by Mr.. Will
son, saying that the time had not yet
arrived to discuss the merits of the
case.
The Chief Justice rose to rule upon
the question presented. There was a
general leaning forward by all parties
to hear this decision. He declared the
evidence admissible, as going to show
the intent of the Presidents acts
This was unexpected, as the Chief
Justice at least has been from first to
last consistent in his rulings, but all
turned with great eagerness to watch
the result of the yeas and nays upon
the question. The Chief Justice, coun-
sci, Managers, Senators and galleries
followed the call intently until it was
over and the result announced, 90 yeas
to go nays. There was a decided SEN
sation in the Chamber, as it is regarded
as the nearest to test vote of any TAX
en- since the trial began, though sew
eral either voted in the affirmative or
failed to vote, who are regarded as GER
tain for conviction. s

clay violent hands on

This is part of the text which the
edition of the Dispatch keeps stand
ing at the heads of it's columns.
How true it is of the majority of the
present Legislature of Ohio, ride
their laws disfranchislng students at
College, and the heroes of the late
war, now inmates of the Soldiers
Home, at Dayton. These two classes
have had laid upon them "yiolent
hands," in the shape of disfranchis-
ing acts, because they "differ with
them in their opinions. If the edi-
tor of the Dispatch had any sense OF
shame in his composition, he would
change his text, especially the above
words, and those other-"set the
Supreme Court at defiance"-as they
are standing reproof of the infa-
nous acts of his party in the Legis-
lalure.

WASHINGTON. April 10.

The Managers will meet at an early
hour tomorrow, to determine whether
several additional matters of evidence
at their disposal shall be presented. 1t
is probable that the day will be Occupi-
ed by few witnesses GU each side, and
that the argument will not begin till
Tuesday. The opinion is very general,
in all quarters tonight, that conviction
on the article charging violation of the
Tenure-of- Office act is certain, by more
than the necessary vote. Gov. Bout
well opens on the part of the Managers;
Evarts follows him. Stanbery then
closes for the defense and Bingham for
the prosecution.
