EXPULSION FROM THE VA. CONVENTION

On Friday afternoon Mr.. Williams, of
Amherst. a gentleman born and raised
in the North but who refused to lend
his aid to the Radical side of the House
i'm depriving Virginia of the right of
suffrage, was arranged on q resolution
offered by u person named White, and
an effort made to expel him, simply be-
cause he refused to uote on proposition
to lisfranehise all Confederate officers
above the rank of ttirst lieutenant" in
the army, and s.master" in the navy.
Mr.. Williams gave his reason for not
voting, and it was, that he believed, In
his Utmost soul, if he voted on this ques-
ton he would be guilty OF perjury
The resolution to eXpel him was tabled
by a vote of OF 50 to 80.
Not satisfied with this expression of
the sentiment of the House on Friday,
White introduced, on Saturday, anoth-
er resolution in reference to the case OF
Mr.. Williams, charging that he had
upravcly insulted" the Convention
and asking for the appointment OF a
| committee of seven to investigate the
case. And now comes the interesting
part of the proceedings.
When the name OF Mr.. Liggett, of
Rockingham, was called'on to vote on
this resolution, he arose in his seat, aud
refused to vote because he felt ''con-
tempt and disgust for the proposition. p"
Mr.. Williams was forgotten. Here was
another victim--one who had been a
thorn in the sides of Radicals from the
commencement of the session. He was
Immediately pounced upon. The call
of the roll was suspended, and the In
satiable parson--W hite--forthwith drew
I'D and presented a resolution for his
expulsion. Somebody insisted that the
proceedings were irregular-the Offend
ing member should be tried--have an
opportunity of defending himself. A
Conservative member suggested that
he might probably wish to offer some
explanation or apology. This sugges'
ton was put at rest by the expression
on Mr.. Liggett's part, of supreme con
tempt for the whole establishment. y
The vote went on and he was expelled
He Is the first victim who has been hon
ored by the application of the guillotine
He is relieved from a further participa
! ton in the melancholy farce that is be
ing enacted in the capitol.-Richaon

LATEST NEWS.

New Hampshire has gone for the Rad
icals. The National Intelligenger says
there were frauds. Doubtless, but that
does not alter the result. Forney
claims that this election is a popular
endorsation OF impeachment. The trial
begins to-day, and many think that
Mr.. JOHNSON will be deposed within
twenty days. This is not certain, for
there are many slips between the cup
and the lip. Gold has declined since
the New Hampshire election--a sure
sign that no trouble is apprehended.-
The Radicals now have full swing
We are glad of it because matters can
not mend until they are great deal
worse.

ton of our readers to the Prospectus of
the Weekly Gazette. The editors and
proprietors are Southern gentlemen
and men of culture. The tone of the
paper is very high, and its conduct is
marked by temperate dignity and
strength, which we have rarely if ever
seen equalled. The Washington Cor
respondence alone, combining, as it
does, truthfulness with spice in plenty,
is worth the price of the Daily. The
cheapness, the variety, and the RELIABLE
ity of the Weekly make it very cesi-
rabie paper for the family, and the
country reader. Subscriptions will be

r The newspapers are giving dlf-
ferent accounts of what the President
intends 20 do, and what he will not do,
on the impeachment matter. Some
saw that he is to object to the jury
majority OF them-as having formed
and expressed an opinion against MIN
already and that he will object also to
the competency of the Senate to try
him, ten of the States not being repre-
sented. Others, again, say he viii re-
sign. Others, still, that he will meet
the charges and stand his trial upon the
law and the evidence, confident that
they will not be able. with any shsw OF
Justice, to condemn him. But these are
all mere conjectures. Nobody knows
but himself, and his counsel, and ms
intimate friends, what will be his
course.

IMPEACHMENT AND THE CHIEF JUSTICE

Washington, March 5. 186s.-The pro-
test of Chief Justice Chase, which was
read in the Senate yesterday, has caused
more talk here than anything that has
occurred during the busy days that
have INTERVIEWED since the attempted
removal of Secretary Stanton.
Those Republicans who do not con-
denim the act, regret it, not so much
because it may retard impeachment as
for its moral effect upon the country. Sena-
tors who have been friendly to the
Chief Justice assert that 1t was unwar-
ranted on his part, and that it was med
ding with matter ia which he has no
concern.
All sorts OF rumors are current as to
what he has said and done within few
DAYS; but Washington is the city OF ru-
mors, though its. rumors are never 20
strong as its actual occurrences.
Among other things, Judge Chase is
credited with saying that it would be a
strange thing to impeach a man for
difference OF political opinions.
That there is want OF harmony III
the Senate is now apparent, and sever
al members of that body are named as
so hostile to Mr.. Wade that they will
oppose impeachment on that account
But this may be well doubted. The en-
dorsement of Mr.. Wade by the Ohio
Republicans is not likely to increase
the regard of Chase for impeachment.
