The Impeachment Decision.

Govsrnment-the vote for aequittal was
nineteen. After taking this vote, the
Senate adjourned the trial, without taking
action on the other articles, to Tuesday,
rthe 10Th.
The eleventh article charged the Acting
President with declaring in public speech
that Congress was not lawful body, there
by declaring that its legislation was not
law nor obligatory upon him, and deny
ing its power to propose amendments to
the Constitutions. Also, that lie attempted
to prevent the execution Of the Tenure-of.

Speaking of the convention that nom
mated the Hon. Geo. w. Julian for Con-
gress, the Franklin Democrat says:
"They were mostly men who have hai
but little experience in Conventions of a
Congressional character, and, Of course,
they thought they were doing big thing
in making a Congressman.

For the Office of Recorder
the Democrats have nominate d
Jonathan Brine, the clever old
gentleman whose drawer full
of apples has won for him the
election for the past twelve
years, Notwithstanding he is
acknowledged TO be incompe-
tent to discharge its duties. 1t
is a subject of general remark
by every member of the bar
who practices at this Court, as
well as by other parties who
have business with the County
Records, that they are trans
cribed in such a hand as no
man can read, and when finally
translated into the English
language by some one skilled
in hleroglyphics, they are mac
curate and unreliable. We
say Mr., Brine is a clever old
gentleman, but the county is
not able, nor are they under
obligations, to keep all the
clever old gentlemen in offices
they are incompetent to fill.-
If he holds the office as a kind
of a public charity, it would
be much cheaper and much
better to just appropriate 5000
per year Of the County Fund
to his support, to keep him
from spelling the records
One of these days Vinton
county will have to pay some
person FROM three to five thous-
and dollars for n,cribing
the deeds, mortgages, ETC., re-
corded by Mr.. Brine, in a legi-
bic handwriting, and every day
he holds that oHiice but adds to
this expense. We refer any
man in the country-be he Re-
publican or Democrat-to the
Recorders Office for proof of
our statements.
Against Nh. Brine, Capt. E.
L. Hawk is a candidate. lie
is qualified for the position not
only by education, but by his
avery day business.

The Senate has passed resolution
of thanks to Stanton. For what? FoI
making skeletons OF able-bodied men
in their prison pens at Andersonville
and Belle Island? Better thank Grant
for the same thing.-Sptrit Of DemOc-
racg in Democratic Enquirer.
Such, indeed, is the spirit Of
latter-day Democracy! Stan
ton starved our boys in rebel
prison pens; Grant butchered
our loved ones at Vicksbure
and Petersburg; Butler fired
colored orphan Asylums, and
hanged women and children to
lamp-posts; Dix invaded ouI
northern, and Hobson oul
southern borders; Sherman
fired his native city; Sheridan
executed his own soldiers; Ros-
ecranz murdered deserters; and
the ape, Lincoln, the idiot rail
splitter, looked on and led
them to more fendish practicesl
While this was going on the
gentle Wirtz was making sweet
cakes and tarts and weaving
blankets and clothing for our
poor prisoners; Lee, the old
grey headed hero, was shield
ing our men from the bullet and
the bayonet; Seymour and his
New York friends were pro.

as to be black, cutting the

rescuing deserters and shipping

nance, as he saw the accom-
plishment of his benificent
purposes! Such, indeed, is the

MAJOR LAWRENCE, United

18th, by a returned rebel sold

that has been murdered there
within a few months. He was
Major of the 18th Kentucky
Cavalry during the war. To
The assassinations, lynching, tar
and feathering, ETC., of citizens,
as much as any other cause
may lie ascribed the unanimity
of the North for Mr.. Lincoln in
1860. The people demand a
government able and willing
to protect the humblcSt citi
zen. AS long as Andy John.
son or any other Democrat is
President, these things will
continue. We can only have
quiet and obedience to law in
that section by the election of
a man who will enforce the
law. These murders of citi-
zens for opinions sake are as
common now as they were in
1S59-'60, but they will surely
recoil upon the heads of the
aggressorS.
In regard to the assassina-
tion of Major Lawrence, a dis
patch to Cincinnati Gazette
says:
"The assassination of Major
Lawrence, United States Mar
hal, at Russelville, yesterday,
was the deliberate result of the
determination on the part of
the rebels to kill or drive out
every Union man in their
midst. He had been repeated
~ threatened by the Ku-Klux
Klan. A week ago he received
notice that he would be killed
in less than ten days. He paid
no attention to it, and as he
was leaving the town, yester-
day morning, to serve a sum-
mons, he was stolen upon by
the assassin and literally butch
cred in broad daylight"

one of the hardest working

that direction given the Demo

They love the sweet Irish

Tie President vetoed the
