POLITICAL.

Among the rumors flying in Washington,
is one to the effect that Chase organ is to
be started, there, and that George Alfred
Townsend is to be the editor. ,s
Gen. Mcclellan is credited with purpose
to return to this country in September and
actively advocate the election of the Demo-
cratic candidate for, President whoever he
may be- -,
{. The Columbus State Journal says: at
has been ascertained that the detection of
Henderson, Fessenden, Grimes and Trum-
bull, will weaken the Republican party in
the United States to the extent of just four
votes This idea that they viii carry any
intelligent Republican voter with them in
their apOstacy is too ridiculous for Discus
sion."
Frank Pierce, of New Hampshire who, it
will be remembered, was once President Of
the United States, has written letter for
publication, in which he lets the Democracy
know that he will accept nomination for
the Presidency by the New York Conven-
ton, in case they fail to give two-thirds
vote for Pendleton, Hancock, Seymour, Doo-
little or Hendricks.
The seven Senators voting (" not guilty /"
on the eleventh article of Impeachment, ex-
pire Senatorially, as follows: Fessenden, Of
Maine, 1871 Fowler, of Tennessee, 18Th;
Grimes, of Iowa, 1871; Henderson, of
Missouri, 1869 Ross, of Kansas, 1871 /;
Trumbull, of Illinois, 1873; Van Wrinkle, of
West Virginia, 1869. None of them will
ever be returned by the party they have be-
trsyed, nt ~
The New York Hsrald's latest ticket is
Chase and johnson.
Our candidates for President and Vice
President are very nearly of the same age,
and may be regarded as in the prime of in
tellectual and physical manhood. Grant
was forty-six on the 9th of April last, and
Oolfax forty-fve on the 23d of March last
The Republican journals in California
that bolted during the last State campaign
have all placed the names of Grant and Col
fax at the masthead.
Senator Ross was burned in efigy in
kansas last week, by some of his former
comrades in the llth Kansas regiment.

MR.. COLFAX.

The nomination Of SCHUYLER CoLFAx
for the Vice Presidency will, we believe,
be received with more general consent
and pleasure than could have been got
for any other. He is man of integ-
rity, of experience in public affairs, of
sound patriotism, and of so fair and
friendly a disposition, so impartial a
Judgment, that though he has been
Speaker of the House in a time of un-
exampled political excitement and bit
terness, he has secured the respect and
friendly regard of his political oppon-
ents, as well as those Of the party of
which he has SO long been most ear
nest and jealous adherent. His nomi-
nation by the side of GRANT, makes
the strongest ticket ever presented to
the people of the United States.

OUR DEAD SOLDIERS.

The custom of entire communities
turning out to strew flowers on the
graves of, soldiers was started in the
South since the war. 1t is beautiful
and appropriate tribute to the memor-
les of fallen heroes, and should become
universal. The North this year for the
first time adopts the custom, and the
occasion bids fair to be honored by the
participation of all classes, creeds, and
parties. The soldiers who sleep their
last sleep, on the fields where they fell
or in the burying grounds to which
loving hands have removed them, laid
down their lives that the country might
live. sET =m o p nf1.s s-.'

END OF aIMrE1 oiHMENr i STANTON.

- ~
The Senate, as the court of impeach-
ment, has acquitted the President on
the second, third and tenth articles
the vote being the same on the second
and third as on the. eleventh article, 10
Senators voting "not guilty.. and 35
Senators voting "guilty,p- one less than
two-thirds. So the impeachment bus
inesa is done with, and nearly forgotten
already. Immediately on learning the
result of the vote on the second and
third articles, Secretary STANTON re-
signed the War Office snd went home
This was the only course left him CON
sistent with .selfrespeet The Presi-
dents appointment sometime ago ol
Gen. ScHoFIEID as Secretary of War,
will, it is likely, now be confirmed by
the Senate. 60. .sa:i

ERIE RAILwAY.-In our columns to-
day will be found the new Time Table of
this Road, which took effect on the I1th
inst. Several important changes have been
made, with which all Of our readers should
at once become familiarized. The Erie
Railway has long held q leading position in
the great chain of roads uniting the West
with the East, which is not alone attribut-
able to the superior Accommodations afforded
passengers, the uniform civility of its officers
and agents, the grandeur and sublimity of
the section of country which it trayerses,
but to the great vigilance exercised in the
running of trains and providing against ac-
cidents, 7-
Despite the closest scrutiny and circum-
spection, however, all great and important
tboroughfares are liable 10 accidents. In
the case of the recent accident near Carr's
Rock, no human prescience could have
ayerted the sad catastrophe. For four years
prior to its occurrence not single passenger
was injured on this road and it is generally
admitted that no Line went into the past
winter in better condition, In all respects,
than the Erie but 80 unusually long and
severe was the winter that the iron in some
parts of the read yielded to its rigid severity.
Yet at this time, the Road is In as perfect a
condition as the average of those in the
country. To render it safe beyond ques-
tion, however, the Company is substituting
steel rails as fast ss possible for the defective
iron ones laying a double track on the
Delaware Division, and doing everything to
place the road in the most thorough condi-
ton. The $1,000, 600 which the Company
recently came into the possession of will en-
able all of these improvements to be made
As showing one of the most prominent
achievements already occurred by the work
which is being pushed rapidly forward, we
might mention the fact that the trains at
present experience no detention, but arrive
at New York and the principal Eastern
cities at the same hour as rival lines.
The Erie continues to issue through
tickets to New York at $245 less than any
other route,-a fact which our readers will
do well to bear in mind, when visiting the
East either on business or for pleasure.

INVESTIGATION.

So strong was the suspicion that the
vote Of at least one Senator in the i'm
peachment case was bought by the
President that the House Of Represent
tatives sathoriEed the Managers to- In
vestigate the matter, giving them pow
er to examine witnesses, etc. It is
doubtfal if they viii be able to fasten
on any Senator the guilt of bribery;
men who give and take bribes under
such circumstances have healthy fear
of exposure, and conduct the trsnsac-
ton in thealdark. But the investiga-
ton has brought to light many facts that
prove the corruption Of the President
and his confederates. II is proved that
the Whisky Ring, with any amount Of
money, has been hard at work to pro-
cure his acquittal; thatnotoriously un-
principled wire-workers, loose women,
~ fIHfs d
gold gamblers, contractors thieYing
army claim agents, and brood of such
uuclean birds, have labored night and
day for his acquittal; and that $40, 900
was invested in some mysterious way
by one WooLLEY, an agent of the Pres
ident's friends in the Ring, emily the
day before the vote on the Ilth article,
which Investment probably secured &C.
quittal. This WooLLEY refuses to an
swer certain questions, and has been
put under arrest until lie will He
knows whether that money was used
TO buy Senator Ross vote, but it is not
to be expected that he will tell. The
investigation may develop something
more definite, but we doubt if it will.

TIE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

On the first page Of the JOURNAL we
give report of the proceedings of the
National Republican Convention which
nominated GRANT and CoLFAx. 1t will
be found more interesting than any
miscellaneous reading matter We could
have selected. The delegates were
fresh from thepeople, and the harmony
and enthusiasm manifested in the Con-
vention is reflex of the spirit anima-
ting Republicans everywhere. Their
motto is GRAsT, CoLrAx and VIcroRY!

Mt. Ross is either aa unjustly con-
denied man, or he ID An officer who
has sold his vote for money! He hai
made, in some respects an admirabls
speech in the Senatsin sxplahatios and
defence of his course; bitterly denying
the charge of bribery, and asserting
that his vote was the result of convic-
tons of duty. He talks like an honest
man who has been unjustly assailed
and Republicans who have denounced
him would rejoice at his vindication
but appearances are against him, and
his attempt, in the speech above allud-
ed to, to explain why he so suddenly
changed his mind, is lame and appar-
emily insincere.
