Impeachment-Wade's Cabinet-Sumner and
the English Mission.

WASHINGTON, march Is, 1908.
Although the Senate Is sworn specially and SOL
EMMY TO sit as court on the trial OF impeachment,
and is therefore supposed at least to be free from
prejudice committal still 1t is notorious that many
members Of that body have not only expressed
opinions on the subject, but have taken partisan
and open part In urging the proceedings adopted by
the House. This is the sort Of justice which they pro-
pose to administer to the President. so far as this
faction Is concerned he is already condemned.
Neither the law nor the testimony the constiu-
on will exert the least influence such revolution
lists. They aim at absolute power, and viii stop ut
no means by which 1t may be obtained.
Various caucuses have been held at the private
houses OF radical Senator's In order to make up
cabinet for Mr.. Wade, who Is expected to enter the
White House by snap judgment Of the Jacobins.
Here Is their present programme
Secetdyvo or Stdte-Henry Wilson, Of Massachusetts,,
Secretary or Treasurv-Zachariah Chandler, OF
Michigan.
srcetary q Intsrtor.wlIlIam D. Kelley, of Penn
Secretary or War-E. M. stanton.
Secretary or Nacv-Charles ID. Drake, OF Missouri.
Postmaster Generdi-John i. Farnsw0rth, Of IL
Attorney Genern,-George F. Edmunds, OF Yer
mont, or Matt Carpenter, OF Iowa.
Stanton Is the master spirit Of this whole arrange
ment, with the aid Of Chandler, Howard and such
like who claim to be the keepers ofwade and Grant.
An effort was made for Greeley by Conklins and the
small fry but 1t was dismissed with little ceremony.
New York Is counted out as already lost to the
radicals.
Sumner is working hard for the English mission,
az he did under Mr.. Lincoln, but his own party
friends, who know him best, are those who despse
him most. There is no man who toadies foreigners,
and especially English, he does, TO the great dis
gust OF all genuine Americans. lie would sacrifice

Il m HoHrsrf--Ws do not intend 10
enter upon the question OF ethics, but
wish 10 put the question pointedly: IL
that man honest who will do nothing,
give nothing, nor add nothing 70 the
public improvements from which he sx-
poets 10 reap pecuniary beuedtsf For
Instance, the erection OF public school
houses and churches, the building Of the
street railroads right beside the mans
real estate, advancing the value Of
that properly, which advance he
pockets, and yet the selfish belne re-
fuses 10 give dime or lend hand
toward that, on account Of which he
raises the price of his property or In
creases his rents. he receives some
thing for nothing. He permits other
men 10 make improvements, to lay out
their means aud time, and the rich
loafers and the wealthy sponges on and
fattens from the labor and expenditure
Of others. There are many such
men in this community. They are
all around us. They own lots
along the line OF our street rail
roads, for the erection Of which they
refuse 10 give ulnt. iuol oWu totuts
lots, whose price they have advanced IN
consequences of railroad enterprises, for
which they have not subscribed dollar.
These men chuckle over the greenness Of
enterprising merchants and mechanics in
their sacrifices to build up Memphis,
while they expect TO reap the
benefits. We ask again; Are such
men honest2 Is receiving something
for nothing honest2 We answer, no--a
thousand times no. And if black lists
were to be published, as have been done,
in regard to mems political actions, s@
would favor b:.cs lis.-ee Tie narrow
souled hsrpies that get rich from the
blood and sweat OF the community in
the struggles in which they take no part
Let such men be marked Let them be
abhorredl Let them be despisedl They
are an incubus on the city-a nightmare
on ito repose. They are blotchss on its
cheek; blisters on its tongue; catarscts
on its eye cancers in its stomach. From
all such, good Lord, deliver us.

THE NEw MEMPHIS THEATER.-The
lovers of the drama have scarcely shown
40 high an appreciation for any play as

feel proud Of the compliment to bis
genius and ability by the crowded houses
that have assembled each evening OF It's
presentation to the Memphis public.
Last night closed the exhibition OF this
play, that the anxious public may have
an opportunity of hearing the favorite
opera Of Martha, that every one has
been looking forward to with so much
interest Cor the past week. Memphis has
always shown q high appreciation OF
the opera, and from the number Of tickets
sold already, there will be little Foom to
snare at the New Memphis tonight; so
persons who have not yet secured seats
had better 90 early TO the Office, or q

signed each for standing room. The
known reputation Of the opera Martha is
40 well understood by every one in this
country that il requires no word Of praise
from our pen to exslt it in the minds Of
The lovers of song. We have no other
idea but every one will be highly pleased

Ignorance of the law excuseth no man is

that to be in plain violation of the

and warned of the future consequences of
being guilty of like offense.

way he ran would have been creditsble
to race horse; but in his track lay an
ak, which he seized, and turned
on bis pursuer, who in turn took
the back track and the race was run over
again, the parties beisg reversed, but ia
their mad career they we're overtaken by
an officer of the police, who demanded
their immediate surrender, and the thing
was done quietly, without the shedding OF
one drop of blood. The parties we're
