Dun citizens were somewhat aston
ished at the appearance of a stranger
in our town, on last Friday Evening,
whose debut was made by his assum-
ing tho position of n political speaker,
unlimited and unexpectedly. lie soon
showed himself TO be q warm demo-
crat ; and, although tho RAIDS insisted
that he was crazy, he delivered, what
all had to admit, n most admirable
speech-showing himself %convcrsant
with the history of our Government,
Its political parties and politicians,
from the foundation up. He spoke
again on Saturday night, from the
Courthouse steps, to q largo and ap'
preciative audience. HIS name, we
learn, is G. A. Fairbanks, and he hail'
from Massachusetts. He says he has

NEWSPAPER SPoNGERs.-AL exchange
makes the following sensible remarks
"There are many people IN the
world who make it a business
to sponge the reading of their county
paper without any expense to them
selves. They are found wherever the
papcr is left-in asaop, office, store or
barber shop, and often borrowing 1t
before the owner has an opportunity
of seeing it. This is done by very
many who are abundantly able. and
whose dutywould seem to be 10 sustain

GRAFTING.-Dr. Regel describes
new method of grating, as practic-
ed byHrTr Frenndlich, one of the
Russian court gardeners, with re.
markable success. Instead of taking
the coins from the previous years
wood, with the buds just beginning
to swell, the still soft growing lateral
shoots are selected " hen from a half
to one and half inches long and
either ark or tongue grated, care
being taken not to draw the licature
TOO tight, as they swell more rapidly
than hard wood coins, Success, lie
says, is certain, if care be taken that
the sap of the stock is in motion at
the time the operation is performed.
He recommends this mode as superior
to all others, especially for hard.
wooded trees, such as quercus, fagus.
&C., which are usually difficult to
propagate from the old ones. New
roses and other plants, which it is
desirable to increase as rapidly as
possible, imay also be advantageous.

THE IMPEACHMENT,

Washington special to the New Orlean
Times of Thursday. furnishes some nteres
ng Information in regard to the iMpeacI-
ment of the President. The trial, our read
ers are aware, will be resumed to day
The follow & is the dispatch referred to-:
There are many points to be made in the
evidence by the Difference not anticipated by
the public, but nevertheless they arise legally
and pertinenty in the trial, and will make
the defence so complete that even where the
case not presented by the impeachers so film
sy and u terly devoid of proof Of guilt
knowledge or criminal intent on the part of
the President, the Senate would be compelled
to render verdict of acquittal.
Judge Curstis will make the argument for
the President on Thursday next, and as now
arranged, the other speeches on the same
side will be made by MessrS. Eyarts and
Stauberry in the orGer here named.
1t is understood that the two remaining
spesehes for the prosecution are to be made
by Messrs Boutwell, and Bingham, the latter
to make the closing argument.
The impeachers unequivocally proclaim to
outsiders that there is no doubt of the con-
YictiOn, and yet it is well known that these
same impeachers are seriously afraid because

upon Its.merits, aud the law and testimony

their response thus far when approached by

Nothing daunted however, the extreme

The story is utterly destitute oftruth

TheMeridian Mercury Of the At

TheMeridian Mercury of the 4th,
SAYS:
A few days age, two Mr., Pededs,
OF kemper county, came to this place
to sell their cotton; on their return
home and about three miles from the
city they halted to camp for the
night, when four negroes with guns,
came suddenly upon them, and with
guns presented demanded their
money. The men gave them one
hundred and sixty dollars. They
took the money and disappeared,
thinking they had got all the men
had, but in this they we're mistaken
for they still had five hundred dol
lars left.

Gold rs. Grecnbacks-A Review
OF the Case

To The Editor Of the Nep York Eapress !:
In regard to the payment of government
bonds there have been two modes proposed,
one to pay both principal and interest in
gold, although it will be forty years before
the principal can be paid by the country
The other is to pay off the bonds in
" greenbacks," extinguishing tHeri at
once
Without expressing any opinion on the
subject. the purpose of this article is SIM
ply to show the comparative cost to the
country of these respective modes.
The interest on. say $4,000, 100000 in
bonds is s12O, 100000 in gold annually /;
at compound, the interest alone would in
twenty-five years amount to 5000 ,000,-
600; in thirty-three years the interest will
have reached fourteen thousand millions
of dollars, and in forty-four years the in
terest alone would have attained the cli-
max Of thirty thousand millions of dollars
in gold. This is the naked truth as to
what the country will have to pay the
bondholders in gold.
Paying off at once in greenbacks, the
bondholders say, would be the most disas-
trous of all modes, because it would occa-
sion so great depreciation of greenbacks
from their superabundance.
Suppose, however, the depreciation
should be niuety-nine per cent, the loss to
all the holders, to the whole country,
would be just two thousand millions OF
greenbacks against loss of thirty-two
thousand millions Of gold by the other pro-
cess.
That we must pay that sum to the bond
holders, if the interest without the princi-
pal shall continue to be paid, is fixed
fact, and presents serious subjec. for
consideration.
OMEGA.

think, my countrymen, we had better
try TO bear the ills we have than fly to 9TH
era we know not of. It is dangerous
precedent. johnson cannot be president
another year. If Stanton was out there
would be no further trouble. There is
no: friend urging him to stay there that
does not look upon him with perfect con-
tempt. He can never have his own self
respect again.
1t is not pretended there is any danger
to the country BY some one else being in
his place. johnson could do nothing if
he wanted to, with such majority in con-
gress against him. There is no such pre-
tense, if the charges against johnson were
true. But [ say he is not guilty of any
high crime or misdemeanor according to
the constitution. [Applause.
BENJAMIN F. WADE.
You know, according to the constitu-
tion, when the president is impeached the
vice president does not sit in the court, be-
cause it is feared his eligibility to the of
fce ofpresident will influence his action.
The constitution excused him from the
senate chamber. And really he has no
vote for he is not a member. The chief
justice is called to preside.
How is it now? Chief justice Chase is
called to the chair, as the presiding officer
OF the senate during the trial and Wade,
who is to be president in case johnson is
deposed, when his name is called, stoops
from his official dignity, and with indecent
haste rushes up to take the oath as a
member of the court which is to make
way for him to succeed to the presidency,
and salary of S25, 900 year. CGroans
and hisses.] 1t is claimed he has a right
to do this.
The spirit of the constitution excludes
him. [ can not believe he will be so
reckless as to sit in that court. If he
does he ought to be spit upon and hissed
by all the civilized world I talk plainly
on this subject, for don't intend to be
misunderstood. Applause
But believe there are senators who will
not be willing to put their names on the
roll of infamy by impeaching the prssi-
dent. They will not be willing for their
children to read in history that their faith
ers, senators of the United States, sitting
as court of impeachment, convicted
president on mere political grounds, just
tor the sake of controlling few Offices and
little money.
But my friends say, "Ah, Cary, you are
hopelessly lost-gone over to the demo-
Gratis !" l stand, my countrymen, where 1
have always stood, upon the side of the
right, as an independent man, and there
intend to stand as long as I live.
