VIEWS OF GRIEF JUSTICE CHASE AND
PROMINENT RkPUBLICANs.-Thus one ru-
NOR has it that Chief Justice Chase has
said that he sees nothing in the Presidents
conduct thus far that can be tortured into
aground for impeachment. Another, that
Mr.. Fessenden openly declares that he is
opposed to impeachment, and that the
President has done nothing more than law
aud precedent alike authorize him to do.
Still another, that Trumbull has declared
the Whole business to be q scheme to de-
stoy the Republican party, and that II al
lowed to 60 further it will effectually &C
complish that object. Finally, that
Reyerdy Johnson says he has canvassed
the Senate, and that not even majority,
much less two-thirds, can be procured for
conviction on this impeachment. These
Eamors are sent you simply as rumors !;
tut il may be remarked that such reports
are no. always wholly fabricated. They
Usually spring from some chance express

GENERAL GARTRELL FOR RATIFICATION.
We understand that Hon. L. j. Gartrell,
of this city, will support the new Consti-
tuition of Georgia, and that he will proba-
bly, enter the field and make square,
stand-up fight for ratification under the
reconstruction programme. If we are cor
rectly informed, he will not ally himself
with the fortunes of any particular party
or political organization, but will advocate
reconstruction on the basis of the Con-
gressional plan, and urge his many friends
in Georgia to ratify the Constitution now
being framed by the Convention.
General Gartrell is an able and efficient
speaker, is extensively and favorably
known in this State, and his influence IN
behalf of reconstruction cannot fail to tea
in the approaching campaign.-.Atta''ta

Here are same sharp paragraphs from
the Petersburg Indez: s.1.lt" > sex
We observe that our Conservative ex-
changes are filling their columns with the
old stale talk about the rejection which is
going to take place at the next Presidential
election. Hopeful gentlemen,
"Who never are but always to be blcst."
The secret Of successful revolutions is
audacity. The Radicals have this to per-
lection. In few days the revolution of
the Government will be fact accom-
plished. In the mean time their opponents
can read them lectures on moderation and
threaten them with the future punishment
of rejection. Ofcourse the Radicals shud-
der at the bare mention of that dreadful
word "reiiction "-shudder, and go on.
The dog fight at Washington proves, as
we anticipated, to be but tame affair.
The friends of the respective animals cried
bully for this and bully for that-but the
animals themselves don't hitch. In fact,
the only one who might show fight is efec-
tually muzzled.
We may anticipate no more fun in that
quarter. -

A REMARKABLE DEATH.-A few days
since couple of youths were out in the
neighborhood of the city, practiciDg with
q bow and arrow. One of the boys dis
covered snake, and killed it by shooting
the reptile through and through with his
arrow. Soon afterward one of the boys
placed himself behind tree, and ex-
posing one of his hands, challenged the
other to 'sshoot at the target" The ban
ter was accepted, and, with the same
arrow which had pierced the snake, fred
at the exposed hand and struck it nearly
in the centre, inflicting slight wound. In
few hours the hand and arm Of the lad
began to swell, showing that poison from
the snake had been communicated by
means of the arrow. The youth suffered
intense agony, and after lingering in this
horrible condition for three days, expired.
The boy who lost his life in this playful
and remarkable manner was named Bailey,
and his innocent companion was named
Carroll. Let this sad affair serve as o
warning to youths. Montgomery Mail.

right to take the Tory lead Lord, Chelms-
