Music IN PoLIrrcs.-1t is noticoa-
bic that the singing in the political
campaigns of the last sixteen years
has all oeen on the side Of tho party
laboring for the extension of human
freedom and tho equality of human
rights. - Chicago Post.
Yes, those Radicals are q tuneful
set of singing birds. There souls are
"full Of music" They murder in
metrical measure, aud steal to the
tune of Old Hundred. They sang
"Rally Round the Flag" and '''framp,
Tramp during the war, until the
very air was sick with melody; but
they took precious good care to let
others do the rallying, and tramp
tramping, while they staid at home
and were "loil." Now they sing as
sweetly as turkey buzzards around the
carcass Of dead mule. e.-New Era.

tho latter failed to perform theirs, the
people must give verdict as to the
purity of their action. Thus far, but
few have been informed as TO this ex.
traordinary language of the Chief Jus.
ticc, but it having been communicated
to the managers, your correspondent is
now at liberty to make it public.
FURTHER PROOF OF THE coNsPIRA-
Still another proof is given to show
that there has been conspiracy TO de-.
feat the impeachment. Senator Hen.
derson last night told Mr.. McClurg,
member Of Congress from Missouri, that
he and those other Republicans who
voted to sustain the President had as
surances from Mr.. johnson that if the
impeachment was defeated lie would
reorganize his Cabinet by making Wm
M. Evarts, Secretary of State; Samuel
Hooper, Of Massachusetts,, Secretary Of
the Treasury Reverdy Johnson, At
torney-General, and Gen. Scholield,
Secretary of War.
That this may not be considered as q
nero invention on the part of Mr.. Hen
derson, gotten up for this occasion, fur
ther testimony was elected in support OF
it today, by the Missouri delegation,
from two St. Louis gentlemen now here,
who say that this was communicated to
them eight days ago, by Mr.. Hcnder.
son. in confidence.
Wit, these facts in the possession Of
the Radicals, it occasioned the greatest
excitement here among those informed
Of them.

IMPEACHMENT RUMORs. Among the
rumors last night, it was reported that
the special friends Of Gen. Grant are de-
slrons to have impeachment done with,
OH the theory that to keep it alive only
broods trouble and division in the Radi.
cal camp. This view Of the case does
not suit the vainglorious Stew ems, But.
lers and Williams. MIR. Stevens has
concocted several new articles, and so,
we hear, has Mr.. Manager Williams,
and on this new line they propose to
fight it out all the summer. Mr.. Butler
will not lightly relinquish tho honors OF
his investigation, and will affirm, proba.
bly,, that the key 10 success in tho com.
ing campaign lies not so mach in Mr..
Boutwells "holo in the sky" as in the
key hole on earth. But it the friends OIL
Gen. Grant shall determine that pru.

Treason in the Camp,

The Charleston correspondent of
Forney's Washington Chronicle is very
unhappy about the "disloyalty" prcva-
lent in Charleston, which he indig-
nantly tells us has even contaminated
the army officers stationed there. He
says:
All are not loyal mon that wear the
uniform Of American soldiers even.
Good dinners, champagne suppers
"mock turtle soup" frequent whiskey
treats, are all that IS necessary to
covcr up the allegiance Gftho should
er-strapped pensioners of the republic
Southern air, hospitality, and women
are too frequently disastrous to the
sentiments of devotion which the liv-
cried servants of the nation are sup
posed to bear.
This is shocking but still more
horrible is the discovery which he mar
rates as follows:
The Ku Klux Klan have establish-
cd their "dens," and are meeting on
the ss5th" hour to conjure up their
deyilish work and issue forth their
cabalistic cards of blood. What they
cannot accomplish on the field, in the
forum, by argument or sense, they
propose to achieve by dark deeds of
strategy, stealth and assassination.
Their midnight cabals doom the man
that dares defend his country. The
Grand Tycoon summons the .hellish
horde to the knife, torch and bludgeon,
and death is the verdict of their
"low-twelve" utterings.

A ToUGn CUSTOMER FOR BUTLER

The witness was put under arrest four
times, but as often liberated, the whole
proceedings being conducted with a
mock corum that was quite refreshing
tow .ess The witness rcsolutely per.
sisted in refusing to disclose his private,
affairs, though he very good humorcdly
answered all the questions he possibly
could without quite turning himself n-
side out. Butler. for instance, read a

rious scheme lie had in contemplation
when he penned snch an a,rocious re-

Board of Managers was not to be trlned

a moments glance at the present
situation of the Radical party will serve
to show the contrast between its condi-
ton in 1860 and 1868. Among the
conspicuous members of the Republican
Convention ol 1860 weIc such men as
Francis P. Blair, WIN. NJ. Evarts and
q host of others embodying the talent
and respectablity ofthe Convention a
majority Of whom are now ranked
among the most decided opponent, of
tha Radicals. In the Chicago Conven.
ton Of that year there we're four promi-
uent candidates for the Presidential nom
ination--Lincoin, Seward, Chase and
Bates. The last act Of Linco.n's life
was to originate and adopt tho policy of
Johnson. Bates abandoned the pres.
ent Radical organization before Lincoln
died ; Seward is an active enemy Of
Radcalism, and if there is one man in
the United States w&om the Radicals of
to-day hate more bitterly than Andrew
johnson, that man is Salmon p. Chrse.
Then Chase, and Trumbull and Fessen.
den, and Grimes, and Doolittle and Dix.
on. and Stanberry and host OF other
great names were in the ranks of the
Republicans. Now, they are either
acting openly with the Democracy, or
are read out Of the Radical party by the
hot heads who control 1t. Nor is this
all that is noticeable. While the states.
men ofthe Republican party have aban-
doned radicalism, the vicious and
treacherous elements of the Democratic
party have entered it's fold. The party
which became too corrupt for Chase and
Doolittle, Bates and Evarts, has demon.
stratedts affinity for Butler and Logan,
Stanton and Dan Sickles. The leaders
of the Radical party to day-the men
who have Grant in their keeping were
clamorous for secession in 1860, and
justified the Southern States in resorting
to arms to repel the exercise of Federal
power. Now. Butler, Logan, Stanton
and Dan Sickles are blatant Radical
demagogues, and are accorded the high.
est positions of honour in the party that
so recently desplsed them. They take
take the places once occupied by Sew
ard, Chase, Trumbull, Stanberry and
others like them.

We find The following special dispatch
from Washington in the Chicago Re.
publican Saturday. What gives it
special significance is tho fact that il
was telegraphcd from here on Friday
night, and published before tho meeting
Of the court on Saturday. Yet the de-
feat OF impeachment ls foretold, and the
names Of five out Of the seven Repubi.
can Senators who voted for acquittal are
given as Mr.. Chases conlederatee. Mr..
Bundy who is named as the auth ority
for the mair statement, is gentleman
whose statements are entitled to the
credit:
fHE PLOT TO DEFEAT THE IMPEACHMENT
STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS
There have been startling develop
ments here to day. which show conclu.
sively that there has been regular
conspiracy on the part cf Chief Justice
Chase and renegade Republican Sena.
tors to defeat the impeachment and elc.
vate the former to the Presidency, at the
cost Of breaking up the Republican
party.
STATEMENT BY CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE.
Night before last Chief Justice Chase
invited Hon. Fl. S. Bundy. member of
the Thirty Ninth Congress from Ohio,
to call upon him. and stated that he
had some important matters to talk
about. Mr.. Bundy having long shared
the confidence Of the Chief Justice, and
being heretofore his firm supporter and
personal friend, accepted the invita-.
ton.
During the interview Mr.. Chase told
MIR. Bundy that it was his in'erLion to
become candidate for the Presidency,
on the Democratic ticket, and not sue.
cceding in this, he should enter the
,-aiena ns an independent candidate
MseAS$,t Gen. Grant. Of his own sue
cess he said there could be no doubt. -
The impeachment would fail, aud thus
failing wonld divide the Republican
party, and Senators like Trumbull. FEES
sp,,den. Henderson. Grimes and Fowler
wonld be recognized az head of one d.
vision Of the Republican party and
these Eve men. he said, had pledged
themselves, ten days ago, that they
would stand bv aud support him in this
movement. The Chief Justice g,ve
Mr.. Bundy his views in full on this
movement, speaking very confidently MS
TO its success. and predicting the down
fail of Radicaiisn,. as represented by the
advocates of impeachment. e 2 "
HOW THE REVELATION CAME ABOUT.
fThis treason on the pert of tho Chiei
Justice 80 astonished Mr.. Bnndy that
he at once communicated what had been
said to leading Radicals here. The
whole matter hns been kept very qniet
and the conspiracy was 80 apparent that
leading Senators to-day urged upon the
members Of the board Of managers te
take immediate steps in the matter. The
managers, however, sail that they l,at
no power to do so. They had beer
commissioned with duty to perform
and that duty had been done, and thei
cuse was in the hands ofthe Senate.

ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT IN THE
ART OF KILLING. The Prussian mill
tary chemists have succeeded in pro-
cipitating the explosive liquid known
as nitro-gl yccrine, and in reducing it
to solid. The advantage of this
transformation is, that its combusti-
bility is considerably diminished,
while its explosive force remains the
same, and it is thus rendered moro
manageable and fitted for military
purposes. Shells filled with it fred
from guns of moderate calibro, are
said to have smashed tho strongest
cuirass that ever yet protected the
sides of an iron cased ship, and if half
