Senate.


TUESDAY, March l0.-Prayer by the
Rev. Mr.. Huntington.
The Senate resolution authorizing the
Governor TO offer a reward of $3.50 for the
arrest Of several outlaws.
Mr.. Aldridge was in favor of giving the
Governor the power, and spoke at length OF
the crimes which had been perpetrated by
these outlaws.
Mr.. Nelson was opposed to the resolu-
ton, and said that if the people were de-
sirous of maintaining peace and order, they
could do so under their authority as Of
icers. He wished to know what General
Harrington and his soup suckers" were
doing down there if they did not arrest
these men.
The bill was then tabled by vote Of II

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
WASHINGTON, March 7, I868-A care
ful analysis shows that the President will
certainly be deposed. A powerful pressure
is being brought on Senators who have been
holding back, by their Radical friends at
home. Every means will be resorted TO TO
secure the geqnisite number 70 conFiSt Aim
johnson and his friends seek to procras-
tinate the trial in order to defeat the revo-
lutionisis, but they will be checkmated.
Instead Of lengthy examinations of wit
nesses for the defense, the conspirators will
admit the proof, and proceed regardless of
the forms of justice, and with the severity
OF a caucus, to force matters TO a conclusion
at once, believing that the excitement pro-
duced by their action will be over before the
election.
After executing this scheme, the ex-
tremists will carry ont the following pro-
gramme: Repeal the tenure of office bill /;
add a sufficient number of Judges to the
Supreme Court to make it twelve; more
over, to insure judicial decision in favor
Of any law Congress may pass; amend the
constitution, declaring all male citizens of
twenty. .one years and upward, entitled to
suffrage, regardless of color; bring in all
the Southern States; throw out the electo-
raj vote of those States that refuse negro
suffrage revise the civil and diplomatic
service bill, under pretense of illegality ;
cause a thorough examination into the
qualifications of all incumbents, and oust
all who are recreant, and appoint their sue
cessors for life, and thus perpetuate their
power indefinitely

FOLLOWING SUIT.-"Man is an imita-
tive animal" The action Of Congress in
trying to impeach the President for the
"high crime and misdemeanor" of differ
ing from the majority of its members po-
litically, has set an example to other legis-
lative bodies of less degree. A majority
of the Massachusetts, Legislature now talk
of impesching Governor Bullock, because
he has vetoed the law sholishing the State
constabulary. Out in West Virginia the
Legislature are discussing the expediency
of impeaching Judge Hindman, who is
guilty Of the "high crime aud misdemean-
OF" of admitting some attorneys to prac-
tice before him without having taken that
extraordinary oath popularity known as the
"iron clad" To this list must also be add
ed the beloved Board of Aldermen of our
own city, who have adopted resolution,
not exactly impeaching Governor Fenton,
for no construction of their chartered pow
ers would enable them TO. do that, but re-
questing the Legislature to execute that
Job for them-the Governor having perpe-
trated a "high crime aud nisdemeanor' in
not enforcing law relative TO the metrop-
| oils, duly passed at Albany. Should Pres
ident johnson be turned ont Of Office, We
need pot be surprised TO see that summary
and pleasant custom Of seizing the reigns
of power come into fashion all over the
country.-NeV York Journal Of Commerce.

The following extract from letter dated
at Madisonville, Tenn, Feb %, is published
in the Baltimore Sun:
"Our merchants will nearly all be slow
in meeting their notes and bills for few
months; but those who are men of proper
ty will pay. To show you the spirit of the
men of this county (Monroe,) | will say
that, notwithstanding our wants aud iinan-
cial dullness, not a man from this county
has ever gone into bankruptcy under the
law if 1867 and do not believe We have
a merchant here who is noted solvent,
etc, that will be in the list of bsnkrupts.

but are safe"

AT Appleton, Wisconsin, about ten
days ago, at little past midnight, while
snow was falling fast, three bright flashes
were seen at a lev minutes interval, all
within fifteen minutes. The flashes were
like lightning, and were followed by heavy
conclusions that made the windows rattle
and houses jar throughout the city. Next
morning there was found in the snow a
dark substance, visible for miles around.
This, on dissolving the snow, was found to
be fine reddish sand. Those who melted
snow for washing or culinary purposes,
found this sand in such quantities "a made
the water unfit for use. The phenomenon
has not bean eInlained

GRANT AND THE JEWS.

In lifetime. seven years of which
have been prolific of decisive deeds that
the world has learned by heart, Gen.
Grant, a nominee tor the Presidency,
has been arraigned but upon One-per-
secution of the Jews, The opposition
have reeonnoitered the camp; it is
guarded at every avenue of approach
and its position is impregnable. They
search the record of our leader, and with
a name, around which clusters deeds of
patriotic heroism, greatness, and noble
ness of character, equalled by but one
in all Our coantry's annals; an escutch-
con stainless as Washington's; a fame
as brilliant and immortal as ever wreath
ed a hero, or endeared itself to the
memory of grateful people, they find
but one act available for partizan dis-
tortion-Order No. II, Department of
the Mississippi In this an attempt is
made by Democratic papers to stir up
a sectarian religious antagonism to
Grant. Does any one suppose that a
party. whose existence is a record of
holding in the most abject, debasing
slavery whole race of men, forbidding
them religious liberation, or instruction
in the rudiments of education; grinding
out beneath the heel of the master, the
liberty, manhood, and life of four mil
lions OF people. and even denying they
were human beings. cares a fig for a
Jew? We tell you No. The Jews have
votes, Democracy has candidates that
will need them. They would use the
Jews as cats-paws, and curse them af-
forwards for getting seorched. The

TWO KINDS OF ECONOMY.

The telegrRrns state upon authority of
Gen. Schofeld, Secretary of War, that
the amy will be reduced in six months
to 20, ,G67 men, and in twelve months to
17,150 men. This, coming from one
whom Andrew Johnson has appointed
as successor to Edwin n Stanton, and
therefore not open 20 the charge of be-
ing a radical lie, told for electioneering
purposes, is tribute to the administra-
tive ability OF Stanton, the economical
policy of Grant and Congress, and a
stunning refutation of the charge that
the purpose OF the Republican party is
to preserve a sOldier-ridden despotisln in
the Southern Suites. Three years be-
fore the rebellion. the army exceeded,
under democratic administration, H.
600 men. During the war 2,759, ,049 men
Were called INFO service, OF whom 2,656,-
553 were furnished by the various states.
Three years alter the war the number
is again reduced To 1900 men, aud this
reduction is the work of = Republican
administration, with ten states in which,
at the urgent reqaest OF all good citizens,
troops were stationed to pEeveut the out
lawry that in every instance where they
were not present, existed, and to garri-
son posts throughout rapidly Develop
ing million and half square miles of
frontier, and along routes of communi-
cation hitherto unprotected. The num-
Der of troops required to do this has
been rapidly diminished, until at the
commencement of the present fiscal year.
there were $4,000 men in service, whose
expenses to the government were not
greater than the 1900 men under
democratic administration. For this
reduction in expenditures the country is
indebted To Gen. Grant, while to An
drew johnson and his whisky ring, it is
indebted for being swindled out of suf-
6cient money 10 pay the entire current
expenses of the government without a
dollar of direct taxation. Because, how
ever. the latter stands by the principles
that debt honestly incurred should be
as honestly paid, he is styled the bond
holders candidate, and by those who
woulG barter every principle that honor
inculcates for the control of n govern
ment they abandoned or cndeavored to
subvert in its days of danger, and seek
to evade honest payment of their debts,
that they may have the spoils TO divide
among themselves, as the trophies of
their illSgotten victory.

replenished, and the work goes rapidly
forward. This is what the Northern
company is leboring for, and as certainly
as the next Congress convenes, the road
will be subsidized, and the work begun.
The extension of the charter, has no
other significance, than, that Congress
is willing to permit ii to retain it's grant
of land. We cannot but believe the
Democrat is sincere in its views, but also
Lelieve it fearfully in error as TO the best
interests of Montana. The branch road
if built would be comparatively nothing
to US main trunk line everything.
The establishment of the coach post
service from Helena TO Abercombie, the
extension of the charter, the known fa~
vorable feeling in Congress in respect to
it, the surveys now in progress, and the
united voice of the Northwest, all indi-
cate that unless we are recreant to our
selves, the time is near at hand when it
will be undertaken and completed.

absolutely necessary 10 be done. and
the journals of that city are advising
their people TO give aid TO connecting

an outlet to Montana 1T the Sioux City
road and the Missouri river, and has
connected with the Kansas branch of the
Pacific road by way of Kansas City and
