The impeachment.

The American people have great canse
70 rejoice over the present aspect OF I'M
p4achment. The nations heart will
rwell with gratitude for the seven honest
Republican Senators, FessenGsn. Fow-
Ter, Grimes, Ross, Trumbull, Henderson,
snd Van Wrinkle, who raised themselves
above their party vengeance, aud voted,

for the Presidents acquital on the llth
article. We had scarcely hope of be-
ing able 10 record so favorable result,
and now can scarcely indulge prophecy
"a to the action Of the Court on the 10Th
inst, though the prospects of acquittal
now areceally fair, but We regard by no
means certain.
The workings Of the Chicago Conven-
--tion-of which ws-a are not at this time
aiyised--will do much to determine the
result on the remaining articles of inn
peachmozt We incline to the opinion
that if the Rsdical majority are not GER
tain of conviction on the goth, that the
Court will adjourn from time to time,
holding impeachment, in terrorem, over
the Presidents head. The idea is enter
tanned by many that to insure conviction

then this idea is impossible. A majority
may admit the States, but under the cir.
eumstances the President would certain

would prevent its being passed over hi:

to push matters yet further, as Is seen II
the appointment of committee to in
yestigate charges against the Senators

hope to manufacture evidence. cause thei
expulsion from the Senate, and elect new
members in their stead who favor con

supposing all attempts at bribery sn'
corruption to fail, is 10 bring IN tn
Southern Senator's, to get up new article
of impeachment. commence a fresh trial
and submit the question to the vote

The City Council has made an sppro-
priation for the purpose Of buiidipg
new ferce around our City Cemetery
and appointed Mr. w. A. Bresard, q
committee to supervise ihe same. All
our hearts feel proud at this action OF
our City Faaers The neglected and
desolate coMition of the holy ground
where sleep our loved ones brings to our
heart a sorrow which hath no language
\ a holy sadness which doth even dwell
ON the brink of tears y and, while our
memory hangs like soft benediction
over the sleeping dead, We call to mind
the virtues and characteristics g..hose
whom We knew in life-the brighyAopes
and high ambitions which moved them
while with us--and We feel deeply the
solemn debt which we owe our fellows
who have passed over the river and
now "rest under the shade of the trees. "
With the exception of the care and
love- Of private parties our graveyard
has been nearly entirely neglected, aud
the neglect has reflected painfully upon
the good feelings of our community.

Peace Onering.

The telegraph reports that ail the
members of the Cabinet have signihed
to the President their willingness to re-
sign, and that there is probability that
reorganization of the Cabinet will take
place. 1t is also iutimated that the Presi-
dent, in the event of acquittal, will ac-
cept the Congressional plan of recon
struetion. The reorganization OF the
Cabinet and the acceptance of the recon-
struction plan Of Congress is said to be
peace Offering to Congress, aud espeei-
ally to those members of the Republican
party who have opposed impeachment.
In this connection, the Washington cor
respondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette re-
fers as follows to statement of Senator
Henderson to the Missouri delegation al
au interview they had with him
He gave it as his opinion that the
failure Of Impeachment would not injurC

How the Trial Of the President

which our political struggle is regarded

It Is impossible to over-estimate the
interest with which the ifnIe chment

scraps of information doled out to the
public by teIegrams are perused with in
tense curiosity, aud now We are daily ex-
pecting to learn the result of this great
historical prosecution. l express the

ed with profound JOY and would quad
ruple the admiration entertained for the
American republic, and that his c0nyic-
ton would be considered a triumph Of
ignoble partisan persecution over an ia
nocent and well meaning man. Nothing
could do more to sire engthen the monar
chial system and to weaken the popular
impulses towards republicanism than the
Presidents removal from Office nothing
could so inspirit the popular leaders and
excite the enthusiasm Of the English
masses as the spectacle of the Senate Of

prejudices aud passions, and aequitting
the President upon the evidence, even
against the schemes and interests of party
managers. l trust that the telegraph
may soon bring us news of the acquittal,
