"Placc a small quantity Of coal oil

enough to reach the temperature of,

safe, the match will be exiinguished

Of surface that always constitutes an acre, SO

a crop OF eranberries, or hops, to the value
of more than Thousand dollars, has been
realized in n single season. Forty tons OF
roots have been harvested from single acre.
Apples and pears have been harvested by the
hundred barrels, and crop of something
else besides one acre. We deem 1t Of more
importance to young mechanic to secure an
acre Of land than a wife, horse or a watch.

smaller villages, where an acre Of land can

GREAT SPEECH
OF
HON. THADDEUS STEVENS,

ON THE
IMPEACHMENT OF THE TRAITOR JOHNSON
The following is tho speech of Hon.
Thaddeus Stevens, of Rennsylvania,
in tho House of Representatives, Mon
day, on the impeachment resolution :
Mr.. Stevens of Pennsylvania, closed
the debate. He said l agree with
the gentlemen who have been before.
This is a grave subject and should be
gravely treated, and it is important to
high official, who is the subject OF
these charges ; and it is important to
a nation of forty millions Of people
now free and rapidly increasing to
hundreds of millions. The official
character Of tho chief of this grand
nation being thus involved, the charge,
If falsely made, is cruel wrong. If,
on the other hand, the misdemeanor
and usurpations charged against him
are true, he is guilty of as atfocious
attempt to usurp the liberty and de-
stroy the happiness of this nation as
was ever perbetfated by the most de-
testable tyrant who ever ruled his tel
low men. r
Let ds, therefors, discuss this ques-
ton in no partisan spirit, but with le-
gal accuracy and impartial justice.
The people desire no victim, and they
will endure no usurpers. The charges,
so far as | shall discuss them, are few
and distinct. Andrew johnson is
charged with attempting to usurp the
powers of other branches Of tho gov.
ernment; with attempting to obstrdct
and resist the execution Of the law
with misprison Of bribery and in the
open violation Of laws which declare
his acts as misdemeanor, and sub
iect him to 6ne and imprisonment
with removing from office the Secre
tary Of War during the session OF the
Senate, without the ndvics or consent
Of the Seahte, aud n violation of the
sixth section Of the act entitled an acI

offices. There are other offenses char
ged IN the papers referred TO the com
mittee, which l may consider more by
themselves.

INAUGURATION OF THE BENTON
STATUE. At ST. Louis

ST. LOUIS, May 27-The Inauguration of
Miss h0smer's statue Of Benton took place to-
day, in the presence OF a large concourse OF
strangers and citizens. This work is a tribute
OF respect from the State Of Missouri to her
great Senator. 1t is Of bronze, colossal in size,
ana is on a pedestal OF Quincy granite. The
effect Of the figure is grand and simple. The
cloak, which covers q modern dress, is rich and
broad. and hangs in graceful folds The like
ness Is pronounced to be good, by many frirnds
and admirers of Col. Benton. The position of
the hands, holding an unrolled map, is easy
and natural. As a work of art, its success was
decided. A salute of thirty guns was fired
one for each year COLI Benton served In the
Senate. f .--
The unveiling of the statue was performed
ey Mrs Jessie Benton Fremont a daughter of
Col. Benton. The inaugural address, delivered
by Gen. Frank p. Blair, was Justly. .merited
euloglum upon the life and. services of the
nlustriOus dead. 1t is perhaps the ablest effort
OF his life. Gen. blair dwelt at considerable
length upon the great fayorite idea Of Colonel
Bentons Pacific railroad, by which he hoped

said 1t Is part of the secret history Of those
times, but capable OF clear and unQuestionable
proof that the campaign against Mexico which
achieved such great results and refected such
lustre upon our arms, originated and was
planned even in detail by Col Benton.
A number Of gentlemen, distinguished both
in civil and military life, including Gen. Ere.
mont, and number of Gen. Sherman's staff.
were present. Probably from fifteen 70 twenty
thousand persons were at the Park during the
afternoon. among them two or three thousand
school children, the students of the Washing.

AMERICAN HOME BAPTIST 4

GETTY AT the session of the BaptIst Home
missionary Society in New York yesterday,
Dr. Iurnbull, of Connecticut, read commu-
nieation from the committee appointed to con-
slider the report OF the Northern delegates to
the late Southern Convention at Baltimore.
i ne committee commended the fraternal spirit
exhibited by the Southern Baptists, but avoided
considering the clam they made that they
thought themselves right in advocating slavery
snd joining III the rebellion. Rev. Mr. Bright,
editor OF the Examiner, found fault with the
assertions OF Southern delegates, that they
We're right in advocating slavery and the rebel-
lion ii created
Rev. George W. Samson, of Washington,
urged peace and unity.
Dr. Monley, ,.of South Carolina. said brother
had observed last evening that If the Southern
Delegates would speak At home as they had
here they could safely be trusted with Southern
missionary work. He assured those present
that tn, y would do so:but he could not sanet ton
raising negroes to the full duties aud privileges
OF Citizenship. The North might force this
meas ure on the South, but he felt It would lead
to the abandonment of their homes by the
white Inhabitants.
The report of the committee on Southern
delegations was then adopted.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The ease in the New York money market in
ereases. The supply OF funds keeps ahead Of
the demand. and the rate Of interest gradually
weakens. Five per cent is now the highest
rate, and a considerable amount is loaned at 4
per cent The eject of this growing ease in the
loan market is 10 stm piate speculation in every
class of securities. Governments Is are still in
very active demand, and although many pri-
vate holders are taking the opportunity for rea-
Using, yet prices continue to advance. Seven
thirties are now held at 100, the advance in
sixty-seveEs naturally carrying them up. The
rise of hve-twenties at London to ~ upon
higher quotations for gold on this side has made
the exportable bonds generally frmer. The ad-
vance in prices is naturally drawing a certain
amount of securities from the country, but the
supply Is readily taken, and to a large extent
by banks and foreign bankers.
