In case of removal, death, resigna-

JOhnson's Twelve,

The Democratic press has not yet
ceased to give us virtuous articles in
condemnation of the partisan charac
ter of the impeachment proceedings.
But unfortunately the press aforesaid
has failed to notice on which side of
the house the partisanship has been
displayed. On no question that has
vet arisen in the trial of Johnson,
have the Republican Senators voted
as unit. Each Senator seems to
have voted in accordance with his
own personal convictions OF duty,
uninhuenced by the course pursued
by the majority of the members of
his party. On some of the most i'm
portant points involving the admissa
bility of evidence, the vote, it will be
remembered, was twenty four to
twenty six, and on several questions
the Republican Senators were almost
equally divided.
How is it with the twelve Demo
cratic Senators? They have voted
as unit on every question. If each
DOuuv0T uuu ucvn vnO rrUofucut
son-in- law like Patterson, or the
Presidents son, he could not better
have stuck to the accused through
thick and thin. If all had but one
neck, and Johnson had placed collar
around that neck, he could not have
secured more obedient vassals
They have voted as one man for
every thing that looked towards ac-
quital.
And again, while Senator Patter-
son, Of the Presidents household,
has been continually voting for his
fatherin laws acquital, Senator
Wade has with praiseworthy good
taste and commendable propriety, re.
Trained from taking any part in the
proceedings whatever. In view of
these facts of history it is about time
that the Democratic falsehoods about
a political prosecution and partisan
trial, should cease.-Staie Journal

Impeachment.


This great State trial closed on Wed.
nesday. The closing speech, by Mr..
BINGHAM, was polished and powerful
effort--one that has won unbounded
praise from ALL His peroration was
especially brilliant and eloquent, and
was followed by great applause from
the galleries. The scene is thus de-
scribed by the correspondent of the
Gin. Gazette:
Towards the close of Bingham S
speech, the attention of all present was
riveted on him. He seemed to be in
his best mood, and the audience was
evidently greatly moved by his words.
With the close of his last sentence a
murmer of hearty approval ran over
the assembly, and in one portion of the
gentleman's gallery clapping of hands
began, and the applause of this kind
Immediately became quite marked
The chief justice rose and in very ex-
cited manner raped and called for or
der, and directed the sergeant-at-arms
to clear the galleries. The whole thing
had been involuntary, and was stopped
in moment, but an order for clearing
galleries was persisted in. Policemen
were sent into the ladies' galleries and
among the gentlemen, to clear them
out. After this part of the demonstra-
ton had been made the galleries were
perfectly quiet. 1t was thought the
order would not be insisted on, but
Messrs. Trumbull, Garrett Davis,
Grimes and Reverdy Johnson, insisted,
even going so far as to call Cameron to
order, who moved that the order be
suspended. So policemen went to
work and cleared all but the diplomatic
and reporters galleries; no one in either
ofthese had participated in the applause,
but orders, nevertheless, came up orig
inal from the hiefjustice to clear these
also, thing never done before, SO the
foreigners (among them the British
Minister, and the associated press re-
porters, and all the others were put out
by the capitol police. All circles, both
social and political, are buzzing with
the matter tonight, and the FIVE or six
hundred ladies who we're dispersed by
the police we're greatly disconnected by
the movement, and the occupants of the
diplomatic gallery were especially in
dignant.
The Senate held secret session on
Thursday, and resolved that the final
vote should begin Immediately after
the reading of the Journal ON Tuesday.
As each member has fifteen minutes in
which to give the reasons for his vote,
it may possibly take day or two before
the roll is gone through with, and de-
cision reached. In that case we shall
not be able to give the result until next
week.

Probable AcquittaI Of johnson.

The news by this "wednesday
mornings mail, as well by telegrami
last night, indicate the acauittal o
the President. OF those depended
on for conviction, three-Messrs
Trumbull, Fessenden and Henderson
have already declared against con
viction. These, with Grimes, count
four. 1t requires only three mere to
acouit. Sherman, it is understood,
is certain to vote no on the first ar
ticle. and uncertain on the rest.
This was the state of matters as
developed by the session of the
Senate on Monday. By dispatches
Tuesday night we learn that, instead
of the vote being taken as previously
ordered, the Senate adjourned over
until next Saturday.
The Cincinnati Gazette, in view oi
the Developments of Monday, says
The case against the President was
fully and clearly made out, and We
had hoped that there was sufficient
honesty in the Senate to secure his
removal; but in this the public are
likely to be disappointed. The great
obstruction to reconstruction must
it seems, remain in power. The
Treasury thieves are to have new
lease, and the work of Decentralization
and public robbery is to go on. II
only remains for an indignant and
outraged people to appeal from the
Senate to the ballot box; and in TAX
ing this appeal and retrying the case
at the bar of public opinion, the
Senators who have violated the con-
fidence placed in them by their con-
stituents will not be overlooked.
Andrew johnson will, in any event,
retire from Office without the conf
dence or respect of any party. The
same fate awaits those Senators who
have betrayed their country and their
party. No Senator who voted to re
instate Stanton, and at the same time
voted that the President, in removing
Stanton, had violated the law, can
now honestly vote to acquit him.
The people can not be deceived upon
this point, and they will be governed
in the future by their honest convic-
tions, which the developments of
time will strengthen rather than
diminish.
We have written, it will be observ.
ed, under the impression that the
President will be acquitted. This is
our conclusion, Notwithstanding the
hope expressed by our correspon-
dents of different result. Knowing
the influence that are at work, the
personal jealousies that prevail, aud
the amount Of corruption money that
may be commanded, we are forced to
regard, in the light of yesterdays
proceedings, conviction as improb-
able if not impossible.

ferred to above:

Opening of the Campaign.

Our Union friends will find else
where in our columns this week, the
official call for a convention to nomi-
nate candidate for Congress, to-
gether with the announcement of eur
county committee for a meeting to
select delegates to represent the
Republicans of Gallia county in said
convention.
This, by some, may be considered
too early day for bringing into the
field our Congressional standard
bearer, but we think not. The
present canvass, in our opinion, is
the most important enc the country
has ever had--the issues involved,
and to be decided, are to tell upon
the future peace and quiet of our
country-and it is all needfull that
the people should be well and intelli.
genuy educated In the path OF duty,
so that the result may be for right
and justice. Our district is a close
one, to say the best, and to carry it
for the right requires that the cam
paign should have not only an early
commencement, but that it should be
vigorously and actively prosecuted.
We hope, therefore, that tho Repub
licans of all the counties will &C.
quiesce in the call of the committee,
and GO to work to make the conven-
ton fair and honest exponent OF
the sentiment of the Union men OF
the district.
