band to his aged wife, who still survives

attended on last Monday by those who
mourn the loss of truly good man.
The View Taken of Impeachment
i'm England.
How Impeachment is looked upon in
England is thus stated by London corre-
spondent of the Ne,o York Herald:
1t is impossible to overestimate the in
terest with which the impeachment trial is
regarded in this country. The scraps of
information doled out to the public by
Reuters kilograms are perused with intense
curiosity, and now we are daily expecting
tolearn the result of this great historical
prosecution. / express the opinion of a
large majority of the English people when
/ state that the acquittal of PresidentJoh
son would be hailed with profound joy and
would ouadruple the admiration entertain-
ec for the American Republic, and that his
conviction would be considered a triumph
of icnoble partisan persecution over an in
nocent and well meaning man. Nothing
could do more to strengthen the monarch
icaI system and to weaken the popular inn
pulses 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
free Republic, rising above ala partisan
prejudices and passions, aud acquitting the
n
the schemes and interests of party mana
gers. TRUST that the telegraph may soon
bring as news of the acquittal, knowing
how grand will be the moral effect In Eu-
rope; but it is useless to disguise the fact
that all Americans abroad, understanding
fully the force Of, political discipline in
their own country, unanimously anticipate
the Presidents conviction.
