Mr.. PARTON, In the Atlantic, tells OF
an old man of education and fortune,
residing in tho city of New York. who
confesses 10 taking "ffty drinks day.
of whisky-ten drinks to bottle, and
five bottles TO gallon. One gallon of
liquor, he says, goes down his old
throat every day of the year. Before
he is fit to eat his breakfast in the
morning, he has to drink twelve
glasses of whisky, or one bottle and
one-ffth. Nevertheless. even this poor
man is able, for some hours of the
morning, TO transact what people OF
property and leisure call business, and
during a part of the evening, to con-
verse in such way as to amuse per-
sons who can look on and see human
being in such bondage, without stop
ping to think what a tragedy 1t is. This
old boy never has to be carried home, I
believe. Ho is one of those most hope
less drunkards who never get drunk
never walIow in the gutter never do
anything to scare or startle them into
an attempt to reform.

TIE DEMOCRATIC OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
AND PENDLEToN CoMPARED.-The Chicago
Times (Democratic), April Is, is pretty out
spoken in reply to the views of some south
cru Democratic editors who favor the noml-
nation of General Hancock in lieu OF Mr..
pcndlcton as the Democratic candidate Tor
the Presidency on the score OF availability.
The Times remarks: We will not say that
General Hancock could not carry the three
Great western States of Ohio, Indiana, and
illinois. but we will say that Mr.. Pendleton
would be stronger by many thousands OF
votes in each than General Hancock or any
other similar candidate. The experiment
was tried some two years ago in Illinois OF
fishing with tender bait, outside of the
Democratic party, for Hypothetical Conser-
yatiyc voters, and failed miscrably. The
sterling democracy, in masses, saw IN the
experiment no affair of theirs, and simply
lid not 90 to the polls on the election day.
Bm, let us assure everybody that when the
same experiment shall be tried again, there
will he great danger of the same result.
The unanimity with which the Democracy
Of the West ask for the nomination OF MIR.
Penllcton is something not common IN
political History and this Democratic
Wnanmity is the strongest possible evidence,
and it ought to he conclusive evidence, OF
his superior popular strength in the West"

JUDGE BLACK WRITES ANOTHER LETTER ON
THE ALTA vELA CONTROVERSIAL is PUB

REACHED THE WHITE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, May 2, ls65.-Judge Black
has published in the New York Herald of
to-day letter purporting to be written to
the President, dated. April 2sth, on the Alta
Vela controversy. No such letter has
reached the White House. Black argues at
great length to. prove the business and legal
right of his clients, but never alludes to his
obligations as counsel to the President in the
impeachment case. Everybody condemns
Blacks conduct in withdrawing from the
defence of the President, and Black there
fore tries to drawthe public attention from
this act by laborious argument upon the
merits of the Alta Vela case.
WONDERFUL. CHANGE AS To THE RESULT OF
IMPEACHMENT.
A wonderful change has taken place in
the past week relative to the result of i'm
parchment. Extreme Radicals now have
doubtsof conviction. Conservatives and
others believe the President will be acquit-
ted. 1t is the general belief now that the
verdict will not be rendered until after the
Chicago Convention. Wade's party want
immediate conviction, that they may get
possession of the patronage and force the
nomination of Wade at Chicago. Wilson,
Colfax, and other candidates, want q post
ponem ent of the verdict till after the meet
ing of the Convention.

WAsHISGToN, May I'm the House to-
day, after returning from Impeachment,
Mr.. Donnelly, Of Minnesota, made 9 per
sonal explanation. He said that Washburne
had written letter TO his Donnelly' con-
stftuents denouncing him, and that that let
ter contained twenty-four falsehoods. DON
nelly proceeded an hour and o half in o
strain of the most bitter invective.
The Speaker called him to order half o
dozen times, but Washburne said ' Let the
party go on" and the House not Directing,
he went on. He had letters read going to
show that Washburne had outrageously
slandered him.
Washburne replied, refterating the truth
of his letter, and adding that he could
make no answer to a man who had been
false to his friends, his party, mis- religion,
and his God.
Pending motion to censure Washburne
for this language, the House adjourned.

DARING ROBBERY ON TRAIN OF CARS
AN EXPRESS MESSENGER Bound AND Plum
DERED.-Ne'o York, May About half
past o'clock this morning, while J. F
Brown, a messenger of the Merchants Union
Express Company, was on his way to this
city, on the express car, on the New York
Central railroad, he was seized by two men,
who bound him hand and foot, then fas-
tened bag over his head, and in this help
less condition he was tied to stove.. The
men then proceeded to take possession OF
the money in his charge, amounting to
sll 900, of which $4,000 was in currency,
and the balance in gold.
AS the train approached New York the
thieves tested the cords, to make sure that
Brown could not get free. They then Sc
creted the money and left. Shortly after
arrival, the car was opened, and Brown
found almost insensible. The case was re-
ported to the general superintendent, and
detectives put to work, but there is no clue
to the robbers yet.
