VIII the President be Con.

The Nashville Union and Dispatch
says: The chief subject Of speculation
and tho absorbing topic of political talk
is, and will be for some time, the i'm
peachment of the President and its prob
able result. Everybody wants to know
everybody else's opinion as to whether
Mr.. johnson will be condemned as guilty
of the charges and removed from Office,
and nearly everybody has an opinion on
the matter, or at least that sort of an I'M
preston about it which very frequently
passes for an opinion. Tt is difficult to
foretell at what point the recklessness Of
a faction will stop. Z The one now adomi-
nant PROFESSIONALLY has itsin its power
to proceed to any extremity its leaders
may desire, The impeachment acquired
a. few weeks ago great impetus. If the
delay necessary to give it form had moi
checked its progress, the President to-day
doubtless would be private citizen, dis
qualified from Office. The proceedingha'
now reached another Stage and halted
and at every turn and phase Of the cas-
from tomorrow a-week, it will meet i'm

nedimonta nnd daY by -day lose its mo.

pediments and day by day lose its mo-
mentum. Hence the impaticnce mani
fcsted,by the impeachers. They arc sa-
gacious enough to know that haste and
hot passion are necessary for the censpm-
nation of such deviltry, and that the
longer the matter is left open, the more
frivolous and untenable the charges will
appear to sober reason and the popular
sense of Justice, and that Insufficient time
elapses the rank infamy will smell to hea-
ven and so stink in the nostrils of the peo-
pie that it. cannot be accomplished. m't
Il We have, had an opinion that the PresT
dent will, not be convicted, and the same
opinion is stated and enforced in anarticle
of great clearness and strength in the New
York World of the IL til inst. Its too
lengthy for reproduction in these columns,
but is founded, first, on the fact that he
capnot'be proved guilty. secondly, that
i the Senate knows he ls-not gplity t mi
lily, thatthe majority Of the 1R 9d ie ele Gle
ment in that body have always manifested
greater moderation than the madmep Of
Z the lower House, fourthlg, that in spite Of
the effort to hurry it forward il, will be
slowly disposed of; filthy, that it will
wear itself out before decision can be
had and si&thly, that many of the Rad adi
cal leaders already perceive that to con
Wet and depose will be as damaging as t
acquit, and finding the thing is very ia
tiguing to hold and very dangerous to le
loose, viii procrastinate and permit it t.

Ou1. Nrnrcl, s.Elections."

What was dignifed on Saturday with
the name of an election has proved mere
cheat and farce. We should be obliged
to King Brownlow, remarks the Memphis
Ledger, if he would appoint our officers,
without putting us to so much expense
and trouble about it. 1t would be more
Respectable to do the thing by this simple
fat, than to use the blacks as instruments,
wasting their time and demoraliziug them
by false oathg, and teaching them tricks
and frauds. It was very easy to carry a
pretended election by shutting off white
voters from the polls, registering negroes
from adjoining States and counties, gain
ing their solid support by lying them into
enmity to the white population, and en-
.couraging them to stuff the ballot-boxes
with fraudulent votes, and trample down
tho freedom of elections. But the moral
ityo the transaction is another matter.
And the evil Of it, as to the blacks, will
extend itself far into the future. Far bet
ter it would be if 'Brownlow would MAIN
tain the exclusive monopoly of playing the
devil, so as not to drag the poor ignorant
blacks down tohis own moral leyek,
The Memphis apalanehe remarks:
The election in this city on Saturday last;
has an interest for others besides the peo-
pie of Shelby county. 1t should attract
the attention of good men throughout the
State-nay, throughout the land. 1t de-
clares thefact that fifteen thousand igno.
rant, thieving' lazy negroes cast twice as
many votes as forty-fye thousand edu'
Gated honest whites. 1t shows that Q
comfy which pays iuto the State Treasury
nearly one-fourth Of the entire State tax
has passed. into the hands of a set of ad.
venturers and plundering thieves, who
own no property, and represent nothing
but ignorance, vice and corruption.

sion of certain officials here, and upon the
suggestion of Mr.. Stanton and others, who
apprcheud some mysterious combination of
Mosby's satalites and other ex-rebcls to at
tack and take possession of the capitol, an
additional military force has been ordered
here, and for three days past have been
sleeping on their arms"
-Four artillery companies are among the
recent acquisitions to the troops stationed
here. All this military movement seems
