-"Form serious of enactments
intended effectually to prevent any
future violation of the Constitution by
negro voting"
So writes the Columbus corresPon-
dent of the Dispatch, in relation 70
sundry laws before the Legislature.
If "negro voting" is violation OF
the Constitution" where is the ne
eessity of wasting the time of the
Legislature in further enactments
upon the subject? The Constitution
is certainly of greater authority, upon
the question Of suffrage, than any
enactment of the Legislature, end il
it is a violation of its provisions
for negroes" to vote, surely the
Legislature needs not to waste time
and money upon the subject.
But the truth is, this whole system
of legislation, by our democratic Leg.
islature, is but an acknowledgment
that the Constitution does confer
upon "vislble admixture" persons the
right to vote, and that they propose
to cut off that right by simply 8 leg
islative enactment. If it is s'vio-
lation of the Constitution for these
persons to vote, and Judges of e)ec-
ton receive them, we have plenty oi
statutes upon the books already to
punish both the voters and the
Judges. Why not enforce them, in
stead of spending the time and hard
earnings of the people in making
new laws. But no, they want to
make "bug a-boo" of this thing ei
negro voting, and hence the court is
the last place in the world they de,
sire to see the question taken, well
knowing, if it goes there. the bottom
will be knocked from under them
right speedily. Then they would be
bankrdpted.

WASHINGTON, April 13.

This was the most exciting day
which has thus far marked the trial
of impeachment. The Senate laid
on the table the motion to permit adj
ditional speeches at the close. Gen.
Sherman was again called TO the
stand, and new efforts made to elicit
from him the substance of his conver-
sations with the President, but the
Senate refused to allow the question
to be put. Senator johnson, how
ever caused Mr. Sherman to be re-
called, and himself put a similar
question, which the Senate allowed
the General to answer. His answer
was totally unexpected, and astonish-
ed, most OF all, the Presidents coun.
sci, for it made verystrongly against
their client. They endeavored to
eross-question him, but strenuous op-
position was made, and the Senate re-
fused to admit it.
Gen. Sherman's testimony was.
briefly, that the President had said to
him that Stanton's relations to him
self snd Cabinet, were such that he
was determined to remove him: that
he desired witness to take the office
and administer it in the interests of
the army and the country; that wit
ness asked if the lawyers could not
make up a case and settle the difficult
ty without involving either him
(Sherman) or other officers of the
army; that subsequently, in second
interview, the President made no al
lusion to using force, except to say
Stanton was cowardly, and it was
useless to consider that view of the
case. Sherman also said that on the
first interview, the President did not
Intimate his intention or desire to
take the matter into the Courts. On
the whole, the defense were greatly
dissatisfied with the testimony OF
Gen. Sherman, and attempted to con-
tinue the examination. In this, how
ever, they were cut short, Reverdy
Johnson, himself taking ground
against them.
The feeling is general to night that
Gen Sherman's testimony, as given,
was of more benefit to the prosecu-
tion than the defense An effort will
be made tomorrow to continue the
attempt on the part of counsel to get
in the Presidents declarations, but as
the votes of the Senate have, through
changes of few Senators, first, from
enc side to the other, and then back
to the first position, been given both
for and against evidence of this kind,
parties tonight are unable to predict
the success which will attend the ef-
forts of counsel to morrow.

WASHINGTON, April IL.

This is acknowledged on all sides to
have been the most important day in
all its bearing upon the impeachment.
The rulings of the Senate on the char
acter of the evidence to be admitted,
rules a great part of the oral testimony
which the defense expected to present,
out of Court. The Managers were sus-
tanned on all essential points made by
them. and counsel were thoroughly dis
eomfted. The first step of counsel in
calling Gen. Thomas to his stand, was,
in it's result, most, unfortunate for the
defense. so far as it relied on Thomas
testimony.
On taking the stand, he desired to
correct several points of yesterdays
evidence, and all of them strong ones
against the President. Upon being
turned over to the Managers for cross
examination, Mr.. Butler proceeded
with him in much milder and more
digniied manner than yesterday, but

led hiTA into entirely contradictory state
ments, and into the most absurd ex-
plantations, until as result of the whole
examination, not only has the cause of
the counsel been seriously damaged by
Thomas, but the cause of the Managers
positively strengthened.
Following Thomas. Gen. Sherman
was called, but after replying to two or
three unimportant questions, when ask
ed if he had any conversation with the
President concerning Stanton's return
to the War Office, Mr. Bingham, on the
part of the Managers, objected to re-
ceiving any declarations of the Presi-
dent made previous to the commission
of the act, for which he was on trial.
Upon this similar question. a lively de-
bate sprung up, participated in by
Bingham, Wilson and Butler, on the
part of the Managers, and Stanbery and
Evarts, of the counsel. On four yeas
and nay votes, the Managers were sus-
tanned, and the question put to Gen.
Sherman ruled cut. Twice Gen. Sher-
man by vote was allowed to answer a
question regarding the offering of the
Office of Secretary of War to him, but
by some vote and after argument, he
was not allowed to give his own replies,
though these, as he said, were in each
case made in writing Upon one of Mr.
Stanbery's questions the Senate was
nearly unanimous against him, includ-
ing johnson, Dixon, Dooittle, Davis,
and in fact, all but four Democrats.
Mr.. Stanbery, toward the last, became
very much confused, and the whole
counsel considerably Disconnected.
Finally, Mr.. Stanbery arose and said
that, under such rulings as the Senate
had made, counsel could not determine
whether they desired to offer any more
questions for Gen. Sherman; and, upon
this, the Senate adjourned.

~ After long contest, the Presi-
dents counsel got in the testimony
of General Sherman, in regard to his
conversation with the President in
regard to the removal of Secretary
Stanton. But they heard more than
they expected or desired. The
President said Stanton was cowardly,
and would not resist, and it was not
worth while to consider the question
of a big fight. He said nothing to
General Sherman about a desire to
get the matter into Court. He was
bound to remove Stanton at all
hazards. The case against the Presi-
dent is gaining strength at every
step. A vote may be reached by
Saturday.-Cin. Gaz. of Monday.

A KERNEL OF WHEAT IN BUsHEL OF
CHAFF.--In this age of humbuggery,
when the wits of one-half the world
are at work to. cheat the other half, it
is refreshing to find an article of gener-
al utility among us that possesses the
merit claimed for it. 1t requires a
knowledge of the higher mathematics
to enumerate the number of worthless
hair preparations that flood our market,
vauAting their superior excellencies
from the showcases of every druggist
Among this mass of rubbish, however.
there is one article that, if the popular
verdict is worth anything, is as far re-
moved from its competitors in the val
liable properties it possesses, as it is in
its enormous demand. OF course we
allude to the popular "Barrett's Vege-
table Hair Restorative" which is so
highly endorsed and recommended by
druggists. Those who have used it
and their name is legion-are unani-
nous in their praise Of its absolute
superiority over all its would-be COM
petitors.-Gin. Times.

Especial Dispatches to the Cincinnati Gazette.

Especial Dispatches to the Cincinnati Gazette. !
WAshINeroN, April 0.
On the opening of the Senate for the
Impeachment trial, this morning, the
Managers examined two witnesses-one
to show that the President had requir-
ed those he appointed to pledge support
to the Executive, and the other to tes-
tify that Mr.. johnson had appointed
him postmaster, and subsequently, re-
moved him, and it is now the intention
of the Managers to show from the re-
cords of the Senate that no reasons
have been rendered to it, or even notice
given of the removal.
Judge Curtis began his opening of
the case on the side of the President at
quarter to one. He had before him
some twenty or thirty pages of loosely
written notes, at which he merely
glanced at intervals. He was provided
with some fifteen books of reference
among them two volumes of the Con-
gressional Globe-to show the opinions
of Senators Sherman and Williams, and
Mr.. Schenck, of the construction put
on the clause of the Civil Tenure bill
relating to Cabinet officers. The Sena-
tors paid very close attention to the
speaker, who went on in very clear
and compact argument, entirely free
from rhetorical display, and delivered
in a somewhat monotonous manner
The argument was on the supposition
that Mr.. johnson had never appointed
Mr.. Stanton Secretary of War, and
seemed to produce very little effect
The most marked points made were
those where the opinion of Senators re-
corded in the Globe were quoted as to
the intent and meaning of the Civil
Tenure act, and where he answered
Buffers statement that in case the
President had been little less defiant,
possibly the House might not have pro-
eeeded to The impeachment. After
speaking an hour and forty minutes,
the Senate took a recess, after which
the Judge resumed, and after forty
minutes, made known his desire that an
adjournment should take place, which
was ordered. The speech is about halt
finished.

Ohio Legislature.

This body is doing SO little that we
have omitted report of its proceed
ings for two or three weeks. And
the little that it is doing, is of such a
shameful character as to forever dis
grace the party in the opinion of all
true, free Americans.
Two measures have been acted up
On the past week which deserve to be
noticed. One is to disfranchise the
inmates of the Soldiers Home at Day
ton-the sick and crippled heroes of
the late war-deprive them of the
right to votel This enactment plain
ly shows the temper and feeling of
the democratic party towards our
poor and mained soldiers. In
their view these men are not fit to
vote-have no more fitness than the
negro Soldiers and negroes are
alike, in this respect, to them--they
don't permit either to vote. We
hope to hear no more about demo-
cratic love for the soldiers-it is all
sin your eye"
The second is of like character
bill of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ap-
plies to different class. 1t is a bill
to prevent students attending our
colleges from voting at any.other
place than at theiE homes, or the
homes Of their parents. This is a
pretty measure to pass such body
as Legislative assembly. 1t is an
acknowledgement that democracy and
education are not. compatible. IF d
young man was absent from home
tending saloon, we suppose it would
be all right for him to vote at his
place of business, but young man
that goes from home to procure an
education must be disfranchised.-
How low has democracy fallen, since
it became the apologist and ally OF
treason and traitors. But let them
go ahead, they are only making a
rope to hang themselves with. 1t
will soon be written Of them-died
by. their own hands.
