GEN. SIBERIAN.

The hero Of the "march to the sea, 1"
appeared, the other day, before the
High Court OF Impeachment" as a
witness for President Johnson. Boz
tied Butler made furious opposition to
the admission of his testimony and for
a while succeeded in excluding it. He
knew how crushing ii would be to the
cease" of the Managers. and ranted
and rOared when the Senate finally de-
cided to admit it, which they did by
a small majority. Gen. Sherman testi-
fed that the President offered him the
War Department, and that when he
sherman suggested that Stanton
might refuse to leave the office, the
President, 50 far from contemplating
the use Of force, replied that he knew
Stanton 10 be a c0WdTd and that he
would not resist. Gen. Sherman, also,
testified that the President declared to
him, that the affairs of the War De-
partment could not be administered in
| the interests of the army and the cOun-
try, so long as Stanton continued at its
/ head, and that his only desire in get

even the Legislature of last year, and
everybody knows that was bad enough.
The Pittsburg (0nmejci0, IA Radical
paper, thus speaks Of this legislative
nuisance:

1t was some time ago in the
session that the public began to feel
in regard to the acts proposed and
passed-or pretended to be passed and
the proceedings in general, very much
as community sometimes comes to

! lence, after the first terror has worn off,
| When the pestilence has ceased, in the

HIGH COURT OF IMPEACHMENT.

Mr.. Conness' motion, that hereafter
the Court shall open at eleven O'Clock,
was agreed to. Mr.. Ferry then moved
that the Senate, by vote, order the
omission from the record of the trial
OF the tabular statements which appear
in the Globe as part of Mr.. Buffers
speech of yesterday, the same not hav-
ing been read or put in evidence. Mr..
Butler attempted to explain, but the
explanation amounted to but little,
and the motion was adopted without
division. William w. Armstrong.
editor of the Cleveland Pldndealer,
was called by the defense, and testified
in regard to the Presidents speech at
Cleveland. Barton Abel, Collector of
Internal Revenue at st. Louis, George
Knapp, one of the proprietors of the ST.
Louis Republican, and George S. Zider,
shorthand reporter, were called in
succession, and examined concerning
the Presidents St. Louis speech. The
reporter testified to having compared
the reports as published in the St Louis
Republican and st. Louis Democrat,
and made memoranda Of about sixty
differences. Mr.. Curtis next offered in
evidence the commission of George
Washington, as General of the Army,
issued by President John Adams, to
show the form of commission issued at
that time. Frederick W. Seward was
sWOl n, and detailed the manner of APP
pointing cOnsuls, and filling vacancies
in case of death or removal. Secretary
WelleS was examined, and testified
that his attention having been called
to the movement Of troops in General
EmOry's district, he spoke to the Pres
dent about the matter, and in conse-
quence the President said that he
would send for General Emory and
ask ali explanation. He was next asked
to give q conversation which he had
held with the President concerning
Stanton's removal. Mr.. Butler object
ed. Pending the decision the Court
took recess of fifteen minutes. After
the recess, the question was argued,
and finally admitted-yeas 26, nays %.
The witness then gave the conversa-
tion at a Cabinet meeting on February
q, when the removal of Mr.. Stanton
was announced by the President. He
was next examined in reference to the
proceedings ofa Cabinet meeting held
shortly after the passage of the tenure
: of-0ffice act, in which meeting the veto
of the bill was decided upon. After a
few questions, Mr.. Butler, as usual, OBJ
jected, and the remainder Of the session
was occupied in debate. Without
action, at the request of the managers
the Court adjourned.

Not only should every Democrat
have his county newspaper, during the
coming campaign, but he should like
wise make il point to furnish his Re-
publican neighbor q copy. This is
the plan upon which our opponents
have acted for years, and it is about
time that Democrats do something of
the same sort. NOW, GO TO WORK
and put yom Democratic newspaper into
the hands Of ereJy Republican Cho ,ciW
read. If you will do this you will
accomplish more good in six months
than you will by any other means in
six years. Democratic politicians,
throughout the county, are enabled, by
the above low terms, to circulate Dem
Ocratic newspapers at very small
cost. We appeal to them to see TO get
ting up clubs. and TO see to it in time.
N0,U is the time to SOW the seed. At
ter little while the heat of passion
and prejudice will beam upon the pub

and then seed-time will have passed.

THE FLAG INSELTED.

Our readers, doubtless, remember
that, some months ago, it was announ-
ced that SERGEANT BATES, of Wis
cOnsin, in order to test the feelings of
the people of the South, would under
take to carry the Stars and Stripes, in a
tour on foot, from Vicksburg to Wash
ington. \ Radical neighbOr of his
agreed to pay a dollar per day to his
family for every day he was absent in
the performance of his trip. The gal
liant Sergeant proceeded to Vicksburg,
and with his flag unfurled, started on
his journey. He passed through cities
and towns, through swamp and forest,
through brake and wilderness, all
alone, unarmed, and dependent upon
the charity of the people for his daily
bread. Every where he was received
with the most joyful demonstrations.
He was crowned with garlands, his
flag was wreathed with flowers, and
his very pathway sOftened with floral
offerings. The generous heart of the
South Ieaped out to meet him and give
him welcome. Here was the Flag of
the Union, borne 10y one who had
fought against the Southern people;
here was the eiInpersOnation of the vic
tory of the North; was there single
hand raised to lower that flag so proudly
floating was there a single word spOk-
Ell to insult the noble standard-bearer?
Not One But wherever the Soldier of
the Union went with his flag, his line
of march was made the scene of
an ovation. Strong men wept for JOY
as they beheld this pledge of Northern
confidence in Southern honor; the
matrOns blessed God for this token of
renewed friendship between a dissev-
cred people, and the very schoolgirls
left their studies to deck the flag with
Southern roses and to streW the path
ofhim who bore it, with Southern lilies.
In this triumphal way, Sergeant Bates
at last reached Washington. 1t was
given out that on the day of his arrival
he would place the flag upon the dome
of the Capitol. Accordingly, escorted
by large concourse Of citizens, he pro-
ceeded to the Capitol gate. But here
his Journey e1ided! Here he w0S met 6y
tie hired HesSjdts0f the Rtnap Congress,
acho forbade his entrance! The Soldier
OF the Union, bearing the Flag Of his
Country, was refused admission to the
Federal Capitol, and he was compelled
to fall back upon the Washington Mon
ument and unfurl his banner from that
neglected and unfinished pile! So, too,
some day, must the American people
fall back upon the principles of Wash
ington, and unfurl their flag from the
neglected and de5piSed fabric Of the
Constitution.
