SOLDIERS AND SAILORS NATIONAL CoNvEx.
TIoN.-The National Convention of Soldiers
and Sailors, to meet at Chicago on the 10Th
inst, will undoubtedly be the largest repre-
sentative assemblage ever convened in the
United States. According to the call of the
Committee, twenty delegates will be allowed
from each Congressional district in the Union,
which will make an aggregate of four thou
sand members. This body will meet at the
same time, and will undoubtedly co operate
with the National Republican Convention in
nominating Presidential candidate and
framing platform. The candidates who
receive the endorsement of these two repre-.
sentative Conventions can scarcely fail to be
successful before the people, and the Democ
racy already feel that humiliating defeat
awaits them next november.

WEsTMoRELAND THE PEoPLE's CHoIcE.-So
far as we have been able to learn land we
have devoted considerable attention to the
snbject), we are fully satisfied that Hon
Charles Westmoreland is the first choice of
at least two-thirds of the Union voters of this
district for Congressman. In the counties
composing the northern portion of the dis
trict the people demand the nomination of
Westmoreland with unanimous voice, while
we have good reason to believe that his
aspirations meet with the approval and
sympathy of large proportion of the Union
men of the central counties. If nomn ated
he can be depended upon to make an able
and thorough canvass of the district, and
the Union cause needs competent and wide.

Only nominate this man of the peoples choice
and the district will be able to boast of an
able, eloquent and accomplished Representa-
tive in place of the disciple of Petroleum V.
Nasby who now disgraces US at Washington.

RIcH.-The Washington Company, at
French Gulch, are reported to be taking out
surprisingly rich rock at present. Specks
and spanges of pure gold can be seen in the
quartz while the workmen arc handling it,
aud more critical examination shows that
much of the rock contains perfect net work
of gold threads or veins running all through
it. The next clean up will undoubtedly
prove the richest ever made in the county.

Iurracnnryr PnocrEprscs.-on Monday

IMPEACHMENT PRocEEDINGs.-On Monday
the Senate went into session with closed
doors. to deliberate on the facts and evidence
ELECTED during the trial. A number OF Sen
ators spoke upon the question at issue, some
for and others against acquiItal. Senator
Sherman declared that he could not vote for
the first article, although his speech indicated
that he would fnd the President guilty on
the second, fourth and eleventh articles
Stewart took strong ground for conviction on
all the articles, and argued that they had
been sustained by good and sufficient evi-
dence. Grimes, of Iowa, made lengthy
speech. declaring he did not consider the
Secretary of War within the provisions ofthe
| Tenure of Office Law. He considered that
there was no distinction between the power
Of the President to remove during recess and
his power to remove during the session of the
Senate an officer who held solely by his
pleasure. Edmunds, author of the Tenure
of Office Act, made the next speech. He
said the President was clearly guilty under
the first article, and the only question was
whether his acts constituted high crimes and
misdemeanors. He thought the Presidents
course in removing Stanton and appointing
Thomas SO grossly illegal as to constitute a
high crime. He should therefore vote for
conviction under the first article Williams.
of Oregon, spoke next, and said he would vote
for the first, second and eighth asticles-
Howe stated that he would supper. the sec
ond, third and eleventh articles. Pomroy and
Morrill, followed next, indicating that they
would vote for the principa! articles. Hen
drick, Doolittle, Davis, Dixon, johnson and
Buckalew, all Democrats, spoke in opposition
to the articles. Henderson, Trumbull, and
Fessenden spoke at length, taking the ground
that Stansons case did not come within the
provisions of the Tenure of Office Law, be-
cause the term of his appointment expired
with the man who made the appointment
All three declared against the suficiency Of
the articles. Conness, Wilson, Harlan and
Moreton declared for conviction. After dis
cussion, the Court adjourned until Saturday
to day..
The tenor of the dispatches indicate that
the first article cannot be sustained, while
the result is doubtful on the rest of the arti
cles. Great Indignation is expressed against
Trumbull and Fessenden, and the Illinois
and Maine Congressional delegations have
waited on these recreant Senators and de
manded that they vote in accordance with the
expressed wishes of their States or resign.
