The IrnDeachment.
WASHINGTON, March G.


Another stare in the impeachment of
Andrew .loinsen for lieh crimes mas been
reac he'd. and IN one week from to-day he
will have to appear before the bar Of the
Senate 10 answer TO Tie charges preferred
aqain st him. Every one. except a few of
tifeholtiefs and place brokers. appear glad
that the doubts and fears whicl. have been
gathered about the trial daring the past
Two DAYS have been removed, and that the
Senate will try the great criminal under
the rule which is framed for that purpose
after careful deliberation. Until those
rules had been adopted by the Senate i'll
its judicial capacity, they were not of
course, binding, and a decision of the
Chief Justice to that effect was sustained
by vote of a to 20. Senators Anthony,
Coibett. FesScnden. Fowler, Frelinghuy-
sen. Grimes. Henderson, morrill, of Maine
Poineroy. Ross, Shermal. Sprague, Van
Winkle. Wiley and Williams voted with
the Democrats to sustain the DECISION. and
il is understood that had Senators Trum-
bull. Howe and Edmunds been in their
seats they would have voted the same way.
Entswlen the Chief Justice, after having
expressed his OF Union that the rules adop-
red were not rules to govern the Court,
they having been framed when the Senate
was legislative body. asked the Senators
to act upon them, every one OF The above
named Republicans voted aye. This set
tied a mitch disputed question. and it can
not be doubted that the Chief Justice will
gracefully acquiesce. The Senators have
the right to frame their own rules, and
they have exercised that right.
The Democratic leaders do not appear to
care what the fate of Mr.. johnson may be.
He consulted with The Blairs. Secretary
Wells ans, few of the Republicans who
..sv ung arouud the circle with him.
when he undertook To male Gen. Thomas
Secretary of War. bit he Ignored the ST.
moi, Pure Democrats. When he is busted
from the White House they Will drop him
without ceremony.
The summons to the President was made
out this afternoon and laid before the
Chief Justice for his signature this evening.
The sergeant-at Arms has not yet deter
mined when lie will serve it, though the
probabilities are that lie viii do so to-mor-
row. 1t is generally believed that Mr..
johnson will not appear in person OH Fri
day next. but only by counsel and to ask
for time to prepare his defence. How
much time will be granted him it is w oily
impossible at present to predict. Some
persons think lie ought to have two oy
three weeks. while others say that one
week besides the time prior to the return
of the summons will be entirely sufficient
The impeacllmcnt managers also think he
ought not to have over week.

WORTHY OF PRAIsE.-Miss Martha Jcl.

WORTHY OF PRAIsE.-Miss Martha Jel-
lison of this village, has taught school for
fifty seven years. This winter she has a
school which has four young men from
fifteen to nineteen years old, and eleven
boys from fourteen down to five years.
The young men have enjoyed but few adj
vantages ofour schools aud therefore had
to commence with the elementary branch
es, but their progress has been truly Won
derful, rejecting the highest credit on both
scholars and teacher. During the term.
these scholars have oheyed all the rules of
the school, without hesitation. We are
sorry to add that Miss Jellison has not been
able to meet her current expenses, with
her receipts for tuition. One who spends
her time in teaching a class of scholars
that seem to be, for any cause. shut out
from the public schools, should receive
good pay.

Temperance Meeting =.

A public temperance meeting was held
in Writings HALL last Sabbath evening.
Rev. w. II. Savary was chairman. Mr..
Cole was the first speaker. lie thought
each one should work in his own way, as
long as there are various ways TO promote
tie enterprise. He was for making the
vote tell. lie would not be bound by par
ties nor by cauc,,ses. lie also wanted an
other law, one that would punish severely,
even extending to hemp, those who sold
poisonous LIQUORS. lie thought society in
Ellsworth needed thorough overha,ling,
fact which is patent to every thoughtful
person.
Rev. DR.. Tenney made some very sensi-
BILE remarks. He thought if we fully esti-
mated the worth of the soul, aud its desti-
ny, we should more fully comprehend the
duty we owe one another. He did not
think we Should make it political.
Rev. Mr.. Savary thought, as it had been
said, that society here needed overhauling.
1t would startle many. if all the revelations
of the night watch were known to the pub
lie. He wanted all the churches to COM
bine their efforts; and every church should
be IA temperance society. He did not know
but every church member was temper
ance man, and every society man, also.
a. +. Burnram Esq, was called upon.
and made some general remarks in favor
of the cause. 1t being late he was cut of
in the midst OF an interesting part Of his
remarks.
Meeting adjourned to meet in two weeks.

The Lecture.

The 1Ith lecture was delivered Tuesday
Evening, March 10th, by Rev. William II
Sayary, of Ellsworth = Subject, old Eug
land and New"
The lecturer pleasantly introduced hi
subject by abiding to Hawthorne
Sketches in England. under the title o
Our Old Nomc.r This was Tie key noit
of the lecture which was a polished ans
scholarly essay upon the characteristic
traits we New Englanders have Inherited
from our English ancestors.
These traits were strongly marked in re
ligion. society and politics, but in New
England we have Improved the presen!
stock by higher and broader civiliza'
ton. Our natural advantages of loftiel
mountains. wider plains, broader rivers
more fertile valleys. have elevated our NOR
al and political tone. If we lack li.tl'
of the upper classes of English Society
we have freer, firmer and trUer charac.
ter.
However much the European Nobility
may have sneered at Yankee bom5ast. the
New England Character is respected ever
in the Pgivy Council Chamber al Backing-
ham Palace, where our demand for repair.
alton of the Alabama losses is anXiously
considered.
Our early history is full of events that
have tended to strengthen our character
morally and politically. From the cabin
of the Mayllowcr. came forth a germ, thai
has budded at last into nation Of freedom
without slave. noble or prince within its
broad boundaries. Men are free and prop
crty is free. In England men are free per
haps, bat not equal.-Prop erty is not fret
and is slowly gravitating into the hands o.
the few.
Yet the Lecturer spoke kindly of sold
England, all that she had done fol-
freedom, and of her many noble qualities
and said England's truest, nOblest pride
should be in her children who have al,
ready outstiipped her in the out ward marcel
of civilization. We exulting in our ad-
vanccd position could still reverence The
past ages, and at least respect the present
age of Old England.
The lecture was finished literary pro-
duction, full OF thoughts finely expressed.
We have not space to give extracts in illus
tration of this, but the evident delight o.
the audience is an assurance of the excel
lcnce of the discourse.
