The Impeachment Trial.

We see no reason to alter our
opinion that, no matter what may
be the nature OF the evidence plac-
ed before the "High Court of I'm
parchment" the U. S. Senate, the
majority of the members of that
body will not divest themselves
OF their political feeling snfii-
GENTLY to decide with impartiality.
They have decided in advance 10
remove President Johnson as en-
obstacle III the way Of their par
tisan success, and nothing but an
apprehension that acting Vice
President Wade In the White
House might prove a greater OBJ
stacle, will deter them from car
rying out their decision. The Ia
dies of the Presidents family are
already packing up to remove, it is
said, as if conscious of the real
state of affairs, and they evince
wisdom in thus taking time by the
forelock. In the meantime, our
government securities are going
down in Europe, owing othe prev
alence of a vague fear abroad
that impeachment means repudia-
ton, and that Congress unscru-
pulous on one subject may be un-
scrupulous on all. The trial of the
President (if a trial it may be
called under such circumstances)
RECOMMENDED last Monday, and
no doubt will be, despite its charac-
ter, something interesting.

A lad near Bucyrus, O., recent
ly went out to a potato mound to
get potatoes; afterclearing away the
snow, and breaking into the mound
be found a kind of nest in the
straw, in Which was a complete
ball, which he took to be a large
mass of string such as our wool
men use. He brought this in
with the potatoes, and laid it
on the baby's cradle near the
stove. His mother just then sent
him over to a neighbor and con-
tinued about her work. He was
gone an hour, and when he re-
turned, upon looking for his ball,
be found it had resolced itself into
a pile of squirming snakes, many
of which were seeking the warmth
of the infants body, and one had
actually entered the infants mouth.
A cry of alarm from the boy at
tracted the attention Of the mother
toward the cradle, and Selling the
child sought to extricate the rep
tile, but was too late, and it actual
Iy drew itself within the baby's
mouth and down its throat. A
physician was sent for, but he
recognized the snake as being
perfectly harmless. He declined
worrying the baby with medicine,
and the child seemed unhurt by
the singular accident. The moth
er declares, however, that its appe-
tite is much increased, and that in
its sleep it frequently Kisses loud

The Question Settled /
Scientifically.

We learn with dismay that when
Gen. Grant "was about twelve
years old" he had his head examin.
ed by blindfolded phrenologist.
After the manipulation ofbumps had
recovered from his astonishment
at the most extraordinary head, a
Doctor Bickner asked whether the
boy would be likely to distinguish
himself in mathematics? Eyes"
said the phrenoiogIst, "in mathe-
mates or anything else; 1t s0ould
not be strange If ace should see him
President Of the United States"
We learn oil this from a letter
by Grant senior to the New York
Ledger. We are also indebted to
the same source for the knowledge
! of the fact that when Ulysses was
about twelve, Gan eventful period
in the life of this great boy) he
won halfa dozen marbles by jump
ing twenty-five feet down a bluff
and sticking in the mud.
Again, ..:when he was about
twelve yearsold," he drove a coup
lie of young ladies into a swollen
creek. The water arose to their
waists. They screamed.
sin the midst of the excite
ment Ulysses, who was on a for
ward seat, looked back to the Ia
dies, and with an air perfectly
undisturbed, merely said: "Don'l

But papa -neglects to say wheth-

Legal Advertising-the
Late and Present Laws.

AS our readers are aware, the |
Tennessee Legislature has passed
! law selecting one paper in each
Congressional District, to do all
he legal printing of the District.
Tho vote in the House we have
not seen, but that in the Senate
we have already published, and
the name Of old Billy Wyatt is
recorded IN faoor of this obnox-
lous law, as it is found voting TOR
every measure that was calculated
or intended to Cypress or degrade
the people OF Tennessee.
What is the object of this new
law? Certainly not to promote
the interest Of the mass of the peo-
pie. If all the monied men Of the
State, those who wish to buy prop
erty, belonged to the Radical
party, then this bill might be of
some service. If the object in
advertising is to attract the great
est possible attention and to reach
the largest number of readers,
then this bill is n failure. The
man who has propsrty for sale,
under u decree of court, wishes
to find the best purchaser, wheth-
err he be Conservative or Radical.
1t is simply question of dollars
and cents, and not to be controlled
by political preferences for this or
that paper.
The object is to build up a Rad
ical paper in each Congressional
District, and this act compelling
all legal notices to be published
in that paper, is simply a con-
tribution levied upon every man in
the district who has to have any
legal printing done, for the support
aud maintenance of q Radi.
Cal paper. If there was a well
established paper in the central
part of every district, the effec,
of this bill would be less onerous,
but in some districts there is only
one paper published, and that
may be in a remote county, with
no circulation outside the county
limits.
For this District, Brownlow has
selected the Shelbyville Repudi-
can. Not one man in twenty in
this county will ever know when
the lands of their nearest neigh.
Dor are to be sold, because they
never see the paper in which it is
advertised. a few spectators
will take advantage of this fact,
and they alone, in connection
with the publisher, will be bene-
fitted by it. The same difficulty
will present itself in every Con-
gressional district. 1t is .very
commendable in the Radicals to
exert themselves to sustain their
papers, but we do not think they
have the right to compromise the
interest of the whole community to
build up a few MEN.
But the recent law was also very
defective. Its plain intent, in re-
curing publication to be made,
was to give as much publicity as
possible to legal notices. Justice
and fairness to parties interested
demanded that the widest circula-
ton possible should be given to
notices of sales, etc; yet, under
the law, an officer or agent was
permitted to give notice, if of a
land sale, for instance, in a paper
that did not have a solitary sub
,criber in the civil district where
The land lay, while another paper,
with good circulation among the
people who would have been most
likely to purchase the property,
would have done the same adver-
Using for the same amount of pay.
In the one case, the funds of the
parties would be uselessly wasted
