Dear sir,-Learning that it is your in
tention to return to your home at Fairmont
for permanent residence, your friends ' in
the Second Congressional District beg leave
most respectfully to ask you to permit YOUR
name to be presented to the Republican
nominating Convention as candidate for
Congress. As loyal citizens of the State,
we feel that we cannot BE too grateful to
you Tor your distinguished services when
we needed an eloquent tongue and a brave
heart to fight our battles for us; and now
that you have been relieved from duty in
Virginia by the copperhead military COM
mander, and are about returning to your
home in West Virginia, We appeal to YOU to
permit pour fellow-citizens to again place
you in the forefront in the half-fought bat
tie for Union, freedom, and political re-
generation. SECOND DISTRICT
What does HUSNIcUTT think of that y

Second Dispatch.


Bingham z o'clock) is still speaking.
Second Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, May -Euening.- The
Senate chamber was crowded all day. Mr..
Bingham concluded his effort as follows:
"He might be pardoned for quoting the
words of Englands great historian, that
chad the case against James failed, the
tree of Liberty would have crumbled %;
and shall it he said in -history hereafter that
through the detection of the American Sc
nate the fair fabric of American liberty
crumbled into dust, and the name of our
Republic faded away before the nations
1t is the spirit of justice, of liberty, Of
equality, that makes your Constitution re-
spected everywhere. 1t gives the people
the right to make their own laws, and it is
this right which is challenged by your
recreant President. He claims the power
to make their laws-to be their dicta-
tor. If he is allowed to do so, it
will be by the voice of the Senate, not by
the free will of the American people, or
through any neglect Of their representa-
tiyes. VIII the Senate set him above the
Constitution which he has violated, and
which he swore to obey? Perhaps he was
saving too much, but he asked senators to
remember that he was speaking in behalf
of violated Constitution and the laws and
rights of a free people that he was speak
ing in the name of half million of braves
who had died that the nation might live.
cit only remained for him to thank sena-
tors for their attention and to demand in
the name of the House of Representatives
and ola free people the conviction of this &C
cused President, who stands guilty before
God and man of the high crimes and mis-
demeanors of which he stands impeached."
Applause followed the close of the speech,
and the Chief Justice ordered the galleries
to be cleared.
A motion to adjourn till Saturday was
lost-20 to 20.
The doors were then closed. resolution
to admit the official reporter was lost.
Mr.. Summers resolutions were discussed
till adjournment.

Mr.. DIsRAEL1AYD JUDAIsM.-The Je1o;sh
Chronicle, very high authority among the
people whose views it advocates, has the
following remarks in reference to the new
Premier and Judaism
"There seems, indeed, to be singular
mistake as to the relation of Disraeli to
Judaism. Some Jews censure him as an
apostate; and urge his apostacy as an in
stance of tergivisation. Some Christians
scott at him as q Jew, with a singular dis
regard of all they owe to the Hebrew race.
Now, the fact is, that in plain English, Dis
raeli is neither an apostate nor Jew. He
was born of Hebrew parents. His father,
Isaac Disraeli, the author, and his mother,
scion of the Basevis, were members of
Sephardim Jewish families. His grand
father and grandmother, indeed, rest in the
Portuguese cemetery at Mile End. Benjamin
Disraeli was admitted into the communion
of Israel, but his father, thinking fit to quar-
rel with his synagogue, failed to teach his
child Judaism. One day Rogers, the cele-
brated banker poet, happened to visit at
Isaac Disraeli's house at Hackney, when
Benjamin was about FIVE or six years old,
and regretting to find SO intelligent youth
without religious instruction, took him to
Hackney church. From this event dates
his absolute and complete severance from
the Jewish communion. He became Chris
tian, and great genius was lost to u.s."

There has been good deal said about
the Chief Justice voting in the impeach-
ment trial in case there is tie. The Dis
patch has shown that tie where majority
of two-thirds is required is impossible
The vote needed is t,ro against one. One
less than two-thirds cannot possibly be a
tie, and two-thirds is conviction. 1t is
therefore nonsense to talk of q tie in such q
case.-Rich1nond Dispatch.
We are inclined to differ with the Dis
patch. We are not sure, but are of the
opinion that the Chief Justice has vote in
every case If he chooses to use it, and what
is meant by tie in Radical parlance is one
less than the two-thirds vote necessary to
conviction. For instance, suppose ut the
final ballot there are sixteen votes for
acquittal and thirty-one for conviction, it
is evident that the President is not con-
yicted, and still evident that he is not
acquitted until it is known how the Chief
Justice will vote and though this is not a
tie" in reality, it is hard to discover the
difference in meaning. 1t is ut least an in
decisive vote in the nature of "tie."
This tie gives the President the same pro-
portionate chance, that is, two to one, which
he had at the beginning. For the Chief
Justice can by silence or by vote on the
liberal side acquit the President. He can
only convict him by voting against him.
QUID NUNC.
The Q,id Name is mistaken. A vote OF
sixteen for acquittal to thirty-one for con-
viction would end the trial at once. No one
claims q vote for the Chief Justice except
when it is necessary to break up tie and
as that would not be necessary in the case
supposed, he could not vote in such case
There can be no tie when two votes on one
side are only equal to one on the other, any
more than there could be if there were only
three senators in the body.
