GERMAN TROUT.-Rev. VIM. II. Lord,
in his last letter from Europe, speaks of
catching some trout in one of the brooks
that run through the Black Forest, near
Baden. He describes them as follows :
'"These fish are not like our New Eng
land trout. OF this fact / am so well
pleased to be convinced that it is al
most worth a trip to Europe to verify it.
They have black and red spots like ours,
but no crimson, no blue, no golden spots.
They have not the greyish brown and
black marks which belong to ours. Their
color is blush, very blue when they are
boiled. They have one less back fin ;
and, worse than all, they have scales,
palpablc and actual scales. No micros-
cope is needed to find them. They are
Il scaly tribe. Their meat is white, and
they are not as rich as our trout

Thurlow Weed publishes Il card in the
New York Commercial ddcortiser rela-
tive to his testimony before the I'M
peachment Managers, and its presenta-
ton to the House by Mr.. Butler on Mon
day. He says:
ain explanation of the propositions
made to myself, | have this to say Sen
ator Pomeroy either intended to dispose
of the three votes--including his OWN
or he was willing that his friends should
use his name to make money, or rs some
believe, there was a conspiracy between
Butlcrand Pomeroy to implicate the
President, thus obtaining new material
for impeachment.
My reasons for this belief are that
some months since Mr.. Legett, an init
mate friend of Senator Pomeroy, was af-
ter the appointment of Postmaster at
Leavenworth, Kansas. He was support
/ ed by Mr.. Pomeroy, who wrote letter
which was shown to the Postmaster
/ General--promising his (Pomeroy's) vote
! for the Presidential confirmation and
his influence against impeachment.
| The Postmaster General was furnished
/ with copy of Senator Pomeroy's letter,
copied from the original in his possess
sion, and Legctt received postal agen-
cy some few weeks ago. LeSett appear
ed before Col. Cooper with letter from
Senator Pomeroy saying he would carry
out in good faith any arrangement made
with Mr.. Gaylor, who is Pomeroy's
brother-in-law. Whercupon Legett and
Gaylor undertook, for money, TO obtain
the votes of Senators Pomcroy, Nyeand
Upton.
did not believe that Senators Nye
and Upton had authorized this arrange
ment, nor did / believe that either of
them would vote against the conviction
of the President; but | do believe that
Senator Pomeroy bated the hooks with
which his friend Lcgett and brothcrin-
law, Gaylor, fished. Whether they
caught anything or not, l am unable to
say. Nothing certainly from me or
with my CONSENT

FAILURE OF AN AMERICAN PETRO-
LEUM FIRM.-The London Daily News
in its city article of May II says:
The failure is announced of Messrs.
Bedding, Keith & Co., described as
American bankers and merchants, Of
Lombard street. The liabilities are
roughly estimated at from 100000 to
100000, and an unfavOrable liquidation
is expected, some discreditable circum-
stances apparently existing in connect
ion with the affair. The business was
originally carried on under the title of
Keith & Co., and the present house has
been in existence only about two years.
The losses have been chiefly in petrO-
leum. Most of the creditors are in the
United States, the number in this cOun-
try not exceeding twelve.

DISTURBANCES IN WILMINGTON, n. c.
A Democratic torchlight procession, with
speeches, transparencies, &c., took place in
Wilmington, N. c., on Tuesday night. The
negroes, instigated by whites (scalawagt
and carpet-baggers), endeavored in many
ways to disturb the proceedings, by insult
and missiles, but the calmness and self
control of the whites foiled their purpose.
No collision took place. The Morning Star
says:
"Such is brief review of the first riot
which has ever occurred, to our knowledge,
in the city Of Wilmington. We say in per-
feet candor that in our belief the absence
of bloodshsd on this occasion is solely at
tributable to the forbearance of the whites
With manliness that. must commend their
action to all right-minded people, and which
challenges our admiration, they patiently
submitted to taunts, to jeers, to insults, tc
being rocked along the streets of their ma
tive city, at the instance and instigation o.
the rpet-baggers in our midst, and pre-
served, through their forhearance and dis
erection, the peace of the city, which VIA:
imperilled each moment of three long and
trying hours of Tuesday night"
