WASHINGTON, Mag 4.-Gen. Grcnt re-
turned this morning from his trip to
Philadelphia, and was on duty at his
headquarters. lie has not attended the
Impeachment trial since it commenced,
and expresses no opinion about it in con-
versation with his friends.
The Ways and Means Committee of
the House have been engaged with the
preparation OF a tax bill, and expect to
have it i'll Shape to present to the House
by the time the impeachment trial is
over. There is much difference of opin-
ion as to the exemptions to be made in
the new bill. The House will need a
week or two to consider it, when before
that body. The Committee are also at
work on the tariff bill, but have not
made much progress.
Many physicians and surgeons have
arrived here to attend the annual session
of the American Medical Association,
which meets tomorrow.
The White House looks deserted
Scarcely any visitors call on Johnson,
and he seldom goes out, but sticks to
the executive mansion like a hermit.
Even the Office hunters have forsaken
him, except Collector Smythe, of New
York who wants another office.

MPEAcTIMENT.-The latest intelligence re-
ceived of the proceedings of the court of i'm
parchment is down to the afternoon of We'd
nes;lay, whom manager Bingham closed his
long and able argument with a gallery crowd
ed to suffocation. At the close of the speech
the galleries cheered and the Chief Justice rap
ped and gave order to the sergeant-at-arnls to
clear the galleries, which was sustained by
some of the Senators and disapprovcd by SEN
ator Cameron The order was carried into cf-
feet amid Kisses from the gallarics which were
repeated on the second rising of Chief Justice

SOUTH CARoLINA.-The certified copy
of the new constitution adopted by
South Carolina was transmitted to Con
gress, Monday the 4th, by the Preside Mt
1t is generally supposed that the accept
ance of the constitution by Congress will
be followed by the admission of congress
men and senators from that state. This
however, is erroneous, as the fifth sectlor
cf the reconstruction act March 2, 1867
provides sThat the fourteenth amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States must be finally ratified, and that
when said fourteenth article becomes
a part of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, and not until then, shall the
State be declared entitled to Representa-
tion in Congress, after which the senators
and members may be admitted on taking
the test OATH" Four or five of the
Southern States must, consequently, con-
vcne their legislatures for the above pur-
pose, before South Carolina can be adj
mitted.

LoGIc.-The first point argued by Mr..
Stanbery, i'll his summing up speech is
that the Teuure-of-Office act does not
forbid attempts to remove an officer, but
only his actual removal; that Mr.. Stan
ton never was removed In fact, having
steadily held the Office in spite of all et.
forts to remove him; that to claim that
he was removed an du is to concede
that the order of removal was valid in
law and therefore wholly innocent.--
That if he was neither remonve in fact
nor in law the Presidents acts amount
to mere attempt to commit crime,
and not to the crime itself.
This ingenious argument reminds one
of the casutiy by which the ancient phi
losophers undertook to pursuade Zeno
the Stole that there could be no motion.
a body, said they, must always move
either in the place where it is, or in the
place where 1t is not. 1t cannot move
in the place where it is, and until it
moves it cannot get into the place where
it is not. Hence motion is impossible.

Since Andrew johnson has deliberately vol
lated a law of Congress- with whatsoever pur-
pose or intent, if, Though any considerations
he should now escape conviction, the Senate
would virtually proclaim to the nation, and to all
future generations, that the provision OF the
Constitution for the impeachment of Il Prcsl-
dent is dead letter; that the President cannot
be impeached for the violation ofany law which
he himself assumes to be unconstitutional; that
as ii is possible for the President to assume any
law to be unconstitutional that is obnoxious to
him, or that may stand in the way of his per
verse or ambitious designs, so the President
may violate any and every law without danger
of impeachment; that future Presidents, there
fore, may understand that on setting up the
same pretext they become virtually irrespon-
isble to the people; that the Presidency, there
fore, is a despOtiyn,, and that we are living TN
der monarchy.

The late rebel States which have not yet
held elections to ratify new Constitutions are
Virginia, Florida, Mississippi, all Texas. The
Virginia convention completed her constitn-
ton and adjourned on the 18th ult. The cleo
ton to ratify has been indefinitely postponed
by order of Gen. Schoficld, on the alleged
ground that no appropriation has been made
to dcfray the expenses of the election, and
await Congressional action. 1t is stated that
he is actually opposed to the congressional
plan of reconstruction, and is in sympathy
with the President. This is contradicted, and
it is alleged that his action is in accordance
with the advice of Gen. Grant, which is doubt
less correct. Florida has completed her con-
stitution and the Republicans have nominated
Il State ticket The election comes off the
present week, being set for the first Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday in May. The Miss
issippi convention is in session, forming a new
constitution, and we expect to hear daily that
its labors are completed. In Texas, alone, no
convention has been held But convention
favorable to Congressional reconstruction has
been elected but no order has yet been issued

LAKE SHORE POTATO CRoP.-We gather
from the Paincsville Adrertiser, the following
Statistics of the number of Potatoes raised and
shipped by some of the towns along the Lake
Shore Railroad. Although these towns have
been known to grow largely, this crop we pre-
sumo the extent of the figures will surprise
many who have not thought of the matter.
There have been received for shipment of the
crop of potatoes of 1867, at the different sta
tons, as follows: Mentor, $4,000 bushels, with
10000 bushels awaiting shipment, and from
the same place some $4,000 to 10000 bushscls
were delivered at Cleveland by teams Paines-
vile, 115,000 bushels already shipped, and
$4,000 bushels estimated yet to come in Per
ry, shipped at depot awaiting cars, $4,000 bush
els, and yet to be delivered $4,000 bushels
Madison, 125,000 bushels forwarded, 10000 to
$4,000 bushels brought in Unionville, ship
ped and awaiting shipment at depot, 27,0OO
bushels, and estimated yet to be delivered
$1,000 bushels; total, 100000 bushels. Of
course we make no estimate in these figures oi
the number of bushels used for home consumE
ton or planting, which would swell the grand
total to considerably over half a million bush
els of potatoes as the product of Little Lake
towards feeding the millions and enriching her
farmers
With reference to the present year our CO.
temporary of the Times, says : The breadth
of land which is being put to potatoes this
spring is immense. Lake county is one vast
tield-thc number of acres planted exceeding
those of any previous year. The people in the
northern part of Ashtabula county, on the
sandy and gravelly lands, are just waking up
to the value of this crop, and Geneva will this
season produce full share, judging from the
