The New York Times says that Caleb Cush-
ing has more brains than any other leader of
the Democratic party and wonders that he has
not Leen mentioned for the Presidency. As if
brains would commend him to Tammany HALL
Morrisey is the true representative man.
A periodical bore till September-E. F. Pills

jack knives and whiskey punches for station

The Detroit Tribune APPLY observes: SIT is
because the American people know that the
Democratic party stands to-day with one hand
reached out to greet the unrepentant rebels
with the grasp of fellowship, and with the
other doubled up to strike the negro down in
to the dust, and that it has repudiated and will
repudate that organization"
There aprears no donbt but that the Presi-
dent will, on tae 4th of July, issue proclama-
ton of general amnesty Indeed, he has prom
Used it TO several Southern men who have been
urging him to pursue that course.
A correspondent, said to be well acquaint-
cd with the Democratic clubs OF New York,
writes that the Chase movement has not been
abandoned, but, on the contrary, is gaining
strength. Nearly all the clubs are committed
to it, and the leaders do not hesitate to say
that Pendleton cannot be nominated.
The New York Tribune adds to its list of
candidates for the position of Commissioner
of Internal Revenue the name of Gen. Sheri-
dan.
Small misunderstanding the Republican lick
ct because the candidates are from neighboring
States and because the nominee for President
was christened Hiram Ulysses
The Harrisburg Patriot suggests to the Dem
ocrats that as they want Radical candidate,
they will do well to take Gen. Butler.
We learn from the Buffalo Express that Mr..
Seward will support Grant and Colfax this
fall no matter whether the Democratic candi-
date should be Chase, Pendleton, Seymour,
Nelson, Hancock, or even Andy johnson

Gov. Pease of Texas declared in his recent
message that crime was never before as pre-
valent in Texas as at this time, and in proof
of this stated that the official returns from
half the counties in the State showed that
206 homicides have been committed during
the last six months, only small number of
which have been followed by any punishment.
The New York Democratic papers have no
occasion for surprise that General Grant was
not hailed with more enthusiasm in his recent
passage through that city; if he had shown
himself there unprotected, at the time Of his
struggle with the rebellion, he might have
been mobbed by the readers of those papers.

READ THE TIES TIMONY.
The superior quality of Croasdale's Super
Phosphate as a fertilizer has become univer-
sally acknowledged wherever it has been used.
Testimonials are pouring in from farmers, some
of which are given below. The same reports
come from Major VIM. G. Dodge, of Welch-
vile, from Ira VIM of Yarmouth and from
d. B. Kicker of this city who purchased it for
his brother Alfred. Such unanlmity in the
testimony of those who have used the fertil-
izer is the highest recommendation the article
could have. The truth is, the more it has be-
come known the greater is the demand. Our
farmers know and learn from experience what
is best for their lands and when they get hold
of reliable and sure article like Croasdale's
Phosphate, they are not slow in recommend
ing it. The following are few of the many
testimonials received in favor of this Phos-
phate:

The Vote Admitted to

Much uncertainty prevailed last night and
early this morning whether the vote would be
taken on Impeachment to-day, and conse-
quently there was not much excitement ex-
hibited; but about ten o'clock il began to be
whispered about that decisive action would
certainly be had, and that a result of convic-
ton on the second and eleventh articles had
been figured out
Other rumOrs to the effect that each invalid
Senator was TO b. conveyed to the Capitol ON a
stretcher to give his vote served to add piq nam

indeed nothing more was needed than the re-
port of a vote TO be taken to send everybody

the spectators, and speculation was afoot as

was considered bad for conviction.

This morning every body was on the qun

taken the news spread through the streets, and

and by others with corresponding indignation.

firing salute in honor OF the vote.
Crowds were gathered about the no els, and
propose cheers for the res alt or some of those
charged that Senators had been bought which
provoked angry words but no blows
pass ed as far as we have heard.
Generally, however, the citizens kept in good
humor, and frequently, when crow would
come from Conservative, the answer would
come back from a Radical that action on the
remaining articles would be postponed, or that
they would commence de moro next time
