There is sound philosophy and truth in

the Pitisburg Post

Senaf0r R0ss.

Senator Ross gives two very strong
reasons for his vote, one that be must
keep bis oath, another that be would save
his party. For the first, every honest
man will honor him. For the second,
every Republican should thank him.
Never was a greater blundeE committed
by party than in this case of impeach-
ment. And, so far as the effect is con-
cerned, never was it more plainly APP
parent that a blunder is worse than a
crime. The seven Senators have done
more to save their party than the remain

z. NJ. STANTON,
Secretary of War.

The battle is over, the last gun has
been fred, and the impeachment smoke
ba. cleared away. The Constitution has
triumphed in the hands of the Ereeu-
tive, and the prerogatives Of government
remain as instituted and defined by its
trainers. 1t is a triumph Of the right,
and gives reason to hope that American
Liberty will yet be preserved, and come
out cold from the ordeal Of FIRE to which
!, has been subjected. Never was there
a more outrageous, unprincipled or
shameless procedure of usurpation at
tempted in any government. 1t had not
even the merit Of originality or holiness,
but skulked under the pretended will of
n betrayed and misrepresentea people
1t has cost the people half a million OF
dollars, aisgraced thirty-fve Senators,
and placed a blot of infamy on the
national escutcbeon, over which every

for James Buchanan. he was not in

rhe Managerr Inve.tigation.

The investigation of the impsachers is
coming out at the little end Of the horn,
so far as the seven Senators are con-
cerned. But spoon Butler (set a rogue
to catch rogue) is keen on the track of
corruption, and it is thought he has made
some discoveries against the thirty FIVE.
1t is ascertained that Ross, whom he was
especially after, was not one Of the pur-
cIiaseable, and that tpo Senator's Uho
uoted for eOnpicftOn Ssrei The eorre-
spondent of the Louisville Courier states
that if the smelling committee will
continue their investigation, it will be
discovered who they are" The cor
respondent says.
Buffers theory is that Wooley was the
man who handled the money for bribery,
and hence his determination to compel
him to testify. Butler claims that Wooley
gave three different versions about the
money, and that all were false. Wooley
and his friends presist in the statement
that bis money was used in his own pri-
vate business. I
The report caused a profound sensa-
tic en- the House, especially the devel-
opments brought out in the testimony Of
| Weed, who admits he had talked with
Collector Smythe aud others, all about
impeachment and buying Senators. The
evidspee is rather damaging to Snythe,
but whatever has transpired, there Is
no proof that aby Of the seven recusant

The Washington correspondent OF the
Chicago Times writes on the 18th inst
as follows;
"A sharp but quiet contest is going
on between the friends Of Hancock aud
Pendleton, which ia attracting much
attention here. Hanoocks friends claim
that he n the first choice Of New

Southern delegates, on the score OF

Lyuchburg Republican, Petersburg IN

Picayune, and other Southern papers,

politicians propose totake a back seat,
but will advise Hancocks nomination.
Sill Pendleton's friends are very active
and hopeful"
II turns out after all, and on more par,
ticular inquiry, that these papers and
others mentioned, are for the choice
which Che North will make" principles
not men" The South will no, play the
suicidal fool in the interest Of any can

man that represents the white mans
party, the people against the bondhold-
ers, and the principles Of the government
of Washington. Choose such man and
the South will be unit, Though perhaps
powerless as such. No man ever lived

tinent by the balance of power in the

be all the same. When great issues are
at stake the people Of this country are
net to be humbugged with men and
names. The man who may receive the

nerve enough left for the preservation of

The State Debt.

The Nashville Banner contains letter
from S. Watson, President of the Bank
of Tennessee, to Brownlow, asking his
views as to an increase of the State in
debtedness. Also, the reply of Brown
low, in which he says: II am opposed
to any increase in the present State debt.
and shall recommend to the Legislature,
at its next meeting in November, an
amendment of the constitution pro-
hibiting the issuance of any more bonds
of the State than are authorized by ex-
listing laws. shall also recon mend that
provisions be made for the sale of all
railroads which cannot pay their interest
promptly"
The Banner adds on the authority of
the Press and Times, that at meet
ing Of the Board of Finance in Knox.
vile, on Thursday last, no business was
done except to take prompt and vigor-
Gus action for the payment of the July
interest, and that the measures adopted
are such as have had the appreciation of
the entire Board. The existing dissen-
sions render it somewhat difficult for us
TO understand what the entire appto-
baton of the Board means, but we UNI
derstand from responsible source that
it was determined to issue gold bonds for
the purpose Of meeting our July obliga-
tons. The proposition 10 borrow money
to buy up our deprecated bonds was not,
according to our informant, adopted. 1t
