even broke an iron rock" to obtain the teeth
as weapons, The Germans barricaded them
selves in the basement of thehospital building,
when the Irishmen attempted to break into the
house. The doors were battered down. and the
Eight was going on quite iercsly. VIXEN strong
force of police arrived and succeeded in quel-
ling the row, though not before being COM
PEELED to shoot down four Of the beligerents.
Eighteen of the rioters were wounded more or
less seriously, and eighty-six were secured and
confined in building strongly guarded by
police. The emigrants engaged in the fight are
still excited. and declare the fight will be re-
newed, as soon as the police leave the Island.

The Election.

Tomorrow is the county election day.
Very many good men are prevented from
voting. They we're once voters, but are
now DISTINGUISHED. They were neve-
convicted of any crime warrantin-c de-
privation of their privileges. -. we
| live in day when punishment precedes
conviction. The err post dcto.laws, under
which they are punished, had no exist
ence when the acts condemned by them
were committed. But, though the Con-
stitutions Of their country and State both
forbid the possibility Of such state OF
things, and no honest court can affirm
its legality, and every republican prin-
ciple, and every emotion in the heart OF
the American freeman forbid it, yet dis
franchised they are. They are mere
lockers on.
But, enfranehised men Of Shelby
county, these your friends, are not in
different and uninierested lockers on.
They look with an absorbing and anxious
interest to what you do. They are de-
string that you should be energetic, vigi-
liant, united and tribe For your sake and
their own, for the good of the country, its
inhabitants aud its future, they lament
all divisions, and pray anxiously for your
Democratic and Conservative victory.
Forget not enfranchised fellow sub
jects, that you are casting double vote,
one for yourselves and another for your
DISTINGUISHED friends, whose wishes
should much influence your action. If
they are for the Conservative tieketvith-
out the alteration Of lie or name,
one-half your vote should be controlled by
that fact; and the other by the over
whelming reasons for organization, and
the fact that without it defeat is inevita-
Bile. Go to the polls voters, knowing no
favorites, no friends, nor anything but
union, organization and victory.

In the Senate yesterday, the morning
hour having expired and other business
laid aside. the Chief Justice advanced
up the aisle, clad In his official robes,
and escorted by Mr. Pomeroy. the chair
man Of the committee appointed for that
purpose, with Judge Nelson, Of the su.
preme Court, on the right
The Chief Justice assembled the Presi'
dents chair, and said in q measured and
impressive voice:
SENATORS: In obedience TO a notice, l
have appeared to join with you in form,
ing Court Of Impeachment for the trial
OF the President Of the United States,
and am now ready to take the oath.
The following oath was then admiuis-
tered to the Chief Justice by Judge
Nelson:
II do solemnly swear that in all things
pertaining TO the trial Of the impeach-
ment of Andrew Johnson, President Of
the United States, will do impartial
Justice according TO the Constitution and
laws, so help me God"
The Chief Justice then said: "The
Senators, ms their names are called BY
the Secretary, will appear and take the
oath prescribed in the rules" The
only Senator'S absent we're Messrs.
Doolittle, Edmouds, Patterson, Of
New Hampshire, and Salisbury.
When Mr.. Wade's name was called,
Mr.. Hendricks rose and put the ques-
ton to the presiding officer as to whether
Mr.. Wade, being the person who would
succeed in the Presidential Office, was
entitled to sit as Judge in the case. De-
bate followed at great length, after which
thu court of impeachment adjourned to
one o'clock to-day.
Nothing important was transacted in
the House, and many members have
taken the occasion TO go home.

I Inasmuch as the sole power to try I'M

in the Senate, and it is made the duty OF
the Chief Justice to preside when the
President is on trial, take the liberty OF
submitting, very respectfully, some OBJ
servations in respect to the proper mode
of proceeding upon the Impeachment
which has been preferred by the House
of Representatives against the President
now in office. That when the Senate sits
| for the trial of an impeachment u sits as
court seems unquest'onable. That Tor
the trial Of an impeachment oil the Pres
ident, this court must be constituted OF
the members of the Senate, with the Chief
Justice presiding, seems equally so.
The Fedcrdlist is regarded as the high
est contemporary authority on the con-
struction Of the Constitution, and in
the 64th number sets forth the functions
of the Senate sitting in the judicial ca
pacity as q court, for the trial of inn

uniting the Supreme Court with the SEN

citizens will fervently pray that no ooca-

Views Of Chief Justice Chase.

A telegram in tho Herald, protesting
to originate with person cni>ying intimate
relations with Chase, represents that Chase
would only accept the nomination for the
Presidency when tho nation was in the ut
most peril, and then at tho snnr;Gao Of hi;u
honest convictions. He admits that the rad.
ical party and himself differ widely, and, as
the parties are now organized, he is with the
Democrat. Ho differs with them only on one
point-that Of universal manhood suffrage
but agrees with them on all other great issues,
and says, that if elected, by that party, he
would certainly curry out their policy. The
dcplorablc condition of the Southern States
demands proper Congressional consideration,
and also material aid from the Government
There is no Constitutional authority for hold
ing theac States in subjection. It is alike un-
wise and unjust. He favors acknowledgements
and removal Of. political disabilities from eve
ry white man in the South. lie thinks free
dom aud manhood suffrage arc unquestioned
rights, but controvcrts any other power than
the States themselves to confer the right, the
general Government having no control over
the matter. lie is opposed to political disa-
bilitics and proposes general amnesty as re-
lief. He regards general amnesty as abso.
lutcly necessary, and urges liberal aid to
Southern railroads and navigablc rivers. He
thinks the Government should build levees
from Cairo to the Gulf. He also urges an
early return 10 specie payments, and condo
mns in strong terms the trial of citizens by
military commission during peace. The hope
is expressed, that if Mr.. johnson rcorgani-
zcs his Cabinet, he will appoint due propnr-
ton from the Southern States. Replying to
a question, Mr.. Chase said Congress had no
authority lc abridgc The Presidents pardon.

The Two Platforms.
CHOOSE YE WHICH YOU PREFER.

4. p
To enable readers to distinguish between
things that differ, we print in juxtaposition,
the two platforms, adopted by the Democrat
10 and tho bondhodcrs party at their rcspcc-
tive conventions. Ono, the Democratic dec.
laration of principles, is outspokon, emphatic
and comprehensive; it prcscntss ssquarcly to the
people the several issues in which they have
80 large an interest. The other, the Jacobin
bondholders' platform, glittcrs with gcncrali.
ty and evales tho important questions that
concern thc masses of the people. Every vo.
tor owes it to himself to- e7salrine. tlre swo
platforms, and then determine for which he
will cast his suffrage, He not only owes it to
himself, but to his country. Let no one take
the statements Of pattizau newspapers, which
are too apt to praise what ever omanates from
thoir party friends, and to declaim against ey.
cry thing from their opponents. We there.
fore furnish the render with the means of de.
sormining, each for himself, the relative NOR.
its and demerits of both platforms. This
secms to us tho honest method of enabling
readers to make up their minds; one thing
will strike the attention of every reader: tho
grcat constrast existing between The p!a.eorn.e
has mover been paralleled,
ON THE FORM OF GOVERNMENTS.
The Democratic platform says:
That, as ever, wo are iuaoxibly opposed to
al measures, the tendency Of which is to
lead to consolidation Of all power in the hands
Of the agents of the federal government, be-
)ieving, as We do, that tho happiness of the
whole people and preservation and continua-
tioa Of our union as republic, and its free
institutions, depend upon maintaining invio-
lato tho great principles Of tho equal sover-
..snsy anu equality OF eaon au>e
subordinate to tho exercise Of the just and
clearly granted powers Of the federal govern
rnept---ia all their just rights and constitu-
'ional privileges as integral members Of the
federal Union.
From this declaration it necessasily results
that we are now, have been, aud will be un.
alterably opposed to all the various measures
of the two last Congresses, which, under tho
name of reconstruction measures and other
spocious and deceptive titles, seek in effect,
