MockerY Of Justice.

In the impeachment trial of President John
son by the Senate, those who will act as judges
have already made up and expressed an opinion.
As the Richmond Wing says: In ordinary
criminal trials no man who has expressed an
opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused is competent to sit as juror, but in this
case jury that has not only expressed an opin-
ion, but sworn to it, is to try the case!''

1t is most remarkable circumstance in the
history OF the times that the President of the
Y. ). is to be impeached for the alleged viola
ton ola law, which the Individual who has
raised the disturbance, pronounced to be nm
constitutional, and the veto of which law bo
himself prepared and mostly wrote! Whatever
may be the issue, Mr.. Stanton must sink below
zero, In the estimation of all unprejudiced men,
n Mr.. Speaker Colfax, when the vote was taken
on Impeachment, said 'that he could not con.
sent that his constituents should be silent on so
grave an occasion, and therefore as member
OF the House, he voted ave." Interesting
Speaker Colfax! He could not rest satisfied

Not AI.ogether Fair sailing.

The New York Tribune complains. Evil
IDENTIFY, something is out of joint in the Re-
publican anatomy, and the prospect for
Republican success is by no means cheer
ing in the estimation of the editor of the
Tribune, or he would not give utterance to
the following, which he does in the Tribune
of the 18th:
We have a class of Republicans who
would have tried the patience OF job
Whenver the current sets against us-as
it did last Fall--they will do nothing; ar
guing that success is hopeless and effort
fruitless, and, when the current is with us,
they will do next to nothing, arguing that
effort is needless-that we can't help win
ming. Hence, in our good times, they are
worth exactly their own votes; while in
other times, they DO not even vote, but, by
their dismal croaking, demoralize those
who otherwise would.
Just now, this class have taken up the
cry that the adversary has ruined his pros
poets by his preposterous nominations at
Tammany Hall. 1t is impossible, they ar
que, that SeymOur's War record and Blair's
JacObin letter, with the Reputation pro-
posed in the Tammany Platform, should
not utterly swamp the concern. To try to
beat the General who took Vicksburg with
the Governor who, at the very hour of its
was chuckling, in this city, to
a crowd of shouting Copperheads, that it
had not been taken, they hold so preposter-
GUS that they regard the Democratic NOM
ination as joke. and are quietly settling
down in the comforting delusion that there
will be no contest-that Grant and ColfaX
will walk over the course. And now,
should the October Election go against us,
these very men will insist that we are beat
en- beyond hope, and will be as torpid from
despair as they are now from undue conf
1ence. ,-.--.s----- .-.. .-s-,--..r --..

What a working Man Thinks.

We find the following communication in
the Philadelphia Sunday Mercury. 1t was
sent to the editor of the Press, but refused
an insertion in that paper. 1t carries with
it its own comment, and shows how beau
tifully all classes of men are humbugged
when they believe what they read in Rad
ical newspapers Pittsburgh Post. { a%
3 Mr.. John W. Forney: For years past 1
have worked, given my money, and drought
at the polls for your Republican party. /
have earned $4,000 by cart driving and eel

attack on President johnson, read, almost
daily, in the Press, short articles like this

Well, johnson was acquitted, and I soas

then 10S1s, and bought row of old court
houses, in Alder street. But what follow

Why, bonds rose in two Weeks to 1852! I

Physician Heal Thyself.

While the Republican press, with one ac-
cord, are denounCiDg as Reputation the
third resolution of the Democretic Plat
form, demanding that the obligations of
the Government shall be paid in accor-
dance with the law creating them-where
stipulated to be paid in coin, to be so paid,
but where not stipulated to be SO paid, then
to be paid in the lawful money of the
United States-there are Republicans in
the Senate of the United States Of
CONSPICUOUS standing in the party,
who denounce as, preposterous the idea
that the $40 Bonds are required either
by law or by the observance of good faith
to be paid in coin. One of these Senators
is Senator MORTON of Indiana. We copy
the following from the Washington special
of the 18th, to the Cincinnati Commercial:
Mr.. Morton contended that by the ex-
press provisions of all the statutes on the
subject, five-twenties were payable in legal
tenders; insisted that it was delusion to
hold any other idea up to the country, and
protested against the Republican party be-
ing committed to any such dogma as their
payment in coin.
The Republican party is committed be-
yond recall to the dogma that the $40
Bonds must be paid in coin. Neither the
people nor the Democratic party are COM
mitted to any such ''delusion" or dogma
But would it not be well for the Republi-
can journals to expostulate with Senator
MORTON, instead of showering vituperation
upon the Democratic party for declaring
that the 5-2O's shall be paid in the lawful
money of the United States. They had bet
ter weed out the heresy that exists in their
political church on this subject, before un-
dertaking to expoud their financial gospel
to what they term the Democratic heather.

city to furnish volunteers to assist General
MEAD to drive back from the borders of

a speech, and in this speech he used the
following language: .EE f.f &.
If General Meade's army is defeated,
which God forbid, I need not say to intelli-
gent tPennsylvanians what is next to occur.
Military men have concurred in the opinion,
and properly, that the defense of Pennsyl-
yania from-certainly of the city-will be
found upon the banks of the Susquehanna;
and certainly it is pleasant for me to an
nounce that the call made upon the people
of Pennsylvania has been responded to all
through the State IN a manner much beyond
all official anticipation, and now from her
mountains and valleys, from the homes and
publiewo our loyal and devoted Penn
sylvanians are on their way to the place of
rendezvous, and will soon be in arms to
protect you on the banks of her great riv-
er. l ask for 1880 men from this city,

honor and protect ourselves.--Ledger, July

At that time HoRATIo SEYMOUR was Gov
ernor of New York, and he threw troops
into Pennsylvania, upon the solicitation of
her Governor, before the Pennsylvanians
awakened from their CONSERVATION caused
by LEES advance into that State. And
this same HoRATIo SEYMOUR, is denounced
by the liars in the Republican party, as
having been guilty of giving aid and COM
tort to the Confederate cause.

The .JournaI i'm TrfbuIatfon.

| The Journal was pleased to take Senator
THURMAN in hand yesterday morning, for
having made the declaration, Monday eve
ming, that the Democratic Platform was
the most powerful platform ever adopted.
1t agreed with the Judge thatif the Finan-
cial doctrine announced in the third reso-
luton were to prevail, then indeed would it
be powerful for evil. 1t would blast the
public credit. The idea that any portion
of the Bonds of the United States should
be paid simply in the lawful money of the
United States, and not in coin, would rem
der it absolutely impossible to purchase an
admission ticket to the Lake of Como, or
''buy breakfast in Frankfort or Vienna I"
the summer resorts of the editor of the
Journal. This is not all; but, to use the
language of the Journal, 1t will cause this
Government to occupya more disgraceful
position than has been occupied by any
civilized Government since the Reforma-
tion." We shudder to think of it; and
then. imagine, if you can, the editor of the
Journal with his pockets full of the claw
full money of the United States" which he
had been compelled to take for his 5-2Os,
unable to purchase glimpse of the Lake
of Como, or to ''buy breakfast land break
fastiss his best griplin Frankfort or Vien-
na." To inflict such calamity upon him
would be remorseless cruelty, and we ex-
tend to him our sorrowing sympathy.
While the editor of the Journal might
encounter these annoyances at the Lake of
Como, and at Frankfort and Vienna, in
of the Government cutting
down its expenses and redeeming its 500
Bonds in 'lawful money of the United
States," instead of in coin, the laboring
man and the mechanic would be able to buy
more potatoes, more meat, more butter,
more sugar, and such like. Is this con-
over which they would refuse to
be comforted? That's the question of the
hour, -tftrF or,~, ..~-ff
