IMPEACHMENT.

fhe impeachment trial so takes up the grace of the leading newspapers of the country that 1t is almost impossible to gather anything else from them. We have heretofore refrained from saying much on this subject, from the fact that we hadn't much to say. With all the de- ,cloI Imen.s of the trial thus far, before us, we can arrive at no more definite conclu- son than that expressed sometime since: fla: IS the President will be mpeached because the President is in the way of the Radicals, and for no other cause It is certainly ridiculous farce to see the Sen ate of the United States sitting in trial 4poa the Presidents case, with solemn faces and learned looks, hearing the 'argu- ment for and against, when tire country knows that not one of them will be the least influenced thereby, their opinion having been formed before witness was examined. This impeachment is Radi- cal trick to secure the next Presidential election, for their own party believe that were they certain of success this fall no effort would be made to get rid of John son. But it was necessary to remove him, and such tricksters as Butler, Logan and others were the nen 1o do K. The jus sscc CT injustice of this course is fully in. dexed by the character of the men partic- ipating in it. The Radicals claim that it is for the country's good, and as the coun- try's champions have selected such men as Butler, and Logan, and Stevens, where are the people that would not pray to be delivered from such defenders of their rights. Ire Radicals say Johnson is a traitor, and they who support him are en- calics to the government; yet his defend CTS are such able jurists as Stanberry, Evarts, Judge Curtis and ethers. A reading or the argument of the two sides shows plainly the difference between the parties. Butler, with his bullying, brag- ping harangue, represents the "people'-- tho great Radical party-while those who would support the dignity and character of the executive office (branded as traitors by the great party) are represented in the clear legal argument of Judge Curtis, and the earnest cloquence of Evarts. Butler and his associates have finished all their witnesses and have failed entirely to make a case. But that makes no difference; they are bent on accomplishing their pur- poses, and unless very extraordinary pressure of public opinion is brought to bear upon this subject, VIC may expect to hear by our next issue that the last great iniquity of Radicalism has triumphed, and the President is impeached, for we hon. estly believe they will do it.

CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, May 1.
 After the reading of the journal, MT. Bingham commenced the final argu- ment for the prosecution. Protesting that he took part in these proceedings from no partisan feeling, but with a weighty sense of their solemnity and true meaning, he then proceeded to sketch the events attending upon the assassination of President Lincoln and the accession of Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, and referring to his oath to execute the laws, spoke of tlAir majestic supremacy in our form of gov ernment, and claimed that the Presi- dent was equally subject to their au- thority with the humblest frontier set tlcr. He dwelt on the high trust com mitted to the Senate, and asserted that the issues of life and death hung on their decision he asked how the charge of violation of supreme law, was met by the counsel, who for hire defend the treason of the criminal respondent. It was by the outrageous assertion that each branch of the Government had the right to judge of the constitutionality of laws, and obey them or not at plea sure. This was the defense. Mir. Bing- ham held that the Senate, by uphold ing this proposition, would lay the foundation for monarchy first and sn- archy next, reign of chronic darkness on this issue which, in spite of lawyers tricks and special pleas, was the. real question involved; and their decision must stand for trial by the people. He repeated that the question was whether the President could be held to answer for violation of law. He held first that the Senate had the sole power to decide every question of law or fact arising therefrom, and also that they were the final arbiters, and the frequent attempts of the counsel to bring the Senate and Courts into opposition to each other were miserable devices to divert attention. He would not, he said, initiate the eloquent counsel (Mr. Evarts) who had shown himselfan eater up of syllables, snapper up of trifles, and W who had displayed more Latin than i law, uors rhetoric than logic and re-

 pJ-Mr. Grocsbeck's speech in dc. fense of the President has created a great sensation in Washington. The telegraphic correspondent of the Gin cinnati Commercial speaks of it in terms of warm commendation. He says:
 The speech, from the first sentence to the last, was splendid effort; unde- niable in its statesments, almost resist less in it's logic and beautiful in it's dic- ton, No audience has ever been more completely under the chain of speaker, aud no speaker has ever more exhaus- lively or more ably treated subject in the Senate chamber. If he had occu- pied eight hours instead of four, there would have been no complaints from those who listened. Mir, Curtis has given the law of the case, and Mir. Nell son the politics. Mir. Groesbeck seem- ed to combine both without losing the force of either, and to add occasionally beauty of expression which was entire- | ly new to the ease. His points againts the different articles were singular1y clear and conclusive,
 On the tenth article, which relates to the Presidents speech, he indulged in a vein of satire which was strong as Dean Swift and pleasant as Sidney smith. He read the text ofa bill which, he said would do as substitute for that article, proposing a punishment of fine and imprisonment against any one who shall speak disrespectfully of Congress or it's acts. This was enjoyed, especial ly by Fessenden, who felt it's bitter hu- nor, and by Reverdy Johnson. who laughed at it's sharp irony.
 The first man to congratulate Mir. Groesbeck at the close of his masterly address, was Ben Butler. Chief Justice Chase had already done so during the | fifteen minutes of recess at l o'clock, though he had then heard only the first and by no means the best part of what was to be said. The city is full to- night of Mir. Groesbeck's praise, from hundreds who never saw or heard of him until to-day. It is universally conceded that no man has ever made a more favorable impression in pnblic speech.

Served Them Right.

We actually rejoice when an in.
surance company that seeks by
some paltry excuse to evade pay
ment OF its policy, is legally
mulcted in damages. And of ev-
cry species Of fraud of this kind
the worst is surely that which, at
ter a man is dead who has paid
his premium for years, (confdlng
in the integrity of the insurance
company would take advantage
of his death to rob his widow and
orphans of the money due them.
The Supreme Court of Kings coun.
ty, New York, recently taught the
United States Casualty Company
a lesson on this subject. The In
scred party was wrecked at sea
and drowned, and the company al
legged that his death was not suifl-
GENTLY proved. The jury thought
otherwise, and gave a verdict in
the full amount claimed. This
was right. Il is too common q
practice for such companies to put
the families of insured subjects to
the expense of a law suit rather
than promptly pay their losses
Every such company ought to be
nublished to the world, SO that
honest ones may have the custom
that must follow the credit of do
ing otherwise. Better no insur.
ance companies at all than such as
use the "glorjous uncertainty OF
the law" to deceive all who con-
fde in them.
