their heads of ice ? Will they continue to
support the majority in Congress- who are
the legitimate authors. the putative fathers
OF this marvellous wickednesS! VIII they
allow Their standing army TO be used in
support of such a monstrous tyranny How
long are we to be subjected to this dupli-

be enslaved and crushed out of civil and
political existence by the Inauguration of a
negro despotlsm for the next twenty-seven

proposed and about to be fraudulently en-

FROM WASHINGTON.
Arrival of the Arkansas Delegatio
In the City

In the C1ty.
New YORK. April 25.-The Herald's
Washington dispatch says: A portion of
the Arkansas delegation elected for the
Senate and House of Representatives in
connection with the new Constitution, ar
rived in this city on Friday, and Senators
elect B. E. Rice and Alexander MacDon-
aid, and Logan Fl. Roots, member elect for
the first district, are here. James Kinds,
of the second, and Thomas Bates, of the
third district, will follow in few days.
1t is proposed by the delegation at the first
opportunity, probably not till after the
completion of the impeachment trial, to
formally present the new Constitution to
Congress. Each member of the delegation
has in his possession a certified copy of
that instrument, furnished him by the pro-
visional authorities of Arkansas. 1t is un-
derstood that the Conservatives of the semi
reconstructed State are making an effort
to nullify the election upon the charge of
fraud. The official returns of the election
from Gen. Gillett have not yet reached
Gen. Grants headquarters.

Mr. Stanton replied that he was proud
that he was the recipient of such kindly
w. hC buOu lCGilOu.
ca Chief Justice Chase-DeniaI.
The Trbune's Washington special says ::
Mr.. Nelson, in his speech, alluded to Chief
Justice Chase arguing that he had a right
to deliver charge to the Impeachment
Court when ali the evidence is in, previous
to their retirement for consultation on the
verdict. This has drawn out considerable
comment, and it is asserted in many quar-
ters that the Chief Justice entertains this
opinion and that he will so act when the
proper time arrives. We have authority
for saying that these surmises are not
founded on fact, and that Mr.. Chase has
not expressed his opinion on the subject to
any one.
r.. C. Parsons for Congress.
The same special says: r. c. Parsons,
Marshal of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States. has received letter, unani-
mously signed by business men, merchants
and others of the Eighth Ohio district, urg-
ing him to allow his name to be put in
for representative on the Re-
publican ticket for Congress. Mr.. Parsons
has replied complying with the request.
Judge Spalding declines nomination.

THINGS ABOUT TowN.-These are dull,
dreary and Improbable times for the To-
calizer who isactuated by sincere desire
to serve the people and keep them advised
of all that is going ON in every part of this
busy city. From morning till midnight,
whether the day be pleasant or whether it
be rainy or disagreeable, to rove through
the streets, keeping his eyes open, his ears
working backward and forward like a
mules, his tongue discreetly guarded,
looking, inquiring for news to please his
morning readers, is but the least of his la
bors. With the hundred eyes OF Argus,
the wings OF Mercury, and a brain that
never tires, he would still be wanting in
al the necessary qualifications of an item
| izer in city so barren of interest in daily
occurrences. He must be able to read the
faces OF men as they pass; to catch from
this one or from that an idea that may
hereafter be of use in writing a squib, or
catching a careless word falling from the
lips of q passer by, throw it into the hop
per of his BRAIN mill there to be ground
INTO pleasantjoke or witty saying. It's
Jolly life though. In these daily peram-
bulat ons one meets so many confounded
foels hat it really makes life enjoyable.
W .n, we suppose fools are as necessary to
make up the sum total of the world, as To-
cal editors. And so ends this groan.
