- After weeks of investigation and the TAX
ing of much testimony, it is given out that
there is not sufficient ground upon which to
base articles of impeachment against Dick
Busted, of Alabama. The main charge
against him was that he had received gifts as
brides, and it looks very much as If the case
was so similar to that of Grants that its
thorough ventilation would not affect Mister
Busted alone, but might establish a danger
GUS precedent which would not be pleasant
to those in higher positions.

The Old War Horse Extra Billy on
the Stump,
The Fredericksburg Meys of the 18th says

The Fredericksburg NeUs of the 18th says !:
"The fires are blazing. Governor Smith
kindled flame in Fredericksburg on Tues
day night which will burn more and more
widely until Wells & Co are consumed. The
old war-horsc, 'his neck clothed in thunder
unchilled by the chronological error in age,
with the vigor of forty and the wisdom of
three score, reused up the immense audience
to just appreciation of this terrible crisis in
Virgiuia's destiny. Invaded without cause or
Just provocation, overwhelmed by imported
numbers, and conquered at last by starvation,
it was our duty to do the best we could under
the circumstances surrounding. Congress,
Grant, and Schoield, shrunk aghast at the
denominations of the proposed Underwood con-
stitution. and accorded us chance to expur-
gate portion of Its enormities. Shall they
be better to US than we are to ourselves If
they protest, shall not we?
He skinned the scafawags, in comparison
with whom carpet baggers were gentlemen,
aud declared he would trust the colored peo-
rle before he would either. He praised their
affection and devotion during the war. We
must vote down the test oath and disfranchis-
ing clauses, and get the Legislature (elect
Kelly) and secure the Executive, who has the
veto power. Then the constitution will be
emasculated of its venom, and Wells promises
to leave Virginia. Feelings must not stand
in the way of duty. 1 got mad until got
back into good humor, and now we must
conquer in this contest, and we can do it"

A ROYAL MARRIAGE IN PROsPECT.-A
royal marriage is announced to take place at
Stockholm or Copenhagen on the 9th of
July, which will be of unusual interest, be-
cause it may lead to a union of the Kingdoms
OF Sweden and Denmark. Prince Frederick,
the heir apparent to the crown Of Denmark,
is to marry the Princess Louisa, the only child
of the King of Sweden, and heiress presump
tive to his crown. The Prince is 26 years Of
age and the Princess nearly 18. Upon the
death of the reigniDg monarchs of the two
Kingdoms, the crowns will probably be united.
But as the King of Denmark is only 81 and
the King of Sweden only 43, it may be
good many years before this contamination
can be reached.
Bas@ Colonel Edmund Fontaine died at his
residence in Hanover county, Va, on Saturday
evening last at half-p o'clock, in the
sixty>ninth year of his age He had been
in declining health for some time, and he had
been quite i'll for some days before his death
from federation ofthe stomoch. The deceased
at the time of his death, was President of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. Throughout his
long life he was a citizen Of great public
spirit.
A GREAT LEAP.-The Wrightsville (Pa.)
Star says: son Tuesday evening last, Rich
ard Curran, of this place, while bathing in the
river, conceived the daring project of leaping
from the top of bridge crossing the Susque-
hanna. He assembled the highest portion of
the structure and leaped from the dangerous
height into the water. 1t was certainly feat
of great recklessness, as the water is only
moderately deep and his escape was truly
wonderful. The height from surface of the
water is about fifty feet"
GENERAL HANCOCK Hancock
is talked of as the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania The New York
Sun says he sis one of the handsomest men
in the country, though of late he has inclined
rather too much to obesity" and advises him
to practice the velocipede-forty- three inch
machine, two hours day in loose gravel
which will reduce his superfuous flesh.
1t is stated in the New York papers that
the Adams Express Company, recently cbarg>
ed the enormous sum of $500 for transport
ing 100000 from Washington to Norfolk,
whittier it was sent by the Navy Department
for shipment to Brazil for the use of the
squadron in that section.

AT Charlestown, Virginia, one family
seems to have monopolized the Offices. The love
of holding Office sometimes runs in families, as
for instance, President Grants, but all are
not so fortunate. The Chapline family of
Charlestown, however, seems to be an excep-
ton. There are Joseph A. Chapline, Judge
of the Circuit Court; William. A. Chapline,
Clerk of the Circuit Court; I. Thomas Chap
line, Deputy Sheriff; Isaac Chapline, ST., As
SCISSOR; Little Josie Chapline, clerk in Post
Office. This family appears to be pretty we'll
provided for, and of having hap faculty
of nosing out places of honor and emolument.
Would it not be advisable for President Grant
to marry some of his relations into it. The
cross would be, admirable-nay, beyond all
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES (Tenn..) AOalanche.
1.-THE above paragraph is correct only in
part. So far as the Office holding of the
Cnapline family is concerned, it is true to the
letter, but in behalf of Charlestown we beg
leave to state that the family doesn't belong
here. They are all inhabitants of the pres
ent county seat of Jefferson, the romantic
village of Shepherdstown. We like the sug-
gestion of the Avalanche in regard to the
President sending up some of his unmarried
relations (f he has any Left to cross on this
family. We think the loyal of this county
deserve to be crossed with the royal of the
government.

END OF A HUMBUG.-The millennium has
lately come to close in the Boston Coliseum,
says the Baltimore Statesman, and if the lion
and the lamb did not lie down together, Grant,
owing to excessive modesty, came near lying
down at full length with the rest of the peace
full and happy family in the Geological Gar
den. The wags have had their own fun out
Of the grotesque exhibition, which, one ac-
count says, was to be opened by prayer by
four thousand clergymen, each selected, it is
to be supposed, on account of the size of his
nasal organ. The pride of Boston in the
Coliseum is not, however, to be put down by
any profane gibes and jeers of this sort. 1t
is almost as much boast as the Bunker Hill
Monument, and deserves to be. Perhaps no
city in the world can boast two structures com.
memorative of exactly antagonistic achieve
ments, one being raised to celebrate the
triumph of the cause of self government and
the other its overthrow.

A YOUTHFUL GEN1Us.-The NJ. E. Church
was crowded to excess during, the morning
and night service on last Sabbath to hear the
powerful preaching of the Rev. R. A. Hol-
land of Trinity Church, Baltimore. In the
morning he preached the commencement SER
mon of the Wesleyan Female Institutej TAX
ing as his subject "Jesus of Nazareth" The
subject at night was 1.-The Gospel" Both
sermons were fine specimens of rhetoric and
were listened to with breathless attention by
the audience, many of whom had heard the
eloquent Munsey, and believed that he never
could be equalled. Mr.. Holland has great
descriptive powers and swelling vein of poe
try runs through his discourses he is fowery
and dramatic graceful and distinct Of enun-
citation, and yet, with all these, he displays
much learning for one SO young, being, we
understand, but "a years of age. Mr. Mum
sey is powerful in argument, intellectual and
metephysical-hi language is more forcible
than beautiful; still he wins you over by his
power and deep delving research. Both are
great pulpit orators and ornaments to the
church they serve. Mr.. Holland is native
of Kentucky, who may we'll call him one of
her brilliant Valley VIrginian.

EQUALITY.

Tt is. seldom that so much sound sense, tells
ing against its own pet doctrines, is allowed
to reach the world from such source as the
following from the editorial columns of the
Chicago Tribune: "Some illadyised people
in Washington are endeavoring to procure
city ordinance compelling the hotels of that
city to accommodate colored guests on the
same terms and at the same tables as white,
or forfeit their license. An ordinance has
already been passed providing for annulling
the license'of theaters unless they shall seat
negroes and whites without distinction on &C.
count of color. So far from being democratic,
or in accordance with the principles of equal
ity, such attempts are as fagrantly at war
with equality of right as they are with polite
ness The only persons who are affected by
obtruding colorcd guests at a hotel or in
theatre are the other guests or attendants and
the proprietor. Nineteen twentieths of these
would be white under any circumstances, and
the effect of such measure is to enable one
black man or woman to force his or her COM
pany upon nineteen white men or women who
do not desire it. Displeasins the nineteen to
please the one, in matter of mere association
and taste, is not equality, but the grossest in
equality. Hotels and theaters are not public
Offices or government institutions. They are
not supported by taxes, like free schools, nor
do they enjoy any Legislative monopoly like
railroads. They offer entertainmeutan and amuse-
ment merely. The only function the govern
ment has in relation to them is to preserve
order, and not to regulate the class of people
who shall go to them. If governments had
the power by an ordinance to compel these
places to admit people of color, it must have
the power to exclude them, and the effect of
raising the question generally would be to
cause them to be excluded altogether from
the theaters and hotels, into certain parts of
which, and within certain restrictions, they
are now admitted" With all its wllful blind
ness the great Radical oracle of the North
west is forced to see, what our own impracti-
cables Gre unable to see, that civil equality
before the law and social equality are as dis
similar as any two things can possibly be.

ES- The National Lntcligencer reviews,
editorially, the recent decision of Attorney
General Hoar in the Weaver case. 1t makes
the point, and proves it, too, that every branch
of the Government has admitted that the war,
and with it the rebellion" legally ended in
Texas at the time of the Presidents procla-
nation in August, 1866. It then says: off
the rebellion ended in August, 1866, it is
simply amusing, if it were not question of
life and death, to hear the pretence set up
that the war was still in existence in Septem-
Der, 1865 Yet this is the reason, and the
only reason, given by Mr.. Hoar to sustain the
legality of the military commission under
which Weaver has been sentenced to be hung.
We confess to a feeling of pity for Mr.. Hoar.
We are sorry to see such an opinion emanate
from the Office of the Attorney General of the
United States" The Intcligencer should not
criticise' Mr.. Hoar's opinion so severely. 1t
was probably as good as could have been man
ufactured from the material on hand to suit
the circumstances, and seems to answer its
purpose very we'll The ItelIgencer's pity
is sadly misplaced. 1t is not every Attorney
General who would do such job of work at
all, and when one is found SO ready to serve
his party in any emergency, he really merits
not pity but contempt.
