WASHINGTON, May 6.-SEEArE-Cou-
sideration of the impeachment articles
was resumed. Mr.. Conkling submitted
the following questions to the managers:
First-If two persons guilty of crime
in Office cease to be officers at the same
time-One by removal and the other by
resignation-is one rather than the
other subject to Impeachment sfterwardH
If q distinction between the two cases
exists, please state.
Seconds a private citizen liable to
impeachment under the Constitution of

trace the distinction to the clause of the
Constitution, or to the principal one in
which it is found.
Mr.. Mitchell, of Oregon, submitted the
following question: THE Constitution
provides that when the President Of the

Jerrold used to tell this incident
from his own experience A pas
senger, well-to-do in the world, had
fallen overheard at sea, and his life
was saved by an Irish sailor, who
Jumped in after him. As a reward
for the service which his preseryer
had rendered him, the generous
passenger presented the man with
sixpence! Whereupon the sailor,
scanning him from head to FOOT
with a smile Of supreme contempt,
exclaimed in a rich brogue, "Be

h PORTER RESOLUTIONS.

We think the Knoxville Tribune
is mistaken in its Interpretation of
the action of our Democratic and
Conservative Convention, held on
the LIST inst, in the matter relating
to Governor Porter. 1t is well
known hat the State Executive
Committee called tive State Con-
yentions, one to assemble on the
31st inst. to appoint delegates to
the National Democratic Conyen-
ton at st. Louis, the other conyen-
ton to meet in August to nominate
a candidate for Governor. This
was a wise arrangement. In our
County Convention some overzeal-
GUS friend of Governor Porter's
offered a resolution indorsing'G Gov.
Porter's administration and pre-
senting his name for nomina-
ton. This was considered pre-
mature, out of place and uncalled
for. 1t was not contemplated in
the call or by the public that this
convention should forestall or pre-
the next convention. TAX
ing this practical and common
sense view Of the question Governor
Porter's best friends voted to table
the resolution. But lest this action
should be misconstrued abroad the
resolution was taken from the table
at the instance of Governor Harris,
and passed, after striking out the
reference to a denomination. That
was all there was in it to provoke
the satire and invidious criticism
of the Tribune. Shelby county
Democracy may not be so straight
that it leans backward, but it gen
orally rolls up pretty fair majoritieS
in State and cunt elections. Itgot
left in 1872, but if we are not mis-
taken the senior editor of the Tri-
bune, although nominally a Demo-
cratic elector, did something in his
own peculiar and forcible way to
produce that result. We might say
more on this point, but it is haIdly
necessary to our purpose.

..Chinkapin Pints.,,

Judge Emmons, Of the United States
Circuit Court, has q way Of propounding
questions TO attorneys in the opening OF
their cases, which are not as agreeable
as a favorable charge would prove to be.
A few terms ago, at Nashville, il hap
pened that Hon. 10 Guild appeared
before his honor TO argue q case in
which bis persecuted client had, Of
course, a profound interest. The veneer
able judge started of, in his own inimii-
able style, but was soon interrupted by
an interrogatory from the bench, which
the distinguished advocate did not re-
gard as OF all relevant TO the matter in
hand or the speech he was trying to
make. Parrying the matter as best be
could, he again set out in his chosen line
of argument. Two or three other like
Interruptions from the bench having fol-
lowed in unpleasant succession, "Old

gathering Precipitation from his massive
brow, exclaimed in almost supplianI
tones; NOV, il il please your honor

The safe burglary Af1alr-An0tner
Letter from Miles, the Convict.
Special to New York Times.l
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Miles, the safe
burglar, now in the Vermont State prison,
has written a letter, just received by
Columbus Alexander, stating many ad
ditional particulars of his connection
with the burglary. In his recently-pub-
Iished interview he referred to meeting a
prominent official, in the Metropolitan
Hotel, on the night Of the burglary, but
did not give the name, He now says
that officer was General Babeock, and
the prominent contractor was John o.
Evans. Miles says the bottom facts are
that General Babceck originated the
scheme Of drawing Alexander into some
~disgraceful transaction. The details
we're all left to Harrington, who made a
miserable failure. OF course it was i'm
possible for Miles to know the extent OF
Babcock's knowledge Of the affair, and
no evidence has been produced 10 show
that he had any knowledge Of the pro-
posed burglary till after the act. dc
knew probably that something was to be
done, but did not know the nature o.
what was contemplated.

soul has been taken away from US. May

never loved the world, nor the things of

affections on God alone. Now she is, |

May God in His mercy receive her

Mrs. Mary A. Ford, una" the we'll.
known Irish.American poetess, is dead.
She was held in very high estimation by
the Irish-American and Catholic press
of the country. Her Washington Fare
we'll to His Army" "a Hundred Years
From Now" THE Green and Gold"
the Men Of Rutli," and God Pity the
Poor" are esteemed among the finest
things in the English language.
"She shows" as the Western Educa-
tional Review we'll remarked: That
the different phases of life have a higher
meaning than is apparent on the surface,
and that there is something even in this
world superior to riches, honor, fame and
ambition" And in the art Of presenting
her thoughts she is eminently successful.
All her poems are full OF harmony, and
instinct with life and beauty. Una,
observes the St Louis Republican, us a
master of versi6cation and has the feel
ing of rythm. But her poems are more
than the mechanism of a mere versiier.
They spring from the poetic fountain,
and are unused, and nursed, and clothed
in the poetic mood Many of them are
living memories OF Ireland, crowned with
the wreathed green Of national pride and
patriotism. Above all, Irish songs must
be alive with the pulse of love and aglow
with the inspiration Of freedom. 'Una's
songs are so. There is a deep, religious
undercurrent of thought in everything
she writes, There are NJ dull platitudes
of faith in her devotional strains, but
there is always the strong nerved hope
Of healthful religious fervor. Some Of
her poems have a fine dramatic move
ment; all are thoughtful and melodious.
She was born in the County OF Antrim,
Ireland, in l84l, and removed hither
when a mere child. She was educated
in the Convent of St. Martins, Ohio,
where che remained some three or four
years. OF this admirable institution,
wherein she had been a great favorite,
she ever cherished the kindest remem-
brance, and continued always to CORE
spond with her teachers and friends Of
youth She resided chiefly in st. Louis,
where she vas for FIVE years connected
with the Clinton school. During her
brief illness, the good Sisters sent her
friends many anxious and inquiring
letters, and on receiving intelligence OF
her death, a touching letter was ad-
dressed by the Lady Superioress to Mr..
A. Ford, from which we quote a few
extracts:
