Maoaulay,s Method Of Writing.

AS regards his method Of work, the
following account which Mr.. Treyelyan
gives is extremely Interesting:
AS soon, he tells us, as Macanlay had
got into his head all the information re-
lating to any particular episode in his
history (such. for instance, as Argyll's
expedition to Scotland, or the atlainder
of Sir John FenWick. or the calling in OF
the clipped coinageO he would sit down
and write of the whole story at a head
long speed; ske cling in the outlines
under the genial and audacious impulse
Of a first conceptions and securing in
black and white each idea and epithet
and turn of phrase as it flowed straight
from his busy brain to his rapid fingers.
His manuscript at this stage to the
eyes of any one but himself appeared to
consist Of column after column OF dashes
and flGurishes, in which straight line,
with q halftOrmed letter at each end
and another in the middle, did du y Tor
word. 1t twas from amid chaos OF
such hieroglyphics that.Lady Trevelyan,
after her brothers. death, deciphered
chat account Of the last days of William,
which titly close the "History." As soon
as Macaulay had finished his roush h
draft, he began to fill 1t in at the rate Of
six sides of f0olscap every morning,
written in SO large q hand, and with
such a multitude of erasures, That The
whole six pages were, OH an average
compressed into two pages Of print.
This portion he called mis- "task," and
he was never quite easy unless he COM
pleted it daily. More he seldom sought
10 accomplish; for he had learned by
long experience that this was as much
as he could do at his best; and, except
at his best, he never did work at all. II

ITGRows more evident, as the time
for holding the Republican Convention
approaches, that neither of the four
prominent candidates can be or ought
to be nominated. The country needs
and the voters insist upon having can
diaates who are capable and honest,
and entirely outside of and free from
the inauence of the great party managers
who are now struggling to get control
of. the Government. The Republicans
have it in their power to nominate can
fMate who would be elected by an over
whelming msority, and whose admins
sration would be entirely in the interest
of the people. That man is WAsHBURNE,
ofIllinois, now Minister to France. He
was a reformer when it was not popu-
lar to beso regarded. He stood up for
the preservation OF the rights OF
the people against schemes, cor
ruptioas, land grants and real estate
jobbers when he had little help or back
ing. He is we'll versed in all thas per-
tains to governmental affairs, has served
faithfully in many capacities, and when
others faltered in duty he was at his
post standing for the rights of the weak
against the strong and fer honesty
against the robber and schemer. With
him for candidate the Republican
party would have not'nlng in its leader

why Johnson's Ram Failed to Get
a Prize
[From the Michigan Farmer I


Our county fair is just over, but John
sons Cotswold ram did not take tue
prize that was offered for the best
animal OF that kind. Judge Klump was
chairman Of the committee OH rams, and
he manifested the deepest interest in
JOhnsOu's indicating clearly that il any
sheep ought TO take prize that one
ought to. Johnson's ram was by itself
in The pen with high board fence, and
before adjudicating the judge thought
he had better g0'in and make a close eX-
animation oil the animal for the purpose
oil ascertaining the tneness Of its wool.
AS soon as the judge reached the inte.
rior he walked toward the ram, where
upon the ram began 10 lower his head
aud to shake it ominously. just as the
judge was about to feel the fleece, the
RAM leaped forward and planted his
head in the judges stomach, rolling him
over on the ground. Before the Judge
had time TO realize what had happened,
the ram came ut him again and began a
serIes of prOmiscuous butts, each given
with the precision and force OF pile
driver. 1t butted the judge on the back,
on the ribs, ON the arms, on the
shoulder-blades, and the bald place on
his head. ON his shins, 1t butted his spec.
tacles off; it butted his high hat into
silk chaos, it butted him over into the
corner, and up against the fence; then
1t butted four boards of the pen, and es-
capped into the fair grounds. and skedad-
died, and would not wait TO have the first
prize ticket pinned to his ear. Judge
Klump did not go after it. No, mol -Four
men came and carried him home. The doc.
tor anticipates he Will recover by the

Impea, .hment Questions.

1t will he remembered that twenty
nine Senate RS voted that the Senate had
no jurisdic ltion of the impeachment
against Be knap. Since that question
was submit Lted there have been various
other mott ons discussed and acted upon
BY majo rity of the Senate, as prelimin-
ary to the, trial. and it is noticeable that
on these rnatters the Senators who held
that there was not jurisdiction have
steadily declined to vote at all. Sup
pose the same thing happens on the final
vote for acquittal or conviction, can the
Senate command the requisite two
thirds to convictP We presume not.
VIII two-thirds OF those yoting on that
question be sufficient to convict, when
that number is less than two-thirds Of
she Senate present and answering to
their names ON the roll call2 We pre-
sumo not. Is there any power in the
Senate to compel Senators to vote on
any given question, and especially on
question where the Jurisdiction is
by such Senators deniedf And
again we presume not. Then
what good can come of all thistthing of
assuming jurisdiction by a forced con-
struction of the Constitution 1T is a
common principle in judicial practice,
where there are serious doubts OF the
jurisdiction in any given case, to de-
cline the Jurisdiction. This is the
proper measure of safety. For, to pro-
ceed without jurisdiction, is trespass
from the beginning. The proceedings
from first to last are absolutely unlaw-
ful; just as unlawful as the proceedings
Of mob under the presiding directions
81 .sJudge LYNCH II without Jurisdic-
tion at the beginning, it 10 not possible
that jurisdiction can be gained or cen.
ferred by any subsequent step in the
proceedings. Every thing 10 void al
initio. A judicial right can never grow
out Of judicial wrong. To proceed
axainst prisoner without jurisdiction
renders the court and its ministerial
pticers all trespassers upon the
rights Of the accused person, for which

Now. these twenty-nine Senators have

ment. Is there any power in the Senate
to compel them to take Jurisdiction in

by forms of lawtt which the Jaw itself
in their opinion aid mot authorize them
80 do. How, then, can these twenty
nine Senators consistently act and vote
in the proceedings, after having, by their
several recorded votes, disclaimed and
denied their Jurisdiction?
The question of jurisdiction Is always
and necessarily primary one. 1t is the
radical OF all that follows. II that be
interrupted, or if at any stage of the pro-
Fceedings the lack of Jurisdiction be dis
covered, the whole procedure falls for
the lack Of foundation, and becomes abb
solutely null and void, d
These twenty-five Senators hold. as
wen they may, that this present im-
pes-onmentproeedur lacks this primary
foundation, end they refuse to build
uponit. To be consistent they can adopt
no other course. Were it an interlocu-,
tory question, a question OF legal expo
sition, arising during the tendency OF a
procedure in itselflawful, the ruling Of a
mere majority would properly be de-
claratory of the law, or the practice, and
the twenty.nine dissenting Senators
might consistently accept the law
as SO declared. But this iques-
tion of jurisdiction is not OF that
nature. 1t is in itself rudimentary,
1t is absolutely fundamental. Without
jurisdiction no subsequent interlocutory
question can arise. 1t were like at
tempting to erect superstructure upon
nothing; and would, in the law, be as
empty as ''the baseless fabric of
Dream" Consequently, these 20 Sena-
tors are not to be regarded as acting
cautiously in declining TO vote upon the
proceedings in Belknap's case subse.
quent to the vote on the question of ju-
risdictlon. They are in fact correctly
pursuing the legal logic that underlies
this case; and which leaves no other
consistent course open for them to pur-
| sue. The result of all this will be obvi-
| ous to all intelligent minds when, il
| ever, the final vote comes TO be taken
on the subject. The 90 Senators will
/ say: Believing that we have not juris-
diction, we decline to vote, The end
j will be an acquittal. for lack of a two.
