rUEIMPEACHMENT.

Very little was done of any special
interest during the morning session of
the Court of Impeachment yesterday.
The Court organized to try John 5.
Burdett met and adjourned sine die, and
ther the Senate organized as a Court to
continue the trial of Auditor Bennett.
Senator Loomis withdrew his question
which had been objected to the evening
b fore. and which brought about a closing
of the doors for the purpose OF discussing
the point of order raised by Senator john
son that neither counsel for the respond
emf nor the Managers had any right to
object to a question propounded by Sen
stor. His Honor Judge Hsymond de-
cIded that such right ofobjectlon existed,
and in such points the Court must be
governed BY the rIle$ of the common
law. A motion having been made 10
vote upon this ruling it was done accord
inglv, and the Judge was sus-
tanned bv very decided vote OF
Ii to s. Mr.. Morrow, of counsel
for the respondent moved to amend his
motion of the day before SO as to make
it read "to strike out so much OF Mr..
Cabelrs testimony as relates to check
for twenty four thousand nine hundred
and some dollars on the Merchants Ma
tionsl Bank ef Wheeling or the Mer-
chants National Bank of West Virgins
at wheeling" The vote was taken and
rho motion lost; after which recess was
taken.
After recess several witnesses were
exsmined Mr.. Doddridse, first called,
corroborated Mr.. Cabelrs testimony re
gsrdipp transactions between this gentle.
man and the Auditor, On being cross,
examined.he said he might have stated
70 the committee that he was not present
when anv contract was made with elthef
tho Auditor or Treasurer. He did not
consider this transaction contract
He also stated that the cnecH
above alluded to was on tue
Merchants National Bank a. Wheeling,
and was payable to f, A. Bennett, Aud
itor, for taxes, and was credited to the
! State.
| Governor Jacob was next called. He
stated that he had been shown in May,
1873. letter from Mr. Adams, cashier ol
the FirstNational Bank at Wheeling, ad-
/ dressed to the Treasurer, and he told MT
| w. T. Burdett that it related to sum ol
! money amounting to 81, lG0 which Ought
have been in the treasury. Afterward 10

cate of deposit, showing that the Auditor
had deposited the money in the treasury
The counsel for the defense objected te
the introduction as evidence of any con
versations had relating to the Auditor
Objection sustained by vote of l9 to 3
The Governor then said he did moi
know where the money was. He traced
it to draft drawn for it on the First
National Bank drawn or paid on tha
2lst day of March. He ascertained that
it was interest on the irreducible school
fund, and it was placed in the treasury
June Oath, 1873. On his cross examina-
tion he stated that he had had conver.
sations with the Auditor in September
1872, about certain sum of meney which
ought to have been in the treasury,
amounting to about $1,000.
The Auditor stated he was trying to
get on the track of it, and desired to &c
to New York to see aboutlt Witness did
not know that the First National Bank
Of Wheeling had ever issued certificate
of deposit, and unless such had been is
sued, the money would not have been in
the treasury. The Auditor subsequ emily
showed him that he had had considerable
correspondence on the subject.
After the Governor had con-
cluded his testimony, Mr.. George
Adams, former cashier of the
First National Bank at Wheeling,
was called, and was examined regarding
the transaction with his bank concerning
the money. He gave full history of
the matter, stating that his bank regu-
larly collected interest on certain bonds
through its correspondent in New York
by means of power of attorney; that
the money so received was put regularly
to the credit of the State; that he had
considerable correspondence with the
Auditor on the subject, md finally when
that officer drew on his bank for the
whole sum, he at first determined not. to
honor the draft; but concluded hnally to
do so, and promptly notified the Treas
urer of his action, so that he
would know the State deposits
in the bank had been re-
duced to that extent. This was
about the gist of the statement, except
that the witness being asked what was
the date of the payment of the draft, re-.
piled that he did not know, but could
give 1t after refreshing his memory by a
reference to the books of the bank. Wit
ness was then cross examined at some
length and copies of several letters which
had passed between the Auditor and
himself were read and Identified as correct.
Nothing specially was elected during the
cress s-examnalion, except that it was
shown that no certificate had ever been
sent the Auditor, and be Was therefore
when he sent on his draft
ignorant of the money ever having been
placed to the credit of the State. Upon
the conclusion of Mr.. Adams testimony
the Court adjourned.

shop under pretense Of getting his boots
repaired, and when Dooley was bending
his head for the purpose of examining
them Hines cut his neck from ear to ear.
Dooley lived about half an hour from
the time he was cut. He was considered
very quiet, inoffensive man.
After getting possession of the Jail,
the mob opened the cell holding Estep
and Dawson, then relocked the door and
proceeded up Kanawha street, screaming
and hallooing and firing off their pistols,
making night hideous by their noises.
After they had gone up Kanawha street
as far as the First National Bank, they
halted, and some of them hallooed, "Let
us go back and bring the freshman" " and
hundred voices echoed, airing the
lrishman! Bring the Irishmanw So
the negroes, who masked themselves fer
this purpose, accompanied by part of
the large body, returned and secured
Hines, without resistence, and marched
in swift pursuit to overtake the main
body, who were by this time in the upper
part of the city, followed by hundreds OF
men and boys.
SCENE AT THE BRIDGE,
Before they arrived'at the bridge, the
place of execution, one of the murderers,
Dawson, SAID he would tell them all
about the murder if they would give him
some whisky, but they did not give HIM
any. After arriving at the bridge they
gave the prisoners half an hour to pre-
pare themselves for death, and told them
to pray. Dawson said: 81 wouldn't bend
my knees before any II man on
Campbelps Creek; and | hope / will
meet you al in hi before two weeks"
"Hang them Hang them!!' arose from
the crowd. When the time came for ad
justing the rope great many backed
down, and the Captain commanded them
with curses to come forward and do their
duty. Estep was hung first though the
last one to die. He struggled about
fifteen minutes. Dawson was then hung,
and expired quickly. Neither of them
made any confession Of their crimes.
Hines, the Irishman, was taken to a tree
above the bridge and hung. He begged
them not to hang him, but it was no use.
They asked him if he had anything to
say, and he SAID: "Tm sorry done it,
for have always been friend to the
colored race"
So the last scene was enacted, Another
tale is told; FIVE men dead, one IN his
grave month past, three in this city,
and the fifth at Campbelps Creek. |
pray that it may be the last demonstra-
ton, last murder, and the last hanging
that we shall have to chronicle in this
generally quiet little city of Charleston,
on the Kanawha. Cincinnati Eaguirer.

cheeks and chin, and marks of powerful
passion in every lineament of his face.
Yet, on the other hand, you find the re-
semblance in the features of the two
noted divines probably not so great as in
their moral characters
DR.. Newman is a man Of very great
ability and vast learning-an orator of
wonderful power. His text, to-day, was
in these words (Gen. ix., 27: God shall
enlarge Jspheth, and he shall dwell in
the tents of Shem, and Canaan shall be
his servant"
He traced this prophecy of Noah to
its fulfllment, showing that the
descendents of Japheth were the intel
lectual and cultured people of the world;
that they had discovered every science
and made every invention that goes to
enlighted and benefit mankind. That
descendants of SheH, the tent-dwellsrs
and worshippers, had founded every re.
ligion known to man-Judealsm, Budd-
ism, Confuciousism, Mohomadism and
Christianity. That the descendants
of Canaan (the son of Hsm) remain to
this day the servants, or interiors, of the
others. They have no science, no art, no
religion, no literatuse. Japheth has fur
nished the kings, the rulers, the sciences,
the arts, the literature, the civilization.
Shem has furnished the religions, the
worshipers, the priests. Ham furnishes
the servants. This opens vast field for
thought.
The form Of worship at this Methodist
church struck me. 1t is different from
the old Methodist church OF my mother.
DR.. Newman stood to pray; the congre-
cation sat. At the close of the long
morning prayer the congregation re-
peated, with the pastor, the Lords prayer.
The morning lesson in the Bible, being
a psalm, WAS read in alternate verses by
the pastor and membership. After the
sermon no closing prayer followed-only
hymn, doxology and benediction;

The Mexican Border Troubles.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-The Sec
retary OF War has transmitted to the
House of representatives, Tor the infor-
nation of the special committee on the
Mexican border troubles, in response to a
letter of that committee, copies Of re-
ports and correspondence IN 1874, 1875,
and 1876, relative to troubles on the Rio
Grande frontier. Ia reply TO an inquiry
of the committee whether the department
can dispose of sufficient force to give
complete protection TO the Rio Grande
border from the mouth OF the river La
redo and at such points between Laredo
aud Fort Denison as may need proteC-
ton, without detriment to the. gen.
eral service, the force necessary, in the
opinion of the committee being two
full regiments of the best class of mount
ed troops with infantry to garrison the
stations, the general of the army re-
ports rs 70 lows: l doubt the possibility
of preventing all raids across the Mexl.
can border from Brownsville to Esgle
Pass, for $50 miles, but they may i'll a
measure be prevented by increasing
the strength of the companies on the
f-ontier. Congress, by simply authoriz-
ing the President at his discretion to H.
crease each company serving there
to one hundred enlisted men would
meet the emergency more economically
than by any other cause. Possibly one
such regiment of infantry say the Elev-
enth or TwentY-!ourth, with one regI-
ment Of cavalry, the Eighth aud a part
OF the Tenth thus increased would SUI
fee | am convinced that single Gem
pary of one hundred men is more eff
cIent than two of the present small
companies. The only cavalry regi-
ment that could be sent TO the Rio
Grande this wiuter,- would be the Third,
now on the Union Pacific railroad, and
that would leave this road exposed to
raids from the Sioux, who are always
mIstrustcd.
