Impeachment Of a supreme COur
Jngtfca.


The impeachment of Samuel Chase,
q justice of the United States Suprem,
Court, in 1904. was for many years
afterward favorite topic of CONVERSE
ton among the old employees at the
Capitol. He was one of the signers OF
the Declaration of Independence, and
an upright judge, but he must, al
times, il the stories about him wer,
correct. have been irascible and over
bearing. The prosecution was set on
foot and managed by John Randolph
Of Virginia. Eight distinct charges
were preferred, which alleged unjust.
tyrannical and arbitrary conduct at
certain trials over which he had pre-
sided. Judge Chase. it appeared. had
ct the close Of several political trials
taken occasion in his charge to the
jury to vent bis political opinions with
rather more force than the case would
seem to warrant. The Democratic
party determined to get rid of him.
and an impeachment wss resolved
upon. The Federalists of the country,
and especially those in Congress. de-
nounced the proceedings as without
just foundation and as an outburst o:
party spite and malice.
On the 4th Of February, 1905, the
court opened. Judge Chase appeared
for himself in person. assisted by
Charles Lee, the late Attorney General,
Robert GoOdloe Harper. the former
distinguished Federal leader in the
House, Luther Martin and Francis
Hoplxinson. The case was opened by
Randolph in a speech characterized
more By invectives than argument
An immense number Of witnesses
were examined on both sides, seven
teen days being occupied BY the testi
mony. The arguments Of the counse
and the summing up took seven days.

We regret to report that Mr.. R. 7. Han
son has been Frustrated by stroke of pa
ralysis of the right side, and that his condi-
Sion excites serious apprehension among
his relatives and friends. The attack is no
doubt result of the severe accident that

occasion when he was thrown from his
buggy and very nearly killed-and such a
visitation is extremely dangerous at his
time of life, but it is to be hoped that his
naturally robust constitution aud the skill
of his medical attendants will enable him
not only to survive this grave relapse, but
to experience a complete restoration of
health.

MILITARY MATTERS.
The Governors Guard to be Mustered
Out-Other Items.

Out-Other Items.
A communication has been forwarded to
General Headquarters, State OF California,
by the commander of the First Artillery
Regiment, recommending the Governors
Guard, Cadet Company, be mustered Out OF
service. The company has been on the
down grade for some time, and 1t was
hoped that when Captain Plant took charge
of it a change for the better would be OBJ
served. There are some twenty-five OF the
owners of names on the roll who Go not
put in an appearance in the ranks at all,
and of the balance only about fifteen at
tend drills ON an average. This state OF
affairs could not be allowed to continue, OF
course. If the State would pay enough to
uniform and equip these companies, there
would be no difficulty in maintaining
good cadet company in this city, but the
pittance allowed-$33 per months only
sufficient to pay armory rent captain
Eisenmenger, some two years ago, raised,
through his personal eXeruons, about S9oo
with which he uniformed the company at
that time but times are hard just at pres
ent and our citizens have been taxed
heavily for other matters, so that the OIL
GERS did not feel justified in soliciting sub
scriptions for this purpose.
Captain Plant will be appointed Paymas-
ter on the staff of the Colonel commanding,
vice Lieutenant Geo. 7. Bush, removed
from the county. ~
Battalion drill be held at the armory
Monday evening, January 18th, at o'clock.
1t is the intention of the commanding
officer to order out the city companies for
parade on the 22d of February, if the day
is at all pleasant The drill will probably
take Place at Agricultural Park or in the
field adjoining Richmond Grove. where
there is ample room to perform all the
evolutions in battalion drill.
