MR.. sTUBB'S SPEECH.

Elsewhere will be found the very
able speech Of Hon. Harry Stubs OF
Martin, ON the Impeachment Case,
delivered In the House.
Mr.. Stubb- gives q very full 70
view of the White case, and bases
his argument against impeachment
on the decisions of the court for the
past fifty. years in such cases.
He proves clearly and conclusive
ly that these distinguished Justices
had good ground for rendering their
decision In the White case and their
subsequent action.
He says, eff the opinions of the
court in the last two years were eff
forts to thwart the will Of the Leg
islature, then the court has beer
guilty of that offsnse for the last f1f:
ty years."
Wonder If there would be any at
tempt at impeachment If all thu
Judges of the court were Democrats
We will leave this question for the
ralm decision Of all conservative anG
fair-minded men.

question then naturally arises,
what 10 the governing motive be-
hind the impeachment procee dings?
Is the ballot stuffing machine

Court for deliberate, malicious and
wilful violations Of the election
law?
Are the Justices to be i'm peached
or pers cuted because of these In.

TO SAVE THE AMENDMENT.

TO SAVE THE AMENDMENT.
Col. Olds in his correspondence
says:
"A Democratic official speaking
about the impeachment matter
said 1t may have been impolitic to
have begun 1t, but that having be
gun 1t the party would have to 70
through with 1t, for If not our
amendment is gone.n
THE CAUCASIAN in its first com.
ment on the Introduction of the
impeachment Resolution declared
that the real motive was to pack
the court to subserve the political
ends Of the ballot-stufYing ma
chine, and the above interview
from democratic officials" is con-
flrmatory Of our view expressed at
that time.
This Democratic ofiicial'' boldly
states that Notwithstanding the
unwisdom of their action, yet i'm.
peachment must proceed lest "oul
amendment is gone."
This explains fully the conduct
Of the revolutionary Red.shirt ma,
chine. It is the amendment they
want to save.
