'Tis True 'TiS PITY.

1t is said that an editor recently an
nounced that for just one issue he would
tell the truth, the whole truth, naked and
unvarnished, says the Lyre. That is, the
truth was to be naked and unvarnished.
Here is one item from that issue:
"Married-Miss Sylvia Smith to Mr..
James Carnaham, last Saturday, at the
Baptist parsonage. The bride is a very
ordinary girl about town who doesn't
know any more than rabbit about cook
ing, and never helped her poor old mother
three days in her life. She is not beauty
by long shot, and has s. gait like fat
duck. The groom is known as an up-to-
date loafer and has been living off his
mother all his life. They will have a
tough time of it."

Mr.. Ross is a ready conversational
list on the subject of the impeachment
trial of President Johnson. He was a
Senator from Kansas at the time of
that impeachment, being at first ap-
pointed and subsequently elected to
fill out the unexpired term of Gen.
Lane. At the time Of his appointment
he had just returned to
Kansas from successful cam
paign with the Eleventh Kansas
cavalry III Southern Missouri and
Northwestern Arkansas, having par
ticipatcd in the battle Of Prairie Grove.
and had been mustered out with the
RINK Of major.
In speaking of the impeachment
trial he said: the Impeachment
movement was in very large sense
if not entirely. a partisan enterprise
1t had its origin in partisan differ
ences, and was based mainly on differ
enees as to public policies at issue be-
tween the two great parties of the
country and whileit was expected that
every political friend of the President
would vote against impeachment, it

party fealty. that every Republican
Senator vote for his conviction. 1t
was largely instigated by desire for
spoils. President Johnson, was stub
born. impolitic and unyielding. His
predecessor had let the members of
Congress have pretty much what they
wanted. Had President Johnson pur
sued the same policy of granting pat
ronage to members he would not have
been impeached. The entire patron
age of the Government was promised
and farmed out in the interest Of inn
peachment and Senator Wade's eleva-
tion to the Presidency, who wa. presi

line of succession"
During the trial Washington City
was filled with office-seekers. all for
impeachment Resolutions aid peti-
tions for impeachment were sert in
from almost every Union State. The
Republican press was unanimous for
the Presidents conviction. Ths force
that was brought to bear upon Repub
lican Senator's was tremendous.
Throughout this period Senator Ross
had remained non -committal. but the
impeachers believed he would vote
with them. But the Senator was more
patriotic than partisan. and had Sec
