\ SCENE IN THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.


The curiosity to see and hear Thomas
was great The old man-absurdest poss-
IDLE figure for any conceivable conspiracy


appeared in full uniform, and under the
influence OF one or two drinks more than
he should have taken, was at first a trife
TO talkative for the interests of his own
side. Mr.. Stanbery, however, kept him
pretty well in hand, and when the exam
ination-in-chief was ended, the general
feeling was that, after all, neither the
President nor Thomas had intended any
thing so very bad. He had received no
instructions whatever from the President
save the written order to discharge the
duties of Secretary of War ad Interim,
had held no previous consultation with
him, had never been authorized directly
or indirectly to use force in the matter
had first been asked by Stanton whether
he would give him time to pack up his
private papers, had at Mr.. Stanton's So
hcitation taken drink with him, had
reported to the President, and told, very
well, go on and discharge the duties of
your Office The" Delaware Boys" talk
with him had been simply the fastening
upon him of bore whom he had tried to
get rid Of and to whom he had returned
jocose answers. The whole story seemed
plain and straightforward; it was told
with bluff franknsss, very well becom-
ing his gray hairs, his uniform, and his
forty years of army service. Furthermore
Mr.. Butler had made one or two unwise
efforts to prevent the introduction of parts
of this testimony, and on the submission
of the question to the Senate, had been
voted out of sight.


At last, however, it came to Buffers
turn to cross-examine; and the poor, old,
feeble-minded and slightly intoxicated
soldier fell into the hands Of the spoiler

A few months before the nomination Of
Grant, under the head of ."The Duty Of
the Democratic Party in Certain Event"
the Pittsburgh Post, in the course OF a
careful editorial article said:


Suppose that, contrary to the wish Of
some of the leading Radical Black Re-
publiesus, who want the Office themselves,
Gen. GRAFT should be nominated for the
Presidency by the Republican party what
course ought the Democratic party to pur-
sue? Ought We TO nominate man in
opposition to General Grant? Ought we
TO charge him with being an enemy to his
country, or in favor Of unjust measures,
merely because he may have received said
nomination.


We are inclined to believe that more
depends upon General Grant now than
upon any other individual in the United
States. We believe him to be far supe-
rior to the majority Of the far sighted
policitians who have been ruling the na-
ton without bringing peace or economy
to our legislation. lie is known to all
the people as straightforward man, aud,
so far as eau be judged, a man we'll dis
posed to deal fairly with the people Of all
sections Of the Union.

What better thing can we do in case Of
General Grants nomination by the Re-
publican party than to vote for him for
the Presidency? Our aim should be to
strengthen his hands; to render him as
much as possible independent Of party,
and to elect him as the President of the
people. If unanimously, so much the
better.


We solemnly believe that If the people
generally of the United States can come
together with real unanimity on General
Grant, Ia regard to the President, it will
be the happiest thing for our country that
could occur. The future good effects Of
this course are almost incalculable. We
earnestly ask our Democratic friends
everywhere to consider this subject care
fully.
