Eugenie to Visit Irelnnd-The Free Trade


Question.


La France of Paris says that the Empress Eugene
win visit Ireland at an early day.


Napoleon has ordered three hundred thousand
copies OF M. Rouher's speech on free trade to be
printed and distributed to all the projects Of France
and by them to all the mayors OF communes and
other functOnaries NJ. Rouher was obliged to leave
town Immediately after the close of the debate for
his country house at Sercey, where he has been in
the hands OF his physician.


The Paris EpoQ,te of May 20 has the following
The proectionists 10 is announced do not consider
themselves beaten the question Of free trade The
opponents OF the treaty OF commerce have resolved,
are assured, to renew the discussion respecting
the economic regime when the subject OF the dcQts
d-cdUtiOn and temporary admission Of foreign raw
material comes before the Chamber. The legislative
body Is therefore threatened with another interpea
tion the object being precisely what the free traders
justly consider concession made to the self-dubbed

The Impeachment Plot-JOhnson Without Any


Friends-Probable Peaceful TermInation Of


the Affair - The Tickets to tho Show


Troubles in the Custom Houses.


WASHINGTON, March II, 1868


The al-important subject Of impeachment con-
tinues to be the engrossng topic Of conversation
here. Every phase Of the question is earnestly dis
cussed the probable issue Of the trial and the eject
that viii be wrought by 1t on the affairs Of the
country. Doubtless since the country first took its
place among the nations Of the earth no political
movement has occurred which has had so powerful
an influence upon the nation as the impeach.
ment measure promises TO exercise. II is
not o little interesting to examine into
the views upon the question as held by
men OF different shades OF political opinion In order
to reach the real convictions OF such persons in re-
gard to the necessity or expediency OF harsh and
extreme measure as the trial Of the Chief Execu.
tive Of great people upon charges OF the character
Of those preferred against Andrew Johnson.


Your correspondent, feeling q deep interest I'm
learning what are the true convictions OF the more

No very extended inquiry Is needed to induce the
conviction that the number OF those men in the
republican ranks who sincerely believe that the Presi

before High Court of impeachment, and that such
trial is now positively requisite for the peace and
prosperity OF the country, Is very small. These men

of this country before them, seize THEN
papers, letters and telegraphs, and pry into
their secret and private affairs, without
dae process of law, place them under ar
rest without warrant, and imprison then
without right, and all done in the name OF
republican liberty. Yet to these measures
both Grant and Colfax give their approval
nay, one Of these very star chamber inquls
itors is the very man who appears in pub
lie with Grant as his spokesman.


1t is not to be wondered at ihat these
nominations excite no enthusiasm any
where in the country. The face of tl.t
ticket is we'll enough. but the endorsement
is bad The same set OF men who opposed
the denomination Of Lincoln, and organi

aoT The colored man has the right to vote be-

Was Mr. johnson liberal " in 1865? He
not only dictated suffrage to these Southern
States by saying who should vote, but he de-
clared that three hundred thousand white
men should not vete. He went further and
said, that not one of these, thus banned.
should practice profession, or make or re-

The Albany (Georgia) News, demo-
cratic journal, after the recent election in
Georgia, and the Atlanta Lntelligencer, an
other democratic journal, copied without a
sign of disapproval, the following refec-
tions upon the results of this first election
in that state in which the colored men
voted:


Early in the canvass we appealed to
the white people of Middle and Upper
Georgia to save Southern and Southwestern
Georgia from the horrible fate that threat
ened. Heavy malorities for radicalism
were naturally expected from the black
belt and for the same reasons that induced
this conviction, the white settlements were
expected to 90 democratic. We are aston
ished at the reversal of this natural order
of things, and feel SO keenly the deep dis
grace and stinging humiliation, that we
dare not indulge our inclination to write


. At one time we entertained a purpose
TO change our base, In the event of radical
success, and seek repose among the white
people in a different portion of the state !;
hut the developments of the election have
fastened upon our mind the conviction that
the negro is a better man than the white
scalawag, and that we suffer by the change.
There seems TO he as much political rirtte
md integrity among the colOred people Of
Southeastern Georgia, as eriSts among a
zargv portion Of 1clites IN Middle and Up
per Georgia, and we proudly assert that
t7ey are safer custodians Of the franchise
IFe see no reason longer to oppose negro
Sufrage We are disposed to make him
voter In order to rescue the state from car
pet-baggers and scalawags."


A considerable number of white Geor-
gians, itseems, voted the Republican ticket,
while a number of the blacks voted with
the democrats and thereupon follow these
words of the democratic writer 1t would
seem, then, that the true qualification for
voter Is that he shall vote the democratic
ticket


But tie admission of the Albany Ne,rs
is important, because it shows that in
Georgia the two parties are already divid-
ed upon other issues than that of color.
