conduct of the Impeachment Managers in their
present investigation but foretaste of what
would follow with such men in power? Here
we have all the personal rights of the citizen
invaded at once. Without any process of law
whatever man is deprived Of his liberty and
thrust into cell at the mere bidding of poll
teal bully. The secrecy of the telegraph and
Post Office is violated as no man would dare
to violate it in despotic France. Men who
do such things merely because they have the
power will know no limit but that of their
power in enforcing their will. With the gov
ernment in their hands and administered by
their tool we would see law passed in Con-
gress to give the government the same author
ity over the Northern that it has over the
Southern States, and Grant, with the Habeas
Corpus act suspended, executing that law


In the success of the radicals the people
may foresee the supremacy of such principles;
and in supporting the opposing party they give
their voices for the supremacy of the constitu-
ton and return to the old established order
of our government. This is assuming that the
democrats will nominate Chase. We believe
they will do this for the simple reason that
Chase is the only man with whom they can win.
They can elect no other; and it is only
question with them whether they will elect the
Chief Justice or be beaten. Chases name
indicates the principles of the party that
sustains him. He is the only man of great
intellect in our politics who has conspicuously
stood for the conservation of a government of
law and opposed the fury of the radicals. He
made his first point against these extremists
in the courts of North Carolina in determining
against a military order of General Sickles,
and he has consistently pursued the same idea
through this great effort to remove the Execu-
tive by political inquest. His conduct on this
trial stamps him a man of exalted character,
uncompromising honesty and resolute to do
what is right.


In the history of one party and in the posi-
BILE candidate of the other men may see what
each aims at, and may determine calmly
whether they will go with the radicals in a
revolutionary change toward despotism or
with the conservatives for an assertion of the
supremacy of the law and for securing the
rights and liberties of the people

law does not require us to fence al
all, yet good fences are a great pro.
lection against intruders-twO leg
ged as well as four legged. Clean
up your door yards, and If you have
not already planted trees in variety,
do it at once. Don't neglect to
make your homes beautiful and
pleasant, and then complain that the
children are discontented and want
to get away from home. Make a
home they will look upon with pride,
and they will not even desire to leave
it. We, as farmers, cannot expect
to remain behind every one else in
Improvement and retain the respect
OF even our own families.

Now is the time to plant onions aud
onion seed, parsnip seed and early

Look to your hot-beds now; give air

of the weather increases. Plant
radish seed--lOng scarlet and red
turnip are good varieties SOW spin
ach at short intervals for greens.


Those that have neglected to make
a hot bed can now SOW tomato seed
in warm border; SOW little turnip
seed for early use; set out cabbage
plants after the middle OF the month
they will grow as soon as oats
come up. Mind this is the month to
plant potatoes. If you want good,
sound tubers, free from rot, give
them time to manure themselves be-
fore the weather gets extremely hot.
Plant early corn for table use
Adams early and red cob sweet are
perhaps as good as any other varie-
ties for the first planting.


This month of all others is the best
to put out new plantations of that
queen of all berries, the strawberry.

So he took her in his arms and be-
gan to carry her across the muddy
road, feeling his way in the utter
darkness made more intense by the
trees of a forest that bordered the
road. She yielded herself readily to
his grasp, and reclined her head so
contiding UPON his shoulder, that he
was encouraged to whisper in her
ear, "Mary are you married ?" She
answered mo" "Are you willing to

He sealed the promise with tlfc usual

The House impeached Mr.. Johnson, and

White House, attended by Democratic

to-day voted to impeach the President.
These comprise the events Of to-day in q

The vote on impeachment was quietly

announcement of the result, though the
immense audience present listened to the
proceedings with profound interest.


The quo aoarranto mentioned last night

It is expected that the case against
General Thomas, to be tried by Judge
Cartier day after tomorrow, will be de-

will be certified to the United States

| FUNERAL OF MAJOR DooLEY.-The fune.
raj of Major Dooley, on Sunday last, wal
an honor to the community as well as a
moral for mankind. Hehad come to Rich.
mond q stranger, and by, his conduct had
entitled himself to the respect Of all
classes Of the population. Yet he was un.
pretending, unaffected, and proceeded in
all acts of kindness and beneyolence with
an appearance of sincerity and sympathy
that utterly precluded suspicion Of any
motive other than pure humanity. His
piety was as unaffected as bis charity, and
his cheerfulness and good nature were in!
exhaustble, and shed their warmth and
glow wherever he appeared. His life was
one of peace, while he was brave man,
and proved his courage in the highest
range of dauntless spirit-in fighting for
his country.


For these noble qualities, unaffectedly
and unselfshly displayed, he had won the
esteem-nay, the affection--of all who
knew him and hundreds who did not; and
the funeral Of Sunday was the expression
of public sentiment. It was an example,
honorable to men and beneficial tosoc:ety. /.


It was one of the largest funerals ever
Witnessed in this country The main fea-
lures were the Ambulance Corps, the So
ciety of St. Vincent de Paul (Catholicl (of
both Of which he was member), the rem
nant of the famous First Virginia regiment
(of which he was an oficer), the orphan
girls of St. Joseph's Asylum, the boys of
the Catholic school, other societies, and
citizens. The family and immediate friends
had their appropriate place in the long
line. $50


The procession was formed at the dwell
ing Of the deceased, but was immensely
extended on taking it's way from the
church.


Only small portion of the immense
multitude was enabled to enter the
church; and the streets in front and at the
side of the building were pretty we'll filled
by persons waiting to do honor to the
memory of the deceased by joining in the
procession to the grave.


The impressive ceremonies Of the Church
were performed, accompanied by the
grand music adapted to such occasions.
Bishop McGill preached the funeral SER
mon, making q powerful argument upon
the fate of all men to die, and the solemn
duty of all to so live as to be prepared for
that event. He made an eloquent refer
ence to the character of the deceased. At
the conclusion of the discourse the pro-
cession was reformed, and proceeded with
the body to the old city burial ground,
where it was inferred. But few, however,
of the multitude which joined in the pro-
cession got near the scene of interment.


The procession extended for very many
squares, and constituted one Of the most
impressive tributes to the memory of one
departed that was ever beheld in this city.
Thus has passed away John Dooley, one
of the most useful Of our citizens-philan-
thropist, friend, Christian.

GOLD.-G0ld has reached I50, and
d good ia. Vi Excitement prevails
In The uuaucial world. The Travel
IerS financial article says:


Many OF the leading dealers
seem wild with excitement, and are
predicting that the New York ring
will will pat the price up to 200 in
less than a month. and eventually as
high as it was during the dark days
OF the rebellion. The rebels, they
say, through the influence of the Pres
ident and his friends, have already OBJ
tanned control Of the government
and If the election goes against them,
they will have power to bankrupt the
Treasury and revive the war. The
strangest stories about future ruin
are most readily believed, and we
merely repeat the foregoing predic-
tlons as a specimen OF them. The
rise is very simple; few capitalists
have obtained possession OF nearly
all the floating gold In the country
and have put the price up to make
money by it. The only question is
How high can they put it before
the demand for it will cease? In the
meantime foreign merchandise pur-
chased on time, when gold was l40
or less, and now to be paid for, will
make their holders feel very anxious.
A general advance in articles of for
eign produce, to correspond with the
advance In gold, can alone enable
macy traders to meet their obliga-
tions. We understand that there is
almost a panic in the sugar market in
consequence of the rise in gold"
