The Republican parly have chosen
their leaders, and will go to battle for the
Presidency in November next with Grant
and Colfax as their standard bearers. The
office of President is one of great respon
sibility, and the American peopde will not
allow it tilled without inquiring closely
into the character of every aspirant. In
this regard Grant may “thank his stats
that he has no political record that will he
laid bare to the inspection ot the people
hv the keen wits of the Democratic party.
While this is true, it is also true that he
has a military record, which in the light
of the blaze that will be thrown upon it
by the Democracy in the coming canvass,
will reflect but .little honor upon the
mighty chief. From the weak and puer
ile attack at Belmont, to iho magnificent
butchery of the Wilderness, the keen
sharp eyes of his opposers will follow him,
and Lringiug up the thousands dead that
might yet be living, as witnesses, make a
strong case to prove that the man who
counted blood as water, and sacrificed the
nation's, sous is not the man to preservo her
honor and retrieve her prestige. Alto
gether, the hero will find that his military
career will be greatly iu his vray, and
coupled with the little hit of politics
which he adroitly picked up about the
War Department previous to tbeimpeuch
meut of the so called “Accidental,” will
make it about as difficult for him to secure
the whitehouse ns were his efforts to have
it vaunted. Colfax is a more popular man
than Grant, and luckily for him, being at
tho tail of the ticket, will come in for less
criticism than will be heaped upon his
lender. Yet his case will be satisfactorily
attended to, no doubt, by the thousands
of well posted Democrats, that iu Novem
ber will giro him better employment than
presiding over the Senate. Of course
these men are now publio property, hav
ing accepted (lie positions offered them,
and many things will be brought to light
bearing upon their fitness for the places
to which they aspire, that otherwise might
have been Kiel iu darkness forever; and
as their positions and records are uufolded
to us by those of superior ability, we will
givo them to our readers. •
At <|l ITT Ala.
Every device of Radicalism to bring
about the conviction of the President
has failed, as w ill he seen from the tel
egraphic news iu another column. On
the 2l>tli iust. the Senate went to vote
upon the remaining articles, and tho
itnpeachcrs were defeated, tho vote be
ing the same upon the 2d and 3d arti
cles as upon the lllh—35 to 19. We
say they were defeated, for upon ascer
taining that they could not get the re
quired majority, a motion was made
and carried for an indefinite adjourn
ment. This, it is believed, is the end
of impeachment. The Radicals are
badly disappointed, and notwithstand
ing their admitted ability at concealing
their real feelings, cannot help show
ing it. Their curses of the Radical
Senators who voted for acquittal are
lend and deep, Grimes and Ross com
ing in for the largest share; ami not a
few of the Radical journals are throw
ing hot shut at Chief Justice Chase for
the part he has token in this great po
litical drama. Private dispatches say
that Stanton has yielded the war office
to Thomas, much chagrined because of
the failure of the Senate to support
him in his claims thereto. As unlock
ed for as are these results to the Radi
/•ulu 4h.»vr fftl I to VPFV KP.IMft tlftl V
affect the party and its interests. Im
peachment was a trump card in a big
game and it didn’t win, and the party
who played it are in a fix, from which
it is hardly probable they will redeem
themselves before it will be too late
for the furtherance of their purposes;
i. e. the retention o( office and of power.
A raradlse tor Urbliirs.
It is proposed to admit Arkansas in
to the L'uiou with the Constitution
said to have been adopted receutly.
Among other striking provisions in
that Constitution, the article on "ex
empted property” provides that the
personal property of any resident, to
the value of two thousand dollars, and
a homestead to the value of five thou
sand dollars, shall be exempt from sale
on execution or other final process of
court. This leaves a pretty good for
tune in the hands of a debtor, amount
ing to seven thousand dollars. He
may snap ills fingers at any creditor,
or any score of them, to whom he owes
from S5U to tT.000 each, and live on
undisturbed with his seven thousand
dollars worth of property.—The Radi
cals are charged pretty generally with
a propensity to plunder. But the
Arkansas Radicals are determined that
creditors shall make no raid on debtors,
und that the Radical rascals of that
State shall not be subject to any judg
ments at law for their debts. At all
events, they shall forever be worth
seven thousand dollars, if they please,
to be in good personal and real pro
perty, and no creditor shall endanger
a dollar of it. We wonder how much
such a constitutional provision will
add to the credit of citizens of Arkan
sas? Or, whether it will tend to induce
traders to extend credit to the people
of that Slate.—[St. Louis Republieau.

i Senate.—The following amendment j
• was offered by Mr. Drake to the Arkan
sas bill:
It strikes out all after the enacting '
clause and prescribes as tbe fundamen
tal condition to the admission of that
slate, the passage by the legislature of
an act declaring the constitution adop
ted in the convention, Februrary II,
1S68, and subsequently ratified, shall
never be so changed as to deprive any
one of the t ight to vote at any election,
who by its terms now is or may be
come a voter, except as punishment for
crimes which are felonies at common
law, and whereof the party shall have |
been dnly convicted ; also declaring j
the third section of the fifth article, in
tlie following words: “The equality ot J
all persons before the law . is recogniz
ed and shall remain in force, nor shall I
citizens be deprived of any right,
! privilege or immunity, nor exempted
j from any burden or duty, on account
of race, color or previous condition,”
shall ever remain in force: and any
! change or repeal of this section shall
authorize tlie exclusion of said state
! from representation in congress, so
l long as such violation continues, and
ail law's in contravention thereof shall
| be wholly inoperative. Upon the
: passage of such an act by the legisla
ture of Arkansas, by a concurrent vote
declaring tbc provisions of (his bill
complied with, (he slate shall he ad
mitted to representation in congress.
House.—The impeachment commit
tee, acting under authority granted by
the resolution of the house on the 16th
inst., providing that for the more clh-1
j cieut prosecuting of impeachment the j
i managers are instructed to summon
! and examine witness under oath, to,
send for persons and papers, to employ
a stenographic reporter, and to appoint j
a sub-committee to take testimony, j
have attended to their duties so far as \
tliov have been able. Because of mat- j
tors hereinafter stated, they beg leave ;
to report, in part, as follows : - j
In pursuance of the resolution, they
appointed a sub-committee, of which,
Butler was named to take testimony, i
-Charles C- Wooley, of Cincinnati, ap
! pea red before the committee on Tues
| day, the 19th inst., in answer to a sub- j
I puma. After various objections on
1 ids part, and an admitted attempt to |
i avoid, Mr. Wooley was examined by i
the sub-committee with some very j
! considerable delay, because of his refit- I
sal to answer some questions, his
i evasion of others, and bis interpretation
! of rights and privileges which he ,
claimed and attempted to sustain by j
argument until the time of the session j
I was exhausted for a day. lie was or- I
j dered to appear before the committee i
| again on the morning ot tiie 20th inst., '
i but did not appear until after one
, o’clock, and after the iioiii-o had ad- j
jjourned until Saturday, tlie 23d inst.,;
and thence until Monday. After that
I adjournment he could not be brought
! before the house for contempt. At the \
second appearence of Mr. Wooley be
, lore the committee, a majority of the
( managers being present, Mr. Bout well :
| was chosen chairman protein, Mr.
Bingham being absent. The examina
tion then being about to be continued,
the oath was again administered to j
Mr. Wooley, and inquiry attempted to :
be proceeded with. After being asked j
whether he desired to change or alter
anything in his testimony given yeslcr- '
day, Mr. Wooley declared he did not j
consider he was under oath the day be- j
fore, or that ho had given any testi- •
mony whatever. He was then asked i
if what lie had stated to the committee j
yesterday was true, to which he deelin- 1
ed to answer, alleging, in substance,
that Iho oath administered by the ,
chairman of the sub-committee was i
not binding. He w as then a-ked what j
disposition he made of the sum of $20,
000 or $25,000 which lmd been referred
to in It is testimony of the previous day.
They had reason to believe this money
had been raised for the purpose of
corruptly influencing the trial of the
president, and to this lie refused to
answer-—To every question which l
would lead to show where the money j
was obtained, and the purpose for;
o ldeli it was obtained, hi' whom it. was
furnished aud iu w lint manner paid, he
declined to answer, alleging, only, that
it was not used for any purpose con
nected with the impeachment of the
president.
The report concludes by asking the
house to visit upon him severe and ,
exemplary punishment.
Mr. Curry ottered a preamble, that,
Whereas, The national honor re- j
quires the payment of tlie pttblie j
indebtedness at home and abroad, not
only according to the letter but the
spirit of tlie law under witich it was j
contracted ; therefore be it.
Resolved. That neither the letter nor ■
the spirit of tins law under which the
5 20 bonds were issued requries the
payment of the interest iu ruin, aud it
will be in the utmost good faith if the
holders thereof be paid iu the same
money with the soldiers who (ought
the battles of tlie war, and iu which the
government settles the claims of wid
ows mid orphans, the same which la
borers are required to receive as wages,
and which is a legal tender except for
certain duties and the interest on the
public debt.
Mr. Van Horne, of New York, uiov- j
ed to refer it to the committee on ways
and means.—Mr. Ross moved to lay it
on the table, but the question was deri
ded in the negative ; ayes 7, as follows ;
Baldwin, Blair, Dixon, Jcnks, Mallory
and Washburne ; nay's D2. The pream
ble and resolution were then referred
to the committee on ways and means;
yeas 75, nays 27.
Mr. Chandler introduced the follow
ing, which was referred to committee
on elections:
Whereas, It is the boundcu duty of!
every people preserve its posterity |
from every evil influence of bad govern- \
uient and demoralization, bv a wise1
foresight mxl :i firm manner of cstab

lion to array the black race against the
white, by puttlu g arms in the hands of i
tlie slaves, and by promising tbelli
freedom and the rights to vote ; there- j
fore.
Uesoi.vek, That we now deem it the J
duty of congress to declare that the!
original absolute and exclusive doinin-j
ion in and over tlie United Slates and ,
territories is lodged, and of right be-j
longs, to that people in the respective
States of thin Union; that, ns these
descended from F.uropcau ancestors,

The Journal's Washington special,!
referring to Butler's investigating re-!
port, says itis full ofgarbled teslimouv.
but the argument is Ingenious, li
makes a soil of showing by implica
tion, which is skilful because it is
complicated. Among other things it
associates Weed, Shook. Wooley and
Webster, who, as it declares, wore con
sulting together at (lie Astor House,
on the 4th of May, about tlie purchase
of senators to acquit the president,
they being at tlie time in correspon
dence with tlie private secretary of
Mr. Johnson. That Wooley gave a
dinner party in Washington soon after
his arrival there, which Iho president's
counsel attended; deducing from Hie
fact the knowledge nod complicity of
Mr. Johnson. The Gcul. Adams, a

touch it, because it was not feasible;
and that Thuriow Weed refused to bite
from sheer cowardice, though Weed
testified that funds could easily be
raised. Adams' plan was to pay >30,

arc not given, however. The report
evades the testimony of Nyo and
Pomeroy, whieli corroborates the testi
mony of Cooper; they differ only as to
the ligures.—Cooper said lie was offer

From Mr.ntphid Apf. ;t j

There is no erideiwje w lritovc' of an

nominal ions in any ;>ai i of ttn L ntrd
Slates. In the nomination it i ll thche
was a show of oiianiniit v nml enthusi
asm att he ton vent ioa. Hen. Grant was .
nominated oiianiinotisly on tin1 first bal* .
lot nud there was great cheering and a
dramatic Unrolling of his porti lit, and ,
waving of hats, and hurrahs. Hut llie|
nomination in every part of thu coun
try has fallen upon the public sense
liki some expected cveni w hich could
not be avoided, merely because matters I
drifted in that way, and not by any
means because it was desirable or usetui
Hrallt himself held a Conlerfncc with
Colfax to discuss tiie plaUoiui, when il |
was determined, as a matter oi com -c,
tliatit wasa most sublime sirokcol pol
icy. 11c was also serenaded at bis res
idence and made his appearance to de
clare that lie was no orator and did not
desire to lie, perhaps been list lie thought
himself sbWier enough to compensate
for any other defect; and then in1 also
referred to his past record, as evidence
of wluit lie may be expected to do nthe
future President of the L idled States.
All this is mere commonplace and
means nothing. Nor is the reception
given by the press and people to the
nomination any more siguilieaut. in
some of these oracular expression*!
firant ia spoken of as r. second Wash
ington, while it is evident to overt
reader of these extravagant eulogies
that the writer himself is well aware
that he is engaged in a ridiculous at
tempt to manufacture a great man.
The platform is variously eommeiif
cd on by the journals supporting the
ticket. Some apologize for the dilu
ted moderation, while others speak in
depreeialion, and other* again in ap
proval. There are yet others who do
not believe in platforms, and think the
history ot Hie party is the best evidence
of its future purposes. We agree with
the latter. Ti e platform is notli.e..
or if anything is a studied effort to re
concile conflicting ideas ill the party,
and to gloze over antagonisms, ’inrun
sisteneiesaiid rivalries. The resolution
regarding impeachment is as negative
as could bo framed, with the known
it lias engendered, it pronoun™* im
paa^liment just, Pul oiliii•? to condemn
those {Senators who tailed to take that
view of it. Thus the St. Louis Demo
crat alter a lengthy effort to reconcile
its indellnitcncMs with the known feel
ings of the party concludes si-* .otloivs:
‘•The phraseology ol the resolui ion is
due to such eonsUlonilioiis ;ls hear
mentioned. Hut its meaning every rea
der knows. No school hoy can here
its plain and strong w ords without teci
ing that tluy brand with dishonor the
men who disregarded obligations so
plain. I it hey can find any consolation
in the resolution, they are welcome.
The people, whose deliberate judgment
the re-olution expresses, hive also
strong feelings which they will express
by votes rather Ilian by any words. '
livery journal has its own explana
tion, in cording to ii,e inspiration and
tone of it- thoughts and the supposed
character of its readers.
On the same resolution ior example,
the Cincinnati Commercial, which is an
apologist for the “recusant" .sen ators,
tutored these pliilniitlirt.picul opinions :
‘•’I lie aula o .ism- \\ liich have grown

would have'been very likely to pro
duce trouble; hut that a majority of
those in the Convention were in lacor
of the Presidents, conviction is no uex
tothc xvorld. although xve should have
regarded it in heller taste for such a
Convention to expia s-s no opinion up
on a matter >o solemnly •committed to
the coiisiilu ional court for its adjudi
cation. It is au expression of opinion
upon a thing which is already among
the events of the past. No one could
suppose that it could afiect or ho cx

far as it. ran he regarded a- an indorse
ment of the action id' the House of
Uepresentat ix es iii presenting the arti

evi ii as an indorsement it may be quite
as iusl to consider it a- smoothing over

lict-ling in any way upon Mr. Trumbull
and bis associates. Those grutleiuon
pai ly, and welcome (fen. Hutier and
l lie managers to all the consolation they
can derive from the resolutions on this
subject.”
The whole extent of it is that they
are all quieted by (lie platform anil
nominees, but none are exactly satisfied
There is an absence of po iliveucss
and fanatical zeal in the whole proceed- i
ings, which is the result of disscutious '
and discord, and which must material
ly impair the energy of a party which
lias been built up and sustained by the
noist mad and extreme expedients.—
The uitraism of the party lias spent its

Would it not be logic d .to predict a de

It must go under. Fessenden. Trutn- !

have destroyed their influence with the
