'.'hr impeachment trial so takes up the
ace of the lending newspapers of the
untry that it is almost impossible to
F-ilier anything else from them. W«
Imre heretofore refrained from saying
much on this subject, from the fact that
«> hadn't much to say. With all the de
\ clo) u.ents of the trial thus far, before Us,
we can arrive at no more definite conclu
5.011 than that expressed sometime since:
Thai » rhe President will Ire impeached
became the President is in the way of the
Radicals, and for no other cause It is
certainly a ridiculous farce to see the Sen
ale of the United States sitting in trinl
*pus the President’s esse, with solemn
faces and learned looks, hearing the 'argu
ment for and against, when tSio country
knows that not one of them will be the
least influenced thereby, thoir opinion
having been formed before a witness was
examined. This impeachment is a Radi
cal trick to secure the next Presidential
election, for their own party believe that
were they certain of success this Jail no
effort would be made to get rid ofJohn
oon. But it was necessary to remove him,
•and such tricksters as Butler, Began and
•others were the anew to >do it. The jus
tice er iujustioe of this course is fully in
dexed by the character of the men partic
ipating in it. The Radicals olaim that it
is for the country’s good, and as the coun
try's champions havo selected such men as
Butler, and Logan, and Stevens, where
are the people that would not pray to be
delivered from such defenders of their
rights. The Radicals say Johnson is a
traitor, and they who support him are cn
■Muks to the government; yot his defend
ers are such able jurists as Stanbcrry,
Hearts, Judge Curtis awd ethers. A
reading or the argument of the two sides
shows plainly the difference between the
parties. Butler, with his bullying, brag
ging harangue, represents the “people”—
the greut Radical party—while those who I
would support the dignity and character
it the executive office (branded as traitors
by the great party) are represented in the
clear legal argument of Judge Curtis, and
the earnest eloquence of Evans. Butler
and his associates have finished all their
witnesses and have failed entirely to make
n caso. But that makes no difference;
they are bent on accomplishing their pur
posas, and unless a very extraordinary
pre-ssure of public opinion is brought to
bear upon this subject, we may expect to
hear by our next issue that the last great
iniquity of Radicalism has triumphed, and
the President is impeached, for we hon
estly believe they will do it.
Emigration to Africa.
The ship Golconda Bailed yesterday
from Baltimore with cargo for Liberia.
After leaviug this port she will call at
Savannah, Ua., where she will receive
four or live hundred colored passen
gers for Iffheria. The colonization
agents says lie could send a vessel load
every month, such is the desire among
thu colored people of the South to go
to Liberia. We are informed that
among the emigrants are men of intel
ligence and enterprise, who will be a
valuable accession to the Liberian Re
public. We noticed some time ago the
petition of a large number of colored
men in Mississippi to Congress to aid
them in emigrating to Liberia, and we
observe that lately another petition for
the same object lias been presented to
the Senate from several thousand col
ored men in Georgia, Alabama and
South Carolina. They represent that
they are destitute, without employ
ment, and cannot hope to overcome the
disadvantages of their position in the
South. Perhaps the vast sums which
the Government appropriates for freed
inen's bureaus might be appropriated
more advantageously in aiding the em
igration of those who desire to go to
iaIUlTiu. x ut iMJn * um aiiiivs)
ulating upon (lie causes of this desire
for emigration among the colored peo
ple of the South, well says:
“It cannot l>e because Congress has
not legislated enough for them ; it lias
done little else but legislate for them
lor years past. It cannot be because
the iloverninent and tlie people of the
Xortli have not helped them, and en
couraged them and instructed them.
We have sustained tlie Freedmen’sBu
reau for their benefit, and have seut
numberless political and educational
missionaries among them. May the
terrible state of things not be owing to
the fact that our legislation lias not
been of the wisest kind, and that we
have looked rather to giving them po
litical advantages, iustead of encourag
ing the great productive industries
upon which blacks as well as whites
must depend for their existence? If
we would keep the Southern blacks out
of their crushing miseries, we must
adopt such means as will secure social
order, material prosperity and good
feeling in the South. Without this,
things will go on from bad to worse,
till decay and ruiu become permanent
under the sway of military dictators.”

After the reading of the journal, Mr.
Bingham commenced the final argu
ment for the prosecution. Protesting
that he took part in these proceedings
from no partisan feeling, but with a
weighty sense of their solemnity and
true meaning, he theu proceeded to
I sketch the events attending upon the
assassination ot i'resiaeut Lincoln ana
the accession of Andrew Johnson to
the 1‘rcsideucy, and referring to hie
oath to execute the laws, spoke of t Air
majestic supremacy in our form of gov
ernment, aud claimed that the Presi
dent was equally subject to their au
thority with the humblest frontier set
tler. lie dwelt on the high trust com
mitted to the Senate, aud asserted that
the issues of life aud death hung on
their decision; he asked how thecharge
of violation of supreme law, was met
by the couuscl, who for hire defend
the treason of the criminal respondent.
it wag by the outrageous assertion that
each branch of the Government had the
right to judge of the constitutionality
| of laws, and obey them or not at plea
| sure. This was the defense. Mr. Bing
ham held that the ^enate, by uphold
ing this proposition, would lay the
foundation for monarchy first and an
archy next, a reign of chronic darkness
on this issue which, in spite of lawyers1
tricks aud special pleas, was the real
question involved ; and their decision
must staud for trial by the people. He
repeated that the question was whether
the President could bo held to answer
for a violation of law. He held first
that the Seuate had the sole power to
decide every question of law or fact
arising therefrom, and also that they
were the final arbiters, and the frequent
attempts of the counsel to bring the
Senate and Courts into opposition to
each other were miserable devices to
I divert attention. He would not, he
said, imitate the eloquent counsel (Mr.
I Everts) who bad shown himselfan eater
' up of syllables, a snapper up of trifles,
1 and who bad displayed uuwe Latin thau
isw inor# rhetoric than logic ; and re
i
fcrring to the length of Mr. F.varts ■
speech, said that "he tried to render it :
immortal by making it eternal.”
Mr. Bingham said lie simply held
that the Senate Was the supreme and
ffnal judicial tribunal of the tTnited
States, and as to the argument which
had been made at such Interminable
length, that the Supreme Court was the
Court of the last resort of the decisions
of constitutional questions, he held had
no more to do with the present ques
tion than the Court of St. Petersburg,
and that the judgments of this tribunal
should not he affected by decisions of
the Supreme Court, made before or af
ter the impeachment trial. He argued
that the criminal Jurisdiction of the
Supreme. Court did not extend to im
peachments, and that the reference of
the counsel to its decisions were irrele
vant, sard their arguments on this point;
were without colorable excuse. He I
then considered the proposition ad
vanced by the counsel, that the heads
of departments were merely the regis
tering Secretaries-of the President, and
bound to do his Will, and readlngfrom j
the decision 'of the Supreme Cobrt!
quoted by Mr. Rvarts, he claimed that
it was therein plainly laid down that
such officers were hound by the laws
and wet. by the President’s will. He
also claimed that the other positions
claimed by all the President's cowncft,
that he could sit in judgment on the
Validity ol laws, was overthrown by
the decision of the same tribunal thirty
years ago, which decisions had never
been questioned, awd proceeded to read
extracts from them. He further assert
ed that the ex-Attorncy-Gencral was
wholly inexcusable in attempting to
force into this trial the decision of the
present presiding officer, in the Missis
•_•____- . J_J
that it had no relevancy whatever to
the question in dispute, lie claimed
that it was proved that we could not
allow the President discretion as to
which law he would execute by inter
preting the words of the Constitution,
and referred to the act of Washington
in suppressing the whiskey insurrec
tion, and that of Jackson in crushing
out nullification, as instances in which
obnoxious laws were executed by Pre
sidents who entertaiued grave doubts
as to their constitutionality, and at so
spoke of the constitutional question
involved. He then discussed the con
stitutional provisions relative to the
passage of bills over a veto, maiutain
taining that every one who lias learned
to read can plainly Bcttle the question,
whether or not, the President broke a
law. Referring to the recitation by
Nelson, he contended that it had no
bearing on the case, and that Jcflcrson,
its author? was not authority in regard
to the Constitution which lie did not j
help to fVaine; and reading the list of1
powers granted to the President b$’ tlie j
Constitution, be called attention to ttie ;
fact, that no power of suspending laws, I
until their validity is tested, is any
where giveu him, and held that such a !
claim of legislative and executive fnne-;
tions was in contravention of the ex- j
press terms of the instrument. He in- ;
sisted that this claim involved also an I
assumption of judicial powers, and j
characterised the entire proposition as j
too absurd to be submitted to children,
as by the exercise of this assumed pow
er the President could suspend legisla
tion of all kinds; he could prevent the
creation of Judicial Districts, the erec
tion of States, and the election of Re
presentatives. lie then spoke of the
enactment of the revenue laws, and the
acquiescence of the American people
in the unconstitutional and iniquitous
fugitive slave law until its abrogation, ;
and in this connection dwelt at length
ou the subject of slavery with its vari
ous characteristics.
He spoke of Ihe counsel's reference
to President Lincoln, and that ho had
violated the laws of his country, and
furnished many precedents for Presi
dent Johnson's crimes as bold, calum
niating slander on his memory, and
said tlie suspension of the habeas cor
pus was not by him, but by the civil
war, which rendered it necessary.
In regard to the passage of the in
demnity act, he said the purpose Con
gress bad in such legislation was to
I furnish authority to tlie courts to dis
miss cases brought against the Presi
| dent’s agents for wliat they bad done
| in pursuance of the Constitution, and
if their acts had been unwarranted,
I then 'he Indemnity law would have
i been of no avail.
The Senate then took a recess, and
on reassembling, Mr. Bingham resum
ed, and referred to the argument of Mr.
Evarts based on a successful resistance
to the Brokers’ Tax law, in New York,
ns au insult to the Senate, and said the
ouc capable of making it whs not fit to
argue great laws; uud, in short, he
could destroy the framework of our
constitutional Government, but wheth
er lie shall be allowed to do this, is the
question now to be deternpned, and for
a righteous.decision the prayers of mil
lions now ascend, as to what crimes can
be considered impeachable; he said all
ofrenses under the common law arc iu
dictable in the District of Columbia,
and the same class arc also impeacha
ble ; if this proposition were not self
evident then be need not argue it, for
ns to the offenses specified iuThe arti
cles, he held that no one could denv
that an open violation of law, by the
President, was an impeachable crime ;
he said the defense of the President, as
exhibited in his auswer, rests on the
assumption that he possesses the right
to resist, and bring to a judicial deci
sion anyhow, which be supposes to
trench on his constitutional preroga
tives ; this assumption could be made a
pretended excuse for refusing to exe
cute any law whatever; and referring
to the question by Mr. Evarts, he read .
(Yom a pamphlet written by Mr. Curtis ;
in 1802, tlie expression of a contrary
view, which he commends as good law.
lie went on to assert that no man who
did not admit the assumption that the
President possessed judicial a* well as
executive power could deny hit writ- '
i ten orders, or fail to prove that he was
i worthy of conviction. Mr. B. then
1 cited legal authorities to show that
' averment and proof of evil intent are
lot necessary in proceedings against •
iny class of persona, except judicial of- I
leers. With regard to the defense that ;
he President suspended Mr. Stanton
inder the Constitution, and to supply
.he vacancy under the law of li95, he
■laimed that the President's answer j
ihowed a violation of ttie law, for tliat
irnited the tenure of such appointments
lo six months, and the President ap
[fuinted CJen. Thomas for an indetiinite
period. He then spoke of the argument
lint the President is bound to inter
vene to protect tire people from ■uncon
stitutional laws, and said it Wn ft fal
lacious position, as the peopel are the
guardians of their own honor, and Con
gress is responsible only to them.
At this point" Mr. Bingham yielded
to a motion to adjourn, and the Court
and Senate adjourned accordingly at
1:60.
--
The Election.
From tho Now Orleans Picayune, April 26.]
The election has gone against us.
The Constitution is ratified against the
all but unanimous protest of the pupu
lation whose political sovercighty it
abolishes, by a violence from without
which is essentially revolutionary. It
will be found on the final record that
but an in-significant number of Whites
has consented to this iniquity. The
majorities for the constructiou in the
parishes where emancipated blacks are
numerous, arc astonishingly large, be
yond all prededent in elections before,
iwid beyond all possible proportion to
the real population. The following
figures speak for themselves-- £jt. James
gives over 1,900 majority, when all the
negro male population, of all ages, is
barelv 4,000, and the whites fife 840.
An honest majority of that magnitude
is simply impossible. The same may
be said of the majorities of 1,500 in St.
Charles, 1,400 in Assumption, 1,600 in
Ascension, 1,150 in Tensas 1,800 in
Madison, 1,600 in Concordia, and so on,
wherein the majorities are in some
three times greater, and in all largely
irreater thnn the wlidfc lawful vote
ever cast before, and are out of the
range of being possibly fair. They
show than it is the negro vote which
has overbalanced the white vote, and
how it was effected. The new govern
ment is revolutionary in its d»gin,
African on its basis, and tinted all over
with fraud. It will go into operation
with these seeds of disease in every
party of its framework, li it shall he
a good government; if it shall not fol
low the law of its parentage, to fulfill
the very conditions of its existence, and
shall not be an instrument fornumixed
evil, it will disappoint greatly the fears
of those wlio have watched the travail
of the monster in its birth. If any
good come out of it, it will be a miracle
we have no right to expect.
Very probably no possible effort of
the old population of the State could
have averted tills catastrophe. They
were disarmed in advance by a pro
scriptive aud dishonest registration,
dictated from abroad and enforced by
bayonets; they were bound in chains
by" their enemies, aud delivered over to
the hybrid faction within, to do its
supreme will upon ns. The political
managers at Washington had an object
to accomplish in enslaving us, and they
did their work thoroughly, as they be
lieved. If they had not so believed,
they would have extended their pro
scriptions to make it move sure. Ilut
with their military machinery and
their Freedmeu’a bureau, to manage
to bribe and delude the ignorant black,
their carpct-bag emissaries sent on in
shoals to organize loyal leagues and di
vide the spoils of office with the servile
and purchasable whites of the laud,
that they were sure from the first resis
tance would he hopeless, even if des
pondent honisianaus could rousetliein
oclvos to the effort of protesting and
contesting, with all oftlte privilege of
speech they were permitted to retain
in their own land.
Reviewing t he ground, we are certain
that the constitution could not have
been defeated by any effort. To this
extent, there is an extenuation for the
weakness which prevented many well
meaning citizens from going to the
polls at all, because they felt that vo
ting was useless. They were subjuga
ted in advance, and the struggle was
not wortli the effort.
MDr-Mr. Uroesbeck's speech in de
fense of the President lias created a
great sensation in Washington. The
telegraphic correspondent ot the Cin
cinnati Commercial speaks of it in
terms of warm commendation. He
says:
The speech, from the first sentence
to the last, was a splendid effort; unde
niable in its statesmens, almost resist
less iu its logic and beautiful in its dic
tion. No audience has ever been more
completely under the chain of a speaker,
aud no speaker lias ever more cxliaus
tivelv or more ably treated a subject in
the Senate chamber. If lie had occu
pied eight hours instead of four, there
would nave been no complaints from
those who listened. Mr, Curtis has
given the law of the ease, and Mr. Nel
son the politics. Mr. Groosbeck seem
ed to combine both without losing the
force of either, and to adel occasionally
In*,mi v itft>xni-ession which was etitlYe
ly new to flic^asc. Hi* points agalnt*
tlie different articles were singularly
clear and conclusive.
On the tenth article, which relates to
the President’s speech, h« indulged in a
vein of satire which was strong as Doan
Swift and plcasaut as Sidney Smith.
He read the text ofa bill which lie said
would do as substitute for that article,
proposing a punishment of line and
imprisonment against any one who
shall speak disrespectfully of Congress
or its acts. This was enjoyed, especial
ly by Fessenden, who felt its bitter hu
mor, and by Reverdy Johnson, whe
laughed at its sharp irony.
The first man to congratulate Mr,
Groesbeck at the close of his masterly
address, was Ben Butler. Chief Justice
Chase had already doue so during the
fifteen minutes of recess at 1 o’clock,
though he had then hoard only the first
aud by no means the best part of what
was to be said. The city is full to
night of Mr. Groesbeck’s praise, from
hundreds who never saw or heard ol
him until to-day. It is universally
c.ouceded that no man has ever made a
more favorable impression in a public
speech.
MrThe Now Orleans Tribune, said
to be the only paper in the United
States owned and edited by negroes,
aud the onlv oue thus constructed in
the South, lias suspended for want ot
support. It supported Taliaferro foi
Governor, and the native State ticket,
and consequently was deprived of all
official patronage, The Picayune pass

skill and integrity of its management.

The Folly of (he Time*.
Nothin* like the kind of government 1
the Radical party are now trying to '
make this is described in history or
ever entered the minds of men before.
The idea of a government, one-half
controlled by intelligence and cn- 1
ligliteninent and a superior race, and
the other half by ignornnee and the
most inferior of all races, could only
have originated in a frensied fanaticism
It is both impracticable Hnd abhorent
to all the prejudices of our race, aud is
the old story over again of a corpse
lashed to n living hotly. Thcdcud man
cannot more therefore (lie living man
must perish. The corruption and
■stench oftfhc One inevitably destroys
the other.
There is n natural and instinct repug
nance against vlose association of
equality With tbo negro imlplmftod in
the white man by Hod himself, Which
he cannot overcome if he would. He
cannot admire the color, the peculiar;
conformation or the odor which exudes
through the negro’s evcv pore. He
cannot admire the ignorance of the ne
gro or become reconciled to his brutal
habits and propensities. He may be
kind to him, nud it is his inclination to
lie so; but he is kind to him because it
affords him no pleasure and he feels
that he has no right .to do otherwise.
But when it comes to admitting him to
a position of social equality thcnatuHB
repugnance manifests itself and the
white man recoils from the disgusting
proposition; and when it is proposed
to pat him til a position of political
equality, both public and private
interests exclaim against it. Common
sense and the experience of Wiawkind
demonstrate that no government -can
absorb any considerable amount of
ignorance in the management of its
affairs, and escape sorrows and perhaps
irreparable Wjtny therefrom. An
ignorant population will be more than
likely to select ignorant representa
tives, and thus inexperience and stupid
ity is injected into every department,
there generating blunders and irregu
larities which must aooner or later de
stroy the nation.
It’is not pretended even by the most
intense Radicals, that the establishment
of nesrro >rovernments in the South will
be of any advantage to the •atwn at
large, except as fttonishiog a guarantee
against future rebellion, and that is a
shameless pretext. The arguments is,
that it is absolutely essential to the
security of the negro that he shall be
armed with the ballot, that he may by
its use restrain the great body of the
white population of the South, who
are supposed to be his mortal enemies,
and who, it is argned, are seeking his
destruction.
. How the ballot will protect him per
sonally, if it is true that the white popu
lation are resolved upon his extermina
tion, is not cxplnincd. How it will
protect him politically,unless he is put
in control ot the governments of the
States, is equally mysterious. It cer
tainly cannot secure him against vio
| lence in the one case, or cnaole him to
frame the laws in the other. It can on
j lv be of service by making the negroes
I the riding class aud placing the white*
under their feet. This is precisely
i what the extreme Radicals are working
1 for. Not that they have any love, ad
' miration or sympathy for the negroes,
j for they have not, but simply and solc
1 ly because they believe that they can
| use them for their own advantage, and
f through the political power which they
: will wield under their manipulations,
1 enable them to retain the reins of gov
; eminent. The interest* of the white
i race, the general prosperity, the good
i name of the nation, and the perpetuity
I ofrnpublican institutions arc eonsidera
; tions of minor importance. They are
ready to adopt any expedient, no mat
ter bow corrupt aud ruinous, which
; will give them promise of success ia
II tic Presidential election. Their politi
| ml pliltnsuplij extend* no further than
j that. They have lived in lnwless de
-tiancc of the Constitution and the laws
for the last six years, aud they imagine
that they arc a law unto themselves.
Their t hief idea is to tyrannise over
| the people and plunder the treasury.
[ So long os they can do this they are con
tent that the’ Government shall drift
toward anarrhv. Whether they will

lainy by the great popular verdict ren
dered in the last elections against
them remaius to be seen.—[Louisville

whole ticket tor Mr. Clark, and a half
ticket for himsolf in the Havana Lotte
ry. In this enterprise nothing was
drawn, and, a couple of days before his
departure from Havana for New
Orleans, he purchased a half-ticket in
the Madrid Lottery for $20 in gold.
I cuiiltn I niM'/u in this erhntnfi w»a
$150,000, and Mr. Glasgow, tho next
day, hnd the good luck to hit the capi
tal prize—but, holding only a half
ticket, he obtained but one-half the full
sum, which was paid to him in gold.
Mr. Glasgow was expected in the citv
lust evening, and his singular good luck
is the theme of general conversation in
! business circles.
Star At a dance near Independence,
I Mo., on the 17th inst., James Raney
' got into a quarrel with another man as
' to which had the right to occupy a
; certain place on tho floor. John Bow
! lln, the husband of Raney’s partner In
| the dance, told the parties If they did
| not quit quarreling he would take his
{ wife and go home. Raney told Mrs.
B. to come on, and when Bowlin turned
to his wife and told her to get her bon
net, Raney shot and killed him instan
tly. Raney and Bowlin had been
friends for many years.
Staff*A Buffalo paper says; “Elisha
Cook, Esq., formerly of this city, has
jnst prosecuted to a successful conclu
sion, iu California, a lawsuit, in whieh
the property recovered Is valued at
$400,000, and Mr. Cook receives for his
services one-fourtb of the amount.
Other suits, similar as to title, involv
ing four times the amount of property,
and in which his interest is the same,
follow this, and will undoubtedly be
decided iu then same way. His entire
fee, therefore, in this case, will amount
to $500,000.”
lor There was an informal caucus of
Republican Senators in Washington on
Saturday night, and it was decided
that there should be no avoidable delay
, in bringing the impeachment trial to a
i conclusion. The movement in favor
of a postponement until after the
Chicago Convention, developed but
1 little strength in the meeting.

accounts of highway robbery nightly
committed on the roads leading out of

n favor of the conviction of President 1
rohnson, spoke a* counsel always do j
o a packed jury, lie concluded his t<
ipeech with this sentence: “Let him r

ibscurity.” It were well indeed for t'
lid usurpers if President Johnson
would retire to "his village and obsenr- 11
ty.” The day of his conviction will i
je the day of damnation for the Radi- fi
usTpirty-^it will be the beginning of
in impeachment prosecuted by Jolm-1 t
ion, “solitary and alone,” before the
iieople, who will pluck up the Radical „
eaders by the forelock*. President
JtrhmtOn retire to “his village”! He t
will go to Castle Garden, and have a i
bait million of Democrats for nn andi- r
snee. He will go to Democratic Bos
ton, and shake Fancuii Hall to its foun
dations. He will go to Democratic
Chicago, and invoke the spirit of Dou
glas, which, like a flaming sword in the
heavens, will be overbid bead. He will
go to Democratic St. Ltrttfs, and tnove
t he heart'Of the Great West, “fteturn
to his village and obscurity”! Nay.
President Johmron will even vhritLan
caster, the “village'’ 'of tbe “o fA man 1
miserable,” who will ask for tire bootm- |
tains to fall upon him, and yearn for '
obscurity to save him from the wrath ,
of an indignant, oppressed and insult- j
ed people. President Johnson will ap- i
peal from the judgment of a corrupt
Congress to the nation ; and before the
peonJe he will argue his own esnse. ''
The circle he will make will be like the .
one of the “Magic Wand,” and ho will 1
