Wanted—A Candidate. The Democracy are in a bad way for a Presidential candidate. The party is divided into so many factions and so many diverse interests,, that it seems impossible for them to unite on any one man who can hope for anything like a cordial support from the various sections of the country. Their record during the war is so fresh in the minds of the people that they can not hope to have it forgotten. They can not defend it with any possibility of success, nor can they hope to varnish it over so as to deceive any intelligent class of voters. If they nominate a man for the Presidency whose conduct during the war was in keeping with the party record, they know they will meet with overwhelming defeat. We believe they would prefer such a candidate if the ghost of a coming defeat would "down." Thon again we hear some talk of a military candidate for the Presidenc}', and a consistent Democrat for the second place on the ticket. But the crushing defeat of McClellan and Pendleton iu 1SG4 forbids the idea of their trying such a hazardous undertaking again. And so they stand, afraid to lay their hand upon anj* man for fear of a sudden necessity of taking it off, and yet still more fearful of laying it on another lest a greater necessity suddenly appear for dropping him.
Here in the "\Vest, Pendleton was the first candidate in the field, and it was hoped by some of the ardent in this section that he could work over the track without difficulty, and receive the popular vote by reason of his peculiar views on the greenback question. But his pecular views struck the Demoosacj* of the East in an}r other than a favorable manner, and when tliey saw the conimotion he was creating here in the West, they began to devise ways and means whereby to quench his aspirations. By a little shrewd manipulation they have succeeded in having the city of New York selected as the place for the meeting of the National Convention, and it is wholly improbable that Pendleton and his "peculiar views" can overcome the united influence of August Belmont and the host of Wall Street brokers who will be arraj'ed against him. ..The party has recognized this fact, and arc daily canvassing for some new man for the nomination. Hancock was talked of, but he poor soul, ruined his chances, if he ever had any, by selling out to Johnson. He fought well during the war, too, and that was also against him. Sherman was talked of, but his speech at St. Louis at the meeting of the Army of the Cumberland, hi which he scored the Democracy and displayed too much of a tendency toward Radicalism, and so they let him slip. The name of Farragut has been on their lips, but he fought against them during the war, and actuall captured New Orleans and so many other Democratic strongholds that he would not be popular with the masses of their voters. Another obstacle to a scheme of that kind is that he has no sympathy with that paily., and they could hardly prevail upon him to accept so doubtful a compliment as their nomination. jtforc latterly they have talked of Chase, who it* directly opposed to that party in every essential principle. A man who has '"been a life-long Republican in principles, and who last year came from Washington City to Ohio to cast his vote in favor of striking out the word "white" from the constitution of that State. But so anxious are they to secure some who can make some show in the race, that the xaiaor necessity of a unity of principle is to be .entirely overlooked in their candidate.
And so they go. They havp already searched the land and the sqa, and are yet without a candidate They 'fail to be satisfied with men from their own ranks as well as from ours, ilud where they are to look next is more than we can surmise. The ranks of private and public life, the army and nav^y, have all been searched, and no man can be found to suit the ideas of this mongrel party. Surely this great party is in a health}* condition when no man in or out of its ranks can be found to suit them in the coming race for the Presidency.
impeachment.
The President's twelve days of gaace expired on Mondaj*, and promptly on the organization of the Impeachment Court, his attorneys appeared and filed the President's answer to the impeachment. The answer, with the other proceedings, is too volumnious for our Columns,
At the conclusion of the reading of the answer, Mr. Evarts moved a further continuance of thirty days to afford the President time to prepare for the trial. After a long discussion by the President's counsel and the House Managers, the mOtiou was rejected by a vote of twelve ayes to fort}' na3rs. This vote is significant of the temper of Senators respecting impeachment, and was strictly a party vote. Failing to get thirty days, the President's counsel signified a disposition to take less, and a motion to grant ten days was made by Senator Johson, but pending this motion the court adjourned. On Tuesday the Court re-assembled, and granted the President till Monday the 30th, to make preparations for his defense, at which time the trial will proceed.
Sheriff.
We notice that Mr. Wm. H. Focst, foreman at the Review office, is announced as a candidate for Sheriff of Montgomery county. Mu. Foust is a clever gentleman, and a brave soldier, as we can testif}7, having served "with him in the same company eight long days, and we did our dead best to subjugate John Morgan and his band of horse thieves. As the Rtvieic asserts that Mr. Focst "renounced his allegiance to that rotten organization" (the Republican part}*) we suppose lie does riot want their rotten votes. Rest your soul in patience, Bill, the bogus Democracy will not give you a nomination, while the clique have other pets to reward.
The trial of Jeff. Davis, originally set for the 25th of this month, and formally postponed last week by Judge Underwood to the 14th of April, will, it is thought by some persons, be again put off till about the first Monday in May. This further change will be made by the Government for its own convenience., v.,.-
The banking house of N. Long & Co., of Russellville, Kentucky, was entered on Friday by five men, and robbed of nine thousand dollars in currency and an unknown amount of private deposits. They shot Mr. Long, and knocked him down. He subsequently recovered and gave the alarm. A general shooting commenced, during which Jill-. Owens was slightly wounded. The robbers then escaped to Frankfort.
An English person by the name of William Morgan, acting in behalf of a Committee of that humane monied interest in England, who loaned the rebel government money on the basis of cotton security, sends
a
communication to
the N. Y. Herald, protesting against the injustice of compelling the unrccon structed States to repudiate the rebel foreign debt. The argument is over whelming, and is in substance that the credit of the Southern
States
is debauch
ed by this enforced repudiation, and they wont be able to borrow
a
shilling
in Europe until they are allowed to pay their virtuous English creditors. The most overwhelming argument is that by paying this debt our bonds would
vast
ly appreciate hi Europe, These gentlemen who are victims of misplaced confidence in the Jeff. Davis government ought to see that they have no claim against the United States. They liavp however, a luminous chance of reiiri bursement. Their remedy is by civil suit against Jeff. Davis, Judah P. Benjamin, Secretary of the Treasury Trenholm et al. The judgement could doubtless be sold at par.
Dr.Tboma8W.Fi7.
Mr. Editor:—Dr. T. W. Fry having been announced as a candidate for Congress in the 7th District, his fitness and claims should Jte taken into consideration b}' the people among whom lie has. lived so long. He is known as a true, unflinching, and able defender of the principles of the Republican party and slicmld he be selected as its standardbearer in the coming contest, no doubt can be entertained that the party to a man will rally around hira. Hie served the country faithfully and laboriously during the long struggle for national supremacy over "State Rights" and treason and his election to Congress would be a fit recognition of the obligations the country owes to those who forsook all else to follow its flag to a {inal victory over the enemies cf Liberty and Union.

Naturalist.
From the American
The? Crlniidal Banff y, for|»ville, iDdlw il Montgomery county, offwfiicji fordisyillse is th§ county s|at,||jci|j|n, the Subcarboniferous formation, being just north of the northern out-crop of the Indiana and Illinois coal-fields. A large part of the country is covered with a heavy drift. Rocks in places, however, crop out abundantly on Rock (Sugar Creek xn some maps) River and its tributaries. These rocks are rich in fossils characteristic of the Sub-carbon-iferous strata varieties of Productus, Spirifer, Terebratala* Contilaria, eet.
But the fossils which have, excited the most interest, and which have rendered this locality specially noted, are thie beautiful Crihoidea: Along the banks Of this river are strata of limestone, made up almost entirely of the broken stems and arms of Critiiiids, cemented by carbonate of lime, and occasionally containing heads finely preserved.
But the geological horizon in which the heads Of Crinoids are inostty found, is a calcareous shale or sandstone, of quite limited vertical extent, not much exceeding two feet in thickness, and often but six or eight inches. In this the Crinoids are abundant, and in great perfection, the arms and basil plates being well preserved, yith stems at tached, and not unfreqiiently even the finest tentacula. T^iey are mostly of the following types: Actinocrinus, Cyathocriiius, Agricocrinus, Platycrinus Forbcsiocrinus, Scapihocrinus, Zeac_riOtis, and Pentremites. The Criiioid beds have been wrought by some of the citizens of Crawfordsville for fifteen or twenty years, prominent ainbhg whom, as most persevering and entitled to the greatest credit, both for ekplpring and working out specimens, is Mr. O. W. Corey. He has furnished beautiful1 specimens $0 the Smithsonian Institution, Harvard University, Yale College, Michigan University, Wabash College, and also to many private cabinets. These beds have been fexplorfcd also by the students and professors of Wabash College, who have enriched fier cabinet with choice specimens. The College secured by purchase of Mr. Corey, several hundreds of choice heads, finely wrought out, fit for the cabinet The "Bank nearest to Crawfordsville is the most productive, but the same strata are found cropping out at Island Ford* on Offiel's Creek, on Walnut Fork, on Black Creek, as well as at several other points On Rock River. .. A
The most extensive excavations have been made by Mr. Charles Dyer, of Cincinnati, an enthusiastic collector of Western fossils, some years since, and quite recently by Mr. Frank H. Bradley, of New Haven, a successful collector of specimens of Natural History. This bank is situated half a mile north of the city, in a bluff seventy-five feet above the bed of the river. The out-croppings have been so far explored that deep and heavy excavations are requisite to reach the Crinoidal horizon.
Crinoids or Encrinites are radiates belonging to the class of Echinoderms, found chiefly fossil and extinct, there being but two living species, the Crimatula and Pentacrinus Caput Medusa They are so named from the resemblance in form to the lily. They are among the most beautiful and wonderful fossils we .r have.
The Enorinite consists of a calcare ous root, a hollow jointed stem, a vasir form, or cup-shaped base upon its top from which proceed arms With sulxli visions upon sonie of the arms arc found very fine tentacula^. Besides the fixed Crinoids, there were others which were free, and some imbedded in mud.'
Crinoids exist most abundantly in the oldest fossiliferous rocks, belonging to the Palaeozoic and Mesozolc periods* so abundant are they in some localities in the Palaeozoic localities, as to give character to the rocks, as Crinoidal' Encrinital limestone, and' are found among the earliest of fossil animals. For along time their animal origin was disputed, till established by Rosinus, iii 1719,
A large proportion of the generadescribed belong to the Silurian formation The Palaeozoic species amount to about five, hundred, and those in thie rocks above to nearly one hundred.^E. O.

P. S.—Since the above was written, excavations have been made under the direction of Prof- James Hall, Palasointologist, of New York, and at the^ present time Mr. Frank H. Bradley, Assistant State Geologist of Illinois, is making a second extensive excavation for the benefit of the State cabinet of Illinois. The result of his first exploration was purchased by Wabash College.

A Powerful Patron.'
During the war a young Lieutenant, with a bran new shoulderrgtrap, took his' seat with a rather plainly, dressed lady iM one of our railway trains, The following conversation took place between them—the shoulder-strap leading off thus: "Madam, have yon any relatives in the'warT* *"1' /•'_ "Yes, sit'i

Theodore Tilton and Gen. Lew. Wallace. The first, was a veteran, who has, fpught long and successfully in the politic arena, and who has. now laid ,aside his Veaip'on's of ifiirfare "to Mtt/ghr in' the peaceful pursuits of citizen life, with the grateful benedictions of his countrymen upou hi^ .The, A^pond. was a young mail-, wKc/Ms

The eyes of the Senator would sjprlt kle with enthusiasm as he related. some reminiscence of Congress thirty-years ago, when he was the youngest member of that body when Webster Day and Frelingliuj^sen were at the. zenith of their fame and among them was the. following singular fact, tliat Webster inisteadof raising the tones of his voice into vdhe hiiencc in the forcible and eloquent pas sages of his speeches, always sunk them into a, deep bass, and/seemed perfectly cool and collected, whiie Clay wpuld summon1 all his energies, and so give vent to the feelings of his impassioned nature "that the veins of his forehead would stand

like wl^ip-cords. Fropi
reading the speeches of these two imep, one would suppose just the 'contrary.
Thus the evening pasS6cf' siway,.Enlivened with rejQuniscences and riqh' and jacy anecdotes, and,. it was indeed the wine of life to listen to these great men. Each personal matter seemed an-event in the nation's histoiyi7. The pleasures of the evening heightened by the faculty which, the accoinplished ladies of the house possessed of making their guests feel perfectly at home will not soon be forgotten.
Gen. Wailace^^is putting iqion canvas gome sketches which he took of Lincoln's assassins, while Vice President of the court which tried them. The theory of the picture is hovel and interesting.

The
General says he was a desperate charac-ter,-and during the. trial whenever he found himself the object of attention, would draw himself up to his full proportions, and glare at the crowd like a caged tiger. The picture reflects great honor and credit upon the artist^ and when finished, will doubtless command much compliment.

Commenting on the above, the Tribune says: .r We quote from the'"iC)pinLoii of Attor-nej'-General Black upon the powers of the President." "To the Chief Exeutive •Magistrate of the Union is confided the solemn duty of seeing, the laws faithfully executed. But his. power is to be used only in the manner prescribed by the legislative department.He cannot accomplish a legal purpose by illegal means, or breafe the laws himself to prevent them from being violated by others. The acts of Congress- sometimes give the President broad discretion in the use of the means by which they are to be executed, and sometimes limit his power so he can exercise it only jin a certain prescribed manner. Where the law directs a thing tp be done without:saying how, that implies the power to use such means as may be'necessary amV proper to accomplish
end of the Legislature.
But where the mode of performing a duty is pointed out by statute, that is the exclusive mode anil no other can be followed.. The United States have no common law to fall back upon when: the written law is defective. If, th orefore, ah act of Congress declares that a certain thing shall be done by a particular officer it can't be done by a different officer.: The agency which the law furnishes for its own execution must be used to the exclusion of all .others."
If J. Black, as attorney for A.Johnson, can manage to controvert tlie above opinion of the Hort J. Black, Attorney-Gen-eral, he will perform a feiat wliich will make him worthy to stand beside the great apostate whom. he: must take for his example.

Is the President Insane I Und 3r tliis caption the New York Sun gives ah elaborite hint to Mr. Johnson's couhsel in the approaching trial: It connects together 411 the Reading incidents of Mr. Johnson's cai eer .since his eleyatiQn to office, and contrasts them with the character he previously sustained, and argues that nothing less than insanity can account for the: change.— On the one side we have his meritorious industry,and perseverance in early life, raising ^himself in a way that every American must be proud of, from the most indigent circumstances to a verjr high position, and his clear Union record in a faithless State. On the other hand we have his habits of hard drinking, iiis conduct on inauguration day, his "swinging round the circle," his outriigedus speeches, and his insane obstinacy to the will of Congress. Take in connection with this the remarkable testimp ny..pf General Banks, Preston King and otlier prominent men, that the Presiderit was wo^drtfnk, and could not have been drunk on the day of inauguration, and. we have at least a plausible ground for a verdict of insanity. We have not much hope, that this plea will be made, but it would be the best that could be made. The people whom Johnson has outraged are not vindictive. All the}' 'want is to get him out of the way, and they would rather do this in pity than in anger. The plea of insanity would save his credit though not his ofiicc.
~w o. call especial attention to the remarkable -unanimity with which the Senate has disposed of' the question whether it is a constitutional Senate, or only a Rump. Mr. Davis, of Keiitn?ky, moved to suspend the Impeachment trial
the ground that the_ Constitution required alL the States "to be represented, and inasmuch as ten States were unrepresented there could be no legal trial. On this question only two Senators were silly enough to vote in the affirmative, forty-nine voting against it. This is the finest rebuke yet given to those who talk of a Rump £pngress,' and s_eeing that it not a party vote, but that Democrats1 and Republicans united in declaring the legality of the Senate as now composedr.we think it time the noodles who have been prating abou its unconstitutionality should cease their clamor.—Ind.
