"Jolin M. Butler for Congress.'4 An article in last week's Iievieiv over the signature of "Republican," contains some statements that demand attention from us. Assuming for the present that the author of the article is what he designates himself, let us see what kind of a figure he cuts in the singular company Ave find him. His first statement that the contest in this Congressional District "is assuming so bitter and acrimonious a character, that every lover of Republican ascendency may well tremble for the result," is something entirely newj for which a patent would undoubtedly be granted upon application. Since the contest for the nomination has narrowed down to two gentlemen the discussion of their merits has been characterized by most excellent tone and language, and we challenge the production of a single line, either from this or any other paper in the District, that is ''bitter and acrimonious." Indeed so well has the discussion been conducted that at times it seemed that the papers advocating the claims of Mr. Orth andGeueral Wallace respectively have struggled with each other to see which could excel in saying the most good things about the man they were opposing.
The JOURNAL has never openly announced that for certain reasons the claims of none except those of General Lew. Wallace would be advocated.— This paper we are aware always spoke well of the claims of Mr. Butler and has reproduced the favorable notices given .'/him by the press in various parts of the
District, a course which was highly proper. When we took charge of the paper, however, the contest, both as for this county and the entire District, were concerned had narrowed down to Mr. Orth and Gen. Wallace, and we therefore pronounced in favor of the latter gentleman. The statement that "Mr. But ler was the first choice of a large majority of the real Republicans of this county for Congressional honors is made for the first time, to our knowledge, by "Republican." We inquired diligently about the matter and from expressions from the rank and file of the party in this county we are satisfied the statement of "Republican" is not well founded.— "Republican" is well satisfied that this paper "has fallen into the hands of a clique." If it has the clique is composed of the entire Republican party of Montgomery county. Has '•'Republican" overheard of the man in the streets who raised the first cry of "stop thief?" We suggest whether "Rebublican" does not from the place and circumstances under which he appears, raises at least a suspicion that he is trying to divert atattention from his own efforts in the way of a clique. Let him be certain that his skirts are clear. j,
The article, however, contains too manj* absurdities to permit us to believe that any genuine Republican could be its author. In the first place, the apology for his appearance sn the columns of a Democratic paper is the merest shamHow did lie know we •would publish nothing complimentary to Mr: BUTLER We have never said we would not, and he was not even fair enough to give us a trial. Again,' "Republican" charges the "indiscreet friends of Gen. WALLACE with "following up the slanders brought forward against Mr. ORTII, and building ^WALLACE up by his downfall. Now, if he dislikes this style of building men up, why does he seek to build Mr. BUT
LER up by slanders against Gen. WALLACE? Your precept is good but your practice wretched. But toward the close of the article the disguise is torn aside by the hand that penned the article. 'Wliat is there in Gen. WALLACE to
recommend him to the loyal men of the District?'' asks this Democrat writing under the assumed name of "Republican." Why did you not ask your Democratic readers, "What is there in Gen. WALLACE to give us the slightest chance to defeat him V" That would have been more to the point. Had he been one of the "real Republicans" he would not have indulged in his flings at Gen. WALLACE'S sitting on the trial of the murderers of Mr. LINCOLN. Indeed the whole article is so keenly tinctured with Democratic, virulence that we cannot believe any honest, fair-minded Republican could have written it. We are assured that we. shall hear from "Republican" again. If he lie, as he professes, a member of the Republican party and has anything to communicate for the good of the party, let him come to the JOURNAL and first submit his communication to us, and if we refuse to give it place he can then go to Democratic columns. If the article was written with the advice or consent of Mr. Butler it was a very unfortunate step for that gentleman. We do not believe it was, however, nor do we believe it was written by a man who wishes well to the Republican party, and unless Republican hereafter is refused admission to our columns, our readers may rest perfectly assured that he is a Democrat sailing under a false flag.
Since the above was in type we have received a card from Mr. BUTLER withdrawing his name from the Congressional race. The card will be found in another place. This convinces us that the article in the lieview was not written with the knowledge of Mr. BUTLER and that no true Republican is its author.
Impeachment/
The great sensation of the past week, has been the conclusion of the impeachment trial, and probable acquittal of Johnson. It is claimed by knowing ones, that money has been lavishly used by the President's friends, and the votes of at least eight Senators purchased. It is well known that the proposition to raise eight millions of dollars for this purpose has been openly advocated by certain leading Democratic papers. Grimes, Fessenden, Trumbull, Frelinghuyson, Sprague, Anthony, Henderson, Fowler, and Ross, are said to be the mercenary Republicans, who are about to sell their souls to the devil for a paltry dollar, turn their backs upon the party that has made them what they are, and give over finally and forever the government into the hands of rebels and traitors. They will be branded deeper than Cain and their infamy be far more damning. Better had it been have sold out to Jeff. Davis six years ago and saved the country its billions of treasure, fighting a rebellion, than now to lose the vantage ground gained by victorious arms. We think a final vote will not be reached before the latter part of next week, before which time, we hope to see such a tremendous moral pressure brought to bear upon those "shaky" gentleman, as shall awaken them to a just sense of their duty, to themselves, iheir country and their God.
Grant Club.
The Grant Club met on Tuesday evening at the Court House and heard a report from the Committee on Constitution. Much time was spent in considering its various sections, and with a few exceptions it was adopted as reported by the committee. A large amount of business come before the club and many important steps taken towards a thorough, permanent organization.
The speech of Mr. Butler, which had been advertised for this evening, was postponed for two weeks, the evening of the 26th, at which time we hope he may have an audience worthy of the argument he is able to make. The club adjourned to meet this (Thursday) evening. Let there be a good attendance.
Common Pleas Judge. Our readers will observe by reference to the column of announcements, that B. E. RHOADS of Vermilion, is this week announced for the office of Common Pleas Judge of this district. Without disparaging the claims of any others who heretofore have been spoken of as suitable for that office, our personal acquaintance with B. E. RHOADS as. also that of this entire community per haps, fully justifies the assertion that he is fully competent to fill the office, and should he be so fortunate as to receive the nomination, we shall most cordially work for his election.
Brown Township Convention. The Union loving Republicans of Brown township, are earnestly requested to meet at the office of II. E. Rhoads, in WAVELAND on
Thursday June 4th,1868. -.
at 4 o'clock P. M., to appoint and if thought best, instruct delegates to the county nominating Convention, to be held the following Saturday at Crawfordsville. A full attendance is desired.
By order of the TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE.
Convention at Alamo.•••. The Republicans of Ripley Township will meet at ALAMO, on Saturday, May 30th, at 3 o'clock P. M., for the purpose of appointing delegates to attend the County Convention, and transact other business of importance, A general at. tendance is earnestly solicited. By order of the COMMITTEE,
A Card.
To the Editors of the Crawfordsville Journal.
Permit me through your columns to say to the Republicans of the Seventh Congressional District, that I am not a candidate for Congress. It may seem superfluous to make this announcement after what has already appeared in your paper. My only excuse for so doing is a desire to remove even the slightest obstacle tending to hinder the complete success of our party. To my friends jn this county, and in the other counties of the district, who have proposed and urged my name in connection with the present Congressional race, my grateful thanks are returned, with the earnest hope that I may meet their continued good will.
The Republican candidate for Congress, when nominated, whoever he may be, will receive my cordial support, and all the help it may be in my power to bestow towards insuring his election.
Respectfully &c., JOHN M. BLTLKU.
CHAWKOKDSVILLE, May 12, 1868.
Impeachment.
Tuesday was the day set for the vote on impeachment to have been taken. The Senate met and adjoured until Saturday, when the final vote will probably be taken. Dispatches from Washington indicate that the President will be acquitted. The country has been again betrayed by recreant Republicans. Summing up the action of the Senate on Monday and the probable finality the Cincinnati Gazette says "The developments in the Court of Impeachment yesterday, (Monday), indicate the acquittal of the President. The speeches of Fessenden, Trumbull and Henderson leave but little hope for conviction.— These, with Grimes, count four. It requires only three more to acquit. Sherman is certain to vote no on the first article, and otherwise is uncertain. Last night, according to the best count, the President lacked two votes, with several weak men to draw upon. Between this time and two o'clock this afternoon, with the whisky ring at his back and millions of corruption money in control, we shall be greatly and most agreeably disappointed if the two votes necessary to acquit are not secured. "The case against the President was fully and clearly made out, and we had hoped that there was sufficient honesty in the Senate to secure his removal but in this the public are likely to be disappointed. The great obstruction to reconstruction must, it seems, remain in power. The Treasury thieves are to have a new lease, and the work of de moralization and public robbery is to go on. It only remains for an indignant and outraged people to appeal from the Senate to the ballot-box and in taking this appeal and retrying the case at the bar of public opinion, the Senators who have violated the confidence placed in them by their constituents will not be overlooked. Andrew Johnson will, in any event, retire from office without the confidence or respect of any party. The same fate awaits those Senators who have betrayed their country and their party, No Senator who voted to reinstate Stanton, and at the same timo voted that the President, in removing Stanton, had violated the law, can now honestly vote to acquit. The people can not be deceived upon this point, and they will be governed in the future by their honest convictions, which the developments of time will strengthen rather than minish"We have written, it will be observed, under the impression that the President will be acquitted. This is our conclusion, notwithstanding the hope expressed by our correspondents of a different result.
Knowing the influences that are at work, the personal jealousies that prevail, and the amount of corruption money that may be commanded, we are forced to regard, in the light of yesterday's proceedings, conviction as improbable it not impossible."
Senator Morton.
Senator Morton made a speech in the Senate in which he took strong grounds in favor of impeachment. It is gratifying to know that we have a Senator from Indiana who has the honesty and nerve to battle for their rights "inlawed by influence, and unbribed by gain.'' Gov. Morton will vote for the conviction of Johnson, and will but reflect the will of his constituents. He may be relied on at all times to do his duty.
More Rain.
The clerk of the weather seems to have an especial spite at poor humanity, and is bent on punishing the sins of this section by water instead of fire.—Lafayette Journal.
Shame on the man who has been advocating the elevation of the tone of the press, who should cjescend to call Him who sends the rain, the storm, and the sunshine the the "clerk of the weather.'j
JPJorlda.
The returns from J?lQi'icla indicate that the Constitution has been ratified by about 3,000 majority. The Republican State ticket is elected by about the same majority. Thus the work of Reconstruction goes on over all opposition,
Senator Morton made an able speech in favor of the conviction of the President,
New Tax Bill.
The Cincinnatti Commercial says: The Committee on Ways and Means will report the new supplemental tax bill next week. It is represented that if the force of law and stringent regulation can be made available to that end, the tivx on all whiskey now in bond will soon be collected, thereby yielding a large revenue. Revenue officers Who neglect their duty or promote fraud, will be summarily dismissed or suspended, and an examination at once made. Every one connected with the Internal Revenue Department is to lie held to the strictest accountability. The Committee have bestowed great labor on the bill, and will present one intelligible and efficient."
^Colonel Forney Resigned. Colonel Forney has tendered his resignation as Secretary of the Senate, to take effect upon the election of his successor. His letter to this effect was placed in the hands of Senator Wade Tuesday night. The principal reason for this course is, as lie privately states to his friends, that he may not be restrained by official position from commenting on the course of Republican Senators who do not sustain the conviction of the President.
The New York Sun's Washington dispatch says the friends of Secretary McCulloch state that there- has been an open rupture between him and the President. He says he will resign on Tuesday, just as soon as the vote is taken on impeachment, whether the President is convicted or not.
A dispatch from Omaha, dated the 11th, says the Union Pacific Railroad is now open to Fort Saunders, five hundred and eighty miles west of Omaha. Ten thousand men are at work, and it is expected not less than three hundred miles of the track will be laid this year. ---<>---
Gen. Meade has issued an order declaring the Constitutional ratified by 17, 599 majority. It is not yet determined whether the Georgia Legislature is Democratic or Radical.
A. D. Thomas for Prosecuting Attorney. We this week announce the name of A. D. THOMAS, Esq., of Crawfordsville, as a candidate for Prosecuting Attorney on Judge Cowan's circuit.
We are thoroughly acquainted with Mr. Thomas, and take pleasure in recommencing him for this important offiee. He is a stanch republican—a man of decided ability and strict integrity. Not only a lover of justice and right, but also posseses an uncompromising antagonism to injustice and wrong,—qualities that give him a peculiar fitness for the position of Public Prosecutor.
We earnestly recommend him not only to the support of our own county, but that of the entire circuit. His claims are strongly advocated by tlje best influences in all the counties, and we feel confident that he will receive the nomination.— Warren Republican
A Democratic Plan to Secure the President's Acquittal. The New York World prints conSpicously, in leaded, type the following "plan" to secure the acquittal of the President: "Let the men of wealth in this city, without regard to party, assemble at the Exchange or in the Cooper Institute, and subscribe a sufficient sum^-rten milljon dollars if need be—to buy a favorable verdict. There are fourteen Radical Senators whose terms of office expire in 1869. Beyond that time they are sure of no political position so far as they know now, they are sure of no 'paying place.' Surely as many as eight of these men would far rather be sure of a million each, in hand, than to wait for the uncertainty of a $5,000 office by-and-by. Let us buy their votes at their own price. When we consider the commercial and pecuniary interests at stake in this city alone, ten millions now is a mere trifle in comparison. Let us buy the verdict which is so vital to the interests of this city."
That would be an extraordinary spec tacle—the solid men of New York subscribing ten million dollars to bribe ten United States Senators. It will hardly be done in that way. But the whisky ring will furnish the money if the votes can°be secured. They can well afford to do it. They are now stealing at the rate of seventy-five to one hundred millions a year, under the protection of Andrew Johnson, and what would ten millions be to such a set of robbers, if the privilege of plundering.the people could be extended another year No, the corruption fund is already in hand. If votes can be purchased the President will be acquitted-—Cin. Gazzette.
The Massachusetts Legislature is con sidering a bill for the encouragment of the cultivation of forest trees for lumber and fuel. The principal feature of the bill in the exemption from taxation, for a period of years, of ground on which trees are grown the exemption varying according to the value of the tree cultivated. Agricultural societies are also authorized to offer premiums to the cultivators of forest trees.
The Wheat Crop.
The wheat crop everywhere promises a most abundant yield the coming harvest. During a trip from this place to Crawfordsville, we took especial notice of some thirty-three successive fields of of wheat, but two of which could lie set down as promising an inferior yield. We notice that the prospect for a good yield is alike encouraging oirthe road from this place to Newport, via. Montezuma. We suppose the prospect is as good in other parts of the State.—

Hon. John A. Logan, Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, has issued a general order announcing that the 30th of May is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of their comrades, who fell during the war. He says that it is his wish to inaugurate this observance with the hope that it will be kept up from year to year, while a survivor of the war remains to honor the memory of his departed comrades.
