But what is the procession that mine eyes behold enterin« upon the stage ? - THE SERGEANT AT ARMS, proclaiming the impeachment is now about to begin. Followed i'.y THE cuirr justice, asking himself the great question, “Am I am I, or am I not am I?” After whom came A BLACKSMITH, to “rivet the attention of the audience A CARPENTER,..... to erect scati’olds for those disposed to “hang upon the speaker's words;” A GARDENER, to attend such as may be "withered by his invective MEN WITH nosr. to extinguish parties “lired by his eloquence.” Succeeded by the following „ managers: Thad Butler, 'riuid Binghatnt Thad 1." fan, Thad Boutwell Tl»ad Williams,* Thaddeus Wilson, Senators. Counsel. B itness, etc.' This procession having come fully into view, Thaddeus Butit'f sti ].|>ed forth to deliver the prologue of the jucce. which he gave in the form of argument: the St titth : "The onerous duty has fallen to my fortune to present to you. imperfectly as 1 must, the several ab sencesjW facts and law by virtue of which (lie House of representatives will endeavor to sustain the ' cause of the people against the • President of the United States, now pending at your bar. The difficulty of defending said "people,” the unprecedented novelty of said "cause,” the perfect gravity with which we are trying to do it all, and the evident propriety of| holding out some idea that the 1 questions to be submitted to your] adjudication have just occurred to us. each and ail must be rny excuse I for giving you as much speech as human patience can endure“Now, forthe first time in the history of the world, has a nation brought its Chief Magistrate to grief, by high legal process, for administering the powers and du f his high office in a manner somewhat disagreeable to the feelings of these who expressly desired him to do otherwise. In other times and lands, it has been found that despotism of this kind could never be brought to triaUin courts, save upon rejoinder of the defendant to recover costs and damages for frivolous prosecution and, in the absence of assassination, constitutional nations were obliged to endure rulers who had been pronounced inad or imbecile by many whom those rulers had blindly neglected to appont to hi<rh anil—remunerative ollices.— Only recently, one of the most civilized countries in the world, ami the one whom wc imitate and ahusc the most, was obliged to submit for years to the rule of a King currently liclieved to l»e insane by every great man whom he hail ever failed to make a Prime Minister; and all this because nol»ody "couTdlut upon an}’ particular reason for bis removal. "Our fathers were wise in founding our governuvent. and provided ■wwtlitirt.vn.ilh that a Pi raid curt" ‘shall’ be removed, on conviction of‘treason, bribery, or other erimes and inkxleiweaners ’ - 4£b«provisions is exact* ami compreiieusive in every particular sAve ofefc- 4t covers the whole ground of impeachment save the specificatidns of just what a disagreeable man can la* imjieached for.— This was wisely done. l>ecause human foresight mist have been in

adequate, and the most ingenious human intelligence must have failed in the task of anticipating anything like the fine point to wjycii modern intellect has brought the act of impeaching. “It may not be unamusing to remember that the framers of our Constitution had their minds im- . proved, and their pride of human ' calculation humbled, while at their | noble work, by an exempiary case. ■ In the |>revious year, only. Thad- I Aleus Burke, from his pbrein the House of Commons in England, i had impeached Thaddeus Hastings far the misdemeanor of go verning India in such a manner as to absolutely render soldiers ind politicians uneceSsaty there. The mails were continual!}' bringing the gorgeous and burning speeches of the ’ impeaehers across the Atlantic; and the great stress laid in. thes? I npon the above facts, and upon , the additional unheard of 6nor-| init-y of Hastings not having mtuje I a fortune by his government, s>' worked upon the intellects of our fathers, that they at once gave up all earthly hope of anticipating what a man might be impeached for next, and left the document open for modern improvement. “Now, therefore, we have the question: Whatare modern im- I peachable offences? To quote 1 from the learned ildieiary labors : of my able friend, the Hon. ThadLawrence, of Ohio, we define ; an impCtfcliable high crime and; misdemeanor to b-i an act commit- ; ted or omitted in violation of the j Constitution, or in obedience thereto ; and this nay exist with-; out violation ofai v positive law or j essential principal of government, ■ yet be esteemed otherwise by those ! who. from any motive or purpose • desire to impeach. “The first criticism which will I strike the mind, on a thoughtful examination of the definition, i* that some of the despotic outrages "e---nnmerated in it,are nob withiirThe common sense definition of crimes. You will find, however, upon turning to certain notes on the commentaries of Thaddeus Blackstone, that when the words i ‘high crimes and micieUn anor.s’ i are used in impeachment, such ' words have no real m aiuing whatever, but are use I only to give unspeakable solemity to the charge. ; It being settled, therefore, that! impeachment may ensue from a”., act either committed or omitted | biHwFthtte-the-ttH'-HSS-Gf—the —iws-n-a-tion have really no earthly mean j ing wo next proceed to consider ■ wliether there actually exists any tribunal to try the case. “The important question is, does this Senate now fit as a court, >., ' jury, or a coroner's inquest ?"—| The Constitution seems to have; determined il to be the latter, be cause under its provision a man must be politically deceased before he can get any justice from it.; You cannot be a court, because there is no sign of law about any lof your proceeding. You can not | ibe a jury, becauseyou can not be ; | challenged, and have made up your I minds before hearing a word of I the case. You consult no laws I except the laws of health, mid hold an inquest by those rules only which refer to Parliamentary “bodies.” You are a law unto yourself and to no one else. "In the first eight articles of our! charge the respondent is accused ; of rem 6 vTn g - -Sec ret ary Sfautoii. ■ and appointing Mr. I'liomas as Secretary tul interim, when the latter was really of an opposite political party from ours. * which brings before the American Senate and ]ieople this plain issue : Has the President utrdcr the Constitution. the more than kingly prerogative to remove Executive; officers of his own appointment, i ami replace them by others who are not of our appointment? If the. respondent can prove the affirmative. why then the great ques tion arises, whetlicx tlie President tial office.itself, if it has any rights whatever, ought, in fact, to exist as a part of the constitutional gov-1 eminent of a free people? If not the respondent has no business to l»e President at all, and whoever votes to subject our free institutions for four years to the presi-, deney of any man who, being eleeted President, may choose t6[ olHciaTe as such. •‘Article ninth charges that Ma- i jor General Thaddeus Emery l»e---ing iu command of the Military Washington, te " spondent did Telonioiisly express to him the belief that the act of Nf amh s 1 Si>7, which provides that-i all orders from the President shall] first be composed and afterward issued by General Thaddeus Grant, was inconsistent with any presidential existence at all, with intent thereby to induce Emery to feel some respect for him and not treat Thaddeus Stanton better thou

himself. If this transaction stood alone we might welt admit that doubts might jirise as th whether the re-ipohdent could he executed ■ therefo'r; but'when we find him subsequently offering a brevet to Lieutenant General Shermaiijds it not plqin that he wanted to in-' gratiate himself with the army, sol that at least one General would I recognize him in the street ? Is it i not a high misdemeanor for timr President to accomplish an act 1 which, in the opinion of Congress.] if followed by another and dis-j ferent act might lead to something • more than IraswK-curreiP? f “Article ten alleges that, intending to produce a question of the undoubted superiority of C ingress in the odorous personalities ofel-1 1 oquence, he, Andrew Johnson,! President of the United States, did; ■ make public .-speeches w’:ii-h upon' . being compared with innumerable ] ■ similar speeches by CmgresS I'rofn I time im.mmrial, are calculated tot !produce the immpression that] Congress,has at 1< a4:i competitor in tise article of political vitw-pera-' lion, and to destroy that conf:--, deuce in the superior vulgarity in' congressional orator?* which is] one of the elements of our nation- ! al cqmplaccney. Compet:tiq,n of I this kind i?ith the Legislature i has generally proceeded a seizure] ! by a despot ofdhe Legislative pow- ■ lor of the country: ami •If we! jthough having set the example,! ■ can not accuse the respondent of I ] crime in attempting the first, wej i can at least assume for his destruc-] ' tion that he really must have inI tended the latter. i “The House of Rpresentutives • has doye its duty. We have pre- ■ ■ seated the absence of facts in a] | constitutional manner, and de-] mand judgment at your hands, ini perferenou to expecting it from: your head?. I speak, therefore.] not the language of exaggeration. ; but the words of truth and sober-j ness. when I say. that the future; political welfare of quite a number <>f persons not accustomed to doing anything for a living hangs trembling on the decvsion of the I I hour.'

The ta- i inous Duke of Marlborough is a; case in point. It was said of liihi by one contemporary, that his a- ] grecable manners often converted an enemy into a friend: and by an-| other, that it was more pleasing to be denied a favor by his grace, t han to receive otic from-auv other; man. The gracious manner of Charles Jam 's Fox preserved himj from dislike, even at a time when! he was. politically, the most un-[ popular man in the kingdom, rhe! world’s history is full of such examples of success obtained by civility. The experience of every man furnishes, if we recall the past! frequent instances where concilia-1 tory manners has made the for-j tunes of physicians, lawyers, di-1 vines, politicians, merchants, and; indeed, individuals of all pursuits. To mm. civility is what beauty is! to is a general pass- ] port to favor—a letter of introduction. written in language that ev- : cry one understands A Western paper, in noticing the presentation of a silver cup to aI cotemporarv, says: “He needs no cup. He can drink from any vessel that contains liquor—whether the iieek of a bottle, the month ot a demijohn, the spile ot a keg. or the bung of a barrel.'’ A school ma’am has adopted a nou- ftii, 1 nAval wrs.y.v.x ~ inent. If the boys disobey her, rules she stands them on their] heads and pours water into their, tivwsvis legs. It'is not stated bow she punishes the girls. With love, the heart becomes a fair and fertile garden glowing with sunshine and warm hues, and exhaling sweet odors; but without, it is a bleak desert, covered with ashes.

Initiating a Candidate into the Good Temp Jars. The method of initiating a candidate in to a Lodge of Good : Templars is but a slight improve-1 merit upon thg same programme : so long in vogue by the ancient I land honorable fraternity of the I I “Sons of Malta.” A “chap” who ] i/fras taken from a lager beer saloon ; ■ where he go-t “tight” without know-: l ing that lager beer would intoxicate I was put through a course of cold ] water treatment by the GoodTeml plars a few evenings since. He •“peaches’-’ on the Templars, and; ■ givos-trie follow ing expose of their i initiation ceremony, for which, no doubt, lie will be put through smother course of cold water i “sprouts" at n-xt-meeting of -the ] Lodge. In the first-place the vic I tim for initiating is blindfolded, 1 bound han I and foot, ami thrown I into a cider press and pressed for five minutes. This is done for the ■ pnrno.se of -elna ling his system of ! “old drunks.” lie. is then taken out of the cider press and by means of a force pmnp gorged with cis ; tern water, after which a sealing I piaster is put ov. r his.mouth and j he is rolled in a barrel four or five ‘ times across the room, the choir ! at tile same time sing the cold wa- : ter song. • « I He is now taken but of the. bar- ! rol and hung up by the heels- till I the water runs out through his tears. He is then cut down. .amT I a beautiful young lady hands him > a glass of cistern water. A cold : water bath is then furnished him 'after which he is showered with cistern water. He is then to read theVJat'T Works act ten times, i drinking a glass of cistern water 1 between each reading. After which ] the old oak bucket is hung around I his neck; and fifteen sisters with I squirt gims leluge him with cistern ] water. He is th n forced to eat a : peck of snow, while the brothers j stick his ears full of icicles. He ;is then run through a ciotheswringer, after which he is handed n glass of pist tu water bv a young lady, lie is then again gorged . with cistprn water and his boots i 'tiled with the same, and he is laid 'nwiy in :>. refrigerator. The initii ation is now almoA concluded.— After remaining in the refrigerator for the spa -.- of half an hour he is ] taken out and given a glass ofcisj tern water, run through a clothes wringer, and becomes a Good I’eirq iar. I Wine and Temp'-raiir?. liisyij interesting letter from ; G >rmany, published in the New York . Air. Bayard Tayi lor, the great traveler, writes as ; follows: * Here let me say. that while either wine or beer, or both, make ' an uidispensilile part of a German picnic, 1 ! ave never known an :nI stance of intoxication. In the first place the be verages are al "ays pure ! and light in quality ; in the sec m l. i they are not looked r.pcn as lux- ] Uries, and their use is not consid!en d special indulgence. Le:;v- --; ing the question of example out lof view—which is the main argui ment. used by the advocates of I temperance against the us? of i wine without excess—-I eon.fess I bsee no harm in thFdmTnfual use of alight, pure vintage. Nothing is ■so diihcult to measure as the postive influence of an indiv’. Inal upon his fellow men. and the cases ;-are rare- w here a maiu w ithout c m - scions purpose, leads another to i his ruin. I have be-m frequently assailed by ovi r zealous reformers ■ for writing, of the use of wines ! without a I Ung a condemnation of the habit : but I have no condemnation except tor excess. Ido not consider that the weakness of i one gives me the right to attack I the temperance of ten. The most j temperate people! have ever found j are the Greeks—every one of ' whom—man. women, and child—drinks wine. Excess, in fact, is a ! phvsical disease, ~aUiX_ should he. i treated »s such—where there is any . tendency toward it the onh reme;dy is total absinoncc. But the 1 stronger and healthier nature has ' always seemed to me that wb.ieh iis able to control itself. Let our ■ tslueation. domestic as well as. i public, develop and strengthen this quality. sn<l we shall accomplish more than by prohibitory laws. Nodody is satisfievl in this world. If a legacy is lett a man. he regrets Ift is tint larger. If lmdimls a sum I of money, he searches the spot for | irtWT If he is elected th some Hrigh office, he wishes a In'tler one. If he is rich nnchwantsfor nothing he strives for more wealth. If he is a single man. he is looking out for a wife: and if married, for i children. Men are never satisfied. What part of a cigar is like a tree? The a?h is.

The Fall of Senator Yates. The Chicago Tribune, Republican, says: ; The latest intelligence on the subject of Setator Yates is that a committee of Republican Senators I have notified him that he must dp 1 ohe of three things, viz ; 1. ; himself; or 2. Resign; or 3. fee i expelled. A dispatch from Wash- 1 ] ington says that Mr. Yatmr just recovered from a severe indisposition. He seems to have l>cen very, severe this time : The Chicago Journal, Repnbli | can-.-which has been a staunch sup- ; porter-ond ardent admirer of Senator Yates, thus speaks of his i present conduct: “Our private art vices from ] Washington ar - to the effect that i United States Senator Yates entirely neglects his duties in the Se.nat ■. lie is 'intoxicated .nearly all the time, dav and night, and unless lie changes coursesoon, nr resigns, the Senate will expel ; him. He has not been in his seat onee since the opining of the im.peachTiient trial, and on several ' occ .- ibns his vote would have J . ii-i imi'ortrm:- (fp.-ti?ns.
