IMPEACHMENT. The argument in the impeachment trial was closed Last week, and the Court adjourned until Tuesday, when the vote was to be ! taken on the articles separately, without debate. What the result was we are unable to state, but learn through private sources that the voting was again postponed until to-day. The prevailing opinion, however, is that the President will be impeached. THE NEWS. * There was three hundred and twenty two deaths in Cincinnati during the month of April. Commodore Ridglcy, of the na- ■ vy, died la«t week at Philadelphia The Radical delegates from New York are instrhvte?! for Grant and Fenton. Three thousand one hundred and seventy-seven emigrants arrived at New York on the sth isnt. I The annual meeting of the Na- I tional Manufacturers Association 1 meets in Cleveland on the -27 th inst. Charles MeLaine, of Philadelphia, starts on a •pedestrian tour from Trenton to St. Louis byway of the Southern States. He is Sergeant Bates, No. 2. General Canby has issued an or der postponing the meeting of tile Legislature of South Carolina, which ha 1 been fixed for the 12th inst. until Congress shall have ap. IX ,V £J the new constitution. The registration of Washington City so >ts up as follows: Whites, 1(1,254; blacks, 6,737. The Virginia Radical State Convention, on the 7th inst., nominated IL 11. Wells for Governor, and J. H. Clem mts for Lieutenant Governor. The Convention instructed for Grant and Wilson. Fenton signed 675 bills during the recent session of , the NAv York Legislature. T ie trial of Jell. Davis is set for the 31 of June.'

Congress has made an ’appropriation of 8117,000 00 to defray the immediate necessary expenses of impeachment. The grain and hay crops of Crrf-ifar-hia-nnd Nevada promise we.ll. Two thousand muskets have been order*- 1 by Mexico from the United States to arm the National Guard at Vera Cruz. It is reported that a revenue collector and his deputy, in New York, have released ten rectifying establishments, which had ’been seized fir selling illicit whiskey, in consequence <»f having received heavy bribes. Th? Conservative Convention of Virginis nominated Rol»ert E. Withers, for Governor; General James Walker for Lieutenant Governor; James T. Wayne, Jr. for Attorney General, and Marmaduke Johnson, for C\«ngr?ssuian at large.

Radical Economy. The villainy of the Radical party is too much for the people to stand. The people's bowel of compassion instead of being moved with large doses of “loyalty'’ and fears of treason, stratagem and “spoils,” are now’ moved by the “sober second thought.” Men and parties are beginning to be estimated at their true worth. There is a settled" conviction in the public mind that they have been humbuged and cheated outrageously by the wife workers of “God and humanity,” who own and control the Radical parly, for their own base purposes. The conviction ia made evident m the light of recent elections, East and Weat. Millions of money squandered during ' the dark days of the rebellion upon party favorites. Untold millions of captured property durifig tire war bestowed upon licensed thieves of the Government, instead of being made to d?fray a pSriion of the expense of the war. Millions more squandered to secure party supf&macv through negro Jomin’itiot'hrthe South; has impeached the Radical party of “highchimes and misdemeanors” against the people and enveloped them in a maelstrom of public opinion, that is every day gathering force and is as surely destined to carry them under as punishment is to follow crime; Our friend of the Uepiihlican beholds the seething whirlpool closing around his party, and feels himself drifting toward the vortex as impotent as a babe’ in swaddling clothes. But a drowning man will “catch.at straws;” and, our friend, true to the instinct of self prcservr.tion, a faithful servant in the “dirty work" department of the Ra dical household, with hisjnuekrake in one band, he points with the other to New York, to Allen and Adams counties as evidence of Demo.cratic corruption. Poor fool! If what you say were true, and ten times as bad a’s represented, it would no more hide the fraud and corruption of the Radi cal pasty than the ostrich is concealed when he covers his head in the sand. As well might you at tempt to blind the sun with a mote. .. But it is not true. The City of New York is controlled, by the Radical Legislature which is simply another mime for a bribery and corruption Committee, that has no parallel! ia the annals of corrupt legislation, of Washingtort. As to Allen county, the Gazette is pleased to term the letting of tire contract fur county printingas a “rascally operation,” and mentions two items in which the Gazette underbid the Democrat 20 and 200 per cent. The Gazette did not expect to got the printing, but wanted those items to make a ••blow” about, consequently bid low on thwii. If the Gazette \ wanted to make a fair showing why did if not publish the bids—place them side by side, so that the people could-aee and read for themselves ?

The Republican assumes because the Auditor's report of Ad ams county, 18GG, showed an expense of one I thousand dollars for countytprinting shat we received that sum, and then states that the ! printing of Jay county daring the I same time was only “halftuat sum.” ■ If our friend practiced telling the, ■ truth, we would accept his state j meats; but as we have found him an unreliable witness on several occasions, wn cannot believe his i statement now from the fact we I saw a bill in which Jay County ! figured, to Joseph H. Jones, Dr., ■ for printing during one quarter, i or for three months, of some fourhundred and twenty five dollars, if our memory serves us correct, and we think it does. This would heat the rate of seventeen hundred dollars a year. A moderate hill for a one-horse printing office whose oiily county printing is legal notices published in the paper!

The Republican in the s.nroe article njics the “school of manners” of the Radical Rump, just about as successfully: talks cf th? “Billings gate and Fishmonger's Lane” burled at the Radicals by the Democratic press, and closes the articles ns follows: “If ahTConaty.Citv or Seated? sire tn have a pbwerfdly surtiinel

Democratic administration, such as are to be found in New York City, Ft. Wayne or .Adams county, they will have to take with the same, gambling saloons and tree "wlnskty, drunken sojs, heavyjtaxes, black eyes and bloody noses.” “Billing’s gate and Fishmonger’s Lane,” or any othek slang is utterly inadequate to describe the misdeeds of the Radical, party, as a party, or that of its individual members. Let your party tell the truth and act honestly in politics and in religion, friend Jones, included in particular, and you will soon have no cause to complain of plain statements ’of your mis deeds, which you are pleased to term “Billings gate.” Radicalism has made Washington the head quarters of licentiousness, profanity and drunkenness. ' Morton sits enthroned as the god. o£. dissolute desires; Wade, is Professor of profanity; and Dick Yates having impeached Bacchus for being temperate sit enthrd'ned as the god of “free whiskey,” fwith Sprague. Howard, Grant and Chandler as his chief supporters. They are bright and shining lights under the “new dispensashun.” Great is Radicalism at the fountain head. If the people desire to pi opagate it they will Jjavc to take these beauties and enormities, and the whole Radical camp of eleven hundred licentious Preachers that have figured in our police courts during the last five years, for clerical indiscretions to boot.

How They stand at Home The recent spring elections exhibit iu a striking light, the standing of the two candidates for Governor of Indians, with their own ; neighbors among whom they have I lived and who must be regarded as knowing them better and more intimately thnn strangers-. The verdict of these people as to the merits of these two candidates. In Evansvills, the home.of Governor Baker, which has had a Republican Mayor for the- last nine .years in the person of Mr. Wil- ' liam Baker, a bvrthcr of the Gov- , ernor, and which was claimed by I the radicals as good for three hundred majority for them, the Democratic ticket from Mayor down to Assessor, except Clerk, was elected by a large majority. The Goy- ! ernor’s own brother, with the presj tige of nine years in ol’ice and with the patronage of the whole city government at his back, was beaten by the splendid majority of 197 votes. And what makes the Democratic victory more competeand the repudiation of the Bakers I in their own home more crushing, tis found in the fact that the last ' radical Legislature amended the charter of the-city of Evansville so that no num who did not or could not pay his tax, could vote.' Arguing that the bulk of the poor men belonged to the Democracy, the Bakerites triumphantly proclaimed that this amendment to the charter would make Evansville permanently and o ver whelm in Hy Republican. Yet, such was the unpopularity of the Bakers among their own neighbors—among the s {■people with whom and among ' whom they had lived for over ; twenty years—that despite all these i advantages and the most frantic ■ appeals of the Evansville Journal • that the defeat of William Baker would be a severe blow to Governor Baker, the people of Eyansville repudiated them both: pud the county next fall will • re-echo the vote of the city. How different the case with ME i Hendricks. Shelbyville has long i been the place of his residence from ea,rly boxhood. It has always been a Republican city—in-t<’DS(-ly and bitterly so. Yet oven .in this stronghold of Radicalism, j such is. the personal popularity of I Mr. Hendricks among his neigh- ' bors that Shelbyville responds to his nomination for Governor by I electing ticket tor ’ the first time since the town was | incorporated. And the county I will, iu OctMier next, re echo the vo ce of the city by giving him the largest majority ever received by a camfidate for office. The votes of Evansville and Shejbyville at their municipal elecJ tions are significant. Baker re I pudiated in his own home—heretofore a strong Radical city! Ilcn- ; dricka endorsed in his own home—- ■ also a strong Radical town !—ln- ‘! diakapedis Sentinel.

Surgery makes new strides towards perfection. Recently, in Massachusetts, a deep sealed tumor which had grown to the carotid artery, was carefully dissected from that most potent blood vessel without in the least wounding it or its near neighbor, the jugular vein, and the patient is recovering. There are fifty breweries in St. Louis which make annually two hundred thousand liarrels of l>ecr and the Democrat say? moat of it is consumed in that city.

The Omnipotence of Congress. . Those who advocate the Omnipotence of Congress from analogy Io the British Constitution, forget tan essential element of the latter? That is, the Power of the Crown at will to dissolve Parliament, and recur to the people for a new election of the Commons. This prerogative preserves the balance of Government, and subjects all its branches to the authority of the people. Without it, the tyranny of Parliament, though limited in duration, might become intoler able. Without a corresponding power id our President to appeal to the people, the usurped Omippotence of Congress has wrought intolable tyranny The present Congress was elected two years ago by means of a fraud upon the people. It was elected, upon a particular issue, and afterwards usurped an authority not delegated by the people, nor contemplated when it was elected. The exercise of that authority occasioned a. change of 60,900 votes in' the State of New York, 25.000 in the of State New' Jersey, 40,000 in the State of Ohio, and smaller changes in other States. The principle on which Congress acted has since been condemned by every Northern Stnt&that has passed upon it Under similar circumstance the Crown of Great Britain would promptly dissolve lifirliairient, andi’efer the subject to the people through a new election of the House of Commons. But we have no such relief from the tyranny of Congress, because its powers are restricted by our written Constitution. And as Congress repudiates this Constitution. we are altogether remedi less, while the Constitution itself is subverted, and the co-ordinate branches of Government prostrat*ed. Thus American freemen are even denied the rights of British subjects.— l't. IVaTjiic Democrat.

The Greenback Question in Pennsylvania and Aevv York. 1 The■ Pittsburg JW of Tuesday i makes the following important I statement: - i “We arc informed by a Democratic Senator of this State that i during the session a caucus was held of the Democratic Senators, and it turned out'rather unexpect cdly that there was but one dissenting vote to the greenback doc- ; trine, and that Senator was a bondholder. There can be no doubt , about where the people are on this question. East an Yi'est, and politicians must learn ta respect them or take a back scat.” The New York Ilerard, in an. article upon the greenback question, says: “One of the signs to which we refer was shown in the State As 1 semblv last week, when it took up the Balcolm res Millions offered in the early part ot the bps'ion and passed them. These request Congress to pass a law providing, among other things, for the payment of t]ie National debt in ■ greenbacks?* Double-L R ailro a d. —31 essrs. Newton Burwell and E. A. Horton returned on Sunday last, after a four days’ trip along the western portion of' tire Lima A Logansport Railroad, and report everything lively! Citizens on the line are ready to pledge from 84,000 to 85.000 per mile, and the city of I Logansport will donate 850,000. John Stuclabaker, President, and N. Burwell, Director, started cast : last Monday morning to attend a Railroad Convention 1 at Sandusky City, 0., where they expect to enter into negrotiatioas for the speedy constructibn of the road. ’ We are awaiting their return with much anxiety, hoping to be able to give something encouragingnext week. —.— The “Double-L” is beginning to be looked upon by railroad men as a fixed fact.— Blujton Banner. - ;•_ uThe Greensburg Standard is ? terribly exercised for fear the ! Deinocraticcounty ticket, which it ' characterizes as “a—good one—a strong one," may be elected next fall, ami in desperation calls upon the radicals to nominate none but good electioneers, for, says the editor, “an c’ectionecrer in a party party sense, he is most wanted for. Good citizenship and cleverness * are the smallest requisites to a ; irim\ing leader.” We agree with the Standard the good citizenship, honesty, capacity, and all such “requisites!* are played out in the raddical party. A trickster, who can pull the ropes and is utterly unscrupulous in the use of the means to compass his elections, always holds the winning cards in the . radical organization.
