The End Off ■mpeacninant. W« direct the ettoDUoa of our redlcil readers to the following mealy, high toned and able YlndlcaUou of the radical Senators, who feel bound upon their conscience and Judgment J to acquit the President of the high crimes and mlsdemean «rs "hergrd against him In the articles of Impeachment, Which we oopf from the Chicago Tribum, the leading radical organ of the northwestern States. That paper forcibly remarks when inch lawyer* as Fessimdkm and Tsumbcll declare that the President is guiltless of the cbsrges upon which he was arraigned, with a full understanding of all the eYldenoe and the law In the case, It ill becomes laymen to say they are mistaken or hare not been gorerned by a high seas* of duty. ThU censure by the Tribum of the large el see of radical partisans who are reedy to denounce the foremost men of their party for corruption and treachery In the discharge of a duty they have sworn to perform, la to the point. The Democracy have defended the President upon principle, and for the reason that a conviction upon the miserable pretexts set forth la the articles of impeachment would he a disgrace to the country, and would be con drained by the generations that will scrutinise the act, free from the prejudices and passions of ths present day.
The Tribum says:
"Oar apprehensions thst Johnson would be acquitted hive, according to present appearances, proved correct. Unfortunately, bli legal guilt has not been made out to the satisfaction of a constitutional majority of the Senate, and be will continue to administer the government until the 4tb of Harub next, unless, indeed, emboldened by Impunity, be sbould engage in tome scheme wblcb should bring him wltbtn the penalties of the written law. He will be acquitted, not of a moral or of a political offense, but of the "high crimes and misdemeanors” with which be was charged In the articles preferred by tbs House, and for which alone be was upon trial. The members of the court before wblcb he was arraigned have been acting under tbe solemnity of an oatb, wblcb bound them to render a decision id accordance with tbe law and tbe evidence. They were no longer Senators representing tbelr respective States, and to be held accountable to tbose by wbom they bad been ebrssn; no longer representatives of a political party, Whose principles they espoused and whose policy they were bound to carry out, but jurors, or rather jurors and judges in one, whose duty It was conscientiously to weigh tbe evidence, and honestly to interpret the Uw. Tbeylnay be mistaken, as other jurors or judges may be mbtiken; but their motives can no more be questioned than tbose of other jurors or judges. Outsiders, who are swayed by their feelings, who have paid a cursory attention to the proceedings, and bave, perhaps, glanced at tbe statutes involved, may well difer to tbe opinions of Senators acting under an oatb,who have listened patiently day after day to evidence and arguments, who bave critically examined tbe law and precedents bearing upon the questions Involved, and many of wbom are peculiarly tilted by nature, and by professional training to discharge tbe duty they bave sworn to perform. When such lawyers as Trumbull and Fessenden declare tbat blgb crimes and misdemeanors bave not been proved against tbe ascused, It is not for Wvmen to a-sume tbat they are mistaken. When Republican Senators so upright and intelligent as Urimes and Henderson resist popular pressure and personal appeals stronger tban were ever before brought ti bear upon tbe members of a court; and In tbe case, :oo, of a man to wbom they are personally and politically hostile, It must be because they act upon toelr views of tbe law and in conformity with the dictates of their consciences; for every ether motive would urge tbem to adjudge Johnson gulltv. Tbe opinion of Senators who lake a different view of tbe case, and, therefore, vote accordlng y, are equally entiUed to respect, but not more' so. in common with all who disapprove of Jobnson's course, wo proloundiy regret tbat the administration of tbe Uovcrnment U to remain In bis bands. It Is desirable tbat tbe Executive should co-operate with Congress In a policy that aims ~at the regeneration of tbe South. Rut It Is not desirable tbat this result sbould be reached by any read but the road of justice. It Is not desirable tbat upon the first trial of a Chief Magistrate of tbe United States a bad precedent should be established. Uettsr tbe acquittal of Johnson, than bis conviction upon grounds tbat would not endure scrutiny In tbe coming Presidential election. Far better his acquittal tban his coviction upon grounds that might be condemned by tbs next generation. Tbe record of fils trial will pass into history. It will bs studied by tbe young men who are to govern tbe future. It will be scanned by lawyers whose sight will not he dimmed by prejudice. A temporary benefit to tbe' republic Is as notbing compared wltb the permanent Injury wblcb would be Inflicted by tbe depoettion of a President upon Insufficient grounds. A party can always afford to take tbe consequences of tbe conscieutioui per-

fonnaoce ef a judicial duty.'
How different is this from tbe expression of the Indianapolis Journal upon the same subject. In its Issue of yesterdsy It thus expresses its hope and desire for the conviction of Mr. Johnson upon tbe evidence presented; "To-day the fate of Impeachment will probably be decided. God grant tQat tbe judgment of tbe Senate may vindicate tbe principle of representative government, and make an end of presidential dictation In this
Bepubllc. M
When penning these words the Journal must have known tbat tbe ablest of tbe Republican Senators had declared Altbougb In conflict with their party sympathies and wtsbes, that tbe evidence and the law were insufficient to convict the President. The Cincinnati Gazelle is ferocious with disappointment and Indignation over tbe probable acquittal of the President, and boldly charge} the radical Senators who favored acquittal with venality. It says: “ Last Dtgbt, according to tbe best count, the President lacked two votes, wltb several weak men to draw upon. Between this time and two o’clock this afternoon, with the whieky ring at bit back and millions of corruption money In control, we shall be greatly and most agreeably disappointed il tbe two votes necessary to acquit are not scoured.” The Gazette takes issue with tbe Senate's who believe tbat there are not sufficient grounds for conviction. It says; "Tbe caee against the President was fully and clearly made out,and we bad hoped that tbere was sufficient honesty In tne Senate to secure bis removal; but in this tbe public are likely to be disappointed. ... “No Senator who voted to reinstate Stanton , and at tbe same time voted tbat tbe President, In removing itanton, bad violated the law, can now honestly vote to acquit him. Toe people can not be deceived upon tnis point, and they will be governed In tbe future by tbelr honest convictions, wblcb tbe developsmuts of time will strengthen rather than
diminish.
Here are direct charges sgainst the integrity of tbe radical Senators wbo favor acquittal, and whom the Chicago Tribune credits with having acted "upon their views of the law and In conformity with the dictate* of their conscience.” The Gazette thus arraigns those Senators: "Knowing the Influences thst arc at work, tbe 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 ns Improbable, if cot Impossible.” Is it probable tbat " personal jealousies ” and " corruption money ” would influence Senators like Fessenden,Trumbull,Gkimks and Henderson to vote against conviction If the case was clearly made out? This the Gazette charge* in unequivocal terms, and It •ays that the Radical Senator* wbo vote for convlctioj "will r*tire from office without the respect of any party” for having “ betrayed their country tnd their party.” If the radical Senator* who have stood foremost In the party lor ability and Integrity will betray not only their party but their aouatry from "parsonal jealousies,” or for “corruption money” then It must be admitted by even radicals themselvea that tbe radical patty has become ao utterly corrupt and demoralized that it sbould le swept from power with the besom of destruction, and the papers thst profess to bellave and aay tbat the men wbo have ttood the highest In tbelr party for purity of character, talenta and cultivation, have not only betrayed their party but their country, should not bave the brazen assurance to continue i party in power whose lesders are so unworthy of the confidence of the country. And be It remembered It Is Republican papers tbit charge tbat radical Senators can be bribed to violate tbelr “views ;of the law” and "the dictates of their consciences.” United Stated court—Case of Connell versus White Wateb Valley Company. Court dismissed bill in chancery on ground of want of jurisdiction. Gordon and Pend leton for complainant, and Hendricks, Hord and Hendricks for Company.

marks:
Although abaent from tha State for a length of time, I have watched your proceedings with keen Interest, and have been highly gratified. I claim tbat we have rights in the Union, and that when we laid down our arms It was with the understanding that we were to be readmitted to tbe Union with all our rights, dignity, and equality unimpaired. Mr. Lincoln so declared, and Mr. Seward so stated in his foreign dispatches. I was willing to see tha Union restored, that when our States were restored our people would endeavor to forgive, If not forget the past. But 1 (ear tbat many of our people were too ready to yield concession* They not only met the radical party half way, but went still further. 1 bope that tbe delegate* sent to tbe National Democratic Nominating Convention, to meet iu New York in July next, will see that tbe rights of the State* are fully upheld. I think tbe action of your convention was consistent and politic. W* should go with tbe Deaaocritic party If the advocate State rights, recently met taro gentlemen frssn parishes la Louisiana, wblcb contained large colored majorUies, who stated that the colored people h«d been properly Informed of tbe position they occupied, and the consequence was tbat In one of those parishes tbere were 300 majority for tbe Democrats, and In tbe other 000. Let tbe colored man be told God’s truth— thst if he exoects to escape tbe fate of tha Indian he should go In with tbe Democratic or conservauve party. Nearly ayearhgo, by special request, I addressed tbe colored peapie at a meeting in this town, and told tbem that 1 believed all these matters were nnennstltutlonal and would be wiped out. 1 told them thst I was willing to extend to them an eduiailonal and properly qualification. Tbe colored men have not. it la true, carried out tbe views tbey tben expressed; they would not meet us half wsy. Many have been led off. Now, when tbe Democratic party tsgetliog Into tbe ascendancy at tbe North, and will shortly be In power, we could turn our backs upon tbe unfortunate colored men, and tell tbem we would bave notbing to do wltb tbem; but tbat should not be the case. This matter sbould be settled by the Democratic nominating convention to meet in New York. It U probable tbat the question relative to suffrage will be referred to the Stales.

From tbe New York Express. Butler aa ■ falsifier. The notorious Butler oe Friday last tbonght proper to defend himself from bis agency In tbe Alta Vela claims by asserting, as we said, on Saturday, a downright false hood against tbe New York Exprett and J. A E. Brooks. We bave already branded the untruth and ita author at tbe offense deserved. But to make It still more palpable, we now place before tbe tbe following card bose name Butler used, not only without any knowledge of the case referred to, but knowing that every word stated by him was pure invention. Mr. Clarks bas authorized us to state all that he has pressed In his card, and whatever else may be necessary to stamp Butler’s statement at sheer Invention and falsehood. HBM 18 THU FALSEHOOD ABOUT TH BROOKSES AND CLARKE As paraded editorially In Sunday’s Eeraldt after a previous publication In the titrald
of Saturday:
"Sometime ago there waa a caaa where one Clarke sued a fellow by the name of Brooks for part ownership in tbe New York Expreet. and there waa a difficulty between Eri Brooks and tbe other partner about a division of tbe spoils. Tbey brought him (Butler) thi case, and showed him that the two Brookses bad robbed this Clarke. He (Butler) said he did not love the firm. He would have nothing to do with it. It was a nasty affair, sad not so fertile as guano. He saw the case in
court, and saw tbe Brookses batten.”
And hare is the card of Mr. Clarke, as voluntarily written by him, alter a verbal aeaui ance to us that Butler's statement had m
one word of truth to rest upon:
New York, May 4,1868. Hon. Erattuz Brooke:
Dear Sir: In regard to the“ExDreM Salt,” alluded to by General Butler on' Friday last, allow me to say that it waa never offered him by me, directly or Indirectly, and that never neard bia name connected witn It until Saturday last on reading (be debate ef the day before. Uls entire statement has not the
shadow of truth to rest upon.

Andrew Lee came home from bis shop where he bad worked all day, tired and out of spirits; came home to hla wife, wbo was also tired and out of spirits. "A smiling wife aod a cheerful home—what a paradise it would be,” said Andrew to himself, as be turned hi* eyes from the clouded face of Mrs. Lee, snd sat down with knitting brows snd moodv aspect. Not a word was spoken by either. Mrs. Lee, was getting supper, and she moved about
with a weary step.
"Come,” she said at last, with a side glance
at her husband.
Andrew arose and went to the table. He was tempted to speak sn angry word, but controlled bimielf, and kept silent. Hecould find no fault with the chop, nor tbe homemade bread, nor the fragrant tea. Tbey would have cheered hi* inward man, it there bad been s gleam of sunshine on the face of his wife. He noticed that she did not
CAle
“Are you not well, Mary?” The word* on bis Bps, but-be did not utter them, tor the face ol his wife looked so repellent that he feared an irritating reply. And so.in moody aileoce, the twain sst together, until Andrew hsd fini.hed his supper. As be pushed bis chair back, his wife arose and commenced clearing offthp table. "This ta purgatory,” said Lee to himaeif, as be commenced walking tbe floor of hla little breakfast room, with hla hands thrust down into bis trowsers pockets and his chin almost touching bis breast. After removing all tbe dishes and taking tbem ioto the kitchen, Mr*. Lse spread a green cover on the table, and afresh trimmed lamp thereon,went out and shut tbe door after her, leaving her husband alone in hla unpleasant feeling. He took a long, deep breath as she did to, pausing In his walk, stood Mill for a few moments, aod then drawing a paper from ht« pocket, sat down by the table, opened tbe sheet and commenced reading. Singular enough, the words upon which hi* eyea rested were, “praise your wife.” They rather tended to increase tbe disturbance of mind from which he was suffering. “I should like to find some occasion for praising mine.” ' How quickly his thoughts expressed that Ill-natured sect ment. But hi* eyes ware upon the page before him, and he read on: "Praise your wife, man; for pity’s sake, give her a little encouragement. It won’t hurt her.” Andrew Lee raised hit eyes from the paper and muttered, "Oh, yes, that’s all very well; praise Is cheap enough. But praise her for what? For being sullen, and making her home the most disagreeable place in the world?” His eyea fall again to the paper. She has msde your home comfortable, your hearth bright and abtning, your food agreeable; for pity’s sake, tell her you thank her, If notbing more. 8he don’t expect It; It ill make her eyes open wider ths* they have for twenty years; but It will do her good, for all that, you too ” It seemed to Andrew as if this sentence was written just for him and Just for the occasion. It was a complete answer to bis question: Prslse her for what?” And be felt it also as a rebuke. He read no further, for thought came too busy, and in a new direction. Memory was convincing bun of injustice to his wife. She hsd always msde hi* house a* comfortable for him aa her banoe could make it, and bad be offered the light r» tarn of praise or oommendation? Hsd be ever told her of the satisfaction he bad known, or tbe comfort fa* hsd experienced? He wss not able to recall the time or occasion. As he thought thus, Mrs. Lee came In from the kitchen, and, taking her work-basket from ths closet, placed It on the table, and, hitting down without ■peaking, began to sew. Mr. Lee glanced almost stealthily at tbe work In her hands, and taw the bosom of the shirt which she was stitching neatly. He knew that it was for him tbat she was at work. "Praise your wife.” The words were before tbe eyes of bis mind, and he could not took away from them. But he waa not ready for this yet. He still felt moody and unforgiving. The expression of his wife’s face be Interpreted to mean lll-nstare, for which he hsd no patience. His eyes fell upon the newspaper which lay spread out before him, and he read the sentence— "A kind, cheerful word, spoken In a gloomy house. Is tbe little rift In the cloud that let* tbe suoshine through.” Lee struggled with himself n while longer. His own ill-nsturo had to be conquered first; bis moody, areudng spirit had to oe subdued. He thought of many things to say, yet feared to say them least hts wife should meet his address with a cold rebuff. At last, leaning toward her snd taking bold of tbe shirt bosom upon which whe was at work, he said in a voice carefully modulated with kindness: "You are doing the work beautifully, Ma-
ry."
Mrs. Le* made no reply, but her husband did not foil to notice that she lost almost Instantly that rigid erectness with whleh the had been sitting, and that the motion of her

“My shirts are better made and whiter than those of any other man la the shop,” said Lee, encouraged to go oa.

Mrs. Lee turned her face toward her baaband. Thera was light in it, and light In her eye. But there wss something In th* expression of the countenance that a litile puzzled
him.
“Do you think no?” she asked, quite aobnrty. "What a question I” ejaculated Andrew Lee, starting up and going round the side of the table where his wife was sitting. "What a question, Mary,” ho repeated, aa ha stood be-
