"WIij? Bccaaso it is unliealtliy to irritata a fclioolist. Barney ?IcDriar xras a sliootist. CIIAl'l i;n IL At the leader aje of 9 years Barney MeBriar's schoolmarm one day boxed bis ears. Yrhereupon lit'Io Barney rvLippcd out a Lcvie-knife (the present cf a Texaa uncle, vlioso last aIvico was never to tate a LIow from any man), and villi it lie explored the digestive organs of his female preceptress. Tlio ecttootmarm was ever afterward aClicted with chrome dyspepsia, the effect cf this cuttiEg reproof. . After this occurrence the Board of Education at T.Iad-2IuIe flat were trnahle to procure any more Eelioolmarrns. Bo little Barriej'a education was for a time neglected, although ho managed to keep himself in practices by playfully shooting two of his little brothers, who were thereby maimed for life. Peleg lladdain kept school at BullTail Gulch. The interesting little Barney was

sent to Mr. Iladdara's seminary. "When BIr. IladJam heard that he was to be patronized by the youthful McBriar, he made his will and had his life insured. "The wise man foreseeth evil and hideth himself, but the simple pass on and are punished." Peleg Haddara next provided himself with a double-barreled shotimn. " In time of peace prepare for war." .The juvenile McBriar heard of the military preparations of his future pre ceptor with coolness, merely remarking, I'll get him yet." CHAJPrER III. It was a bright May morning in June. Peleg Haddam wa3 running his school under a fall head of steam. Suddenly he detected the sanguinary McBriar reading the " Life of SixteenStringed Jack." " Give me that book, you, sir," said Peleg Haddam to Barney McBriar. " I won't 1 " Peleg snatched the saffron-colored volume from his grasp. In an instant, littlo Barney jerked out his six-shooter and blew oil Mr. Baddam's head! The school, being without a head, immediately broke up. Haddam was interred along with the schoolmarm, and the unfortunate pedantic couple formed a nucleus for Barney McBriar's cemetery. Public opinion was principally on the side of the gallant McBriar. Ee became an object of interest and sympathy, and henceforth was no longer regarded by his elders as a child. The Board of Education experienced a great difilculty in getting another tar get for Barney, as Bull-Tail Gulch was avoided by all peripatetic pedagogues. At length a discharged convict strayed into camp, and, unaware or the risk he ran, was induced to take the school .for $35 a month and "board around." CIIArTER IT. The discharged convict preceptor, complaining on o taortting that ha was obliged to sleep, while boarding in a Butch family, along with four of his pupils, Barney McBriar, who allowed no one to abuse the inhabitants of the Flat save himself, coolly blew the top of the convict's head off. Ho then gave himself tip to the authorities. Forty-six of the leading and influential citizens of the county at once offered to give bail lor Barney McBri.:.r. The day for trial came. The court, after sentencing Oin Hep, a China man, to two years' imprisonment at San Quentiu, for stealing a pair of boots, called the case of The People vs. UcBrian UcBrinr marched proudly into the court-room. The t;ial lasted four hours. Forty or Ctlr vdiaess-M ic-sliUc-d five: -1 ly as t j the ri.-rd .". r :t.-r r f the ...1 !' ..Tt , ,., f vA V a.

Barney had been reading Mai thus on pcp::lation that morning, and he felt that something should be done to prevent the frightful increase of the human race. Moreover, he had lulled no one for three days. IL' s conscience troubled him. "There's one grave needed to make the number even on the left-band row of the third plat of my cemetery," said McBriar. "You mean the stranger's department," said McShoot. ' "McBriarwood" was laid out in four separate plats. One for politicians, one for strangers, one for schoolmasters, and one for miscellaneous Chinamen, etc. At that moment two well-dressed strangers rode up to the door. "I say, you, that's my horse," roared McBriar to one of the strangers. "I lost Mm two years ago. fie has my brand on the off shoulder." "Why, my dear sir, I bought " "You lie," "cried McBriar, rushing forward, pistol in band, and seizing the animal by the bridle. The stranger made a motion with his hand, as if to draw a weapon, when McBriar, without a moment's hesitation, "blew the top of his head off," and McShoot, who, during this altercation, had carefully kept the other stranger covered, also "blew the top of his head off." "Hang it, we're no better off now than before," said McBriar. "ITowso?" said McShoot. , "There were six graves on one side and seven on the other before, while now the number is still uneven, since there will be seven on one side and eight on the other," said McBriar. During the conversation the two strangers died in a quiet, unobtrusive manner. "Never mind, I'll make it all right," said McBriar, and so saying he leveled his pistol at a traveling book and newspaper agent passing by, and skillfully "blew the top of his head off." '' IT ere, take these men and bury them," said McBriar to a passing tramp, giving him a dollar. .

CIIAI'TEE VL McBriar and McShoot gave themselves up to the Justice of the Peace. "Justifiable homicide, warn't it?" said the Justice. "Of cotirse it was," said McBriar. " The cusses both carried concealed weapons." " Well, I'll let you off this time, but you must bo a little more careful, boys," said the magistrate. " Oh, you dry up," said McShoot, " or well blow the top of your head off." The magistrate was silent, but the insult was not forgotten. That night McBriar and McShoot were seated in the Magnolia, playing poker with two cattlo-drovers. In consideration of the fact that McBriar held as many aces a3 he. wanted, and had every lounger in the room telegraphing to him, it is not sinjmlar that he had already won some $2,000. Just then a voice was heard at the door saying, "Mr. McBiiar, come out here a moment." UcBriar stepped to the door, put out his head, and the last vision on which his mortal eyes rested was the outraged Justice of the Peace, behind a doublebarreled goose-gun. The next moment came a stunning report," and McBriar tad "the top of his head blown off." McShoot ran to the assistance of his friend, but he was promptly met by the other barrel, and off went the top of his he .11 also.

" March 2, 1S07." Is there no coercion there ? Why, sir, the record is full. Ia an act making appropriation? for the sundry civil expeiiee of this Government for tho year endi..-i Jlln'e 10, ISCo, it was provided tost ia the courts of the United State tho.-Q fchould bo no exclusion of any witness ou account cf color, or in any other civil action because he is a party interested in the issue to be tried. Is not that extraneous matter? Yet r.non this hiil the record rhows that tho gentleman from Ohio ia found voting in the lint of aven. But, sir, worss than ii thi.J.T..nd that en a memorable occasion in the 'itaiiy-uimh Congress, of which the gentleman from Ohio waa likewise a member, that occurred which will never fade from the minds of the American peoplo. I reft-' to the proceedings looking to the impeachment of the Chief Executive of this republic, which came so uuh resulting iu conviction. On that occasion I iind that a colleague of the gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Ashley, moved to suspend tbe rules to allow Mm to" make a report from the committee on what? Judiciary? No, sir. Prom the Committeu on Territories, in the nature of a resolution impeaching the President of the American Government for high crimes and misdemeanors. On the yc-a-and nay vote I find the gentleman from Ohio voted " aye." And 1 find further, sir, the eotmta upon which those impeachment articles were predicated, audi beg to crU the atteutiou of this committee to ttn-m. Mr, Ashley eaidi "I do impeach Audrevr John8ort Vice President and a.-.iing I'refciilent cf the United States, of high ciimea a lid misdemeanors. "I charge him with utuinntwu of power and violation of la w." And now come the five counts in the indictment, and I beg the careful attention of this committee, for 1 will bring it home to the very issue that the gentleniinlrom Ohio has courted in this contesr: "Inthithi 1ns corruptly used the appointing pov, r." I put the gentleman ou his candor and rabmh to him to say whether he ever intended to impeach tie President for ihat The country knows he Ud ;-o' That appointing power bad not been wielded in such a wavas to merit the censure of the gentleman himself. "Secondly, iu t.-aj ha has corruptly used tha pardouit-g power." Did tha geut!emn,u fnat Ohio mean to Impeach him fur tiia? ? I will answer for him, no. Everybody knows he did not "Tliirdly. iu ihaE Le has corruptly used the veto power." And tbcre was where the sting came in. It was the exercise of that constitutional pi probative; it was the employ meat- of the veto tn'pr, for which the House and the gentiemr j fti-i Ohio voted these articles of iinpea.vlaa.i.t, coupled with one other oiTcneo only. " Pourthl y, in that he has corruptly di-rcr 1 of tho public property of the United ta j " That was a mere formal cortct in the indictment, and I doubt not tiat the gentleman from Ohio will admit it. " fifthly, ia that he has corruptly interfere I In wbat? " In the e'ectians, and did acts which, in conter?p!atiou of tbe coustitaiion, are high ci: and misdi-uieiuors." There were but tsro counts in that indictment upon -whic'i it was proponed to impt tch tha Executive; it was tha exircise of the t tto power and it was his interference, not in elections, but bis iiiterf ercrjee to prevent t' e i tferenee of tlta armed r-owtr of this (loveniirreat ia tha elections cf this coantry. si t dcatjaciation ft ill ringirj ia that gent'trnn'a ears which the then President bad cip.T I 've 1 i i 1, s jn'cview tv i 'i G ".

But that gentleman did more; he went further and, if possible, he did worse. I mean to deal in exact fairness. I even mean to be liberal in the construction I put upon Lis utteraiices. ... ML Chairman, it is generally true that the grave sufucea to silence the tongue of detraction. It is not often that its darkened portals are invaded to pronounce eefere critic fim, even thotigli richly dfisfervfedj if it la to be frsJUouusd upon the dead. But tho gentleman f rom Ohio, forgetting himself in his speech on last Saturday, forgot also to observe this manly and magnanimous rule. By that speech he certainly must have etmghtj or; if not seeking, he w9 Unfortunate in fcrotltiarig the iaipresBioil that a disticiguiaheil dead iSena'or from thd State of feentucky bad introduced into the Federal Senate Chamber the l id wbieh we, b.y this amendment, etiek to tepeal. rtnd to send his naiile down to postefiry to be.blastdd by ths act, if indeed he had performed it, and that charge to rest upon that gentleman's own high authority. I hold in my hand the very bill, No. 17, which was introduced upon the oth of January, PHt-i, by Senator Powell, of Kentucky. There lies before me, on my desk, the manly; statesman ike Pud patriotic; bold tittSmat-a that he delivered in tho shape of a speech upon tho consideration of that bid. I challenge the gcnticriiAn to lind within the limits of this measure a single, solitary provision, line, sentence, word or syllable that this amendment seeks to repeal. Does not tho gentleman know if he does not, it is his fault that tile amendment incorporated upon this bill which we now seek to repeal was incorporated and ingrafted upon it, not when the Senate was irt Committee dt thfewhslos but ia open Senate, upon motion cf Senator Pomeroy, and, when the vote was taken upon that amendment by yeas and nays, every solitary Democrat in that chamber voted against it and put the seal of his condemnation upon it, Mr. Powell among the number? Here elands Senator Powell's utterance, in which he explains how and why it was that the Democratic mom" bers ia that body end this body at last aceepfbd this As the best that cotild be had; notwithstanding, against their: protest the ingrafting of tbe Pomeroy atsiendtueritj because it was to be taken in lieu of what they charged wa9 trbC, of what tlie President of the United 8tateS in fell official oommucieition td Congress had declared to be trite, that in the absence of even the limitations that amended bill would give, themilitAry authorities and ofneers of the Government had arrcgited.to themselves the poer iaalt tho lately seceding States ef declaring what should bo the qua irication of voters f.nd what should be the qualification to hold office. It was as the least offensive of two offensive alternatives. It was not candid, it was cot fair; the record rebukes the gentleman for, eeekiDg to place a dead statesman ia such a" false position. - But, Mr. Oliairman, it is useless to follow these thiEgs further. It ia not, sir, for me to waste the time and trflnch upon the patience of this committee by following" otit th tergiversations through which the republican party has wound itself to this high plane of protest against revolutionary legislation. Why, eir, tbe gentleman from Ohio in 8T2, made a speech npoa this floor which he will not deny. It was, as ia always the case with his efforts, an adroit s well as an able speech. In that he declared that the minority to which we then belonged, bttt in Which ia God's providence w.9 are no longer found ho declared that the minority were guilty of revolution.
