Republican, of the 21st ult, contains an article which will be admired iov its candor, if not for the sentiments it contains. It says that u there is good reason to believe that the strength of the Batm ler-Pendlcton school of repudiation fi- " naneiers at the West has been largely ovu er-Mtimated, particularly in the rcpublican party. "Wherever the dc44 mand has been the loudest that the national debt should be paid in paper, it "has been the voice of a noisy politician that has spoken, and not that of the influential or responsible men or journals "of the party." The Republican will Aid, to its sorrow, that it has had no "good reason to believe " that the doctrine of paying the bonds in greenbacks, has, so far as the democracy are concerned, been over-estimated in the West. Thc success ef thin policy has not only not been over estimated, but it has been vastly underestimated by eastern bondholders nnd their defenders, as any one at all conversant with the spirit and temper of the western preis and people will testify. So far as the latter clau:c of tlic above liract is concerned, we are indifferent. The defence of radicalism, in its devious paths, its utter foulness, its grinding tyrtanny, murder and rapine, is not our purpose ; but that our readers may know to whom the Rrjniblican refers, we quote the 4th resolution adopted by the republican state convention held at Indianapolis on the 20th of last month : 4. The public debt made necessary by Hi rebellion should be honestly paid, and 11 the bonds issued therefor bhould paid in legal-tenders, commonly called greenbacks, except where, by their express terms, they provide otherwise, anu paid in such quantities a3 will make the circulation commensurate with the commercial wants of the country, and so as to avoid too great inflation of the currency, and an increase in the price of gold. The "doctrine of repudiation," as the Republican is pleased to term it, is emphatically a doctrine of the people, and notwithstanding th . wrathy fulminations of psalm-singing New England bondholders, it will effectually withstand both criticism and satire. The " nation's faith has been pledged," cry the money-lenders. Hy whom has it been pledged? By Jay Oook Co., the authorized bond agents of the government ; and in pledging the 41 faith " aforesaid, these gentlemen have, in the last four or five years, netted the eomfortable sum of ?15,000,000 ! Not content with thus robbing the people, these Shylock3 expect them to come forward and pay the " pound of flesh " stipulated in the contract, and also to cheerfully deliver up their very life-blood, because, forsooth, these worthies havo promised that it shall be so. How will our Indiana radicals make the financial plank of their platform tally with their expressed preference for Grant as their candidate for the presidency? The Republican gives the true reason why radicals should support Grant, when it says, 11 the strength and aggressive energy of the republican party is chiefly centered 11 at the West, and it is encouraging to M see the signs that it will come op gladly " and unitedly to the support of Gen. Grant, even if there were no other reason, than that he is a 4 bowlh'Adt r$ can"dulate 9 There has never been a doubt as to the character of Grant's backer. He is the 41 bond-holder's candidate," and anything that ' noisy politicians " may ay to the contrary will not alter the fact. This being the case, the pleasing equestrian performance is here presented, of the radical black-aud-tan mousc-colorcu patriots of Indiana riding, at the same time, their famous " bond-holder's" horse, U. Soupterecn Grant, and the democratic Uod, '-Repudiation" so-called. Their success, in this undertaking, will probably äqual that of the man who attempted to ride in two boats and was drowned between the two. Kaietjat Las undertaken the

performance of many difficult feats, but Indiana radicals will discover this to b3 the inosi difficult of all. GAG LAW. The congressional plan of rushiog the impeachment business through without allowing time for debate, is in perfect keeping with all the past actions of the ruling party. In a matter so grave as the impeachment of a great nation's chief magistrate, it would seem that nothing would be lost to the country by having both sides of the question presented, in a fair and dispassionate manner. This, however, is not their purpose. Their aim is to depose the president, and to the accomplishment of this aim all considerations of fairness and decency are made subservient. The democratic members of the house attempted to present a protest against being gagged, but it was ruled out of order. The protest coatained, among others, the following grave charges against congress, and no one can deny their justness: '; The house of representatives has ceased to be a deliberative body, and the minority have been compelled to vote on the most.important questions without any proper or reasonable time for debate or consideration. To such an pxtent has this daugerous and oppressive practice obtained, that measures, affecting vitally the whole country, and the dearest and most sacred interests of our constituents, tending, as we believe, to the subversion of our republican form of government, in their very nature demanding of the people and representatives the most careful examination and scrutiny, have been hurried through forms of legislation without being printed, without one word of debate or one moment's consideration, without the opportunity of the undersigned to protest except in violation of the theu operating order enforced bT the majority aj the order of the house." The action of the rump in this instance is but a fair illustration of their sincerity in advocating the freedom of speech and of the press. The lane that has no turning is said to be of great length. It is believed that the radical lane will soon change its course, and that the virtue of silence will be practiced by many a rauting radical, whose voice has been raised against the rights of the minority on every and all occasions. So mote it be.

AT WASHINGTON. The situation at Washington present no very alarming features. Stanton still boards at the war office, and has had the guard doubled to prevent harm to his precious carcass. The president is waiting. Micawber-like, for "something to turn up." The senate is j owering over a set of rules to govern them in tbc trial of the president. The house of representatives is still bringing in articles of iinpcachmeat, and " Cvcrjthing in iovclyl" G. F. TRAIN. Thi3 old lady is again confined, in Dublin. "Won't some humane potentate colonize ber in some far distant country, or send her as a missionary to the BorioboolaGhaians,or some other race of cannibals where Iiis further usefulness would be likely to be impaired? We hope the " irrepressible babbler " will enjoy the full benefit of a lengthy confinement, at least till after the nest presidential election. On Saturday, says the Chicago Times, Mr Boutwcll, chairman of the select committee in the house at Washington to propose articles of impeachment against the president, reported the same. Thoy are ten in number. The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixtl seventh, eighth, and ninth, arc all about the removal of Htanton and the appointment of Thomas. Tiny present, or attempt to present, nine different phases of high crime or misdemeanor committed Vy the president in the effort to remove a bad man and a mean man from hi.- cabinet. The tenth article is about the conversation between Gen. Emory and the president concerning the purpose of the bill creating Grant general. The tenth article is utterly puerile and contemptible. It is based on the testimony of Gen. EmoryThere is not a v, ord iu that testimony which does in any manner lend to convict the president of an intention to evade or defy the bill. So fief ns the tenth article is concerned' it amounts to nothing. It rests entirely on Emory's testimony. It is doubtful eveu that the managers of impeachment will mako any serious effort to sustain the charges preferred in the article. To do so would make them ridiculous. It is plain from the testimony of Emory that the president was very cautious and guard' '. in the conversation reported. The whole question is, therefore, narrowed down to the removal of Stanton. If the president had a right to remove Stanton, he had a right to appoint Thomas. The authority to name a successor necessarily follows the power to remove. To suppose anything else is non6en.se, considering the language oJ the constitution concerning removals; and' were the constitution silent as to nominations and appointments, the common sense of every man would tell Um that civil 'offices cannot remain vacant, and that the power to appoint and the power to remove should be vested in the saiue department of the gevernnient. It follows from this that the senate will have but two questions to consider that of jurisdiction, as congress is now constituted, being conceded in the trial of'thc president. The first is, DU he violate the law in the re moval of Stanton ? And the second is, Did ho do so with criminal intent? This question of intent was brought promiuently forward in the debate on the article of impcachmcnti in the house on Saturday, by Mr. JcnckesThat gentleman said : "He proposed to set up the facts alleged, and couple them with the averment tluit the acts and declarations of the president show ft criminal intention on his part to exercise the powers and authority of commander-in-chief, in Violation of the act of congress and of the constitution." Whether the house shall adopt the amendment tv the articles reported hv Boutwcll-

which Mr. Jenckes proposes to ofier, or not, will in no wise affect the duty of the senate to consider the question of intent. It is usual for indictments to allege a criminal in. tent as well as violation of law, and, in criminal cases, the fudge alwajs charges the jury to consider the purpose of the accused. It i probable the select committee wished to have the Iprcsident tried on technical

- rounds, and for this reason failed to embody the idea of Jcucke. He is an honest fanatic, and proposes to have the trial conducted fairly.

BltS Senator Yates began a forward movement u; Pennsylvania avenue. In emulation of Gen Banks1 Bed river Campaign, his commissary stores were deployed to the front. The march proved unsteady, and Yates fell back on 1m base. 5-30 Mr. Seward says the affair will be over in 90 days, lie has just finished a Cable gram of 5,653 words to each plenipo in Europe. 5: 15 Excitement increased by the proposed removal of the soup-ton re en from the war-office. Thomas says he has a military order from the president, and is determined to carry it out. This indicates unpleasant business. While these divers dispatches came from the national capital, others went thither from the Illinois cipital thus: Gen. John A. Logan : All right. Stand by Stanton whatever may be the end. I. N.

CniCAfiO, March 2, 1868. Ed. Democrat. Yesterday noon the severest snow-torin of the set -on begau here, and it continued with unabated fury until near daylight tht3 morning. The snow did not fall but seemed to settle gradually down, whirling in fierce gusts of wiud, which seemed to burst at one time from all directions. Before it got to the earth it lost no chance of getting into wayfarer's eyes, down their necks, up thoir trowscr leg?, into their sleeves, aud forcibly entering every nook and crevice about windows nnd doors. Even when once down it would not stay down, but swept in thick, cloudy masses across and along tho streets, rendering crossings almost impassible, and completely filling up basement entrances and all points where a lodgment could be effected. To-day it is reported that the railroads are seriously obstructed, but the telegraphic lines are down to such an extent as to render any knowledge on this matter rather uncertain. Still tho wind howb and the snow drifts. The street railway companies have men at work clearing their tracks, and their contract has no immediate prospect of termination. The influence of the storm is felt everywhere. On 'chango everything is exceedingly dull, and iu business houses, although the spring trade is now fairly open, a Sunday-like quiet prevails. It is only temporary, however, for the market season of the great emporium of the west has beguu, and the time of prosperity is now, for the voice of the buyer is heard in the land. Fur some time back the grain market has been undergoing a sbw but steady decline and it is believed thai it will experience a still farther fall. There arc rumors afloat that the elevator men, some time since flooded tli- Si nket with prallt rcccipt.i, Ii sort of mythical paper grain, and have made au immense speculation out of thidecliue; cut this, of course, is something which nobody can prove. A big field for operations iu grain will be shortly opened here, buying at the lowest point, "buyer the month," and forcing present owners to hold on for the rise which is inevitable to ward the Opening of navigation. There has becu considerable excitement here of late over the mysterious disappearance of l number of persons, both our own citizens and strangers. People have gone out for a drink in the evening and never come back. They may turu up like the French womau's husband, who went out to buy a cigar, and was gone eighteen years ; but that is a long time to wait. Dark hiuts of murders iu lonely streets, victims shoved uuder the ice in the river, or dis.seeted, etc., arc afloat. But one little incidcut occurring a few days since, relieves a little of this gloom. A young mau holding a prominent position of responsibility aud trust uuder the Northwestern railroad company disappeared one day. His friends were agonized with fears that he had been murdered. Piukertou's detective police were set to work on the case, and found out that the young man had not been killed, but that he had dissipated some $10,000 of the company's funds and then "jumped the town." The attractions of an intellectual diversion named after an Egyptian king, Pharoh, modernized to " faro," arc said to have "busted" that young man. He has not been pursued. Permit me to direct the attention of your business readers to the important enlargement and extension of facilities for trade of the old established and popular wholesale drug firm of J. H. Jteed & Co., located on the north-east of Lake street and Wabash avenue. They have recently made a very considerable addition to their assortment of druggists sundries and fancy goods, of which they now make quite a prominent feature, possessing the largest stock in the west and offering them at rates of unexampled liberality. Alldruggist's goods have been steadily declining in prico for four years past aud are now at their lowest figure, but Messrs Ttccd A Co. offer an additional advantage to buyers by their system of importing their own goods and buying from manufacturers direct without the intervention of eastern jobbers. By these means and others, such as less rental expense, etc., they are enablod to sell goods hero at as cheap rates as they can be bought iu New York, thus saving to the purchaser expense of freight, delay, and risk of damage. They have this season a maguifiecnt stock of all varieties of paints, oils and varnishes, at the lowest prices. A funny little incident occurred at Mcricker's theatre on Saturday evening

Yates resigns, he happy.

A lady who ieeins hersclt'justificd in boing jealous of her lord, and watchful of his actions, came there disguised in male attire, for the purpose of watching him, as Ac heard that he was to be therewith another woman. Her disguise was not good. Protuberances which such habilimeuts were uever made to cover, a gait which betrayed her at once, and a face really " pretas a picture," told the sham too clearly.

She .. is politely handed out of the house and went home to find her husband there, quite auxious about her absence, and almost as much ashamed of her as she was of herself. To-morrow evening the grand masquerade ball of the Gern.ania Maenncrchor, will come off at the Crosby Opera House, under the powerful auspices of the ., t . -Ii i Li . uorse jouneu. it win, no uouoc, rivai the greatest triumph of its kind in New York, which has until now led the van in sach sports. There arc to be rich and comic decorations, gorgeous processions, living caricatures of almost efrery prominent person from President Johnson to King Theodore, of Abyssinia, representatives of the new dominions of the United States, Alaska and St. Thomis, delegations from the animal kingdom, everything an d anything which is ridiculous and funny. C. A Wonderful riyin? Machine iu lrnciaa of ,i 'oust mot ton. W. 8. Hutchings, of St. Louis, tho in w ,n" 0 hCftt ventor, has laid his plans before the ceronauts in America, and all pronounce it the only success ever made in atrial navigation in navierating the air and turning in anv direction, at anv hehrhth. witli the pleasure of the navigator. This wonderful f .i.. . . nui ir..i

invention of navigating the air has at burtl8 iUC PMieana.

succeeded. The model has already been I buiit, is 28 inches in height, and works' with tho utmost ease, and upon meehanical and Philosophien! principles.

The princi- j plo is entirely now, aud the invention claims the compression of hot and cold air in running a caloric engine which is at- J tached to the back.

The committee of the house to conduct tho impeachment was iu session over three henri, today, and agreed to report two additional articles of impeachment. One is substantially the Baticr article, voted down yes terday. I he second article is drawn by ! Bingham, charging the president with denouncing congress as "an unconstitutional aud illegal body, banging upon the verze of the government," aud as a " rump cougress," and other opprobrious epithets, intended to bring congress into disrepect and disgrace. Subsequently, those articles were reported to the house, and alter a brief debate were adopted, by nearly a party vote. The democrats made ineffectual attempts, by points of order, to prevent the consideration of the additional articles, but eon tented themselves, finally, by ridiculing them. It is understood that other articles will be offered to-morrow. The re-opening of the entire question caused considerable surprise and uo little j comment, the latter being unfavorable to the success of impeachment. Mr.Eldridgc, of Wisconsin, will move, to-morrow, to amend the articles by adding one declaring that Johuson committed a high crime and misdemeanor in speaking of the secretary of the United States senate disrespectfully and contemptuously as a "dead duck.'' (len. Cary, if he can get the Hour, will move further to amend by adding a copy of 'he charges aud specifications agaiust Warren Hastings. ss4a Petitions were presented in tho lower house of congress, ou Tuesday, by the boards of trade of Chicago, IJufl'alo and Detroit, recommending an appropriation for the completion of the harbor at Michigan City, Ind., as well for the protection of shipping on Lake Michigan, sj a harbor of refuge, aud also as au outlet to tho growing trade of northern Indiana, and an ?itrrpoi for tho iron ere of Lake Superior and tho lumber of several states.
