' : Harper's Weekly, contains the following pertinent and sensible remans on the conclusion of the President's trial: ' ''''' "For not the Senate only, but the whu country has been sitting as a Court of Impeachment. The country will also render its verdict, whatever that of the Senate may be. It is not likely to be confused by the loud cry of Congressional absorption of power, because it sees that in the nature of government, however' skillfully checks and balances may be devised, 'bo checkmate can be supposed to be in tended, and therefore the final, supreme power must reside somewhere. It knows that in curaysfem it resides with the people, under certain prescribed forms, . Under those forms it remains with theoi always and at every moment; and therefore, when the Executive of the United 'States, in the judgment of the People's Representatives, , is accused of high misde meaoors, and removed from office, it is still the people exercising nnder those forms the supreme' sovereign power. If the action of the President within the limit of those of his powers which are vagus and doubtful betrays a disposition to thwart the will of the country as decidedly expressed in Congress, it is the duty of Congress to restrain and control his action as far as it lawfully may, and to prevent the mischief which he may contemplate. And when his dullness or daring transend the plain bounds of his official discretion it is the duty of the House instantly to arraign him, and in the name of the People whom it represents to state why it demands bis removal. : -.- i . If the judgment of the Senate shall be what we have no doubt the intelligent public opinion of the country expects, Andrew Johnson will be removed from the office whose sworn duty he has violated, and which he has disgraced beyond precedent. He is not a man to remain ilent. He will doubtless do all that he can do by speeches upon the stump to secure the ascendency of the party that was friendly to the rebellion, and hates the results which the war secured results which will surely be gradually established in the national conviction and policy. : If removed, he passes from public official life without a serious regret upon the part of any human being. He cannot claim for himeelft nor will any man claim for him, the dignity and consideration of a martyr to great principles. If, indeed, his character and career bad bean spotless, noble and humane: bad he committed the same offense with a clear and palpably upright purpose, although it might have been necessary to show by the last resort that no man, with whatever honest intention, must presume to substitute his will for the law, yet then the homage that the world always gladly pays to honest error and humane purpose would hat followed his retirement. , t. : : . If the judgment of the Senate shall be other than we believe it must be, that of the intelli- - genes and loyalty of the country will still remainst The usurpation, indeed, will continue and increase. The national agitation will be deepened. The spirit that rebelled, and is still defiant, will be qaickened into still more baleful activity. The country will move one step nearer to breaking its pecuniary faith with its creditors, add its moral faith with the freedmen. The heart of every lovet of liberty and of free institutions in the world will ache as he watches the results of the great victory of civilization delayed. But the conscience, and intelligence, and devotion that successfully surmounted every trial of the - war, would not decline the embittered political contest that the acquit, tal of the President would provoke; and the same sagacious, silent,1 resistless leader who triumphantly ended the war, would bring the old foe under a new face to unconditional surtender.'.' 1:2 h"-.-'-1 ' -r. .'- ,Baoi'io.

THE VALLEY OF DEATH. -----

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, with Gen. Palmer's engineer corps of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, writing from Camp Coda, on the Mohave river, California; gives the following description of a remarkable valley in that region: Eighty miles northwest of this camp is the well known and much dreaded "Death Valley." It is said to be lower than the level of the sea, and wholly destitute of water. Mr. Spears, our intelligent guide, who visited this remarkable valley several times, gave me the following account of it, with the reason for its terrible name: The valley is some 50 miles long by 30 in breadth, and save at two points, it is wholly encircled by mountains, up whose steep sides it is impossible for any but expert climbers to ascend. It is devoid of vegetation, and the shadows of birds or wild beasts .never darkened its white, glaring sand. In the early days, trains of emigrants bound for California, passed, under the direction of guides, to the south of Death Valley, by what is now known as the ''old Mormon road." In the year 1850, a large train, with some 300 emigrants, mostly from Illinois and Missouri, came south from Salt 'Lake, guided by a Mormon. When near Death Valley, a dissent broke out in a part of the train, and twenty-one families came to the conclusion that the Mormon knew nothing about the country, so they appointed one of their number a leader and broke off from the main party. This leader determined to turn due west, so with the people, and wagons, and flocks, he traveled for three days, and then descended into the broad valley, whose treacherous mirage promised water. They reached the centre, but only the white, glaring sand, bounded by the scorched peaks, met their gaze on every hand. Around the valley they wandered, and .one by one the men died, and the panting flocks stretched themselves in death under the hot sun.— Then the children, crying for water, died at their mothers' breasts, and; with swollen tongues and burning vitals, the mothers followed. Wagon after wagon was abandoned, and strong men tottered and raved, and died. After a week's wandering a dozen survivors found some water in the hollow of a rock in the mountains. It lasted but a short time; then all perished but two, who, through some miraculous means, got out of the valley, and followed the trail of their former companions. Eighty-seven persons, with hundreds of animals, perished in this fearful place, and since then the name of Death Valley has been applied to it. Mr. Spears says that when he visited it last winter, after the lapse of eighteen years, he found the wagons still complete, the iron. work, and tires bright, and the shriveled skeletons lying in many places side by side. ---<>--- - A CAPITAL GHOST STORY. : We do not generally give much credence to ghosts, but the following, which we find in theL-nchburg News, appears so intrinsically reasonable, in view of the awful doom which doubtless awaits such wretches, that we can not for a moment doubt its truth. The storv is especially interesting to all newspaper readers.,. That apparitions .do not al-. ways wander without sufficient cause, J is proved by the well attested facts, which we give below : " : "Last Tuesday fortnight, as Mrs. J, a lady of literary tastes and studious habits, sat reading in her drawing if room, the clock on the mantlepiece struck twelve ; as the last stroke reverberated through the apartment, the door was flung wide open ; in the act of raising her head to repel the intrusion, unrung for, of her . servant, her eyes rested on the form of her late husband. She screamed and fell senseless on the carpet. This, of course, ' brought up every member of the household; 'restoratives were administered, ' and ' when Mrs. J had regained her suspended faculties, being a woman oi strong mln J and highly cultivated intellect, she felt disposed to consider the whole distress she had undergone as the result of certain associations between the melancholly tale she had been perusing anil her Ute loga operating apon a partiallyderanged system. She,-- however, ; considered it advisable that her maid servant should repose in her chamber, lest' any return of what she considered a nervous affection should distress herself and alarm the family. Last Thursday night, feeling stronger and, in better spirits , than she had for some months past, Mrs. J. dispensed with the services of her attendant, retiring alone lo -her chamber, and went to bed a little before ten o'clock; 5 Exactly as the clock struck twelve she was awakened from her sleep, and distinctly beheld the apparition she had seen before, advancing from the table (on vhich stood her night lamp,) till it stood opposite to and drew the curtains of her bed. She described her I very blood retreating with icy coolioess r. . . . . - rr.i. . to ner' near irom every vein. inc couutenanoe of her; beloved in life wore not Its usual benevolent aspect; the eyes once beaming with affection were now fixed ' with stern regard on the trembling' being who with the courage of desperation thus adjured him : ' 'Charles ! dear Charles ! why are you conio again ?M j Jessie!" alowly and sole tnly. gasped the shadowy form, "Jessie! pat my vfcwirirtft AccouTs, and 1st me rest in pate a !M

We resolved we bed the utmost confidence in ; Andro6 Johnson, Pres dejit uv the Yoonited States, pervided he. wasn't impeeched : ef he wuz then we shood hev the priveilge uv consderin him worthy uv. confidence or not, ez : the circumstances uv the case should warrant. 2.

That the thanks uv the Democracy is du people uv the South for their forbearance in not risin to sweep the radical faction from the face uv the earth. At this pint Bigler arose. He panted to know ef this convenshen stylin itself Democratic, wuz agoin to' be satisfied with them resolooshens? He called for the readin uv the reguler one without which no Demoratio platform , wuz ' complete. He refered to the one dedicatin this Government forever to white mem "Here it is," he sed:... Resolved, That the Government wuz established by white men, and that white men keep it in tact for white men and there posterity forever. "I demand, ez a white man," said this Bigler, "that this resolooshen be added. Let every white man, every proud Caucashen, who believes in race, say 'aye' and with emphasis." ? . r And every one uv em hollered out "aye" with all their mite.' :,Good!" sed, Bigler, "good." White men and their 'posterity! wat a noble sentiment. Say aye' to my resolooshen agin." And they yelled "aye,"- agic"Now Pollock, brother in the troo faith, newly, babtized, will yuo open the door? , Its better to be a 'doorkeeper ; in the house uv Democracy than to dwelt in the tents of Ablishnisin.'

Democratic Economy, yi The Madison Courier haa an article illustrative of the happy effects of "Democratic" manipulation of county finances. It presents some striking contrasts between Republican and "Democratic" management and although we have heretofore presented most of its facts,' we condense the. following from the v Courier's collation for the benefit of any who may. be impressed with a sense' of "Demo cratic" economy1:' "' In Fountain County lor the year 1866 the taxes reached the respectable figure of 82,60 on each $100 of taxable property.,t In '66 the Democrats" had a working" majority in that county. '"'V "' In Blackford, another' reliable Democratic county, a man Whb has $1,000 ' of taxable property pays; if he has no real estate $26,15. " ' ' : ' In Floyd the "county tax is 60c on the hundred dollars, or twice as much as is levied rin the steady Republican county of Jefferson.' : The, Democratic county of Dearborn is alxmt the same size' of Jefferson,' and the county tax is one dollar on the hundred of valuation, or more ' than three times as much as the levy in Jefferson county. ' ' 5" The counties of St. Joseph and Cass are nearly equal " in population, the first is Republican the . county Ievj' is twenty-five cents, and in Cass Democratic one dollar on the $100 valuation, or four times as much as in St. Joseph. Kosciusko is decidedly a Republican county. The county levy is. 26 cents on the one hundred dollars of valuation, and in Democrat Blackford the county levy is 60 cents on the hundred dollars of valuation. The comparison of taxes assessed ia R epubliGan counties, with the tax levied in Democratic counties will show almost invariably, a like margin in favor of Republican management of county affairs. Oppressive taxation and lavish expenditures to fatten party favorites, with too frequent ..cases of defalcation, mark the Democratic rule everywhere. .Every boast of gains made by the Democratic party has the ring of increased taxation. Hobsk Fi Ksa is not likely to become popular in England, because the women compare it to cat's, meat, and the men say it tastes as a saddle smells. Still, being fashionable ia France, there are ho pea. . I, , A freed man. who left Charlatou, South Carolina, for Liberia, a few months ago, writes back the most glowing accounts of matters and things there. He says he' "never felt free until he reached .' the colored man's own republic," and is quite rapturous in describing the luxuriant fertility of the country. He ad vises all his friends to join him in the I new "land of promise." A theological student being t urged by some young ladies to join in a quadrille, declined; and turning to a lady near by, asked,, with rather an imposing air: "Do you think,. Mrs. L , that a man ought to dance who expects to fill the pulpit ?" The lady replied : "I don't see why he should not, provided he have grace for both.",.
