He thought thc presence of Judge Chase would b.' beneficial not alone to the interests or the accused, but to all other inti. .-. Jndge Underwood said the arrangement propos? ed by the Government was agreeable to the Court, and particularly because the Court earnestlv de aired that Judge Chase should *it upon the case. f It was due to the defendant that two Judges should sit in order that au app al might be taken on dis? puted questions and tae case earned up by thc defendant to a higher Court.

The minimum charge for a message between auv part of Great Britain and the city of New York to lu- ?5Ss., or $25, in gold, for ten words or less, not containing in all more than fifty letters. Thc charge for each additional word of " not exceeding live lottors, ten shillings, or $2 50, iu gold. All extra charges for code messages are abolish? ed. Tho company, however, will not unaertako to accept every form of codo that may be presented, unless at special rates.

A foreign chemist has invented a simple pro cess tor making ice. He pours water into a bottle until it is half full, and theu subjects it to the a< - tion of an air-pump. A3 the vacuum is produced, the water Icses the air it contains, and ia at length vaporized. The air and steam drawn off passes through a cylinder containing sulphuric acid, which instantly absorbs all the watery particles as they pass. Tho outside ot Hie bottle is soou cov? ered with dew, tho temperature of the water falls, a few needles are seen swimming about in it, and immediately afterward it loses its transparency. and ice is obtained. A kilogramme of sulphuric acid will produce nearly three pounds of ice in this way. % _ - M.

Things In Washington. LATEST PHASE OF TUE IMPEACHMENT MATTER JORITY BEPCilT FAVORING. IMPEACHMENT Pl BLE ACTION OF CONORE88. The Washington correspondent o? tho Haiti Sun writes under dato of November 24 : Impeachment is thu absorbing topic bor nigh!, mid there is more interest manifested on any former occasion, probably growing 01 the fu t that upon apparently reliable informi tho majority report of tho judiciary comm will favor tho adoption of articles of itnpeachn Your correspondent has no positive evidence any of the committee has underdone a chan-, opinion since the statement of the chairman Wilson), at the close of the July session, i which it appeared that (Ivo members opposod four favored impeachment; but to-night i unqualifiedly usscrtod that Slr. Churchill, ol committee, iias chanced position, and will to-i row concur with Mc.y.s. 13outwcll, Willii Lawrence .and Thomas, in their report rei mending that Mr. Johnson b; impeached. ' intelligence comes from such source as to title it to attention, and ie generally cree by correspondents who have heretofore lieved Ur. Churchill would join in tho re against impeachment. It is known that the poachers have .-trained every point during past tbreo days to induce Messrs. Churchill Woodbriilire to give way from their former ? tions, and there is sonic reason for believing I have succeeded ns to ono of these members; nc thcless no one expects the House to adopt arti of impeachment, whatever may be tho repoi the committee, for the result ol diligent canv ing bv Republican members show ninety-six v as almost certainly opposed to the measure, wi thc impeachers themselves only claim forty-tl votes on their side in the House, influential publicans are industriously working among m hers to delcat the project, and it is confidently sertod to-night that the House, immediately a receiving the report of tho committee, will adjoi and if th*; Senate eau he induced to consent, adjournment will bo to tho second of Deceml thus leaving the impeachment matter undecidi SUSPENSION OF THE PRESIDENT FBKDOUJ IMPE? MEN I-OPINION OF HON. KEVERD? JOHNSON DISABILITY-TH h STJ?YENS PROPOSITION DEM [SHED. Hon. Reverdy Johnson lias prepared an apr? dix lo his last pamplct on "Thc Dangerous Coi tion of tho Country," which conclusively ans? the Stevens proposition thar tho President cati suspended during the pendency of itnpeachmt Senator Johnson, in that appendix says : '.'Since the Ant edition of this pamphlet, writtr has been informed that some of tho mt bera of Congress profess to bo' ot thc opinion t that body can, by statute, declare that randene* an impeachment of tho President shall conant a disability, on his part, to perform tho functii of his office. "It is supposed tiiat by snch legislation he n be brought within thc meaning of tho clause tho first section of th? second article of tho Ci stitntion which provides for lue removal i amongst other causes, bia 'inability' to diadiai the powers and duties thereof. "The answers to the proposition are several a Conclusivo : "1. The clause does not contemplate a mi suspension or temporary removal. Thc remo provided for in such case is the same as thatwhi is to result from a conviction upon impeachmoi orirom death, or resignation, which, of course, not a temporary but a permanent one. Tho i mo val on condition is, also, not only poi ni .mei bul is followod by tho further judgment of d qualification to hold any other office under t Government. "lt will hardlv bc maintained that Congress ca by statute, eieatua greater punishment than tb or make it less. Tho subject was evidently n designed to be submitted to thc discretion of Co gress. This heine; so, for the same reason Co cress is not entrusted with tho power to deda any other judgment tn tho case ol' removal fro 'inability,' than the ono which is to enano the ha Coning of either of the other events mentioued ie clause. "2. The 'inability' mentioned is such au inabi ty as renders tho Proaidont permanent ly incap ble of discharging his duties. Any other interpr tation would give to Congress tho authority provide that temporary absence from tho seat government, or temporary Hicknesa, or any otb event should constitute au 'inability.' Tbcro i also, no judicial judgment to be pronounced such acose. Thu removal, as in the case of deaf or resignation, is to take place tho moment tl contingency happens, and the duties Of thc oftk instantly devolve upon tho vice-President. "3. As the judgment, on impeachment, inflic no personal punishment, as the trial may po on i well without as with tho presence in the -ouate the Preside it, and as that body his no authorit to compel bia attendance, it is obvious that he just as capable during the trial to perform tho di ties of his office, aa ho is before or after a jud) ment of a .quittai. Under t ti o power to pass a laws necessary and proper to execute tho po wei granted, no such authority as the one in questie belongs to Congress, no legislation being Decessai to effect the object of tho claire-- that King ai couipliehed the moment tho event occura of a 'inability,' within the constitutional muauing < that term." THE FINANCIAL O.UE8TION IS CONGRESS. We take tho following from the Washington coi respondent of the New York Horald : The financial question will no doubt, be th leading one in the forthcoming deliberation t Congress, and one upon which more diversity c sentiment will bo expressed among members r Ino Radical party than thc public IH prepared t expect. Several distinguished Senators in comer sation this evening evinced a wavering dispositioi on the score of maintaining views with which the, have beon hithorto iden.iUod in favor of paying th principal and interest of the national debt exclu .?vely in coin. It ia reported that there are mor mcmbTs ot the S nate than have publicly express od themselves in favor ol tho policy enunciate*, by Bon. Butler. Soor?taxy UoCullooh's plan u contraction is opposed by ono prominent Senator and bi? policy of ttccumul?>-':iig gold in the Trcasu ry in denouhcuu by anothnr.' There io mud stress laid on tho construction of tho lav,' rclafir.: to the payment ot the principal of tho five twontiea, and when tho question comes u* for discussion it may bo antler Kited, fron the present temper iii which tho matter ia dis cUaS-?d. ?L?a! ?LX.'.'y changes of opinion will b< wrought in tbs Views of mos., r.;cn*bi>rs who std adhere to tho idea of ?iqu?u??i?'Y thc bonus am "yniily Ul gold, Tho inflation of the currency ?TJ the reissue 5? 'he resUiciud legal tendera appears to sumo of tho Senators ft project mat BOPd excite no apprehension, tho argument bomg that tuen ia much distress and inconvenience resulting Iron tho preaont syatoui of contraction. Members in? terested in the linunco question aro hard at wort prepariug elaborate speeches in exposition ol their particular views of tho auVevbccrbins topic, Ben. Wade, U6 he walka thoughtfully and niwiu, from bia hotel to tho Capitol, occupiea his mind with the monetary problem to tho exclusion ol almost every other. He belie voe Ibo legitimate payment ol tho five-twenties should be STewpaclts. and to an impressive explanation of this position he is now developing his meditations. THE PROPOSED DIVISION OF TEXAS. Thad. Stevens' Texas Bill will bo in keeping with his notions of thc power* of Congress, Jle lirat proposes that the present State of Texas shall bc divided into three or four States. He ia at pre? sent deeply interested in studying up the geogra? phy of that remote region, in view of announcing what shall bo the boundaries of th< se pew States. For their government ho designs that Congress shall preparo their constitutions, which will be in accordance with the Radical views of a Republican lorm. He is extremely anxious that the matter be taken up at once, as he is desirous that the constitutions be submitted to tho people within thc Umita of each of tho new Statea. and that they may determine whether they will accept them or not. Mr. Stevens manifests some solicitude in hurrying up this measure, and if thc popular voice be favorable tn the new rigivi" proposed, bc is in favor of immediate admission. His anxiety acema to be based upon an accession ol strength to thu the Radical cause- lo bu Ilma gained. He arpues thai during tho wara largeiucreaseol the negro population ol the present .Statu of Texas baa taken place. If thia bo the fact tho creating of three or four new States through the instru? mentality of the negro voto will materially atrengtheu the power of the Radicals, aa it ia na? turally expected that thc representation in Con? gress from these summarily created States will bc up to the extreme point of Radicalism. .\ r. Ste? vens has not yet written thc bill to affect these ends, but proposes to take hold of it as soon as the impeachment pressure has somewhat abated. Mi*. Stevens sa\s he will not attempt to ?mike an\ speeches; but it is quite evident ho winnot hi wanting in supplying abundant material to feed the volubility of the House, lb- alsottalks ol' ma? iring a raid on the Senate before long. He consi? ders their expenses out of all proportion, and hints that home action should be taken in thc matter. THE PRESIDENT AND TUE CONSERVATIVES. The correspondent of tho Neu York Sunday News says : The President to-day declared to prominent D?? mocratie leaders that as soon as his message i aent t<. Congress, he will be m a .situation to mee! the wishes of Conservatives, and will then act promptly. No one here, however, believes Mr. Johnson w ill act unless forced to tho wall bv im? peachment, when he may (urn upon los assailants. Many Democrats express tho wish that hu may be impeached, hoping thal it may arouse him to" ac? tion. TUE PASE OF SCURATT. I learn, on authority believed to bc wholly trust? worthy, that the Attorney-General has expressed the opinion that Stirrat! cannot be legally tried a second time for complicity in tho assassination of Lincoln, as the Constitution expressiv declares that DO ?nan shall bo twice put io jeopardy for the same offence. A new indictment may iiossiblybo drawn up against the prison:'! , out ?t'is inore like? ly that lie will be released by Congressional di? rection. THE POSTAI. TELEGRAPH PROJECT, It ia announced here that tho Western Union Telegraph Company will propose to sell the Gov? ernment a part of iheir hues and wires for foetal purposes, but members of Congress doubt tile authority of Congress to make suba purchase and if anything be done looking to the adoption ot a telegraphic postal Bystem, it is believed its ex? tent will be only the declaration of routes to be let out by coutracts, alter the manner of post roads TOE PRESIDENT'^ RESOLVE. An1 Hier correspondent .-ays The report that tho House Judiciary Committee would report iu favor of impeaching the h-esiilent has created intense excitement in official and poli i tical circles here. A friend communicated tho fact to President Johnson last evening, who re? marked in reply: "Coneress has a cons.titu;ionaI ri"ht to impeach, but 1 am prepared to do my dutv." The simple impoa hment ia not regarded of much consequence, b it if that is oarrted there mav be an attempt to suspend the President dor? mir trial. Should snch a suspension be attempted it will no doubt be resisted by force, and tho cou s?quence cannot be fore'-old, te?-? Summary of European Newe. Our European dates by mail are to the 12th inst. We subjoin a summary of the leading items of news: -A Tan's journal claims that the Chassepot rifle did wonders in the late battas new Borne. -Count Bismarck is suffering from an old ner? vous complaint. -The Borne population gave a triumphant wei como to tho the French t roop*. -The Bank of BusBia bought gold to the value of 30,000,000 roubles, and the import of gold con? tinued. -The French government avowed, somewhat tardily, that a portion of its troops did co-operate actively with the Pontificals in the last battle with tho Garibaldians. -Tho new British Ambassador at Paris, Lord Lyons, presented his credentials to his Majesty tlie Emperor Napoleon, cm Saturday, in the Falace of ti?o Tui|lerioij. -lhe result of the Berlin elections is favorable to tho Liborals, but a largo proportion of tho lat? ter belonging to the "National" and other mode? rate fractions, the Government may count upon a discreet, and, upon the whele, friendly attitude of thc House. -Tho unveiling of the statue of Vondol at Am? sterdam vvao recently celebrated hy tho town mag? nates and tho whole populace. Thore were pro? cessions, orations, speeches, illuminations, and a gala festival at the theatre in the ovening. -At the meeting of shareholders of tho Boyal Bank of Liverpool very little discussion took place. The proposed call was increased from ?5 to ?10 per share, and Messrs. Banner, James Wil? sen and P. H. Holt were appointed liquidators. All creditors under ?200 are to be paid off. -Another bread riot took place at Bamstabb, on tho night of tho 8ih. A mob of 2000 men de? molished a number of bakers' and butchers' shops, and attacked a flour mill. BaniBtablo was in tho grcatost confusion, and a large number of special constables wore sworn in. -In tho confidential es chango of opinion going on betweed Denmark and Prussia, tho latter has declared that if any portion of Northern Schleswig ?H to be restored to its former owner, tho rights of its Gorman inhabitants must be not only guaran? teed by troatyi but embodied in ? Qani-h law. -The Parts correspondent of the London Her? ald, alluding to the bartle of Monte Botondo, says: Tho Garibaldian volunteers appear to havo made not a bad fight of it, all things considered, but it is quite evident their morale was upset, and that they were what tbe Yankees expressively term "badly whipped." -The official liquidatom of Overend, Gurney &, Co., have arranged in London for tho payment forthwith of a further dividend of ls. in tho pound, which wdl raise the tottl thus far to 13a. It ap? pears that, instead of waiting until they could re? alize a larger sum, they have thought it better, in tho absence of omploymeu'. for monoy, to distrib? ute, as soon as possible, the receipts in hand. Each ls. distributed cancels ?200,000 of debt, and checks upon that amount tho accumulation of in? terest. In Candia Omar Pasha has sent in his resigna? tion. He complains that after having hommed in the insurgents, all the sacrifice in men and money was rendered useless by the ill-timed armistice, which allowed tho volunteers to organizo them? selves and tu relievo themselves of all useless mouths. The Turks will have to renew tho strug? gle under all the disadvantages of a winter cam? paign, and Omar Pasha says it is impossible to maintain an efficient blockade in those seas during the winter months, tho Turkish fleet being np. matc-h in daring for the Greek blockade runners, in spite of the new und smaller craft purohased. -The Moniteur of November ll gives telegraph? ic despatches from General deFailly to the Minis? ter of War, dated Borne, the 9th inst. The Geno ral says that the headquarters of the Gaaribaldians were at Monte Botondo. Garibrldi had organized his bands, and directed hi person their concentra? tion. It was, therefore, the moment to act, and to strike a vigorous blow. The General sent out uirainst Monte Botondo a column of Pontificals 801)0 'strong itnd' * Frecnh polumn'of 2000,'or'five battalions. Tho former demanded that tho prin? cipal attack should be left to them, and the French cilumn, by way of reserve, supported it by a turn? ing movement on the two flanks. -Guy Fawkes day, winch, during the last few vears has boon but very indifferently observed in London, had some of its "glories" revived on the 5th instant. Tho Pope waa brought onco moro into requisition, and in rrany warta of Londqn hia UohtiLSs wa M buen rop.ckuatod in every variety of fonn and costume. At the East End of London an immense representation of the Pope was car? ried on larco poles, Garibaldi, with uplifted sword, being about to strike him down. Indeed, this aeomed to bo tho favorite idea in many quar? ters of London, and tho religions part of tho question connected with the alleged attempt to liurT. dorn tho Houses cf Parliament was scarcely regarded with any aigniflcance at all. In many districts the ritualists of tho Church of England shared with tho Pope fae honor of being repre? sented us "guys." The Election in Florida. A CUniOOS RESULT- SLA SK VOTING-TflE WHITE REPUBLICANS AS WELL AS TUE CONSERVATIVES ABSTAIN FROM VOTTNQ. An evidently well posted correspondent of thc Savannah Bepublican (a moderate Benubl;pan p? pr.r) writes from Jaukeonnlle, Florida, under dato of the 23d inst : I bavo not yet received tho complete returns of (be election in Florida, bat according to our ad? vices ian night, tho result of tho voting in several of tho countioa not included in our report yester? day, and which have siuco been heard from, is very disproportionate to the registration. Tho additional returns, however, which are nearlv all sent in, confirm our statement of about four hun? dred Majority for a Convention. In Hamilton Count v. Middle Florida, there were nearly eight hundred registered, and but little 07er two hun? dred votes were cast. Out of four hundred and two whites registered in that county but ooo vote was polled, both tho white members of the Board of Registration rofuaing to vote, and more than two huudred original Union mon-Southom hj-_ alwta and avowed Republicans-declining to par? ticipate in the election. In St. John's count} but (ir.e hundred and thirty-seven out of four hundred and thirty registered votes were polled, and of three hundred and eleveu whitty only thirty voted. In Volusia couuty, out of ono hundred and fifty reg? istered voters" but twenty-one votes were polled duriqt< three days' election. Many of the registers themselves either neglected or refused to vote. If we aro correctly informed, and we believe we aro, thero was not moro than nine hundrod white votos cast in tho State, out of over oleven thou? sand whitea registered. J ho result of tho election in Florida ia marked and significant in the extreme. It is a clear indi? cation of tho actual drift Df tho public mind, even in that State which has boen relatively undisturd ed by social outrages and exitements, and whero the lino of detnurcation between the races ha.-i been less visible and not so rigidly insisted upon. The white Bepublicans in that State number about two thousand, including the native Union element, loral refugees, or Northern emigrants, and not oiie-half of them have votsd at this election. Thst thero is a strong loyal, conservative cle? ment, a large Union Bopublicaii party of tho more moderate sort, iu Florida, thc result of ihe elec? tion clearly and forcibly exhibits. The extreme Badical wing is composed of four white mon, and il is said about one-half ol' the blacks. Tho Bil? lings Badical elocted but thirteen clelogatcs to the Convention, the Btrairrlit Kepublicaiis thirty-one, and Conservatives t,vo. A t ard to Sensible People.

Harbor Master's :itttce, Charleston, February -j, i.-u:. February 7 OBITUARY. WILLIAM E. rERRYCLEAR was a citizen of Port Royal Island, S. C., all his lifetime; he died in Oranoe burg District, October 28th, 1867; aged 74 years, 7 months and 24 day H. In the hfe of the deceased there was sq much love and devotion to his family, so much that ?as noble and honorable in his charrwter as a citizen, so much consid? eration and regard for the happiness of his noighbors servants and all who came in contact with him that worn? can sea-eely do justice to hi? estimable name Ile led the infant feet of his chillren to tho House of God. He never permitted them to stay away from tri? fling canses, and set tho good example of always coin? himself when his health permitted. As a citizen, he waa never found wanting, but always merited the "well done" by those who contided in him. Da 1812, when our Uberties were threatened by a foreign power, he took up arms in defence of his country, and stood by her flsg until peace was restored. He continued j jo pursue his avocation as a planter on Port Royal Island I from that time until 1861, when that very coun.ry for f which he fought deprived him ol ali his property, and . compelled him, with his (anally, to seek refuge among grangers in a strange land to the day of his death. He telt that there was nothing in himself to recom? mend him to the favor of God, but looked to the atoning merits of his Saviour as his only hope of salvation. And his children do not mourn as those who have no hope, but believe he has entered upon that rest, whero no bat? tle sound, no pri7a,tian?,'nor rude alarms, shall break the long repose: ' j CLOTHING.
