SENATE Mr. Wilson introduced a bill relieving several citizens of Georgia from po? litical disabilities. The proceedings were mostly confined to private bills. The consid? eration of tho Naval Appropriation bill was re? sumed, after which the Senate adjourned. Tho Judiciary Committeo of the Senate have considered the Alabama bill. Considerable difference of opinion exists, and they adjourned without action. The Ku-Klux-Klan. MONTGOMERY, Apiil 6.-General Shepherd, commanding the Sub-District of Alabama, to? day issued an order in relation to the Ku-Klux Klan, ordering that the various sheriffs, may? ors, marshals, magistrates, constables, chiefs of police and police shall be held accountable by the post commanders of the respective dis? tricts for the suppression of the iniquitous or? ganization and the apprehension of its mem? bers whetever found. When apprehension is made and the code of Alabama is silent on the subject of the offences for which they have been charged, the prisoners will be turned over to the commander of the proper military post and a written statement of the officer be made giving dates, places and witnesses with a view to trial by military commission. All placards and newspaper cards of the Ku-Klux Klan are prohibited, and ignorance of their existence will not be held as an adequate ex? cuse, it being the business of the civil and military authorities to know what appertains to their duties. Citizens net holding ofiice will likewise not be held guiltless, and further out? rages will be received as evidences of neglect of duty. AUGUSTA, April 6.-General Meade has issued a general order, directing the civil and military, officers to arrest and bring to trial all persons who may hereafter print, publish, or in any manner give circulation to incendiary publica? tions of an organization now spreading through this State. Conductors of newspa? pers are forbidden to publish such inflamma? tory articles, and any paper publishing such, in a manner tending to produce intimidation, riot or bloodshed, will be stopped, and the proprietors, editors and other parties connect? ed therewith will be tried before a military commission, and, on conviction, be subject to fine and imprisonment. Military and civil officers are required to organize patrols and other means for the detection of persons who avail themselveu of darkness to execute crimi? nal purposes. General Meade admonishes the people that unless the acts of violence and in? timidation are cheeked and punished, bloody retaliation may be provoked and much inno? cent blood be shed. General Meacie doubtless refers to the Ku-Klux-Klan. Politics In Virginia. RICHMOND, April 6.-The convention has fin? ished all reports before it, and will adjourn this week. Tber? is much interest in Repub? lican circles in relation to the appointment of a new Governor. Two committees have gone to Washington to protest against it. Governor Pierpont ia also there.

WILL THE BBESEDENT BE BEHOVED ?-EEAS0 FOB DOUBTING IT-GEN. W. T. SnEE3L\N TO THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE-CHASE IN MIC TO BIN. WADE-SUFFRAGE TO 2E TASEN AW FEOil THE NEGEO-THE BADICALS ALMOST DU VaTH HTM, ?C. WASHINGTON, April 3, 16C8.-From prese appeai-auces it is safe to question whether t Presitlenc will bc removed from the execitti chair lifter all, notwithstanding the efforts Butler, Logan, Stevens & Co., and thc aide aspirations of Ben. Wade. Every day developes the fact that the RR< cals have won an elephant ina raffle and not know how to dispose of him. Wall-stre is opposed to any present change; the Repu heans are divided in opinion as to the succe 60rsh:p, and political rings in favor of Grai Chase, and W. T. Sherman are using all th? inf uence to prevent the consummation of Ra ical designs. Chief Justice Chase is known to be inimic to "Bin Wade, and is now a candidate for Pres dential honors, which, should Johns'- u be ri moved, he is not so apt to enjoy. Gr ai '. i y j the same boat, and the friends of Sherman i the Middle States and great Northwest cont dently believe that if Johnson is let alone, h (Sherman) will have a clear field, even againi Gram:. You need not be surprised, howeve: at an attempt made by the friends of the latte to legislate him into the White House, wit the new of giving him the inside track i November next. Under the influenc?e cf this competition, : is believed that the "High Court of topead ment" will, on their final vote, however the may decide at present, declare the charge against President Johnson not sustained b the evidence. Heavy bets have been mad that such will be the result by well know politicians who are understood to be amoni the powers behin '1 the throne. Another important piece of information whic] I have from the best authority, is that the Rzd ical party will not allow the South to be rulei by negroes. Already the proposition is bein; discussed with reference to the time when 6ul frage shall be qualified ; but the general opiu ion exptessed is that the matter should not b touched until after the Presidential election Universal suffrage was given to the colorei man only to secure the election of a bepublicaj President and prevent the South from giving i Democratic vote ; and when this result is at tained the, universal privilege will be limita by property and educational tests. You may depend upon it that some move ment of this kind will be made. Tne Nor:) keenly feels the loss of Southern tra;le and th destruction of Southern prosperity, and tili fear is everywhere expressed among Republi cans that if the South is abandoned to negri rule the most disastrous consequences will re suit to the commercial, manufacturing anc shipping interests of the country. The color ed man will be used to bring the Souther! States back into the Union, and, if possible elect the next President. After tha,:, his worl will be done. The Radicals have no furthci nse for him. XXX. The Presidency. LETTES CF THADDEUS STEVENS IN FAVOB OJ GRANT AND WADE. The following letter from old Thad. Stevens to one of the Pennsylvania delegates to the Chicago Convention sufficiently explains itself: "WASHINGTON. March 2G, 18C8. M j Dear Sir-I received your letter of thc 24th inct. this morning, and* am elad you in? tend to be at Chicago personally. If your con? stituents and mine have indicated a prefer? ence for Vice President, as I rather think they have from their vote, I should deem it you; duty, as a matter of personal fidelity, to begin by voting for that person, whether he be a friend of mine or not. No man seems tome justified in violating the wishes of his constitu? ents to please any other person. But if the person thus indicated as their first choice should fail of a ptobability of election ,or gradu? ally decline, then, if I were there, or my wishes were to be consulted, I should use all my efforts in favor of B. F. Wade. He is a true man, in whom you and L and every Radical man, can c onfide; and you will find that the country, as well as our particular friends', will profit bv his success. I wish you would show this letter to your colleagues. I shall be kept from the con? vention, but desire to see an honest man placed in that position of great contingent re? sponsibility. As to the canditate for the Presidency, 1 presume you all agree that none other than G?n?ral Grant is to oe thought of. Honest, firm and well indoctrinated in princi? ple, without ostentation and without pride, I do not 6ee how a better selection can be made. His judgment of men is so sound that I have full faith that he will call around him the ablest and purest men of the nation. With Grant and Wade to guide and defend us. tL:s nation in four years will have acquir?d ? prosperity which will be the wonder of tho world. Uni? versal freedom, maintained by universal suf? frage on this continent, cannot fail to have that e ;ect. Verv respectfullv, THADDEUS STEVENS. To R. J. HOUETON, Lancaster, Pa. THE PRESIDENT'S TRIAL. PROSPECTS OF AN ACQUITTAL. THE PROCEEDINGS OX FRIDAY. EVIDENCE OF NEWSPAPER REPORTERS. PUBLIC TNTESEST IS THE TT.IAL FLAOOISO. Otar advices from Washington say that now that the impeachment managers have con? cluded their testimony and the whole case of the prosecution before the Senate, wonder is expressed by liberal Republicans that such a, flimsy case has teen made out, and they are disgusted with tho proceedings. Even the ex? tremo Radicals arc disappointed, and many of them admit that the Senate must acquit John? son, beyond peradventure. The impeachers are alarmed lest certain Radical Senators whom they have heretofore doubted shall in? sist upon disposing of the case conscientious? ly upon law and facts, and refuse io convict in response to the behests of Radical party lead? ers. THE PRESIDENT'S DEFENCE. The defence, when developed, will be over? whelming, and will make the case for the Pre? sident so strong that the impeachers and their articles will be completely floored. It will be recollected that General Emory testified in the impeachment trial that he ob? tained the opinion of Hon. R. J. Walker to the effect that he ehould not obey the orders of the President unless the same came through Grant; and, further, that Reverdy Johnson had given a like opinion. It now appears that Emory is utterly at fault in this statement, and it will be shown by the President's counsel that Walker has written a letter to a friend setting forth the adrice he gave Emory, which ?vas in substance that a military officer must obey the orders of the President, no matter whether they come through Grant or not. It will also be .shown that Reverdy Johnson gave a similar opinion to General Sherman when the latter called upon him fer advice on the subject. SOME CF THE MANAGERS TO EE PET UPON THE WITNESS STAND. Some cf the managers, Entier especia;;?, will be put on the witness stand to show that the original impeachers are hut carrying out the conspiracy they encaged in with Conover against Presider.: Jehrden; ? that Bailer, Eout weil, Holt, Ashley ? Co. shouldered their sins on poor Conover, ar.d kept him in the veniter. tiary, whilst they, parkt-ps criniinis, per? formed the second act in their con-r.-.racy to destroy the ^cod name oi the President and deprive him of a position which to gain will enable them to put in execution their designs. WHAT WILL BE SHOWS ES ANSWER TO THE CHARGE THAT THE PRESIDENT VIOLATED LAW CUSTOM TN THE REMOVAL OF STANTON DURING THE SES? SION CF THE SENATE. In answer to the charge in impeachment article that the President violated law custom in the removal of Stanton during the session of the Senate, it will, beside other proof, be shown that'Judge Holt (now an uncompromis? ing impeacher) was appointed Poetmaster GeDerBl by President Buchanan during the ses sion cf the Senate, and that his nomination was not sent to the Senate. Notwithstanding he coatinued to act as Postmaster-General. Buchanan, in respenee to inquiry of Senate on the subject, cited one hundred and fifty-nine cases of removals by former Presidents during the session of the Senate. Holt himself whilst Postma6ter-General, removed three postmasters during the session of the Senate viz. : in June, 1860, postmasters in New Or? leans and New York city, and in January, 1861, postmaster at Milwaukie. Neither Buchanan ror H oit was impeached. THE PROCEEDINGS ON FRIDAT. The Court opened on Friday morning with comparatively empty galleries, and with only seven members of Congress to enter the main door when the Sergeant-at-Arms announced, in stentorian tones, " the House of Representa? tives." The falling off in number in the galler? ies was partially made up in strength by lour stalwart Africans, whose presence was scon very evident throughout the portion of the gal? leries where they wero seated. The ladies were eensibly annoyed, and the gentlemen, Copper, hea?s of course, blessed the Radical who had distributed the tickets by which they obtatincd admittance. Itissaid that the pressure brought to bear upon Sumner brought out the tickets. The proceedings lacked much ol the interest which has at times characterized the trial. The day was devoted almost entirely to the exam? ination of reporters upon the subject of the speeches of Hr. JohnsoD, which are made the basis of some of the articles of impeachment. The court bein^ opened. Butler proceeded with the testimony on'the part of the prosecu? tion, and submitted the President's mes? sage on tue fourteenth amendment of the con? stitution. To this Staabery objected as wholly irrelevant to auv issue to be tried, bat as it was good reading he would allow it to bc read. Next came Colonel linker, manager of the Western Union Telegraph, who produced a roil of manuscript which. Le s^id, was the written copy of the lYesident's speech of August. 18CC. Butler proceeded to prove this speech by seve? ral stenographers, who examined the" hand? writing-but who tailed to find their particular pace.-. Yet they testified to the fact of making the report and that it was correct. Just here Colonel Tinker reappeared and produced an? other roll of manuscript, stating that the first speech proven up was made in February and not in August, and that he now presented the A ugust speech. This singular blunder Hurried Butler and produced an outburst of laughter. Again, when Colonel W. 0. Moore, the Presi? dent's secretary, was introduced as a witness, Entier resumed his comic role, but evidently failed to produce the effect anticipated. The testimony tailed to establish the accuracy of either of "the speeches, except the one deliver? ed in August, lSuO, at the White House. Many of the senators appear to be getting tired ol' the tediousness of the whole proceed? ing, and would gladly be rid of the business. The members ol the House, t'jo, are showing an apathy which stands out in bold contrast to the interest manifested in the movement at the commeiicement ot the trial. Few members deem it worth while to visit the Senate chamber at all, while others come up, look in for ten or fifteen minutes, and immediately take their de? parture. THE MAN ON HOESEBA'K COMES.-The lead? ing editora! in the New York Tribune of Fri? day ie as follcws : We have assurances from Washington that General Grant finds it not inconsistent with his duty as a soldier to announce it as his opinion that the only hope for the peace ol the country i6 the success of the pending impeachment trial. He feels that national securitv demands the removal of the President. If the trial should fail, the people can only expect more assumptions ot power, and a more determined resistance to law. When the General of our annies entertains this convienen there is no room for doubt as to the duty of the Senate. The loyal nation demands the President's re? moval. When Grant gets in, Congress will be dwarf? ed to a registering office. His decrees will bc issued first, and made laws afterwards. -Temple Bar, one of the mest ancient laud marks oi London, is to be abolished, to make room for a modern improvement. E.VGLISH POLITICS. THE 2,-TW nnXISTEP.IAL CEI SIS-GLADFTONES GS SLAEGHT OX THC G0VEBX3IEN-T-DISEAELl'S PASSIONATE BEPLT-A WOMlEBFUL EFFOET SPECXLATIOX3 ON" TEE BESULT. The London correspondent cf the New lork Tribune, writing under date of March l?tb, gives the following interesting and well written account of the first' ecene in the recent strug? gle in Parliament over the question cf reforms for Leland, the culmination of which has since reached us by cable telegrams: The whole aspect of politics has changed with? in a week-I might say in a (ky, since it is the Irish debate on Monday night trhjch wrought the transformation. Last week everything waa doubt and uncertainty. The Liberals scarcely knew their own mind* on Ireland, nor whether they had a leader. The Toric3 had a leader, but' no policy. In the armed truce between the two partie*, each hesitated to begin open hostilities. The step ha6 been taken, the armed truce bas broken into flagrant war, ana a pitched battle is to be fousrht-proba Hy fought and decided before this can reach von. The Iri6h debate, whicb ended apparently in nothing, by the withdrawal of the resolution of Mr. Maguire, our of which it eprung. has con? solidated t':e Liberal party, and confirmed Mr. Gadstones leadership. Not .-ince Lord Pal? merston's death have the Liberals been so united, eo clear of purpose, and so confident in their captain as to-day. They propose to move immediately upon thc enemy's works. That has come to pass which at the beginning of the session it was universally agreed would not come to pass. The Liberals have found them? selves Btronger and their patience weaker than they supposed, and the government policy proves incredibly timid. Disraeli is too much for Liberal patience to bear, and they will turn him out if they can, and then dea'l with the Irish question without waiting for the new Parliament. A resolution declaring the Irish policy ol the government unsatisfactory, and announcing the Liberal programme, including the abolition of the Irish Church, will be moved within ten days. If this is canied, the Government must dis? solve Parliament or must resign -at any rate, anybody but Mr. Disraeli world feel bound to. What course he will take is beyond conjecture, though a dissolution is still regarded on both sides as most improbable, and will be resisted by Mr. Disraeli's followers if he attempts it. Yet can it be supposed he will renounce any means cf maintaining Lis hold upon the office which has been the ambition of his hie, and to obtain which he has sacrificed everything that1 to most men is dearer than office? ' It is only a fortnight since Mr. Bouverie, in replying to tba opening speech of the Premier, described the Liberal party aa a rabble with? out a leader. When the Lish debate opened, they retained a patty organization, but on the three leading Lash questions there was no co? herence iu lite Liberal policy. There was, :n fact, no one of those question? on which you could Le sure that :.:e party would sucseeu in closing its ranks. At the most, they agreed in regarding tnt ministerial policy as* miserably insufficient lor the crisis. As tho debate trent cn, the atmosphere cleared up. It was found that the proposition for n Kornau Catholic Uni? versity, pure and simple, met with universal derision on both sides of the House. Ou the laud question, while there was a wide variety in the suggestions ci different speakers, there was a general unanimity in condemning the Government scheme as illusory and inade? quate. But on thc church ali went further, and both conservative Liberals and the Radicals, who agreed in nothing else, agreed in this, that the church mus; be got nd of. Mr. Lowe was as emphatic cs Mr. Mill, and Mr. Fortescue as ready to strike a blow as Mr. Bright. It was thia convergence of ideas on this point which ?ed to the project, spoken of in my last letter as being contemplated, though not resolved on, of forcing a division on Mr. Maguire's original resolution. That resolu? tion was found to be so ?entrai in its terms as to be unsuitable lor uniting the Liberal vote, and it was known when the debate began on Monday night that it would be withdrawn. But it was not generally known what line Mr. Gladstone had resolved to take. It is on church questions especially that the Liberal leader has advanced with the greatest circum? spection. There was truth in Mr. Disraeli's sarcasm, that his efforts for Irish Reform had consisted largely in making speeches for the perpetuation of the Irish Church. when, therefore, Mr. Gladstone rose at 10 o'clock on Monday night, the cheers with which he was greeted were a demonstration of en? couragement as well cs of the enthusiasm of his supporters. The house was crowded to ex? cess. No doubt Mr. Gladstone's iatimtte friends knew what he had recolvcd on, but the bulk of his supporters did not know whether he stood ready to head au immediate movement for the overthrow of the Irish Church. The exordium gave them hope, for almost thc open? ing sentence declared that a crisis in the his? tory ot Ireland had been reached, the gravity of which the government had failed to com ErehencL During tho first hour of his speech e went with great minuteness over the smaller Irish questions. Mr. Disraeli's Cath? olic University was demolished. Iben the land was discussed, but discussed wirh caution, and dropped without tuc- distinct enunciation of anything that could bc call? ed a policy based on a tangible measure of relief. Even tins caution and abstinence were m accordance with thc general result of the previous three nights' debate. Finally came the church, with regard to which, said Mr. Gladstone, he had witnessed with a satisfac? tion almost equalled Jjy his surprise, the ex? traordinary progress of opinion that hud taken place both within and without tbe House. Nowhere, he might have addeu, more extra? ordinary than in his owu case. A Jew sen? tences removed all doubt cf his final decision, and the enthusiasm of the House broke out every moment in cheers, which readied their climax when their long hesitating champion declared that thc Lisi: Church as a State Chnch must cease to enist. From that mo? ment dates the reorganization, or rather ?he re? generation, of the Liberal party. But Mr. Glad? stone having made up his miud, was far from proposing t'j stop with a mere announcement ot his opinion, or with a theoretical dissent from th? do-nothing policy of the Ministry. Kis recommendation to Mr. 3Iairuir= to w.th ?raw his resolution was followed Ly the forma! declaration that the statements of "the govern? ment were to the Liberal side wholly unsatis? factory, and that unless its head had something new to offer, tho Opposition would make a pro? posal, and ask the opinion of the House upon the Irish Chureii question. Ihore could not be a more distinct challenge, aul tiiero cou'd not be a heartier welcome th^n the Opposition benches gave to this clarion note from their leauer. The days of great parliamentary con? tests seemed to have come back. Mr. Di-raeli's reply was insolent beyond conception. The words of it you can read for yourself in the printed report. The manner of it is scarcely to be described. In no other man would the House have tolerated it, and it went far beyond the license in which even Disraeli ia usually indulged. There was no paragraph that was not edged with a sarcasm against Mr. Gladstone-few sentences thai did not overflow with contemptuous bitterness toward thu members of either purry who could be srspeced of convictions. In its way nothing could be more brilliant; but what a speech to be delivered in Parliament ! I have heard Disraeli often; I never heard him ap? proach hi3 performance of Monday. It was a surprise to men who have listened to him for thirty years. I asked a Liberal member of great eminence whether the House liked such exhibitions. ''Liked them !" he exclaimed : "if I had made such a speech I snould have been blown out of the House, and dese-rvediy too.:' There was no lack of readiness m Mr. Disraeli to meet the issue 80 unexpectedly presented to him. No lack ot courage either, and no lack of tnat un? scrupulous ingenuity which makes him the most foimidable tactician in England. With savage sarcasms falling every minute hom his hps, he presented nimself to tho House as the sole remaining champion o: the church. The attack upon the Lrisb Church be declared to be a cove rt attack upon the English Church. The principle of endowments was at stake; and with this cry he rallied the Tory Equires to his support, lt is certainly true that the demolition of ;he Church of Ire?Pud will weak? en the Chuich of England, but it is far from being true that tho Liberals have any sucb pur? pose or belief. But Mi". Disraeli is too shrewd to be drawn into a defence of the Irish Church. It cannot be defended, and h-s it-iows it. it may be upheld, and its existence prolonged a ment. Yet, even in that view, the in? vective of Hr. Disraeli's speech was pushed further than policy would have sug? gested, and ( ite rancor, its furious ani? mosity against Mr. Gladstone, were partly due to a cause which seldom stimulates into ex? travagance this cold-blooded antagonist. Be pose of manner was gone. The gloomy face was lighted bv an artificial excitement and de? corum was thrown to the winds. Even the cries from the Opposition benches, the satirical " Hear, hear," were caught up by the unbal? anced voice of the swaying orator and repeated with a sneer of affected or very like genuine contempt. And yet neither passion nor any artificial cause had clouded the splendor of this wonderful intellect, however much they may have upset its judgment. Aa a specimen of gladiatorial oratory, this speech has seldom been surpassed. I will not try to predict the result of the Lib? eral assault on the Government. It is enough to say that the Liberals themselves are confi? dent and in the highest spirits. They do not ex? pect defeat, but they can afford it. They believe this Ministry can be driven from oflBce within a month. "Whether that comes true or not, there is henceforth a brighter future for the Liberal party, and therefore for England. iuneral Hotirc.
