P.VBIS, Apiil 12.-The effect of tho new army
bill and other extraordinary war measures re?
cently taken by the government, has been to
create a great deal of uneasiness throughout
France, and particularly in the rural districts.
The murmurings of discontent had become so
loud and unmistakable that the semi-official
press of the nation found it necessary to dis?
pel the uneasiness. These newspapers pro?
nounce this apparently vast preparation.for
war the best pledge of peace.
The Moniteur to-day publishes an official
report made to the Emperor by Minister
Pinard, in which an account is given of the
military chances wbich have been made since
the bill for the reorganization of the army has
pone into operation, and of the effect which
they have had upon the country. The minis
? ter states that ail the reforms introduced in
the Garde Mobile, in accordance with the pro?
visions of that bill, are now completed; and he
asserts that these changes have been received
with popular applause almost everywhere
throughout the Empire. He contradicts the
reports of dissatisfaction, and declares that
the new army law is sustained and defended by
the patriotism of the French people, who thus
give a new proof of their confidence in the
Emperor.

favor of Hancock for President and Hendricks,
of Indiana, for vice-President. It is under?

Stanbery has the pleurisy; the weather is in?
clement, and Stanbery's physicians forbid any
exposure.
The House went in a body to the Impeach?
ment Court. The Speaker reserved the right,
should the session of the court be brief, to
make a regular call.
THE SENATE resumed the consideration of
unlimited speeches, but postponed the matter
indefinitely. A motion that the court must
hereafter meet at ll A. M., was defeated by a
vote of 21 to 26. In the absence of Stanbery,
the defence proceeded with documentary evi?
dence, without asking adjournment.
Stevens made & statement to the effect that
the Senate was determined not to hear the im?
peachers fully, and gave notice that he would
move for night sessions in the House, to allow
the managers and others to make their
speeches.
The Senate ordered certain reports of ses
sions, and proceeded to the consideration of
the impeachment and deficiency appropria?
tions. Pending this discussion, a forty thou
sand dollar deficiency was announced in For?
ney's account. Cameron intimated that For?
ney's clerk was wrongly charged.
The President's counsel had it pretty much
their own way this afternoon. The impeachers
show palpable signs of discouragement.
The trial was continued. Chase ruled out
the President's Message of the 21th February.
The managers objected to it on general
utrrounds, but Chase rejected it on the ground
that the Senate resolutions did not require it;
therefore it was not part of the regular pro?
ceedings. The President's messago nominating
Ewing was admitted. Au immense mass of
documentary evidence was admitted under
continued objections from Butler. The docu?
mentary evidence was then concluded, and the
court adjourned.

THE IRISH CHl'KCH QUESTION.
THE GEEA? DEEATT ES THE H0E3E OF C03THOXS.
Io the House of Commons, on the evening of
Monday, M ireh 30, the great debate on the
Irish Church commenced, attraoting an audi?
ence -which in its numbers, and the eager in?
terest with which it followed every incident
and argument, was not surpassed by any of the
most memorable nights of the two reform ses?
sions. The House was densely crowded, both on
the floor and in the galleries, while tho peers
and distinguished strangers not only filled the
boxes assigned to them, but overflowed into
the corridors and passages. The debute was
opened by the clerk at the table reading (on
Mr. Gladstone's motion) the acts, or rather,
the titles of the acts, relating to the Establish?
ed Church in Ireland. Colonel S. Knox then
moved that the fifth article of the act of union
be read, and, after this had been done, Mr. H.
E. Surtees called on the clerk to read the coro?
nation oath. . The oath was read at length,
both sidc-3 cheering alternately the passages
which seemed to favor their especial views.
Mr. Gladstone then rose, loudly cheered by
the Opposition, to move that the House now
resolve itself into committee to consider these
acts. He began by a happy reference to the
motions just made, accepting them as a sign
that Ecme members at least would meet his
motion by a proposition equally broad and in?
telligible as his own, and that the solemn con?
troversy on which the House was entering
would he conducted without "trick or contri?
vance." This phrase elicited loud cheers and
counter cheers from both sides, but Mr-. Glad?
stone made haste to except Lord Stanley's
amendment from this category, by admitting
that it was au amendment entirely within his
discretion, and fairly raising tho merits of the
case. His general object, Mr. Gladstone went
on to explain, was to commit tho House to the
opinion that the Irish Cburcli as an establish?
ment should cease to exist, and though he did
not hold it to be his duty to undertake re?
sponsibility for the detail of any plan, he did
not object to indicate the general bases of a
settlement. The cessation of the Irish Church
as au establishment mast be accompanied by
the condition that every proprietary right and
everv vested interest should receive the
amplest consideration and satisfaction; and
more than that, everything which could be
considered a matter of feeling must be treat?
ed with conciliation, and every doubtful
claim even must bo handled in a spirit of
equity. The chief thing to be renounced
was the maintenance in Ireland of a clergy
salaried by the State. Among the claimants
for compensation he enumerated not only .
the holders of benefices, but those who had
devoted themselves to the clerical profession iu
expectation of succeeding to these benefices: i
the private holders of advowsons (who owned i
about one-sixth of the church patronage of ;
Ireland) ; and be added ihat recent endowments ?
must also be respected. The result of all these
exceptions, Mr. Gladstone calculated, would be i
that what ho described as the "Anglican com- i
munitv" would remain in possession of from i
three-fifths to two-thirds of tho present money 1
value of the church endowments, and the resi- i
due, he insisted, must be treated as an Irish j
fund, to be used solely for the benefit of the i
Irish people. The other religious bodies who ]
are subsidized by the State must be treated on <
exactly the same principles, so as to put an <
end to all grants from the Consolidated Fund .
for the support of any religious denomination i
in Ireland. Mr. Gladstone next defended the
Liberal parry and himself from the charge of <
not having dealt with this question before; and, <
in answer to the sarcasm of "sudden aposta- 4
cy" aimed at himself, he mentioned that tweu- 1
ty-five years ago, in a letter relating to an eloc- j
tioneering contest, he bad declined to pledge <
himself to maintain tbi .rish Church on prin- c
ciple, and he attributed his defeat at Oxford to ]
the views he had expressed m 1865. Dealing 1
with the arguments against the abolition of 1
the Irish Church, he dilated at great length on 1
the objection that it would endanger the Es tab- :
lished Church iu England, and insisted that t
she would, on the contrary, be greatly strength- 1
ened by being relieved of this political and ?
social injustice. He showed, too, in an elah- c
orate historical and statistical argument, r
that though the penal laws had been success- 1
ful in keeping down the number of Roman 1
Catholics, when we had begun to relax them t
the proportion between the two bodies had c
rapidly altered in favor of the Roman Catholics, J
and the experiment ot a Stato church, there- c
fore, had entirely foiled to propagate Frotes- t
tautism. Passing to his second and third res- f
olutions, Mr. Gladstone said that their object ?
was to arrest the creation of new vested rights, t
so that the new constituencies might be more t
free in finally deciding on the question, and he i
acknowledged that legislation would be ncces- c
Bary to carry out tho resolutions. On this e
point Mr. Gladstone repudiated, in tho strong- &
est language, the intention of merely projecting t
into air an "abstract resolution"-a mode of e
procedure which, he said, had always been mis- t
chievous, aud for which he never had and never (
willingly would bo responsible. Criticizing ^
Lord Stanley's amendment, he argued that it t
would convoy no consolation to the irish popu- (
ration, that it indicated a desire to agitate the t
question (which he himseir had carefully cs- I
chewed, having patiently waited until the hour c
had come), aud that it showed very little re- i
spect for the new Parliament, inasmuch as it c
declined to remove out of its way considera- i
tions which must embarrass it in dealing prac- ?
tically with the question. Dealing next with j
?T3 argument that this concession would not 5
pacify thc Roman Catholics, Mr. Gladstone en- t
tered into an historical retrospect to show that a
all our concessions lo Ireland had been the a
effect of apprehension; and after exanrimng >
the character, tho circumstances and thc causes j
of the present crisis, he concluded hi an elo- 1
quent peroration by exhorting tho House to c
assist in building up, "by the cement of human \
concord, the noble fabric of the British Em- 1
pire." ]
Lord Stanloy moved as an amendment, "That s
this house, while admitting that considerable e
modifications in tho temporalities of tho Unit- t
ed Church in Ireland may, after the pending g
inquiry, appear to be expedient, is of opiuiou T
that any proposition tending to tho disestab- a
lishmeut or diseudowment of that church i
ought to be reserved for the decision of a new v
Parliament. He commenced by echoing Mr. c
Gladstone's condemnation of a resort to trick- t
ery, more particularly as he foresaw that great s
eflort8 would be made to put tho question on a t
false issue. Mr. Gladstone's resolutions- c
though his speech said much-said nothing t
about disendowment, and he objected to them, 1
first of all, becauso thev were too general, r
shadowed out no practical plan, and might be f
construed in any sense. Tho^e who meant by t
disestablishment the release of the church a
from State control might accept thc r?solu- v
tions with the reservation that thoy u
should retain the endowment. The reso- v
lutions avoided aU the real difiicullies 1
of the case, and gave no inlding of the t
manner in which the process of disestablish- f
ment was to be effected. But thc real question, j
Lord Stanley said, was not wheiher any- t
thing should be done, but what was the partie- a
ular thing to be done. "Sot one educated man 1
out of a hundred ("and I,'' Lord Stanley said, t
"am not thc one") would maintain that the ec- f
clesiastical establishment of Ireland was all i
that it should be, or that there were no sean- c
dals in it: but those who called for a disturb- s
ance of the existing stile of things were under j
au obligation to indicate some practical solu- c
lion. Lord Stanley discussed next the immer- t
ous plans suggested for the disposal of the r
property of the Irish Church, remarking that t
at present public opinion could uot see its wav T
to the practicability ot any one of them; and bb 1
maintained that Mr. (Uadstone's resolutions 1
merely came to this-that something must be
done without Baying what it was. Even if t
the resolutions were carried, what was to be 1
done then'/ There could be no legislation this 1
year except that rc-qirired to carrv out the two t
last resolutions, which was uo^logislatioc at i
all. They nught pledge this Parliament, which 1
must come to un end almost ?iumcdiatcl-. Lut t
they could not pledge the new couslit'ucn- i
cies, who must, as a matter of course, take :iy 1
this question first of alL Rcitcraftug his o?
jeen: us to the impractical character o: tho ; r
resolutions -m?. thc impassibility of taking < s
action on them now, or ul pledging ibo lV.rlia- ! 1
ment or the future, Lord Stanley deprecated . t
this particular mode of raising the question- : 1
so sudden as the present, which would n
wait for the necessary business of the sessic
to be completed, but "called for a resolution
which no practical effect could avowedly 1
given, and about the details of which its su
poners would inevitably disagree themoniei
they began to carry them out. As to this beir
a message of peace to Ireland, would it be ;
received in the North ? On the contrary,
would produce bitterness and animosity, ai
he denied that it would conciliate the Roms
Catholic peasantry, who regarded as of greata
importance the land and tbe education que
dons. Lord Stanley concluded by dercndic
his amendment, the meaning of which was thi
the work of the session was sufficient for tl
session. Whenever action was necessary, tl
government would not be unprepared for i
but now action was impossible, and the go'
eminent objected to pledging in any way tl
judgment of the next Parliament.
On Tuesday evening the debate was ri
newed. We present below an abstract of th
speeches:
Hr. Secretary Hardy, who began by romcrl
ing that the question had been treated by th
speakers in support of Hr. Gladstone's resole
lions not merely as one that affected th
church in Ireland, but the ministry. It waf
therefore, au attack at once upon the churc
and upon the government. But this was no
all; for ministers had to meet attack both o:
their front and on their flank.
He did not mean to say that the Reform ac
of last year was all he could wish; but when
was the man who, sitting in a public assembly
had not been obliged in some respects to com
promise his opinions, and to Rive way to thost
with whom he was associated in order tba
they might act in unity together ? That wai
all lie himself had done. He had sacrificed nt
principle, and tbe whole question of refont
had been brought before the house as one o
degree and not of principle. They were callee
upon, be said, at a special and peculiar mo?
ment, to go into committee on a matter of tnt
greatest importance, and whicb could be set?
tled neither in the present nor tho next Parlia?
ment, nor probably for many years to come,
aud ihis bad been, met by an amend?
ment of his noble* friend (Lord Stanley),
which laid down tbat, pending inquiry, any
proposition that tended to disestablishment or
disendowraent ought to be reserved for the
decision of a new Parliament. Tho question
was one cf time, of occasion, and of opportuni?
ty, and it would have been an absurdity on
the part of the coveminent to have assented
to the appointment of a royal commision, had
tLey not been prepared to endeavor to amelio?
rate the state of things reported upon by the
commissioners. The ground which he "took
then was this-that at an advanced period of
the session, with little progress made in
supply, with the settlement on the Reform
question for Scotland aud Ireland still remain?
ing open, and with the necessity of calling for
a dissolution of the present Parliament as
early as possible, ministers had a right to say
that that was not the time for coming forward
with an abstract resolution-for the first was
distinctly and solely an abstract resolution-re?
specting which they could not pledge the new
Parliament, and which Mr. Gladstone himself
idmitted could not be carried into effect by
legislation in the present Parliament. In
short, the question had been suddenly started
upon the country, and taken people by
surprise; and if it had not been afforded
by the recent debate on the state of Ireland,
Tere these resolutions not produced, so that
ihe House might have had. time to consider
them and approach their discussion at an car?
ier period, lt was admitted that the scheme
of Mr. Gladstone could not be carried into
street for thirty years; yet it was now made a
inestiou of ho?r?, though it avoided the diffi
sulties of the subject, and brought before tbs
House only those parts of it ou which they
jould get a united opinion, whereas if it went
on to a full development of the plan of tbe
right honorable gentleman they would have
split asunder into a score of fragments. Had
tue government met the resolutions with a
lirect negative, which, so far as he was con
;erncd, he was quite prepared to do, it would
lave been said, "You object even to entering
upon an inquiry or going into committee, ana
ire no: reaoy lo admit that any reformation is
iece8sary in fhe church;" whereas, by the
imendment, ministers declared that if it were
shown by the report of the commission that
.eforniation was necessary, they would be pre?
pared to act ou that report. But the abolition
>f the Irish Church establishment would be a
iractical wrong, and it was not for ministers
o throw overboard those with whom they
lad united by tho ties of religion and
)lood, of treaty and compact, for the purpose
?f reconciling thoso who were hostile to them.
L'he preservation of vested rights was spoken
if, but this was a question that concerned not
limply the clergy but the laity, and how were
hey to be compensated for their vested int?r?
?ts ? One argument in favor of the resolu
ion8 was, that if carried they would tend to
rauquilize Ireland; but this was not thc ophi?
on entertained by influential agitators in that
!Ountry, for they proclaimed that nothing
ihort of tho repeal of tho union would give
?atisfaction. Then came tbe question rela
ivo to which Mr. Gladstone had offered no
ixplanation whatever-name'}*, was it meant
o secularize the rovenues of the Established
Church, and what were the purposes to
vhich they were to bo applied? Were there
0 bo parsonages for Presbyterians, Roman
Catholics, and other denominations as well
is Episcopalians ? Why, so tar from that
?oiug likely to produce co?tent, it was more
lalculated to give dissatisfaction, for accord
ng to a pamphlet written by a Roman Catii
ilic member of the House, it appeared that
f the parBonage.houses were left in the posr
?essiou of tho Protestant clergy it would
iroduce nothing but discontent and irritation.
Chat surely must bo a doubtful prospect for
he right honorable gentleman to contemplate
is the result of adopting his proposals. Alter
ill, then, the main question of principle was
vhat was to bo done with the funds if secular
zed; aud iu the absence of ?in answer to that
io bad a rinht to say that both on the question
>f time and of principle it was not enough to
?ote on one part of the subject without having
in idea as to what the other portion was tu be.
1 seemed ty him, indeed, that they had now
irrived at this point-that the nuscttlement of |
iverything was clear, aud that the settlement .
>f nothing was alco clear, li he saw that the ,
lacrifice of the Irish Church establishment
vould secure harmony between various classes
md creeds in Leland, and tbat justice and the ,
nterosts of the empire required it, he for one [
vould at loast go out of his way and let others '
larry measures which he felt would be for 1
he general benefit; but not feeling this, and J
lifting where he now did, advocating the
)rinciples whicb he had advocated when ;
m the other side of the house, he declared ?
hat the stab should not, be given by his
land, and that it should not bc by those, the |
uinisterial benches, thc change should be ef?
fected. The government had been challenged .
o state what thov were prepared lu do. His
inswer was that, rf in spite uf the objection J
vhich they took on tho ground of time, the j
imendmeiit was overthrown, then their coiuse j
vas clear, and thc resolutions themselves would 1
>o opposed. Next, if they were asktd what J
hey would do, not in the present but iu a lu- c
ure Parliament, he replied tbat they would '
rive no pkdi:c other than this, that they would
yet in accordance with thc former part of the
imendment of Lord Stauicy, and it it bbou d i
ippear by the report of the commissioners ,
hat reformation changes were required for *
he beue?L of thc Lish Establishment and for 1
ts security, they would make them. If, how
!Ver, they* were asked togo further, he would s
?av, at least for himself, that be would no:, be <

ms something in tho very air and Li Ute tukul I u
)f the whole kingdom which taught th?, in that | s
o staud upon their past (.?pinions was iuipcssi- . r.
ole in their new position. Therefore univ ; ?;o j r.
pretences on which the Church Establishment
could be maintained iu Ireland: one was re?
ligious, and tho other political. As a religions
institution, the Irish Church < had been
deplorable, and almost ridiculous aa an encino
for converting the Catholic population. It had
not only not oiade Catholics into Protestants,
but it 'had 'nade Roman Catholics in Ireland
more intensely Roman than the members of
that church wero found to bo in almost any
other couutry in Europe. Further, it had
made it absolutely impossible for anybody else
or any other church to convert them. It was
one of the great calamities of the world that
in many centuries there were millions of
Catholics who were liable to be directed in
much of their conduct, and ofttimes in their
political conduct, through their bishops aud
elerey from the centre of the City of Rome.
That'was a misfortune to the cause of freedom.
It was nore; it was a misfortune to every Cath?
olic Church in every country, for it "tended
rather to prevent it from being wholly na?
tional, and to prevent, also, such changes
end such reformations as were necessary
in the prioress of every church. To the
influence of Rome, however, tho Romau
Catholic population of Ireland were moro sub?
jected than almost any other people, and he
held that it wa? for theirinterest and for thc in?
terest of the empire, whatever might bc the
tie between the Irish people and the govern?
ment at Rome, that every obstacle should bo
taken away that would lessen in the smallest
degree the loyalty of tho people to the impe?
rial crown. Having failed as a religious insti?
tution, how stood the church as a political in?
stitution ? It had been established not only
to convert the Catholics, but to secure the
iinioo. We had been defending it by thc
sword, und if ever the story of the transactions
Df the British Parliament with Ireland, its dif?
ferent engagements, coercive aud restricti?
ve, came to be written, it would form a narra
:ive that must astonish the world and Greatly
L'scrc-dit us. There waa anarchy in Ireland,
md it had to be subdued by force; and after
renturies of rule we had ?rot no farther than
his-that we had not reconciled Ireland: that
ve had not done some thines which all tho
vorld said we ought to have done; and that wo
vere now discussing the question whether it
ns possible, by any change with regard to thc
Sstablisbed Church, to briug about a better
eeling between tho Irish people and the Im
jenal Government. He feared there had
>een very little statesmanship and very
nuch neglect ; aud that we ought to
ake shani 3 to ourselves, and try to
:et rid of some of our antiquated preju
Iices in this matter; to look at it as men of
euse who saw it from a distance, and whose
ision was not impaired by the passionate con
lition of things, which m this country liad so
iften prevailed. Let not the House supppose
hat he was one of those who wished to dis
odire ministers from their seats on the trcasu
y b;nch, iu order that he might take a place
ihich was now occupied by one of themselves,
ie would treat the subject as one far beyond
nd above party differences. Let them not,
hen, be alarmed at what was proposed. Let
hem take the Irish Church not with a rude,
ut a resolute grasp. And if they adopted tho
olicv now recommended they would pluck up
weed which polluted the air, and they would
save c free Protestant Church, which would
e hereafter au ornament and a grace to all
ho might be brought within thc range ot its
lfluence. Leeland was waiting aud longing
Dr a great act of conciliation, and Eugland
nd Scotland were eager to make atonement
jr past crimes and past errors. And it de
ended upou the House of Commons and the
ruperial Parliament whether that reconciha
on should take place, and whether that atone
lent should at length bo mr.de.

NEGROES AND WHITES ALLOWED A3 ONE OF
THE "EQ?AL EIGHTS" UNDER THE LAWS OF
THE OHED STATES.
We find the following article in tho Grecns
aro' (N. C.) Patriot, of Monday last:
The clerk of the county court Informs us
iat some time last fall application was made
v a colored man lor a license to marry a white
oman. The man was told that snch'procccd
tg would be contrary to tho law of tho Slate;
hereupon he went to the superintendent of
ie Freedmen's Bureau, who called upon the
erk, and was told that such license could not
i granted without a military order to that
feet The superintendent here then wrote to
ic State 'Superintendent at Raleigh, stating
ie ease, and that there were three such cases
2fore him, and asking that a "special order"
jght be granted ina specified case ( where
ie woman already had children by the man),
a "general order" could not bo given for all.
e wrote a second time before receiving an
iswer, which had beeu delayed on account of
aiting a return from headquarters at Charles
m. The ioliowmg was finally received as
en. Caubys respouse :
HEADQCABTEHS SECOND ?IELITARY DIST., 1
CHARLESTON, S. C., Nov. 10,1867. f
revet General >'. A. Miles, C. S. A., Assistant
Commissioner Bureau D. S., F. & A. L., Ra?
leigh. S. C.:
SIR : Referring to communication of Captain
ildcrbrandt, representing that cases arise
here freedmen marry whites, and the clerk
:fu;cs to issue licenses, forwarded by you on
ie ?3d ultimo, is received.
I am directed by tbe commanding general to
ate iu reply, that tho laws of the United
tates invest all classes of citizens with equal
ghts, and that whenever these rights are do?
ted, the same laws furnish ample rome.lv.
Le commanding general does not deem it
ecessary to order civil officers to obey thc
,ws of the United States in such cases.
You will please iuform Captain Hilderbrandt
f this deternnnation.
I am, sir, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
L. V. CAZIARC,
A. D. C., A. A. A. G.
The clerk, still reluctant to perform ?so dis
greeable a duty, requested a copy of General
kacy's letter ind a litt le time to cons alt his
gal friends. Captain Hilderbrandt politely
implied, and furnished him a copy of the cor
?spoedence.
At the request of the clerk, six gentlemen of
ie legal profession in Greensboro' met and con?
fered the case. It is unnecessary to state
hat was said about tho constitutionality or
^constitutionality ot the liws of the United
tates (Civil Rights Bill) leferrcd to by Gene
il Canby. They were unanimous in the
pinion that the Federal law is paramount un
1 it shall be repealed or pronounced uncon?
ditional by tua Supreme Court of the United
tates-consequently, that the clerk had no
prion but to be governed in hie official con
uct by this paramount law, and the inter?
relation given by the military commander.
Such is*a plain, dispassionate statement of
fis matrer. Three or four instances have
nee occurred of marriages between negroes
nd whites in this county. Of the character of
ich whites we have uothmg to say. The con
iquences to flow from this radio il change in
ir social laws wo leavo to tiio imagination of
in* readers. The subject is loathsome-we
ill let :t rest for the present.

THE DEFENCE OF TEX PBESIDENT.-A Was"!
ington telegram dated Sunday night, to the
Baltimore Sun, says:
The President's couaael have been in consul?
tation to-night to determine what shall be the
order of the further to jtimony to be introduced
in tho impeachment trial, in view of the rul?
ings of tho Senate yesterday upon the ques?
tions put to General Sherman. It is generally
the impression amor.g tho Radicals tnat th?
portions of evidenco ruled out are of such
vital consequence to the defence that these
rejections will materially weaken the case on
the part of tho President. Such is not tho
view entertained by his counsel, for already
they have made the Droof direct and unquali?
fied* by General Thomas that the President
gave no instructions or orders to use force in
attempting to get possession of the War De?
partment. The further testimony of General
Sherman would be but cumulative* and corrob?
orative on this point, and would go far to dis?
close the animus of the Executive in all he did
and proposed to do relative to the removal of
Mr. Stanton and tho formation of the new
division of thc Atlantic.
The theory of the defence is that the prose?
cution has failed to make a case of high
crimes and misdemeanors, or any other case
contemplated by the constitution, and that the
counsel could, with legal propriety, have
moved the dismissal of the prosecution instan?
ter when the managers rested their case, but
the facts and evidenco to sustain tho converse
of every allegation inado by the managers of
the House, wnether in the'ir articles of im
feachment or speeches, were deemed by tho
resident's counsel so ample that they consid?
ered it but just to I he defendant, and due to
the truth of history, that they should proceed
with the testimony, a ad get before the Senate
and the people all matters pertinent to the
issue. It is undersl ood that tho President's
counsel will not mahe further efforts to get
General Sherman's statement of occurrences
so far as they aro witt in his knowledge.
MRS. LINCOLN'S BOOK-EXPOSTJBES OF RADI?
CAL RASCALITT_It s jems that Mrs. Lincolns
"Book," in spite of ill the .efforts to keep it
back, is nearly read j for the press, and will
soon make its appet rance. The politicians,
office holders, and shoddy contractors who owe
their places and fortunes to her influence, and
who turned their booka upon her when her
troubles carno,'may look out for squalls. Tho
Louisville Journal say s:
An Illinois editor ins been permitted to
look through some ol its pages, teeming with
all that is rich and rare in Radical rule and
rascality. Hundreds of prominent members
of the Radical party ire painted in colors that
will make them still more prominent, but. if
possible, far less respectable. The Illinois edi?
tor gives us an inkling of what is to come. Ho
refers especially to tin case of John A. Logan.
In connection with this fresh-blown statesman.
Mrs. Lincoln records tho history of a diamond
ring-a splendid solitaire. When Logan pre?
sented it to her ho ga re her to understand that
it cost him several hundred dollars. Remem?
bering how few ther 3 were of Logan's friends
with whom his wore was as good as his well
endorsed bond, she sent the rmg to a New
York jeweller with a request that he would tell
her tho value of it. As she anticipated, the
ring turned out to be worthless-or very near?
ly so, the jeweller placing its value at eighteen
dollars-and it was returned to Logan with a
message which he probably remembers. From
this littlo incident wo may form some idea of
the quality of Mrs. Lincoln's book. It is to
be hoped that she will not suffer herself to bo
deterred from publis liing it. The public will
readily take a hunded thousand copies, and
from its sale she will realize quite as much as
her cast off finery woijd have brought her.
EVEBY AFTERNOON.- This new evening New
York paper has been nuspended after an exist?
ence of only one month. A notice from Mr.
Young, the proprietor and editor, in Saturday's
issue, makes the un pleisant announcement,
and states the cans : in the following senten?
ces:

appeal with hopo of success, inform me that
Every Afternoon ia ;t failure. It is, they tell
me, too high-priced, too heavy, too barren of
