V?T.TTTYTE VT -TOMBER 844] CHARLESTON, S. C., SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 2, 1868. [EIGHTEEN CENTS A WEEK ? V?i V AU.. BY TELEGKAPH. HIGHLY IMPORTANT SEWS, .? NEW CABINET.TO BE FORMED. THE PRESIDENT ACQUIESCES IN THE EECONSTBUCTION ACTS. MOVEMENT FOR A NEW PARTY. CHASE IN THE FOREGROUND. WASHINGTON, May 18.-It ie stated that im? portant Cabinet changes are in contemplation, looking to a reconciliation of the differences between Congress and the President. It is be? lieved that the formation of a revised Cabinet will tend to harmonize the Executive and Le? gislative Departments of the Government, and at the same rime to adjust the case of Stanton in such a manner aa to satisfy all parties with the exception of Stanton himself. The Presi? dent is said to have admitted that the Recon? struction measures of Congress have now gone"too far to be successfully opposed, and that the progress of events have rendered his own plan impracticable. Moreover, be believes that the material interests of the Southern States require an immediate representation of | some kind, and hence, it is said, he will give his foll co-operation in fut me to the Recon? struction scheme of Congress. This state? ment is made on high' Republican authority. [NOTE BY THE EDITORS.- The fol lo wiri g spe? cif: dispatch, which we find in the New York Times Of Saturday kst, throws a flood of light on the above statement: . 1 THIRD POLITICAL PARTY PROPOSED. "The most astounding political intrigue ever known to the politics of this country is now on foot among prominent politicians and office? holders in. this city- and elsewhere. The chief movers in it are Andrew Johnson, President of the. United States, after acquittal, and Chi cf Jus? tice Chase. Th e object is the formation of a third party, and the defeat of Gen. Grant-if nomina? ted at Chicago. On Tuesday last Ex-Go v. Pratt, of Maryland; said that acquittal would follow, and before the week was ont the country would | be astonished by an entire change of Cabinet. It has since transpired that the President has ..- agreed, to send in a new Cabinet of Republicans, .;' iaunediately after acquittai, and to adopt and ' strictly carry ont the reconstruction measures of Congress. Senator Henderson last, night staled thia agreement to bo a fact, and it is h^eyed by shrewd judges to bo one of the j principal elements whereby sufficient strength and power may be given to Mr. Chase's , party to maia it formidable, and to 'throw the Presidential election into the House of Repre? sentatives, if not to elect fte candidate before -the people. This movement expects to be able to defeat Gen. Grant by arraying itself against the extreme Radical element in the Republican party, which, it ia believed, will be his main support;- The proposition "that tbe President] shall abandon his opposition to Congress is intended to neutralize the power of that body kmg enough to make inroads upon it in favor " of this movement. When the Administration is fu?y reorganized, ita power and patronage will boused to enhance Mr. Chase's prospects. It is not believed he would accept ? Democratic PAwfrtatjfY", hot-tile fact that Mr. Voorhees -And many other prominent .Democrats or ->nly advocate his nomination,.ia conclusive that a strong Democratic sup port is at his command. Mr. Chase m.unreserved in bis expressions of j contempt roc General Graneas political lead? er, and for tiie impeachment movement, and bewails what he terms the tendency of the party to take np with email men, and says the party has srrrrendred to General Grant. His influence nias. been 'exerted from tbe beginning to defeat, the impeachment, and he ia behoved to ;have done more than any other min .lb secure the acquit? tal of. Mr. Johnson. ; Hence th> latter is wil? ling, if acquitted, to reward Mr. Chase by Throwing the infl??my of the administration in his fa vor.- The discovery of this intrigue has startled the political metropolis to it- very cen? ote. AU\eye8 are anxiously turned on the Chi? cago Con ven tien. The intriguers hope for the pqmntttteD of Wade as Yice-President, which Aey claim will place Grant on such an extreme Radical basis ss .to afford additional capital for J the ssw combination. These are the develop? ments which are in everybody's mouth to-day to the exclusion almost of even the verdict. Those who choose can take these statements cum grano taos. ?j But they are based on the facts and names mentioned above, and have an absolute foundation. One thing is certain, the J Chief Justice is still a candidate for the Presi? dency; any one who doubts this deserves s straight jacket."] : PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. IN THE HOUSE to-day a bill was introduced to prevent frauds in the matter of the abandoned sands in the Southern States. Also, a joint resolution amending the constitution so as to make naturalized citizens eligible to the Presi? dency. A committee of five was appointed to investigate the case of Senator Henderson and the ilissouri delegation. The Alaska Appro? priation mil was postponed to June. Stevens offered a resolution calling for the secret pro? ceedings of the High Court. He said that no one could doubt that there was deep damna? tion somewhere, and he wanted to And out .rho was guilty. In reply to a question whether senators would have been justified in committing perjury, he said: "Well, sir, I don't think it would have hurt them much." The resolution was then passed. In THE SENATE the Virginia Constitution was referred to the Judiciary Committee. After some other unimportant business the Senate adjourned to Thursday. Our European Dispatches. BEWS FROM JAPAN-DEFEAT OF THE TUSKS avmtt??? TO THE QUEEN-THE CANADIAN UNION -AT? ATES TN FRANCE. [FSB ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.] LONDON, May 18.-The newspapers all com? ment on tbe acquittal of President Johnson. The Times says the eleventh article was almost too vague for any substantial charge; bat the vote upon it corrects the fear of any party bias, and shows tbe case to have been judged on its merits alone. The Telegraph says that dignity and decorum have marked the whole trial, and now the acquittal of the President is its most fitting close. Even the most ultra Radicals will be compelled to admit this at no distant day. The Standard says that the Radi? cal plot has been beaten, and the country has been saved the shame of deposing its Chief Magistrate for refusing to obey an illegal act of Congress.. LONDON, May 15.-Late and important dis? patches have been receive^from Japan. The civil war was being vigorously prosecuted. The army of the Mikado had arrived at a point near Jeddo. The civil dissensions have killed com? merce in Japan. A dispatch from Athens contains the follow? ing: The Spakiotian mountaineers claim that in a recent conflict with the Turks the latter were defeated and driven to the seacoast. A deputation waited upon the Queen at Wind? sor Castle yesterday, and presented an address from the Irish Church Hierarchy in regard to the changes contemplated in the establishment. The Queen repli ed in vague terms, not commit? ting herself to the policy either of the Church or Liberal party. In the House of Commons this evening John Bright presented a petition from the people of Nova Scotia, praying Parliament to repeal the act by which that province was united to the dominion of Canada. The petitioners de? nounce the Canadian union act as an evil un? called for and unjust, the result of surprise sprang on the people, and of fraud practiced on Parliament. After the reading of the docu? ment the 26th instant was assigned for debate on the subject. PARIS, May 15.-In the Corps LegislatihTthe debate on commerce, which commenced early in the week with a speech from M. Thiers in favor of protection, was continued yesterday by Forcade, minister of commerce, who replied to Thiers. He deprecated reopening the com? mercial question and the creation- of a crisis in trade when peace and industrial prosperity were sure and undisturbed. He declared that France would not adopt a retrograde policy, either in commerce or any other pnblio question. General Failly, commanding tho encampment at Chalons, in an address to the troops, saya, war being possible, the labors of the camp must be serious and unremitting. It is rumored that Count Sartr nj minister at Borne, will be removed. Salnavc on the Rampage. KATANA, May 18.-Salnave has reached Port an Prince and arrested many citizens and shot some. American merchants were robbed, and others shot at their own windows by the troops. Salnave menaces the foreign consuls. Hr. Hollister has sent here for a war vessel and to Jamaica for a British vessel. Intense anxiety prevails. It is understood that the British gunboat Phoebe has left Jamaica to as? sist the American Minister. ; LATEB.-Advices from Port an Prince to th? 12th state that the whole country except Go~ naives, Jacme'i and the Cape were in anns against Salnave. At Jacmel the merchants were closin g their stores. A New York Excursion Party. RICHMOND, May 18.-The new steamer Isaac W. Bell, of the Richmond and New Tork line, arrived this morning from New Tork, with seventy invited guests, including forty ladies. Among the guests are Mayor Hoffman, of New .York, Senator Bradley, General Sawdello, TJ. S. A., Morgan Jones, C. G. Cornell, J. B. Nicholson, Isaac Bell, Owen W. Brennan, Hen? derson Moore, Judge Dowling, Henry Smith, and others. A banquet will be given on the ship this afternoon, and the party will leave to-morrow for Petersburg. They rejoin the steamer at City Point, and, upon arriving at Norfolk, will visit Fortress Monroe. They re? turn to New York on Thursday. A meeting of the City Council will be held this evening to welcome the visitors. The new steamer made the trip handsomely and to the satisfaction of the builder, who was on board. General Mahone came np with the party from Norfolk. Affairs in Georgia. ATLANTA, Hay 13.-Delegates to the Chicago Convention are passing through this city. Ex Governor Brown has gone. The new City Council are arranging accom? modations for the Georgia Legislature; the time of meeting has not been mode* known. Governor Bullock has gone to Washington. TEZ ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE PBTNCE AL FBED or ESOLAND.-Late mail dates from Aus? tralia give some interesting particulars of the recent attempt to assassinate Prince Alfred of England, from which we take the following: The affair occurred at a picnic given for the benefit of a Sailors'Home to be established at Sydney. The Prince had been invited in order to help the charity, and had kindly gone, draw? ing the beauty, wealth and fashion of the place. About half-past one the prince arrived in a special steamer, and the people collected at the wharf and cheered lustily, while the prince smiled and bowed his thanks. Imme? diately upon landing he /:s conducted to the luncheon tent, and m co. ?tty with the gov? ernor of the colony, Lady Belmore and several othera. partook of some refreshments. Leav? ing the tent, the Prince led Lady Belmore to a special pavilion which had been erected for the nae of the elite of the party, and then saunter? ed away with Sir William Manning (an old resi? dent of Sydney) to' enjoy a walk about the grounds. As he went along he met a gentleman named Allen, with whom he shook hands and chatted for a few moments, snd then handed an envelope to Sir William Manning, saying that it contained a donation to the Sailors' Home. Scarcely had he finished speaking when a man, whose name is now known to be OTarrel], was observed to run quickly across to where he was standing and tire with a revolver at the Prince, who immediately fell forward, crying out "Oh, my God, I am shot; my back is broken." Sir William Manning turned hastily round upon hearing the report of the revolver, and seeing that the man who had just fired had pointed his weapon towards him (Sir W. Manning), he stooped to get out of the line of fire, and in do? ing so fell. This time, however, the revolver snapped, and while O'Farrell was again level? ing his pistol at the Prince, a gentleman nam? ed Vial, who had witnessed the whole occur? rence, ran np and pinioned his arms to his body, thus changing the direction of the weap? on, which, however, exploded, the bullet hit? ting a Mr. Thorne in the foot. Meanwhile the report of the revolver had drawn together the picnicers from all parts of the grounds, and a scene of confusion and disorder ensued which no words can depict. O'Farrell strug? gled hard to get free from Vial, swearing fiercely and loudly, and in the tussle the identity of the combatants became a little confused. When, therefore, the bystanders, who had cow discovered that the Prince had been shot, rushed in and separated the men, they were uncertain as to which of them was the assassin, and while the majority of the crowd pitched upon the right man, Mr. Vial was also seized noon and very severely mal? treated. After awhile the police succeeded in getting hold of O'Farrell, but not before he had been terribly and brutally beaten. The people called savagely ont "K?l'him 1" "Hang him !" "Lynch him I", and fought desperately with the police to possess themselves again of his body, the poor wretch getting a dozen kicks and blows for every yard the police progressed down to the wharf, and, bleeding and uncon? scious from the injuries he had received, was conveyed to Sidney and lodged in jail. Mean? while, the Prince had been raised from the ground and conveyed to his'private tent, very weak from the loss of blood. An examination of his wound, however, showed it to be a very serious one, and, indeed, it is strange that the bullet, entering where it did, an inch or two to the right of the spine, about the middle ol the back, did not produce instant death, or, at any rate, more serious results than it has done.

THE POLITICAL CAULDRON AT WASHINGTON - TROUBLE TN THE RADICAL COUNCILS-WHAT SHALL BE DONE AT CHICAGO ?-THE OMNIBUS AND ARKANSAS BELLS. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette writes, under date of Friday evening : The most important development this morn? ing is that the course of Forney and Greeley in denouncing Judge Chase and Senators Fessen den, Grimes, Trumbull and Henderson does not meet with the approbation of eveu a ma? jority of Radical senators. The demoralization and trouble among them are infinitely beyond what is surmised out of Wasnington. The dif? ficulty looming np most prominently and de? manding immediate attention is how to treat the apparent schism at the nominating conven? tion. Will the aoti-impeachers be repudiated and denounced? The question will arise, per? haps, upon calling the name of Mr. Fowler, who has been elected a member and is at the head of the Tennessee delegation. Dare the party follow the lead of the Chronicle and Tri? bune, and refuse him or his proxy a seat? The revolutionists are confessedly in a peck of trouble upon these points, and I accordingly learn th at a senatorial canons was held this morning at the residence of Senator Pomeroy, corner of Vermont avenne and H street, and it is rumored, with great probability, that plans for smothering for the pr?sent?t least the ef? fects of the fend upon this particular question were freely discussed. What influence these movements may have upon a further postpone? ment of the vote upon impeachment I am un? able to say-opinions are variant in both poli? tical party - .circles. Mr. Pomeroy, although classed with impeachers of the deepest dye, is still a fast friend of the Chief Justice, lt Is probable, therefore, that the machinations this morning are favorable to delay in taking the question until the Chicago difficulty shall have been "bridged over." On the other band, it is thought in intelligent quarters that the Radi? cal majority may themselves press a vote for opposite purposes. The "managers" (it was whispered this morning by reporters of Re? publican papers) favor a direct vote, in the double object of cornering their adversaries, and clearing the way for the institution of a new impeachment upon new articles, to be tried by a "packed jury" composed in part by carpet-baggers pretending to represent the Southern states. It is possible this game will be played, with what, success remains to be seen. Taking it for granted that impeachment on the present articles is dead, the question of the fate of the Omnibus and Arkansas b ills becomes a matter of the gravest and most im? mediate consequence, what sufficient securi? ty can the dominant faction give tho anti-im p each ers in their own ranks that they will not take advantage of the influx of spurious sena? tors from the South? If they are caught in such a trap they will deserve either the exe? cration or contempt of every man in America. They well know that the removal of Mr. John? son a single month before the expiration of his full term, is intended to, and must eventually result, in civil war. The right to make a Presi? dent on grounds of party exigency alone is as clear as that of removing one for precisely the same reason. With Wade in possession of the Executive power, and their nominee in that o? the military, what would the present House oi Repr?sentatives care for a preponderance of electoral votes, even should the Radicals be in a-minority after counting the Ml vote of all the Southern States? HOW THE PRESIDENT TALES-HIS OPINION 07 SENATORS. The correspondent of the New York World gives an account of an interview with Mr. John? son on Thursday last. After the usual greet? ings, the President asked : "Well, what is there new to-day abont the impeachment ? Yon argus- eyed gentlemen are supposed to know nearly everything that's go? ing on." I stated to the President what appeared tobe the feeling in the city, and what I had been ad? vised was the average opinion in New York the previous Saturday afternoon. "8o," said he, "the weighty men of Wall street are not quite so confident.of what is call? ed conviction as they have been. "Such is my understanding." ? Mr. Johnson laughed an odd laugh, drum? med with his fingers on the desk before him, watched them while he drummed, and mutter? ed to himself: "Yea; well, well." "Of course, Mr. President, you're well enough aware, without my reminding yon, of all the methods by which the managers and the rest of the Radicals interested in the impeach? ment are endeavoring to force their point They are trying in particular to make senators believe that in. the event of acquittal the Presi? dent will, thus sanctioned in his well known outrageous goings on, at once proceed to mle or min the country, npset things throughout the South, spoil the reconstruction business with a swift hand, withdraw the troops, depose the mihtary governments, declare all congres? sional super-legislation null and void." "And, in fine,** interrupted the President, with a smile, "set np anarchy in general and preside over it with a sceptre, if he can." "That's about the end of the prophecy-yee-, certainly," continued Mr. Johnson, after an im? patient sign, "I anticipated just such non? sense, ?ou have been here often enough, and have heard my views expressed often enough, to render it needless to talk abont now. These men, 1 suppose, will stop at nothing. It will be Strange, though, if they make any unpreju? diced senator believe all the exaggerated state? ments that are afloat." I went on to remark that I had half pre? sumed thc President might deem it improper to make any public declaration of what he in? tended to do after the conclusion of the trial, and that I would not, therefore, suggest that he should vouchsafe such a communication to me. "I am strongly of the opinion," said the President, "that at this time the other side may be left to do the talking." The conversation then turned until it took the form of a discussion of the personal and Solitical character of the Senate. The Priai? ent had a list of senator's names on the table, and manifested a cool, deliberate interest while, complying with his request, I went over the h'et with a pencil and underscored the names of senators then supposed to be certain to vote for acquittal, or whose intentions were in doubt. He nodded favorably or shook his bead unfa? vorably, as the pencil marked name after name, and his remarks o pon the several candidates then humbly suggested for a decent immor? tality, were as 'temperate and unprejudiced as they were shrewd. He expressed the firmest faith in Fessonden, Trumbull and Grimes. His belief in the honesty of several other Republi? can senators was unshaken, and he was. manly enough, in nearly every instance, to seem to base bis hope upon the characters and dis? position of the men, without reference to their politics. When I thought of the manifold rea? sons he had to regard some of the individuals alluded to as among the bitterest of his per? sonal enemies, 1 could not help wondering at the triumph of the President's impartiality over his prejudices and passions. It was plain that Mr. Johnson'felt himself secure, although he did not express in terms his anticipation. Preparing to leave, I congratulated him upon his apparent confidence. "Whatever may be the result," he responded in a pleasant tone, "it certainly won't affect me." "It certainly won't affect you, Mr. President, in the regard and good opinion of your friends." "Nor in the good opinion of those every? where, I hope, whose regard a man with a clear conscience could ever prize," said the President, as he walked with me toward the door and said "good night." SENATOR FESSENDEN ON THE VERDICT- NOBLE SENTIMENTS. Mr. Fessonden concluded his speech against conviction as follows : To the suggestion that popular opinion demands the conviction of the President on these charges, I reply that he is not now on trial before the people, but before the Senate. In the words of Lord Eldon upon the trial of the Queen, "I take no notice of what is passing out of doors because I am supposed, constitu? tionally, not to be acquainted with it." And again, "it is the duty of those on whom a judi? cial task is imposed to meet reproach, and not court popularity." The people have not heard the evidence as we have heard it. The re sponeibdity is not on them, bul upon us. They have not taken an oath to "do impartial justice according to the constitution and the laws." 1 have taken that oath. I cannot render judg? ment upon their convictions, nor can they transfer to themselves my punishment if I vio late my own. And I should consider m undeserving the confidence of that just au telligent people who imposed upon me great responsibility, and unworthy a i among honorable men, if, for any fear of he reprobation, and for the sake of sect popular favor, I should disregard the co: {ions of my judgment and my conscience. The consequences which may follow e from conviction or acquittal are not for with my convictions, to consider. The ft is in the hands of Him who made and gov the universe, and the fear thal He will not ern it wisely and well would not excuse m a violation of His law. IIB. CHASE DETERMINED TO BEAT WADE BUTS THE RADICAL PARTY. The Washington correspondent of Fon Press says : The fact that the Chief Justice is conste in the company of Messrs. Fowler, Trnn and others, who are known to be or are coi ered doubtful, is accepted as circumsta proof that there has been a conspiracy i the first to accomplish the result now th i ened. He drives, dines and visits with tl early and late. It has been bis custom bei fore to hold himself aloof, and compel pe to seek bim, instead of seeking them, ai now does. A private letter from him tc eminent Southern loyalist declares that he done everything in his power in tho past tc feat Senaror Wade, and that he will contint do the same in the futuro. I hope soon tc able to get permission to print extracts f this letter; but until I do, yon must accept meagre abstract of its ron tents, in the fon ing sentence, as a specific explanation of extraordinary course. The reeling towt him, even among mild Republicans, is exc< ingly bitter, as even his personal friends I failed to offer a respectable apology for bis ] ceedings. Home of them predict that he become a candidate against Orant, and i his course will consolidate not only the i Republicana, but the War Democracy, in tl support of a ticket to which none but the et est advocates of impeachment eau object. OPINIONS 07 TEE REPUBLICAN PRESS. The New York Times roads a wholosc lesson to its brethren. Speaking of the BE cal attempts to overawe and overrule Court of Impeachment, it says; If the leaders of the Republican party tb that party has anything to gain by forcing result they seek-by bringing abont the Pr dent's removal by other 'means than a fi just and judicial conviction of his guilt, tl will not nave long to wait to find ont tb mistake. His removal, on the eve of a pn dential election, under any circumsfanc even if the testimony were so clear and uni peachableaa to leave no shadow of doubt distrust on the public mind, would have adc to the weicht which that party would havel to cgrry through the canvass. But h is com tion and removal, without the clear con vic t: and settled judgment of the required major of the court that tries bim-brought abont party violence, by personal or politi menaces, by coeicion or outside pressure any sort-will crush to the earth any party any faction that dares to try it. The New York Post (Radical) very sensit Bays : If the majority in Congress is wise it \ drop just here the whole impeachment bu ness, and go on with the other and importa matters which demand attention. It is imp sible to secure respect for a verdict for cour tion hereafter rendered by the High Cou The ircegukr and unlawful efforts to sect that end have been too shameless, too cons cuous. Of what use or ?bice will be the silei of Mr. Henderson, or th? resignation of 2 Trumbull? Of what accent will be the ct viction of the President py one or two voti or indeed by any number, ticer the proceedin of Tuesday? WADE'S VIEWS. "Mack" writes : 4 Senator Wade ia quite confident the Preside will be convicted. Ho was asked this afternoe if his vote should be required, if he would gi it, and then resign, BO as to make Colfax Pre dent. H?B reply was quici: "If I had twee voice Td give thom all; an8 as for resigning never thought ol such a thing; of course shan't." CHARGES OF CORRUPTION. Radical organs nave already began to t smear with filth those senators whose sense justice will not permit them to vote for the ii peachment of the President. Speaking Mesare. Trumbull, Fesaenden, Grimes ai Henderson, the Boston Traveller Bays: It ls stated that these four gentlemen had private interview with the President abo three* weeks ago, and pledged themselves vote for his acquittal if be would nomina General Bohoifeld as Secretary of War. Th statement oomes from the best of sources, an is credited by a great many senators. Ti opinion is freely expressed by Radical senate: that all these four senators have been bong] by the free nae of money. The members < the whiskey ring claim this morning that th? have disposed of two millions of money darin the past ten days, but preserve an entire ret cence aa to where it went. The New York Tribune meanly inquire "what ls Mr. Trumbull's guerdon for defent ing the President?" and the Sun brings up ti rear with a dirty insinuation that "there is woman in Mr. Henderson's case, which a? counts for his defection." A HOWL FOB RADICAL RECRUITS FROM TE SOUTH. Forney isn't so certain of conviction as h used to be, and now howls for the admission e Radical senators until the requisite two-third is made up. He pays : Now, if the nation, in this hour of her ei tremity, needs loyal votes in the Senate, let th loyal majority admit at once the senators fror the newly-reconstructed and regenerated Stat of Arkansas. They are standing waiting a the door. It is a superfluous caution that keep them out. Bring in, too, if there is need c them, patriot senators from Florida, Georgiu Louisiana and the Carolinas. It needs bu little time to bring their representatives on th floor of Congress. If the country needs there or if there id a risk thu L she may need them let the loyal senators from the ??tates we hav made loyal by the sword and at the cost of th nation's best blood come in." THE RADICAL PARTY SPLIT IN TWATN-FOBNE DENOUNCES MB. CHASE. 'The Washington Chronicle, of Friday, says : Those who are not for us are against us. Wi would trust no man whose sympathies are no sufficiently enlisted in the great cause of thi people to express himself. Andrew Johnson'! friends have no difficulty in saying that the; intend to vote for his acquittal, and .ve canno' view the recreant senators in any other lighi than as co-conspirators with Andrew Johnsoi to effect this purpose. As for Mr. Chase's little game, it will be as effectually blocked oy a post? ponement as by a conviction. He says ''the party has surrendered to General Grant,' whoso habits aro a constant theme with Chase's partisans, and it is no secret that Mr. Chase would infinitely prefer Andrew Johnson at President for the balance of bis natural life than eeo either Mr. Wade or General Grant in that office for a day. Hiving failed to secure a nomination for President over Mr. Lincoln in 1864, it is well known that Secretary Chase endeavored, after the Baltimore Convention had placed its candidates in th?j field, to organ? ize a new movement to divide the party. Fail? ing in this, he reluctantly retired to'the Su? preme Bench, where he has considered himself politically shelved, and with restless ambition has constantly manoeuvred to get the Presi? dency. An eminent politician, well acquainted with the purpose of prominent men in Wash? ington, annonnced six mouths ago that there were to be three candidates for the Presidency, of whom Chase and Grant would be two, with a view of throwing the election into Congress, out of which the Chief Justice expected to come triumphant. We expoct this is a true indication of the ultimate purposes of ihe Chief Justice, who has resorted to An extra? ordinary amount of dinner diplomacy, and long drives with doubtful senators, to defeat impeachment. It is abont time his long career of treachery to the Republican party iras ex? posed. Nobody, of course, doubt9 that he and Andrew Johnson long ago conspired together to save the life of JeffersoT Davis; and that this leading traitor would have been tried, con? victed, and punished long ago hod an honest judge performed his duty and an honest ex? ecutive enforced the law. THE BANDALL-HAMILTON RENCONTRE. I The facts in regard to tho difficulty on Fri day afternoon, between Samuel J. Randall an^ ex-Governor Jack Hamilton, of Texas, are given as follows in the Washington Express, which says : Mr. Randall, in company with Senator Cam? eron, Mr. Jonah D. Hoover, and another gen? tleman, were seated in the dining-room of tbe hotel, when Hamilton entered to eee Senator Cameron, and the two repaired to the bar-room and engaged in conversation. Soon after Mr. Randall left the dining-room, and, passing by the parties who were conversing, inquired Hamilton's name. The latter replied that he was ?. J. Hamilton, of Texas. Some harsh words then passed between them, and there? upon Hamilton struck Mr. Randall with a heavi? ly loaded cane, the blow falling on the right side of the head, near the eye. The assault was followed up by other blows of the same sort, until the parties clinched and fell to the floor, Mi*. Randall in the meantime giving his antagonist a well-directed blow under the eye, which left a black streak in the immediate vicinity. Mr. Whitney, proprietor of the house, then interfered, and succeeded in separating the combatants, after which Hamilton went to the room of Senator Cameron, in the hotel, and Mr. Randall was cared for by his friends, who accompanied him to his home in George? town. He was considerably injured about the head, but it is thought that he is not seriously hurt. Sjjfcid natters. SS*BRITISH CONSULATE -PORT OF CHARLESTON.-Mw.

February 20 thstu 3moe ?^S-A-R^A-P-A-R-I-I^L-I-A-N.-BID DEN VIRTUES BBOUGHT TO LIGHT.-For three hundred years the curative properties of Sarsaparilla have lain dormant in a part of the root that have j escaped the notice of chemists. By the new process recently discovered by Dr. BADWAY, in extracting the medicinal properties from vegetable substances that enter into the composition of RAD WAY'S REN? OVATING RESOLVENT, SABSAPA BILLIAN, the crystalline principle o'. Sarsaparilla was found to possess the true virtues ascribed to this root, ob? tained as it now is under Dr. BsDWAY'S new pro? cess, rescues', by RB wonderful curative power over all forms of Chronic, (-kin, Scrofulous and uncured secondary diseases, the reputation of Sarsaparilla from the unfavorable opinion of the Medical Faculty. SARSAPARILLIAN, SARSAPARILLA!*, associated with other ingredients of extraordinary curative properties, enters into the composition of BADWAY'S BENOVATING RESOLVENT, and this remedy may now be considered as the most effectual and quick curative remedy in all Chronic Glandular, skin, Sidney, Bladder and Urinary diseases. Indus eases of the Lungs, Bronchi, Throat and liver, it af? fords immediate assistance. It communicates its curative powers through the blood, sweat and urine. Tho moment it is swallowed it commences its work of purification and the expulsion of corrupt humors from tho blood. It repairs the waste of the body with sound and healthy material, and secures func? tional harmony of each depraved organ in the natu? ral s e ere ti on of its proper constituents. In cases where there is difficulty In tee Kidneys and Dia? betes, Gravel, Catarrh, or irritation of tho Bladder, Bright's Disease, Ac, Ac, is present, this remedy will give immediate relief and insure a cure. QUESTION.-Dr. A-1 asks: "Will your SABS A PARJLHAN RESOLVENT make a permanent cure ot uncured secondary disease, and restore the vigor of Ufe to those uniortunates who by self-abuse or otherwise ore suffering a waste of the Ufe fluid?" ANSWEB.-The purilying.ystrengthening and re? parative properties of this remedy ia truly wonder? ful. In 1849-5U, when thia remedy was first intro? duced, it made extraordinary cures of persons who were treated unsuccessfully on the Parisian plan, both in Europe and in this country, by vapor baths of Mercury, Arsenic, Sulphur, and Iodine, Potash, Mer. cury in several forms, and by inunctions, which only suppressed or stifled the disease; and persons cured by the Resolvent made under the old process, afflict d with Spermatorrhoea, weakening Discharges, &c, threatening impotency, have since married and have cbUdren of from five to fifteen years now living, without a sign of inherited disease. This we con? sidered good evidence of its thorough curative aud fruitful efficacy.-(.-'ce page 14 of "False and 'I rue," Dr. Bad way's new Medical Book, article headed, 'Ricord ti. Bad way. "J If this remedy, prepared nnaer the old process, possessed such powerful curative properties, its fail? ure now is improbable and almost impossible. lu all cases of Skin Diseases, Pimples, Blotches, Worms or Insects, Black spots ia the Flesh, Sores, Eruptions, Ac, a few dotes will remove and restore the skin to a clear und beautiful appearance.
