The Political Situation.
- ,1t is a matter of considerable in?
terest ot this time-to arrive at? cor?
red - ?mclusio? as to what tlie de?
sign? of the radicids are in the wild
legislation they | are now driving
thrdugh both Louses in the national
capitol. It is notjgonerally believed
that they intended tho civil rights
bill to be ?n?orced as a lav, nnd that
it was simply their expectation that,
by its passage over the veto, they
Would thus secure a means of foment?
ing alienation between the people of
. ' the North and the South.
The New York World is of opinion
that-the radicals contemplated, by
<the now enforcement of the law in
the Southern States, they would find
nsw" grounds of accusation ajjainst
the President. It says:
"The real obstacle to tho success of
th? law is the repugnance of the
Southern people to its provisions, and
their disbelief in its constitutionality;
in consequence of which commission?
ers will not servo nor juries convict.
But its failure will be attributed to
the neglect and opposition of thc
President. The law authorizes him
to order judges to hold special ses?
sions of their courts at places where
the law is disregarded. Its authors
expect to find cases in which this is
not done, and to make it a prominent
ground of the threatened impeach?
ment.
"The main purpose of the im?
peachment is to hr.ve the army under
the command of a Republican at the
Presidential election of 1868. With
President Johnson in office, the
Southern States would all choose
Presidential electors. If, by count?
ing the votes of tho Southern electors,
the anti-Bepublican candidate should
be elected, Mr. Johnson would, of
course, hold that he was fairly elect?
ed, and entitled to be inaugurated iu
President. Mr. Johnson being Com
mander-in-Chief of tho army, th<
Republicans could not inaugurate
tlmr candidate if he was not duh
elected. The President is, therefore
regarded by the Republican party a:
an obstacle to be put out of the way
but whether by impeachment or by i
political manoeuvre will not be imb
decided till after noxt fall's elections. '
We are of opinion that before tin
period of these elections, the sobe
second thought of the voters of th*
North will drive these faetiouist
from the hails of legislation, an?
that, finding themselves foiled, thei
efforts at revolution will bc aban
doned. The World thinks that ('hie
Justice Chase will be the candidate o
the radicals, and there is little doub
but that, if they feel themselve
strong enongh after the Congressiona
elections, they will attempt an im
peachment of the President, witl
which success may bo inferred fron
the fact that Chief Justice Chase
according to the Constitution, mus
preside in the Senate when sitting a
a court for the trial of impeachment?

Immigration.
We have sundry schemes invitiuj
the citizens of the South to expatri
ate themselves, but the most ad van
tageous we have seen is that no-\
offered to the freedmen. We lean
from a circular recently issued by th
American Colonization Society, tho
it intends to send x vessel to Liberi
early in May, should the number c
freedmen desiring to go to that "hui
of happiness and freedom" bo sui
ticient to justify the expense. Th
latest news from the emigrants wh
went thither last year, state, that th
emigrants were delighted with tb
land of their adopt ion.
The inducements held out ure, ibu
five acres of rich land are given t
each emigrant immediately on lane
ing. Schools and churches are i
great abundance, and every freedmu
is his own bureau. This is a grei
inducement to our freed-people; an
as there aro thousands who complai
they cannot g(*t ^vork in the town
and cities they generally flock to, w
should think they would universal!
avail themselves ol the liberal offen
tho Colonization Society. All wh
want to go aro requested by tho ci:
cular to make immediate applicatiu
to thc Rev. W. W. McClain, D. D
Financial Secretary of the America
Colonization Society, Washingtc
City, D. C. We think wo are doin
the freedmen a service by exfcendir
this notice.

sary and injarious, now that the

j It is to be hoped that the friendly
relations betweeu tho church, North
and South, will be re-established,
and whether the churches, will re?
unite or not, thny may work together
1 in harmony. The subject of lay rep

doubtless betaken into consideration,
I and as thc eondition'of the country

j MOST HORRIBLE MURDEH.-Tin
! people of Philadelphia and the neigh
I boring localities were horrified 01
; tho lltb. inst, by tho discovery of on?
of the most horrible murders eve;
perpetrated probably in any commu
! nity. The Deering family, father
mother, and four children, a youiu
femalo cousin of Mr. Deering, and i
boy of seventeen years of age, wer.
brutally murdered at their farm re
sidenee, near the city. The murdo
was committed on Saturday, 7th inst,
and th* bodies were discovered, in
j state of decomposition, in a barn, OJ
I the following Wednesday.
The murderer's name is Autoin
Probst; had been in the employmen
of the Deering*. He lingered abeu
the city, indulging in his vicious ar
petites, until he was arrested. Th
object of his horrible deed w?
I money, which he discovered Mi
j Deering had, and, iu addition to thi
; stimulus, was ill-feeling towards tb
j family for having previously dis
. charged him from their employment
j The full report of the case, ami th
? evidence before the coroner's jun
j exhibit this atrocious murder as tl:
blackest crime ou record in this com
try. The brutal murder of four chi
dren was the act of a demon, n<
j that of a human being.
The coroner's jury, after an inve
' tigation of tho murder of the Doti
; ing family, found a verdict ehargir
Antoine Probst, now under arres
with the murder of all the eight vi
tims.

MR. STEPHENS BEFORE THE RECO
STRDCTION COMMITTEE. -A large nur
i ber of witnesses were examined b
fore the Committee, on Monday las
Among them the testimony of Ho
Alexander H. Stephens was <?<>
! eluded. Mr. Stephens gives ns li
I opinion that an overwhelming ni
! jority of the people of Georgia a
i exceedingly anxious for the restor
I tion of the Government, and for t
I State to take her former position
the Union, and enjoy all her right
and adjust all her obligations as
! State under the Constitution of t
, United States as it stands amende
I His opinion is, and the .sentiment
the people of Georgia is, that the e
i ercise of the right of secession was j
: sorted to from a desire to render tin
' liberties and institutions more seem
? and from a belief on their part tl
this was absolutely necessary ior tl
L object. He thinks that the peo]
are perfectly satisfied with the expe
ment, and that they will never ros<
to that measure of redress again. 1
believes tl ic only hope for their lib
ties now is, the restoration of t
Constitution o' the United States a
of the Government under the Con?
tntion.
? REAL ESTATE D ROM NIX? IN N
YORK.-A correspondent of Monda
Philadelphia Ledger says:
"The real estate sales have st
denly ceased, owners of property c
dently being disgusted with the 1
prices recently realized. Large p
eels, in tho upper part of tho isla]
which were advertised to be brou)
to the hammer next week, are wi
drawn. Tho speculative feeling
this description of property, in fr
has totally died out."
It is rumored, on tho best antin

of the Supreme Court of the Uni
States for the Southern District, A

fio m Eastport state that a document,
pervading the E?g??h ?nilora to join
tho Fenian ranks, has been circulated
, on board' the British gun-boat at
Campobello. Forty men on the
j Gleaner, au English vessel, have been
put iii irons for mutiny. A reward of
$1,000 is to bo offered for the arrest
of the capturers of the flag on Indian
Island. Fenians still arrive at East
port; 250. were expected, yesterday,
from Boston. The Mayor of Calais,
Me., apprehends serious trouble from
the presence of Fenians iu his town,
and he has telegraphed to the Go?
vernor for protectiou. No disturb?
ance had occurred us yet. Doran
Killian is to address a mass meeting
in Calais. No ono it* allowed in thc
streets of Cornwall after ll o'clock at
night. Colonel Wheeler is of a san?
guine and cheerful temperament, and
takes his imprisonment easy. Two
United States army officers, appear?
ing on the streets in their uniform,
occasioned some excitement, and nar?
rowly escaped arrest. The trial of
the Cornwall prisoners commenced
on Tuesday last.

"The Kalmia "Mills, located be?

The "Richmond Rvamitter, of Tues?
day, hos a letter from Mr. Thomas
II. Tit I in, jrrtx?ide??> of the Hollywood
Cemetery Company, from which we
learn that the number of the dead of
the Confederate army buried at Holly?
wood, is 11,075. A register was kept,
in- which we noted the name, rank,
company, regiment and State of each
soldier buried. Every precaution
was taken to insure regularity and
system in the interments, because it
was anticipated that after the wai
many i omovfds would be made.
Mr. Ellis says that there is as much
probability of certainty in regard tc
identity, or tho obtaining of any par?
ticular body asked for, among those
buried in the Hollywood Cemetery
as exists, perhaps," anywhere clw
under similar circumstances.
Ho then makes the following Bug
gestion in regard to these graves
"The view I have is this: "With fei
exceptions, the dead of tho army ar
buried together in rows, near to ead
other, admitting of but a limite
number of walk-ways- or avenue?
These graves 1 would have sinipl
remoulded and turfed, with a small
neat head-stone to each, the sum?m
carved upon the stone, and nude.- th
name a number, referring to the nun:
ber in the register, containing all th
particulars known or given, as abov
stated. Tho expense of snell an in

control of thc ladies of Rich mom'

About the most refreshingly icy
thing of this muggy weather was the
proposal of Mr. Stevens, in the House,
to-day. for that body to take stock in
the Washington Moi'ning Chronicle.
The House couldn't exactly stand the j
dose, und, in this instauce, at least, \
failed to "'follow my leader."
In the Senate, to-day, rather au
extraordinary scene occurred, creat?
ing no little sensation for a time on j

the question under debate, concern
ling a branch of thc Union Pacific j

that his colleague was animated iu his

that his colleague misrepresented and i
disgraced his State, and that nothing I
but a feeling of charity had prevent- 1
ed him (Mr. C.) from moving his ex?
pulsion. Mr. McDougall, in answer?
ing Mr. Conness, proceeded to tell a
story which rather astonished tho

appointed Supreme Judge for the
Tennessee District, in placo of Judge
Catron, deceased, stands very little
chance of being confirmed by the

supporter of the President's policy.
Ir order to avoid giving offence to

tike up the bill re-organizing the Su?

some weeks ago, and which abolishes \
this district, and reduces the number |

mission. They expect to be able to
do this. There is ''evidence" from
unheard-of persons, alleged also to
be in the plot at one time, which tho

involves Davis in the assassination
