Developments.
Thc Washington correspondent of
the Baltimoro Gazette says that tho
programme of the section of which
Stevens is the leader, confessedly de?
mand three things, namely:
1. The removal of tho President,
the setting aside of the present ?State
Governments of the South, and the
remodelling of the Supreme Court.
2. That no Southern Territory
shall be recognized as a Stale until
the Federal Constitution itself gua
rautees to every "loyal" citizen with?
in the Union the ballot and education,
and to the negroes laud besides.
3. The disfranchisement of every
man at the South, complicated, in
any manner, in the late civil war, and
the confiscation of his property, even
to the extent of ignoring the pardon?
ing power of the President.
This plan, in all its enormity, has
the support of at least seventy-five
members of the radical representa?
tion. Those who, fearful of the recoil
of public sentiment, and the crushing
power of popular reaction, whenever
these measures shall be attempted to
be practically and forcibly put into
execution, have hesitated to follow
the lead of Stevens in this instance,
nevertheless demand:
H^lst. The reconstruction of the
Southern States in virtue of au Act
of Congress repudiating their exist?
ing status ns States, and au admission '
of the power of Congress to regulate ?
the right of suffrage therein.
2d. The eternal prohibition to hohl
even State offices of at least four-:
fifths of the people of those States- j
and
3d. The restriction (under test j
oaths) of representation in Congress,
and all Federal offices to the negroes
and interlapers of the South.
Between these plans, I confess I
can see but this practical difference:
That the latter, from its ' hypocrisy
and insidiousness, is tho more mis?
chievous as promising a longer delay
in a final settlement. The former,
through its more marked and more
honest ult raisin, is calculated to
arouse the people to a just apprecia?
tion of the true political condition of
the country, and the fact, now potent
to every one, of- the utter incapacity
of the political tricksters in Congress
to deal with the momentous questions
before them.
Besides, many voted with the ma?
jority, on this occasion on the ground
that the bill was too lenient to the
Southern people. Mr. Julian,
although votiug iu the minority, was
of this opinion; but, like the old or?
thodox Presbyterian when told that
according to even Universalist, belief
a soul might bo punished with fire
and brimstone 5,000 years, while
objectiug to too great a leniency , i ?
luetantly admitted that it was "betti r
than nothing."
Tho Chronicle, of this morning,
claims Gens. Grant, Sickles, Ord,
Heintzelnfan, Sheridan and Thomas
as recent accessions to the radical
party. This \sholesaleappropriation
of high names, besides being a sign
of feebleness, is wholly referable to
the "recent accession" of Gen.
Thomas as a visitor here. It was no
news to be informed of his radicalism
or of that of Gen. Sheridan. With
regard to the others, tho Chronicle
knowingly falsifies the record.
Brevet Brig. Gen. Haynes, in com
maud of tho Watervliet (N. Y.) Arse- j
rmi, has reported to the ordnance j
office a case of spontaneous conibus- !
tion, which occurred nt tho arsenal i
recently. This combustion resulted
?from the spreading of saw-dust in?
stead of sand, as was ordered, on
some linseed oil which had leaked
from a barrel. The saw-dust thus
mixed with oil ignited spontaneously
in twelve hours, in a cellar where it !
had been placed in a box, but was j
discovered before doing any damage. |
The temperature of the cellar was
only thirty-six degrees.
The nnmber of American visitors
to Jerusalem during the last few
months has been greater than of any
other nation, the Russians excepted.

j UNITED STATES.-Thc Puris corrcs
! pondout of the London Morning
Post, writing upou th< relations of
Franco and tho United States, and
the possible effect of President John
I son's impeachment, saj-s:
j "We must get to tho end of tl"
! month of Mutch before France
? be quiio ont of possible danger ai
I regards the Mexican expedition. But,
under any circumstances, if Mr.
Johnson is found guilty und removed
from his office ns Chief Magistrate,
tho Agreement made by France foi
evacuating Mexico will not, of course,
be in any way affected. On thc othei
hand, this impeachment will prevenl
any negotiations which may hnv<
I been contemplated by France wit!
regard to Mexico.
"There is every reason to believe
that the French have sounded th(
Washington Government as to its in
tentions towards Mexico after thc
French army has come away, because
it is believed here that Maximiliai
will not hold out long, and tba
eventually tho United States mus
interfere in establishing a rep?blica!
Government. Nov.-, when theFrenel
flag is withdrawn from Mexico
France Ands herself deeply engag?e
in Mexican interests. She has speu
niauy hundreds of millions of franc
on tho empire, and there is nanci
French - property and life to protec
in that far-off continent. So far a
France is concerned, the impeach
meut of President Johnson seems ti
add to the Mexicali imbroglio. Th'
French press appear to look upoi
this conduct of Congress towards th
President as a political event wind
shall shake the foundation of tho re
public. Your contemporaries -geno
rally agree that the President ma;
have committed faults, but has don
nothing to invite so grave a charge a
that of high treason. Messrs. Roths?
child are understood to have receive
a telegraphic, message from Amor?o
which cost 15,000 francs. Repoi
immediately declares that there ar
financial negotiations going on eithe
with the Government of the Unite
States or Mexico, or both."'

correspondent of the Jonrnalof Con
merer, writing on thc 11th. state
that thc impeachment eimspiracy :

a feeling akin to general ainazeincn
Thc writer says:

Johnson has somewhat alienated tl
good will e>f the French people thei
selves, as he undoubtedly has that

and thc Presse hopes that politic
good sense will not fail the statesm
of the Union at this crisis. In sho

of its gravity. and ill consequenci
And it is quite natural that su

winter of 1807-8, the Legislate
which had no right thus to moe
the Constitution, passed an Act

the new Constitution was adopl
that women and negroes were 1

.VN 1NTKEPIO SOU?HKUN (?IKT,.--A
majority of the newspaper readers in
this city will no doubt remember the
account given last April of a start?
ling tragedy in Putnam County, re?
sulting in the death of two Yankee
outlaws and the most fatal wounding
of another, the instrument used ou
the occasion bciug au ordinary chop?
ping axe. in the hands of MIKS Mari?
na (lunter, an amiable young:lady,
moved for the moment to desperate
freney by ihe inhuman treatment her
aged father was receiving from these
merciless torment?is. Each of these
fiends was armed with pistols and
knives, and at the time of their
"sudden taking off" were belaboring
their almost helpless victim with
clubs and stones. It wasdoubtless
their intention to murder Mr. Gun?
ter, and for this purpose had visited
his house at night, HU? heedless of
the cries and entreaties .of his wife
and children, dragged him some 300
yards from home, beating and curs?
ing him every step of the way. But
a terrible vengeance awaited them.
In the height of their power aud pas?
sion, a well-directed blow from the
hands of the intrepid Marina sent
the axe to tho handle in thc body of
one of the miscreants, and iu another
moment the same bloody iustrumcut,
gleaming iu tho moonlight, weut
crashing into the skull of another.
But there was yet another of thc
despicable trio, more artful than tho
rest, to receive a portion of this well
merited vengeance. Seeing his com?
panions upou the ground weltering
in their blood, Patton drew his pistol
and threatened to shoot the girl if
she advanced upon him. Thus held
at bay for the instant, sho could do
no better than to hurl tho axe at her
valiant foe, having the good luck to
almost serer his arm from his body.
Mr. Guuter and his son wi re soldiers
in the Confederate army, and this
fact had secured for him the ill will
of his radical neighbors.

WHY Tin: IMPEACHMENT WiiiE FAIL.
Capital is proverbially timid ut all |
times, and it may reasonably be par- I
doned for being unusually rnlgetty
about an event which, if consum?
mated, or even seriously attempted,
woulduuscttlovalues and depreciate ?
Govcrnnii nt securities to an extent '
that would go far toward reminding
thc <. ?untry of the war times three j
years ago. There are ni my who sneer
at the idea of the removal of Johnson !
by the legal process .of impeachment
impairing the value of Government
bonds, or increasing the premium on |
gold.
Their stoicism would be more rea?
sonable if they could explain, upon
some other hypothesis than they so
loftily deride, why the other day gold
jumped three per cent., when in
fact, as to international affairs, every?
thing was transcendantly lovel}', and
the answering bird hung suspended
at a very encouraging elevation. But
upon rigid inquiry it was discovered
that a gentleman by the namo of"
James B. Steadman, ol" Toledo, Ohio,
had made his appearance on Wall
street that moruing, and expressed
the conviction that a serions attempt
was about to be made to impeach the
President, and upon his mere opinion
gold had gone up three per cent.
New York stock and gold brokers
attach so much importance to thc
matter, that many of tho leading
firms have sent agents to Washing?
ton to keep them supplied with early
and reliable information as to ?he
progress made in the direction of
impeachment-a very foolish piece
of business, for the kind of men
generally sent upon such errands by
the money kings, know very little of
politics, and less of the way to get at
the truth of what rumors they hear
floating around.
[ Cincinnati Commercial.
LOOK OUT FOR THE SCAMP.-A fel?
low called Sateh^r nas been going
around the city, imposing upon the
benevolent, and levying contribu?
tions, by artful tales, in sonic measure
supported by letters which he exhi?
bits. Ile imposed himself upon a
gentleman, a few days ago, as an ex
Coufederute soldier, who had served
during tho whole war and had been
disabled, and so worked on the kindly
feelings of heart as to extract from
him tlie last dollar he had in the
house. On tho pastor of the First
African Baptist, Church, he passed
himself as having belonged to the
Federal army, and as belonging to
Dr. Broadman's Church, on Broad
and Arch streets, Philadelphia.
Ile has letters from Generals Beau?
regard and Wade Hampton, and from
Dr. Brandy, of Atlanta, and Kev. T.
