Tho cont of reconstruction haft been
reckoned to amount to a $100,000,.
000 a, year ; lint the. coat o? th o im?
peachment pl the. ; President, the
National Intelligencer thinks, Will like?
ly exceed that cum. It cannot be
estimated by any comparison with
tho oxponse o? the often referred to
trial of Warren Hastings. This trial
will exceed that, in coat, by as much
aa it does in importance. The trial
of Hastings lasted seven years, but it
occupied the House of Lord? only
120 days, at various intervals, winch
were- required for obtaining testi?
mony from India. In the end, Hast?
ings was acquitted, but required to
pay the cost of prosecution, amount?
ing to .?71,000, wdilo the cost of the
Government waa over a ?100,000.
Bat tiie trial of Hastings did not in?
terrupt the course of business, nor
shake the public credit, nor threaten
the Empire with dissolution. The
impeachment of the President has al?
ready disturbed the business relations
of the country, and has postponed
indefinitely that attention to its de?
ranged fiscal concerns which was ex?
pected and required from Congress.
If the agitation so persistently pro?
moted by Congress, should continue
much longer, and mingle with the
strife of the Presidential election, it
may cost the bond-holders and the
banks more than one-half of their
entire investments. It ia very plain
that the radical majority in Congreso
will stop at nothing in pursuit of
their purpose to overthrow the Go?
vernment aa it waa established by
the Constitution, and concentrate its
powers in the hands of this central
directory. Their President, if they
obtain one through impeachment,
will be a mere puppet in their posses?
sion-a sort of "supple-jack," for
their amusement and derision. The
oost of the impeachment can only be
estimated by the amount of damage
whioh it has done and will do to the
credit of the Government abroad and
at home, and by the loss which must
be sustained by paralyzing every
effort in the future for the material
recuperation of the Southern staple
produoing States.
The debate on the Irish question,
in the House of Commons, has con?
tinued and ended pretty much like
all the other debates on the same
subject, in thu same place. Mr.
Gladstone condemned five out of the
six plans proposed by the Ministry
for-the benefit of Ireland, and only
approved of a scheme of political
reform. Mr. Disraeli was rut hor sar?
castic and jocose in deploring the
fate which gave him a difficulty of
700 years' standing to be settled-a
supernatural emergency. He did not
want to meddle with the Irish Church
establishment, and unsettle a system
which had existed for three hundred
years. He ended by usking for time
-a little more time; and then Mr.
Maguire's resolution was withdrawn.
It would not very much surprise any?
body if, after all, Mr. Disraeli <lio
meddle with tho Church establish?
ment in Ireland, and, in some verj
sudden way, upsot it and do awaj
with it. In England, the New Yorls
Times asserts, there are very few tc
praise that establishment, and nom
to lovo it, in all probability.

At a regular moeting ot Palmetto Lodge
No. 5, I. O. O. F , held ou the evening of
the 20tb Instant, the following preamble
and resolutions were offered and adopted:
The angel of death, having hardly given
ua time to realize the demise of one bro?
ther, has again reaped from amongst oar
numbers and inflicted another severe loss
to our Lodge. As a robber selects gene?
rally the moat valaable portion of a trea?
sure, so eoeme death to havo aelected the
most valaable members of our Order, and
thoee of aa that aro left can only, in sor?
row and submission, bow to tho will ot an
all-wise Providence.
Our late Brother aud .Secretary, F. W.
PAPS, baa departed from our midst. In
the prune of manhood he was called from
his honorable and useful career, and here
we are again assembled, missing him whom
we honored for his many virtues and rare
talents; whom we cherished as s friend;
whom wo love i as a brother; who was en?
deared to ua for bia kindness and affability;
in whom wu trusted, because of biB un?
wavering integrity; bim who, with a jea?
lous seal, worked for tho welfaro of thia
Lodge and of the Order, and who, with
rare devotion and exactness, performed
the duties of the office he held in thia
Lodge.
His body rests in the silent gravo-him
we shall never moro behold in this vale of
tears. Ilia voice will not again be heard
in our councils, bat his memory will live in
oar hearts; and as we now bewail his sud?
den and irreparable loss, so we desire to
cherish his memory by recording hie vir?
tues and his devotion to the great princi?
ples of our Order. But not alone aa a
member of this Lodge do we feel the death
of the deceased. We miss him in the
walks of life, tn thia community, where be
built up for himself an everlasting monu?
ment in the hearts of those to whom he
was a guide, a teacher and a friend; and
hero we may safely say that tow men die
like him, leaving bohind ao many virtues
and carrying ao few faults.
Resolved, Thal in the death of our late
brother, F. W. Tape, Palmetto Lodge ha?
lost one of ita truest aud moat valued
members; one who was zealous in the pro?
motion of its interests and perfect in tho
performance of tl. duties as au officer;
that we bemourn bia demise aa an irre?
parable losa to thia Lodge and to the
Order.
Resolved, That wo tender to his aged
and bereaved father and family our warm
sympathies, and coudoie and feel with them
the loss they have sustained.
Resolved, That aaa token of respect, tho
members of thia Lodge wear the usual
badge of mourning, and the Jewels of the
Lodge be clothed in mourning, for the
apace of thirty days; and that a page in
our rooord book be dedicated to bis memo?
ry, with bia name and the date of hie death
iusoribed thereon.
Resolved, That tho Secretary be in
structed to furnish the family of the do
ceased with a copynf the above preamble
and resolutions, under seal of the Lodge.
Resolved, That tho above bo published
in tho daily paper of this city.
