The Util Article o? Impeachment.
The Chief Justice ha3 explained]
the artiole upon which, the President
has been acquitted, and upon which |
the Senate first voted. He says:
"Tho gravamen of the article
seems to be that the President at?
tempted to defeat the execution of
the tennre-of-office-act, and that he
did this in pursuance of a declara?
tion which was intended to deny the
Constitutional competency of Con?
gress to enact laws or propose Con?
stitutional amendments, and by con?
triving means to prevent Mr. Stanton
from resuming his office of Secre?
tary, and also to prevent tho execu?
tion of the Reconstruction Acts in
the robel States."
This article charges the President
with "a high misdemeanor." As tho
others charge upon him crimes, we
ore inclined to think that the matter
is Bottled for tho President.
Thc South Cu.roLin? "Constitution.'
The New York World is engaged in
the grand work of exposing the enor?
mities of this instrument. Speaking
of tho powers conferred upon the
General Assembly, it says: "These
are powers, even the old slaveholding
Assembly, monarchical, a3 they called
it, never preton?od to exercis;e and
we could wish its piebald successor
that has thom, were something less
than one fifth field hand in thc Senate,
and one-third field hand in the House,
with the. residue fraction made up of\
spiteful, i'jnorunt and greedy whites."
It calls the Constitution of our State I
"tho Elack Crook Constitution." Wei
thank yon, friend, for this word.
Habit is very powerful, and in
nothing is it moro powerful than in
politics. The Anti-Slavery Socioty
goes ou holding its annual meetings,
passing its rosolutions, uttering ita |
protests against the sin of slavery,
and denouncing the American Go?
vernment, President, Congress and]
Supremo Court, for its participation
in the sin, and reproaching the Ame?
rican Church for tolerating the evil,
in apparent ignorance of the fact|
that slavery has ceased to exist on
American soil. The resolutions pass?
ed on tho 13th, the New York Times
says, are almost echoes of those pass?
ed twenty years ago.

Sorgeant Bates has been asked to J
undertake a trip through New Eng?
land, which, however, he promptly j
declined, on grounds of boing ex- '
tremely hazardous to life and pro?
perty. The proposition is, that the
Sergeant shall undertake a trip
through all the New England Statos,
(except Connecticut,) carrying the I
flag, and to start on the journey
without money, and in all other re?
spects tho Bn?no r.z hz did in his 1?U
tour through the South. Tho sol?
dier gives tho following reasons why
such nu undertaking would bo a great
risk: First-To undertake a journey
through tho New England Statos
without money is equivalent to starv?
ation. Second-To travel through
that region with money, he ran a
great ri.sk of being robbed on the
way.
As an ovidenco of tho declino of
American shipping, Consul Morse,
at London, reports to tho State De?
partment that, whilst in 18G1;there
wero 203 arrivals of American vessels
in London, in 18GG, the number had
declined to forty-nine.

Mn. EDITOR: We extract the fol?
lowing item from the Mercury:
"Fornsy, ?poukiug iii ihe Press oi
the interview of the South Carolina
Democratic Committee with the Com?
mittee of Reconstruction, says:
"'The despatch sent on Friday
evening by the Associated Press,
gives a resume of the arguments of
their spokesman, Col. Thomas, bot
omits to say that he was a good deni
nonplussed by some of the questions
addressed to him by Mr. Stevens.
These three men were very good rep?
resentatives of those who sent thom,
and of the cause in the interest of
whioh they came. All of them were
original and ultra secessionists, and
were in the rebel service. At the late
election, Gibbes was an unsuccessful
candidate for the State Senate, and
Thomas, also unsuccessful, for that
of Adjutant-GeneraL Both of these
men have, therefore, recognized the
validity of tho Constitution they now
denounce by seeking office under it.' "
As an illustration of the manner in
whioh Col. T. was "nonplussed," we
know that the following incident oc?
curred: Col. Thomas was speaking of
the school funds all going to tho
colored people's benefit, from the fact
that the tastes and sentiments of the
whites wero opposed to mixed sohools;
when Mr. Stevens remarked, iu a j o
oular way, "Why, sir, I heard an old
negro woman near the Capitol on
yesterday, say?that she believed she
would have to send her children to a
while school" At the same time, Mr.
S. looked round to see if his joke was
duly appreciated. To this Col. Tho?
mas at once replied, "Well, Mr. Chair?
man, we acoept the suggestion. We
are here claiming certain rights, and
we suggest that your Committee ex?
tend them to our people, although they
are white."
We have reasons to think that tho
"nonplussing" was on the other side.
With regard to the point of seeking
office, Fornoy, the truthful chronicler,
forgets that tho Democratic party of
the State went into the late election
with a protest against tho validity of
tho new Constitution. G.
The Mercury will please copy.
GEK. GRANT.-The New York He?
rald thus advises Gen. Grant:
"Let him distinctly declare that
the extreme radical principles of uni?
versal negro suffrage and Southern
negro supremacy are not his princi?
ples, and ho will at once bring this
radical cabal at Washington to terms
or scatter it to the winds; and he
will, too, bo immensely strengthened
thereby in the public confidence,
from this great and crowning service
to tho cause of justice, the Constitu?
tion and the Union."
The details of the war in Paraguay
are quite horrible. The number kill?
ed on board the Brazilian squadron
at Hamoita, was unusually large,
and in one instance a large boarding
party wero deluged with hot water
from a monitor. It is worthy of
noto that threo Brazilian iron-clads
(English built) survived forty-two
minutes the combined fire of 180
guns, half of tho time within pistol
shot range.
The sogar planters iu Cuba aro
culling loudly for the re-opening of
the slave trade Owing to the severe
toil of the sugar-making season, and
the insufficient nourishment which
the slaves receive- at all times, tho
present stock of negroes on tho is?
land is fast disappearing. The
Chinese coolies aro not strong enough
to take their places, free white labor?
ers oannot be readily obtained, and,
I therefore, Africa is again looked to,
to supply tho deficiency.
A mooting in aid of African coloni?
zation was hold in Now York, on tho
12th. Speeohes wero made bv Wm.
C. Alexander, James W. Beckman,
Rev. Dr. Hall and others. Mr.
Alexander advocated tho view that,
as tho black population could not
attain social equality in this country,
the best thing they could do, would
bo to avail themselves of the advan?
tages presented by African coloniza?
tion.
Jonathan Green, popularly known
ns tho "reformed gambler," was ar?
rested in Cincinnati, a day or two
since, ou a chargo of ombozzlemont.
It is charged that while acting as
agent for a woalthy lady in Athens,
Ohio, Greon defrauded her out of
about $6,000. On hoing taken into
custody ho was hand-cuffed, and
taken to Athens for examination.
[ The Protestent Kptacopal Church.
Thia Convention hos been for
several days in session. The od*
dress of the Bishop was ?ble and
interesting and evangelical as asnal.
The Bishop presents the spectacle of
a strong spirit in a frail tenement.
Blind and weak and frail, his Chris?
tian excellencies of character shine
forth the moro conspicuously amid
his bodily infirmities. In his spot?
less life, ho illustrates the highest
style of mau, and is tho grace and
ornament of the church. His con?
dition serves but to spiritualize his
life, and like blind Milton, his are
"tho beings of tho mind," which
"Essentially immortal, create within us
A brighter ray and more beloved ort*t
onco."
In his address, the Bishop alludes to
the system of Ritualism. We give an
extract from his address:
1 'The whole condition of tho Church
in tho Diocese demands your calm
and serious attention. Its prostra?
tion is even greater perhaps than it
is understood to be. Let it be-con?
sidered whether some plans may not
be devised ,for increasing its contri?
butions, and supplying with the
means of life its scattered members.
Let us nil, clergy and laity, risc up
to the thorough consideration of this
subject; it is the great spiritual duty
before us. The church is our noblest
and purest inheritance; we must not
let it fall. Times of trial arc times
of grace, brethren; they provo us,
and they make us; suffering demands
faith, and faith looks up and rests on
God. We are in a severe conflict; it
is the church's tost, and her oppor?
tunity. Let us hear the voice of
Christ himself, addressed to one of
the early churches, under like trials
of faith and heart: 'To him that
overcometh will I grant to sit with
mo in my throne, even as I also over?
come, and am set down with my
Father in his throno. '
"I feel, my brethren, that I ought
not to close this address without
somo remarks upon the general state
of the^church and its application to
ourselves. There seems to be au
unusual restlessness of the public
mind both in politics aud religion.
In tho former there is indicated a
dissatisfaction with existing institu?
tions, and strong tendeu rios to De?
mocratic developments. lu the
church, on tho contrary, there seems
to bo an increasing disposition in
favor of risible constitutions, and a
more ornate culture of external ad?
ministration and worship. Extremes
in this direction are producing ex?
tremes in the opposite, aud thus
thero are engendered violent anta?
gonisms unfavorablo to calm thought,
conservativo influence and just con?
clusions. You understand mo as
referring to tho subject sufficiently
indicated under the general designa?
tion of Ritualism. I seek to avoid
everything that may produce exacer?
bations of mind or undue feeling of
any kind, and shall not consider the
subject in reference to any circum?
stances and extreme cases. I believe
that our condition in this Diocese,
thank God, enables us to pass by
these, and be uctuated by quiet,
sobor, and, I trust, holy thought. I
beg your consideration of a few just
principles. The value of the Epis?
copal church to us is not to bo de?
termined by considering it as n
single and separated body, with its
peculiar institutions, but as it really
is-a pure, central and integral
branch of the Church Catholic of
Jesus Christ. As such, it has no
limitation in its applications, but
goes out for its truth and authority
to the primal fountain of divine reve?
lation, aud is capable of universal
expansion. I cannot now undertake
the heights of the great arguments
by which all this eau bo established
in our favor; we are limited to the
Eoiut of Divine worship. It is well
nown that our devotional service is
ritual-wo worship in regularly con?
stituted, recognized aud accepted
forms of prayer. In somo respects
there may be disadvantage iu this,
but the controlling benefits, wo
think, should be obvious to every
.reflecting mind. These are not
merely incidental, as securing an
understood and holy worship, both
for minister und people, and other
immediate ends that might bc men?
tioned-but chiefly in securing to
us a Divine worship, baptized in
the holiest truths of revelation. Wo
may fairly say that our Liturgy,
taken throughout, is not only a
prayer, but a doctrine; tho distin?
guishable and perfect truths of re?
demption and eternal life are incorpo?
rated with the wholo, find rrror.ght
m with especial beauty, and tho
purest proportions of faith. Thus
tho glorious revelations of our salva?
tion by Christ minglo themselves
with the heart's purest aspirations;
and the groat end of prayer is attain?
ed in producing union with God.
In tho highest and holiest manner
we aro hereby mado not Christians
only, but theologians, unconsciously
to ourselves and without any formal
action of tho understanding, Divine
truth intorwoaves itself with thc
heart's sensibilities, and light purifies
feoliug. I sincerely behove that this
is tho grand truth of our public
worship; wo herein not only pray to
God, but aro taught how to pray
to-tin whom-and by whom; all the
means and proportions of access to
the throne of God are observed, and
the soul stands erect in her con
scions sense of holy union, with the
Father of Spirits, through the re?
demption that is in His Son Jesus
Christ. Now the just efficacy of
prayer lies in theso truths, and its
application to ns, in the strength of
faith and unobstructed purity of
spirit, with whioh we enter into this
sacred worship. We must have di?
rectness of mind and absorbing
influence of feeling in this great work
of the soul's access to God. What?
ever clouds the vision of faith, what?
ever disturbs purity of heart, what?
ever misdirects the attention of the
worshipper, impairs the effect of holy
devotion. Nothing that gratifies the
taste or captivates the imagination
nothing that is merely external or
sensuous, however pleasing it may
be, can repay the soul for the loss of
its direct access to the throne of
God, and the sources of life and
strength. I bolieve that the system
called Ritualism docs this, and under
the profound conviction of this
truth, I stand forth as the inflexible
advocate of simplicity of worship,
in. the uame of our Lord Jesus
Christ, aud submit to your godly
judgments the principles I have ex?
pressed."
