LQTOON, May 18.-The oo turnen te oo^^Wttal of the Times, says the eloVwRP^rticJo is almost too vague for any substantial charge, but the vote upon it corrects the fear of any Early bias, and shows the ease to ave been judged on its merits alone. The Morning Teiegrayh says dignity and decorum have marked the whole trial, and the non-removal of the President is ' the most fitting close. Even the most ultra radicals will be compelled to admit this at no distant day. The Stan dard says the radical plot has been beaten, and tho coun? try has been saved the shame of de? posing its Chief Magistrate for refus? ing to obey an illegal act of Congress. newt Item?.

A doubtful rumor, that Grant has written u letter declining the Repub? lican nomination unless the platform conforms to his views, creates some excitement. WASHINGTON, May 18.-It is stated that Cabinet changes are pending, and it is asserted tho new Cabinet will tend to harmonize Congress and the President, and that the President will cease obstructing Reconstruction on tho Congrossional plan, tho pro? gress of events having rendered his own impossible now, and the mate? rial interests of tho South requiring immediate representation^ of some kind.. This statement is made on high Republican authority. WASHINGTON, May 18.-In the House, under the regular call, a bill to construe and prevent frauds in law regarding abandoned lands, in the Southern States, was introduced. A joint resolution, amending the Con? stitution, making naturalized citizens eligible to tho Presidency, was intro duocd. A preamble and resolution was introduced, authorizing the Speaker to add two from thoso who voted against impeachment to the managers, to bo present and assist iu tho investigations; rejected. Ste? vens offered a resolution, calling for the eecreS proceedings of the im? peachment court, and said no one could doubt that them was deep damnation somewhere, and ho want? ed to find out who was guilty. An? swering the question whether Se? nators would havo been justified in committing perjury, Stevens said, "Well, sir, I don't think it would have hurt them much." The resolu? tion was passed, and, after refusing to concur with tho Senate for a re? cess, adjourned to to-morrow. ^u the Senate, tho Virginia Con ..?.^tion was reforrcd to the Judicia? ry ^Sfcultmttce. The recess resolution iwfle reculled from the House, and passed. Adjourned to Thursday. Tho city charter expired to-day, tho President not having signed the extension. Stevens' resolution, ask? ing for the official proceedings, caused a bitter debate in tho Senate.

A. CARRINGTON . . A copy of the following corres? pondence having fallen into onr b?nde, we give it for the benefit of onr readers: HIGH POINT, S. C., January 8. To A. & .9. Jack, Esq., Donguc Bill, Sm: Having heard it stated posai tively that you had taken the "iron? clad oath," I took the liberty of expressing a very strong doubt upon the subject, knowing that it would exert a very injurious influence upon your reputation. Will you have the kindness to set me right, with regard to this question, and obligo your obedient serv at, A. HURRY COMBE. DONOTJE HILL. S. C., January 19. To A. Hurry Combe, Esq., High Point, S. C. Sm: Your noto of the 8th, is be? fore me. Allow mo to say that I claim tho right to do as I please, and that I do not acknowledge the right of any one to criticise my course. But as you have asked a question, I shall givo you my answer, in very fow words. I have taken the "iron? clad oath." But I did not tako it without first asking some of my friends whether they thought that I could take it. Moro than this, I wanted au office, and I know that if I did not tako that oath, I could not get oue. "You have my answer. Let my actioDS speak." Your obe? dient servant, A. S. S. JACK. HIOH POINT, S. C., January 20. To A. S. S. Jack, Es'?., Dong us Hill, ?>. C. SIB: I havo the honor to acknow? ledge your note of the 19th, in reply to mine of th 8th instuut. As you do not appear to appreciate tho anxiety which I felt for your reputation ns a fellow-citizen of the proud common? wealth of South Carolina, I am con? strained in self-justification, and at the risk of iucurriug your dis pk ?sure, to call in question the cor? rectness of the views which you have expressed. Ls it true, sir, that yon, in your capacity as a citizen of South Carolina, "have a right to do as you please?" It is a fundamental princi? ple iu society, thnt a man has a right to do as ho pleases with his own, provided, that in so doing, he inj uro no ono else. You havo a perfect right to do as you please with a keg of gun-powder, which you have bought with your own mono}*; but, in exercising your pleasure, you have no right to place that gun-powder near tho dwelling of another, and apply a slow match to it. Yon will be held responsible for the damage consequent npouthe explosion. The State of South Carolina has au ancient reputation, for probity and a high sense of honor. No citizen has a right, by auy act of his, to slain that reputation. Nothing that has occurred within the past three year* has done moro to injure tho cha? racter of our noble old State, even our enemies being judges, than the readiness manifested by some of hei sous, to descend to the most humili ating concessions, not the least ol which is that of taking tho "iron-ciaii oath." Not only has tho reputatioc of the State been made to suffer bj such acts; but her moi ul power hat been greatly diminished by them. Have you a right to blast tho reputa tiou of your State, and to lessen hei moral power in such a crisis as tin present? Though her sons may not be able to remove tho heel of th? oppressor from her neck, let then not, by any act of theirs, sully th? honor of their mother. You seem to bo quite satisfied ai to the propriety of taking the "iron clad oath," because you had takei advice upou the subject. To me sir, it is passing strange, that any om should be obliged to consult witl others, as to his own capacity to taki an oath! In such case, conscience i tho proper and only arbiter. Iusucl caso, "ho that doubteth is damned,' if he take tho oath. Ic should b sufficient for any truly honorabl man, that ho has even the shallow o a doubt as to the propriety of takinj thc oath. Ho assumes a fearful re sponsibility who encourages anothe to take tho oath, when that other i himself doubtful upon tho subject So far from holding out nuj' uncoil ragemeut under such circumstances it is manifestly the duty of ever citizen who has the slightest regar for tho demands of truth, and for th houor of his State, to turu away wit tho frown of honest indignation froi every doubter, who proposes to tak tho oath. He owes it to himself, h owes it to this noble State, to prt serve, as far as ho can, her honor un Hi- 1 ?milleu. If I understand you aright, yo make a virtue of necessity in this mal ter. You want an office. I am ia from denying your right to hold oiric and enjoy its emoluments. But : becomes every citizen to consider, b< foro ho presents himself as a cami: dato for office, whether ho cn honestly comply with the prescribe conditions. Do you intend me to understand that for the sake of getting au office a mau may take thc "iron-clad, though ho perjure himself in s doing? Is this your iuterpretatio and application pf tho old proverl "Necessity hos no law?" Because mau has a wife and childten to sup port, and is at a loss for means t support them, may he permit pe; .i * better, let them starve, and him?ei! die ol ?uirvaiion, than to rot ?Ith ?be poisonous infamy of perjury! The inheritance bequeathed by tho tory of by-gone days to his children is a priceless jewel, in comparison with that which the perjured will bequeath. In coming years, the fin? ger of scorn will be pointed at such: "There goes a man whoso father was in the army of tho Confederate States, and who, for the sake of get* ting office, took the "iron-clad oath 1" In my bumble opinion, there is scarcely a man or a woman in this State, that is a South Carolinian, who can, without perjury, take tho "iron-clad onth." Why, sir, the mi? nisters of tho Gospel among nsonnnot. take it. 1 do not know one, that did not do something to help the Confe? deracy. Perhaps you will say, "it is better thnt our own citizens should hold tho offices than thnt foreigners or negroes should." That mny bo true. But that will not excuso perjury. Rather tbau this, let foreigners have the offices. They will not do as much harm to us as perjured men. They will very soon find their own level. That is low enough ; but it is high in comparison with that to which tho perjured aro doomed to sink. If my memory serves mo aright, your note closes with tho words of that arch conspirator Cutaline. You will ex? cuse me for drawing from tho same source, as I have your endorsement. It occurs to mo that no more appro? priate description of tho givers aud takers of tho "irou-clad" eau be found than is furnished by that noted character, "Vipers that creep where man disdains to climb." Your obe? dient servant, A. KURRY COMBE. A FEMALE WITNESS.-"Facts are stubborn things," said a lawyer to a femalo witness under examination. Tho lady replied: "Yes, sir, and so are women; and if you get anything out of me, just let me know it." "You'll bo committed for contempt." "Very well, I'll suffer justly, for I feel the utmost contempt for every lawyer present." Tho large, cotton mill at Fall River, Mass, owned by the Fall River Man? ufacturing Company, was totally de? stroyed by firo yesterday morning. Tho fire originated, as is supposed, from the spontaneous combustion of oily cotton in the picking room. The loss is estimated at $120,000. In sured for 890,000. A gentlemnu having engaged a brick-layer to make some repairs iu his cellar, ordered the ule to be re? moved before the brick-layer com? menced his work. "Oh, I'm not afraid of a barrel of ale," said tho brick-layer. "I presumo not," said | tho gentleman, "but I think a barrel of nie would run at your approach." In one of the lower Counties of the State of Georgia, whero tho radicals | have their ticket by a large majority, the wholo amount of taxes paid by them was just ono dollar and eighty- I four cents. j DEMOCRATIC CLUB.-lu accordance . with a resolution passed at a previous meeting, the residents of Ward No. 6 are invited to organize a Demo? cratic Club. TThe meeti ig will be held at the Washington engine house to-night.-Charleston News. A terrino storm visited the upper portion and Wild Cat region of Lan? caster District, one day last weok.

Th? currency ei .tbs United SUiea i? denominated decimal currency, the dollar (represented thoa $) being the nnit; and on this bael* arl cahra ia tums are made. One dollar consists of 100 cents, and each cont of 10 milla, and may be written either $1 or $1.00. or $1.00.0, though this latter form is somewhat unusual. Ho, again, "one hundred dollars" ia written $100, or $100.00, as may be preferred; but where tho two ciphers are added, aa in the latter case, they must be prefixed by the deci? mal point. The use of this will be obvious in the following illustration-say, one hun? dred dollars and twentw-?vo couts, which is written $100.25, and so on, for any amount. Tho dollar formerly in uso was tho Spa? nish dollar, (in silver,) tho valne of which was 4B. Gd. sterling. This was taken and has since hoon and still is used aa the hasis of exchange; and to this causo may ho attributed most cr much ui the mis? conception as to American exchange. If $1 be worth 4s. Gd., what is tho value in dollars of ?1, or 20s.? 4s. Gd.-4tV shillings. 20 40 Then - - 4.44.4, or 4 IIOIB. ll cents, 4J 9 and 4-10 of a cont, or 4 milla. Now, supposing tho standard of Ameri? can currency to bo still tho .Spanish dol? lar, it is clear that $4.44.4 would represen! nt ?tar tho value of ?1 storling. But thal standard has heen changed-first, by a United States silver coinago, and then bj a gold one; to that now toe par value ? ?hont Di per cent, ahovo $4.44.4, or $1.8( per ?. Hence, whon exchange is quoted say 100} to 110 in New York, it is aboul par-i.e., it is just au profitable to buj exchange at that prico for a remittance ai it is to send gold. If tho prico bo 111 to 112, it would paj expenses, and 1 per cent, to 2 per cent, ii addition, to pond gold; but if below 109* there would ho Iocs in shipping gold. All exchange, is calculated upon a gol? basis, but at the present timo tho usua business of tho United States is transact ed in currency. This has to bo taken int? account in Bottling any price quoted froc there, or scuding remittances for paj inents; and this is dono in tho followinj manner-for inntancc: What is ?100 worth in currency, will exchange, say, at 101)1, and gold at 40 pe cent, premium? ?1-444.44. Therefore, ?100-444.44. And 414.44 at 109}-$48G.G5 in gold. Which, at 40 per ce'nt. premium -$G31.8 in currency. Tho samo process gives tho true rcsull let the rate of exchango and premium o gold vary as they may. And, vice versr to find the value of a given amount of eui rency in sterling: A in New York wishes to pay B in Lor don tho value of $8,000 currency iu stei ling. Gold is 13G, and exchange 10S}.
