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.

WASHTNOTEN, May 17.-The reso?
lution passed by the House, setting
tho impeachment managers to work
again, had the following proamble:
"Whereas, information has come
to the managers, which seems to
thom to furnish probable cause to be
heve that improper or corrupt influ?
ences hnvo been used to influence tho
determination of the Senate upon the
articles of impeachment exhibited to
the Senate by tho House of Ropre
sentatives against tho President of
the United States," etc.
Salutes in honor of tho acquittal
have been fired in several of the
Northern cities.
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.

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 FEMALE WITNESS.-"Facts are

Tho lady replied: "Yes, sir, and so

"Very well, I'll suffer justly, for I
feel the utmost contempt for every
lawyer present."

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}. Ho
many pounds, eliilliugs and pence must h
send him?
$4.44.4 at IOS.} givos, say, $4.82.2 in gold.
Which at 30 prom.-?G.558 per ? sterling
I3.G00
Therefore,-?1,311 7a. Cd., arno
$G.558
to bo remitted. And bo again:
What is tho value in sterling of $1,000 i
United States 5-20 bonds, wheu quoted i
111A in New York, with gold at 134 an
exchango108?
Prico of bonds-lil J, i. e., HA premium
Then $1,000 at HA preminm-$1,115.
$4.444 at 108-a?y, $4.S0 in gold.
