Th, Coming Battle.
The city ie lively with the rumors of
the intended impeachment and trial of
State Treasurer Cardoso. These have
' 'prevailed to some extent for the last
>w* weeks, bat have now assumed
" more serious shape, and in a day or
two we shall know more definitely,
when a joint committee appointed to J
investigate the funding and other ope?
rations of the treasury have made a re
m\ poA. An attiole in the Union-Berald,
of yesterday, takes the view of tho
-'. coming battle, that it ia one between
the Republican Oorr option is tp, on the
one hand, with tho genuine Republi?
can Reformers, on the other; that the
former, despairing of making any im
pEjpwiu? direotly agsjnst the Governor,
seek to strike at him through an
attack upon the Treasurer, who nomi
^ nated him lathe oouvontion. We know
' enough of the matter to believe that
.. .this ia not a perfeotly fair statement of
1 the aase as it stands, and would have
preferred, a candid discussion of the
real difficulties which surround it, to
this attempt to strengthen the Trea
..." surer by associating him with the Gu
verpor, end making a political and
\.$\ party question out of a purely financial
one. We shall do no more at present
than to make this mild protest, and
bold our mind open to the reception
of the facts, whatever they are, and to
e fair, unpartiaau ? S)hd unbiased con?
sideration of tbam. We will add only
a word. The censures and insinua?
tions thrown oat in the article to which
we allude against the "Democrats," us
men who are anxiously watching and
plotting for tho overthrow of Re
' publican esoendanoy in this State,
and who will be likely to avail
themselves of this opportunity to
endeavor to accomplish it, are
as undeserved as they are futile
to pTo?uoe the intended effect. In its
own language, it is "too thin" to et
te*pt to palm off as real currency
snob false counters as "secession,
1 slavery end caste/' iu anoh sn issue ae
the one now abeut to be presented.
. T^?aXT.ajEKATK.? The new Sonate
will meet on the 5th of March, in spe?
cial aeasion, by virtue of a proclama?
tion from the President. The Repub
lioane are much alarmed in regard to
its control. There are twenty-eight
Democrats in a total of ssventy-three,
not including the Louisiana vaoanoy.
1 But this nominal Radical majority in
?- clad es several who cannot be 'oounted,
on for the revolutionary Radical pro?
gramme. The Republicans are, how?
ever, endeavoring to get in two rotten
borough States?Colorado and New
MsxJoo-^by which they hope to get
. i four Badioal Senators. Both these
Territories together, eonnting Indians,
negroes, carpet-baggers, and natives of
all crosses, have not the population of
? Congressional District, and it ia not
probable that in the next half century
the revenue derived from both States
would be sufficient to pay the salary,
mileage, pickings and stealings of one
Senator. Colorado can support only
a sparse population East of the Rooky
Mountains, end in what is known as
th* "Parks," West and South-west of
Denver; while New Mexico is still less
inviting to emigration, having only a
fewoaaea scattered amid its voloanio
desert. The executive session of the
Senate, celled for the 5th of Maroh,
? though ostensibly for the confirmation
of Federal appointments and the con
elderation of the Hawaiian treaty, is
really to test the party fealty of the
new Senators. A considerable nnmber
. of then are new men, some of them
; , elgflfcd. by DemeeraUo support, and it
WMmimm ^or the President to
lU?W ?OW fer as can rely on them to
support him, in the event that the
force blU is not prssed, end the Lou
Sitpi tni ArbMM troubles ere
earned orer to;-him for settlement.
The President already feels that he
. jsJUl soon tread on uncertain ground,
i { t'e^.?etiposeibly there might be dsn
gat !a these Independent* and Iode
it Republicans.

, Pbiloeophioellyressoning ixom thn,
paat, -we ca?not keep from thinking
that the present condition of the ?t?te
of affairs in this donntry is thfJinerita?
ble obnaeqashoes of the risinsjoodfiiot
betwean the sentiments whiod Onris
tianity has spread abroad and the
rights which the modern era reoognizee
in the lower olaases on the pne side,
and tbe eoonomio oondition of theee
classes on the ether. The Gospel
aboands in ideas of equality. It
brings good tidings to the poor; it
promises them the reign of joetioe; it
condemns tbe rich. St. Paul declares
. that be who does not work should not
I eat. All this is no more than ideal,
we admit; but it is an ideal which can?
not but inflame tbosa who have an in?
terest in thinking it capable of realiza?
tion. Modern constitutions bare all
tended to tbe recognition of all men as
equals, and aooorded to all the right of
participating equally in tbe nomina?
tions of those who make the laws.
Now what is the lot of the majority ?
Evidently it is not what they consider
as the ordinary interests .of humanity,
or as what it should be, (although they
are and may be in possession of all
rights;) but they avow and contend
that, in the interests of justice and the
common weal, their share, tbe share of
those wbo furnish the labor, ought to
be greater than it is. This is what
mekes the workman and laborer seek,
in evory way, for some means of in?
creasing wages, snd prompts him to
strikes and to oall for the intervention
of tho law to seoure that end. Unhap?
pily, no system has been discovered
whinh can satisfy these aspirations;
and if suoh a system wore in existence
in theory, it oould not come at onoo
into practice, because there can be no
eoonomio transformation whi?h does
not operate most slowly.
Uno of tbe resultant effects of all re?
publics has been and is thst it szcites
the hopes of the lower classes. A re?
public appears to them as u promised
land, where milk aud honey are to flow
for tbe whole world, and where the la?
borer's oondition must reocivo ame?
lioration, neoeesarily and promptly.
The people, they argue, is tbe true
sovereign. How should tbe sovereign,
they say, be reduced or compelled to
suffer privations? Is it not the peo?
ple, they shout, who appoint the law
makers, and so themselves cause the
laws to be made? Why, then, should
they not impose laws detarruiniog a
more equitable distribution of the
fruits of toil?
anAKH?aajiB.?There has been much
said of late, as to who wrote Bbak
Speere. We were let into the secret
just as to how and who did tbe thing,
on condition tbat we say nothing about
it, and, of course, what we say is con?
fidential, you know. Our informant
received his information from one who
was present, and whiob is substantially
as follows:
Hamlet overheard Julias Caesar tell
King Lear, on the Twelfth Night after
the Tempest, that Anthony and Cleo?
patra had told Ooriolanus that Two
Gentlemen of Verona were the authors
of Sbakepeare's plays. Lear said:
"Yon may take it As You Like It, but
I den't believe it; for I heard Romeo
and Juliet say Love's Labor was Lost
when Troilus snd GreBsida stole tbe
Comedy of Errors and sold it . to tho
Merchant of Venice for forty bottles
of old Bourbon and a package of poker
oheoks. Timon of Athens and Cymbe
line were parties to the theft; and,
after drinking Measure for Measure
with the Merry Wivee of Windsor,
told King John alt about it." Richard
III, (a competent critio,) said Bacon
oould not write even a Winter's Tale,
and Henry VII says tbat settles it. So,
why make so Much Ado About No?
thing? Othello was busy dealing a
five oect game of faro to the IV, V
and VI Henrys; and the only remark
made by them was an occasional
"Pr indie, don't torn! hold on I" and a
few other foroible remarks of a cur?
sory nature; and, as Riobard III was
absent, Taming the Shrew, I could
get no further evidence as to who
wrote Sbakspearo. But All's Well
That Ends Wall. Don't it?
During the recent appearance of
Ooggia'B comet, Mr. Norman Lookyer,
the English astronomer, made some
valuable scientific discoveries. Every
night while tbat comet Was visible he
was on bis watch tower, using the
most powerful telescope in England;
he mapped its march and photographed
its every pbase; he resolved its fan
shaped nuoleos ioto millions of shoot?
ing meteors, and he experimented on
tbe Urge number of meteorites in tbe
British Museum?meteorites tbat have
fallen in every part of Europe-? and
found tbat when heated np to a cer?
tain point tbeir speotroeoopio signs
were exactly those of the oomet. Mr.
Lookyer is coming to this country
shortly, to confer with our scientific
men, whom he bss aooredited with tbe
greatest achievements in tbs recent
observations of the transit of Venus.
A writer in lbs New York Evening
Mail says that Valmaaeda, wbo has
been recently appointed Governor
General of Oabu, in well known to be
as lioeOtlons as be is oroel. He 'is no
respecter of persona, nor of social
standing, where women a ro concerned,
but ihshite all alike, according to his
fancy, when he thiako that he may do
so with impunity. Series in this con?
nection, adds the writer, might be un?
folded, whiob would' certainly enrage
Americans as muob as they do Gabens;
bnt it la enough to say, that 4b ese Ut?

Passing of Sentence of Death
upon Jks.sk Pomeroy, the Doy-fibhd,
of Boston.?The rnro speotacle of
pronouncing the death sentence npon
u juvenile murderer, was witnessed in !
the Supreme Court in Boston, on Su- i
torduy afternoou. The unfortunate
offender was Jesse Pomeroy, the boy-1
fisud, who was recently oonvioted of
the murder of a little boy named Mil?
len, nod who has also coufessed to the
murdering of and the ornelly butcher?
ing of a little girl named Katie Cumin.
Ho is also the same youthful Good who
tortured so mauy children in tho
suburbs of Boston, a year or two since.
Mr. Train moved that the sentence the
law provided bo imposed upou the
prisoner. By direction of the Court,
the Clerk asked the prisoner if be had
anything to say why sentence of death
should not be pronounced against bim,
to which ho replied, distinctly, that he
had not. The person in the court?
room who seemed to appreciate the so?
lemnity of the occasion the least, was
the doomed boy himself. He pre?
served that calm, stolid and indifferent
manner which characterized his ap?
pearance during tho trial?not moving
a muscle or seeming to care for the
fate wbioh awaited bim. After the
sentence he was removed to the jail,
where he will remain until tho warrant
of Governor Gaston is issued. Efforts
for a pardon will probably bo made,
but it is doubtful if it will be granted.
The United 8tatbs Senate.?The
election ef Jndgo MoMillan, in Minne?
sota, on Friday last, closed the pro?
gramme of United States Senatorial
elections, which have made tho wiuter
so interesting in a political point of
view. The complexion of tho incom?
ing Senate, as now iudioated, shows
that the straight-out Radioals may he
figured down to 8G, the Democrats 28,
and tho independent or coalition Re?
publicans 9. As most of the latter
Republicans will probably go into cau?
cus with tho regulars, the Republicans
will, of course, continue to hold a ma?
jority on matters of routine, und such
I political questions as do not involve
extreme measures. Should the uses of
this majority be abused, however,
there is no question that the elections
which are to bo made to the Senate
next year, will give the finishing blow
to that peculiar character of Radical?
ism in Congress wbioh is so disquiet?
ing and dangerous to the oountry.
In view of the raging railroad war,
it may be of interest to state that the
Pennsylvania Central has a well
watered oapital stock of about $115,
000,000, whioh commands less than
forty uents in the market. That of
the Baltimore and Ohio amounts to
only 826,000,000, but every oent of it
represents actual value still on baud;
there is no dividend stock nor funded
interest included in it, bunco it sells
ubove par. Besides this, tho Balti?
more and Ohio is the luoky possessor
of some 816,000,000 surplus, whioh
gives it tremendous reserve power in a
prolonged straggle. At market prices,
the 8115,000,000 capital of Tom Boott
is worth just about the same as Gar
rett's 826.000,000, with his surplus
sdded. The Titans are about of a
size, bat the Baltimore champion is in
better fighting trim.
From 1871 to 1873, Germany took
from France 847.000,000 francs in
gold, a eum exceeding by ?180,001) nil
the gold Imported into Europe during
that period from Australia, Mexico end
California. With this gold Bismarck
established the new German ooiuage,
with its new gold piece, the mark,
worth twenty-five francs, or an English
sovereign. The same gold is coming
back to France in the abape of ingots,
whioh are converted into twenty franc
piece*, and the joy of the Frenoh press
is greet. It is rather curious that
Germany oonatantly owes France for
Soode received, and tbet ehe must pay
er in the very gold which France
sent to Germany when paving tbe in?
demnity._

Keeping Lbnt.?This quaint Lenten
poem* written by Robert Herrlok more
than 300 years ago, points amorsi as
Tamable now as It wss theo: I
Is this a fast to keep - i j
The larder leans,
And oleane J
From fat of veale and sheep?
Is it to qoit the dish
Of flesh, yet still
To fill
The platter high with fish?
Is it to fast an hoore,
Or ragged to go.
Or show
A downcast look nnd sonre?
No; 'tis a fast to dole
Thy sheet of wheat
And meat
Uuto the hungry eoule.
It in to fast from strife,
From all debate,
And hate;
To ciroamoise tby lifo.
To show a heart grief-reut,
To starve tby sin,
! Not bin;
And that's to keep thy Lent.
Some men who were sinking a well
at Portland, Dakota, the other day,
came npon a big open space, about
I thirty feet down, aud when the drill

for about a half mile around the well,
aud tho air and earth being very warm,
wolves and other wild animals congro

to the people of that oountry, aud no
explanation of the strange phenomoua

Vioo-Preeident Wilson it getting
along tolerably well with his laborious
effusion, "History of tho Ris? and
Fall of the Slave Power iu tho United
States." Ho has just concluded the
first half the third volume. It is re?
ported that he will get through with
three volumes, but some of his Radical
friends want him to wait awhile nnd
see if that "rebel yell" will not re?
establish slavery and compel him to
spin his dreary tslu through five or six
volumes. He proposes to treat largely
j of tho Civil Rights Bill in the tbird
volume.
Sartoris (President Grant's English
> 8on-in-htw) created quite a sensation
at tho Washington gymnasium, a few
'days ago, by gutting the best of a set
j to with the "professor" of spsrring at
thut institution, a burly ex-pugilist
I known as "Charley Collius," tho
I "Oast-irou Mau." Tba chagrined pro
I fessor appointed another meeting, at
I which be fared no better, and the
I athletic Englishman is indisputably
the lion of the day among tbe musou
lar young gentlemen of the various
foreign legations who frequent the
gymnasium.
When we consider tbe prevalenoo of
the custom to dub everybody who
wont to tho wars with tbe title of Cap?
tain, Colonel, General, &o., there is a
peculiar appropriateness iu the follow?
ing resolution, whioh was introduced
at a meeting of Confederate soldiers
at Atlanta, Ga., the other day: Jits

committee of one to inquire iuto the
matter of whether there were any sur?

It is said that there are in existence
tbres imperial loans contracted by the
Empress, tho total of whioh is 32,500.
000 francs, or;86,500,000. These bear
no interest and are only payable upon
the restoration of the Empire; and
then are to bo paid ten times their
face, that is to say, 325,000,000 francs,
or 865,000,000.

|The Maas Tboups.?This company
will perform at the Opera House this
and Thursday evenings. The Atlanta
Herald says in reference to the troupe:
'Ye gods, but bow James A. Maas
made the Atlanta folks laugh last
night, at DeGive's, and bow his
charming and lovely wife stole their
hearts. Take him all in all, Maas is
the best negro delineator that ever
performed in Atlanta, and that is say?
ing muob. There is a freshness, an
originality, a fan and a easeedness
about him that beats anything we
j ever saw, and split the house with an
unceasing rush of laughter. And Mrs.
Maas! Hew shall we part with her?^
As handsome as a picture, with an.in-?
toxioating vivacity and a perennial
I sparkle of music and bumor, she made
j as many conquests as was ever won by
single diviuity. Her talent for ca?
ricaturing on paper is wonderful. Tbe
! troupe is a splendid one, and we com?
mend it everywhere unreservedly."
