on ail sides, when partisan prejudice
docs not obscure judgment, aii ac
knowledge, has f-hown that "tho wise
and philosi.phic purpose of the trainers
of the constitution was to keep the
several great departments of the gov
ernment as distinct and separate from
each other as possible, to the cud that i
t.eit her should invade the functions of;
the other or usurp the powers of that
other in order to strengthen itself, und
erect a centralized despotism on the
foundations of the republic." The his
tory of tho formation of the govern
ment amply sustains these views.
Other gentlemen of the legal profes
sion on this side of the Chamber,
among tho ablest of the House, have
shown bow utterly destitute of a de-
cent semblance of legal support is this
legislative assault 1 was about to miv
conspiracy, but that mijht imt bo par
liamentary, ami I therefore term it
assault upon a constitutionally co-ordinate
branch of tho government.
With theso arguments upon the legal
aspect of this question tor, as excep
tional eases in the debate so far, they
do inde?'1 rise to tho dignity ot argu
ment I feel that tlie conservatives
may safely go before the people, our
masters, and, gentlemen of tlie radical
party, your masters as well.
Rut, in addition to the impregnable
positions taken by able members of the
legal profession, we have the unerring,
sober second thought of the people
upon which to rely for a righteous
judgment upon what you are doing
here this day. Hope not to escape
that judgment. Clothe tho pretended
offense ot the President in what garb
of language you may ; envelop it if you
will in clouds of pompous and stilted
lexicographical mystification, still will
it not escape the discernment of the
people. As littlo wiil lio popular
judgment fail to perceive the motive
that prompts this prosecution in form,
this persecution in fact.
Feeling that, in common with "all
the people of tho United States," in
whose name the perpetration of this
great political crime is audaciously
and most tin warratttably to be urged,
we must beur our sftfre of the national
shame which even the attempt without
the consummation must bring; and, in
common 'with all mankind, our portion
ot tlie incalculable injury to repuniicair
institutions that r..ist be involved in
this measure, if, in God's wrath
against this nation, it should become
more than an attempt, the little band
of Democratic licprescntatives with
which it is mv pride to -be numbered
and associated ou this floor have op -
pose.l thi.s utirifriitt'ous Movement Aep
iy step. tJul-numhereil, our rights as
a minority trampled upon, every har
rier established in the rules; of the
House by our predecessors for our pro
tection swept away at the behest of
party impatience or party convenience,
we cannot prevent, and under the rc
ef nl'vi emasculated rules of the House
we cai. no longer even post pone, this
wrontj. It is destined to prevail solar
as this House is concerned.
Tlie best interests of the country
must undoubtedly sutler by an afiirma
tive vote on the ip.iestron I.elore us.
But within an hour this House will
pass, the articles of impeachment.
Commerce, manufactures all the inter
ests of labor, mechanical and aricul

Article 1. 1 he President of the Uni
ted States has attempted to remove
Kdwin .M. Stanton from the office of
Secretary of War.
Article-. He has appointed "one
Lorenzo Thomas" to act as Secretary
of War a. interim.
The lorcgoing two articles would
seem to ordinary intellects to embrace
the whole matter, but your committee
require you to further represent, in
Article S. That the President did ap
point " one Lorenzo 'Thomas" Secreta
ry of War al interim..
Article 4. Tho President attempted
to oust Stanton.
Article o. Tho President, on the 21st
of February, 180?, agreed with " one
Lorenzo Thomas" to attempt to oust
Stanton.
Article 0. The President did on the
same day twice agree with " one Loren
zo Thomas" or once with each of "two
Lorenzo Thomases" to attempt the
same thing.
Article 7. The President did agree
with "one Lorenzo Thotrias" to prevent
Stanton from holding the office of Sec
retary of War.
After proceeding thus far, the Senate
will bo pretty well prepared to learn,
as they will bv

agree with " one Lorezo Thomas" to

" Tell the Senate further that the Presi-
I dent has audaciously ventured to cx-
1 press an opinion as to the coustitu-
tionality of a certain provision in an
act of (,'onress.
Be sure to label oath parcel distinct
ly, as 'you deliver if, 'diii;li crime," or
'hih misdemeanor," or '-high crime
and misdemeanor," as the case may be,
lest the Senate might not perceive the
character or quality of the articles so
delivered, and might fall carelessly into
the trror of supposing that the numer
ous i ileuses alleged, or the one oilense
aiicgi.'.l numerously, were alter all not
very "high."
Te.l the Senate, in conclusion, that
in pit-seating tne-e ten articles you do
not ly any means estop yourselves
from the presentation of other accusa
tions. Say to the Senate that you will

Abraham Lincoln and JeiTorson Davis.
Lincoln and Pavis were the chief
tains of contending principles and
communities. The first was the head
of the Federaiistie element, tlie other
of State Sovereign I eniocracy. By the
power cd' numbers, the one triumphed
and the oilier fell, so far as principles
may be said to fail by tho defeat of
armies. The one was an unsettled,
shifting, vulgar, rollicking man the
other serious, grave, dignilied, and de
termined. Ineonewas a pleuia i by
nature the other a nobleman. As be
tween thc-.-o contestants as men, the
rise and fall of armies have done little
less than to bring them out into strong
er contrast. The triumphant party is
now detid he fills the grave ot' an un
wept tyrant, and will be execrated the
more as the wheels of time roll on,
fanning tho chaff from the wheat.
Lincoln cared nothing for tho triumph
ot principle he was satisfied with the
din and clash of the hour. And so, at
the sacrifice of principle and tho na
tion's honor in a hundred ways, ho tri
umphed over his opponent. What are
the results secured hy that bloody tri
umph ? What questions are settled ?
Tint States are further from union now
than ever the people are bound under
a monstrous lad of oppressions and
tyrannies, and are at last, and not un
expectedly, cursing the being whose
triumph was their ruin ! How stands
his opponent? Bowed with the sor
rows of his people, he may still stand
erect over tho grave of his dead fee,
and exclaim, "Shako not your 'gory
locks at me ;" "Thou did'st. it !" Had
Jefferson llavis sacrificed those princi
ples upon which his people went info
tiio struggle, tho arrogant. North, and
not the South, would be tho stricken
land. Had Jefferson Pavis departed
from his determined "defensive war
fare," had he enlisted the slaves of the
South in Irs armies under the flag of
emancipation in t'ill, the North would
have been a smoking slaughterpen '.
Hut the banner of his people had been
thrown to the breeze, and under its
waving folds he. and his people fell to
gether in a Spartan embrace? His
tory will yet vindicate tho truth, and
Jefferson Davis, tho statesman, schol
ar, hero, will outlive a hundred Lin
coln's on those pages of his country's
histor-, where arc enrolled tho names
of the peerless and true, the noble and
self-sacrificing '. Sentinel-on-thr Border.
St. Louis & St. Joseph railroad. Our
advices from Buchannan are that that
county will vote their ?100,000 sub
scription with ease. The people there
are determined to build up St. Joeph
and make it the great city on the Mis
souri river. Leavenworth and Kansas
City are giant efforts for the champi
onship. The surveyors will bo in the
field shortly to permanently locate the

The Tell-Ttile Picture.

matters of portrait painting was their that time that he found himself alone

not the mere everyday face of their than the portrait; while the beloved
subject, as it might be known to his original was far a way onier jovrrney
most casual acquaintances, put his in-
)K I'
I t":. Thev been.ed, at times, to
have painted the soul rather than the
bouy. "Vibat a p tv, l answered,
tnat we hue no living masters to I
whom such powers has been given !"
'T am not sure of that," said he: "at
I ail events 1 know ot one at least, who
j is now living, in whom this faculty was
j developed in a vcrv high degree '."
"Who was he? W here could ho be
found? 1 will be bail that he has sent
nothing to tho Academy of I-tesign
since my day."
'He does not paint any more. At
least he will paint no more portraits ;
but 1 believe there are few of his friends
beside myself who know the reason
why. If you have time, and will light
another Havana, you may find tho sto
ry worth healing, though, of course, I
must use names of my own invention."
Anything with a touch of romantic
mystery about it had always a charm
for me, and so I prepared to hear the
story. The old artist was a very good
ruconti'nr, and, after a few preliminary
whiffs, he began :
'Paul Mayuard was, in the eyes of
all who knew him, ono of tho favor
ites of the Fates; he was young, rich,
handsome, and a genius, lie loved his
art lor his art's sake, ami was rapidly
winning a most enviable reputation.
'It is the custom, in spite of Titain
and Vandyke, and tho rest, to look
down upon portrait painting as ono of j
the
lower waiKS ot art, cut l aui ina i
share the notion. Portrait paint-
not
nig was tin forte, anil some oi ins pic- i
tures were truly wonderful. There .
were not many faces that he cared to
. - , . , - . I
nain and for most people ho would
not paint at. all ; but tho most 'sphinx-
like' faces, if that's a fair expression,
came out upon his canvas interpreted,
Nor were all his interpretations fiat-j
tenng by any moans, .onie people
made haste to burn their likenesses as
soon as possible after obtaining pos
session. "lie himself did not attempt to ex
plain his po wer, but I used to think
that
t he-
was something uncanny
ahout his dee) gray eyes iiilo lie was
at work, and he disliked spectators ex
ceedingly. 'it was a matter of course that sneh
a man should fall in love, and he did
full justice to his artist perception of
the beautiful in making choice of Ca
milla Vraine. Such a face she had!
perfectly classical, ami w ith just enough
of C' dor, flushing at times through its
marble paleness to keep you from be
ing reminded of the cold beauty of
some old Creek statue. In the veiy
arrangement of her dark hair she
seemed, whether consciously or not, to
follow tho antique. Her eyes were
large, dark and lustrous, with an un
readable something in them that fasci
nated you even more than the extreme
sweetness of their everyday expression.
Everybody envied Paul his success, fur
it soon became plain that his love was
passi in at el y returned.
Paul was
m-
deed the favorite cd" the Fates
"Camilla was only seventeen, and old
Vraine, though pleased with the match
exercised his parental authority gently
but firmly, and postponed the wedding
for a year, during which time ho pro
posed to mako.a trip to Eurpopo with
his daughter.
"'When thev returned, if both were
of the same mind' (yon know w hat
prudent fathers are apt to sav ;") and
the young lovers, after somo chatTing
ami a good many vows of constancy,
dutifully submitted. A year was an
ago to look forward to, but it would
soon pass away. After all, what was
ono year to a lovo like theirs ?
"Much as Paul admired the won
drous beauty of his betrothed, he had
never essayed to portray it. Not but
lie had of ten thought of doing so, but
whenever ho had half determined to
put bis thought in practice an umlo
tinable something kept him back.
Something akin to superstition seemed
to be a necessary part of such a nature
as Paul's, and in him it was somewhat
stronger than usual.
"Now, however, that Camilla was
going away ; now that he could no
longer daily feast his eyes upon the
lovely original, he so far overcame his
unreasonable reluctance as to ask her
to sit to him for a likeness.
' 'I only want your face, Camilla, to
smilo on mo when vou are beyond the
seas.'
"A strango expression of pain and
bewilderment shot across the fair face,
and if Paul had not been blind, be
would have seen that it was with a
feeling of extrcmo reluctance that Ca
milla at last, yiesaeu to ins entreaties.
Her consent once given, however, her
ifts'n.i linn! ion veeineii tfl MS!i 3W.1V fn-
lir.-h , and she was more than usually
merry and cherfui during thefew brief
hours which the time permitted her to
pass in the luxurious studio of her ar-
list lover.
"Paul woi-ked diligent', and, though
evidently hastily done, the portrait was
a master-piece of art, and received the
w arm encoiaiums oi
xere permitted to boo it. i
l'aul had laughingly forbidden Camilla i
so much as one look while the work i
wai in progress; but when, at last, lull j
of loving pride at wliat he justly deem-j
cd his success, he exhibited to his beau- i
. i t . i- - -.i ij-ii
Tiiui sunject u,e exquisitely irutiuui
image of herself which hail grown ho
swif t ly under bis subtle fingers, he was
astonished that again a deadly paleness,
and the same expression of puzzled
j pain took the i!i of the approving
j smiles which he had bten expecting.
" 'Oh, l'aul, it is perfect: Hut 1 do
not want you to keep that picture. Do
not keep it !
" 'Not keep it, Camilla ! "Why not ?
You are not jealous of your own pic
ture, are you '!'
" '1 do not know ; it is so Ktrange.
Well, I suppose 1 am foolish, and you
must have your way. Perhaps I shall
change, and not be like that when 1
return.'
"'Then, paid Taul, I shall huvo to
paint something ra-e beautiful isfill.
Hut your heart will not change, Ca
milla?' No. Paul never! Hut the c-ves ;
how perfectly you have painted the
eyes
"'Indeed I have not,' said Paul, 'and
that is just where I find fault with my
self. 1 shall try and improve them af
ter you are gone.'
'Oh no, Paul '.' exclaimed Camilla.
'Io not touch them. Promise me that
you will leave them as they are prom-
ise me .
to those csassic regions to-wtiose ar-
lier and better day she seemed eb truly
to belong. Sorely was he tempted to
attempt the work of retouching and
improving the cherished likeness; nut
(he was restrained by his promise to
! Camilla.
'Week after week went by, and, if
the truth must be told, many an hour
tiiat should have been given to work or
study was spent by the foolish lover in
dwelling upon one idol for which his
'cliapal of art' was a shrine. Still, as
he gazed upon it again and again, a
strange feeling of almost shuddering
uneasiness would at times come over
him. In vain he sought for its cause,
either in his own mind or in the pic
ture. Certainly every line of that
sweet face was truthful, and ho had
even ventured to transfer tothecanvus
the smile of love with which bhe had
watched him at his labor.
"The feeling grew upou him, until he
was half inclined to hate that which he
had at first very nearly worshipped.
"Letters came and went, and Camilla
wrote enthusiastically of her enjoy
ment of all the treasures of art which
the Old World has inherited from the
past. For a long time she seemed to
studiously avoid any allusion to the
picture, but at last a letter arrived da
ted at Home, in which, after dwelling
with feverish and somewhat extrava-
:ant elo'iuenco upon her experiences in
the Eternal City, Camilla adjured her
lover to semi her the jwtrait at once,
" 'I o not fail,' said she, 'if vou love
me. I cannot explain mysen, out i
shall be forever unhappy if you refuse
niv request. Send it to mo .if onre.'
r l li. 1 . i T
"The letter closed with more tnan
j usually warm expressions of affection,
j and Paul felt that he must comply with
i her request, lie was almost surprised
at himself to find that he did so with
so little of real reluctance.
"'Ah,' he thought, 'her face is so
clearly painted on my memory and on
my heart that I do hot need any re
minder.' "And so the picture was sent. Ca
milla was still at liome when tho cove
ted treasure arrived. Could she have
t'.esired to compare it with any of the
matchless achievements of the old
masters upon which she had so long
i been feasting her eyes ? No,shewou!d
have given more for that one picture
than for all the art-treasures in Rome.
"There was a fire in her room, for
the day was of that raw and chilly kind
which ushers in tho Italian winter, and
Camilla had always been sensitive in
matters of temperature. Sh sat cow
ering before it, alone, and tho negli
gence of her toilet accorded well with
the troubled and mournful expression
of her face. Her c heek were flushed,
atnl the long folds of her hair fell heavi
ly over her rounded shoulder.
" 'Will it never come,' she murmured.
'Oh 1 why did i let him have it ? I must
have been '
"Here she was interrupted by a low
knock at the door, and a servant enter
ed, bearing a square parcel, evidently
packed with great care.
" 'A package lor .Mademoiselle, snia
she ; "it has just arrived.' And she
lingered a moment, as if w ith a hope
that her curiosity would bo gratified
with a sight of its contents.
"A gleam of pleasure shot across the
face of her -mistress as she took the
j parcel,"! ut she said, 'You may go, Li
ctte: and the icqui.si.ive t rone a gal
hail the mortification of hearing the
door bolted behind her.
"Tho flash aitcrr.atc 1 with a marble
paleness on the cb.f-cks of Camilla as j
she tore off with trembling hands tho
many strong coverings of tlie package,
and she fairly screamed with delight as
she at last held up for an earnest scru
tfov tho coveted treasure th? p'ortraii.
' 'At last I have it ! Oh, l'aul, your
fatal skill ! Put it shall never tell talcs
of me r.ow never ! Has it told any?
Does he suspect? He must never know.
What if ho has already found it out ?
If ho hu,s would ho tell? 1 will not
let even him tell tales of vac, much less
this bit of painted canvas. If he did
not see it he was blind. There it is. I
can sco it! I saw it then, but did not
know what it was. I know now, but
nobody else ever shall. It is mv own
I secret," ami I can keep it. Fire does not
tell any tales.
"She stirred the glowing coais with
nervous energy for a moment, and then
the picture, with its slight and grace
ful frame, was laid, face downward, up
on the consuming mass. For a few
moments it smoked, crackled, and bla
zed, then nothing but ashes remained
of that evidence of the weird skill of
Paul Maynard.
"Safe now!" She muttered, almost
nercclv, '1 ire tells no tales : ami again
isho sat down before the firo with a
j somewhat quieter expression upon her
J face, and now and then breathing long
j sighs of relief, as if she had been de-
j ii-ered from some great peril.
Perhaps, if she could have looked
in upon Paul, in his studio that after-

" And so, in an evil hour, he sat down
to w hat he regarded as pre-eminently a
labor of love. JIo had plenty of tint
now, and he threw his whole sot;! into
the work. lie entirely neglected so

face came up in his memory more and
more vividly as he labored; aud day.by

semblance of the beloved image. He
himself was aoioniake J at his wonder

" 'It will do all but ppc-ak he said tor
l.imse'l. -But then the eyes ; that
must be my greatest triumph. Aud
what eyes she has !
' It as with something of his oM
feeliag of dread, nevertheless, that be
approached this part ot lis wrok, which
he had purposely left until the last; and
the feeling grew upon him as he went
on. .More than a month had elapsed
since he had parted with the first pic
ture, and for that whole time he hail
received r,o word from Camilla. This
annoyed him, although her seeming si
lence could readily he accounted for in
many ways. lie had eat before bis ea
sel all that day, somewhat pale from
overwork and confinement, tut con
gratulating himself that his love-work
was so nearly completed. Slowly he
toiled away, touch after touch, utterly
absorbed in his employment, ard re
calling, w ith thrills of pleasure so ker
as to be halfway pain, a thousand fleet
ing express ions which he had so fondly
watched in happy days gone by.
"'Oh. if I could only j-aint them all T
he muttered.
"Put his fatal genius was sadly
choosing for him the ono expression
which was to look out upon him from
the unfathomable eyrs of Camilla.
"Already the light from the hifrh
window was beginning to Foften with
the waning day when, as he laid hy hi
pencil, the young artist drew fo'ndly"
back to gaze upon his finished work.
"For a moment he gazed lovingly and
admiringly upon the exquisite curve of
the proud neck, the almost speaking
hps, tlie perlect contour cf the noblti
head ; but thn the eyes of the picture
caught and irresistibly chained his own,
and the smile of satisfaction fled from
his lace. What fearful meaning was
thai he had so deftly painted ?
"His white lips parted with K-his-pcr
; 'Cod in heaven ! Can it to pos
sible ? Is it truth, or am I '
The door opened noiselessly, and ono
of his most confidential friends ap
proached him with an open letter in
his hand, and laying his hand upon hi
shoulder said :
"Paul, my friend, read this; it will
explain the picture.'
"Paul's hand closed nrechaT.icaUr

expanding horror upon tho words to

thus:
"'You must break it to Paul, for I

interpreted the latent madness in those
beautiful eyes ; and Camilla, with the
keen perception and cunning instisct

"I do not know that Pan!- ever again
touched his case!, though Camilla has
slept for many a year uuder the soil of
France.
"But for that ono tcll-talo picture we
might have hod another great artist,
and I burned it whiio Paul was in bed
with the fever. I suppose he imagined
as much, as he never asked any ques
tions about it."
Greeley Don't Like His Own Teaching.
"A new paper, one of tho don't pay
your-debts party, has been started in
St. Louis, under the title of The Eepn
diator. Well, that is frank at any rate.
Av York Trihvnc
Greeley don't like to have people
copy after his exampl. It sometime
becomes too practical to suit the organ
of the bondholders. For example, he
advocated the enlisting of negro slave
into the armv, and paving the owner
three hundred dollars specie for all eo
voluntarilv
- .nl.clA.l tiT- II.A,. .
I ,,,t after thev were enlisted, the Tri
l,i,.u became the "organ of the Don't
pay -your-debts party," and repudiated
the debt. Greeley also advocated the
abolition of slavery, and the payment
of the owners of the tdaves the value
of their property ; bat when his party
forcibly abolished slavery in the "loyal'
Slates of Missouri, Tcnneisce, Ken
tucky and Maryland, the Tribune be
came the "organ of the Don't pay-your-debts
party-," and repudiated the debt..
Cut Greeley don't like to Uav other
people learn and become practical after
his example. Nevertheless, soma peo
ple will 1-e stubborn enough to do (to.
And so, since his party and the money
sharks formed a conspiracy to destroy
the American constitution, to revolu
tionise the Government, to reduce the
whole people to slavery by means of a
great debt fraudulently contracted, we
have thought it advisable to imitate hi
example so far as to spp'y it to s no
ble, useful and manly purpose, and re
fuse, to ratify the fraud. Greeley know
there is not substance enough in the
country- to pay its honest debts and
leave anything for his pet bondhold
ers ; so he becomes the organ ot the
Don't pay-your-honest-debts party,
while he is at the same time the organ
of those who first rob tho people and
then make the people pay the robber
in gold for performing the "loyal" job.
How do you like it Mr. Greeley, so far
as it's gone ? IfrpuJtator.
