crry, CALIFORNIA.Bie shy, Benysciyt, . Convention met at Sacramento on Tuesday last, and organized by electing aa PRIL 2,1868. owen Y THE TRIAL oF pr eas gr this time one of the most important trials known to the history of this ‘nation is in progress at Washington’ and-every stage of its proceedings + will be watched. with interest, The highest officer, known to. our Constitution is upon his trial for “high crimes and misdemeanore” before a court of impeachment,— ‘This trial is important, not because Johnson is charged with any offence for which he can be indicted, but because he is charged with refusing to. execute the laws as he is bound by his oath to do. In ‘his administration of the government he has violated the. ‘Constitution,trampled upon the statutes and for the purpose of carrying out his policy has usurped the authority belonging, to the Legislative branch of government and assumed the powers of the Supreme Court. These. avis are notorious and yet the Democrats who pretend to be co: ators of the Constitution indorse them. Of these offenses Johnson is already convicted at the. bar. of public opinion, and. it only remains for the Senate, after having had. the testimony presented according to the forms of law to pronounce sentence. “At the beginning of the trial Butler opened the case for the country, and after showing the power of the ., Court, its duties, and reviewing the articles presented by the House, concluded by saying: “The safeguards of ‘the Constitution against usurpation are in your hands ; the interests and hopes of free institutions wait upon your decision, The House of Representatives has done its duty. They have presented the facts in-a constitutional manner. We} have brought the criminal to your bar, and demand judgment at your hands ~ for “his great crimes. Neyéragain, if Andrew Johnson go quit and free this day, can the people of any other country, by constitutional checks and guards, stay usurpation in the Executive power. I speak, therefore, not in the language of exaggeration, butin the words of truth ness, in saying thatthe future political welfare and liberties of all hang trembling on the decision ste Senate.” Those who have careally studied the course of Johnson will indorse every word of this, If the Executive in order to advance his personal aims or to accomplish the objects of his party may trample upon. the laws, establish offices unknown to any statute and ignore the existence of the Legislative and Judicial branches of govern ment, as Johnson has done, the liberties of the people may betaken away and Republican government. overthrown by any ambitious demagogue who can succead in reaching the Presidency.— It id true that Johnson's term is short, and it is not possible that he can do much more harm than is already accomplished, but he should be removed from office for his crimes, in order that his conviction may stand as a warning to unprincipled men in the future, THERE have been many hard things -gaid of Andrew Johnson, but the hardest is a bon mot which we find in a late number of a London paper, It is related that the New English Ambassador, Mr. Thornton, before his departure for the United States, having praised Mr. Johnson’s firmness toa Yankee, who evidently did not see it, lowered his _ tone and said, Well, at any rate, you. must admit that he,is a completely self to which the Yankee replied, with great solemnity, “I hope 80, indeed, for it would reljeve the Almighty of an awful responsibility,” PRESIDENT Harrison appointed Tom Ewing to his Cabinet, and died in one made man;” month. President Taylor appointed him to his Cabinet, and. died in six months. And now Andy wants him !— But it is pledsant to know that the Senate will have mercy upon him, and deny his request. It has no desire to __kil him off in any such roundabout Si nigts brae way. ~ Bx-Gov. John W. Dana, of Maine, died recently in South America of Frank Pixley, Chairman, and M. D. Bornck, Secretary. The following delegates were elected to the National Convention: General P. E. Connor, Célonel James Coey, J. J. Green, Major Stratman, W. H. Sears, W. Lovett, C. B. Higby, J. M. Days, Thomas Spencer rand J. 8. Rogers. General Grant received a unanimous indorsement for President, ‘the nomination of a gandidate for Vice President was laid on the table, and the.question of choosing a State Central Committee was deferred till yesterday. A BILL has wed the Iowa Senate which will gladden the hearts. of the fair sex. It reads “Any.person 21 years of age, who is actually an inhabitant of the State and-who satisfies aby Distriet Court of this State that said person: possesses the requisite learning and is of good moral character, shall be ad~. mitted to practice as an attorney in the different Courts of the State.” A correspondent says the wisdom of Blackstone and Coke hereafter will be: nowhere, and that beautiful lawyeresses “with a bewitching smile and La speaking eye” will turn jurymén’s heads topsy-turvy. The only remedy will be to give woritien a representation on thé jury also, ‘ AN English papey Ghvonicles the death. by pipeclay at Aldershot, of a clever young musician named Solomon, a bandsman in‘one of the regiments in camp. The band of Solomon’s-regiment wears a white cloth uniform, kept constantly damp,-and smeared with pipeclay ; when the pipeclay dries, the wearer has to beat it out of his dress, which is again damped and again pipeclayed; so that the bandsman’s flesh /and bones are racked with rheumatism from damp, while his lungs are. choked the dry pipeclay. A FORMIDABLE avalance fell saeasty on the villiage of Hospitalet, Switzerlasid. The wind had been blowing all day with extreme violence, and in the evening an enormous mass of snow became detached from-theg mountain, burying in its fall the cure’s residence and two or three of the neighboring houses. _ Fortunately no lives were lost. THE IMPEACHMENT. —On Tuesday several witnesses were examined as to what transpired between Thomas and Stanton, when a question arose as to the right of the presiding officer to exclude testimony, and a sharp debate ensued, after which the Senate ee for consultation. In. Franklin county, ‘Tennessee, on the western slope of the Cumberland . mountains, coal, which, without coking, can be used to smelt iron ore, has been found in large quantities. The iron ore of East Tennessee can be smelted by it so cheaply that the cost of producing pig iron will onty be $12 per ton. a AN eminent English lawyer recontly spoke for two hours before a Vice Chancellor, The person who reported the speech also recorded that the Judge interrupted the lawyer one hundred and thirteen times during the ‘Speech —almost once a minute, At.a dinner given by the Directors of one of the State street banks, London, -recently, there were “present, among others, 80 gentlemen, Worth a million dollars each. Good things were said and suggested, as well as eaten at that dinner. ~~ _ At the Minesota Democratic State was introduced in which A.
