The Pope as a CRITIC.—The Pope
has lately been preaching a crus
sade against ladies’dresses as worn
in the Holy City. His Holiness
says that the Romans generally
seem perfectly ignorant of the fact
that a church is the house of God,
and he lays the blame on the shoul-
ders of the fair sex. He says,
" probably the cause of this evil is
to be found in the conduct of the
women, who, when they go to
church, dress as if for a theatre or a
fashionable promenade ;“ and lie
advises, as a corrective to this, that
some influential ladies shall band
together and form a society, and
"counteract, by their example and
influence, a luxury which produces
the ruin of families, and leads to
immortality." It is also decreed
that any women with extravaga t
head-dresses shall not in future be
allowed to join in the communion.

To-day is George W.’s Birthday, be-
canse it is the 22d of February. It is the
day wesellebrate.
He was born in the “ Old Dominion ”
when a boy, and after a time he exercised
dominion pretty lively.
He was like me—he could not tell a lie.
He had a little hatchet and hewed down
a cherry tree one day, and instead of his
old man giving him the “ birch” for it,
he pined at the misfortune, and George’s
mother gave him some blackberry jum for
telling the truth about it. George always
went black burying after that, whenever
his niggers died.
He set out to go to sea once, but his
mother didn’t see it, so he never got half
seas over in his life.
He early developed a taste for study,
and afterwards became a study himself,
for all his countrymen.
He used to say his prayers regular as
other little boys don’t do now, and he al-
ways obeyed his mother, as boys now-a-
days don’t do so any more.
After that little T. party in Boston har-
bor, England threatened to tan us, and
sent her barque upon the sea for that pur-
pose , but the result proved that she got
a good hiding, for George put on the
gloves, crossed the Deleware on a cake of
ice, and putting up a shiver de f reeze (as we
Parisians say) he warned ’em !
He was the most successfulest man of
his time, as he watched his opportunity
of— course.—N. O. Crescent

9 Judge Caldwell has sub-
sided. He has done nothing to at-
tract attention for several weeks,
having no doubt come to the con-
clusion that the people of Texas
can’t appreciate him. Well they
can’t, and we congratulate them on
having given Judge Caldwell,
(formerly of Arkansas—see affida
vitof Dr. Hooper.) suficient reason
for thinking so. '

rels of the amber colored beverage he likes
and when congratulated by his friends

The Democracy of New York City
are delighted with the decision

teein favor of New York as the

magnificent new Tammany Hall in
Fourteenth-street, in order that the
convention may hold its delibera-
tions there. They intend also to
erect a mammoth marquee in Tomp-
kin’s Square, near by, for the spe-
cial accommodation of the army of
outsiders, while there is talk of
having a general illumination on
the evening of the day on which
the nominations will be made, with

there is no foundation. How this

The following paragraph from the Chi-
cago Post smuggled itself into yesterday’s

“Johnson ought to be a good tailor,
since he is good_at nothing else ; but he
made a ridiculous failure when he at-
tempted to take the measure of Grant.”
The President’s mistake is one that thou-
sands of others have made. He measured
Grant for a giant and found him a pigmy.

INPORTANT SUPREME Court Decis-
ion.—Says a Washington dispatch:
The Supreme Court of the Uni-
ted States recently announced an
opinion in a will case, where the
suit was originally brought in the
Circuit Court ot the United States
for the District of Maryland. The
decree of the latter court was re-
versed, and the case was remand-
ed, with directions to enter a de
cree dismissing the bill of corn
plaint for want of jurisdiction,
without prejudice to the plaintiff to
bring any suits she may be advised
in the proper court. The ma n
point of this decision is, that a
citizen of this district, or the cit-
izens of a territory, do not come
under that clause of the constitu-
tion relative to the powers of the
judiciary, which includes cases be
tween citizens of different States,
while several of the defendants
concerned in the will are residents
of the District of Columbia. As-
sociate Justice Clifford and Field
and the Chief Justice dissented
from the opinion of the majority of
the court.
We copy as follows from the
Philadelphia Ledger :
Since the adoption of the Con-
stitution there have been five
trials of impeachment by the Sen-
ate. The first of these was that of
William Blount a Senator from
Tennessee. It commenced Decem
ber 17th, 1798, and was concluded
January the 1 1th 1799. The next
was the trial of John Pickering,
Judge of the New Hampshire Diss
trict, which lasted from March 3,
to March 12th 1803. The third
was that of Samuel Chase, one of
the Associate Judges of the Su-
preme Court of the United States,
which was commenced November
30th, 1804, and lasted until March
1st, 1805. The fourth was James
H. Peck, Judge of the Missouri
District, which vas prolonged
through two sessions, viz : from
May 11th to May 25th, 1830, and
from December the 36th of the
same year to January 31st, 1831
The last trial by the Senate was on
the impeachment of Judge Hum-
phreys, of the Tennessee District,
about the year 18'63. we think, but
the record is not before us.
It may be interesting to give a
brief sketch of the mode of pro
ceeding in trials on impeachment.
After the House resolves to make
charges, a committee is appointed
to impeach the accused before the
Senate. Then the Senate, by its
sergeant-at-arms, summons the
accused to appearand answer, He
is then furnished with a copy of
the charges, and allowed time to
answer them, The House of Rep
resentatives replies to the answer
when it is put in, declares its read-
iness to prove its charges, and ap-
points managers to conduct the im-
peachment. A time is then deter-
mined for the trial. The accused
has the advantage of legal advis-
ers, and witnesses in his behalf are
compelled to attend. The forms of
the trial are the same as in other
courts of justice. When the trial
is concluded, the Senate considers
the subject, and each Senator, hav-
ing been previously sworn as ju-
rors are sworn, is called by name
and says whether the accused in
his opinion is guilty or not guilty.
If two-thirds of the Senators de
clare"him guilty, then judgement
to that effect is pronounced. The
sentence of the Senate on trials cf
impeachment is limited to removal
from office, and future disqualifican
tion to hold any office in the United
States.

Well, when, where, how and un-
der what name shall the work of
organization begin ? We wait im-
patiently the decision of the Con-
servative press and people on this
question. Shall we have a Con-
vention in Eastern Texas, about the
1st of April, and will Tyler do for
the place ? if so, let the fact be
announced, and let delegates from
all the counties be sent up. Or
shall we have a State Convention,
to meet at some central point ? If
none of this, then let others make
suggestions. As to name, anything
will do us, Democrative, Whig,
Conservative, Anti-Radical, any-
thing, so the principle is the same.
What say you, brethren of the
press ?— Tu’er Reporter.
We see no necessity for a State
Convention, or even for a conven-
tion in Eastern Texas. County or-
ganizations will suffice in our opin-
ion, as the only present duty to be
performed is to prepare to defeat
the action of the mongrel conven-
tion which the recent election has
doubtless authorized, provided the
Constitution which they present is
of the same pattern that has been
adopted in other States. This duty
will be subserved as well by county
as by State or District Conventions,
according to our judgement How-
ever we are agreeable, and shall
abide by what the conservative press
conceive to be for the best*
The House committee on foreign
affairs has agreed upon the follow-
ing bill, as a substitute for one
heretofore reported by them :
Whereas, The right of expatri-
ation is a natural and inherent
right of all people, indispensable
to the enjoyment of the rights ot
life liberty and the pursuit of hap -
piness, for the protection of which
the government of the United
States was established ; and
Whereas, In the recognition of
this principle this government has
freely received emigrants from all
nations, and invested them with
the rights of citizenship ; and
Whereas, It is claimed that all
such American citizens, with their
descendants, are subjects of for-
eign States, owing allegiance to
the governments thereof ; and
Whereas, It is necessary to the
maintainance of the public peace
that this claim of foreign allegis
ance should be promptly and final-
ly disavowed ; therefore,
Be it enacted He , That any declar-
ation, instruction, opinion, ordin-,
ance or decision of any office!- o
this government, which denies, re-
stricts, impairs or question, the
right of expatriation, is hereby dek
dared inconsistent with the fun-
damental principles of thegvern-
ment, and, therefore, null and void.
Sec. 2 That all naturalized cit-
izens of the United States in for-
eign States shall be entitled to and
receive from this government the
same protection of person and
property accorded to a native-born
citizen in like situation.
Sec. 3. That whenever it shall be
duly made known to the president
that any citizen of the United
States has been arrested and is de-
tained by any foreign government,
in contravention of intent and pur-
poses of this act, upon the allegas
tion that naturalization in the Uni-
ted States doos not operate to-dis-
solve his allegiance to his native
sovereign, or if any citizen shall
have been arrested and detained
whose release upon demand shall
have been unreasonably delayed or
refused, the president shall be and
hereby is empowered to order the
arrest and detain in custody any
subject or citizen of such foreign
government who may be found
within the Jurisdiction of the Uni-
ted States, and the president shall,

which now goes to the President.

A lawyer once came into court
drunk, when the judge said to him:
"Sir, I am sorry to see you in a
situation which is a disgrace to
yourself and family, the court and
profession to which you belong."
This reproach elicited the follow-
ing collaquy : "Did your honor
speak to me ?” "I did, sir ; I said,
sir, that in myopinion you disgrace
yourself and family, the court and
the profession by your course of
conduct?’ "May i-i-it p'case your

Attack by United States Troops
on Gonzai.es.— Telegrams were
sent from Houston, on Friday last
to New Orelans, stating that on
the night of the 26ih ult. the troops
stationed near Gonzales, went into
town after dark, and raised a rum-
pus, breaking in windows and
doors, shooting into houses, etc.
They are reported to have dragged
a Dr. Cunningham from his sick
bed and killed him. Several others
are said to have been wounded.
The Keyser House and postoffice

Horrible Murder,—Mr. A. J. Nel-
son gave the Jefferson Times
the following account of another
horrible murder in Davis county,
which he obtained from Mr. A.
Chapel :
Found by some little negro boys
on the -5th inst., on the road leading
from Jesse Warren’s to Ellington’s
mills, not far from the residence of
G. B. Heath, the dead body of a
white man, of fair complexion, sup
posed to be about thirty five years
of age.
The body was terribly mutilated,
the whole of the front part of the
head having been blown off by fire-
arms, and the body otherwise very
much mangled. His clothes, ex-
cept shirt and drawers, had .been
stripped off. He had evidently met
his sad fate some twenty four hours
previous to the discovery- Hewt s
supposed to have been a laboring
man. The first joint of the right
fore-finger has the appearance of
having been injured by a felon.
• To-day, the 6th, an inquest will
be held over the body. Circum-
stances indicate that the man had
been riding a mule, and that two
individuals were concerned in this
foul deed. One foot track is long
and broad, evidently a negro , the
other is a boot track, supposed to
be that of a white man. Every
effort will be made to discover the
perpetrators of so foul a deed, in
so quiet a neighborhood.
At last the plot of the Chase par’
ty to get Grant off the Presidential
race track begins to develop itself.
The cat selected to remove the
chestnut from the fire seems to have
been our old friend, Stanton, whose
experience in connection with San
ford Conover and pals, and in falsi-
fying the records ofthe War Office,
rendered him so eminently fitted
for the purpose. Stanton has play-
ed his cards beautifully. After
having successfully deceived Grant
into his confidence, he seized the
first opportunity of his committal
to the doctrines of the Republican
party, afforded by the Grant John-
son correspondence, to thrust it be
fore the country, and thus rob the
great soldier of his only political
weapon—reticence.
The manner in which this was
managed we learn to be as follows:
Stanton convened a few leading-
members of the party, talked the
matter over and decided upon its
introduction. Fearful lest it would
meet with objection if offered by
any of the leaders, they selected
Mr, Hubbard of West Virginia, a
gentleman little known on the floor,
who was entrusted with its intro-
duction- Coming from such a
source it attracted little attenton
and was adopted. That the easy
passage of the resolution was not
expected was manifest from a ren
mark subsequently made by Mr.
Hubbard to a fellow member, that
he had not expected to have the
resolution passed without objec-
tion. The game was well played,
and the Radicals got thecorrespon
deuce before the country, which
was all they desired.
As expected, it robs Grant of all
his conservative adherents and
leaves the Republican party but
one man upon whom they can cons
centrate their entire force, and that
is the wily Chief Justice.—N. O.

Ou examination of the case of
Samuel Strong, arrested on a req-
uisition from the Governor of Vir-
ginia, as a fugitive from justice, by
Judge Fisher, before whom he was
brought on a writ of habeas corpus,
after a short discussion, Judge
Fisher decided to release the pris-
oner on two grounds. First, because
Virginia is not a State in the Union,
that the proclamations of the Pres-
ident, and more particularly Con-
gress, by its legislation, have ex-
pressly refused to recognise Vir-
ginia and the other Southern States
as forming states ofthe Union, that
requisition of Gov. Pierpont can
not be recognised under the action
of Congress providing for rendition
of fugitives from justice, as an act
to execute authority of a State of
the United States, Second, that
there is no affidavit with the requi-
sition showing that Strong is
actually a fugitive from justice.

Almost a Fatal Accident in the
House of Representatives.—Much
excitement and alarm were pro
duced this afternoon in the House
of Representatives by the breaks
ing of one of the thick heavy
plates of glass in the roof, the gas
lighter havi ng slipped and fallen
upon it, while in the discharge of
his duty. He caught himself by
the iron frame, thus preventing his
falling to the floor. J. B. Grinnell,
of Ohio, formerly a member of the
House, was standing under the
glass at the time, receiving the
welcomes of his friends, and hear-
ing the crash threw up his hands,
which saved his head from injury ;
his right hand was badly cut by a
large fragment of the glass, but
not dangerously. Mr. Price, of
Iowa, was also struck by a piece
of glass, but he was not injured.
Some time elapsed before the busi-
ness of the House was resumed.—

Taking it Hot.—Every diner
wishes his meal served hot, but
generally awaits a certain amount
of cooling before he ventures to
swallow it. Dr. Johnson once
in the deep interest that is felt
throughout the country in the im
peachment measures of Congress,
all other questions to a great ex-
tent have been lost sight of. As
we are debarred from news bear-
ing on this great trial which is now
in session at Washington, we have
been thinking oyer the probable
candidates of the two great oppo-
sing parties of the country, in the
pending Presidential conflict. The
Republican or radical party have
but two prominent men to decide
between, Grant and Chase, and in
our opinion, the old bell wethers
have already made their decision,
and are determined on making the
Chief Justice their standard bearer.
With all his military prestige, they
fear that the duplicity of Grant,
while Secretary of War, ad in-
terim, and his known incapacity
and intemperance will be more
than the American pecple could or
would swallow ; and hence they
will lay their military hero on the
shelf, and bring out the wily Chase.
We regard this as indicated by re*
cent events, and from the fact that
the leaders of the party know that
they must support the most avail-
able man.
On the other hand, the conserva-
tive or Democratic party have quite
a number of men spoken of incon-
nection with the nomination, and
nearly all of the leading papers are
bringing out their favorites, advo-
cating their claims but conceding,
at the same time, that they will
support the nominee of the Nation
al Democratic Convention which is
to assemble in New York. 01
those spoken of the most promi-
nert are the present incumbent,
Andrew Johnson, Geo. II. Pendleton
of Ohio, and Gen. W. S. Hancock.
Of these it is difficult to say which
will stand the best chance of the
nomination. It may indeed result,
that neither of them will be the
choice, but they are without doubt,
the most probable contestants.
Each of them have their friends
and adherents who will labor unre.
mittingly for their success. Pen-
dleton, has seemingly the start in
the race, having been recommen-
ded by several conventions of the
Western States, and is looked to
generally as the Democratic-cham-
pion. Hancock is exceedingly pop-
ular in the 5th District, and through-
out the Southern States, and would
be favorably received over the
whole country.
Our opinion is that the nomination
depends more upon the result of the
impeachment trial than any thing
else. If Johnson is victorious in
his struggle with Congress, it will
make him beyond a doubt the fore-
most man of the age, and insure his
election for the next term. If he
fails for the want of nerve, then the
banner of Democracy must be en-
trusted to other hands, and between
Pendleton, the statesman and ora-
tor, and Hancock, the soldier, the
patriot, and the statesman, will the
decision have to be made.

Wade’s Cabinet.—One of the
Washington evening papers, confi-
dent of the removal of the pres-
ident, talks about Mr. Wade’s Cab-
inet, and prints the following
names as likely to be selected :
Charles Sumner, ef Massachusetts,
secretary of state ; Freeman Clark,
of New York, secretary of the
treasuzy ; William D. Kelly, of
Pennsylvania, secretary of the
navy; Frederick Douglas, of New
York, secretary of the interior;
There are some names on our
subscription list that we hate to
scratch off, for they really look
well, and we know they are good
men, but they won’t pay up, say
times are too hard &c., and we
will be forced to part company
with them, for it is a little too
much of a good thing for us to buy
paper and ink, pay printers, and
the innumerable expenses of a
printing office, just for the privilege
of furnishing them with a paper
free gratis for nothing. Let us hear
from you friends, or off go your
names certain.
CHAWLES and the Prince.—A cus
rious sight may now be seen on the

tion of the author in his autograph
All bear jeter (to throw away) in

Foremost among the "trash,’’ writes
the New Orleans Picayune's Paris
correspondent, “ Gamma," are all
of Charles Sumner’s speeches, de-
livered during the first two or three
years, which lie sent to Prince Na-
poleon. No man in America (for
he is a born flunkey) is so fond of
sending his speeches and pamphlets
to distinguished men as Charles
Sumner Napcleon's collection
shows the attention they7 meet—not
a leaf of them is cut.
Anti-Masonry Revived - Two col
lege presidents in the West are
vindictively determined to destroy
Free Masonry. Rev. Mr. Blanchs
ard, of Galesburg, Illinois, lately
prevailed upon .a conference of min
isters to pass a resolution condemn
natory of secret societies ; and now
Rev. Mr. Finney, of Oberlin, Ohio,
has secured the exclusion of Masons
from the fellowship of the Congres
gational churches of that town.—
The grounds of this exclusion are,
that a Mason " cannot, in the na-
ture of the case, give evidence of
present piety."
What one Radical Thinks of Another —A
Radical paper in the interior of Alabama
seeks, Socratically, to arrive at the status
of a brother Radical of the other wing in
this wise :
Were you in the Federal srvice in the
late war ?
When you came out of the penitentiary
to join the service, had you served your
time out?
Was the regiment you entered the one
out of which you were drummed ?
Did you ever steal a horse ?
How many ?
Are you an expert in slandering a gen-
tleman, when you cannot make anything
out of him ?
Are you a good boot-licker, for loaves
and Gshes, &c.
Are you not ashamed of yourself, gen -
erally, when in the presence of gentle-
men?
Don't you feel mean?

Although he was in a good many tight
places be never got tight himself, neither
was he loose in his habits, altheugh his
habits fitted well.

Although George’s successes filled his
cup to the brim, he never “slopped over.”
He was the Father and Mother of His
Country, 1st in war, 1st in peace, and 1st
in the hearts of his countrymen. (This is
original.)
George was a slaveholder, a Southerner
and a rebel—against George the HI. But
he received his “ pardon ” afterwards
from----the King of Kings.
George is dead now, but there’s a good
many heartily wish to “ see the likes of
him,” about this time.
We are pleased to see movements com-
menced for Democratic organization rn
the South. It is important that this should
be done early and well. Every Southern
State should be fully represented in the
Democratic Nat on al Convention by its
soundest and best men. Send no Orrs,
Joe Browns, or other weak-kneed and
recreant Sountherners—men who were em-
barrassing the Confederate Government
and plotting its overthrow throughout the
late tremendous struggle for Southern
rights and constitutional liberty against
the Puritan crusade for the subjection of
white men in the South to negro and mon-
grel supremacy, and who, since the tri-
umph of the Federal arms, in part by their
machination, have voluntarily placed
themselves on a level with negroes, and
not only that, but have sought to impose
upon their white neighbors the same deg-
radation. This contest is to be waged up-
on principle, and our standard-bearers
must be men of principle, sound in the
faith.
You, men of the South, must record
your votes, and they must be 'counted ;
and as that vote shall show together with
the votes cast by the white men of the
North, a majority for or against our can-
didates, so shall the result be declared,
and so shall it stand and be carried out.
If this brings bloodshed, then let
blood flow! If this carries war into
the manufacturing districts and com-
mercial cities of the North ; if the
torch which has blazed through the South
leaving nothing but desolate hearthstones
and blackened ruins, visits the grand
structures and costly machinery of Lowell
and Lawrence, built by the poor man’s
sweat, and made prosperous by tribute,
wrung from the poor man’s hard earnings,
and levels to the dust the proud and
boasted palaces of Stewart and others who
arrogate the titles of Merchant princes in
our land, then let the torch blaze and
conflagration run riot.—La Crosse Democrat.
A Darky’s View of the Situation.—An
English traveler gives the following ac-
count or a conversation with a negro in
Alabama;
A gentleman of color working on one of
boats on the Alabama river, was asked the
other day whether he was best off now
or before he was free. He scratched his
wool and said; Wall when I tumbled over-
board before, the captain he stopped the
ship, and put back and picked me up.
and they gave mea glass of hot whiskey
and water, and then gave me twenty
lashes for faling over board. But now if
I’d tumble overboard, the captain he'd
sry what’s dat? oh? only dat dam nigger
go ahead."
Historical Sketch by the “ Fat Con-
tributor.—Richard the third was one of
the kings of England, who had a wonder-
ful faculty of bereaving the family of any
person he didn’t like. He could provide
a funeral with a corpse upon as short no-
tice as any man in the business. He
couldn’t be fooled into a bargain—born
with his eye teeth cut. His nurse let him
fall when he was an infant : and a hump
back was the consequence. Richard
wasn’t always king. He belonged to the
royal family, to be sure ; but he was poor
at one time and obtained a scanty liveli-
hood by publishing an almanac. It was
called " Poor Richard’s Almanac.” Old
Ben Franklin done his printing. Rich-
ard suffered great discontent in winter,
and frequently alluded to it, particularly
if he had to go on the stage anywhere.
This winter of his discontent was only re-
lieved by the visit of a little son he had
in York, who made “ glorious summer”
for him even in the middle of January.
In California Yankees marry Digger In-
dians, Irishmen marry Chinese, Portu-
guese marry Malays, Mexicans marry
Sandwich Islanders, Englishmen marry
Apaches—besides all this, we have the
usual mixtures of French, German, Irish,
Spanish and English, as in the Eastern
States. What will be the final result ?
Here is a question for the ethnologists—
such a question as no scientific men of any
age have had as yet to study. Is there the
beginning in California of a unity of na-
tions and of languages like that to which
the Arian dialects and those who speak
them are traced? Who shall say what
manner of nation may come from the
mingling of the races—who shall say what
manner of nation may come from the
mingling of the race—who shall say what
territory they will control, what numbers
they will boast, what language they will
speak ? Who shall say how long they
will rule upon the earth, a single nation
—when will it scatter again to the four
winds ?
