Feeling at the North.
.John For?ylh, the nble Editor of the Mobile Regis
ter, writes from Washington city as follows:

have not met the first man who will admit that the
people will resist (except at the ballot box), any ex
treme.! point of usurpation."
Of course there will be no physical resistance at
the North. When the Southern people were con
quered and nubjugated, the Northern people were
also subjugated. Before secession occurred, many
,f our so-called Northern friends declared that an
army to invade the South would have to pass over
their dead bod.es before accomplishing the object,
l.ut when war actually commenced those Tcry same
persons were about the first to march against us, and
they did us a great deal of harm under the lead of
uch former professed friends as Sickles, Butler,
O-hraue, Sc. ; and the worst of it is, they are now
more vindictive and revengeful than many who never
pruf,-sed friendship for us.
Whatever is accomplished towards remedying the
d;fii. ulties. and removing the annoyances and pcr
pWities under which the cutb now labors, must be
done by the ballot alone, and it roust be done by fair
reument and calm, deliberate and considerate ac-
tiuu. There will be no more war between the people
of the two sections, and neither will the Northern
people spill their blood in our behalf, no matter what

The Impeachment Proceedings.
But little progress was made in the trial of Presi
dent Johnson during the past week. Proceedings
were resumed on Thursday last, when the counsel
for the President commenced introducing testimony.
The Washington Express, speaking of the trial,
says.
"It has been agreed by the counsel of the Presi
dent that Judge Curtis shall open the case on their
side. lie does not intend to write it, but will speak
from very brief notes. Gov. Boutwell will make the
summing up on the side of the managers after the
evidence is all in, and with Mr Bingham will close
the case, the latter of course, by virtue of his posi
tion, making the closing speech of all. On the de
fence, Messrs. Evarts and Stanbery will close. Both
on the part of a portion of the managers and the
counsel tor the President an efl'ort will be made to
have the Senate so extend its rule as to allow more
than two to tpcak in closing the case. Mr Logan is
preparing a speech which he is anxious to deliver,
and Mr Groesbeck, of counsel, aleo wishes to speak.
The counsel will call the members of the Cabinet to
show that in many respects Mr Johnson has followed
the policy of Mr Lincoln, and that they all advised
him that the civil tenure law was unconstitutional,
and therefore not binding upon him, and that they
also urged him to test the matter in the courts, and
that he was taking steps to this end. Col. L. D.
Campbell is here, as is also Major General Mierman.
The latter is to be questioned concerning conversa
tions with Mr Johnson regarding testing the tenure-of-office
law in the courts."
Washington, April 6. Much chagrin exists among
Radicals. The failure of Butler to make out a case
against the President has been a subject of general
congratulation everywhere outside of the friends of
the Hump. Some blame Butler, others condemn the
witnesses.
Candid observers and thinkers agree that the im
peachment was a stupendous mistake. The Radicals
still insist that the President must be convicted.
They say that their party cannot afford to fail. To
fail weld be irredeemable ruin.
Washington, April 7. The President's levee last
evening was largely attended. The President ap
peared remarkably cheerful, and did not look in the
least impeachment-aistuTDfcCi.
After having recoguiied the most frivolous test i
monv as bearing upou impeachment, the Radicals are
now" resorting to strategy, with a view to stiffen the
partisanship of those Senators who, it is feared, are
inclined to vote against the conviction oi me i rcM
The Ku-Khrx Klan Humbug.
Washisgtoh. April 9. General Grant has issued
no orders regarding the Ku-Klux Elan.
The above is a telegraphic dispatch from Wash
ington, and shows that the idle talk in Southern
papers about the "Ku-Klux Klan" is attracting at
tention at the North, and will, no doubt, be made an
excuse for accusing the Southern people of disloyalty
and justify more oppressive measure
We presume the whole affair is an attempt at fun,
but we fear it will prove rather unfortunate to our
people. Northern papers are already denouncing
the suppposed organization as dangerous to the
Union, and calling on the Government to interfere.
No matter who commits acts of violence, it is attrib
uted to the work of the "Ku-Klux Klan," said to be
composed of Southern men.
We cordially endorse the following remarks of the
Norfolk Journal:
"We hope that our press will universally unite

Coute with n;e t4i the
Congress.
While the impeachment trial is progressing it is
not expected that much legislative business will be
trftiisacted by either House of Congress.
Last week, in the Senate, Mr Sumner offered a
joint resolution to amend the Constitution so as to
disqualify Presidents of the United States from hold
ing ofhee a second term
Setiator Johnson presented petitions from seven or
fiplit thousand colored people of South Carolina,
fioora and Alabama, asking the Government to aid
them iu emigrating to Liberia; the reasons set forth
iu the petition being that they could not obtain em
plevinctit. and could not hope to overcome the social
ineuality inseparable from their condition in the
South.
Two sets of delegates are before Congress from
Florida, each with a Constitution purporting to have
),..r:i x,l.nti l hv the people of that State. The Re-
cotw ruction Committee ure now considering them.
Thad. Stevens is not sati-fied with either of the con
stitutions presented, and desires the committee to
frame an entirely new one, and send it to Florida for
ratification. He insists that Congress has fully as
much right to make a constitution for a State, as to
dictate lo it w hat kind of an one it shall have.
In the House, Mr liohinson, (democrat.) of New
York, offered a resolution rescinding all the previous
a.Miou in the impeachment case. It proposed to re
call all papers and testimony. Of course the ques
tion was not entertained.

they were acting in a Legislative or Judicial capac

eight charges were based, was that the removal of
Stanton and the appointment of Thomas was inten
ded to be a violation of the tenure of office act and
the Constitution. He denied both propositions, and
among other authorities, he quoted statements of
members of the Conference Committee
He proceeded, showing that the heads of depart
ments were the voice and hands of the President,
lie argued that the heads of departments did not,
in fact could not constitutionally come under the
Tenure of Office bill that these exceptions were un
