t Impeach-sent.
The ocean volume of talk in the Court of
Impeachment has at length come to an end,
and 10-day a vote is to be taken as to wheth-
er Andrew Johnson be guilty or not guilty of
the crimes charged. We have never been
able to fully doubt that verdict of guilty
must be rendered, and yet we have known
that Senators Grimes, VanWinkle and Fow-
lcr were considered to be allied to the
President's party in the Senate, and last. that
Senator Fessenden, with 'more cold. “5mm
law in his head than grace or justice in his
heart, was sorelytempted to vote innocent,
this greatest of modern disturbers of the
public tranquility. While the vote will not
be. a partizan one, and extremely close, we
confidently affirm our faith that bluff old
Ben Wade will be president ere this week
shall end.
Our City Charter
Will be granted by the present Legislature,
and we cannot refrain from congratulating
our people in advance upon the promise of
a thorough, wise, and economical administra-
tion of municipal affairs. By a unanimous
vote of the citizens present at the last meet-
ing, it was ordered that a clause be inserted
in said charter thatno one serving as mayor,
alderman or councilman, should receive one
cent for personal services until after our
population shall number twenty-five thou-
sand.
We never saw any movement espoused so
generously and so generally. All the stupid
falsehoods retailed about enormous taxa-
tions, have not induced a corporal’s guard
10 sign a remonstrance, and hundreds who
were indifferent or Opposed, are now the
most zealous advocates for the charter.
The simple truth is they have informed
themselves that we can have a safer and bet-
ter government with but a trifling increase
of taxation. .

Legislative Enactnacnts.
The early'and decisive actiori of the House
in ordering the committee to report a general
railroad law, is full Of promise for the future
growth and prosperity of our State. As
justly might the legislature restrict all the
carrying business .of the Sound to one steam-
boat or sloop, as to enact that but a single
railroad shall monopolize all the business
through its borders. Let the Legislature
contemplate for a moment what this giant
monopoly owned in a majority of its stock,
and controlled by Cornelius Vanderbilt, has
wrung from the pockets of the people Of
Connecticut. Built at a cost of three mil-
lions—theft and robbery and gross misman-
agoment compelled an increase of its capital
to man millions, and yet with this enormous
. increase, over and above its actual cost, by
putting up its fares and exacting excessive
freights from our citizens, it has been able
to pay ten per cent of all this increase and
carry its stock in the market to.140l Here
is the simple result. This road, costing
three millions, by its monopoly is enabled
to force such exactions from the pockets of
the very people who voted its charter and
prerogatives to it, as to pay ten per cent on
seven millions ofcapital and legal interest on
ten millions, with its stock ruling in market
so as to nominally represent a capital of
$12,000,000 ! Ten millionsof' property and
thous ads of population will be inevitably
adde to Connecticut, within five years, and
or. r tax payers in so much alleviated by
tln- granting Of a chartOr for a second and
much needed means of ingress and egress
from New York. Can and will an enlight-
ened Legislature deny so just and palpably
reasonable a request ?

NEW Rows—It is one the most cheering
signs of the times, that on every new road
that has been opened by the town during
the past year, from one to a dozen new
houses have been and are being erected. If
our Savings Bank will dispose of a portion
of its half million of railroad, bank and
government stocks, and loan it to the poor
Int-.11 who :yearn to enlarge our town by
building houses, our taxes will be lessened,
our property enhanced, our business men
supplied with new and increasing numbers
of customers, in fine, our town would out-
grm. any place in the entire state, and we
Ilupt' all the dictates of wisdom, prudence,
and public spirit, to say nothing of the safe-
ty and best interest of depositors will be
lln‘uz consulted by the custodians of our Sa-
v lugs Bank Treasure. ‘

- Fowler Guards.
We last week referred to the recovery of
the little silk flag taken out to war by the
late lamented Capt. Fowler. The following
is the notice that gave information of its
will rvabouts:—
THE FOWLER (warms.
'2'.) fl... Editor of the Army and Navy Journal.-
s‘in: Sergeant Willis T. Graham, of the
( mt: Hundred Twenty-eighth regiment of In-
(liana- Infantry, has in his possession a' silk
1'. 5. flag, marked “ Fowler Guards,” which
hv captured from'the Rebels in North Caro-
lina. Rebs said they took the flag at Chan-
cellorville, from the Eleventh Corps, during
the night attack made by Jackson on our
forum. '
The sergeant is a gentleman and wishes to
rem: u the flag to its rightful owner.
D. H. Omen.
(Late) Capt. Seventeenth U. S. Infantry,
Logansport, Ind. March 1‘ 1868. .
Feeling assured Of its local ownership,
we addressed a note to Capt. Chase, and re-
ceive-d it by express, with the following let-
u—r still further in detail of its recovery.
Though not designed for publication, the
Capt. will pardon us, we' are sure, when he
comes to know the intense interest felt by
everyone hereabouts, in any incident con-
nected with that noble martyr to Liberty—
Douglas Fowler.
LOGANRSPORT, IND., Apr. 25, 1868.
A. ll. BrINoTON, Esq.,
DEAR Sm :—Enclosed I have
the pleasure of sending you flag of “Fowbar
Guards,” with photo ph Of Sergeant W.
T. Graham, of 129th nd., Infantry, who has
generously placed the flag in my hands for
the owners. He obtained the flag from the
house of Col. Edward G. Hayworth of the
7th North Carolina Infantry, C. S. A., at
Raleigh, N. C. Sergeant heard the lady of
the Col. boasting about the flag and resolved
that no union fiag should be retained by
Bobs. to boast over, and so he watched his
chance and captured it. He feels glad of an
opportunity of returning the colors to the
right. place. The flag is somewhat torn, but
it was in that condition when he got it from
the rebel Col. ' .
Please acknowledge receipt of flag through
Anny and Navy Journal, as coming from
Sergeant Graham of 128th Indians nf‘ant-
ry and oblige.
Truly yours, D. H. CHASE.
_,We hope another week to publish a de-
tailed account from Lieut. Craw fi'om whom
it was captured, and also by whom the flag
J H». was presented to Capt. Fowler. This has
'I'7‘fi‘ocome a disputed question. While num-
bers can recall its having hung. in the Cap-
tain’s tent, while the 17th CL,was at Bridge-
port, there seems to be a division of opinion
as to who originally presented it to him.

The Election Ponds.
Wednesday last was a pleasant day, and
the “Election"paradc in New Haven was
largely attended by men of all parties, from
all parts of the State. As a show, the-ps-
rade probably surpassed anything of the
kind before seen in New Haven, special ef-
forts having been made to inducemilitary
were ridiculed and the companies to
attend. Formerly the militia 9.1""
tern was much abused by the democracy
but. since the election of Mr. English 10 be
Commander-in-Chief they have suddenly
discovered that the “system is really ex-
cellent,” and should be maintained, and the
militia men are not now subject to jeers and
insults.‘
When Governor Hawlcy was inaugurated
at New Haven, it was proposed to order
several regiments there for the May parade,
but no, that could not be done. If compa-
nies went over they must go independent-
ly and pay their own expenses. This year,
seven companies of the Eighth Regiment
were over by invitation, and it is generally
understood in military circles that those
companies will, not make any other May pa-
rade (under pay) and that they received
mileage to and from Stratford, on Wednes-
day last. We are not heavy tax-payers and
have no complaints to make, but mention
these facts simply for the information of the
public. But this parade heretofore, has in-
variably been considered a non-political sf-
fair, and we do complain that this ' year it
was turned into a political show, and used
with a view to effect in the political advance-
ment of our ambitious governor. Our boys
of the Connecticut National Guard, more than
nine-tenths of them Republicans, were con-.
gregated fmm all parts of the State and kept
under arms until four o’clock, tramp, tramp,
tramping through the city, including the no-
torious third and fifth wards, es escort to
James E. English, and Franan Pierce,
Tom and Horatittymonr, Mayor Hoffman,
Capt. W. W. Eaton, and a host Of the most
ultra democrats and copperheads in the
country, and that, too, when their own Ms-
jor-Gcnersl and Staff were unceremonious-
ly snubbed at, the Review. Our boys did
not go to New Haven for that purpose, and
will not likely be caught again in that trap.
Another unusual occurrence was the pres-
ence of military companies from New York
to “assist” in the ceremonies. Heretofore
our own militia have been quite sufficient.
The soldiers present, not special guests of
New Haven companies, were provided with
a cold collation by the citizen's committee.
The ceremonies of the day ended up with
a grand democratic supper, Eaton, Babcock,
Ingersoll, Hofi‘man and His Excellency do-
ing the speaking, and a New York Band
furnishing music.
M——————-
U. S. SENATOR—The Meriden Recorder
with a justifiable local pride, and with a
good show of equity, so far as its candidate
is-concerncd, urges the election of Hon. 0.
H. Platt for senator. Mr. Plait certainly de-
serves well of his party, and the future is full
of‘hopeful promise for him, yet we do not
see a reasonable prospect of his being cho-
sen this time. We see no reason to change
our opinion expressed some weeks since,
that the choice lay between Ex Gov. Buck-
ingham and Hawley. Should a break be
contestants, Aug. Brandagee and Gyms
Northrop, would roll into the caucus 9. vol-
ume of enthusiastic support which we doubt
not, would surprise themselves even more
than their fiiends.
WThe Governor‘s Message will be found
on our outside. He compliments the Repub-
lican administration of affairs by alluding
to the reduction of the State debt, and the
portions of the message devoted to State af-
fairs will be found interesting. His wishy-
washy stuff and nonsense about “Federal
Relations” is outrageously insulting lo the
loyal people of the state, and disgraceful to
himself.
WWe trust the present Legislature will
so amend our Saving Bank laws, as that
these institutions may cease to be shaving
mills. In other wo‘s, that they maybe re-
lieved from their onerous and unjust burdens
of taxation, so that they may loan their mon-
ey at seven per cent. and the party so loan-
ing be exempt fl'om paying a tax on his loan,
in the same manner as if borrowing from a.
private individual. As it now is, many of
our Saving Banks exact seven per cent. six
months in advance, equal to a fraction less
than eight per cent. interest, and upon this
loan the borrower can get no abatement on
what he owes. This is all wrong or Jewish.
A poor man with a Saving Bank mortgage
on his little homestead, should be entitled to
the same abatement he would get if he bor-
rowed Of an individual, and the Bank’s
should be entitled to sewn per cent. interest
and no more.
The peddlar license law requiring the pay~
ment Of $100 for a. license, to every one sel-
ling goods by sample should be materially
amended, or abolished altogether.
m
GRAVEI. WaLxs.—As we have before sta-
ted, we do not believe anything hasyet been
devised for walks, equal to the tarred and
gravel processes now so universally in vogue
There is a new patent known as the Dodge
patent, $60,000 worth of which is ordered to
be put down by the city authorities of N. Y.
the present summer. A sample of it m'ay
be seen by any party visiting New York,
crossing the City Hall Park, across from the
World ofilce to the Broadway Bank. This
walk has been down a year, yet it is as
smooth as a pine floor and possesses a pecu-
liar India Rubber elasticity to,the foot of the
pedestrian, while slipping upon it either in
summer or winter, is an impossibility. We
hope to see a similar side-walk put from the
new bank down to the Gazette Building,
and also the walks to the churches across
our green.

from a horrible death, at the Union Factory.

floor looking through the opening, when the
elevator descended. He was fortunately
seen by some one in charge, and the breaks
were put on just in time to save his life. As
it was he was somewhatinjured, but we be-
lieve not seriously. The presence of these
boys, who will get into the works in spite of
all efforts to keep them out is a great annoy-
ance to the officers Of this Company, and pa-
rents should exert themselves to keep their
children away fl'om all manufactories where

The London Spectator says that Sir Bob-
ert N a ier, in his A‘btyrtlasmian expedition,
compel ed “a lofty 'can desert to yield
water by an Americara device not twelve
months old.” A half ozen mules, it says,
“are drawn up, loaded with thin steel tubes.
Tap, tap, tap, goes a hammer rigged up in
five minutes, and in ten the curse of Africa
has been conquered as ’if a new Moses had
smitten the rock, and a pure arm of water
is spouting among the stones.” it seems
that America, if not the President, has play-
ed the part of “Moses” for an English army,
if not for the negro slave. ,

Terrible Volcanic Eruption.
The bark Comet, from the Sandwich Is-
lands, brin accounts to San Francisco, of a
terrible vo canic eruption by Manna Loa,
which began its demonstrations on March
27th. On the 2801 one hundred earthquake
shocks were felt, and during the two weeks
following, to April 13th, two thousand shocks
occurred.
in many places, a tidal wave sixty feet high,
rose o‘Ver the top Of the cocoa trees for a quar-
ter of a mile inland, sweeping human beings,
houses and everything movable before it.
The terrible shock prostrated churches and
houses and killed many persons. In all one
hundred lives were lost, besides thousands of
horses and cattle. The craters vomited fire,
rocks and lava, and a river of red hot lava,
five or six miles long, flowed to the sea at
rate of ten miles per hour, destroying every-
sea. A new crater two m' eswide has open-
ed and throws rocks and streams of fire a
thousand feet high. Streams of lava rolled
to the sea, and at one time the illumination
extended fiftyhiniles at night. The lava has
ushed out In the shore one mile. At
aischina, three miles off the shore, a con-
ical island rose suddenly, flirting a column
of steam and smoke, while e Kono packet
was passing, sputtering mud on the vessel.
The greatest shock occurred April 2d.
Prior to the eruption there was a great show-
er of ashes and pumice during the great
shock, and the swinging motion of the earth
was dreadful, so that no person could stand.
In the midst of this tremendous shock the
eruption occurred. The red earth poured
down the mountain, rushing across the plain
three miles, in three minutes, and then ceased.
Then came the at tidal wave, and then
streams of lava. illages on the shore were
all destroyed by this wave, the earth Opened
under sea and reddened the water. The
earth eruption swallowed thirty persons, and
the sea many more. Great sufiering and per-
il in the district, and the whole region was
affected. The sloop Live Yankee has been
dispatched with provisions, etc., to rescue
and relieve.

ew York City, called
Double Refined Ponds-cafe,
which is an entirely different article from the common
Poudrette made in former s. It is nouns: ms.
mom of the old kind, fine as fiour, free from coarse
impurities, and is as strong and efi'ective as any super-
phosphate in market, although sold for only
Twenty-flee Dollars a Ton in New York.
This article has only been used one season, but its
efi'ects have astonished every one who have tried it,
and the company confidently assert that used in quan-
tities half as large as was formerly used of the com-
mon Poudrette, that it will not only double the crop,
but ripen from ten days to two weeks earlier.
This makes it by far the cheapest and most prefera-

Orr-nor. New Your: TEInUNE, Jan. 20th, 1868.
I used a quantity of Croasdale’s Super-Phosphate on
corn and other crops last year, and the result was
highly satisfactory, especially on the corn. My opin-
ion is, it will pay to use good Phosphate, such as yours,
on almost any crops, no matter how rich the soil is.
fives the young plant a vigorous start that is felt
nnv the entire season.

Till} WAY TO BRING IUI’ WORN OUT FARMS.
Statement of Professor James C'. Booth, of the results of
Croaadale’a Super-Phosphate on hisfarm of 60 acres,
near White Hall, Del. Co., Pa., during the term of
re years.
e returns are
the purchase of only the feed and seed. The number
of cows are added to show, lst: That a considerable
amount of cash has been expended in this purchase.
2d: That a farm can garduahy dispense or diminish
with the purchase of fertilizers, by increasln its home
reduction of manure: The cash returns 0 1861 show
ow r the 60 acres were before using the Phoshate.
To the last cash account of 1865. and to the value of
the number of cows, should be added the very large
increase of fodder and manure, and the greatly in-
creufed fertility of the soil.

This medlcfile is a Nerve Tonic. It stops the waste of
vitality, braces the nerves, and quietly regulates the
system. Sleeplessness, lrrltability, Loss of Energy,
Loss of Appetite, Dyspepsia, Constipation, Local
Weakness, and a general falling of the ménlal and
bodily functions, are the common indications of Nerv-
ous Disease. Dodd's Nervine and Invigorator is a
complete specific for all these troubles. It is also the

Mothers! we also recommend the Nervine, for use in
the diseases which ufilict children while teething, as
certain to afi'ord quick and grateful relief. The stupe-
fylng Syrups, of which opium is the principal ingredi-
ent, are dangerous to life, impair the functions Of the

of your offspring. To cure Wind Colic, regulate the
