JIThe last case of impeachment
was that of Judge Humphreys' of Ten
nessee. He was impeached upon the
testimony of Andrew Johnson. The
prosecution was conducted by Pendle
ton. New Rebel Dodge. The Kentuc
ky Democratic papers are taking the
ground that the "process of abolishing
slavery has. been revoiuiionary," that
the ratification thereof by the seceded
States was compulsory, and that ihe
whole matter will be reconsidered
when military power shall be with
drawn. This shows the programe. If
slavery .can't be restored, Southern
Democrats intend to demand payment
for their slaves. Northern Democrats
must prepare to adopt one or the other
alternative. Of coursetbe Republicans
are squarely against both. There 13
no safety for any Northern interest
