The Masons were out in force, and special trains were run over the Martinsville and Terre Haute Railroads. Two boys, aged sixteen and nineteen years, respectively, were arrested at Columbus, Indiana, last week, for robbing the Post-office, at that place, some; tii3 since. They have confessed to the crime, but say they got but To ceuts out of three hundred letters. A second trial of the case against the sureties of the defaulting Treasurer of Fraukliii County, Bastuer, some years since, has resulted in a verdict for the defendants. Tho defalcation was about $30,000, and on the former trial the State got judgment. The Democrats here are much disappointed over the National Convention going to New York. A meeting of Presbyterian Pastors aud Elders of the city was held this morning, to make preparations lor the Uuion Presbyterian Convention, to be held here on the 12th of March.

Lew Wallace at Washington He Is In Close Consultation with Gen. Logan. Wasiiixgton, Feb. 21. The President, to-day, nominated to the Senate Thos. Ewing, Esq., of Ohio, for Secretary of War, vice M. Stanton removed. He also sent to the Senate an Executive communication, in reply to the resolution recently passed "by that body, arguing and insisting that he not only bad the right, under the Constitution and Tcnuro-ol-Offiee Jiill, to remove Stanton, but also to appoint t Secretary of War ad interim. . Everything is quiet at the War Department this morning. Mr. Stanton remained there all night accompanied by his friends, (jen. Thomas made his appearance at the Department at 11 o'clock this, morning, and immediately informed Stanton that he was directed by the President to assume charge of the War Department, and made a formal demand for the mails and other property pertaining to the office. Stanton refused compliance, and ordered him to his duties as Adjutant General of the Army, which order in turn was refused, and shortly afterwards (Jeueral Thomas left the Department and went to tho President's house, where he hid a short interview with Johnson. Postmaster General Randall and Secretary Welles were with the President this morning. Senator Dixon also had un interview with Johnson. Washington, February 21. The Impeachment Committee report that the impeaching of the President passed the House by a strict party vote. Washington, February 21. The. 1 resident to-uay sent to . the banate the following message, which was read ju secret, session, , laid on tho table and ordered priutod. Tbe Senate removed from it the injunction of Bccroyy ;;, .-...: s ; To l ii S.-ul of the Uuiteil Stat ! ' - ii have received a copy of a res Jutioa adooted bv the Senate on th The Senate have received and considered a communication of the President, stating that he had removed Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War, and had designated the Adjutant iieueral of the Army to act as Secretary of War ad interim; . therefore; resolved, by the Senate of tho United States, that, under the Constitution and laws of the Ucited States, the President has no jpower to remove the Secretary of War and designate any other officer to perform the duties of that office ad interim.' This resolution is'.fconfiued to1. the power of the President to remove the Secretary of War and to designate another officer to perform tho duties of tho ' office, ad interim, and by its preamble is made expressly applicable to the removal of ilr. btantou, ami the designation to act. ad interim, pf the Adjutant General of the Army: Without, therefore, attempting to discuss the general power ot removal as to all officers, upon which subject no expression of opinion is contained in the resolution, I shall confine myself to the questiou as thus limited the power to remove the Secretary of War, It is declared iu the resolution that under th Constitution and laws of the United States the President has no power to remove th' Secretary of War, and designate - any other officer v to perform the duties of that office ad ink-rim. As to the question of power under the Constitution, I do not propose at present Mo- nter upon its discussion. Tiie uniform practice from the beginning of the Government, as established by every President who has exercised the office, and docisiuus of the Supreme Court of the United States have settled questions in favor of the power of .the President to removo ail racers excepting a class holding appointments of a judicial character. No practice or any decision has ever excepted a Secretary ot War from the general power of the President to make removals from office. It is ouly necessary, then, that I should refer to the power of the Executive under the laws of the United States, to remove from office a Secretary of ar. Tue resolution denies that un der these laws this power has any ex istence. In other words, it amrms that no such authority is recognized or given by the statutes of the country. What, then, are-the laws of the United states which deny the Presi dent power to remove that officer? I know but two laws which bear upon this question. First in order of tune is the act of August 7th, 1789, creating the Department of War, wbiob.after providing for the Secretary as its principal officer, proceeds as follows:

fating him on the safety of his

Sec, 2. And. be it further enac'L, That ihere shall be in the said Department an inferior officer appointed

vy am principal oaicer, to ue em- r moved, it herein : as ? ha shallr Arem t proper, :iBd (a be called Chief Clerk in fhe Department of War, ad who, whenevt-r the said .principal ' bfficer shall be removed ,from office by the President ot the United states, or' in tiny other , case , of. vacanf' tT 1 ilnrlnrr c,V ir o c ) n . have 'tee charge and eus'tody of all records, books and iipers. ap pertaining to said Department.. It is clear that this act, passed by a Congress many of whose memberparticipated in the formation of the Constitution, so far from deny'mg the power of the President to remove the Secretarj" of War, recognize it as existing in the Executive alone,, without the concurrence of the Senate or any other department of the Government. Furthermore, this act does not purport to confer power by legislative authority, nor, in fact, was there any other existing legislation through which it was bestowed upon the Execiitive. The recognition of power by thisj act therefor,, complete as a recognition, under the Constitu tion- itself." There was- no other source' or authority from which its could be derived .-"l he other at;twhTch""Tefers"7 to this question is that regulating the tenure of certain civil officers, passed by Congress the lid day ot March, 16G7. The first section of that act is in ttie lollowiog words: liiat every person holding.aay .civil ollioe, to which he his been appointed, by arid with the advice and consent of the Senate; and any person who shall hereafter be appointed to any such office, ami' shall become duly qual ified to act therein is and shall, bo, entitled ( to hold ; office until a successor sliall have been in like manner appointed and duly qualified, except as herein otherwise provided ; and that the Secretary of btate.'ot the 1 reasury," of War, of the Navy, of tho Interior, the Postmaster General and the Attorney urtnral inail hold tneir otiices re spectively for and during the term of the President, by whom they have been appointed, and for one month thereafter, subject to removal by, and with the advice and consent ot the Senate. ,? The fourth section of the same act restricts the test of office to limit, pre.-cribed by law creating them. That part of the first sectiou which preceeds the proviso,' declares that every person holding a civil office to which he' haa been,, or Jinny 'bo ap pointed by the advice and consent of the Senate, shall hold, such office . i - - ' - i it ;t . t . until a successor shall have Deen in like mann;r appointed. ,,t , 1 It purports to take from the Executive during the fixed time established for the Tenure of office, the independent power of removal, and to require ror sucn ri movai me, concurrent ac-. tion op the-President" and'"Senate." The provico that follows proceeds, to fix the teru, of office! f the'- several heads of departments, whose tenure liever had -beeni liefined' before, l y prescribing- that they shall hold their office respactively, and' during the term of tho Presideut, by whom ihey may have been appointed, and for one month thereafter, subject to removal by and with the ad yice; and consent of tho Senate. Thus, as to these enumerated officers, the proviio takes from the President the power of removal, excjpt with the -advice knd consent of t he Senate. By its terms, however, before he can be deprived of power to displace them, it must appear that he himseif lias appointed tnera. It is only in that case that tney have any tenure of office, or any independent rig'H io hold during the term of the President and one mouth after cessation of his official functions. The proviso, therefore, gives no Ten-uie-of-Offico to any one of these officers who hss been appointed by the President, jiej'pa J one montli after the accession of his successor. In the ?ae of Mr. Stanton, the only appointment t.nder which he held the office of Secretary -of War was that conferred upon him by my immediate predecessor, with the advice and consent of the Senate. He has never held from mo any appointment a head of the War Department. Whatever right ' he had to hold the offi;;a was ; derived from that original appointment and my own sufferance .The law is not intended to protect such an incumbent of the War Depar'mcnt, by taking from the President tho power to remove him. This, in my judgement, is perfectly ch ar, and the law itself admits, of no other construction. We find in all that portion of the first section which precede tho proviso, thtt as to civil officers generally, the President is deprived of the power' of removal, and it is plain that i." there had been no proviso, that power would just as clearly have been tal eu from him, so far as it applies to the seven heads of Departments; bul for reasons which were no doubt satisfactory to Consrress, these principal officers were "specially provided for, and as to them, the express and only requirement is, that the President who has appointed them shall not, without the advice and consent of the Senate, remove them from office in consequence; that as to my Cabinet embracing the seven officers designated in the first section, the act takes from me the power, without the concurrence of the Senate, to remove iny one of them that I have appointed, but it does not protect such of them as I did not ap-

point, nor does it give to them any

tenure of office beyond my. pleasure The President argues at length the al construction of the - Tenure of. Office Bill. a3 applicable to the Secretary of War, and closes bis Mes sage as follows: .... . I have been impelled bv solemn ob ngarioos, "wnicn rest upon me to sustain inviolate the powers of the high omce committed to my hands, what ever bo the consequences. Merely personal to myself, I could not allow them to prevail against a public duty, so ciear to my own mind, and 60 im perative. If what was possible, had oeen certain; if I had been fully advised when I removed Mr. Stanton, that in thus defending the trust committed to my hands, if my own removal was sure to follow, I could not have hesitated. Actuated by public considerations of the highest character, I earnestly protest against the resolution of the Senate, which charges me in what I have done with a violation of the Constitution and laws of the United States. . (Signed) Andrew Johnson. Washington, D. C, Feb. 22. 1S08. - New York, Feb. 23. The Herald' Washington special states that appearances last sight indicate that the War Department "trouble will resolve itself finally into a legal struggle, wherein the most" bel!irerent"Tarties will bathe lawyers, and the final judg-i mem win oe rendered by the courts instead of by a sanguinary contest of armed resistance.1 ' '' l' General Thomas stated to the Heraid's orrespondent, l$s.t night, in eonc!udiugv- d' interview relative to his intentions, to-day, as follows: " I shall go down to the War Depart'iient at the usual hour as Secretary of War ad interim, to all intents and purposes, without any reservation or doubt that my powers ;as ;?uc1i are perfectly legitimate, as were those of General Grant. I shall set about the business of the Department,' issue orders in the name of the President," ' 'give -fa .tractions'' to subordinate officials, and direct tho general work of the Department. Of course, it will be very unpleasant for me to find officers there, who ma,y be prepared to disreah! mf orders.1 It may, perhaps, happen, to be some personal friends of ray own, but I have no other resource' than to use the power conferred upon me, and order them under arrest if they refuse to obey the legitimate authority : Bufc yrhar about the' 'great 'Mogul himself. Is Stanton to ;be: deft, securely alone? That is the question. He has already refused, to. vacate, and I suppose he will persist in his refusa1. In my own optiqn I shalL decline to use any force, but 'if the President shall instruct. A raa .f,to,. ernjploy forcible persuasion' I must be consistent and -do so. However, I ' shall await the future development ojf this disagreeable business before saying what I ehall --do-.- Ia an interview with Secretary Stanton.. ,with.tbe. sanie cor respondent, the, t Jbrtuer., ctated he had not issued any order to preTent General Thomas entering the War Departrnettt. lie also stated it was impossible to say what action he would take if Thomas iuaisted on assuming the duties;, af-tha , War Department. His action will depend altogether on the movements, of Geo. Thomas.-' ' -"" ' , : .'

Mr.'Ewing has notified the Pre-ident that he will accept the appointment. ., An army officer on duty at the War Department intimated yesterday that orders from any other person than Secretary Stanton would be disregarded by army officers. ,,The militia of Marjdand have proffered their services to a prominent military supporter of the President, so it is reported; and this report is given the color of truth from the presence of Governor Swann, of Maryland, who has had an iLt.rview with the President. General Lew Wraliacc has arrived from the West, in obedience to the call ot the commander of the Grand Army of the llepubiic, and is in close consultation with General Logan.

On motion of Edwards, the Senate took nip the' biil to'regurate the pfe: Mentation of bills to the President and the return thereof. . Drake suggested that the bill was deficieut : in allowing some person outside ot congress, to wit: the secretary of State, to ascertain and declare when a bill has become a law. Afccr considerable discussion, during which Sumner hoped a provision would be iuserted to make the bill a veto action, so as to bills already passed at this session, including for example, the biil to secure 'qual rights in the District of Columbia. ' The Senate then, on motion of Doo1 it tie, postponed all other orders and took up the supplementary reconstruction bill. The question was on a motion to refer it to- the Judiciary Committee, with certain instructions, . Doolittle spoko in opposition to the bill. At 1:30 Col. 31oore presented several messaires in writing from the President, and announced: that the joint resolution passed on February 11, authorizing the: Secretary of, Var to employ counsel to defend certaiu Generals who were engaged in tho execution of the reconstruction laws, had become a law, as nothing hud been returned at the time fixed by law. At the close, Doolittle's remarks on the further consideration ot the subject were postponed until to morrow, an i at twenty minutes to four o'clock, on motion of Johnson, the Senate went into executive session.
