Inilieadiiucnt.

Wo propose to notice this subject, not in connection with its progress, but of its importance. The impeachment of the President of the United States although long talked of has at length actually taken place, and the impeachment is in progress. I»ut why was it not sooner done ? Why postponed until this late period in his term of office?— Simply for the reason that Congress did not desire to be forced into an impeachment for any ordinary cause; but that the President should pass through his term quietly and without producing such a necessity. The drunkeu inauguration —the drunken and disgraceful trip to Chicago—his disgraceful mob encounters by the way,and finally, his wholesale pardon of rebels fresh from the attempt cd overthrow of the government and the slaughter of its citizens, were endured,— Put still more : Who has not with pain and mortification seen theso men placed in high and responsible offices; places made for them by turning out of office the men who had defended and saved the government ? There were many representatives in Congress who were for the impeachment of the President, but a majority forbore oven in the fane of the bloody massacre of New Orleans. For his support of the laws and his interest in behalf of the men who stood by the Union in its darkest hour of trial, the gallant, the heroic Phil. Sheridan was brought to the political block, (though thank God he lives yet, and well may tyrants tremble,) and yet Congress still

waited and hoped and prayed,

“Whom the gods wish to destroy they first nnko mad.” The President evidently mistook forbearance for fear, and thought Congress too cowardly to arraign hi in for any ufloucc; hence bin entire disregard of law in the removal of Stanton and the appointment of Thomas The President has forced Congress, unwillingly too, into the necessity of im-

peachment.

That the President has violated a

plain statute of the government ho unhesitatingly acknowledges, and excuses himself therefor on various pretexts.— “That the act was unconstitutional;” “that it was only intended to get the act before the courts to test its validity,” etc. Is not the President of the United States bound to obey the laws passed by the Legislature of the nation? In a government like ours, where the people rule and the officers of the government uro but the people’s servants, this proposition is self evident. Every officer Oy the government is under the control of law, from the President to the lowest constable, and are all amenable to law “The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States, shall bo removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” (Constitution U. S., Art. 2, Sec. 4.)— The penalty is here fixed by the Constitution for the guilt of the offences here named. The President is rcquiied not ♦o commit “treasen” against the government. Nor shall he be guilty of “bribery;” nor shall he be guilty of other high crimes and misdemeanors, making the President amenable to law. The same penalty is affixed to all these offences, showing the high estimation in which the framers of the Constitution held the good conduct of this officer.— The character and the well-being of the government was to depend greatly upon the conduct of its President. He shall not bo permitted to commit misdemeanors; he shall not misbehave or commit small offences against the laws, and if he does he shall suffer the same penalty as for the highest. This was the spirit of

the fathers of this governmont. To whom did the framers of the Con-

stitution commit the guardianship of the President's conduct? “The House of Representatives shall have the sole power of impeachment.”—U. i>. Cvntt., Art.l, Sec. 2. “The Senate of the United States shall have the sole power *.o try all impeachments.” Thus it is seen that this trust has been committed to tbe

People’s Representatives. These Rcpre- Washington, sentatives are elected every two years and Mom'o/- ! .7.7.7.’, are very properly supposed to speak tbe Clinton eentiments of tbe masses. Congress be- Wnrrin.^.... ’ ing more intimately connected with, and J'-ttBrsoo more immediately under the control of Grt-encsstie.!!!. tbe people than any of the other depart- Glov,-rdalo incuts of the Government, it was i-iov.t .'.’..7.7.!

eminently proper that this high trust nud important responsibility should bo confided with it. Hut it is worthy of itmatk, tint this very high and respon-

sible duty lias not been carelessly confided, but guarded with the utmost care. The President is most carefully guarded, and his rights are not likely to suffer from passion or prejudices hastily gotten up. The House must first determine by a majority that articles of impeachment shall be preferred. And “ when the I’resident is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside.”—Art. 1, See. 3, Con»t. “No person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of the members present.”—Art. 1, Sec. 3. No just, no law abiding President need fear this provision ; it is indeed one of the many evidences of the great wisdom and patriotism of the founders of the Government. There is no department of the Governmont in which a designing officer would be so dangerous as that of the Executive ; in addition to his executive privileges, he has a veto upon all acts of Congress, which requires two-thirds to pass a bill over it. Again, “The Presi dent shall bo Commander-in-Cbicf of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual service of the United States.”—Con*t., Art.2,Sec.2. So that it was seen that such great and dangerous powers, intrusted to the hands of a single individual, where but a single will was required to misuse them, should bo well guarded that no ambitious Chief might seize upon absolute power. This has been well done without endangering an honest administration. It is worthy of’ notice in this connection that the framers of the Constitution, after having amply provided for the security of the President, have made his punishment, after conviction, sure. “ Reprieves and pardons may bo granted for all offences against the United States, r.vctjtl in cases of impeachment."—Const. Art 2, Sec. 2. The penalty in cases of impeachment, is removal from office, and shall not extend further than “disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit, under the United States.” Is it then the duty of the House to impeach President Johnson, providing ho has committed the offences, or any of them, designated by the Constitution as worthy of impeachment? Undoubtedly it is. It is not only a privilege to do so, but it is their duty, bound by solemn oath. Every Representative is “ bound by oath or affirmation, to support the Constitution.”— See Constitution, Art. G- Hus the President a right to set aside the acts of Congress, for the reason that he thinks them unconstitutional? More

The News. GENERAL. Municipal and county elections throughout Tennessee, Saturday, were all favorable to the Republicans. The President has pardoned 100 counterfeiters and mea imprisoned for connection with the cQ«tcrfeitiDg busi-

ness.

S. S. Cox, Gen. JleClcllan and Mr. Hubbell, as to their nominations ior foreign ministers, aro as dead as door-

nails.

The Ohio House of Representatives has passed a severe law against prizefighting. It punishes principals^ by imprisonment in the penitentiary fur from one to ten years, and abettors, by fino and confinement in jail. It is to bo hoped that tho Senate will at onco ratify this action. The Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist considers the impeachment ol tho President an act of treason on the part of the “ Radicals ;” and says that if the people of the North are afraid to fight for their freedom they are fit subjects for chains and slavery, and in their horrible abasement the must vindictive spirit in the South will bo glutted with a vengeance which no mortal imagination cau adequately portray. The claims of the United States against Great Britain for damages caused by tho pirate Alabama were considered in the English House of Commons on Friday last. Mij. Shaw Lafevro, member for Reading, called uj. tho rjuoutinn and made tho opening speech, discussing tho question with a candor and fairness which elicited the commendation of Lord Stanley, Secretary for Foreign Affairs, combined with an avowal of the justnest of the popular conviction of the American people, which charges England with the responsibility of setting the pest of the seas afloat, that carried great weight, and will be heartily appreciated on this side of the water. Lord Stanley's reply was rather apologetic than otherwise, but free from any tone of defiance, and from any expression of obstinate opposition to the claims made by thisGoverumont. Mr. Forster and John Stewart Mill both took tho American ground in their remarks, 3Ir. Mill being especially outspoken on the injustice and rashness of the recognition of tho South as entitled to belligerent rights. 31 r. Gladstone closed the debate with an earnest declaration that the question at issue ought to bo honorably and quickly settled. From Washingtons The writ summoning tbo President to appear at the bar of the Senate next Friday, was served by the Sergeant-at-Arms of tho Senate Saturday. Nothing of moment occurred at tho interview, Sir. Johnson stating formally that duo attention would be given the summons. Tho Senate 31illitary Committee has resolved not to take any action at present on tho nomination of Ewing to be Secretary of War, audit is probable that the matter will be undisturbed on tho table till the end of the impeachment proceedings. Tho Committee will at a pro per time report against confirming tho Brevet rank offer.A by President to Generals Sherman and Thomas, and in doing so will ask the Senate to pass a resolution very complimentary to thoso offi-

cers.

General Hancock has asked to be relieved from command of tho fifth military district. Ho dees this, because his order removing certain members of tbe New Orleans city council, was revoked by General Grunt, and also his order removing the street commissioners of that city. The request to be relieved is made in a formal manner after military custom through army headquarters. It was communicated to the President, and he called on Gen. Gant for a copy of all correspondence relating to the disapproval of Gen. Hancock’s orders. What course he will take relaiive to the application for change of station is not known. The Reconstruction laws do not give any authority to interfere with orders that Grant has revoked. Astbe result of conferences already had, with a view to prepariug the defense, those iu tho ring say the President's lawyers feel perfectly satisfied with their case; that they intend to show that the whole practice for all administrations has been to remove un dcr the Constituion, and tho Tenurc-of- Office bill is an act so palpably unconstitutional, as to justify Mr. Johnson iu disregarding it, tho same as if an act had been passed, saying he should send no messages to Congress, when the Constitution says he shall. To meet Butler's and Bingham’s articles, however, thay find no precedents, and these really give them considerable torublo.

W hat Republicans S ay. Agate has again become tho regular correspondent of tho Cincinnati Gazette, and in a late letter from Washington, thus speaks of tho opinions of leading republicans : Of the temper in which tho great party that still controls tho destines of the nation, enters upon this sudden revolution in its policy, there is the less need to write here, since it is but a reflex of tbo spirit that is mirrored in the journals from every quarter. The Republicans have sought that this cup might pass from them. There has never been any serious doubt in the party as to tho guilt of Mr. Johnson, or as to his having committed impeachable offences. It has only been objected that these offenses lay rather in tho destructive spirit of his administration than his overt acts; rather in wild talk and the (fxercise of a baleful influence at the South than in any distinct and palpable violation oflaw and theConstitution. And under theso circumstances, it has been held unwise to assume the responsibility of an impoachment, when less extreme measures might obviate the danger, and tho approaching Presidential election might provide the speedy remedy. Now, however, the Republican party is without doubt or division as to its duty. Tho President has been guilty ot open, tangible violation of law, and of efforts to secure military opposition to it. He knew that Stanton came within the previsions of the Tenure-of-Office bill, and had himself acknowledged it when, in obedience to 'hat law, ho sent iu to tho Senate his reasons for suspend-

j 0 g the Secretary from office. He may have honestly thought tho law uneonsti tutional, but it was arrant usurpation for him to attempt to decide that point. It is his duty to obey all laws until the proper authority shall pronounce them invalid. To tolerate his present action would be to license anything. He evidently meant to prcvent'the the exe cutiou of the law by force. Failing to secure the support of tho army, he then resolved to defy the law without it. II this had been permittod, tho rebclhoua, States would have been up to defy the unconstitutional Reconstruction acts in a fortnight, and a new civil war might have been precipitated, from the duties which these facts imperiously prescribed, there was no escape. Congress had to impeach the President, or aband on its authority, and suflor him to become a dictator iu fact, if not in name. But, argue the Republicans, it is as wise as a matter of policy as it was imperative as a matter of duty. The party h«s been splitting up; this unites and solidifies it. There never was a more prompt popular response to tho action of the Government since the day when tho people of the loyal States sent their answer to the call for troops after Fort Sumter. Tho whole country will rejoice at the removal of this embodiment ot turmoil and lawlessness from tho Presidcutial chair. His acquittal would be disastrous to tho party; but his conviction is perfectly sure, because his judges arc swora to deal justly, and tho evidence is of record. That it is unlortuuate to assume the administration on the «ve of a Prpaidential election, and to boar tbe odium that must attach to tho inevitable failure to end all the corruption in a fortnight, is not to bo denied. But tho misfortune has its compensations. Mr. Wado is fully impressed with tho gravity of the powers to be committed to him, and will act prudently and wisely. We will have the weight of tho Executive patronage in the doubtful States. 3Iost of all, the control of the Government will at onco so cure tho completion of reconstruction in tho Southern States, and bring their loyal vote to swell the majority lor the Republican nominees; so that here, as always, tho path of duly is also the path of true policy. conuueSional. Thursday, March 5. Senate.— Unimportant business consumed the morning hour, at the close of which the Chairman pro tan, stated that according to an order adopted, all legislative and executive business must cease, and the Senate resolvo into a Court of Impeachment for the trial of the President. Ho then vacated his scat to which Chief Justice Chase was escorted by a committee of the Senate. The oath was administered to the Chief Justice by Jiistico Wilson, and by tbe Chief Justice to the Senators in alphabetical order until Mr. Wade’s namo was reached. Mr. Hendricks objected to his being sworn, on the ground that ho was an interested party in the case. 3Ir. Sherman, 31r. Sumfter, 3Ir. Howard, 31r. Thayer and others, opposed this view, while 31r. Johnson and Mr. Bayard supported it. The discussion was continued without reaching a decision until ad journment. Hocuc. Mr Eniott introduced a bill for supplying temporarily iho place of the Chief Justice of the United States, in case of his death or resignation, which was referred to the Judiciary Committee. Resolutions of the German Emigration Society of Cincinnati were presented by 3Ir. Eggleston. A banking Committee was instructed to inquire as to the expediency of amending the Banking law, so that State Banks iu process of liquidation, after the faithful payment of debts, may be relieved from making monthly statements, and from payment of tax on outstanding circulation. The cas«r of II. R. Butler, claiming a seat as Representative from Tennessee, was taken up. Mr. Judd moved that the House attend tho impeachment proceedings of tho Senate. Mr. Bingham stated that as issue was not yet joined, the attendance of managers only was necessary. 31r. 3Iyers suggested that a bill of temporary opor atiou, or until tho committee of Ways and 31cans should perfect tbeir bill ro lieving manufacturers from taxation, should be passed. 31r. Schenck objected. 3Ir. Butler’s case was then sent back to the Committee on Elections, on the motion of 31r. Paine, made yesterday. The Committee immediately reported, but no action was trken. Erastus B. Walcott, of Wisconsin; John H. Martindale, of New York; and Hugh L. Bond, of Maryland, were chosen Managers of the National Asylum lor Disabled Soldiers. Friday, March G. Senate.—The business of the morning hour was of no importance. At its expiration, the Chief Justice took his place and debate continued on tho case of Senator Wade. 3Ir. Howard made a point of order about which there was great difference of opinion. An appeal was taken from ono of the Chief Justice’s decisions, in which he was sus-

tained.

Tbe question thus settled was that the Senate was acting under its rules as a Senate and not as a Court, which opened up the prospect of a long debate. Senator Hendricks suddenly and without explanation, withdrew bis objection, and Mr. Wado was sworn. Tbe Managers of the House wore informed that the Court was organized, and they came in and demanded that the President be summoned to appear next Friday. House.—A bill was introduced providing for a subsidy to American steamboat lines for carrying the mails between this country and Europe. A bill providing for tho sale of Oregon Indian reservation lands was passed. Tho impeachment managers were authorized to sit during the session, to send for persons and papers, to administer oaths and take testimony. It was agreed to devote Saturday to general debate. Tho amount to bo paid into tho Treasury from sales of confiscated and captured cotton, under the provisions of the bill which passed the Senate recentlv is nearly $30,000,000. E. A. 1’ollard, tha historian of the Southern war, and “tho most gorgeous liar on earth," has become ono of the editors of the Now York World,

wished for edict. I am doing a pretty large country practice, and have daily use for some article of the kind. lam free to confess that I know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors that i.s so certain and speedv in its effects. On the contrary, they are uncertain iu the extreme. Aly object in writing you is to find out upon what terms I can get the medicine directly from you. If 1 can get it upon easy terms, 1 shall use a great deal of it. 1 am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of a great mnlority of the regular line of M D.’s, but 1 see no just caSse or good sense in discarding a remedy which we know to he efficient,simply because we may bo ignorant of its combination. For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which 1 may bo able to command—not hesitating because some one moiu ingenious than myself may have learned its effects first, and secured lor himself the sole right to use that knowledge. However, I am by no means au advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that Hood the country, which purport to cure all mauner of disease to which human flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms. I am, sir, most respectfully, JULIUS P. CLEMENT, M. D. BULL'S SARSAPARILLA. A Good Reason for the Captain's FaithRead the Captain's Letter and the Ltlltr from his Mother. Benton Barracks, Mo., April 30th, I860. Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the efficiency of your Sarsaparilla, and the henling and beneficial qualities it possesses, I send you the following statement of my case: I was wounded about two years ago—was taken prisoner and confined for sixteen months. Being moved so often my wounds have not healed yet. I have not sat up a mo ment since I was wounded. I am shot through the hips. My general health is impaired, and I need something to assist nature. 1 have more faith in your Sarsaparilla than in any thing else. I wish that that is genuine. Please express me half a dozen bottles, and oblige. Cai-t. C. P. JOHNSON . Sr. Louts, Mo. P. S.—The following was written April 30, 1865, by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Captain Johnson. Da. Bull—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. O. 8. Johnson , was a skillful surgeon and physician in Central New York, where he died, leaving tho above C. P. Johnson to my care. At thirteen years of ago he had a chronic diarrhea and scrofula, lor which I gave hi in your Sarsaparilla. It cukku him. I have for ten years recommended it to many in New York, Ohio, and Iowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and general debility. Perfect success lias attended it. The cures effected in some cases of scrofula and feversores were almost mirac-
