On Saturday all sorts of exaggerated rumors were afloat In regard to tbe purposes of tbe President, and one that be Had ordered out a hundred thousand troops obtained conaiderabls credence. The full reports of the situatlon in our telegraph columns will explain the condition of affairs In Washington. A resolution to Impeach the President was offered in thellouseon Saturday, referred to the Reconstruction Committee, and promptly reported back with the recommendation of all the Republican members of the.committee, that It pass. Tbe proceedings show that tbe measure will he sustained by a|»trict party vote, and that it will probably pass the House to-day, unless Iho powerful excitement which controlled tbe House on Saturday moderstesto a point that will permit dignity, decorum and a Just regard for the public Interests to have sway. No douhttheradiesl mem tiers of C#S* gross had determined, judging from the charB' ter of the speeches from that side of the House, and the inUmperance of their action, to promptly Impeach, try, condemn and depose the President. The alleged offense is the violation of a law In the attempted removal of Stanton, which, to say the least, is ot doubtful constitutionality—and a law which Stanton himself declared to bo clearly unconstitutional. In the debate upon the passage ef the law' in the Senate, several of the Republican members, in discussing the provision which applies to Cabinet officers, stated that no member of the Cabinet would remain In bis ofljoe after the President bad expressed a desire for his resignation, on account of Incompatibility, personal or eflli iai. After Mr. Hranton had been requested by the President, to resign, he held on to his pi see until the President suspended him. Upon the Senate deciding that the causes given by the President for his removal were InMitileient bo resumed bis place under circumstances with which <ho country is f-.mlllar. it will be recollected In this connection thst the two highest oflicers of the army rccom mended Stanton toieslgn, after the Senate had sustained him in bis personal controversy with the President, and he stated him«elt, that such would be bis course after that action by that body. But be has held on to the plsce, not that any good could be accomplished by it, but evidently to annoy tbe President. The course of Congress has been prompted by partisan ronsideratlons. The warfare upon the Presldentjjs parly hostility. The radical loaders charge that the President stands in the way of the accomplishment of tbolr party measures, hence be must be got out of the way. Party malice was plainly evident lu all the proceedings of the House on Saturday. ATnd some of tbe /poeches In the Honse exhibit *o much partisan vindictiveness that they will be looked upon as disgraceful to tho body that tolerated them. Tho hoidness of tho President in vindicating what bo regards to bo his constitutional lights, will command the sympathy of tho couij^, and If be had exhibited tho same spirit when he first took Issue with Congress, bn would have prevented much that has since occurred,.and Congress would not have ventured upon the experiment of Impeachment. While the Democracy feel bound to stand by tbe President In all his constitutional measures, and to sustain him In all his constitutional rights, they are not responsible for tbe acta of the President. Mr. Johnson was elected by tbe Republican party, and bo stood by that party m Congress until difference of opinion upon questions of public pnllrv forced a controversy, be insisting that he still stands upon tbe platform upon which he was elected. Tho Cabinet of the President all camo from that party, and nearly all his sppolntments have been from among these who voted for Lincoln and Johnson In ls(J4. The only obligations of tbs Democracy In the issue between the President snd 'Congress is to uphold him in vindicating the principles of the Constitution, which they will do. If impeachment Is prosecuted, as it now appears will be Hie case, the President will be tried hv a court, tho Senate of tho United State*, wh'ch has condemned him In advance What mcral effect will the judgment of snch a tilhunal have upon the coun irj ? Thi rds not a man, np matter what his political sentiments, hut will regard It as a partisan decision. If Congress should succeed in drpos'ng the 1'resident, the act can not ;<ave any oilier Ih in a demoralizing Influence. In a party view tbe measure would probably aatten a rondPton of affairs which would demand a comploto overthrow of the Infamous i»b»l which has been gi adually undermining the Constitution, until legislation is adopted in compleUvvIolalion of It and the leading mem hers of tb^ House openly proclaims that Itls revolutionary and can be justllied other ground. Undoubtedly tho President fully counted the cost of- tho step ha has taken, as he has noted throughout coolly and with premeditation. Our special telegr iph from Washington says that the President, fortillcd by tbe Constitution, fnls .coniidcnt of his ultimate triumph over faction and usurpation. The struggle Is one which will go far to shape tbs luturo character of our institutions and tbe destiny of tho country, Tho questions Involved rise above uirro party considerations, and hence cun not fail to arouse all who desire to perpetuate the free government bequeathed to as by the sacrltiivs ol a patriotic ancestry. At tbe latest nccuunts General Thomas was recognized ly the other Secretaries as acting Secretary nf War, and would to-day takopossession of the department. So the fight will be between the legislative and executive branches of tho Government. Would it not be proper, then, for the other co-ordinate brunch, tbe Judiciary, to decide tho controversy under the Conltitutlonf
Const!tutioMi Jurisdiction of tfco Low fanning Power In his ipesch before the RedlcsIBUte Convention, accepting the nomUietion for Governor, Acting Governor BikkA remarked: ••I believe thst the government of the revolted States have been utterly destroyed, and yet I designate them as States in the Union. During the war they were States in the Union, bat st tbe earns time, States in rebellion. Since the close of the war. States in anarchy, except so far as order has been preserved by the paramount authority of the United States. But tf any body elae snail contend that they are reduced to tbe condition of territories, I shall not quarrel with them about names; because we both agree that they did not tucoeed In throwing off their allegiance to the United States, and are still completely within, end subject to the law-making power of thenation, to the extent of ita jurisdiction under the Constitution.*’ Hie acting excelleny concedes in this most unequivocally, that the States denied represestation In Congress by the radical majority in that body, are States in the Union, “subject to the law making power of tbe nation to the extent ot itijuriidiction under the ConttituHon.” Those State* then, according to Barer, have tbe eame relations to the Constitution that all the other States do and that Congress cannot rightfully exercise any Jurisdiction over them except what the Con(titutlon confer* or deprive them of any right which that Instrument guarantees. After making tbe declarations that we extract above from his speech, we presume that Gov rrnor Baku will likewise admit that the legislation of Congress must be consistent with tbe letter and spirit of the Constitution. How men can be jestlfy or bow can tbe reconstruction acts of Congress be justiUed by any one who admits thajt the law-making power of the Government baa no jurisdiction bat what it derives from the Constitutionf He says the unrepresented States did not succeed in throwing off their allegiance to the United States and are still completely within and subject to tho law-making power of the nation, with the proviso, however, that that power is limited to the extent of its jurisdiction tin Jer tha Constitution. From his own stand point It con be clearly ebown that tbe reconstruction acts of Congreve violate the fundamental law of the land to wHch n’l own allegiance alike, and hence they t-ijidlct with wbat Governor Baker adxnlts to be tho rightful powers and duties of Congress. Yi'o wnl immorale a few points In which tbe reconstruction acts vloluts the Constitution: The Constitution declares thatibe President shall bo Commandnr-in-Cblel of tbe armv; the reconstruction acts declare that one of the rresldenl’s subordinates shall be Commander-In-Chief. IHe Constitution declares that the Judicial power shall extend to all raaee In law aBd equity arising under tbe instrument Itselfand tbe laws of the United State*: tbe reconstruction acts declare that tb« judicial power shall not e'xtend to atiy caea in law and equity arieidk under their sacred provisions, The Constitution declares that each State sdall be represented In Congress by two Senators and at least one Representative; the re-■on-tructlon acta declare that ten Stats* shall not be represented in Conferees at all, but so remodel their governments as to secure the ascandsney of that party !■ the future.

The following dlscrlptlon of Cooper County, Missouri, is is extracted from a letter written to a citizen of Boone County, this State, by the Clerk of the Circuit Court of the former county. It it in answer to an enquiry in relation to the health and agricultural resources of the county, and whether the drought or Insects interfered with tho crop*. Also whether political animosities had become quieted so that emigrants might bo assured efllvingin peace. We giveter&aHmextract* frem the Missouri Clerk’s letter, and It la eo satisfactory that no doubt it will Induce emi-
gration that way:
OFFICE OF THE ClRCLTT COURT,) COOPER COUNTY, MISSOURI, r Boonvillk, February 5,1868. J , Mr. Himpbon—Dear Dir: I received your favor of January 20, this morning, and proceed to answer it Immediately. Our county i- bounded on the South by the I’acltic Ktilroad, and on the .North by the
Missouri River.
We generally have about nine months of raluy weather In tho year, and such seasons travel is impossible; but then we have plenty of grass and fruit, if it is not killed by the frost tbe winter before. But sometime*, it don’t rein in the spring, summer and autumn; then we call It a dry time, and at such time* we don’t make any wheat, corn, osts, barley, rye, bay or vegetables, but acme fruit, If it was not WMeu by tbe frost the winter before, but still we have enough to supply tbe home demand, provided it Is not too great. Tne chintz bug kills off all our corn, wheat and oats, some seasons, but 1 don’t think they are as bad as the army worm, we have here, an they eat every thing dean before them. We also have the grub worm, that kills our corn and tlmotbv crop. We also have the Hessian fty, that Is very injurtonus to tbe wheat,and the potato bugls very bad In gardens; also tho cut worm, of damp, cod weather. We also have an abundance of fleas, wood tb ks, bed bugs and mosquitoes, and
_soinR bouse flies In dining room* and kltcbeni.
And tne green-headed flies make It impossible to travel through tbe prairies on horse back during tbs day, and tbe big cow flies are as bad at night In tbe timber; but 1 think the grassboppejs prevail here, as they strip every thing, from the smallest strip ot grass to leaves ol the highest trees, and All tho air
as high as the eye can reach.
We have about three or four hundred doctors in our county and all of them seem to be making a good living, that pan keep in good health. Everybody baa the chillsaad fever about six months In the year. We also, have tbe typhoid lever in tbe hot and eold weather, which generally proves fatal, and if one in a family takes it every membcrls certain to take It. There is a great many oases of consumption which Invariably prove fatal. There are some cases of scrofula, but not many, as the ague keeps the system of the Inhabitants reduced too low. Tbe spotted fever Is very bad at times here, proving fatal in uinn cases out of ten, The scarlet fever is prevalent among children during tbe winter and sprit./. The pneumonia klila a great many of our beat citizens. Whooping-cough and mcasels prove fatal, but th* health of the
county lx gooff at this time.
We have a good climate end good soil, a wealthy county, IntelligEnt men and pn-tty womea but no whiskey. We, else, have Vigilance Ccmmlttees who sotnetim>-» raise a Democrat and he is generally lowered tbe next morning and seeded down regardless of tbe season. A democrats j^liiioal opinion would net disturb him bere^lf be kept at home and never told them to any one. John* son, Henry and Pettis counties are good counties but more Vigilance Commlitees
there than here.
Hoping to see you aeon end tbit 1 have fully answered your’a 1 close. Respectfully,

—The radicals have vehemently denied a design to Africanize the South, yet we are told by tbe Washington correspondent of the Boston Journal that leading Republican* are opposed to the admission of any of the Southern State* at present, for “fear that the xchitrs. after the adminio* of three State*, j mould manage to obtain the aectndanry’’
This fl» the whole story.
—The Washingtonc correspondent of Ihe Now York S/prne give* an instance of tbe way the money of th* Government is used for eleetloneerlng purposes, khe National Executive Committer, crnslsttng of radical traitors, with Schenek, of Ohio, at their bead, have actually taken possession of, by absolute trespass, of some ot the best room* la the gapit'd snd directed a cocnidrraMcinumber of Congressional clerks, who are drawing large pay from tho United States Treasury, to give up their lime to folding and sending off rsdlcal document*. This Is downright peeuiaistion. It is embezzlement. It Is robbery. It Is Infamy. It is ridiculous. Tersely Stated.—Tbe Maine Donocrat tersely states M. Fsadleton’s policy. Itls'In “opposition to Republican policy, to save seventy-two millions of dollars a year in gfdd to the people, without any Inflitlon to the
currency whatever.’’
That’s what Mr. I'endleton’s polDy amounts to. The qupMtion that belonga right hero 1*, is it worth while to make an effort. In these days of terrible taxation, and utter stagnation In trade and buidiieas.to save ibis vast sum a year?—more than It cost to carry on every department of the Federal Government under Democratic administrations. Congress and tor “Will or the Prort.K."—At tbe last Congressional election in Kentucky the vote stood In the second district betwcaa John Young Brown and ono Samuel E. Smith, who contc.-dx his seat: Brown R.ffJ2 Smith 2,8)0 Brown’s majority 6,106 Upon tbe ground that Brown said something in 1861 or thereabouts that does not square with tho Congressional standard of “loyalty,” the House bis denied him bis seat and practically disfranchised the people of hi* district. This is respecting the “will of the people” with a vengeance. We hope the district will return Brown by a still larger majoritv, and thus rehake tbe House as did tbe people of the Louisville District by giving Rousseau, when expelled, a unanimous re-
election.
—The New York Tribune is now clamoring for the Immediate admission of Alabama. This has aroused Tburlow Weed, who. In tbe Commercial Advertieer, thus shows up Horace Greeley and his former course on this sub-
ject:
In 1860 tbs New York Tribune Invited Alabuna and other slave Htates that were dissatisfied with the Union to go out. They acted upon it* advice, and attempted to go out. It cost us more that half a million of lives and three thousand millions of dollars to put down a rebellion which tho Tribune enenuraged. And when this was finally accomplished, without paying, as Mr. Greeley proposed, four hundred millions of dollars to slaveholders, tho Tribune objected to let Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee send loyul
with the delegated, prohibit'd and reserved powers, seating b*tn as a military dictator upon the ruins of the Union and of the Stste*. A* some of tbe radical pipers pronounce Governor Baker's speech to he uaansweratde, and thst It should be accepted as tbe key note of the canvass, wo aro a little rurlous to see how they will overcome his strong declaration upon the llmtlatinai be places upon the Jurisdiction of tho Mw making power of the nation, and which, unintentionally evidently, but nsne the los* decidedly, condemns tbe usurpations of Congress in its restronstruc-
tlon legislation.
{VThe Journal charges that Mr. Knu.Kitton has furnished, In a putdlo letter, information as to the amount ot hie Investment In Government bands. Mr. Edgekton has not done that. He was charged by a radical paper with being a bondholder, and be aigucd In a public letter the public debt question from the position assigned him. He says In
his letter:
“Having answered the que*Uon>*kcdfby the Journal, from the position of a bondholder, which tthftd assigned me, 1 will add a few
words more.’*-
Tt is not a material question whether Mr. Edoehton bolds bonds or not; but If he does, then It must concede that his views are consistent with tbe plsttorm upon which be was nominated and that be regards It just for the Government to redeem Its bonds In tb* obligation* It received for them. The radical papers do not attemptto combat the argument of Mr. Bwjehton, but only attempt to show Inconsistency, or the Inconsistency of a Democrat entertaining his views In bolding bonds. In taking this position tbe radical papers admit the force of Mr. Edgkkton’h logic upon the question and this was tb* purpose of his letter. It was so irresistible that tbe Radical State Convention endorsed the plank upon tho debt question in tbe platform adopted by the Democratic gists Convention.

Wot tho Indianapolis Dally Herald. ( >n*rmla at West r«int.?» VaVay, Indiana, February 10,1868. Editor* Herald: I notice In a recent number an article on the “Morals at West Point” extracted from tbe Chicago Tribune and said to have been written by * graduate of the military academy, In which the poblic ia led to bfeHeve there are no moral* at West Point and that cadet life there has a tendency to utterly deprave those who Me annuslli zent there by the Government. v The writer says that unless there ts a “thorough re-organiaatlon of the whole course of training” (hers, vulgarity, profanity and Itcentlousness milt continue to reign in a fearful degree. We can not let this go bofore tb* American public uncorrected. West Point bas been re-organized. The svstem of maltreating tbe new cadets,or “I’.eW* (as they are still called) has been entirely abohsb'id and tbe young men entering the academy since the summer of’08 hive not been compelled either to work for the Upper classmen nor have they been in any respect molested or Interfered with. Previous to that time they were treated Just a* the writer says; but of ail tbe facte contained In his letter—facts once when the writer of them may have been there-^ not one of them Is now applicable to West Point. As one who once experienced these petty annoyances to their fullest extent, and afterward* aided to make others familiar with them, I wU any that their effect upon the “Plebes” was on the whole salutory. When new classes comp there they have to be Ulsclpltned to an astonishing degree and that in the shortest imaginable time. Y'oung men with exalted ideas of their own importance must need be brought down ton proper idea of what they have to do. Tbe method mentioned by the writer was the ben course to take and we need but refer to the graduates of tbe Academy who, during the late war, contrclled both armies. Can the writer point to any of these as his “delmuched” examples of the moral depravity of West Point. A cadet who now orders or mistreats a new cadet in tbe slightest degree'ls court martialed and expelled, Young men entering since 1866 are treated with considerate kindness, and do not suffer any of the Indlgntie* their predecessors suffered. At the table the only distinction now between fourth cl»*' men and others is that they occupy the middle scats and the bli-her classes the ends. The food is abundant and all share it alike, The cadets attend divine service in the Chapel every Sabbath; on Wednesday evening* there ia a cadet prayer meeting, and instead of becoming ‘•utterly shipwrecked,” every moral principle i» strengthened, and no college to she land teaches seir-governmcnt as much as Was* Point does. These facts 1 hare submitted la ordeslo erase an impression tbe most false that can be conceived. We will **y that there is yet ample room for reform In tho course of study and habits acquired at West Point, but every year it ii|uproaebing nearerto perfect! >n.
