TEEEE-HAUTE, INDIANA, SEPTEMBER 18,1867.
THE NEWS.
lhings
But there is something beneath the Furface of this pronunciamento which means mischief. Under the Reconstruction law tho commanders of the military districts in tho Southern States .ore vested with discretionary power, in the exercise of which it is intended that thoy shall be free of the Prosident. They are subject in those actions to no other authority than the supervision of the General in-Ohief. It was novor intended that they should be obedient to tho orders of the President. The bad faith of that officer made it necessary that, for purposes of reconstruction, the military commanders should be vested with extraordinary powers, repre* senting thoroin the authority of progress, which is the organ of the people. The proclamation is, therefore, intended to overthrow this authority, and to institute therefor the imperious wtll of the President. The document is a rehearsal of Executive prerogative.: It rlairns ,itbat the President is Coavmaudor-.in-Ch|ef, atid that, whether rightfully ior wrongfully, the. officers of theaErtiy and navy must submit to his wiib- Jn issuing this mandate, the Presidont sots aside altotogether tho authority of Corigross and the force of tho laws. Tho laws give to tho military, commanders authority to govern according to'their best judgment.
Tho President asserts -You roust govern as I direct. You arc-officers under "me, and I, and net Congress,,, must bo
"obeyed.1'
This is tb-o nearest approach
to an absolute refusal to execute the Reconstruction law which the President bus yet reached. His removal ol laithful offi-. cursshoW'id a bad temper,and a duc-mtan with the patriotic measures establishedt for the restoration of the States which were in rebellion. Bul»-tiis proclmation strikes at the authority and usefulness of the law, and,.by endeavoring to frighten tho officers of the army and navy into obedience to autocratic demands, is a pernicious obstruction. What is to bo its effect? Most probably: very iittle. The officers of the army-and navy are no serfs of the Executive. Tliey lepresent the nation arid not the man woo sits in the Providential chair.

THE recent amnesty proclamation of Mr. Johnson is being republished and commended by all the democratic papers of the North, and almost all the ex-r§bel papers of the South, as a remarkably patriotic document, full of wisdom and sa* gacity.

We go on painfully until we reach the sixth .whereas, which informs us oi a fact not previously know,], io-ioit:—that there had been impediments and obstructions in North Carolina aid South Carolina, to the the enforcement of the laws of the United States and the decrees of a United States' Court. So far as this may apply lo North Carolina, in which a decree of a court was suspended by General Sickles, we' can understand what the President is driving at but in relation to any such proceedings in South Carolina, we havo no information. But the President declares that similar things have been done there, and he says that there are reasonable and well grounded apprehensions that a repetition of them will be attempted, which justifies, be thinks, the promulgation of his official caution. But the impediments and obstructions which took place in North Carolina, came1 from an officer appointed by the President, who wafr charge of the military district composed of the States of North and South Carolina, General Sickles, who is accust'd of this dereliction, has been removed, his reasons for the acts mentioned being unknown, and General Canby has been appointed in his place. Has the President heard anything from the latter which makes it apparent that he ia about-to imitate: the example of his predecessor Or is this proclamation meant to be a funeral oration over Sickles, in tho stylo of Marc Antony's over the dead body of Csesar? The President levels this document at tho army and navy. Bo informs the officers therefore that he is the commander-in-chief, and declares' that his orders are to be implicitly followed. Under ordinary circumstances, it would requiro no proclamation to enforce the plain pbligation of the commander and the command.
OUR CHOIR.
*Ho:a sraos,
Our choir would scarcoly bo excused Even as a band of raw beginners All mercy now must bo refused
To,such a set of.croaking sinners.
If David, when his toils were ended, Had heard these blockheads sins before him, To us his pSalms had ne'er d-scfended,
In furious mood he itrould have tore'em.
Thef luckless Israelites, when takenBy csrtaiu cruel-tyrant's order, Were asked to sing, by Joy forsaken, On Babylonian river's border.
Oh 1 'had they' sung in notSS liko these, Inspired by stratagem or fear, They might have set their hearts r.t ease.
The devil's soul had stayed to hear I
No grumbling bull or growling bear .Is needed while our basso thrives No screeming loon n«ed wake the air "While our Soprano's throat survives.
He snarls and snorts and snuffles through, As though the notes bad bit and stung him She aims to hit the farthest pew,
And show the voice they've got among'em.
And so she drawls in barbarous timo, Prolongs her 3hrieks and sounds appaling Each, note a fraud, each.yell a crim •,
Each hymn a mass of hideous squalling.
Our alto, wheezy, crude and flat Explodes in wild sepulchral tones Now emulates the midnight cat,
Now chills the soul with dismal groans.
Our other alto, bright and sweet, Sings only when the notion takes her, Or when her beau is in his seat,
Or when the sense of duty makes her.
One tenor with a spacious nose Fills that, and thinks his duty done.. Ko matter how the organ blows,
Nor how the frantic metre* run.
Another rolls his milky eyes, As though the roof gave inspiration Alas if Heaven should hear his cries,
He's doomed to instant strangulation
And then the being who presides At all this whooping, frightful row, The organ man whose form bestrides
This Babel, built, the Lord knows how—
His sole endeavor seems to be To test tho bellows blower's wind, To bre-ik the hi^art of harmony,
With all his soul and strength combined.
And so he plucks the noisiest stops. And bangs'away with leet and muscle, Till when the game is up, ha drops
Undone and beaten with the tussle.
And meanwhile we, the heirs of Zion, The chosen ones—the meek and lowly— Must listen as though Judah's lion
Were making all this roly-poly 1
For me, I hate the cursed no'se, The usual psalms, tho organ's olatter I can't discern angelic joys
In such a crash and crash of mattor.
I long to pull the basso's nose 1 To tell those females what' decorum I ache to tread the tenor's toes,
And flog the organ man before 'em.
The Impeachment.
The impeachment of Andrew Johnson seems inevitable, for the national safety requires it. Instead of executing tho laws of the land, he daily violates them, and shields himself behind the shallow opinions of an Acting Attorney-.General whose personal antecedents and inexperience in legal knowledge do not justify us in accepting his interpretation of the Reconstruction acts, instead of becoming the Moses of the colored race, the President is indeod their Pharaoh. Every efiort of the people,,through their national legislature, to secure tho freedom and improve the condition of tho negro, and tho safe and permanent restoration of the Southern States to tho Union, has been opposed by bim^with the same spirit of obstinas cy that caused tho Egyptian monarch to disregard'the petitions oi the enslaved Israelites. Congress, in proposing tho Constitutional Amendment?, sought a moderate means of settling tho question. Few sane men in the Union to-day attempt to deny their justice, and gladly would tho South ratify them, were it not too late. But Mr. Johnson did not advocate them, becau.es they nnnulled his policy. Tho conquered Stales, upheld by the Chief Magistrate, r-cssed resolutions moro or less inflammatory, and against the acceptanoe of the admendments. Congress, at its ntx session passed tho Military Reconstruction bill., Again the President prevented the exexcution of tho mea=uro under tho shadow of constitutional reasons, and the two Houses were obliged to hold an extraordinary session in tho boat of summer, for the purpose of securing the fulfillment of this law, by placing the entiro power over tho military districts in the hands of an executive of undoubted loyalty. Still is the President hardened, and by hi3 acts of usurpation is hourly doing his utmost to defeat the intentions of the representatives of the peoph- and the' moro stringent the provisions of Congress, the moro hardened does he become, until there is no resource left but to impeach him. Like tho photographer, who cannot see beyond the view pictured by his lens, 30 Mr. JOHNSON cannot corns pass tho work of reconstruction save through tho narrow vista of his own pol-. icy.
But the impeachment must depend upon the voice of tho people. If tho coming fall election result favorably to the so-called Democracy,Yaen the Presidont will have triumphed, th South attained its supremacy, tho payment of the national obligations become improbable, and tho assumption of tho Confederate debt quite certain. Such cannot be the future of our country. Tho two hundred thousand patriots who died in the conflict with secession—the countless wounds that have maimed and disSgyredour surviving vetprans—the untold treasure spent in the struggle for human freedom—surely were not In'vam. Tho American people will not do so great a wrong to themselves, to a disenthralled race, and to the world, as to yield their power into the hands of traitors, who, unsuccessful in the field, are seeking to destrdy, by treachery and stratagem, the liberties that have been so doarly purchased. No! in 1866, for a lesser grievance the people decided by their ballots, that the cau.-e of justice and freedom shouli be sustained, and now, with so much at stake that men tremble at the thought that a cause of such priceless value could possibly be lost, they will mar^h with one voice to the po^ls and scatter their opponeots to the winds. Then impeachment will come—tho Nemesis that Andre# Johnson so richly deterves.

"A Stubborn
Faet.""
Under the above caption, the Journal of yesterday contained the follow remarks "The bond-holder who owns his th ousands in bonds, rides in fine carriages over the paved streets and gravel roads, but pays not one cent of tax towards building or repairing the same. But the poor man who owns a small cottage, and the farmer who owns 40, 80 or 160 acres of land, is taxed and made to build tho streets and gravel the roads. It is because of such class legislation that the democrats favor the paying of the bonds in greenbacks, that*taxation may be made equal between the farmer, banker and mechanic."
The copperheads have th» audacity to charge on the Union men of the country the cause of our national indebtedness and the exemption of United States bonds from State and municipal taxation. Tho facts are so overwhelmingly strong and plain that all can understand them, and it may be well to restate them for popular information. The Democrats" were voted out of power by the Republicans in 1860. The controlling portion of the Democratic party would not consent to the peaceable inauguration of Abraham Lincoln, and that noble patriot, now sainted martyr, had to be inaugurated surrounded by United States cannon and bayonets, with General Scott in command. Nearly every "Democratic" Stale united to form a rebel government, and declared war against the Union. A war of nearly five years to make the "Democrats" submit to tho lawful authority of the Republic cost more than 300,000 precious live3 and 4,000,000,000 of dollars, leaving a national indebtedness of nearly 2,800,000,000 of dollars. Since the close of the war the Union Government has reduced the national indebtedness to not far from 2,500,000,000 dollars. That the Democrats caused this immense sacrifice of human life and rolled up this national debt cannot be denied. History will proclaim it in burning periods, from which there can bo no appeal. To feed and clothe the Union armies it was necessary to raise money without delay.— The strongest inducements had to be given to those who held the money, or it could not be had. The bonds were exempted from State and municipal taxation for two reasons, either of wRich would have boen conclusive.— One reason was, the absolute necessity of the Government demanded the money:— To get the money the holders of the same must have the assurance that their securities should not be taxed to death after they had loaned to the nation. Europe and the loyal States were appealed to.— Hostile influences in the loyal States and in Europe were exerted against the sale of the bonds. The majority of the money kings and political kiags, aristocrats and our traditional enemies in Europe, were against the taking of the Union bonds. They wished to see the American Republic torn to atoms in the terrible storm. The purse of the nation must be replenished by the most sacred pledge of the nation, to be sacredly kept if the nation should be saved. The strong pledge of the Republic thus given brought into its treasury such a AJW of money as the world never saw equaled. The Republic was saved by that wonder, ful aid which its purse gave to its sword. Whatever pledges of national faith these bonds carried with: them must be redeemed. He is a traitor and a villain who seeks to have the national faith broken. The other reason why the United States bonds are not subject to State and municipal taxation is that the Constitution of tho United States will not allow it to be done. As early as 1819 the Supreme Court of the United States decided that the United States bonds could not la subject to State or municipal taxation. That great and noble man of Revolutionary days— John Marshall—appointed by President Aams in 1801, was Chief Justice. Mr. Marshall died in 1835. R. B. Taney was appointed in his place, and under him the Supreme Court unanimously maintained the same opinion. The entire Court, from the earliest days of the Republic to the present time, regardless of the political views of its members, have decided that under the Constitution of the Union, the bonds of the nation could not be taxed by States, cities and towns.
To seek to repudiate the solemn agreement made with the holders of the bonds is to become guilty of moral and legal villainy which will receive the scorn of every honest citizen. IT WOULD BE ALSO AN INDORSEMENT OF TREASON AGAINST THE VHRY LIFE AND FAITH OF THE REPUBLIC, inasmuch as it proposes to repudiate the Constitution. It would be putting the whip in the hands of our European enemies and enable them to lash us through the civilized world. This last edition of copperheadism is the meanest and most contemptiblo its authors have over put forth.

Three pieces have been captured from the chess-board— Stanton, Sheridan, Sicklea-and three stronger pieces do not romain upon our side. Grant has made one or two "checks," but the President has avoided them and taken our pieces. The trouble with Congress and Grant is that they have played too easy a gams, with his Ex. cftlieiicy. Thoy

him, but don't get ahead* Johnson moved nearly all of his friends into good places last Congress, and all of his fading antagonists out of place. We call this splendid play, and he is strong enough to do more mischief. Grant aeems to feel that Congress did not giva him enough power, and his friends urge that if he is powerless it is because Congress left him so. The President did not think this when he wrote his veto, expressly complaining that most of hia authority had been transferred to Grant.— Congress did not think so when it passed the bill of which Sheridan complained. If Grant is in doubt, it is, we fear, oecause some "astute lawyer', has been unsettling him.
Still the responsibility is with Grant, and it Is so refreshing to find military men submitting to responsibility that we perhaps ought to be content. W« feel that his heart is right and that he will do all he can. At the same time a man who surrenders tho powers which Congress strove to impose upon him can do but little. In the case of Sickles, for instance, Grant permits the President to plainly override him in the interpretation of th's law, and allows himself to be rebuked in the removal of his subordinate. Suppose the President directs Canby to suspend the General Order No. 29J for which Sickles was removed. What is Grant to do We may bo told that he issued sn order to the commanders to permit th« orders of their predecessors to stand. But he also issued an order to Shoridan to re port to Washington to consult on public busine33. The President, afraid that somo of us might cheer "Little Phil.," order him to tho Indian country. Sheridc:! goes, and Grant's order falls like a cn:p September leaf. So it will be with
Gi.-r'-
eral Order No. 10, with Throckinoif *. and Welles, with the whole recoDsir^cmovement. Between tho haste and crudaness of Congress, and what had better be called tho extreme amiability and :n soientiousnuss of Grant, there is no lav. but Johnson's whim for the Southern States, and our champion is only an snz ious, earnest, protesting soldier, who Rl best does not say much, and whoss po^-cr ia limited to signing hims*,f "by order ot tho President," General of tho Army Grant will do us good in one way. He will save tho public money, and "oppjso the thievos. So far as his influence iz heeded it will be healthy. But this is all
Thus tho game goes on, the President playing with resolution, shrewdness, cr. ergy. Congress is away, and wo pioce at« ter piece removed, while the enemies oi the country shout and cheer. Thus, fear, it will be until within a week oi" tii? meeting of Congress, when Mr, Johnson will suddenly become conciliatory, aro kind, and wheedling. All the promisee he has made and broken will be repeated, and certain nervous people's c-.a-in:. a .i uncles, and brothers will be placed iu .:tflce.

lost in ofHcial horse-jockeying, unless pu Ho opinion becomes resolute and viguaat. Just now the President holds the game, and loudly declares he will play 'it, Cor.-' gross apd country whether or no. Tii'hand that might make a check-mate powerless. We do not imagine that ?„ny circumstance can arise in which lbs President may not overrule Gen. Grant. A Rebel Deputy Marshal 'of tho Ucitsi States is more powerful to-day tb-i.-. the General of the Army. The removal c: Sickles shows that. We think the:o ii one move that would hava endel business. Suppose, when tho Pro-idr.:'. directed the military commanders praot cally to disobey Grant's order and tr.tik-.-and unmake such regulations as tt pleased, the General had. said to the rrident, "By command of the Congrec-s cl the United States, in law plainly ATw. I decline to have the powers espies.?! delegated to mo ia any way amended, misconstrued, or limited, and thtT?:^rs respectfully refuse to isyte an cider compels me to violate my duty." Wh^ would have followed Grant would ?.vo done just what tho country and C-.-ngreij want, what tho law in spirit directs, an:, what he can only be excused from coinon the plea that he is a part of tha Execu tive—a hand, finger, or foot—anu or.lv amenable to such laws as the Prrndsst permitted him to respect.
Perhaps wa take a wrong view ci' thmatter. We write rather to st&to e.-.s.i and suggest inquiry without givinsr absolute advice.
