National Ecjmbltcan > A.XJCHJSTA. Q-A.. WEDNESDAY MORNING. t March 4, IS** 7* For PRESIDENT Os the United States : ULYSSES S. CRAMT. From our own Correspondent.! FROM WASHINGTON. The AlUgtJ I'turpaliom hy lit President—Hole tkt Piet Fail fit—An limit Kiev o/ t\» Scheme Tkt Object Sought to It Accomplished ly Johnson —- The Question of Impeachment-Effect upon the Country —Scene and Incident—Affairs at the War Department. Washington, March 1, 1667. Os the last public action of the bold had man, now occupying the White House, and the steps taken to thwart his schemes to override the laws and inaugurate a reign of anarchy throughout the whole Re public, you have already been advised by telograph. The secret parts of the plot and some of the surroundings remain to be told. In the suspension of Mr. Stanton, aud the appointment of General Grant as Sec retary of War ad interim, there was more significance than even the most intimate friends of the Executive imagined. That the object was to circumvent Congress, every one hereabout knew ; but, that the deliberate violation of the law, or any overt act was predetermined, few, if any, even of the President’s opponents, be lieved. Yet snch was the case. Grant, with his characteristic reticence, without denying it, had led the President to believe that he was as easy to mould to his use, ns clay in the hands of the potter ; hence, he entrusted to him the chief position in the new programme. Johnson was so mistaken in nis man as to be taken entirely by surprise when apprised that the War Department had been surrendered. He flew into a violent passion, and for a time was com pletely beside himself; for days he brooded over the situation in sullen silence, listening only to the counsels, of men whose past career had been antagonistic to the welfare of the country. His own dark purposes were well concealed. The War Depart ment, as is well known, since Mr. Johnson’s fall, on the 22d of February, 1866, has been a constant obstacle in his way; a supple tool in possession of that Depart ment, and also in direct command ol the Army, would enable the Commander-in- Chief to resist to almost any despotic act to carry out his purposes. Bo Stauton must be got rid ol at any cost. What were their purposes ? They were to prevent the Con gressional plan of reconstruction from being successful, and to make himself a necessity to the Democratic party, thereby securing a nomination ior the succession. Now as to the development of the plot. Lorenzo Thomas, an officer who has grown gray in the service, was, in an evil hour, tempted to attempt the control of the War Depart ment, and place its vast resources at the disposal of the President. To get rid of Grant, Sherman and George H. Thomas were each in turn tempted by exalted rank. Had either accepted, undoubtedly charges would have been trumped up against Grant, so that no embarrrassmeut could arise through his interference. The people do not realize how much they owe Sherman and Thomas for the peace enjoyed to-day. These distin guisbed men failing him, other military men were sounded, but with the single ex ception of Lorenzo Thomas not one would join in the conspiracy. The time selected for this bold move was propitious—the day before the assembling of the National Democratic Committee at the Capital, ilie time to strike was rapidly approaching, but the arrangements were incomplete ; it nevertheless became necessary to do some thing or make an inglorious retreat and sink into insignificance; hence the Presi dent used the only man he had, and, in direct violation of the law, issued an order for the removal of Stanton, and appointed Lorenzo Thomas Secretary of War, ad interim. The movement surprised the Democrats quite as much as it did the Re publicans. In the Capitol there was no turmoil, but leading men of both parties, with blanched faces' expressing more than they dare permit their lips to utter, col lected in knots in the passages, in the com mittec rooms, and wherever any privacy could be had, and conversed together in subdued tones. It was a relief even when several prominent Republicans suddenly left the Capitol and rode towards the War Department. The countenance of every man bore the deep impress of the struggle going on within—the ashy paleness, the compressed lips —the solemn silence, told more plainly than words, that a crisis in onr national affairs had been reached. The advent in the Capitol of a St. Arnaud or a Cromwell would not, perhaps, at that time, have made the scare more impressive. The President’s communication was read in both Houses in silence. But it was easy to be seen that the Republicans were once again united. The Sonatc glided mechani cally into Executive Session, and in the House a resolution to impeach was pre sented. The result you know. That night—the 21st—nearly every mem ber of the Democratic National Committee arrived. They at a glance saw the situa tion, and notwithstanding a strenuous effort was made, not only refused to have any thing to do with endorsing Mr. Johnson, bat went so far as to wipe out of existence the local District Democratic Executive Com mittee which had been temporarily man aging the affairs ot the National Committee at this point. The significance of this is to be found in the fact that this committee had committed itself to Johnson. In the opinion of a great many people, this refusal to en dorse President Johnson prevented blood shed. Standing alone, he is as cowaidly as powerless. With a political party at his back, he would not have hesitated to inau" urate civil war, which would have been the result had Lorenzo Thomas been made to carry out bis promise to the President, "to take possession of the War Department at all hazards.” The D resident finding himself abandoned on the 22d, made haste to explain away his conduct in another communication to Con gress. It was too late. He has committed the orert act—more than this, he has opened the eyes of the people to the fact that be is a dangerous man to be entrusted with power, and his removal from un office ho has so long disgraced is a foregone conclusion. The thousand and one telegrams sent from this point as to the great excitement prevail ing were exaggerations. There has been a deep under-current of feeling, hut, outside of the lower orders, this feeling has not been manifested in any boisterous demonstrations. The military, it is true, were instructed as to their duty, kept iu quarters, and held well in hand to be ready to act, at a moment s notice, to suppress any illegal act. But, since the 22d, Uior# been no need o>r even these precaution*. There has b**« bereasa or change in the guard at the Department, at baa been currently reported. Indeed, at no time since the 21st would a stranger passing through the city have die covered anything unusual was going on, unless the fact.could be gathered from the great number of "Extras" tssued by the local press. The reason fur this state of things may be found in the fact that the Democrats, as a party. declined to take any stock iu Mr. Johnson, and the Republicans foel stroug enough, even in this centre of Itebeldom, to preserve the peace. Their dis position to do this was tested whetw the Fortieth assembled. The business of the War Department lias at no time been interrupted, and Mr. Stanton has been daily officially recognized as Secretary Os War by the Secretary of the Treasury. Only to-day Mr. Stanton had a requisition of $500,000 passed by Mr. McCulloch to pay off the troops in California. The discharge of General Thomas yes terday took every one by surprise- Mr. Carpenter, counsel for Mr. Stanton, asked to have tho considuratioti of the case post poned for one day, on account of illness. Mr. Merrick, in his haste to servo Presi dent Johnson, made application for a writ of habeas corpus, with the view, doubtless, to bring up the question as to the constitu tionality of the Tenure-of Office Act, be fore Congress has time to arraign the Pres ident for trial. This was thwarted by the discharge of Gen. Thomas. There was some sharp practice on both sides. To-dav, Mr. Johnson says he shall apply for a writ of quo warranto, and failing in this, a mandamus will be resorted to. A third way ol proceding he has in view, which he refuses to disclose. The Committee of the House, having the impeachment in charge, do not propose to let the matter sleep in their hands, and Mr. Johnson will bo arraigned for trial at an early day. It is worthy of notice that impeachment does not upset the business of the country as was predicted by Democratic stump orators and would-be wise editors. Indeed tho appearances are that the unsettled state of. the impeachment question, rather than the impeachment itself, was the disturbing element. The business people of the coun try now know what to expect. With a clear majority of six in the Senate, after throwing out all the doubtful Republicans, no one can fail to see the result, for the President admits his guilt; but no such admission is needed. Leading Democrats now say, Mr. John sou is none of us—he is your man, elected by Republican votes. It is to be hoped the Republican party will not again bo guilty of the folly of attempting to make an honest man out of a Democrat by placing him in office. The last attempt of this kind has proved a decided failure. Capital, A Broad Hint. The Macon Journal says they arc “listen ing for tlic tap of the drum and the first shot that will tell bf an armed collision between hostile forces.- at Washington.” We beg our Southern friends to be careful about keeping their cars on the stretch too much listening for these tilings. They will find them inconveniently long if they are not careful. There is nothing that grows faster than ears under such circum stances. The South will do well to quit “listening” and go to work, says the New York Times. Henry Clay on Impeachment- A private letter from Henry Clay, writ ten in September, 1840, has been handed to the New York Sun, as possessing in ono of its passages a remarkable application to the events of the present day. That pas sage is as follows : I rejoice in all the popular movements by which the current year is so much distinguished demonstrating a fixed determination of tho people to dismiss faithless aud incompetent rulers. And I rejoice with you in tho prospect of their speedy and ignominious dismission. This is curious, to say the least, and will be read with interest by the former friends of its author. Impeachment. The press represents the heart as well as the brains ol the people. No Republican paper fails to approve impeachment; and of the independent journals, none question the right of Congress, if they doubt the policy. The New York Times is an exception. The Democratic press criticizes, but acquiesces. Some, like the Buffalo Courier, are frank enough to say : “Impeachment is within tho law, and must be submitted to.” All of them know this fact, and will accept it after some bluster and bravado. The Law of Impeachment. Asa matter of information at this crisis, we present the text of the law of impeach ment as it is found in tho Constitution of the United States. It will be seen that Chief Justice Chase will preside at the trial. The provision was made in view of the qjanifest impropriety of committing to the Vico Prosioent (himself in the lino of succession) the conduct of a proceeding which might result in making him Presi dent ; and more, the Speaker of the Senate need not necessarily be a lawyer—the Chief Justice always must be : Article I.—Sec. 2. The House of Rep resentatives shall choose their Speaker and other officers, and shall have the sole power of impeachment. Art. I.—Sec. 3. The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments I When sitting for that purpose they shall be on oath or affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Jus tice shall preside, and ao person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the members present. Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office and dis qualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States; but the party convicted shall, never theless, be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment, and punishment according to law. Art. ll.—Sec. 4. The President, Vico President, and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. m The Tide in Hisiuy. Gen Stcodman has always been regarded as a staunch, unflinching friend of the President, who has generally been sup posed nnxioos to make him Secretary of War. Yet at a recent celebration in New Orleans the Genera), in giving a tnnst, “ Tho President of the United States, - ’’ took occasion to say, in a “ very marked and significant manner.” thut it was a *‘ compliment to the office, and not to the man.” And at a subsequent stage of tho proceedings lie proposed “ throe cheers for Gen. Grnnt.” Tho lido is ria ng. From the Atlanta New Bra.] State Constitutional Convention Atlanta, oa., March 2, 1868. The Convention met, the President pro tern., non. J. L. Ddnsiso, in the ohair.

Mr. Editor :—l see it stated that that staunch old salt, Mr. Gideon Welles, is going to rally to the protection of the Presi dent with his four hundred marines. Do you know if that party is entirely made up ? I would like very much to belong to Gideon’s Band. Here's my heart and here’s my hand. I want to rally to the rescue a little. lam competent. I have been to sea a good deal, aud have seen some service as a boarder on shore ; besides, I have some en tertabiing stories to relate, which I have never got anybody to believe yet, and I wish to tell them to these marines. We can gain the victory iu this enterprise. In the old times there were only three hun dred noble Democrats in Gideon’s Band, and they triumphed. Every Democrat took a horn. Every Democrat carried his own jug. Just arm us four hundred modern Democrats as we liaTe been armed for three thousand years ; give us a jug apiece and sound the tocsin of war! Avast!

In this you arc mistaken. An old negro woman of this place on Satur day last passed one which by actual com parison with the Hayes’ worm, beats it by thirty-two links. This worm was taken to Savannah, to be sent, in company with the “ Have* Worm,” to tho museum in New York, This old woman is from middle Georgia. She says that when “Mr. Sher man’s army” “came along” she quit her old master and followed it to Savannah. The day she left her master, she Btole a large linked gold chain from her young “Missus,” and being hard pressed, she swallowed it for security. She insists that the gold chain turned into a tape-worm, just ono like Mr. Hayes passed. She insists that those who stole and swallowed finger rings, passed riny-worms.

SPECIAL NOTICES- ~ “ GREAT TRIUMPHS OF ANIMAL MAGNETISM IN ATLANTA, OA.! ‘•Truthis Mighty and Most Prevail.” Atlanta, Ga., February 12, 1868. I have been a hopeless invalid fer tho weary epaoe of ten or twelve years, laboring under a combination of dreadful diseases, which have long since been pronounced INCURABLE. I had of late grown rapidly worse, until three days since I was brought to this city on a bed, being en tirely unable to sit up, for the purpose of consult ing the far-fatnod Prof. ROBERTS. Afier the first treatment, which was only a lew minutes, I was free of ail pain and able to walk anywhere, and to-day I feel so well und strong I can scarce ly realize that I am the same being who was so foeble and suffering so much three days since. I can never express my heartfelt gratitude to the man whose wouderful skill has thus relieved me of so much inexpressible suffering. May God bless tho Doctor wherever be goes, is my humble prayer.

To whom it may concern : This will certify that for eight months past I havo been afflicted with Neuralgia in the right aide of the face, and most of tho time suffered most excruciating pain ( during which time I have sought relief in vain from the regular medical profession; and I fur ther certify that I was relieved the first time I was treated by Prof. ROBERTS, and apparently permanently cured after being treated the third time. I most confidently recommend him to afi similarly afflicted. J. B. LANIER. U. S. Hotel, Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 20, 1868. This certifies that I have suffered much with Neuralgia for two years past; and for two weeks previous to my being treated by Animal Mag netism, by Prof. R OBERTS, at tho U. S. Atlanta, Ga., January Ctb, 1868, I had beeu suf fering inexpressible agonies.
