Proposition to Impeach the President.
In a grave and labored article, the Chicago
Times undertakes to show that Sir. Johnson
ought to be impeached and removed from
office for treason, bribery and other high
crimes and misdemeanors. It not being
necessary in this instance to give to the plain
words of the Constitution new and meta
physical definitions, the Tribune quotes
faithfully the clause in that instrument which
provides that for the aforementioned offences
the President may be impeached. So far,
then, the radicals have legal warrant for the
proposed proceeding. The next thing to do
is to find the facts on which to base an im
peachment. In this particular, also, the
promoters of this project are fortunate.,
They need not employ detectives to noose
out some secret iniquity, nor import per
jurers from Canada to swear to inconsistent
lies. Most of the acts for which Mr. John
son is threatened with punishment are known
to the whole country, and if put upon his
trial he would not have the hardihood to
deny them. So far, then, the way is clear.
All that is now required is to find a court
which will take the same view of the law and
facts that the Chicago Times does. Now, as
the House of Representatives prepares the
articles of impeachment, and the accused is
triod by the Senate, and, as both these bodies
have over and over again declared the most
extravagant propositions to be sound Con
stitutional law, there is no reason for sup
posing that they will hesitate to endorse the
Tribune's views. Really, then, the impeach
ment of the President would appear to be a
very feasible thing. As we have before re
marked, the questions discussed by the
Tribune are very simple. It insists, in the
first place, that the mere surrender of the
Confederate armies does not of itself make
peace; that the President himself is exercis
ing powers which he would be impecched
for assuming if we were at peace; and

“It is plain, therefore, that notwithstanding the sus

fact, one of rebellion.”
There can be no peace, we are further as

to the Union by the act of Congress. We

is a very deep interest manifested in many parts of
tie country in favor of this bill. The boards of trade
c' mauv of the leading Northern cities have reconi-
meD( jed a bill of this kind, and from the South the
repreFOutativeB are very strongly in favor of some sys-
•:m of t!>-* kind. This power is expressly granted in
fuv constitution. It has usually been suffered to re-
n. i:n in abeyance. The great idea which pervades
•jus Dili is that any one, upon giving up his property to
i;- creditors shall be discharged from further lia
bility.
Mr. Train bull, in his speech on the veto of the Civil
Bights Bill, amona other things, says:
•• There were some members of Congress who ex-
the opinion that in the reorganization of the
rebellions States the right of suffrage should be ex
tended to the colored men, though this was not the
y-. vdiling sentiment of Congress."
This is an important statement, and if we aro to
'T lit it, tho majority in Congress do not insist upon
■ ; ed roiilra^e. If thi9 be a truth, then what is the
cl-Mcla to reorganization ? I think the great difflcul-
tv i% tlit this party are not willing to let the South
ii \t that increase of political power which she would
tw entitled to after the next census. They want to
regulate tins matter by some amendment to the cou-
f.irur.vn. for some other reason this xiarty desire
to keep this question of reconstruction open, until
th' v have Borne additional light from experience as to
A working of free labor at the South, and the gen-
■ r*l operations ol the social ana political machine.
Thoy v. ant time in order to determine what finally
Congress has no light
their representatives have seats on the floor. He de
mands that rebels shall participate iu the national
councils in making those laws which are to constitute
our treaty of peace with the rebellion. This is, in
principle, treason, for it is giving aid and comfort to
the enemies of the United States. It is Buying to
them, Congress has no power to legislate for you until
it admits you to vote in Congress. It is enoouragiug
them to resist the attempt by Congress to impose
such terms us Congress may deem proper as the
guarantees of future peace. It is giving the power of
the highest officer ox the government to the public
enemy during a state of war, and is as much worse
than the treason of Benedict Arnold as the office of
President iu higher than that of Major General. We
believe, therefore, that the President should, be im
peached for high treason for his attempts by his mes
sage, his vetoes, and other official acts, to secure the
admission of representatives in Congress from States
and communities with which he concedes that the
Government la still at war."
The next charge on which he ought to be
brought to justice is that of bribery. The
Tribune thus lays down the law:
"A second ground of impeaeUment, named In the
Constitution, is bribery. It is not essential to bribery
tint the bribe shall be paid to the officer himself.
Bribery is seldom conducted in that way. It is suf
ficient if, with his knowledge and approval, they are
paid to some subordinate, or confidant, or intimate
friend, for whom tho officer entertains such personal
regard as will induce him, for whatever reason, to
grant the favor for which the bribe was given. As
nearly aa the public have been permitted to know, this
state of facts baa prevailed at the White House, and
constitutes the whole business of pardon brokerage."
Ua:
In support of the position here taken, the
Tribune alleges that a pretty woman—“the
sources of whose influence over the Presi
dent are unknown, but. whose sobriety and
chastity have both been impugned”—re
ceived two bundled dollars for procuring a
pardon from the President. Concerning Lhe
tuisdemcauors lor which he should be held
to answer, the Tribune asks:
tre is a latent reeling of great hostility againft
auilan remaining in Mexico. The knowledge of
■ intensity of this aentlment prompted Mr. Ban
croft at a singularly inappropriate time.in the delivery

we should think that none but au idiot
would dream of impeaching the President on
the grounds set forth in the Tribune. But
we must also confess that the proposition it
self, and the arguments by which it is en
forced, are very similar to many which have
heretofore been endorsed by Congress, and
may very well be sanctioned by that body
as being in accordance with the Constitution
as it has been interpreted by both Houses.—

The Proposed Increase of the Tariff.
It needs no seer to disoover tliat affairs generally in
the Northern States are approaching a oriels. While
tho politicians are pursuing a course which they ad
mit is likely to lead to internecine war among them
selves, a general apprehension of a financial crisis is
felt by all classes. The New York Sun, which repre
sents the interests of the laboring class of New York,
alluding to one of tho mauy expedients wrhich have
been proposed to avert the impending financial crash,
says:
The Revenue Commissioners, in their series of
reports upon financial matters, have made some valua
ble suggestions for tho consideration of Congress. In
their last report, however, they recommend a policy
which we hope Congress will emphatically reject.
They suggest that in order to avoid an apprehended
panic. Congress shall immediately p'ass a resolution
lor increasing the present tariff fifty per cent for the
period of ninety days. All' the journals that are
wedded to the manufacturing interests are eager for
the adoption of that policy. The Pittsburg Commer
cial, speaking for the iron interest, declares that the
adoption of a higher tariff is necessary to save the
country from financial ruin, and appealing, asks
Congress to act upon the subject at once. We hope
that Congress will not save the country in that way.
Iu fact, between the apprehended panic mid tha in
crease of fifty per cent, on the tariff, we think the
panic rather the leas of the two evils. What would
be the effect of the proposed measure? It would shut
out the competition of foreign manufacturers; enable
those at home to increase their prices to the extent of
fifty per cent., and consumers would be obliged to pay
just fifty per cent, more lor their goods than they now-
pay. In short, the plan is to take money oat of the
pockets of the consumers, and to pay it to manufac
turers, in order to save the latter class from losing a
part of the immense profits they reaped during the
— v- if a financial crmilt (‘‘in he. averted nnon
late war. No, if a financial crash can be averted upon
no other terms than these, then let it come, and let
high price* of commodities, high rents, and every
thing else that i* inflated, tumble down to their legiti
mate level. Manufacturers and dealers have had
everything to suit them for the last five years, and
they now growl because they cannot sooure a com-
pliano# with their new demands.
Heavy Frauds Discovered at Nashville.—David
Henderson, of Nashville. Tenn., has been arrested on
the charge of being implicated in heavy frauds against
the Government, occurring in the management of the
horse and mnle corrals in that vicinity. Mr. Phillips
title tx.-— .
and Green Rearling were afterwards arrested on
charges of defrauding the Government. The Board of
Inspection, investigating matters at Nashville, has
discovered that the frauds upon the Government will
a -
reach two million8 of tIoliars.

will shortly be dissolved and will terminate these in

Hon. A. H. Stephens at the White House.—
Washington, April 5.—Mr. Alexander H. Stephens
called at the Executive Mansion early to-day and re
newed his request for an audience with the President,
which, after some delay, was granted. At least a hun
dred persons were there this "morning and afternoon,
waiting for interviews.
Popular Election.—Mr. Howe presented in the
House on Monday the petitions of citizens of Wiscon
sin for an amendment to the Constitution, so as to
have the President of the United States elected by the
popular vote, instead of by the electoral college sys
tem, which was referred to the Committee on Recon
struction.
Gen. Tillaon has promulgated an order notifying the
officers of the Freedmen’s Bureau in this State that
they will not hereafter exercise judicial function, the
Legislature having enacted laws giving persons of oolor
the right to make and enforce contracts, 'to sue, be
sued, to be parties and give evidence, to inherit, to
purchase, lease, sell, hold and convey real and per
sonal property, and to have full and equal benefits all
laws and proceedings for the security of person and
estate;" and declared that "they shall not be subjected
to any other or different punishment, pain or penalty
for the commission of any act or offense, than such as
prescribed for white persons committing like acts
or offenses"—aa appears by the act entitled "An act to,

The Civil Agents of the Bureau appointed in com
pliance with a resolution of the Georgia State Conven

cases exceeding their jurisdiction, unless otherwise

will be turned over to the civil authorities of the State

passage: of the civil, rights bill
OVER THE: PRESIDENT’S VETO.
Exciting Scenes in the Senate Cham
ber.
The Washington'correspondent of tho New York
Times gives the following account of the passage of
the Civil Rights bill by the Senate on Saturday last:
At about 3 o’clock the Civil Rights Bill was called
up, and Mr. Doolittle, in a forcible speech of some
length, gave his views. During tho progress of this
spcech.it was whispered around that senator Morgan,
of N. Y.. who had been generally counted upon as
one of those who would sustain the veto, had stated
that lie would vote lor the bill. This news struck con
sternation among the friends of the veto, who had
confidently relied upon seventeen votes, including
Mr. Morgan’s; and such, until to-day, was the es
timate of all persons at all advised upon the facts.—
Mr. Dixon, learning Mr. Morgan’s position, and
knowing, therefore, that his vote could not save the
veto, determined not to risk his health by. coming out
of Ins house. Mr. Wright was present. Some two
hours wore spent, after Mr. Dooiitle concluded, iu
general discussion by Senators McDougaU, Saula-
bury uud Davis—the latter making with emphasia the
loliowing announcement: "Pass your Freedmen’s
Bureau Bill and Civil Rights Bill, and henceforth I
am the enemy of your Government, and will spend
the lew feeble remnants of my life in efforts to over
throw it.”
Abouthalf-past six the Presiding Officer called for
the vote upon the question; "Shall the bill pass, the
objections of the President to the same notwithstand
ing ?’’ Here the vast assembly was hushed in breath
less attention. The result now depended upon the
response of Mr. Morgan, and as the Clerk progressed
down the list and approached tlie name oi that Sena
tor, all eyes and ears were bent toward him, and
when, in response to the call of his name, he answered
"Aye,” a tremendous round of applause, mingled
with exclamations, went up from the galleries. ’ The
call went on, and directly the President announced
that by a vote of 33 to 15 tho bill had passed. * Here
again thuuders of applause arose, some of the Sena
tors joining. Mr. Wade and a few Republican mem
bers of Congress then upon the floor, attempted to
shake the hand of Senator Morgan, but that gentle
man shook his head disapprovingly and declined to
receive their congratulations. Upon the motion of
Mr. Trumbull the passage of the bill was directed to
be reported to the House, and the Senate adjourned.
The President was advised this morning that Mr.
Morgan would vote for the bill, and that, so far as the
Senate is concerned, the veto would not be sustained.
The Herald's correspondent says: When the result
of the vote and the passage of the bill was stated by
the President there was uu outburst of applause, es
pecially in the galleries, only suppressed by a volun
tary dispersion of the crowd. In this portion of the
Chamber the negroes were particularly moved, and
gave vent to their feeling by chcors. This completed
die excited deliberations upon one of the most im
portant actions which has yet emanated from the Con
gress of the United States since the close of the re
bellion.
'lhe bill yet needs the concurrence of the House of
Representatives by a two-thirds vote before it becomes
a law. There is now but one opinion as to its fate in
that body, and that is that it will pass. The result re
mains to be demonstrated by occurrences of the
future.
Of this triumph, as might be expected, the Radicals
are highly elated. Alter the adjournment of the
Seuato there was- a free display of handshaking and
congratulation. One of this class was heard to say to
a brother of the same persuasion, in a street car, this
evening, "This is tho culminating point—tho fight
will now commence iu earnest?*
An Armed Attack Upon tlie American
Congress Deliberately Threatened.
From the Washington Chronicle, organ of the Radicals.
The two vetoes of the President of the United States,
his offensive denunciations of patriotic statesmen by
name, and his last proclamation declaring tho re
bellion at an end, were all deliberately and repeat
edly predicted by the old organ of the sympathizers
with treason, ihe National Intolligehcsr. We are not,
therefore, far out of the way when we attach a certain
higniflenne o to tlie following passage in the leading ar
ticle of that paper yesterday:
•*I3ut, on the other hand, if restoration is the prin
ciple of loyalty to the Union, the important question
arises, whether there is now anything more to re
store. If restoration is complete, so far as law and
government are related to citizens and subjects, then
a body of public agents who should refuse to act,
within the sphere of their delegated functions, on the
basis of such an actual condition of political integrity,
but should persist in acting on a pretended condition,
would—if such actual condition were authoratively
or notoriously declared—be notoriously in a posture
of revolution. Will Congress be in that posture if
they longer persist in refusing to exercise their offi
cial functions for the admission of representatives
from a yortion of the States ?
"There never was any trouble pertinent to the du
ties of legislatures and ministers of government but
obstruction to the execution of the laws and the tre
mendous incidents of its vast magnitude. All that
trouble has passed away. The Executive has now
solemnly proclaimed the fact, of which, from the na
ture. of the Executive function, on familiar principles
of law, he is the solo judge. AU legislative, executive
and judicial authorities are bound and concluded by
liis decision as to the fact of restoration to loyalty.
WiU Congress refuse to be concluded by his decision ?
On the other hand, if legal, political, governmental
loyalty i9 restored, on what assumption could that
body persist in keeping ths country in • state of dis
union ?
“The issue is, wo think, at last approaching. A
crisis must soon come. Js the Union destroyed, or is
Congress revolutionized ? Time, a short time, must
show.”
The italics are the InteUigencer’s. Tlie doctrine
here enunciated is not new—at least not since tlie be
ginning of the present Congress. More than once
has this same paper invoked violence against the ear
nest majorities in Congrees, and within a few weeks a
Southern Senator caUed upon the President to recog
nize the rebel claimants, and to demand their admis
sion into Congress. It is evident that- somo new’
movement may soon be expected.
Horrible.—The amaU-pox hospital, nearTalbotton,
was burned on Saturday night, the 24th of last month,
and a negro boy, about ten or twelve years of age, was
burned to death. He was a patient of the hospital and
was alone, no one else being on the place. His charred
remains were found on Sunday morning. This is the
second time the hospital has been burned this year,
and, as is universally believed, by an incendiary.—
Georgia Weekly.
A Nuisance.—The Mobile Advertiser remarks: "A
negro paper published at the South, by a Northern
Radical, is of necessity an incendiary sheet. Its ob
jects are two fold: To stir up bad blood and trouble
where good feeling and contentment are the interest
of both, and to make money out of the agitation it
stirs up.
Emigration of Fbeedmen.—The Charleston
Courier reports that three thousand two hundred
freedmen have emigrated from North Carolina during
the last three mouths to Massachusetts, Connecticut
and other New England States, on contracts to work
at twenty dollars per month, and that more will follow.
Bottled Butleb.—In a letter of thanks to the
colored ladies of Philadelphia, for the presentation of
certain "rich vestments" to him, General Butler says:
"Thir soldiers (colored), in many fields under my eye,
have shown high courage, endurance, and enthusiastic
patriotism."
We respectfully inquire, as a necessary contribu
tion to the history of the rebellion, " what fields? and
with which eye ?
Since the exclamation of an ardent Lowell girl, on
seeing the great Butler for the first time, that he "wae
the cock-eyedest man," she ever saw, it is submitted
that hia letter requires these explanations. —AVto York
Laborers not Wanted in the West.—We find in
the Chicago Post the extraordinary statement that,
contrary to all previous reports, there is no demand
for labor in the West. It Bays hundreds of these poor
laborers have been sent on these wild goose chases to
the Upper Missouri, from St. Louis and Chicago. The
intelligence offices are at the bottom of the knavery. M
"A United States Senator, in one of his reported
speeches, speaks of the policy of "donating" lands.
We have "donary,” a noun; "donation,” a noun;
"donatism," a noun; "donatist," a noun; and "do
native,” an adjective; but we can find no such word
as “donating.” It must belong to some new lan
guage. -—New Era. _
It you cannot find "donating" in your "unabridged,"
where do you get such words as establishing, ruining
