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 that, Important Orders from the Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bu reau. i • “It is plain, therefore, that notwithstanding the sus pension of hostilities, the present state of tho coun try is held by the Administration itself, and is, in fact, one of rebellion.” There can be no peace, we are further as sured, until the States shall be fully restored to the Union by the act of Congress. We being, then, to ail intents and purposes, en- | gaged in a tremendous war, which tho Presi dent has no power to stop, he will persist, it linr Washillffton Correspondence, j is charged, in adhering to the enemies of the J ° * United States, and in giving them aid and „ ! comfort.' On this point the Tribune says: rt-aoM OUII OWS COBBEBPONDEyT.] { TT _ . . . * . . . , w j , “ He demands, m fact, that during war communities Washington, April 6, 1866. j witli which wo are at war shall send representatives into Th , ftmknipt Bhl. though it received a rude check I our Senate and House oi Representatives, and that iae v . , .... i m ti, -a Congress has no light to make laws for them until :c the House, it is expected will become a luw. There * 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 of hi, eulogy on Mr. Lincoln, to speak of Maximilian ss an “Austrian adventurer.” The same cause in- laces Mr. Seward the Secretary of State to give a _ grand dipiomutio dinnuer to Madame Juarez the wife ^ admitting representatives of the public enemy ct the Chief of tho Republican party in Mexico.

We confess that, as we understand llie Constitution and the laws, only do they seem to us to present mauy insuperable ob jections to the contemplated proceeding, but 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.— Baltimore Gaxette. 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. Militahy Commissions Done Away With.—A die patch frpm Washington, dated the 5th inst.* says: '•‘The military commissions, which has been InseS' sion at Fortress Monroe, was dissolved yesterday. The military commission at Raleigh and Savannah will shortly be dissolved and will terminate these in stitutions. 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, define the term ‘persons of color,’ and to declare the rights of such persons;’’ approved March 17th, 1866. The Civil Agents of the Bureau appointed in com pliance with a resolution of the Georgia State Conven tion, passed October 30th, 1865, will continue to per form the duties and exercise the authority conferred upon them by Circular No. 4, Series of 1865, but all cases exceeding their jurisdiction, unless otherwise specially directed by the Department Commander, will be turned over to the civil authorities of the State for adjudication. 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 comprehending, etc., which you use in your editorials, neighbor?
