Impeachment of the President.
The article we copied yesterday from the Baltimore
Gazette, in reply to the proposition to impeach the
President, made by the Chicago Tribune, is conclusive
as to the facts and law of the case. The radical papers
differ materially as to the grounds of impeachment,
whether on that of treason or bribery. The Tribune
is of opinion that an accusation for treason is clearly
sustainable. His leading position is that President
Johnson is liable to impeachment from adhering to
the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and
comfort, and argues the question tlms:
“The constitution, art. 2, sec. 4, declares that * The
President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the
United States, shall be removed from office on impeach
ment for, and conviction oij treason, bribery, and
other high crimes and misdemeanors.” Treason
against the United States is defined as consisting in
levying war against them, or in adhering to their
enemies, giving them aid and comfort.
“ This question divides itself into two othcre, viz:
First, Whether the United States has at present any
•enemies,' or whether the late rebels still occupy
toward the government the legal relations of enemies
which they unquestionably did occupy for several
years. Secondly, Whether, if so, the President has
adhered to them in their capacity as enemies of the
country, doing that which tended to give them aid and
comfort and maintain their enmity.
“The mere surrender of the Confederate armies
does not of itself make peace. Otherwise, our govern
ment should have issued a proclamation of pe^ce
immediately on the surrender of Johnston, Taylor,
and Kirby Smith.”
It i3 a queston of fact—Does a state of war or peace
exist ? This is the preliminary point of inquiry. Docs
the President’s peace proclamation declaratory of that
fact, afford sufficient evidence of it ? If it does, there
is au end of the argument on which the Chicago
editor builds his conclusion, that the President is
chargeable with an impeachable offence under the
constitution. His distinction between the suspension
of hostilities and being still in a state of war avails
nothing. “The issuance of the proclamation” was
made contemporaneous with the veto. It was an in
disputable excrciso of Executive power. Courts mar
tial, martial law, suspension of habeas corpus, and
:ill the other incidents of Executive authority apper
taining to war, fell with the “ issuance of the procla
mation.” This fact concludes the argument on this
head.
But the Chicago editor must appear to think that
President Johnson is impeachable for insincerity:
“ He informs General Howard relative to the present
act establishing the Freedmen’s Bureau, which by its
terms was to continue one year after the war, that said
year has not yet commenced to run, and that the war
has not yet ended and will not until the 4 issuance of
a proclamation of peace.’ Soldiers are quartered on

status in time of peace he would have no power. He
dictates to Southern conventions and Legislatures
wliat laws they shall and shall not pass, and if they
pass laws not acceptable to aim, he, through his gen
erals, forbids all courts to execute them—acts which
in a state of peace would be intolerable usurpations.”
Now all these acts were performed antecedently to
t he “issuance of the Proclamation.” His “quarter
ing of aoliiers on Southern property, without the
consent of the owners—his exercising of military
power as Commander-iu-Chief of the Army—his dic
tating to Southern Conventions and Legislatures what
acts they shall or shall not pass,” were all acts per

[FROM OUB OWN COBBK8PONDENT.]
Boston, April 4, 1866.
To the Editors of the Savannah News and Herald:
APRIL DATS,
so far, have been as bright and balmy as March,
throughout, was dark, gloomy, raw and dispiriting.
The eclipse of the moon, which, coming on one of the
loveliest nights of the year, while our faithful satellite
was in the zenith of her glory, seems to have marked
the line of demarcation between the bad weather and
the good, even more distinctly than the recent Peace
Proclamation of the President marks the dividing line
between the horrors of war and the sweet repose of
peace. But April weather is generally more uncertain
than politics, and we shall do well not to indulge in
too fond congratulations until the variable months is
gathered into the company of tha times that are
past.
STREET GOSSIP.
The people of this community have had enough to
talk about during the last week, and no complaint wn
be made of the dullness of news. Easter Sunday,
which was observed with imposing ceremonies at the
Catholic and Episcopal Churches, the President’s
Peace Proclamation, and the elections in Connecticut
and Rhodo Island, have been the staple subjects, but
there have also been local themes fully as interesting—
to eay nothing about the weather, the financial situa
tion, and other subjects always in order.
THE MALDEN MURDER.
The case of Greene, the Malden murderer, for the
too frequent mention of whose name I ask pardon of
you and your readers, has advanced one stage nearer
to tho final act since my last. A Writ of Error was
brought in this case, on the ground of a defect in the
record, inasmuch as Greene pleaded guilty to murder,
whereas, it was held by his counsel that the degree of
murder should be determined by a jury. The Su
preme Court listened to the argument this week—and
a very able argument it was, made by Henry W. Paine,
Esq., the Democratic candidate for Governor last
year—and unanimously deeided that Greene was
properly sentenced, and that there could be no stay of
proceedings on tho grounds on which the Writ of
Error was brought. Nobody expected a different de
cision, aud Greene will probably be hung on Friday of
next week, the day originally fixed by tho Governor.
Ho is described as a poor specimen of humanity, intel
lectually weak almost to imbecility, yet possessing wit
enough to make him responsible for crime. The law
necessarily holds that it does not require much wit for
that.
COMPOUNDING FELONT.
A good deal of feeling has resulted from tho manner
in which several great cases of criminality have been
managed lately. I think I wrote you iu my last letter
that the robber of the Concord Bank had been set at
liberty after restoring about two-thirds of the money
taken. This was undoubtedly the result of a bargain
between the criminal and the managers of the bank.
Another case of the same nature is now on the tapis.
Your readers wil^remember the great robbery in New
York, two or three weeks since, which involved the
loss of a million and a half to a wealthy banker named
Lord. The money was taken from the safe of the
banker in broad day, while one of the accomplices en-
| gaged him in conversation. The robbers were traced
by detectives, and the principal, who gave the name
of Jones, was arrested the other day in Newburyport,
in this State. He acknowledges the robbery, and has
described the manner of it in detail, and now de
mands us the price of producing the plunder, one
hundred thousand dollars and his liberty. Having
given his ultimatum he is resting on liis diguity in
Newburyport, where he remains under guard, whilo

Whv is it that Savaunah, to-day, is shooting like an
arrow beyond Charleston in all brandies of commer-
eSTnd mercantile business? Why is it that people
speak encouragingly and confidently of the future of
Savannah, aud doubtfully and despairingly of the fu
ture Of Charleston ? The whote explanation is am-
tained within tho very contracted limits of .1 smali
nut-shell. The people of Savannah are progressive,
in Charleston they are not. Xu the former city they
did not wait for the general Government to draw
the veil which hid the vital springs of progress, but
with a piercing glance, penetrated the cur ^ u J.? n .
took immediate advantage of thq discovery. Had tney
waited for the troops to be removed from the city, anti
for the restoration of civil lnw in all its functions, be

have been quite as unfortunate as Charleston. The
comparison may not bo pleasant to many of us, but
it embodies facts.

THE STATE CONSTABULARY
has assumed a new phase of meanness, by commenc
ing a system of espionage into the customs of the
hotels on Sunday. Several of the Constabulary
Police went the rounds of the-hotels last 8unday, and
endeavored to tempt the landlords and clerks into a
violation of the Sunday law. It is said that they were
unsuccessful in tempting anybody but the proprietors
of two “temperance hotels” into over-stepping the
law. The Constabulary Police are doing all they can
to make themselves odious. They keep very busy, so
as to earn their pay, and the indecent manner in
which they seek to enforce the. Prohibitory Liquor
Law, has led a good many consistent temperance and
total abstinence men to favor its repeal and the pas
sage of a stringent License Law. Even the Journal,
which general leels bound to sneeze when the fanatics
take snuff, now favors the License Law, and a com
mittee of the State Legislature, to which the subject
was referred, are said to be equally divided on the
subject. But it is too much to expect that the mem
bers from the rural districts will come up to the
•cratch. They cling to office and maintain their
places by the advocacy of all tho “isms” of the day,
and behind Mu m are the most intolerant men that can
be found in this free republic.
* A ROW IN THE GALLERY.
One of the acts of tho Legislature last year was the
passage of a law prohibiting manager's of places of
ainusenjent from making any discrimination in the
admission of persons to their entertainments on ac
count of color or race. Before that all tbe theatres in
the city, except the Museum, which is managed by a
“radical,” bad the announcement upon their pro
grammes, “colored people admitted to the gallery
only.” After the passage of the law these announce-

of our white people object to being sandwiched in
with “American citizens of African descent”

THE VETO MESSAGE.
TJie Final Debate on the Civil Rights
Bill in the Senate.
THE YEAS AND NAYS ON THE PASSAGE OF THE
BILL OVER THE PRESIDENT’S VETO.
As a matter of political record and as showing the
temper in which the Civil Rights bill was passed by
the Senate over the President’s veto, we give the fol
lowing sketch of the proceedings in that body on
Saturday evening last:
The morning hour having expired the veto message
was taken up.
Mr. Wade continued his speech against the Presi

Mr. Lane rose at the conclusion of Mr. Wade’s
speech, and said:—Tho Senator from Ohio, forgetting
the position he occupies, has suggested that I have ta

ter,) Mr. President, wherever he is known that
charge is denied as false»by both friend and enemy,
^r. President, I desire to call the attention of the
Senator from Ohio to tne statement I have read from
his speech yesterday. The President of tue United
States is not here to answer for himself.
Mr. Wade—I wish be was.
Mr. Lauo again road the extract given above, and
said he appealed to Mr. Wade to withdraw the serious
charge he had made against the President. Toward
tho conclusion of his remarks he repeated that he re
ferred to the Connecticut election; one more victory
like that, he said he would ruin the republican i^^uly.
It was the firat scratch of the handwriting on the wail.
He was not the defender of the President’s speech of
the 22d of February. Ho believed the President was
excited—(laughter) when he made it. Ho had been
provoked to it by what had been said of him m Con
gress.
Mr. Brown took the floor to correct a statement
made by Mr. Lane in relation to the position of Sena
tors in the Winter Davis^ reconstruction bill. He (Mr.
Brown) had voted for universal suffrage iu that oill,
and he desired to reiterate that statement and say that
no proposition at any time looking to the readmission
of tne lately rebellious States wouid receive liis vote,
unless it provided for universal suffrage, without re
gard to color or race.
air. Doolittle said ho was not present when the Civil
Rights bill was passed, but had he been here no doubt
he should have -voted for the measure. Since the
passage of the bill in the Senate he had read the very
able speeches of Messrs. Bingham and Delano, of
Ohio, and the objections to the bill as set forth in the
veto message, and these had caused him to give the
measure his earnest consideration. It contains pro
positions upon which the ablest men—men in whom
we had uuuoubted confidence—differ. He wished the
bill could be placed iu charge of the Judiciary Com
mittee, and that committee would frarno oue which
would avoid the objections raided to it iu this body, in
the other House and by the Executive. He was de
sirous of preserving amicable relations between Con
gress and the Executive. There were three years yet
of this administration, during which the country may
live or perish. He had discovered the elements of a
collision before the session of Congress, and he had
striven and would strive to prevent it. He saw among
his friends a disposition to act towards the President
as though the Executive were unworthy of their coun
sel. ' He deprecated this feeling. Gentlemen belong
ing to the Union jjarty denounced others of that party
for supporting the President aud his policy, and they
called the President a traitor for pursuing that policy.
Mr. Doolittle proceeded to show the adoption of this
policy, step by k step, by Mr. Lincoln and ins adminis
tration, its endorsement by Congress as late as March
of lust year, the reiteration of this policy by Mr. Lin
coln in his speech hut three days before his death,
and the faithful adherence on the part of Mr. John
son to the incisure and policy adopted by and
in f process of consummation when the present
Executive succeeded Mr. Lincoln. The latter had
been down the track on which the car of State was to
move; the train was moving on when in come some
gentlemen who claim to be wiser than Mr. Lincoln
aud throw obstructions upon the track, and throw the
car of State off the track. Mr. Doolittle said he had
received u dospatch informing him that the Legisla
ture of his State had passed a resolution requesting
him to vote for the Civil Rights Bill, the President’s
objections thereto notwithstanding. He had already
set forth, at length, his objections to the measure, and
he could not vote for it, and would abide by the con
sequences. He entertained the highest respect for
the gentlemen composing the Legislature of his State,
but, standing where he (lid, he saw what they could
not. They were at a distance, and influenced by
party x^rcss and persons interested in a continuation
of disorder in the South. Mr. Doolittle read letters
from gentlemen of great intelligence, sojourning in
the South, to prove that shameful misrepresentations
of the real sentiments of the Southern people have
been made by newspapers through their correspon
dents. Oue of Mr. Doolittle’s correspondents says
that the accounts in the Northern press are mere
caricatures of Southern sentiment* aud that he had
never heard of any conspiracy, or effort, or intention
of any' kind to resist the govarnment or the laws, or to
oppress the negro.
Mr. Davis, (dem.) of Ky., rose and said he would
proceed a good deal like an October rain—with de
liberation and very much at his leisure. He pro
ceeded to speak against the Civil Rights Bill and in
favor ol the veto. Towards the conclusion of his re
marks Mr. Davis said if the bill now bofore the Senate
became a law he should feel compelled to regard him
self as an enemy* of the government and to work for
its overthrow. He wanted no bureaucracy to govern
this country.
Mr. Saulsbury, (dem.) of Del., took the floor and
said: I rise to say, sir, that in my judgment the pas
sage of this bill is an inauguration of revolution. It
is well, sir, that the American people should take
warning and set their house in order; for it is impos
sible that tho people will patiently submit to it.
Heaven knows that we have had enough of bloodshed,
enough of mourning in every household. There are
too in any new-made graves for any one to wish to see
more. Attempt to execute this Jaw within any State
of this Union and in my judgment this country will
again be plunged into all the horrors of civil war. In
my own State, an humble State in point of numbers,
but a State, of gallant sons, your law will never be ob
served by the judiciary* of that State, most of them of
the Republican party. There Is not, I say, a Republi
can judge, we never had a judge so dead to the teach
ings of th# great luminaries of the law as to attempt
to enlorcC such a flagrantly unconstitutional law
or act as this. I shall not again enter upon the
constitutionality or unconstitutionality of the act.
But, sir, if it be not grossly, palpably, flagrantly un
constitutional, then five and twenty years of some
diligent study of the law have availed me nothing. In
conclusion Mr. "Saulsbury predicted that the passage
of this bill would lead to bloodshed, war and dis
union.
Mr. Yates, (rep.) of Ill., simply wished to say, lot
the Union people of this country and their Senators
and Representatives march forward in the perform
ance of their duty, and let them do it now and here-
Mr. McDougall, (dem.) of Cal., spoke of this bill as
revolutionary aud unconstitutional—one of a series of
revolutionary measures now before Congress.
The vote wa stlien taken on the question, “ Shall the
bill pass, tho President’s objections notwithstanding ?”

The West India Telegraph.—The House Com
mittee on Commerce liave agreed to report to the
House the South American Tclegrarh Company’e bill,
giving them the right to lay a cable from Florida to
Cuba, with amendments requiring the company to
do business for the government free, in peace as well
as in war,, and requiring them to limit their charges
to $3 50 for ten words.
The Atlantic Telegrapa.—The books for sub
scriptions to the stock of the Anglo-American Tele-
graph Company were closed in London on the 13th of
March. AUthe capital required to make end lay a
new cable and to get UP and complete the one about
two-thirds laid last year, has been subscribed. The
Tontractors are making nineteen nautical miles of the
new csble per day, and it is a great improvement upon
that of last year. The Great Eastern was being put in
the most perfect order, and the 30th of June is still
the day fixed for her departure from bheemess for
Valencia, Ireland.
Steamship Line Round the Earth—The first
.(earner of the Panama and Australia line left Ply-
mouth on the 8th inland the second will bo dis
patched on the 31st. The first outward passage wiU
be in connection with the Royal West India mail
steamer which leaves Southampton on the 2d of June.
The subsidy for the line is £110,000 per annum. The
outward time to Wellington is to be forty-nine days,
and to Sydney fifty-seven days. This, with the line
between Southampton and Australia, will be a continu
ous line or lines of steamships round the earth, and
the British flag will be in very truth one upon which the
sun never sets. 1st. Southampton, by the West India

Tbe Programme of the Radical Press.
We have in recent issues transferred articles from
Northern exchanges to o ir columns for the purpose
of showing that tha conflict between the Preeident
and the Radical majority in Congress is assuming a
threatening aspect. We also gave for the suae pur
pose what we designed to bo a faithful abstract of an
editorial in Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times, a prominent
Radical journal cf-New York. That our readers may
not suppose us to be guilty of garbling or misrepre
senting the editor’s opinions for ’*8ensaiional” or pur
poses, we give below the article from the Spirit entire,
as wo find it in Forney’s Chronicle^ the Washington
organ of tho Radical party:
[From the Washington Chronicle of April 6th.]
The following article from Wilkea’ Spirit of the
Times, just received, states what we believe the opin-.
ion of the loyal millions on this threatened ccmplica-
tion:
“It is supposed that the President will avail himself
of the latter event to officially nroclaim that peace is
restored throughout the iand; and that; following it
up, he will then formally summon the Representa
tives and Senators of ah cue States to meet at Wash
ington in extra session. The present majority of
the two Houses, whicn will then be in minority, will
■Of course dispute the rfiuu of the Representatives aud
Senators of the eleven unadmitted States to-meet with
them in council; whereupon, it is expeefod that the
President will recogDire the new majority as the true
Congress of the United States, and assign to them the
official chambers of-tne Capitol. The then minority,
deprived of a President, deprived, too, of their statu
tory forums and even of Presidential recognition, will
perforce be driven to convene apart, in some unofficial
place. Assuming, nevertheless, still to bo the true
and only Congress, and, as such, to have majority
enouglr within itself to be independent of the Presiden
tial veto or approval, it will go on with its legislation,
and endeavor to establish its authority under the aus
pices of the Supreme Court. Here will be two sepa
rate, distinct and rival governments in operation, not
divided between the sections, as was projected by the
overthrown rebellion, but angrily confronting one
another, within the narrow circle of the Capitol.
That such a stats of things must necessarily result m
war no reasonable man can doubt; and that such a war
would discharge its fury solely within the North is ob
vious, from the materials of which the opppoaing
sides would be composed. The South would bo a unit
ior a Northern march to sustain tho programme which
proposes to resign the country to its hands, while the
North; casting off ull business and personal concerns,
Would address itself en inasse to arms.
Perhaps the President, in his honest ardor to carry
out what he believes to bo a proper policy, has not re
flected thoroughly upon the influence which such
hopes as these will have upon the unsettled ambition
and prejudices of the South ; perhaps, misinterpret
ing the apparent moderation ot tho people, ho may
not credit the North with sufficient intensity of pur
pose ior such a combat. But there was a mistake of
that sort made once bofore, and if be will cast his eyes
backward over the eurfJod of the last live years and
behold that it .was the heave of the public shoulder
which constantly pushed forward tardy Presidents and
doubting chiefs, and behold, also, that it waa the peo
ple who gave unremitting pressure to every progres
sive measure, he will probabjy be brought to a more
serious conclusion. Let him reflect, too, that there is
some significance in the fact that three-fourths of the
men who represent the Northern States in Congress
are opposod to bis policy, and then see if it would be
any sacrifice of his dignity or proper pride to pause
for a moment in order to temperately ask himself if
his opinions might not possibly bo wrong.
“We have no hesitation in saying that we believe
Ibe President (apart irom his design to promote his
own re-election) is aciuated by sincere and patriotic
motives iu the course which he haa taken; bat we do
not think that, in hie present temper, he has reflected
fully on the-dreadful consequence* which a headlong
pursuit of his present ocumst against Congress may
precipitate. Life itself, end all the great events of
life, are but a series oi compromises, and no President
will be justified by posterity lor promoting a bloody
conflict among the people ueoauee unwilling to con
cede any part of his opinions to a Urge majority of
their lawful representatives—certainly not by the pos
terity of this country, where ins girmcipio of the ma
jority has a universal sanction. \V« hope, therefore,
that President -Johnsor may find some way to reason
ably assimilate hie policy with that of tue present ma
jority of Congress—=-jtne way oy which the rights of
the South may be aim !y guaranteed and the wishes cf
the moderate North conceded to; and we hone that
this adjustment may be early. But if no adjustment
shall be made, aud the Pre-ddeut, ignoring Congress,
shall press on the issue wo.ch wa have foreshadowed,
we give him warninr that the machete which now
hang in honored ease ■; every household north of tho
Potomac may soon be . ar. iedly ucelung, and a mur
mur pass throughout tee laud which may break into
the roar of battle before this year has closed.’’

Commodore Rodg^es’ S^uadbon at Valparaiso.—
The safe arrival of ttuo squadron on the Pacific with
the iron-clad turreted monitor Monodnock is an era
in naval history, and has solved a most interesting
aDd important naval problem.
Commodore Rodgers has manfully conducted that
vessel on the long voyage f 12,000 miles, around Cape
Horn, and thus demonstrated the ability of that class
of vessels to proceed to any part of the world where
their services may be required. The ^{ouadnook dur
ing the whole of tho voyage behaved admirably in all
weatber, and proved herself to be an excellent and
safe sea-going vessel hi every respect. She has at
tracted the most profound Interest and attention stall
the ports at which the squadron stopped, and no where
more so than at Valparaiso, where a strong naval force
of various nations Is collected; and we understand
that all tho foreign officers who have visited her de
clare there is nothing in their respective navies that
can cope with her ^purmous 15-inch guns, throwing
balls of 500 pounds.’

The FIuauccs of the State.
The following Is a condensed statement cf the
financial condition of the Stste:
The principal legialative appropriations wpre $200,-
000 for relief of tbe famitir-s of deceased and destitute
Confederate soldiers; $10,000 to buy artificial limbs for
soldiera maimed iu the wari and $24,000 to rebuild the
penitentiary. The estamled expenses for the present
year will amount to $i,u81,000. The public debt now
due is $234,500; back interest due, $590,000—total,
$1,911,500. This amount docs no, include expenses
for repairs and rolling stock fur tho State Road, and
the Federal land tax To meet these expenses, the
Governor is authorized to issue State bonds to the
amount required, amt with tb9 taxable property still
left us, the State Road yielded a net income of $75,-
000 per month. We are Justified in the expectrtion
that these bonds will command, at no distant day,'a
very handsomo premium, even though the income
from the road be devoted, for some time to come, in
liquidating the expenses for repairs and equipments.
Destructive Fire in Pour ac Pbince.—Port au
Prince, the capitol of the empire of Sayti, waa visited
by a destructive fire on the ISth ult. The city is built
principally of wooden buildings, and the lire, in the
absence of proper means for extinguishing the flames,
spread with such rapidity that one thousand buildings
were destroyed and seven thousand persons renderod
houseless before the flames were subdued. It ii not
stated whether the fire embraced tbe business part cf
the city, but from the meagre aoouuta at hand ii ap
pears to hare been confined to the residences.
A Remarkable Phenomenon.—A new Island has
suddenly appeared in the Grecian Arcbipeligo, rising
in five days one hundred and fifty feet above the level
of tbe sen, and presenting a surface of aboutslx acres.
Thb island continues to’ increase, and is due to vol
canic action, as it is composed of half-molten lava, and
was preceded by the flames coming up out of the eea,
accompanied with tremendous explosions. It first
appeared ca January 31st.
One of the prinoipal chemists to whom the Secre
tary of the Treasury referred the investigation os to
the combustible or noncombustible properties of pe
troleum has reported that it is combustible within the
meaning of the law, and, consequently, a special
license for transporting it must be taken out be.ora It
can be carried on passenger vessels. Tha other ex
port has not yet reported.
Crime in Vetmont.—Thero was never so much
crime in Vermont as now, and the officers say that
four-fifths of it Is to be attributed to liquor. One
county has fifteen criminals, who wiU be sunt to state
prison.
