The only safe guide Id such cases - must be the common law, which is the guardian at once of private rights and public liber ties." - * It is unnecessary to cite another word from this able commentator on the Constitu tion to show that impeachment is only a bugbear, to be used with any effect, to frighten timid minds, who have not courage and manliness enough to perform their pub lic dulr- TRVHBULL vs. JOHNSON —RADICAL AND CONSERVATIVE. Trumbull, the Senator from Illinois, and Jobnaon, the Senator from Maryland, are the two representative men of their parties respectively. They enjoy the reputation of being the two best constitutional lawyers in the Senate. They were fairly and squarely pitted against each other in the debate on 'the veto of the Civil Rights bill. The former has been lauded by the radical prints beyond his deserts for his argument on that occa sion. He was immediately succeeded by Johnson, whose analysis has been pro nounced “exhaustive.” The most impartial mode of judgment as to the respective mer its of their speeches is to bring them into direct comparison. The superioiity of the Maryland Senator is seen at a glance. The extracts we shall make are copied from the report of the New York Times: “Senator Johnson, of Maryland, replied to Senator Trumbull in an exhaustive argument. He said, in the course of his speech : Now what does this bill propose to do ? It says that every man born in the United Statee, whether born as a slave or not, (it is not confined in its operation to those born subsequent to the abolition of slavery in the United States, but applies to all,) to whoever was born at any time though born in slavery, is to be considered a citizen by reason of the fact of his being born here, and that fact alone the State may have declared at the time of his birth, if he was born of a slave mother, that he was a slave. The Constitution and laws of the State which declared it are disputed. We assert that no descendant of a colored mother, whether she was free or not, shall be a citizen by virtue of his birth, and yet my friend from Illinois and the Congress of the United Stated in passing this bill have declared those who are born in a state of slavery, and who were never citizens so long as that condition existed, who were prevented from being citizens by the Con stitution of the State in which they resided, which has never been changed, shall by force of this enactment, be considered as citizens of the United States, and, therefore, citizens of all purposes. Now if it be true that whether birth is to give citizenship of the United States depends upon Ihe fact whether the party born is by the laws of the State in which he is born a citizen of that State, I should like to know where is the authority in Congress to interfere over what a Stato has done in the past, is doing in the present, or may do in the future; or how it can bt accomplished under the Constitutional amend ment, which I will notice after awhile. Now the honorable member from'lllinois (Mr. Trum bull) disposes of the President’s objections to the first section of the bill, by saying it is merely declaratory. Well, I know it is not uncommon for a legislative body, whose differences of opinion exist in relation to any proposition to remove by declaratory legislation. But that is not the purpose of this section. It professes to be passed in the exercise of a positive and absolute power to change law, not to declare what the law was. The power to make the law it assumes, or otherwise there would be no occasion for it, that birth alone does not confer citizenship, and assuming that no citizen ship could exist in consequence or birth alone, it de clares that birth alone, in spite of State constitutions aud State laws, shall confer citizenship. Now with all the deference to the opinion of the honorable chair man ol the Committee of the Judiciary, (Mr. Trum bull,) it seems to me to be a proposition as clearly er- j roneous as any proposition can be in relation to the I constitution. The States were sovereign before the constitution was adopted; and the constitution, not only according to its very terms, does not profess to confer upon the government of the United States any such power, but as far as Congress is concerned, pro fesses only to confer on that department of the govern ment a particular delegated power; and so conscious were the framers of that instrument and the great men of that day to whom its subsequent perfection was left, that although they had no doubt on the sub ject, and although the debates in the convention itself, as well as the debates in the conven tions of the several States when the adoption of the Constitution was before them, notwithstanding they all went upon the theory that no powers were conferred except such as were expressly granted, or such as might reasonably be implied, to carry out the powers expressly granted ; so anxious were they that, not satisfied with relying upon a principle that only delegated power belonged to Congress, they, bv the tenth amendment to the Constitution, declared' that the powers not delegated by the Constitution aud not denied to the States, were to be considered as reserved to the States respectively or to the people. Standing, CONFLICT OF JURISDICTION. It is among political axioms that power is I constantly passing from the many to the few. i The converse of this mast hold' good in a Democracy, as is exemplified in the present conflict of jurisdiction between the President and Congress. An appeal lies to the people. What will be their verdict remains to be seen. There "can scarcely be a doubt as to the p6p- ular vote if all the States are permitted to exercise the privilege of suffrage. If by Con gressional manipulation eleven States are ex cluded from the privilege, the two-thirds ma jority in Congress must be presumed to rep resent popular opinion in the other twenty- five States, and by passing another Freed- men’s Bureau bill over the President’s veto, they may obtain a sufficient number of negro votes to secure a majority in the next Con gress. It is for this they are now struggling. Failing in this, the next .resort of that des perate faction is physical force—an interfer ence by armed men in the elections. Tlie Federal Constitution provides but a feeble remedy for this. The Supreme Court is the tribunal under the supreme law to in terpose its authority, but that Court has ad journed over to the December session, and the elections take place in the fall. There is still a resort under the Constitution against the alternative of a trial of physical strength between the two departments, a shock that would at once inaugurate a revolution. The President is by law the Commander-in-Chief of the Federal forces. No act of Congress can be executed without his permission. The Freedmen’s Bureau act-would remain a dead letter on the statute book without Executive authority to give it force and vitality. By Telegraph. FROM WASHINGTON. Redaction of the.

And the full, therefore, proposes to change the whole theory of the Govern ment. The President, therefore, as I think, is right in saying—and I go further than he does—he is right in expressing a doubt whether Congress has the right or the power. The attempt of Senator Trumbull to take shelter under the plea that the language of the bill is simply declaratory, is puerile. If it was not intended to be inafidatory^vchy was it passed ? It is a plain confession that the occasion was sought to render the President politically odious by bringing his negative in opposition to the legislative authority of the Union. The theory of the Constitution, as pro pounded by Mr. Johnson, is’ that which hus been accepted and acted upon by its most enlightened expositors—by every successive Congress, and by every session of the Su preme Court since the organization of the Government—by Whigs and Democrats—by The Civil Rights Bill.—The pricociples of the Civil Rights bin are 'involved in a case I at Lafayette, Indiana- On Tuesday, a colored man Darned Barnes brought suit before a jus tice, against a white man, to compel him to enforce a contract. The defendant, for an swer, set up that the plaintiff came into the State in violation of the thirteenth section of the Constitution, which forbids the immigra tion of negroes. The plaintiff demurred to the answer, maintaining that the article was void, because it was in conflict with the let ter and spirit of the United States Constitu tion, with the constitutional amendment, nnd was void under the first section ot the Civi 1 Rights bill, which gives to all persons born in the United States full right to make and enforce contracts, any law, statute, ordi nance, regulation or custom to the contrary notwithstanding. The court sustained the demurrer, and the defendant appealed to tlie Circuit Court, which is now in session. Clay and Webster, by Marshall and Story, Uon of Americau flshermec ' and yet, a Senator from Illinois, wiser than councils, claims for Congress powers that can belong to none but a centralized government, that supersedes the authority of the States in a matter of domestic legislation antecedently to the formation of that instrument from which its whole power is derived. We have fallen on evil times when the established rules of constitutional interpretation are superseded by the dogmas of consolidation 's ts. 18 THE PRESIDENT IMPEACHABLE 1 Would an impeachment lie should the President neglect to execute an act of Con gress? The radicals in Congress will tax their ingenuity if such should be their line of policy, to satisfy their more conscientious supporters that the President may be im peached for neglect of duty in the non-exe cution of an act of. Congress. There are but. two offences for which the President is im peachable under the constitution. These of fences are treason and bribery. The fourth section of the second article is in these words: The New York Tribune applauds a resolution re cently introduced into tbe Senate of the United States for the amendment (again!) of the Constitution, wherein “all discriminations among the people be cause of race, color or previous condition of servitude, either in civil rights or the right of suffarge, are pro hibited." Upon this the Tribune incautiously re marks : "Rebel States ratifying tbe above may be admitted to Congress, aud au amnesty shall he declared tor all their citizens.” Very good, replies the News. But as it is a bad rule that does not work both ways, let those States at present represented in Congress which have refused to grant negro suffrage, be incontinently turned out to grass with the refractory “jebels.” Let us com mence with Connecticut and Wisconsin—eh, Gu3h ford ?

The Repobt of Cholera in Havana.—The agent of the Associated Press at Havana has recently been unjustly accused of stating in one of his letters that that city was suffering a visitation from the cholera. By a clerical error, his letter was npde to read that “we are bearing a visitation from"'the cholera.” On examination, the original copy shows that he wrote “we are fearino a visitation from the cholera." “The President, Vice-President and all civil officers of the United States, including the President and Vice-President, shall Be removed from office on im peachment for, and conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” Judge Story, the commentator of the high est authority on the constitution, says: “For the definition of treason resort must be had to the constitution itself; but for definition of bribery resort is naturally and necessarily had to the common law ; for that, as the common basis of our jurispru dence, can alone furnish the proper exposition of the nature and limits of this offence. The only practical question is, what are to be deemed high crimes aud misdemeanors ? Now, neither the constitution nor any statute of the United States have, in any manner denned any crimes except treason and bribery to be high crimes and misdemeanors, aud as such impeach able. In what manner, then, are they to bKaLcer tamed? Is the silence of the statute book to be deemed conclusive in favor of the party until for, gress has made a legislative declaration and enumer ation of the offences, which shall be deemed hi"h crimes and misdemeanors?

Heath, a citizen of this county, living about six miles from Kinston. They approached the house about 11 o'clock at night. Mr. Heath got up, when ihey inquired tho way to Kinston, ana immediately fired a volley into the house, one shot hitting Mr. Heath in the arm. They then continued to fire round after round into the house for some considerable length of time, during which they entered his smoke house t and took what bacon and pork they could carry oil'. They then broke open the door of the house and demanded Heath's piBtol. Heath, in the time of ths shooting aud robbing, managed to get out of the house, and went to that of a neighbor for assist ance. On his return, accompanied by one young man hu found a squad of robbers near his barn ana fired into them, without uoing them any damage, but causing a stampede. After running a short distance they ati tempted to rally their forces, when they were fired into again, causing a second stampede, in which they lost gloves and ttree sacks of their plunder. They were tracked the next morning direct to Kinston, bat no discovery has yet been made. On yesterday a young lad was plowing in the field in the same vicinity, when a negro went to him, and, after some conversation, walked off some thirty oi forty etepe aud deliberately shot him, hitting him with several snots. Hr. Heath's wife and sister were in the house dur ing the entire time that the house wss being fired ou, and,strange to say,were not injured. The windows and sides of the house were badly shot to pieces. Georgia Historical (Society Library.
