Ho say* * i|“To my mind tho Fttvtereign and victo- Jinis majority of the people of the Uni* ( 1 States are superior to th(j courts they |>ve created to serve tho ordinary ad- fcnistration of justice.

Tho game seems to be played with unusual interest and animation by the respective parties in the Northern St..^ •, nnd tho fact cannot be disguiled that as perities have been engendered of an ir- ordinnte character, add that they have outcropped in open denunciations and criminutionsliko unto those wo w itnessed between tho soctions immediately pre ceding the outbreak of tho lute bloody war, and not at all in keeping with the state 6f cohesion and Union which served to coocontrnto tho energies and persist ent efforts of that powerful section against us when ww **?re at open hostility. But a casual pt the aims of the reRpteotivo contending Lost*, serves to discloso the fact tbit power pnt- ronago, and not philanthropy and w t r f. otism alone, haVo much tb do with t>„ stirring up of thoso nngry passions, and that whatever difficulties and perils tho disputants may, by tho Way, entangle thernaelvoB in, hoik partis* nVo aiming in this respect at tho Biime thing. If offico arid power are tho aim, the Vote of tho South is evidently tho means of facilitating tho one and hindering tho olhor; and therefore is auxiliary to tho groat stako for which they are playing. To aid our rouders in forming an in telligent opinion as to tho probability of an attempted impeachment, it may be well for them to cch-iider whether it ii necessary for the purposes of the party • in power iu Cortgfcss, that Mr. Johnson should be deputed; and also whether such a step is likely to cvcntuntc ip sue cess, eveu if tho end bo doailablo. Upon the last point there are grounds to doubt, for tho probability is that there are some rnornberD of Uofigresa who will promptly voto against all tho administration meas ures, that would not vote at all to im peach tho Chief Magistrate of the na tion, and thereby incur tho dangers of civil war. It is evident thut our friends North desiro to have our votos in Con- gross and in tho noxt electoral college. It is equally apparent that their ojpo nents desire and iutend, if possible, to have neither. For their purposes it tvould seem that it is amply sufficient to keep tho South out of Congress and out bf tho electoral eollcgc. ^They have eeoded in doing Iho former during the la9t session of Congress with Mr. John son in office, why may they not do during tho next session ? And if that is true, why is irncocKtary to have him deposed <* The subject of impoachinont looses all iti practical interest, when applied to the r l .lolly just.

'Sere are two classes of persons who go tu believe l)avifi gutlly of treason : (1) i (.xtremo Radicals wl.o hold wall ^uhl*Tin Stevens that luwstabMshetin at which we overthrew is, therefore, on] ifftiner of war and not amenable to Mbrts as a traitor, and (2) the theorc gp-Mcessionists who hold that acts d< *CTst the General Government irn^r authority cannot bo punished *?. Itis certainly possible that ... o|ojre, out of both these classes, mi lit hit Mi ta be upon the jury, as it is ot qiiil*asy to see how they eopjd ho ‘■mJ| without betraying a viy pa blejjrposo to pack the jury.

Washington Cor. of tho ChtiJeston Courier.) General Butler’s speech at Cincinnati, wap, in fact, intended to jireropt the great Radical irttme, to w it: The impeachment and removal of Andrew Johnson, and the substitution for him Jf the President pmtrn. of the Senate, probably Honntor Wade of Ohio. Upon thin lt*a\ie, Ohio, Peensylvnnia and other States haVirig al ready declared their .position. They de cide to sanction mttler’e entire pro* gramme, which ho has stated with so much particularity. He is himself prob ably, to bo the leader of tho Congress Army ^against the l’rvsidoht’s army, in cuso the President should resist tho usurpation of Congress. Ho proposes himself for that position, lie also lays down his own law for the trial of impeach ment, and prescribes rules for tho con duct of tho Semite, as tho High Court of Impeachment. Tho Senate with twenty- six Slatt'8 rcprcJentcd, will, by n bare majority of votes—twenly.seven—order that President Johnson, as soon as tho articles of impeachment are presented, bo arrested tpid imprisoned lit tho old CnpftuJ or Fortress Monrhe, and his fimctimis are nt a end. Blit Johnson ways Butler, may resist that course. In that ease Butler will bo on hand with nu army of Rudiculs, collected from tho mass of the people; by which tho regu lar forces of the army and navy nro to be routed rind dispersed. From this, by the way G'eh. Butler is to bo next Presi dent. More of top. Impeachment. From lh« Macon Telegraph.) - The World proceeds to answer tho position of Butler by citing the case of Justico Bamuel Chase, of the United »°tales Supreme Court, impenchatyn 18- 05. Tho Senate, after organizing as-a high court of impeachment, adopted the following as one of tho rules of proceed- tog 1 , “ 1 lio person Impeached shall then b-: called to appear and answer tho articles of impeachment cxhihito.l against him. If he appears, or any person for him, tho appearunco shall bo recorded, staling particularly if by himself or by agent nr attorney, naming tho person appearing) and the capacity tin which ho appear, either personally or by agent or ottorneh the fiairio shall fib recorded.” Gcncuil Butler is wholly wrong in h'w law. Instead of tho I’rcsiuent bomg td- ken into custody mrd impeached, it de pends on his voluntary choice whethef lie w ill appear before tho court nt all. If ho appears, lie is just as freo to ap* pear by attorney as in pofton. Judge Story, In his Commentarir* on the CoiiftilutioHj describes at length tho formalities observed ii> trials for impoach-j moflt. And the World cUpfitbe follow ing passage us corroborating tho inferen ces draw n from the rule of the court in' Judge Chase’s case: ‘ 7/ he"—tho person impeached —] “ ilnet not appear, in person or by attorney, hit itffqjill it recorded, and tub ^knatk MAY I’KOCEED EX PARTIK TO THE TRIAL OF the impeachment. If ho docs appear, in person or by attorney, his nppcnftmce is recorded.'’ There have been, in all, four casts of impeachment, since tho begining of our ( (governments nartiely, that of William I>lount| lrQt); John Bickering, 1803; j Bamncl Chnso, 1805; and James II. , Reck, 1881. The law govering such trials ns stated by Judge Btory, is foun- | (led on tho precedents furnished by those ! four cases. The argument of General | Butler in support of the position of Wendell Philips, that tho President must necessarily be suspended from of fice during tlm trial, falls to the ground in the face of this uniform triage. But ! oven if the exploded assumption of But ler wero correct, the taking of the Presi dent into Uinpi-rarjr custody Wotrid not operate ns a suspension from oflie.o. Jf lie should bo totally disabled for six weeks by typhus fever, wo suppose no body is absurd enough to say ho would cense to be President during his illness, and that the President ol tho Senate would bo inducted into the Executive chair. Tho Government would, in that case, bo administered hv tho heads of departments, and papers requiring tho Prjpdent’# name would remain unsigned bum his recovery. That his office could not bn tilled by another person during his transient disability, rimy be shown by conclusive analogy. Suppose ^IiVuTvIus tico Chase sh’nUld bo impeached; wonltl hip offico ho variant during Iho trial ?— It so, tho Presiiloilt could send* to tho ticnatoa nomination to $11 tho vacancy. For Chif-justicfi Chfcso to preside al tho triul cf tho President would bo also a great iniquity, although in conformity to the letter of tho Constitution. The President of the Senate presides in al! trials of impeachments w ith tho singlo ex ception that tho Chief-justieo takes his place when the President of the United States is tried. Tho reason which has always been given for this exception is solid and conclusive. It is, that the President of the Senato being the Con stitutional successor of a deposed Presi dent, is an interested party, and there fore unfit to conduct tho trial. This ob jection applies, Iri rill itis lbh:e; to Chief- justice Chase. Contrary to all former example, to all t-onso of fitness, to all tho decorum which beseems his groat office, the Chief-justice is a candidate for Presi dent ns Mr. Johnson's successor. His success in rcaobingfcho Prysideffejr de pends on excluding tho unrepVtsefitell States from participation in the election; and tho deposing of President Johnson is thought by the Rndicnls a necessary stent to their exclusion. With this grunt stako in tho result, Chief-justice Chnso is totally unfit to preside* at tho triul. F/.ow of liOT.n to the United States —The London Review has tho following: Tho influx of gold to the United States has ronthmed on a somewhat larger scale thn'ri nnd been looked for, although, in fact, amounting to no great sum. After tho enormous receipts from that country, a month or two hack, it is not much to have to return s»mo two hundred thou sand or three hundred thousand pounds in two or threo succcseivo weeks. Tho most satisfactory feature in tho move ment is tho confidence that it shows in the permanence of pence in America, and that, as far ns investors aroconcern- cl, the renewal of tho civil war in con sidered in the highest degreo remote.— As wo hnvo already had occasion to ob serve, thh belief is not only felt by En- gllsIiinUrt tthil Germans, but has latterly been shared by FrerieliriVch. Tho five- twenty bonds, which these shipments are made to pay for, nro ns eagerly, if not more eagerly, bought in Pans, ns in Lon don nnd Frankfort. Not very ninny> year* ago scarcely any foreign seen reties were quoted on the French bourse*, nnd. it is significant to notice how great an alteration has taken place in this respect. Except on our stock exchange, it may be doubted whether in any other capita! of Europe, not even in FnmkAfft or Am sterdam) foreign invcstlhenln are now so largely held as in Paris. Formerly, na tive capitalists would take nothing but iho ren es; now they a be ready to invest ia Jtaliaff, Spanish, Mexican (unfortu nately),and many other similar securi ties. Except, Ikiwovo)*, in hire instances; baited States bonds hnvb bl-cu in little lavor, and hence tho significative ol tho present demand. RcenV at a Radical Meeting—The National Intelligencer has tho following: Gen Cameron, in speaking nt tho late Ilnurishurg mass meeting, seeing Gen. Bni|io m the crowd, said : “ Thoro's your postmaster, Joe S nipe; I made him a Genofuil.” And rio sooner had ho uttered the words than them rung out in a clear, fciWky Voice from the audience, “'You aro a liar!

Ono day, Hlntnjun hnd been busily en gaged in making ''pyn'cji-butter,” nnd had deposited n large kettle of this de licious preserve on the kitchen floor, pre vious to transferring it to earthen jars. On doing so, she found it had been sure li ed, and much of the gummy, pasty sub stance, still adhered to tho liottoin nnd Bides of the latter, nnd this she proposed to put in a separate vessel; before doing so, however, she was called to another Wrt of the house, and inadvertantly left Little Mischief in possession of the pro mises. . , He fiVSt ,1’oHt ,1’n discovering the kettle, and the bUglll thl)\lght of gating into it immediately entered his head.— When ho peeped in, and comprehended the situation, I can imagine that his lit tle bosom swelled with nil tho proud emotions which wo might siljibse would hnvo filled tho hronst w AlbxuHder, hud his Prime Minister shown him it lihiri now world, all mapped out into king domsand provinces, waiting for him to conqnor. It w as a somewhat perilous feat, but with oorrago and tho aid of his little chair, it was at length accom plished, and ho snugly deposited himsolf therein. His quarters wero rather close but warm and pleasant, nnd ho doubt less enjoyed himself for a time amid his sweet surroundings; but ut lengln hav ing satisfied the demands of appetite, hewearried of his sweet retreat, and would lain have left it, but found to his dismay that bo could riot do so, for tho massed cooled it becnuiu more tena cious, nnd ns his curls wer'o glued to tho side of tho kettle, ho flitind himsolf a prisoner, and set up a bl'V of distress, which attracted our aUentiori. Now Little Mischiefs cries had mnnj 1 a varying tone nf pain, auger, or annoy- anco, which mamma, by long experience well understood; and sho immediately divined thut this was a cuse in which, in tho pursuit of pleasure, ho had not found the happiness ho anticipated, nnd it was with more anxiety to sco what damage ho had done, than what ho had sustained, thut wo hastened to the kitch en, Mi’erij Vvo foffiid |Littlo Mipohif so thoroughly incorporated with tli'o con tents of tho kettle, that it would have puzzled a wise man to tell which \Vrts preserve, and which baby. His \VnHi stubby shoes, grey worsted stockings, dhisH; curls, fair rtnmd fiieo and chubby hands, were, what housekeepers would call, a perfect quam," from which a pair' of roguish eyes peered out, with a look half comic, half serious, w hich seemed to say, “Whip mo, tna, but dontlaugh at trio I” For once in his life, if never again, Little Mischief might with great propriety lmvc been called “u very sweet child.” Water, soap, towels, combs, and clean garments were in requisition, and after much scrubbing, he was restored to his normal state of moderate sweetness, but before that was accomplished, 1 ato sor ry to say, the nbvblty of the gituatinh having worn off, mammy had scolded “sonic*,” sjiiiiikcd “a few,” rind Lillie Mischifs blue eyes had shed ertbhffh salt tears to have partially cleansed aud pick- led his round rosy cheeks. Little Miscliiol had a “sweet tooth” in his head, and this troublesome molar 'rimiulinics led him into depredations on tho sugar chest nnd preserve jars, when they wero left in his reach, and mamma found it difficult to make him compre hend tho oiiuwly of such offences, or mako him romomber that they wero for bidden. Entering the kitchen unK'peet- cdly one day, he was found insiisjilelous departing footsteps of Bummer, ami boro and thero a scarlet pash, of gj*ld nnd orimson ho«v rtroaming over the gieen dross of tho forest, told thut her ^doming band was at work .attiring.our fair Earth her gayest colors before loav- ieji)i'cr to iho bareness and desolation of Winter.
