WuthiHtjlatt, April 8.—A eiKN-inl aji
natch from Washington in thu Evening
Pont of Morxlay, giving u iuux.r that
Chief Justice Chime wa* the author ot
tbu live column aiiuju iu Llm .National
Intelligencer of Thursday, to the i fleet
thnt neither Mr. Wude nt»r Mr. Colfux
could legally aucceed Mr. Johtiaon in the
Presidency, has been made tho suhjuct
of discussion here.
Tills morning* Intelligencer Ims an
article on this subject, hut it tiers not
deny that Mr. Chuse or some of hi*
friends wreru responsible for thu publi-
ration in question. Ono of the editor*
of the National fntelligencer this morn
ing declined to Iffy tliut tho article wn*
not In tho handwriting of Mr. ChasoV
secretary, or that he tool It to tlm office
of that paper for publication.
Mr. ufiuHt*’* vecrs'lury (B-duy inform
ed.your eorros|w)ndunt thnt ho (the sec
ret ary,) did not take the article to the
office of thnt paper.
In renly to a question whether tho nr
:icfo diil pot accord with Me. CtinsuV
/lews, (he private secretary *nid It did,
but thnt this did not allow the infbreneu
'to lift drown thnt Mr. Chase inspired the
article.
It may bo interesting lo know that
during e conversation with Senator
Wilson, a fpw dey* ago, Mr. Chase ex-
prcH*ed view* prooisely similar to those
set forth in tju- lutelligc-ncer.
The ntsudiuess with whioh tho Re
publicans pernint iu oonom-.tliig the mime
of Child Justioe Chaso with tho article
in quoaliou, draws uttvnlion to an srgu
nuMit whioh might otherwise hav* pu*s
od without notice. Tho urticlo in the
National IntelUguncur wus uirilix and
oxhiiustivs, riftchfylhg ndffriy (ivo col
umns of that paper. We *dl uttetnpt
to reproduce, in a oondonsed form, tiia
suliatance of th< argument so fxr us it
is deduced imun dmU-l.y from tlio lan
guage of the constitution, omitting ull
allusion to the qulhtlerul und oorruboru-
tivo mailer drawn from other doouintuta
Perspiruily will be b«at attained if hm
begin by citing thu puragrsiJi of the
ennatitutinn whioh provides for vuuun
i-iea in thu of lice of I’rosidunt.
“In rnse of thn n-movel oftlis Prosi
dont from office, or of hia death, resigna
tion, or inability to discharge the jkiw
ors and duties of the ssid office, the
same ffhall dt-volve on the Vice Pn*sl-
dent; nnd the (Vmgn-se may by Inw
provide for the etise of removal, death,
resignation or imthiHty of both 1'resi
dent and Vice President, declaring what
officer *hnll then act as i resident, and
such officer shall set accordingly, until
tho disability Ihi renurvAl, or a Prcsi
dent slmll be elected."
It is evident from this tangungo that
Cnngrca* is not empowered to dcsignme
nnytxidy (hoy pfeass, but only some of
fleer of the tJnltod 8tat««. It i* also
evident, bill not ijnlle so self evident,
that tho constitution intends that the of
ficer pitched upon ahall rotoln his office
wiiilo (iutltfg temporarily as President.—
Ho could not resign thn office in conse
quence of holding which he become* act
ing President, without disqualifying
himself for dlitchurging tho IVnldoiitlsd
function's. If, fur example, C-obgro
should declare h v law that tho Gon (frill
of tho Artiiv shall, In sudi nn etnefgon
cy, act us PresidOnt ho would ho com
potent only *o long ns ho rcmulncd
General of tho Army. Tho duties of
tho President «re to be dinch.irgcd tern
pornrrty by some oj/htr, and if ha ouasos
to bo eiu h officer he forefi its his title.
The question on which ibis i-ontrover•
sv luma is, who arc officers? Is the
President pro lampore of tho Sunuto an
ollicer ? 1* the t-'puukur of tho Hoiino
nn uflicor ? Are tho members of the two
branches of (kuigroes officers ? H was
long ago derided, and the decision bus
buea universally ucquiosced iu, tliut
Bonutors nnd ReprcHontutivaa uio not of
ficers in thu coiislitutionul sense of that
word. If they arc officer* nt all. they
mo oot military but civil officers and
therefore liable to impeachment. An
attempt was made, in tlio Inst century,
to impeach a Senator, but the Senate
refused to try mm oh thu ground that
members ol Congress nro not officers.—
The constitution prouklc* thnt "the
President shall comujglnf) nil tho offi
cers of tho Ihiitod timles j" hut be docs
not i»mmixtiongJRibera of Congress or
the presiding officer oi cither Hi o j e —
Ah they do not net in virtue of n c >ni
mission from the President, they uro
not i Seers of the Cnited Status in tho
sonss of the constitution.
There ia another sense in which the
President pro tmjora and the fipenkor
ere uflicor*. The constitution sa^s; '‘The
House shell eluxiso their Fpeuker und
other i fficur*," and that ''tho Senate
shall choose their other officers and
Pi evident pro tamper a." But they uro
Hot officers of the Uuitvd Stutc*, but
lucre, officora of their riuqmctivu Houses,
and oDiet-in only in consequence of their
being rnmbtrt It' Mr. Wade should
reuse to be a Senator or Mr. Colfux

thoso duties can ho discharged, iu such

Now the constitution declares, in tho
Hrongest language of prohibition, that
"no person holding nny office under tho

neither MY. Wade nor Mr. C-olfax can
liwomo President while incn b -r* of
