fogKold Whig organ, redolent of national

would have belied that an old Henry Clay
Whig, of the log-cabin and bard-cidei atrfpe,
whose Ar?t leBSon* in politics was to hate the
Democrats and the d-Un the same degree,
would now bo dispensing poUjh-“l truth
through tlio columns of that old Dcinoi r.*uc
or-an the Maco* Tei.eguai-ii, nnd all under
the Democratic flag! And yet all these
things have come to pass, and that without
inconsistency in either of the parties or papers.
The country is in peril, nnd, as Mr. Jefferson
said in his day, “WO arc all Federalists and
all Republicans.” ”
A Self-constituted Commandeu-in-
emsr.—We see it stated in the New York
Tribune that Gen. Grant ‘ has issued orders,
calling attention of the Commanders of
Posts to the recent acts of Congress, that all
orders to the army must pass through his
Lands, that Lis Leadquarters arc in tLe city
of Washington, and that orders emanating
from any otiicr source must not be obeyed.”
Uen. Grant Las readily learned the Radical
lesson that the Constitution of the United
States Las ceased to exist.
gr General Hancock’s opinion of the sit
uation is very decided. It is understood that
in recent communications to friends lie de
nounces the attack? ot Congress on the other
departments of the Government as a now re
bellion more dangerous than that subdued in
the South, and odds that he fought to pre
serve a Constitutional Union, and not to meet
a negro partisan government.
Again Ridiculous.—When Old Tbad. Ste
vens’ Committee voted against impeachment
a few weeks ago, the old gentleman declared
they were all cowards, and that in future lie
would wash his hands of the business and
cease to make himself ridiculous before the
world. He lias been tempted, though, to try
his hand again, and again, duds that he has
“put his foot into it” The articles of im
peachment were all prepared under his super
vision; and to his satisfaction, nnd thus com
plete, were adopted by the House. Suddenly,
however, but too late, the old limb ol destruc
tion discovers an oversight, a fatal omission,
nnd'doclares that without his additional arti
cle tho whole impeachment scheme h not
worth shucks, that he could have driven
wagon and team through it when he was first
admitted to the bar ? Wo think it likely
Mr. Stevens is right in this opinion, but then
we think he arrived at the conclusion more
from his own consciousness of the inherent
malice and weakness of the whole movement,
and of the popular condemnation against it,’
than from any delect in the pleadings.- It
•n-su <or au excuse when the vilb
plot shall come tp naught.
P. S.—According to our night dispatches,
Mr. Stevens has succeeded in edging in liis
new article, and we shall sec what is to come
of it Indeed;' ns the matter stands, there is
no telling where nor when these charges are
to emr, for tho House has reserved to itself
tho right to amend its bill of indictment ad
infinitum, and moy present new ones ns fast
as the Senate disposes of tho old. It is due
to justice, and to its own self-rcspcot, that
the Senate reftiso to enter upon the trial until
the charges shall have bpen agreed upon and
declared final. The reservation at the dose
of tho impeachment articles is alike an out
rage upon the accused .and a confession ol
guilty purposes on the part of the accusers.—
It reads as'follows:
And .ilm House of Representatives, by
protestation, saving to themselves the liberty
of exhibiting at any time hereafter any
further articles or further accusations against
the said Andrew Johnsou,-President of the
United QWlas,• and ’also of replying to his
answers which ho shall rnnku 10 the articles
herein preferred against him, and "offering
proof to the same andevery part thereof, and
to nil and every other article of impeachment
which shall be exhibited by them as tlicca3c
shall require or demand.

THK REVOLUTIONISTS APPEALING TO
THE SWORD, M
A revolutionary usurpation, says the Nn
tional-Intelligencer, natuially shuns the arbi
trament . of the court* and prclcrs to invoke
' the sword. While the President is quiet and
almost unguarded in Hie Executive Mansion,
Mr. Stanton fairly brFUes with military pro
potation. General Grant is summoned to the
front, and responds with alacrity, only too
anxious to be avenged on the Constitutional
President, by whom his duplicity was un
marked to tlio couutiy. General Geary, tli
Radical Governor of Pennsylvania, informs
his friends here that troops arc being raised
to sustain Stanton’s usurpation. The Radical
Governors ot Iowa and Illinois also telegraph
their tenders of troops to the usurping Con
gress. The Grand Army of the Republic
talks of precipitating a hundred thousand
armed men upon the scene: and, finally, to
cap the climax, in comes, with sword and
fiuckler, the Irrepressible negro. A secret
‘Union Longue” of Africans, “four thousand”
strong, offers to be here in “ten hours,” to
pot dost) the President and the Supreme
Court,
Encouraged by all these military prepara
tions, the Radical speakers op the impeach
ment assumed a bold, menacing, and con
temptuous tone towards their opponents* the
Conservative masses; in substance accusing
them of cowardice, 1 and declaring their abili
ty and readiness to put them down with the
trongbnnd.
It is deeply to be regretted that this course
has been pursued. There is no occasion loir
violence or thrents of violence. If the con
struction ot the Constitution and the laws is
in doubt, or is disputed ; if the Congress and
the President cannot agree, then let the Su
preme Court say which is right. If there
are different views of public policy, let the
people go on to arbitrate and dccidc, as they
have been doing at every election whore they
have had nn opportunity for many months
past.' It is just these two things—the judg
ment of the courts and that of the people—
that the revolutionary party most dread. A
party pledged to revolution cannot afford to
go fairly into either forum; its only success
lies in the sword, or in the intimidation of its
opponents.
The last clearly will not answer. Tho in
solent imputations made by Radical leaders
upon tbe courage and manhood of the Dem
ocratic masses, their bold avowals of a pur
pose to use violence, has already led to
counter military demonstrations on tho part
of the people. The masses of the lund would
greatly prefer a decision by (he highest judi
cial tribunals, or to the ballot-box; but be
fore they aro cheated or bullied out of both,
they will make a resolute stnnd for the Con
stitution. Revolutionary violence will be
met by armed preparation on the part of the
people, who are intended to be subjugated—
a people eminently peace-loving and sick* of
public disorders, but too manly and intelli
gent to yield their liberties and Constitution
to the military demand of Stanton and Grant,
atul abundantly able, at the proper time, to
prove to the cowardly legislative defamera of
their courage that they have both the will
and the nerve to be free.
Jdjf The Ne\y York World has a state
ment that Senators J\ sendee, Trumbull,
Howe, Spruguc and others bavo already ex
pressed douM ns to the constitutionality ol
the law for the violation of which Mr. John
son has been impeached. Al.-.o, a state incut
that Chief Ju dies Chase is reported to it ive
said that tho President only noted in accord
ance with his legal rights in appointing Gt u-
cral Thomas Secretary of War ad interim.

ABSENCE OP FINANCIAL AND COM-
mercial excitement.
Wc have heretofore called attention to the
remarkable fact that while tho political world
is m n r —tempest and in dread of rad
ical, if not fatal, changes, tde great world of
commerce in money and prorin*H most
sensitive of material interests, remains un
moved. The Now York Times refers to the
matter, aud gives the following explanation:
This absence of excitement Is less the result of
Indifference than of an abiding faith in the Integ
rity of tlio Senate, and the ability of tho Govern
ment to oycrcomc more ecrioas difficulties than
any with which it is threatened. In some quarters,
perhaps, there is an unwillingness to believe that
Mr. Johnson will be convicted and removed. It is
thought iu these instances that the prosecution
wui tail, and that Mr. Johnson will be allowed to
6erve«H|t his term. This seems to be the ex
ceptional opinion, however, and has much less to
do with the i»*..yaHing calmness and confidence
than the reliance which prevails both as to the
comparative moderation of the Senate and the ab
solute ability of tho Government to endure all
trials. The people have not lost confidence In the
sufficiency of tlio Constitution fot all the pur
poses of government, or in ihe rectitude of the
Senate as a court organized for the performance of
a solemn judicial duty. They feel that the fierce
ness cf the partisan conflict will be expended in
tho Ilou.-e, and that when the case reaches the
Senate, It will be proceeded with according to the
law on:l the testimony. Beyond this, the people
rare little. For Mr. JohnsoD, personally or politi
cally, they are not solicitors. All they ask is, that
the office lie fills shall he respected, and that pro
ceedings allccting its occupant shall be conducted
Impartially, temperately and with the decorum
pertaining to a court of Justice.
The Times is only partly correct. The be-
• Hcf in Mr. Johnson's acquittal is not !‘cx-v.
ci ptional,” but the prevailing opinion among
sensible men everywhere. Were it other-
wife, there would be wild.confusion, for the
■overthrow and deposition of a President on
purely partisan grounds would be actual
revolution, rcsnlting- in a radical change of
government, if not iu bloodshed and fierce
civil war. . It is a firm Lclicf that the mnd-
ni is of the Hom e will be dishonored and ro-
buked by tbc Senate; that lies at the founda
tion of all confidence. Let the latter body
give the slightest intimation in’the : coming
trial that they arc in sympathy wilh such
conspirators as Stevens nnd Boutwell, and
you will see "Wall street and Change, con
vulsed as if by an earthquake.
Spe tof JO'u'tUrk to the lit iut f Not.|
Wasbisuton, February 27.-*-I-i transmit
ting; or printing my last night’s dispatch, a
sentence was omitted l>y Which your corn s
pnudenccis made to say: “The Senate will
disrobe of impeachment upon party conside
rations, after IhorniShcr of the House.”—
This is directly the reverse of my belief, and
against the best information obtainable on
the subject. In truth, there i3 good assur-
nnee that n large portion will, in the trial,
rise above party behests ami the fury that has
characterized the impeiichers of the House,
and that they will try the President fairly,
nnd render a decision according to the le.W
and the evidence that shall be {adduced,
which is as much as any good citizen could
ask of the Senate.
As stated in last night's dispatches, the
President yesterday directed that application
be made for a quo warranto, to require Mr.
Stanton to answer, etc. Doubtless tho pa
lters have beeu filed witb the District Court,
but the President has not received nhtice of
such filing.
A rumor has been circulating here to -the
.effect that Mr. Stanton lias determined tor.-
s-gn in a day or two. There arc some cir
cumstances which give color to this rumor,
but so far there dots not appear any direct
information to warrant tho statement'that
Mr. Stanton will resign. The reason assigned
for his withdrawal is, that he ' being out of
the WarDepartment, any legal proceedings
instituted by the President to test the con
stitutionality of the Tenure-of-offlce' act
would fail by reason of the reinoval of the
cause of litigation.
It. is argued by those who are advising Mr.
Stanton’s resignation that the adoption of
their plan would deprive the President of all
means of taking the controversy before the
Couits, and thus force him to* rely solely
upon the opinions and decisions of the mem
bers ot the Senate.
The Sqn’s dispatch of the "28th has the fol
lowing :
There is a decided determination on the
part of those who favor impeachment to rush
the whole matter, preliminaries and trial, at
a sort of previous question speed. But the
belief among those who rely Upon a majority
of the Senators for temperate, judicious and
just action is, that rc&sonabletimc will be ac
corded for full debate and calm consideration,
as well upon the preliminaries as upon the
final triaL •
The impeachment party say but two or.
three days shall be "iven to the President to
answer and prepare his defence, though there
dods not appear to be any ground for this un
fair proposition other thau the assertions of
outside managers of the impeachment pro
ject.
There arc many stories told of what has
been said privately by this or that Radical
Senator, and of what Chief Justice Chase
has said on the subject of impeachment, but
although, as lias been asserted, there may
have been loose and injudicious expressions
of opinion or feeling by a few of tbe Senators
who are actively managing the impeachment
matter in tho Senate, yet your correspondent
is warranted in stating that a very large ma
jority of the Radical Senators have observed
a becoming reticence since the adoption of
the impeachment resolution in the House, and
that the report that Judge Chase has, daring
the same period, conversed upon the merits
of the impeachment, cither in its legal or
political aspect, is wholly unfounded.

I shall not attempt in set terms, or set

I say to you, that iu an honest effort to

. CoMl-TROLLEll BUllNS IMPRISONED BY MIS
TAKE.—We learn, from a reliable source, that
although the authorities at MilledgevillQ in
tended to have Comptroller Burns arrested on
nccount-of his refusal to turn over to his Suc
cessor, Captain Wheaton, tho balance of his
books, papers, etc., and that the order was
mado out for liis “arrest,” yet they didnot in
tend to imprison him, at least for the present,
but to “parole” him until they were ready to
try liim either in a civil or military commis
sion, for liis refusal to turn over his remaining
books, etc., as directed. But by a mistake
in the reading of a name at Atlanta, he was
arrested and put in the barracks at Home on
Thursday, the lilth, where he remained until
Friday night, Ilia 1-itli inst. "
The error occurred in this way: There was
a mau by the name of Barnes in Jasper coun
ty who had killed a negro woman and fled
from justice. An order was also out for his
arrest and close confinement. The authori-
tiis at Koine, having heard that it was the in
tention of the authorities to arrest Mr. Comp
troller Burns, telegraphed to Atlauta that
I5urn3 was in Rome. The military authori
ties at Atlanta mistaking the name Burns
for Barnes, the fugilive from justice, immedi
ately ordered his arrest and imprisonment,
aud thus Mr. Comptroller Burns, the wrong
man, was imprisoned or put in the Barracks
at Rome, for having a name that, iu bad wri
ting, looked like that of Barnes.

The Abyssinian expedition.
Late letters from the English Abyssinian
army give some particulars of interest. Tbe
shore \>f the Red Sea at the point where the
army landed is low, .covered with sand as
fine as flour, with a stunted, straggling
growth ot bushes. The water near the shore
is gradually shoaling, so that even ships’
boats cannot come within two hundred yards
of dry land. Au immense wharf had to be
constructed to land stores and animals,' ex
tending outwards into the water for a distance
of three hundred yards, on which is a railway
which conveys freights to the camp.
Every drop of .water consumed by men
and animals lias to be condense I by steam
apparatus. All that is daily used by 10,000'
men and 4000 animals is extracted from the
sea'by the condensers. Much is made on
steamers whose machinery isst work day aud
night, While there are condensing engines on
shore. The water condensed by these means
is conveyed in troughs to tanks, where it is
gotten for use bytbemen and drank by the
animals, for whom tanks are especially ar
ranged. Every pound ot grass or corn or
food lor animals and men had to be brought
either from England or Bombay.
A range cf mountains running the-whole
iciigeu VC tuo osr» cH.ough Abyssinia stands
twelve miles behind the :Uu t. =-
difficult to cross tbe range,* and tho army has
a great obstacle in if. The first advance was
to Senafe, whither the.baggege animals have
been busily engaged in carrying the stores
for the army. The advance now at Senafe,
consists cf three .regiments—one English and
two native—and some sappers and miners —
(Then three months’ provisions are conveyed
to Senafe, the main body of the army will
move forward (o that point, and the advance
will move forty miles further inland to Atte-
ghrat. How far that is from MagflaJft* does
not appear ;’b'utWo suppose it cannot be far.
