tlicr in ' lowing paragraph wns amended and adopted:
, . . . ( .. r ’ ’Par. HI, Sec. 8.—The Clerks of the S'upe-

it is m party to tuc controversy
prosecution, wc submit: Would it be,-cither
constitutional or ju>t .hat it should sit
in judgment on the ca-o ? It may be that
there is no other mode <>F trial, and that if
the Senate be incompetent the accused must
go scot free; hut is this fact a satisfactory rea
son in itself why he should be tried in a way
that deprives him of justice and his legal
rights ns a citizen? Wo think not. If tho Con
stitution is defective and c.-.unot iineettbacasey
owing to a conllict of its provisions, we have
no hesitation iu saying that he should go'
untried altogether. We have no right to
violate law even for the good purpose ol
bringing offenders to justice. It were ficr
better for society that even the guilty should
go Unpunished, than for a precedent to be
established that .leads to the sulm-idon of
all law and the i establishment of arbitrary
power in the Courts.
Nor do- s this singular Conflict arise—as
some wbufd at first glance suppose—from any
defect in the Federal Con-t’.tution. It come3
from a defect in the <-as-j of impeacbmeut
under consideration. Tho framers of the
Constitution never estimated the true extent
of party spirit, its injustice and its despera
tion. They never supposed that a party
would grow up in this couutry. and take pos
so.-Siou of Congress by u more tlmu two-
thirds majority, who claimed to legislate ont-
sidc ot tho Constitution and in avowed con-,
tempt of its provisions. They never con
templated, when-providing fot trials by im
peachment, that an officer of the government
would, from mere partisan grounds, ancl be
cause he differed politically .with the major
ity, be arraigned for a high crimes and mis
demeanors.” No such spectacle as this,
so derogatory to the cause of free institutions
and popular • government, ever entered Into
their imaginations. Fresh from a struggle
them before (he expiration of their terms of
office, for good cause recorded on the minutes
of said Courts.
Tho substitute, ns amended, is ns follows :
The‘ county officers recognized as existing
by the laws of this State, and not abolished
by this Constitution, shall, when uot other
wise provided for in this Conststution, he
elected by the qualified voters 'oftheir re
spective counties or districts, and shall boll
their’office for a period of two . years. They
shall be removable oh Conviction • for mal
practice in office, or on tlie address of two-
thirds of the Senate.
The 1st paragraph, 7th section, was next
read as follows:
The Judges of the Supreme and Superior
Courts ami the'Attorncy General shall have,
out of the State Treasury, adequate.and hon
orable salaries, which shall cot he diminished
during -their continuance in office ; but Mid
Judges shall not receive any other perquisites
or emoluments whatever, from pnrties or
others,' on account of any duty required of
them. - • .
II. K. McCay offered the followtqg as an
additional section. It embraces the entire
relief measure as passed by the house :
Par. 1. No court in this State shall have
jurisdiction to try or determine any suit
against any resident of this State upon any
contract or agreement made or implied, or
upon any contract made in renewal of.any
debt existing priot-to the first day of June,
1805 ; nor shall any court or ministerial offi
cer of this Stato have any. authority to en
force any judgment, execution, or decree
renderod or issued upon r.uy contract or agree
ment ninde or implied’, hr upon any contract
in rcuewabof any debt existing prior to the
first day of June, I8GS, except iu the follow-'
ing c sea: r~. . T /
1. In suits^gainot trustees, when the trust
property is in theTmnds of the trustee, or has
been invested by him in the specific effects
now in his bands; and iu suits by tho venflor
of real estate against the vendee, where not
more than one-third of the purchase money
has beeu pabound the vendee is in possession
of the land <>r specific effects for which he
has sold it, end he refuses lo return the land
or said effects to the vendor. In such eases
for national independence and popular rights, the courts and officers may entertain jut is-
th.-y .v,tight t., throw nrotn-1 the !:■.., and of- diction to said
ficinl purity their protecting arms, and never
dreameel that they were putting a weapon
into the hands oT Congress witli which they
could punish all who differed from them in
their construction of the Constitution and
laws, and either overawe the oth^r depart
ments of the government or wrest them by
violence from the hands of their lawful pos
sessors. Baptised in the blood of the reyo-
lution and with minds t»nd hearts purely de
voted to the glory of their nation and the
welfare of their posterity, they built a fur
and noble political fabric, not suspecting that
before their bones had returned to mother
earth, the ruffians of party would be sapping
its foundations and polluting its altars. They
finished their work anil passed to their last
account, and where to-day arc the products
of their genius, their sufferings, and their
toil ? Let the events now transpiring at the
Federal Capitol, and the unhappiness that
bloods over this whole land MiWtr the quts-
tion.
What, then, is the issue presented by Abe'
House ct Representatives under th a form*. of
theConstitution, and soon to be tried by the
Senate, sitting in solemn council as a Court
of Impeachment i It not one contempla
ted by the framers of the Constitution—of
malfeastncc and corruption in office—but
simply a quarrel between the President and
Congress, arising, on his part, at least; out of
an honest difference of opinion on the' re
lations and powers of the two departments
under the Constitution. Here is the sole basis
of the impeachment proceedings so far asset
forth la* the published articles. Congress
lias passed-n law restricting tho Pre-ident in
certain powers exercised without question by
the Executive Since tbe beginning of tho'gov
ernment until tho present time, and held to
be authorized by theConstitution, and claim
ing to A ham selves eutire jurisdiction over thq
subject. The. President denies their right
jo pass such a law, 'in the first place, and iu
the second mhiptains tint even conceding the;
right, he has ehtito * no act thtA can
loo legally construed into- -a. violation
of their enactment, the Removal -of Mr.
Stanton, ope of his Cabinet ministers, not
coming within its purview. Here we have a
question eminently tho subject for judicial
investigation and settlement^ and all that the
President has done h.aS lo'. lted to the pro

will make a pica, supported by Ins aOidavUj
that he has reason to believe that the obliga
tion or evidence of indebtedness upon'widen
measure denies to those debtors to these trust
estate# tlie collections ot their dues. This is
like sending a man into a fight with his hands

of his neighbors, that we cannot well interfere

wc should so shape our action as to _ do i s

■ I consider the original proposition to re
lieve all men of ati debts op to the first of
June, 1865, bad us it is, much better than
this parti*) legislation which places one class
of debts above nnotlier, which “makes flesh
of one class of our people and fish of another
class.” Let us treat all our people alike, and
wc'sliall tlo right.
A. T. Akerman moved tlic following as an
additional paragraph: .
“Tho cohrtR-nnd ministerial officers of this
State shall have jurisdiction and authority to
collect debts due by third persons to trust es r
tates rising prior to June 1st 1865, notwith
standing the provisions of the forego1ng*par-
agrapb,” . . > . . , _
"in support of his proposed,addition, A. ..
Akerman said that-iri the-reltef-measure just
adopted, there was an important variation
trem,the relief measure passed a few weeks
ago. In the former measure, there was an
exception in l'avorof debts due to trust estates
by third persons. In the measure.just' passed,
that exception was made to depend on the
accident, whether the trustee w»s appointed
before or after .Tune 1. 1^65. Ue .appealed to
tbe Convention'to retain whatever there was
left of justice and-humanity in the original
measure. . . . - ,
•His proposition was desiguekl to save the
most helpless class in the community—the
widows and orphans interested in trust es
tates. Somo consideration wtis sho'wn to
these before, and he trusted that theConven
tio i would do them justice now.
H. K. McCay spoke in favor of his propo
sition. -, • ...
J. Harris- moved to lay the propositions

The votes stood ayes 41, nays 48. The
motion did not prevail.
The motion of J. R. Parrott was put, when

due and owing by him or her; and this or
dinance shall have retroactive operation from

J. R. Parrott, in moving to strike out the
exceptions in the relief ordinance, said: My
object is to give the people full and com
plete relief ngoiust all debts originating prior
to the first day of June, 1803.
1 conceive liint those exceptions jenucrtlio

WasiIisoton, March 1.—The condition
and temper of the public mind., here to day
has been in stroug.contrast with .the extraor
dinary'excitement and tone of feeling of one
week'ago. All is quiet to-night, though
there is much discussion oT the*impeachmcnt
articles, the probable result of the trial in the’
Senate, the dTebt- of a-ferdict of guilty in
case thc.Sennte should convict, etc. Dispas
sionate critics express surprise at the weak-
ncss'of the impeachment articles Rnd the pau
city of facts set forth therein to constitute a
crime or jjtis icmeanor, and the absence, of
proof of criminal intent ou the part of the
President. In this view sojaa of the Repub
licans coincide, and to pieet these objections
Mr. Jetickcs, of.Rhode Island, has given, no-'
tide.of ms. purpose of urging an additional

lished. - In 1831, in the case of Judge Peck, -of
Missouri,-the Senate made' in elaborate investi-
S ation into all the precedents, and established or
nil codo of rules for the government of euph
cases. Theso rules have sinco been applied in
one or more cases, and it will not be.uecessary
to spend anti, time in preliminary ji^aUers, fur
ther' 'then to organize promptly as'a'court.—
While the Senate is sitting as a court of im-
-pcncbment, the House of Representatives is
constructively present, and can do no legislative
basiuefs. The Honso acts as prosecutor in tbe
ca*e. It should not be uudarstooib h rover, that
no' legislative btisinfetfr <J.an be done whilotho
impeachment trial is going on. On tbo contrary,
it is probable tl-.at Congress will devpto only cer
tain hours of the day and certain days of tlio

usual business at the same time.

prices suddenly dropped, botli on iho spot and to ar

showed no disposition tg sell, and notwithstanding we

even stronger in this tpspoot than tt vtea a. u *e.< ago,

this wo ndd tho decrease of supply at sea and 111 tho
American port^, acQOrcfin? .to our latest advice?, \vo
have a total apparent deficit m supply, as 00raptured
with last year, of 533,(f-O-balcs. Indian Cotto-i seems
likely to get exhausted altogether in a few weeks; we
have now on hand, according to our ligures, about
73 4SQ bales, and as the trade and export demand liaye
taken an average of .47.4:11 bales per week during this
vear wc have only on baud about tw > weeks supply.
The arrivals from India for two months to come
must bo on an exceedingly moderate scale, and will be
consumed as fast as they are impor ted.. 1 he total con
sumption of Cotton in the United Kingdom is now
about 10,WO bales per week more than it was i.-styenr;
tho actual deliveries for tra lo and export excohd the
deliveries for tho corresponding weeks, last year by
201.930 bales, while prices in the A merman purls are
relatively L-d to %d dearer than here. VI ith the very
«mall stookdf Sarai*. we may cc-nhdcntly loos for a
very large dt-mand for American Cotton, especially of
those grades which can besteupply tho place of Indian.
All these things are in favor ot Cotton, and it wo add
that Continental affairs look very quiet and promising
rt thc'present moment, it really looks as it wo must
have higher prices. On the other hand, the quantity
of Cotton in aud afloat for Continental markets is very
considerably in excess ol lust year; paces arc now
about l%d pci* lb higher than the lowest poin ttouched:
Speculators aro beginuiog-to look upon Cotton ope
rations as kasinioos; Spinners have now a largo
quantity on band and afloat: and U is not improba
ble, should there be any further material advance, in
prices, it may check -business at Mflnchcjter; spin
ners may then hold out of tho market, and tvo any
have a backward turn in prices. \>c have no douht
that, on account of the recent advance here, rauen le?3
Cotton of the old crop will be held back in the States
than was at one time anticipated, and it is expe tea
that, as tlie tax has been removed from the crop ot
,lSd8. astimulus will be given to planting, and more
cheerful accounts will reach us from the fa outturn
'States than we have been receiving lor somo time
past. It is considered, however, that the course: ot
prices for some weeks*to come will bo greatly -luliu-
enced by tho receipts, at American ports, and if
they should fall short of what is anticipated here, it
will have a marked effect on prices. ^

Daring late years the public have been misled by

frauds upon the sick, far they not only contain but

has become synonymous with imposition and cheat.—
Still we call this compound “Sarsaparilla,” and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from
the load of obloquy which rests upon it. We think
wc have ground for believing it has virtues which are
ixresistiblo by the class of diseases it is intended to

dfent next November there is conjVct.of
ion; but the most difficult queries arc In
volved Iu the probable status of Ohio-in tbo
ifoited States Senate if Mr. YVadc shall sue
c^qd Mr. Johnson in the Executive chair.
, In this discussion among the RadjcaU the
following questions are put:
First. Is Mr.Julr.Aon the President, or is,
he Yicv-President acting as President^ or. docs
iu.; thi' Constitution make him absolutely
President 1 Tha committee on ibeiuTicles of
inuGNicirmcnt appear to hove decided this
query for themselves, end hold that Mr. Jobn-
t-on is President, whether ox-oiiicio, or i.ow,
does not appear, but that ho is "President—
eke Chief Justice Chaso cannot preside in the:
trial
Second. If he is President, does it follww
that Mr. Wndu is Vice-President, or oriy
President of the Senate ?
Third. If he is only President, of the Se n
ate, he is Senator from Ohio; and does his
elevation to the Presidency of tho United
States, or acting as such, vacate his office of
Senator? Is he Mill Senator from Ohio
while acting as President of theUnited States?
He is, while acting as President of the Senate,
yet a Senator; docs liis accession to the
.... White House take him out of the Senate ?
■ ' 6 He is only Vice-President pro tempore, be
cause lie'is Senator; is the Scuator tho
foundation of botli elevations?
Fourth. If be be uo longer Senator by
reason of his promotion to the Presidency ol
the United States, how is Ohio to be in
formed of the vacancy iu her .Bonatprship ?
Bv whom is that State to be notified and
when ? If such'vacanoy and notification oc
cur whilst the Ohio Legislature is in session
—and it will likely be m session for three
months—u Democrat will succeed Mr. ’Wade
in the United States Senate. It the Legisla
ture shall not bo iu session when the vacancy
occurs, Governor Hays will, of course 1 , ap
point a Republican. Such arc somo of the
problems and possibilities that arc to-night
revolving iu tho minds of leading Radicals,
who say “they are of sufficient importance to
give us a pause.” , . , . .
The President has uot yet selected his
counsel for the trial, but among those named
as iiktly to ho relanied are Benjamin Curtis,
David Dudley Field, Charles O’Conor and
Mr. Brady, of New York; Judge Black, cd
Pennsylvania ; Hon. Will, B. Gi oesback trad
Senator elect Thurman, ot Ohio. It is pre

for counsel the same number of gentlemen

Impeachment question; and some new pmitieiil afc- ,

The daily and weekly receipt- at the ports continue (
to be moot closely watched, and exert the tcost pow
erful influence on prices. The late nso seems to hare
had little effect ou shipments irom the interior, nl-
though if prices had not arisen tuo amount coining .
forward might have been less. Itis generally believed
that current rates will bring out nearly all the crop
made, and that tlie repoal ot the tax in beptemaer
will throw a much smaller proportion of IM* y®nr o
crop into this year’s count than was nntieipctad w hen
quotations were much lower than at present, eomo
,-oetions begin to report Cotton as soaree, aud next
month should show a material reduction in the weeklj
receipts.
