In "another part of our paper we
present our readers with a fifteen m in-

upon the Impeachment question. It
is well condensed and will ba found to
reflect the views of his constituents

Vehy little business of goncral in

Members of Congress, is occupied with
tho Impeachment proceedings.
To tax the bonds out of existence is
now the darling project of those who

this Democrats can't agree.

arc awaro I did not approve of the
resolution of the gentleman from Ohio,
Mr. Ashley, when liwt prc-onted in
the Republican cnneiH, and afterward
in tho House. It was at that time
unwise, impolitic, and tended to a di
vision of our friends, and it certain
defeat on tho grounds then presented,
to the encouragement of our political
opponents, and from it tho President,
much disposed to do vron, "would

lie has called to his intimate counsels
some of thoso who were violently and
openly opposed to the war to save the
Union, and has a3 studiously avoided
and disregarded the advice of those J
who tad mo3t to cleat mm, bum to nut
in preserving our unity as a nation.
Notwithstanding all the array of of
fmees, and many I cannot enumerate
in the time allotted me, I was opposed
to the first attempt to impeach, because
while I thought these otlenses were
great, they might not he considered as
intentional violation of law, and could
not, in the common sense of the term
be considered high crimes and misde
meanors. I hen, naiii, 1 know the
country demauded peace and harmony
in council it possible. I learea tne
monetary and commercial interest of
the country would sutler by the con
stant agitation of the question, and I
believe a large majority of the people
I have tho honor to represent were op
posed to it, and in this I was correct
as I have had ample evidene? since.
Now the question presaats itself in a
tangible and definite form, and the
very trouble and difficulty the major
ity of the Republican members of this
House desired to avoid is forced upon
U3 by the act of the President himself.
Mistaking our forbearance forfe.iraud
cowardice he boldly, defiantly, openly
and for a purpose, tramples under foot
the plain constitutional provision
which reauirca his nominations for po
sitions, reouirine the concurrence of
the Senate, to bo made to tho Senate
when in session, and appoints aud
commands General Larcnzo Thomas
to takes posession of the War Depart
ment when he knew there was no va
cancy, and when the Senate was in
session. The President well knew the
reasons ho had presented to the Sen-
ate for the removal of Secretary Stan
ton had been carefully examined by
the Senato and pronounced insufficient
and that he by the action of that body
hd bvii restored to the nosition from
which he had removed, him but, ad
mixing that there was a vacancy, he
had no rizht to appoirtl a " successor
without sending the nomination to the
Senate, flow, our opponents, ami es
pecially my worthy e)leneue, Judge'
cpublicou, cfrncgfraK, IHIarcU 25, 1803.
Woodward, who in his speech' invited
the President to a violation 'of tho
laws and rcMistam to tho action of
the Senate should they find him guil
ty, dwells largely on the fact that tho
"civil-tenure act" is unconstitutional
and void.
My friend has not yet had tho de
cision on the question. Lawyers who
are perhaps ns uble as ho think differ
ently and affirm it is constitutional j
and I desire here to pay I voted
against the provision in that act which
refers to the Cabinet officers, believing
the President should liavo the choice
of his Cabinet officers, and I would do
so again ; but our Democratic friends
must ritiiumb',-r th'it tho President has
no more right to judge of the consti
tutionality of an act than the humblest
citizen in the land. It was passed
over his veto by the requisite majority
ami is to him tin I to every other man
affected by it the law, and niu-t be
obeyed. The President does not con
strue the law. It is his high duty,
.enforced by the solemnity of his oath
to execute tho law ; and because he
failel to ilo so and trampled it under
foot ho is worthy of impeachment.
That is not all. ilo deliberately calls
General Emorv to bis presence, and
ai'icr diligent inquiry about the mini-"
le r ot troops now here and near the
capital, which Itself was significant ns
to his purpose, lie tries to induce mm
to believe the act which reriuire 1 him
to tret his orders through the head of
the General in command of thu Army
was unconstitutional, and therefore not
bindiiiir on him. I be reply of Clen'l.
Emorv was worthy of so brave and pa-
trioticasoldier. What was tho purpose
of tho President in nominating ucn
.Sherman, and again Gen. George II
Thomas, to thu .Senate for promotion,
so us to enable tliein to take command
of this district? Tho object was plain
and worthy of note, nod these men
honored by nil the people of the land,
have uubliclv rebuked the attempt to
seduce them iu thil public manner.
They have proved themselves obedient
to law mid worthy ol the ingh honor
tendered to them bv the millions of
patriotic men in the Republic, After
the Senate Inn acted nil i the President
is deposed confidence w ill be restored
and we will ba ali.e to carry out our
measure of rceon ilruction without the
o i.a'tion of the rebels of the South
nnil their nllies in the North, and so
cure totho loyal men of the South Iheir
rights under the Con ilitution and the
acts of Congivsa.
it- cannot bedi;:ii"d that tho Presi-
d. nl has used all his o'.li.'ial power and
iuiluenee to defeat our incisures of re
construction, has invited and encour
aged tho leading rebels of the South to
oppose an 1 aid in tho defeat of our
p!au to bud I up otate (jovernmeuts
in the South, an 1 has been in a meas
ure successful; (or the best, most mild
and fair proposition we ever nmle was
the nmcndmc.its proposed to the Con
stitution in l-!(i!J, and on which we
should have stood until this time and
compelled snbmi.-sion to them. The
people indorsed them fully, and, for
my own pa it, Lmuch preferred them
to" any lnea-uro adopted since. No
plan, however, to bring in thes-t! States
which CVngiv3 can (r.vent will ra

and had it iut beeu far his persistent

tion oi th j iJiinocratic party, we
would long fiiti'-e have had those States
represented on this floor, and harmo
nv and peace i:i too country. Now
Mr. Chairman, my time is out, and I
only desire further to say that when
the President is removed in a con
stitutional way (and I hope it will be
dons in no other way) there will be
rejoicing amon all the loyal people of
the land, not because of the triumph
ot Congress over the 1'resiueut, hut
because the Constitution nnd law are
vindicated, and tho world will see
ihaU'Von the higher officer under our
form of Government is amenable to
the law and can be punished for its in
f'r.iction. Let the majesty of the law
be vindicated and loyal aud true men

Maior General John F. Ilartranft
tho candidate, for tho second" time, of
tho Republican party of Pennsylvania
for tho office of Amlilor General, al
though young in years, lias made for
himself a name that will hint as long
as the story of our war. lie is a citi
zen of Montgomery county, and adds
to a tried military' genius and uniiii
peached integrity high social and in
tellectual claims' To thevery firslile
nmiid of the country for men General
HartiHiifl responded in person. He
left Norristown with u regiment raised
under the call of tho martyred Lin
coln, issued April 15, 1801, his own
commission bearmir date April M.
Prom that tune to the etui ol tho war
ho served continuously on tho field
first as colonel ot tho 4th Pennsylva
nia, a three months organization, and,
on tho disbanding of that regiment, A3
colonel of the 51st Pennsylvania vol
unteers, which ho commanded until
Mav I I. 1801, when ho received n
commission as brigadier geinr.tl, and
was assumed to a command conlmen
surnte with his rank. We havo uot
time to recito in detail tho brilliant
scrv ices of our d ist i n mushed cand idale.
It is only necessary to mention fur
ther that his commission as major
irencral beam the ever memorable date
of the capture of Fort Stead man
that splendid achievement which U
lustrated the closing days of tho war,
and crowned with imperishable lumo
all ivho participated in it. this was
on the 25th of March, l8(io. Gener
al Ilartranft was complimented on the
field for his dashing and well sustain
ed (hai'ire. After the close of active
hostilities, General Hartranlt was re
tained in the army on provost duty,
having charge of the troops detailed
ffir that service during tho trial of the
cnspinitors. On his muster out he
was offered the colonelcy of the 31th
Regiment United Stales Infantry,
which for private reasons reasons be
declined. This same commission was
then tendered to General IVimyp ack
er. August 17, ISO 1, General Ilar
Iranft was nominated by the Repub
lican Stalo Convention, silting nt
llarrisburg, as the candidate of the
party for Auditor ( icucral, au ofiiec
which he has for three years filled to
the rare K.ttisl'uclinn of tho people of
the State. A bravo soldier a compe
tent public officer, mi honest man, wo
put him forward again, and confidently
await tho result.
Colonel Jacob M. Campbell, of
Cambria county, placed in nomina
tion by the Republicans for tho .Sur
veyor Generalship of theState is a vet
eran of tho West, and a worthy com
rade of his eastern compeer, General
Ilartranft, who now divides with him
the honors and gratitude of the Com
monwealth. He entered the service
July 31st, 1801, under the call of that
month, as colonel of the 71th Regi
ment Pcnrisyl vani.i Volunteers, and
served out his full tr rm. Across the
AUeghrnios Colonel Campbell's name
i3 a tower of strength. Hard service
though the war, high personal charac
ter at home, and an unblemished of
ficial record, commend him suceo'sful
ly to tho substantial yeomanry of the
State. Like Hartranff, he is not a
politician,' having never held office
before the war, and having never ask
ed or worked for it at any time. It is
worthy of note that on Ute lichel which
u-3 ojflW lo-divj the ojiica have both
sou'ld the men.
To the soldiery of Pennsylvania be
longs now by the right of courtesy
tho honor of lighting and carrying for
tho Republican party tho coming
campaign. That political organiza
tion whose history is forever identified
with tho war for freedom and the
Union, in tho re-nomination of Hart
ran Tt nnd Campbell, distinctly and
avowedly in recognition of and grati
tude for the services of tho soldiers of
tho nation, have paid a graceful and
substantial compliment that will not
bo f. irgolteu. It is a tribute from the
loyal people of Pennsylyania to the
memory of the dead, and a pledge that
the Commonwealth will take care of
the meritorious living. It is an em
phatic assurance that the promises of
the Union party to too soldiers were
not madoto the ear only to be broken
to tho hope.

of Crawfish, and about seven miles up
the river.
Tho ill-fated boat was tho Magnolia,
ono of tho regular Cincinnati and
Maysville packets, and the most popu
lar boat upon tho line. She left her
dock at the usual hour, 12 M., with,
as U estimated, fully one hundred and
six passengers on board, and in about
an hour afterwards the explosion took
place.
Mr. Gus Miller, wdio resides oppo
site where the catastrophe occured, put
off in a skiff to tho rescue of the un
fortunates on board. He Ktatca that
after tho explosion the boat went some
distance ahead, and be pulled a mile
before the flames burst forth, so that
ho estimates tho interval at neatly ten
minutes. When bo arrived near the
wreck, a most fearful sight presented
itself. Reneath the guards a dozen
men were clinging, and shrieking for
help, while the llames were seething
their heads, hands and faces.
Tho beat was so intenso that it was
Impossible? for the skills to approach
near enough for tlnir rescue, unci one
by one they dropped into the water.
One man who still remained on the
bout, with a Utile girl in his arms,
snouted t tho men in the skiff, "for
God's sake to savo the child." While
tho firo was scorching behind, until
the heat becoming intolerable, he
dropped thu littlo girl into tho water,
and then jumped overboard himself.
In tho meantime other skills had
put out from the Ohio shore, and by
dcHperate exertion many persons prin
cipally ladies, were rescued 'from the
burning wreck. Two, however, were
swept beneath the guards, and eveiy
ellin t to reseu'.' them was in'vain. One
mini was seen hanging to the hog-chain,
his beard nnd the hair of bis head
burning. Mr. Miller shouted to him
to let go, and he dropped into the
water and was saved, although terribly,
injured by thu flames. Another,
badly burned, was taken off the rudder,
but the raging clement was so rapid in
its progress that but short time was
vouchsafed either to the victims or
those who c.nno to their nid.
The steam lug Falcon came up, and
took some twentv-four of the injured
on board. The sUamer Panther, too,
was headed a3 rapidly a3 possible to
the scene of the disaster, and brought
a ereat number of tho unfortunate
people to the city. The scene on these
boats was of the most harrow ing de
scription. Many of the poor creatures,
half charred, were moaning piteously,
while others lay in a state of stupor,
happily for the time being, oblivious
to their terrible condition. During
the progress to the city every attention
was devoted that kindness could
suggest, and mining was left undone
that could in any wise alleviate their
suffering.
The books were all destroyed, so
that it is impossible, at this time, to
ascertain how many perished. In the
present case it may bo iiiimpossihle to
ascertain how many have been lost by
this terrible disaster,, six deckhands,
whoso names arc unknown, arc report
ed lost, w hich makes a total of fifteen
lives.
Tho Magnolia was built at Cincin
nati in October, 18ot), and was 2001
feet in length, 33 foot beam, with 6 feet
depth of hold. She had three boilers,
each 5 1 feet in length, 46 inches in
diameter and fiix feet stroke. The
total los of life will probably exceed
one hundred persons.
