In the excitement ainl contusion of ideas pro
duced by the political and party contests oarrioil
on all over fhe 'country, tue great underlying
question Is hardly realized or, recognized. Meu
rc apt to think that the point on vhich tlio
elections turn is'Micthcr the President or Cou-jm-cs
Is to be sustained, whether the refitoration
of the seceded States Is be accomplished ly
Executive will p in accordance with. ' the direc
tion ot tbe national Legislature, and whether
tht Democratic party Ih to rename the power
whirl! it abused and lost or the Government Id
to remain in the hands of that party which re-pre-tents
the idas and policy that prevailed in
the terrible contest out of wnich the nation has
m recently emerged. To a certain extent these
questions are involved in the present elections
but only fis collateral or subsidiary questions. .
The real issue, which li" deeper than those of
the present contest, and which is to take shape
mid prominency in the next session of Congress
and iu the elections of two years hence, is,
'What party bhnll have the governing power in
this country lor the next halt-century or more?"
The unseemly and unrhgnitied personal squab
bles between President Johnson and the mem
ber of the present Congress are but disgraceful
incidents iu the politics of the times, and cun
not atTect, one way or the other, the solution of
the great question which we have here indi
cate!. What, then, is to bo the future governing
party of the United States? We know what
party has governed it, with but lew intermis
sions, for eighty years and more, up to the
commencement of the Rebellion; but that party
run govern it no more. We know that the
ideas' ot the leading politicians of Kastern Vir
ginia nr.d South Carolina controlled the Gov
ernment from the days when the Constitution
was formed, down to those gloomy days when
Buchanan, inspired by them, declared to Con
gross that there was no iowor under the Con
stitution to coerce rebellious States into sub
mission. With the election of Mr. Lincoln to the Pre
sidency in 18iU the death-knell of that power
was tolled. The Southern politicians beard It
with prophetic ear, and knew too well whai it
foreboded. They recoenized iu it the doom of
their old pro-slavery, State-rights ideas, and the
growth ot a bt iter and stronger and truer sys
tem ot republican government. Pro-slavery,
fcStatc-rights democracy, fell in 18G0, never to
rise again. Driven to desperation, the leaders
and adherents ot the decayed political faith
took up arms, and, with a resolve to govern
either in or out of the Union, made a tremen
dous effort to destroy the lite of the nation.
foiled in that attempt, and doubly defeated
on the political held and on the battle-field, they
gave up the struggle, and have abandoned, com
pletely and forever, we believe, those dogmas of
government which they have been forced to
Tecognize as un tilted tor the present age. The
Democratic party, therefore, as the representa
tive of those political dogmas, has ceased to
exist; and the organization which now assumes
that name has hardly anything in common with
that party which so long ruled the country.
To say, therefore, that there is a political
ooutest going on between the Republican and
"the Democratic parties as these were known
up to the overthrow of the Rebellion would be
a mUapplication of words. The living cannot
tight with tbe dead. But there ia a great con
test going on between the representatives of
opposing ideas in Congress and among the
people.. One side represents the. principle vce
Ticlu wo to the vanquished in its extremist
and most ruthless form, and advocates general
confiscation throughout the late Rebel Stales,
the distribution ot their lands among the colored
population, the enfranchisement of the blacks,
and the disfranchisement of all who took part
in the Rebellion, meaning all the white citizens
of the South. ,
Its champions are the remorseless Stevens,
the conceited Sumner, and tbe loud-mouthed,
bellowiug Butler, the mock hero of Bethel aad
Fort Fisher, and projector of the tamo as Dutch
Gap canal. Tbe other side, supported by the
moderate men 01 an political parties, ana end
ing adherents even in the Southcra States, in
sists on nothing more than those guarantees for
the future which the acts ot the past seem to
render necessary.
Those gaarantees are embodied in the amend
ments to the Constitution proposed by Congress
at its last session, and submitted to the States
for ratification. When those amendments are
engrafted on the Constitution, as they un
doubtedly will be, then will commence the rule
f that party which will be the governing party
of the future, aod under which the strides of
this country to greatness and power will out
strip in tbe last third of this century its wonder
ful progress in the first two-thirds ot it.
We have seen how the political party which
embodied the views of the extreme men of the
Bouth has been extinguished.1 We are now to
see how the embodiment of the views ot the
opposite extreme is to share a like fate. New
England ideas of government' are no more to
prevail In this reconstructed republic than are
the ideas ot Eastern Virginia and South Care
lina. The practical common sense of the
American people realizes the truth of the old
Latin maxim, in medtaa res tulisaimus ibis that
safety lies in the middle course in moderation.
It Is neither to extinguish the political life ot
Southern communities, nor, on the other hand,
to restore them to their former power in the
control of tbe Government, that the people of
the great middle States,' extending from the
Atlantic to the Pacific., put out their strength to
crush the Rebellion. The people of those mid
dle States are well aware that it was their
armies that won the victory, and that they are
equally determined that their political doctrines
a hall rule the country.
The question, as we have said, does not de
velop itself in the elections now at band; but it
will assume form and dimensions and great
ness in the next session of Congress, and par
ticularly in the sessions of the Fortieth Con
gress, aud will come up for final decision in the
elections of 1808. What the result will be no
observant man can doubt. The extreme politi
cal doctrines of New England will be trodden
under toot and crushed out of existence just aa
ihnrnuphlT as have been those of the South, aud
the party which adopts the modern and mode
rate views of policy will be the governing power
of the country tor me new nan century or more,
in nthpr words, the Dartv designated "radl
cals" will share the fate ot the secessionists, and
iht which is now known bv the name of "con
servative" will be the controlling party of the
future. m
Houses for th Poor
from the Tribune.
Mr. A. T. Stewart, it is saia, has offered to
expend $1,000,000 In erecting dwelllBgs for the
poor of our city, provided the city shall give
the ground whereupon to build them. The
houbes, we infer, are to be leased for whatever
Tents they will command, and the net income
constantly applied to the building of more
habitations, carefully adapted to the needs and
means of the industrious poor.
The gilt is noble one. and Its object most
deserving. Wretched habitations are here a,
JruitftU source of vice, crime, disease, and
death. There are, many more thieves, burglars,
drunkards, and lost women in our city than
there would bo if honest industry were amply
supplied with decent, commodious dwellings at
reasonable rates,
our tenement-houses are, for the most Dart.
lUtels on Cbristlaaity and tke nineteenth cen
tury. They arc at inconvenient and unhealthy
a they could well lie mndo. They eeem calcu
lated to destroy all instincts of modesty, doli-i
enev, decency, and cleanliness. That portion
of our workers who can atlord to live live to
ten miles trom their work may be quite com
fortably and cheaply housed; but most ot the
poor whose avocations confine them to the
lower bslt of lhl Island ate lodged abominably.
Mr. Stewart's philanthropy hna taken an excel
lent direction, nnd we truht It may serve as an
cneotnngcnient toothers.
We hope, therefore, that he has not deter
mined (as U reported) that his peaerous gift
shad be expended in buildinit small houses lor
the isccommodatlon of scpnrate families. He
might as rationally buy or hire five hundred
stores lor the transaction of his dry goods busi
ness. The great economics which distinguish
our nge nre achieved In an opposite direction.
An edifice covering a block 400 by 250 feet, or
then about, six stories high, with a single, en
trance from the street, a limn and wife keeping
the door and supervising everything, with,
lodirinurs In the attic for virtuous, industrious
sinelo women only at very moderate rotes, nnd
all tbe modern appliances of gus, hot air. hoist
wnys, etc. etc., with a promenade on the
roof, a children's play-gronud in the centre,
and a common sittine and rcadlnir-room lor all
the 'inmates, would afford comfortable house
room lor more people than could be sheltered
onahundnd separate city lots at a like cost,
while the comforts of the spacious edifice would
be immeastirablv the trreuter. We bee Mr.
Stewart not to decide this point until he (.ball
nave consinerea plans and estimates iwnicn
shall be lorthcomine), for an edifice which will
afford at once Dlcasant. commodious homes
for at least a thousand person", smrnestion and
ucltenient to capitalists and philanthropists of
other cities, and an ornament and honor to this
emporium of the New World.
The Amcudmcut aud the South'.
From the Timet.
Sundry journals aud public nun iu the South
ern States are beginning to urge the acceptance
of the Constitutional umendment, as expedient
and wise. It would scarcely be coirect to speak
of the movement in this direction as general or
influential, but the fact that it has been started
at all is not without significance. We think a
good many prominent and judicious Southern
men are really in favor ot it, who are as yet un
willing openly to advocate it.
There )s one point the South ouaht to bear In
mind: Tbe only parts of the amendment open
to serious objection are temporary in their ope
ration. By chancing the rario ofrepresentation
their political power is reduced, but only until
they find it wise and sate to apply the same
qualifications for suffrage to both "blacks and
whites. Whenever they cau put both races ou
the same tooting, aud allow both to vote upon
the same conditions of education, property, etc.,
they become entitled to their full representation
In the ordinary course of things, this result
must be attaiucd bciore many years. The same
thing is true, to a still greater extent, of the
dtstrsnchisiug clause- It excludes fiom ofliee
certain classes of those who have been active in
the Rebellion, but Congress may at any timo,
by a two-thirda vote, remove this disability. It
peace and order again prevail, and matters re
sume their normal course in the Southern
States, but very tew years can elapse before
Congress will be very triad to remove this dis
ability altogether, aud In regard to many
Southern men, there is little doubt it would be
removed very soon.
The South may .very well consider, there
fore, whether It would not be wise to accept
these temporary inconveniences for the sake of
the permanent and substantial advantages co be
gained thereby. There is very great danger to
the South and to the whole country in keeping
this question open . for heated and protracted
agitation. The condition of every State will
become worse and worse with every day of
delay. If the contest were closed and the South
restored to its proper relations with the Union,
the tendency of events would be to pacify and
harmonize 'the country. The South certainly
can well afford to make some sacrifices of feel
ing for the speedy attainment of such results.
Impeachment of the President.
from the World.
The extract from General Butler's speech
which was telegiaphed from Cincinnati, and
published by the city papers on Monday mora
ing, puts the point maae by Wendell Phillips in
a recent number ot the Anti-Slavery standard
in the most plausible shape that can be given it
by an expert and . ingenious .lawyer. Phillips
contended that an impeachment would amount
to nothing unless the President is suspended from
from office while it is pending. Butler describes
method by which tljis Buspensiou is to be accom
plished. " The President, says Butler, from the
moment the' articled of impeachment are pre
sented to the Senate, becomes subject to arrest,
and If the Senate so direct, to imprisonment, by
their Seigeant-at Arms.' While thus in custody,
the President is incapable of discharging the
duties of his office, which becomes temporarily
vacant. It would be filled by the Vice-President
it there were one, but there being none, by
the President pro tempore of the Senate.
This ingenious fallacy rests upou an assump
tion which a little scrutiny will easily explode.
The assumption is, that an officer under im
peachment stands in the same relation to the
tribunal appointed to try him that an ordinary
crimiuul does to an ordinary court. Because a
court of justice never tries a criminal unless it
has custody of his person, it is interred that tbe
same rule holds In the trial of an impeached
officer by thd Senate.' The analogy fails in cou
sequence of a total difference in the liability of
th nersons accused. The Constitution declares
that "judgment .In cases of impeachment shall
not , extend iurtoer man removal . lrom
office" and diSduanticauon to hold any tuture
office. It is hot necessary for the Seuate to
have the custody .pf . the accused iu order to
inflict this punishment, liut an . ordinary
criminal, on trial for theft, murder, or other
crime, is uame to oe punisnea oy positive in
flictions on his person. It would be an idle
folly to go thrqugh th. form ot passing a sen
tence of death, or. imprisonment if . the culprit
was beyond the reach of the officers of the law.
A person lmpeacneu ot a crime uiuerwise puu
ibbable than by deposition Trom office, is also
liable to the ordinary penalties or the same
crime by the judgment of the ordinary tribunals.
The ; impeachment, having no other aim than
simply to vacate his office, can accomplish its
purpose JUSt as Weil Wlinoui vuc cunuuj ui uiB
person as with, He is summoued to appear en
the tame principle, iuuv luu uuieuuuui iu civu
suit ps summonod to appear. If he stays away,
be only waives his opportunity of defense. An
officer summoned to appear and - answer to an
impeachment has these three alternatives, with
periect freedom of Selection, namely he may
appear in person; he may appear only by coun
sel: pr he may decline to appear at alL In the
case of Justice Samuel Chase, of the United
Mates, j&upreme uourx, impeacnea in 1805, the
Senate, alter organizing as a high court ot im
peachment, adopted .the tollowing as one ol ,lta
rules oi jirocccuiug.
"10. The persou impeached shall then be
called to appear and answer the articles of im
peachment exhibited against him.' If he appears,
or an v Derson for him. the aoDearance 6 hall be
recorded, stating particularly u oy nimseii or
if by agent or attorney; naming the person
appearing, ad the capacity m which he appears.
If he does not appear, either personally or bv
agent or attprney, the same shall be recorded."
It is clear, from this weighty and authorita
tive precedent, that General Butler is wholly
wrug in his law. : Imrtead of the President
beipg taken Into custody and imprisoned, it
depends oi his' voluntary choice whether he
will appear' before the court at all. if he
appears, he is lust as iree to appear by attorney
as in person. f , -
Judge Storv. in hla Commentaries on the Con
Btitjution. describes' at length the formalities ob
served in triaU .tor. impeachment. We cite the
following passage as corroborating the . infe
rences we have drawn from the rule ol the oourt
In Judge Chase's case:--"if he" (.tue person av
feaihpd) "does not appear in person or by at
tornev, his default Is recordod, and the Senate
may proceed n parte to the trial ol the impeach
ment. Jf be does appear in person or by attor
nev. his arpearance 11 recorded."
Then have been, in all, four cases of im
peachment, since the beginning of our Govern
ment, iiamelT, that ol William Blount, 17'.9:
John Pickering, 1H03; Sam ueL Chase, lH0.r.:an1
James II. Peck 1831. The law governing such
trials, as stated by Jitduc Story, '8 founded on
the precedent! lurnished by these four cases.
The argument of General Butler, in support ot
the I osition of Wendell Phillips, that the Presi
dent must necessarily bo suspended trom otfic"
during the trial, falls to the ground in the face
of this uniform usaoe. But, even it the exploded
assumption ot butler were correct, the taking
ol the President into temporary custody would
not operate as a suspension trom office. If he
should be totally disabled for six weeks by
typhus fever, we suppose nobody is absurd
enough to sy that be would cease to be Presi
dent during his nine's, and that the President
of the Semite would be inducted into the Execu
tive chair.
The (iovemmont would, in that case, be admin
istered by the heads of departments, and papers
requiring the President's name would remain
unsigned until his recovery. That his olliee.
could not be filled by another persu during his
transient disability may be shown by a con
clusive analogy. Suppose Chief Justice chase
should be impeached, would his office be vacant
duiiag the trial? If so, the President could
send to the Senate a nomination to fill the
vncancy. The idea of his doiug so is utterly
preposterous. The office can be vacated only
alter a conviction, and in consequence of a sen
tence. To make the office vacant is the only
penalty which the Constitution allows against
an otiicer impeached; and it is absurd to sup
pose the punishment can date from the accusa
tion instead of from the judgment.
If the President is acquitted, the filling his
office by another person during the trial would
produce strange contusion. The new President
might anpoint a new Cabinet. He might break
off negotiations In progress with foreign powers.
He might revolutionize all the otlices of the
country by a sweeping proscription and new
appointments. When the acquitted President
returned to his station, he might find it impos
sible to reinstate his deposed subordinates by
the relusal of a hostile Senate to confirm his
appointments. General Butler's assumption Ls,
therefore, ns absurd iu its conscqucuces as it is
untenable in law.
If we were to hazard a conjecture as to the
course of the President, in case h should be
impeached, it would be that he will object to
me competency ot tm court nnd refuse to an.
pear. If, when the law gives a man the benefit
of twelve jurymen, an iniquitous court should
attempt to try him before teven, he would re
fuse to plead. The Constitution gives an liu
peached officer the rl"hl to be tried bv seveutv
two Senators, and it requires two-thirds of the
number to convict. If the radicals attempt to
try the President by fifty-two. he has a right to
deny the jurisdiction of a court of impeachment
so composed.
For Chief Justice Chase to preside at the trial
of the President would bo also a great Iniquity,
although in conformity to the loiter ol the Con
stitution. The President of the Senate pre-ddes
in all trials ol impeachments, with the single
exception that the Chiei Jutlcc takes hia place
when the President of the United States is Ined.
The reason which has always been given for this
exception is solid and conclusive. It is, that
the President of the Seuate, being the constitu
tional successor of a deposed President, is an
interested party, and therefore unfit to conduct
the trial. This objection applies iu all its force
to Chiet Justice Cha.-e. Contrary to all former
example, to all sense of fitness, to all the deco
rum which beseems his great office, the Chief
Justice is a candidate tor President, as Mr.
Johnson's successor. His success in reaching
the Presidency depends on excluding the unre-
?iresented States from participation in the clec
ion; aud the deposing of President Johnson is
thought by the radicals a necessary step to their
exclusion. With this great stake in the result,
Chief Justice Chase is totally unfit to preside at
the trial. His friends ought to blush for him it
he consents to act in that capacity.
