Congress and the Impeachment Question.
A grit AT deal oi speculation is indulged in
as to the probable action of Congress with
reference to the impeachment of the Presi
dent. Aa Congress is to assemble next week,
any positive expression of opinion is evi
dently premature. It is to be remembered
that it is not the Congress just elected that
is about to assemble, but the same body that
was in session last winter. The new Con
gress will not meet regularly until a year
from now, unless sooner assembled in extra
session by the President, or ca'led together
by a law to be passed by the present LoJy,
although their term of office will commence
on the 4th of March next.
The question of impeachment has been
broached more prominently by members elect
of the next Congress than by those of the
Thirty-ninth Congress. The present mem
bers, so iar as we have observed, have said very
little about it.
Con gi ess is now complete master of the
situation. Until the close of Mr. Johnson's
tenm of office, more than two-thirds of both
branches are opposed to his policy. More
over, it now assembles under instructions
from the people. The questions at Issue
between the President and Congress have
been submitted to the people themselves for
their decision, and they have decided with
great unanimity in favor of Congress. Con
gress, theretore, occupies a very strong posi
tion. It is invested with full authority in the
premises. Ik can pass all needful laws, and
if the President sees fit to veto them, it has
strength enough to pass them over his veto.
Moreover, he is bound to execute such laws
as Congress may pass.
Standing in this strong and safe position
Congress will doubtless act with a dignity
and deliberation befitting too gravity of the
circumstances with which it is surrounded.
It will make no undue haste. Even should it
deem the President to have been guilty of
acts rendering him liable to impeachment,
and that the safety and welfare oi tbe nation
required Congress to exercise that high func
tion with which the Constitution, in view of
such cases, has endowed it, yet everything
will be done "decently and in order." The
entire question of impeachment, however, is
one of policy. Ihe Constitution confers this
power upon Congress to be used in its own
discretion. It is the sole fudge of everything
connected with it. Of course, it is only to ba
exercised lnjcases of gravity, and where the
public good demands It ; but ot all this Con
gress Is the solo judge. In the present case,
it to quite probable that Conjress will wait
to see whether the President w'U conform his
action to the will of the people, of whether
he will continue to endeavor to force his own
"policy" upon the country. They may content
themselves with restricting the power of the
President, so lar as they can constitutionally
do so, by the enactment of such laws as tbe
exigencies of the case may seem to call for.
Should he, however, continue to override tbe
constitutional prerogatives of the Senate in
regard to the confirmation of appointments ;
should he refuse or neglect to execute such
aws In regard to th? reconstruction of tha
ate Rebel communlt'es as Congress may see
fit to pass ; should he attempt iurther usurpa
tions ot legislative powers and tunc tions ; should
he again assail co-ordinate branches of the
Government, Congress would doubtless feel
itself called upon to promptly resort to that
" high prerogative of impeachment and re
moval which the Constitution has provided
or just such contingencies. The whole thing
rests very much with the President himself.
A we have before remarked, the new Con
gress just elected does not meet regularly
TOE DAILY KVENIHG TELEGKAHI TRIPLK SHEET
until December, 1807; but it can be called
together at an earlier day by the passage of
a la w to that efft ct. It is qui te probable, and
we think very desirable, that a law will be
passed at the present session of Congress
assembling the Fortieth Congress on the 4th
of March next, so as to preserve the con
tinuous presence of the Legislative depart
rrent of the country at the capital
during the remainder of Mr. John
fon's teim of office. In case that is done,
the whole question of impeachment
will prohaWy go to the next Congress. Even
if articles of Impeachment should be pre
pared during the present session, the trial
before the Senate would almost necessarily
go over to the next.
Some peoDle speak ot this impeachment
question as though It were a fit subject for
ablation and' alarm. We do not so regard it.
The Impeachment of a public officer is as
regular and constitutional a proceediug by
Congress as the passage of a law. Of course,
party orators tnd newspapers, and the public
generally, will discuss tbe grounds of such a
proceeding, and its Justice or Injustice, Its
policy or impolicy in any particular case, lust
as they do In regard to a proposed law; but
the determination or the whole thing Is wlt'i
Congress, and from its decision there is no
appeal. If Congress decides that a certain
officer Is deserving of impeachment, and pro
ceeds to impeach and remove him, there is no
authority on earth that can go behind its
decision. It is a tremendous power, but it is
a power that the peop'e ot this country have
Sten fit to reserve to themselves through
their representatives, and which they will not
hesitate to exercise at their discretion. .
A Cow Congress Milkmen in Council.
There assembled in Nonrlstown, one day
lost week, a curious kind of a Convention,
and one in which all the housekeepers of the
Quaker City must take a decided interest
It was a caucus of the dairymen ol Montgo
mery and nearly all tbe counties adjacent to
Philadelphia, who met for the purpose of
periectiDg a monopoly by which our citizens
are to be still further delraudoil. Their
object was to perfect a schedule of rates to
be asked for milk, which schedule was to bo
a decided advance over tho price at present
demanded. We are informed that over two
thousand cows were represented, and the
body was noed for the earnestness of its pur
pose and the dignity of deportment appro
priate to tho possessors of so respectable a
constituency. They unanimously . agreed
that tbe price should be raised, and that, as
they tersely expressed it, "it Philadelphia
won't pay the increase, she can go without
milk." We may, therefore, expect that before
many days are past, the present high price
will be further increased, and our citi
zens be compelled either to submit to the
extortion or go without the milk.
bimilar conventions to the one at Norris
town are just r.ow being held in various parts
of the country, and the question is exciting
considerable attention throughout the North.
The New York dealers have held such a
meeting, and formed a "Milk Exchange," the
precise object ot which we are at a loss to
determine, unless it be to regulate by law
the proport on of chalk, water, and milk to
be sold to residents in the cities. We sup
pose that our Norristown Convention will
probably resolve itself into the "Pennsyl
vania Chamber of Milk," or the "Board of
American Milkmen," and be incorporated by
the Legislature.
We are continually told that the cost of
maintaining cows is so great that it is neces
sary that the pr.ee of milk be advanced, in
order that the dealer be protected. The
Boston Post takes the trouble to give us
some figures. A good cow can be bojght
for f 110. The annual expense of the animal is :
Intrieit on cot, at 10 per cent..
t'oi.d una other expen ce
11
lt2
173
Worth ot milk produced in ten mont'j $266
mating a profit of eighty-three dollars per
cow, or, for a farm with twenty-four cows,
an Income of nearly $2000 for his animals
alone. We have altered the figures some
what from those of the Post, in order to
make them apply to our own dealers. Surely
this profit of seventy-five per cent, on the
original investment is enough to satisfy even
the most avaricious.
While speaking of the subject, we may
note a curious fact In regard to :he South.
Although there are thousands of cattle all
through the plantations, and many of them
of the finest kind, yet the thought ot making
butter or cream never enters the mind of a
Southern housekeeper. Only a few days
since we read a letter from i'lorida, written.
by a Northern lady, filled with exclamations
t any zemetit that, on the plantation where
she was visiting, although there were sixteen
cows, all butter was brought from the North
ern cities. There is no idea among the
people of the North of the vast extent ot the
exports of packed butler and canned cream
which are sent to the Southern States. An
exchange tells us that in Texas, in one
county, there are 150,000 cattle, yet the peo
ple depend entirely on the North for butter
and milk. .
Tbis state of country lite seems to us amaz.
ing. There Is no peculiarity of the Southern
people which more perfectly exemplifies their
character, than this sending two thousand
miles for what can be had at their very doors.
From what we have said, our readers need
feel no surprise if they be still further im-
t posed upon by the dairy men ; and we can
give them no consolation, except that they
must, ss our "Congress ol milkmen" so elo-
quently stated, "either pay the additional
( price or go without, the milk." We are afraid
' that we will have to pay the additional price.
The Trne Corner-stone of Government
The address last night o( Hon. George 9.
Bout well, which we publish In full elsewhere,
furnishes the key-note to the theory of g ivern
ment, as purified by trial and experience. It
clearly and boldly enunciates the doctrine
that Justice to all must be the corner-stone
on which all official structures must be
founded, and that that building only is perma
nent whose ba-e is the rock of universal
equity. We arrcc with him, that the hour
when policy was to dictate to right bpasr.
Tbe lessons of history all tell us that that
rower only is stable which Is based on the
consent ol the governed. Injustice and op
pression, while tliey may enrich the State,
build pyramids and Pantheons, and stretch
the bounds of empire from sea to sea, will
act ultimately only as seeds of Insidious
disease, and the vast bloated body politic,
filled with external dissatisfaction and ylcwe l
with a jealous eye by all foreign powers, will
full to pieces, and the wreck thereof shall be
great.
Mr. Boutwell quoted sentence after sen
tence to prove that wrong can never be a
firm foundation for power. The oppressed
gladiators, who wete the scorn and contempt
of the Roman people, made the republic
tremble to its base; while the despised
barbarian, captured and enslaved, was even
tually the Instrument which overturned the
mistress of the world. Let us then profit
by the lesson adduced, and allow not a single
resident in our land to be so unjustly treared
that, when danger menaces the country, he
will have an excuse lor aiding open foes, or
tven rctusng to Bering to her defense.
Tbe Ratification of the Constitutional
Amendment.
The thinking mind of the country seems to
be settling down with great unanimity upon
the position, that the ratification of the Con
stitutional amendment requires only the as
sent of three-fourths of the States now con
stituting the Government ol the United
States. The New York Herald, In the course
t a very able article, thus forcibly states the
case :
"The shortest plan lor a speedy and compre
hensive settlement, inclutlitig the sacred obliga
tions oi ine nut onm ueui, the absolute repudia
tion ot all Rehfl debts and all claims Tor eman

''From this lat conclusion, we contend, there
is no escape, unless we can reduce the lut?

its bloody battle to the legnl staud ird of n
series ot election riots, aud nothing more. W"
