Extract from His Opinion in the fMe of
Boric vs. Trott.
"On the whole, then. I am of opinion that the
provision of the act of Congress of February 25th.
18K2, declaring tbo notes issued in pursuance of
that act to bo lawful money, und legal tender,
IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
"This renders it unnecessary that I should con
sider the other question which has been made, as
to the effect of the special agreement to pay in
lawful silver money of the United Slates Jam
in favor of entering judgment for the plaintiff,
but as a majority of the court arc of a differed
opinion, judgment for the defendant."— Copiid
frost 'he Philadelphia Ago of 23ei of February,

It may also be found in the Legal Intelligencer
of March 18, ISS4, page 02.
In the same copy of the Age is a carclully pic
pared eulogy of the judge aud this opinion, i
which is the following:
"Judge SDARSWOOD reasons upon and decides
the case as if he were some lofty spirit sitting far
above and out of the contentions and strifes of
the world."
Will not the holders of greenbacks and Govern
ment bonds consider tho judge as quite too eleva

IMPEACHMENT.
The I'eeliDg in favor of the impeachment
of the President, since the adjournment of
the extra session of Congress in July, has
grown apace. The impeachment move
ment in the winter had utterly failed.
When Andrew Johnson let the impression
go abroad that he would faithfully execute
the reconstruction laws if passed over his
veto, the people, though they had been de
ceived and betrayed time and again, once
more accepted the implied promise, and the
impeachment movement at once fell to the
ground. Congress had scarcely adjourned,
when, forgetful or regardless of all promi
ses, either express or implied, he set his
pliant tool, Stanberry, to work to devise
some method of evading or misconstruing
the Itk'W.
That no excuse might be left for even
designed and wilful misconstruction, Con
gress met in extra session on the 4th of
July, and so amended the law that ignor
ance could find no excuse and design no
refuge for further misconstruction. This
brought the President to an issue with the
country on the reconstruction question. No
longer able to plead obscurity in the law
as an excuse for obstructing and delaying
the work of reconstruction, lie new boldly
accepts the issue, and instead of pretending
a desire to execute the law in good faith,
and pleading tliat he is hindered by its ob
scurity, he deliberately sets himself to work
to prevent its execution. For tho first
time in our .country's history we have the
melancholy and humiliating spectacle of our
Chief Executive, whose solemn and sworn
duty it is to execute the laws, deliberately
violating his solemn oath of office, and in
the spirit of rebellion and revolution using
all his power to prevent tlicir execution.
The disgraceful imbecility of Buchanan's
administration is made respectable beside
the wanton and deliberate wickedness of
Andrew Johnson's. It were strange indeed
if such circumstances did not once more
bring tho question of his impeachment I
prominently before the country. The pop
ular voice to-day is plainly, loudly, une- ;
quivocally for impeachment. Every news- i
paper that was with the country during the !
rebellion, and every loyal man, from the
highest to the lowest, declares in favor of
impeachment. The recreant President has
already heard the warning voice, and in
dread alarm turns to his companions in
crime for advice. Verily, "whom the Gods
would destroy they first make mad. " Ru
mor, with strong probabilities to support
it, has it, that the practicability of using
the regular army to forcibly prevent the
meeting of the next Congress, or in ease of :
its meeting to prevent impeachment, has i
been seriously discussed already. It is with '
horror wc contemplate the possibility that '
the man, whom the nation delighted to honor
with the second office in its gift, and whom
the assassin's bloody hand raised to the first,
should himself attempt to subvert the gov
ernment. Yet the fact seems to be tliat he
has deliberately discussed the propriety of
such an attempt in council with his wicked
advisers. And the worst fact remains that
the worst construction that could possibly,
with any show of reason or probability, be
put upon Andrew Johnson's acts, since his j
apostacy, has always heretofore fallen far !
short of the reality. These are solemn,
stubborn facts, and they demand a calm,
cool and timely consideration. Impeach
ment on the meeting of Congress is a fore
gone conclusion ; indeed an absolute neces- i
sity, if we arc ever to have the work of rc- i
construction completed and the country
restored to peace and harmony. Andrew
•Johnson is a bold bad man, with the worst
kind of political adventurers and dema
gogues as confidential advisers. He will be
ready to attempt anything that offers the
least prospect of success, to save himself
from being impeached and deposed from
office. The fall elections will be taken, the
country over, as the exponent of public
opinion, not only on local but national is
sues. If they aro overwhelmingly union
even Andrew Johnson with all his fool
hardiness will be deterred from attempting
any revolutionary movements. If they
should be close, or worse still, go Copper
head, Andrew Johnson, encouraged and
backed by a clique of reckless adventurers,
will be likely not only to attempt to resist
impeachment with force, but to strike a
blow at our liberties and attempt to estab
lish himself as a dictator. Much of our
safety from any danger of this kind depends
upon the firmness arid loyalty of General
Grant, but much more upon our securing
an overwhelming victory at the ballot box.
]jet loyal men everywhere remember this
and vote accordingly.
THE CLERK TO THE I'OOK DIKEO
TORS,
If time and practice make a man efficient
in discharging the duties of his position,
then the present incumbent of the Poor
llouse clerkship ought to be a most excel
lent officer.
Perhaps he is. The Democratic Party
seem to think him so. They have kept him
in office so long, that it is hard to tell when
he did go in, but it must be ten years ago
anyhow. And they not only pay him for
keeping the account and books right, but
pay hiui again as clerk to the Auditors to
overlook his own work. And yet during
his time errors and oversights occurred to
such an extent that the public were eiyht or
ten thousand dollars out of pocket. It is
time there should he a change. Either the
Auditors and Directors do trust every thing
to the clerk, or they don't. If they do they
ought to be sure the clerk is competent. If
they don't they themselves arc responsible.
Anyhow the Democratic Party (so called) is
responsible. And the people no doubt will
so regard it and vote accordingly.
THE Gazette re produces our notice of
the nominations of its party for the various
county offices, and argues therefrom that
they ought therefore to be elected. We have
no doubt that our recommendation i> worth
all tliat is claimed for it, and that it will
work wonders with the great untorrified,
but we now think that it would be better to
give the Republicans a voice in the Boards
of Commissioners and Poor Directors. We
hope this idea will be as fully endorsed and
re-produccd by the Gazette. Do say to your
credulous reader, that wc do think a
Republican Commissioner and Poor Direc
tor sbuuld bo elected.
OUB fair notice of the gentlemen compo
sing the Copperhead county ticket so tickled
the Gazette that it has re-produced it. The
notice was so unlike the Gazette's stylo of
abusing every body honored with a nomina
tion, that we have no doubt that it found
its sense of propriety much shocked.
Hope it will recover and keep this article a
standing matter until it has fully mastered
its style.
THE Copperheads are again full of Negro
Suffrage; they assert positively that it isthe
[ intention of the leaders, to "FORCE
Negro Suffrage and the POLITICAL Equality
of Whites and Blades, upon the people of
Pennsylvania, WITHOUT THEIR CON
SENT." This has been their constant cry
since the organization of the Republican
Party. They aro determined to educate the
public up to it. Go in, Cops.
A credulous old Cop was over-heard to
~ay, not long since, that the Negro business
was about played out. with him. lie had
been told, year after year, tliat the Negroes
were going to do thus ana so and yet he
never noticed any change; he had come to
the conclusion the whole matter was an "in
fcrnal lie got up for electioneering purpo
ses." The mass of the party haveeomo to the
game conclusion.
THE fact, that Andrew Johnson, in delib
erately obstructing, and using all his power
to prevent, the execution of the reconstruc
tion laws, is supported by the whole copper
head party, throughout the country, ought
to satisfy every right minded and patriotic
citizen that such a party ought not to be
entrusted with power in any part of the
country.
THE Gazette says the present Democratic
board of I'oor Directors discovered the
"leaks" which lately came to light. Wc
deny this. Mr. Dofibaugh discovered them,
' and for this and other evidences of honesty,
i the leaders desire to discharge him. Put
him out if you dare.
THE reckless disregard of the Gazette for
truth is again exhibited in its flagrantly
charging Messrs. Wellcr and Richards with
voting "for almost every one of the corrupt
measures" which disgraced the last Legis
| lation. We challenge the production of the
proof.
j "WAS there ever a meaner, slimier, fouler
| traitor" &c. — Gazette. Such attacks arc
! periodical—whenever the moon changes.
V WORTHY CANDIDATE.
The loyal voters of the Commonwealth
ask no higher tribute to the worth and char
acter of Judge Williams than the following
neat compliment paid him by the only daily
Democratic paper of Western Pennsylvania
the day following his nomination. Tt said:
The nomination of the Hon. Henry W.
Williams as a candidate for Judge of the
Supreme Court is a good one. He was the
best man named before the Republican Con
vention, and possesses legal and moral qual
ification s for the responsible position to
which he has been nominated. Both par
ties have now presented their candidates.
An important duty has been faithfully
discharged by the respective conventions.
The campaign may now be conducted icith
out j>crgoiwl aMpcrnont, and doeided upon
the principles of the two great parties.
This is as it should be. It is an auspicious
sign of the times, and if thcconnty conven
tions are equally fortunate in the selection
of legislative candidates, there will he a
-top pHt to the deplorable corruption at the
scat of government under a new reign of
honest men and conscientious legislators.—
J'ittshnr' h J'ost, June 281/t, 1 so7.
The j'ost, in referring to the above, on the
29th of August, was pleased to say:
"We have nothing to take back or mod
ify. Of Judge Williams' private or legal
reputation we have nothing but words of
praise, and however it may suit some pug
nacious and heady politicians, wc cannot
bring ourselves to view personal assaults as
either wise or politic."
G EX. GRANT, pursuing his policy of re
trenchment, has ordered u reduction of the
clerical force now employed in the Paymaster
General's office to one-half the present num
ber. Accordingly clerks were discharged
from that department during last week.

<f'c. it'e.,
WASHINGTON Sept, 3. —The important
fact which rises above the usuul Washing
ton news and gossip, is the promulgation of
(Jen. Grant's order to commanders of Mili
tary Districts, instructing them to make no
appointments to civil office of persons who
have been removed by themselves or their
predecessors in command. Inasmuch as
this is not strictly a disapproval of any act
done by a Military Commander, it was free
ly declared in administration circles that the
order was not in strict accordance with the
much discussed supplemental reconstruction
law. However this may be, the other has
added a valuable fact to the difference grow
ing between the President and Grant, and
as such is universally commended. This or
der was telegraphed day before yesterday
by command of General Grant to Generals
Pope, Sheridan, Sickles, Ord and Schofield.
It is claimed here by certain parties that one
reason for issuing it was the belief of Lou
isianians in Washington that Gov. Wells
would bo reinstated as Governor of Louis

Information has been received that the
Republicans of Maryland have decided not
to vote on the Constitution, to be submitted

pared an address to Congress, stating that
said Constitution is not Republican iu form,
as it disfranchises eighty thousand colored
people, and does not allow colored people to
testify iu courts where white people arc
parties to a controversy.
It is learned from an unimpeachable
source that in an interview wiih Senator
lleverdy .Johnson on Thursday, ho was ver
bally tendered the position of Secretary of

Enlistment o( Volunteers in Montana —
Skirmishing on the I'liuns.
The Montana Font, of the I7th, says:
General Terry, commander of the depart
ment, after investigating the aetiou of the
Executive of the territory in regard to the
volunteer force, gave his unqualifk d appro
val, and fully empowered Governor Smith
to prosecute the campaign against the Indi
ans. I n consequence of this action re enlist
ments and other preparations; are being
vigorously pushed forward for immediate
service.
lte'iable intelligence from the Plains, re
ceived yesterday, gives the following par
ticulars of Indian operations; A party on
the road to Fort Reno lost three men killed
at Crazy Woman's Fork. Two hundred
head of stock were run off from Wells, Fargo
& Co.'s train on the 16th instant. Near
Reno two men, belonging to a train of citi
zens, were killed. On the same day the
fight at Fort Phil. Kearney occurred, the
escort to a hay party from Fort Smith were
attacked by a large body of Indians, who
were gallantly repulsed with heavy loss.
Only one body was left on the Held. Two
men" of the escort were killed.
The correspondence oflhe liidlctin, from
Arizona, shows that in the single district of
Lubac sixteen men have been killed, six
wounded, and nearly $20,000 worth of pro
perty taken off and destroyed by the Indiana
since March. The troops are now trying all
in their power for the protection of settlers.
A dispatch from Fort Ilays, Kama.-, of
the JOtli ult., says: No news has been re
ceived from the force sent against the Indi
ans, but a severe battle is believed to have
luken \U the savages in this section
say they do not want peace, and will till the
Commissioners if possible. They are driv
ing all the buffalos towards their villages on
the Republican river.
A telegram front Gen. Augur's headquar
ters says the Indians attacked a Govern
ment train near Fort C. F. Smith on the
26th ult., and were repulsed with a loss of*
twenty killed. One officer and four soldiers
were killed on our side. All the hostile
tribes around Fort Phil. Kearney are under
the leadership of Red Cloud, and are bent
on war. Black Hawk, chief of the Utah
Indians, favors peace. A battle between
the Ogallalla ar.d IJrule tribes of Sioux In
dians occurred on the 26that Cedar Canyon,
thirty miles south of Juiesburg, in which
several savages were killed.
The Johnson-Grant Correspondence.
President Johnson, having first decided
to di.-plaoe General Sheridan, is sufficiently
complacent to ask the opinion of Gen. G runt
as to the expediency of the change. Wheth
er this was done by reason of that singular
weakness of human nature which leads men
to ask advice after they have irrevocably
made up their minds, or whether it arose
from a desire to put a plausible -tatemeut
on record, will probably never be known. I t
is only ascertained tliat Mr. Johnson, hav
ing received the earnest remonstrance of the
General on Saturday, proceeded on the fol
lowing Monday to controvert all his opin
ions, with the air of a man who had expec
ted all these objections, and long ago made
up his mind how to an.-wer them. This
letter of the President is not of overwhelm
ing intcrc-t. Tbc public decided some time
ago that Mr. Johnson was not the man to
sacrifice his own little schemes and aspira
tions on the shrine of patriotism, and his
assertions and protestations and arguments
have no weight, simply because nobody will
pay the slightest attention to them. Gen.
Grant, by nature reticent and by habit de
voting his attention first of all to his own
business, has not yet satiated the curiosity
of the people. What he has said, there
fore, is of far more importance.
As regards this point, it is annoying to
find the record very incomplete. It was
already known that he had opposed the re
moval of Sheridan : what he said about the
change in the cabinet was of more interest.
The letter unfolding his views on this sub
ject, the President for reasons best known
to himself, persists in withholding. Gen.
Grant by his reference to this letter makes
it properly a part of the published corres
pondence : indeed, this is manifestly incom
plete without it. It cannot be doubted that
the President could have had the injunction
of privacy removed from this document, if
it had suited his interest to demand it. The
inference is that the suppressed letter of
Gen. Grant is of a nature far more damag
ing to the policy of the administration than
anything from him which has been publish
ed. We cannot think that the President
would be actuated by any tenderness towards
cither Gen. Grant or Mr. Stanton.
llow much ingeniousness was shown by
the President in appointing as the successor
j of Sheridan an officer who had already cx-
I pressed his decided unwillingness to take
the place, and who proves to be too ill to
accept it under any circumstances, wo need
not undertake to decide. In the existing
state of General Thomas's health we cannot
see that, his views on reconstruction and his
past reeord have any great hearing on his
selection as commander of the filth military
district. It is clear, however, that the re
moval of Sheridan will be considered, as
Gen. Grant intimates, a triumph by the
unreconstructed clemeut of the South, no
matter who proves to be his successor. And
that he will be ultimately replaced by an
officer who has at heart the conscientious
completion of the work of reconstruction
prescribed by Congress is net yet, we think,
demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt.

R'tul and lb fleet.
In 1861 eleven States seceded; and since
then only twenty-three have been represent

All the United States Bonds— s-20 s, 7-
30's and HlAO's—all, the greenbacks, and
all the National banks, were created by this
Congress of twenty-three States.
President Johnson calls this an "assumed
Congress" —therefore not legal. 11 is sup
porters and the Democrats call it a " rump
Congress ," and a " usurping Congress , and
hence not a lawful Congress', and tho great
effort has been to elect Congressmen in the
North, and admit enough froru t lie rebel
States to euforee this " 1 olicy.
If a Congress representing but twenty
three States be not a laiofal Congress, then
every United States lh>nd, and all our green
backs, and National Bank notes, are worth
nothing; because an unlawful Congress
could not make lawful Bonds for lawful
money. . , ..
The mad effort, so recently made by the
rebels and their sympathizers, to destroy
this Government In/ force of arms, failed.
Thus far the attempt to do the same thing,
through Congress, has also failed, because
of the action of tho loyal voters at the bal
lot-box ; and the last effort at destruction is
uow being made THROUGH THE FOURTH.

And this, too, in the face of the fact,that
the Superior Courts of every loyal State-in
which the question ban been raised, have
sustained the power of Congress.
It requires, therefore, but little knowl

the imminent danger of putting any more

IN a recent speech in Ohio, in referring
to colored suffrage, Hon. John A. Bingham
said:
Your armies bore witness that. 175,000 of
the black population, made free by the proc
lamation of liberty, were in the army of the
Republic. When you consider that the
majority of ilie black population were the
slaves of rebels, and within the territory,
unable to signify to the United States Gov
ernment their willingness to servo it, the
fact that as large a proportion of the black
population as of the free whites rushed to
the defence of your flag, speaks well for their
patrioti.-m. In reference to this, what said
(I eneral Sherman? "The hand that lays
down tho musket must ho permitted to take
up the ballot." That was the soldier's
opinion, the patriot's opinion.

of General Sickles. This statement is only
of importance because it shows that ths Pres
ident nas so little confidence in his action that
he finds it necessary to defend himself in the
public prints by publishing a semi-olficial ar
gument to sustain his course.
THE recent order of General Grant that
"district commanders will make no appoint
ments to civil ottice of persons who hare
been removed by themselves or their prede
cessors iu command," does not make a new
issue between General Grant and the Presi
dent. There is good authority for asserting
that the rumors of difficulties having arisen
on this subject are groundless.
THE disposition to remove Gen. Howard
from the post where he has acccomplished so
much good as head ol the Freedmcn's Bureau
is one of the most significant and unfortunate
indications of the perverse intentions of An
drew Johnson. The rare combination of
qualities which preeminently qualify him for
that statiou has enabled him iu discharging
his duties to render invaluable services to the
colored race and to the country at large. To
remove him would he an act of wanton wict
edness and cruelty, of which only an insen
sate despot could be guilty.
'J'UE pretence of Andrew Johnson that the
removal of Sheridan and Sickles is necessary
to insure a proper execution of the military
reconstruction bill is one of the baldest im
postures of the age. His repeated avowals
of hostility to that measure, his attempts to
defeat its passage, and subsequent efforts to
distort its meaning, have clearly shown that
he was opposed to the law,- and the entire
public clearly understand that he opposes the
execution satisfactory to its friends simply
because Sheridau and Sickles have faithfully
complied with the wishes of Congress.
IT is stated that Gordon Granger, a White
House military politician, who was confirmed
by the Senate some time since as a colonel in
the army, but who has done no duty since the
[ close of the war, beyond "swinging around
the circle" and advising President Johnson
to persist in reinstating the dethroned rebels
of the South, will soon be assigned to regular
soldier duty, or he compelled to resign his
position. General Grant iu understood to
have become thoroughly disgusted with his
course recently, as he used to be with hospit
al hummers who played sick to shun duty
during the war.
COMMISSIONER ROLLINS.— The removal of
Commissioner Rollins, of the Internal Rev
enue Department, secros to he the chief ob
ject of the professional politicians who have
the ear of the President. There is just one
interest that would he "promoted by the re
moval of this faithful officer, and that is the
interest of fraud on the revenue in connec
tion with distilled spirits. In Commissioner
Rollins the peijured plunderers who are
Hooding the country with untaxed whiskey
have found a vigilant and relentless enemy,
aud it is from them that this effort for his
removal comes. We trust that, for the sake
of the revenue, they may he unsuccessful.
