The ease of Judge Humphreys Is not
a precedent to sustain this article. IIo

made, but the speech was Unatonable
In character nnd eft'ect, for It Incited to
armed resistance, against the Vnlted

an act of treason which, being commit

The eleventh nrticlo Is nondescript,
nnd n curloMty in pleading. As nn nr-

Whllo wo cannot suppose It to have
been drawn In scorn of the Senate, bo
foro whom It was to be placed as an ar

to the paternity of a scornful spirit and
a reckless brain If such paternity were
a--lgncd to it.
Tho matT of thU article, so far as

mostly from the other articles; but that

ho took no steps to create or provldo

tho tenure-of-ofllco act," but only by
tho "devising and contriving, nnd at-
tcmptlngtodevlseaudcontrlvo, means"
to keep Mr. Htnnton out of olllee.
In brief, this accusation Is that the
President cogitated tho means to keep
-nr. Htnnton out of olllee, nnd thereby
violated tho tenure-or-olllco act I It Is
too plain for question that no criminal
net Is charged here, nor any fact sot
forth upon which a Judicial investiga
tion can bo had or Judgment be pro
nounced. Hut It has been supposed ond
asserted that this part of the eleventh
nrticlo refers to a deslro and Intention
of the President, not on 21st of Febru
ary , but in January before, to prevent
Mr. Stanton from resuming his olllee.
IK It so. If wo aro to build up a prop
er 'liargo with a proper dato from ma
tt lals obtained outside of the urticles,
and proceed to try tho President upon
It, to what conclusion may wo nrrivo V
Why, that tho President had an Inten
tion to keep Stanton out, and dovlFed a
plan or means for that purpose, but did
not ttso tlio-o means or put that plan In
to execution. Hero was no breach of
tho tenure-of-ofllco act, or of any other
law. Whether his purposo was good or
bad, It did not lead to an actual olleuso;
and If his Intention had been carried 1
out lu an act, what would that act havo between sessions of the Senate, violates
been? Why, obviously an order for no provision or tho Constitution, nnil
the removal of Q'aiiton before ho had denies noJut claim of executive power,
actually resumed his office. Ilut that lit was quito competent for tho Pre.-l-would
havo raised prccl-ely tho same I dent to suspend Mr. Stanton under that
question which was raised by tho order
of removal of 21st February, which wo
nre to detcrmlno under tho first artlclo
of Impeachment. An order removing
Mr. Stanton would havo borne the samo
legal character whether issued to pro
vent him from resuming his olllco or to
turn hint out after ho had resumed It.

clauses of accusation In this article,

wo havo before us, Mr. Stanton holding
under his appointment niul commission
nt tho pleasure of tho President, can
Congress by utututo give him a right to
hold Ids olllco for a term of years against
tho President's will? If they can do
this they can also hereafter, nt their
pleasure, assign bint an additional term
of years or give him a life estate In his
onico. In either caso whnt have wo but
a nownppolntment toofHcobyCongrc-s'.'
lly the express words or tho Constitu
tion the principal olllcersortlio Govern
nienl llncliullng, I think, tho heads ol
the Hxccutlvo Departments! must bo
nppolnted by tho President by and
with the advice and consent of tho Sen
ate, and the appointment of Inferior
olllcers may bo vested by law In tho
l'resltlent nlone, In tho courts or law,
or In the heads of Departments. Kaeh
House of Congress tuny choose their
own olllcers, but lu no caso whatever
can Congrens appoint an olilccr of tho
United States. lielug clearly Incapable
of making on appointment, they can
not change ono after It Is made, glvl ng
It a character nnd duration which wero
not within tho contemplation or Inten
tion of tho appointing power when tho
ofllco was conferred.
1 conclude, then, that If the tenuiu
of-ofllcs net bo construed to place tho
eases of Mr. Stanton and of tho other
Lincoln Secretaries within a new ten-
urc-nf-oillco rule, it Is so r.tr forth un
constitutional and void, nnd can nll'oul
no support to the tlrst eight and to the
eleventh nrtlclos of Impeachment.
It Is Important to ob-ervo that no
objection upon constitutional grounds Is
mado or can bo made, to some parts of
tho tcniire-or-ofllco act. Tho sixth sec
tion, for Instance, Is entirely unexcep
tionable, and was very properly acted
upon by tho President In giving notlco
to tho Secretary of tho Treasury of Mr.
Stanton's suspension in August, 1P07
And so tho second section of the act. lu
authorizing tho suspension of olllcers
section, notwithstanding his denial or
tho validity of tliu first section, nnil if
ho hud done so lu express terms ho
would not have exposed him-elf to a
charge or Inconsistency. It is true ho
puts his su-pcn-lon of Mr. Stanton up
on tho executivo power to remove him
under the Constitution, holding Hint
tho power to remove includes tho
power to suspend, but still the act of
suspension fell within the letter or tho
law and was in ail respects conformed
to it. Willie II was from the President's
point of view a good exercise of power
under the Constitution, It was also un
deniably it goud exerci-e eif power
within the terms ol tho law; and if
placed upon tho latter ground alone It
would not be an admission of the con
stitutionality of llio wholulaw.butonly
of so much of tho second section as au
thorizes su-penslons from oflice. It is

It Is admitted on all hands t lint a pri
vate citizen may proceed inn peaceful
manner to resist nny law which violates
his personal rights under the Constitu
tion, and may bring such law before the
courts for judicial condemnation. And
even If ho should bomlstnken ns to his
right nnd ns to tho Invalidity of tho lav, ,
his error wilt not be Imputed to him as
a crime.
Ami so, wlieron question arises as to
tho constitutional rlgbtof thoPresIdenl
to chnngo his constitutional advisers
the men who constitute his political
household, and for whoso acts ho Is rti
sponsible to tho pcoplo nnd to the law
asngalnta statuto which Invades or
denies to lilm such right, can It be
doubted that ho may challenge tho
statuto and tarry It into the courts of
law for Judgment? And where tho
statute is plainly In contempt of tho
past practico of tho Government, and
of tho very highest authorities which
can bo cited upon a question of consti
tutional law, and no one but tho Pre
sident can bring It to tho lest of Judicial
examination anil Judgment, Is not his
duty to challenge! It as Inconlestlble a
his right V
CONCLlMti.
I have now concluded my examina
tion ortho several articles of impeach
ment and or the act of Congress upoii
which most or them are founded. Th
general question of presidential power
under tho Constitution to remove olll
cers of the United States from ofllco tit
discretion, hasbeen but slightly noticed,
and no attention lias been bestowed up
on thosti teiplcs of declamation nnd In
vectlvo which has been Intruded into
tho trial. Tho cou-titnlloinil question
was diseti-sed by mo at length when
the tcniirtcof-olllcooct was passed, and
I do not find it necessary to repeat tho
argument then made by mo in'order to
explain or vindicate my Judgment up
on theso articles of impeachment. A
to tliu extraneous and Irrelevant mat
ters introduced Into tho trial, and par
ticularly Into tho argument, I put them
wholly aside. This caso Is to be tried
upon the laws which apply to It, and
upon tho facts which are duly proved.
The Usui) joined is not political but Ju
ellclnl, and It Is upon specific artlcle-i of
nccii-atlon. They are to bo decleled
honestly and firmly, and nothing be-
side then, I- to pass Into judgment.
In my opinion the acquittal of the
President upon all the charges prefer
redngalnsthlni Isauthoilzed bylawand
demanded by justice. IIo lias commit
ted no high crime or mi-demeanor, lis
lias trampled upon no man's right; lie
ha- violated no public duty. IIo has
kept bis oath of olllee unbroken, and
has sought in a lawful maniier to vin
dlcateand preserve the high eoiislitu
tlnnal powers cemfldod to him by tin
people. lie cannot and ought not to
be punWif el for his opinions upon pub
lic men-tires and public policy; and, in
ceuitemplatlon of law, hh conduct lu nil
the matters brought before us for review
lias been Irreproachable. What ho ha
done Indicates not criminal intent but
patilntlc purpose; and besides, that
true courage, sii-talned and Invincible,
which "Tiuinlci with illlllcnliv mul il.
