TIM PROPOS/AD 11111111AgliallUrr
Our news columns contain the papers
upon which the propose 4 Imppultment
It based. The Punmnurtr hr undertap
ken to remove Secretaryl STANTON, dur
ing the session of,the Senate, without
the consent of that bOdy. This notion is
iu violation of the . Constitution. Its
worele are : • *
, Any. 2, Snor. 2. The Preddent shall semi
' nate, and by and with MI *Unmet of the Sen
ate, shall appoint all other itfliceni whose ap
pointmente are not herein othterwise provided
!Cr, and which shall be established by law.—
The Preddent shall have pbwer to fill up all
, vacancies that may happen daring the recces
of the Senate, by granting commissions which
shall expire at the end bf their next session."
In this ' iristance, the rEESIDENT has
attempted to create a vacancy during- the
• session of the Senate by making a re
- move', and to fill the vbcancy without
the advice and consent of the Senate
No such exercise of authority has ever
before been attempted by any President ;
and, we hope, none will ever be again,
for. it is essentialy and exclusively a
usurpation of authority not granted by
the Constitution or tho laws, which Con
stitution and the 'laws of the United
States made in riursuance thereof, it is
eipressly provided in the Constitution,
•
shall be the supreme law the land.
But the PRESIDENT'S action is also in
direct disregard of the Civil Tenure Act,
padded March 2, 1867, the first section of
which provides, , •
"'That every person, holdiug any civil of
fice to which he has been appointed by arid
With the advice and mutant of the Senate, and
every person whp shall hereafter be appointed
to any such office sad shall become duly qual
ified to act therein, /e, LiND 4.1..1, HZ SHTTMCD
TO HOLD SUCH OFPICS UNTIL A scoosseos SHALL

DULY QUAI,LEIHD, .C.xcept as herein otherwise
provided. Provided, That,the •Sec*aries of
State, of the Treasury, of War, of .the Navy,
and of the Interior, the Postmaster General,
and the Attorney General, shall hold their of
fices respectively for and during the term of .
the l''resident by whom they play have been
appointed,_and for one month thereafter, sub
ject to be removed by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate."
Mr. STANTON was Secretary of, War
when this act was passed ; and the term
Of the President by whom he was ap
pointed,t, runs to March 4, 1869 ; so that,
under the law, his right to remain Secre
tary of War was defined as continuing
till March of next year, arid one month
thereafter, In disregard of this law,
President Joinisort attempted to remove
.9 him, 'without the advice and consent of
the Senate."
The PRESIDENT also attempted to des.
agnate a temporary suweesor, and
,or
dered the Adjutant Generldol the Army
to act as temporary Secretary of War,
is
suing to him a letter of outhority to that
eftbct. By the sixth' section of the Civil
Tenure Act, the issuing of such commis
sion or litter of authority, is made a
"high misdemeanor," for which also the
House of Representatives will arraign
the PRESIDENT at the bar Of the Senate
for trial.
The legal question is clear. There Is
no division among Republicians; and we
bear of several leading rieinocrats at
Washington, who say they cannot justi
fy this •last action of the PSEsEDENT.—
The Constitution is expliett. The 'kw
passed under it is upon the gtatute-book,
and both are binding upon President
Jonsrsox, as binding upun him as upon
the humblest citizen. He him attempted
to violate it; he has purposely sad man
ifestly disregarded it; and helwill be held
to answer Iherefor.
There is little doubt what will be, the
verdict of the jury. There le no room to
doubt the guilt, and the guilty purpose
I -
of the culprit. And the country will be
relieved when sentence skin t have been
pronounced and executed, and tide bad
man ;mid the penalty of his ('many con
spiracles, treacheries - and dimes. For
this, a few weeks will, we trust,

growing out of this new aimpllcation,

with the admiralee restate shove stated.
If the people wish to restore the Dem
ocratic leaders to power, in the ism* of
such facts, they may be sure they'll have
"to pay'for it."
Thomas Corrwav, who has'heen '
in the Southern States several years,
writes as follows to a leading Republican
in Washington :
You are well swan that I hare traveled ex
ten:lively over the Southern States, under the
auspices not only of your Gommittae, but al
so of the National Council of the Union
League, and that lam enabled to give some
thing like an intelligent opinion on this
whole subject. I will state several facts
which Congress and the loyal people of the
country had better know now than at a later
411 54 st—The rebels of the South are deter
mined to defeat, if they can, any plan of re
construction coming from the present Con
grass, especially if the right to vote is given
tor e ezroea.
—They are as thoroughly organ
ized, and maintain as effective a political and
party union among themselves and their
Copperhead allies throughout the North as
before the rebellion.
Third—They have the entire control of
the Associated Pros in all the South, and are
loud in their boasting over the advantage
which that instrumentality affords them over
' their political opponents.
Fourth—During the past few months they
I have formed special combinations for the pur
pose of destroying the vote of the newly en
franchised class ; first, by an avowed deter
' mination to discharge from employment an
negro who totes for the constitution ; second,
by branding ; as a traitor any white man who
should so vote; third, by removing laboring
men from the plantations in the districts
where they had the right to vote, to others
where they could not exercise that right 4 In
many cases planters living remote from each
other agree . to make an exchange of their
laborers for the purpose of destroying their
votes, though I have heard of but few cases
where the latter would consent to the re..
moral, and in these nothing but starntioni
pro them. to it. .
h. Notwithstanding the poverty of
the uth, and the frequent applications made
by the . people of that section to Congress' Iker
help, large sums of =ma have been noised
for the one purpose of defeating the work of
reconstruction in which Congress is engaged.
As showing the temper' of Southern
Copperheads, we annex a paragraph
from a late number of the Vickburg

Xxvoeduzient of the President
ordered by the House.
. President Jonsson. is , again on the war,
path. On Fib:What thecouatiy wasstartled,
by the announcement that the President.; in
deliberate violation of the law, of the lead, had
undertaken to depose of Secretary Srsnipli,
and initial Adjutant Genetal Lommo notscas
as Secretary of War. The Senate was engeged
on the Reconstruction bill, when about 2 P.
M. an Executive Communication was receiv
ed, announcing that the President had ream
ed Hon. 11.13tanton as Secretary of War,
and endured Adintane4eneral Lorenzo Thom
•ea te, assume the duties of the War tiepin
meat, under the authority of an old stitute
exhumed fbr the occasion, and which "dates
prior to the Tenure of Office bill. The : news
of this action of the Executive flew rapidly
over the Senate, and soon a motion was made
to go into Executive Session, which was car
ried by a party vote. •
Accompanying the above was also a com
munication nominating Maj. Gen. George H.
Thomas to be Lieut. Garai and General by
brevet—the President being determined to
force a collision with Gen. GRANT by bringing
some officer to Witstdngton to rank, and prob
ably to supplant him. Lieut. - General pass-
WAS indignantly declined to be so used, and
the President fares noJetter with the gallant
Thomas, who immediately telegraphed to
Washington declining the proffered honor and
asking the Senate to refuse to confirm. The
President will find it difficult to get any repu
table army officer to do his dirty work. Poor
old Lorenzo Thomas, without brains and
without a military record,--e personal enemy
of Gen. Grant—would, if he could.
The Senate immediately went into execu
tive session, and after several hours discus
sion, adopted the following by a vote of 29 to
6
Whereas, The Senate has received and
considered the communication of the Presi
dent, stating that he had removed Edwin M.
Stanton, Sebretary of war, and had designa
ted the Adjutant General of the Army to act
u Secretes,. of War ad interim ; therefore,
.Reaolved, Ey the Senate of the United
States, that under the Constitution and laws
of the United States, the President has no
power to remove the Secretary e f War and to
designate any other officer to perform the duty
of that office ad interim.
Simultaneous with the departure of the
President's Secretary for the Capitol, Adju
tant General Thomas called upon the Secre
tary of Wai and read him his order from Mr.
Johnson to take possession of the War De
partment, all pipers, Sec., and a letter to Mr.
Stanton, from the President, to surrender the
office. Mr. Stanton of course declined, and
transmitted to the House a copy of the Presi
dent's order, viz :
Ezzocriva MerisioN,
Washington, D. C., Feb. 21, 1868. j
Stu : By virtue of the power and authority
vested in me u President by the Constitution
and laws of the United States, you are hereby
removed from °Mee as Secretary of War, and
your functions as such will telminate upon
receipt of this communication.
You will transfer to Brevet. Major General
Lorenzo Thomas, Adjutant General of the
Army, who has this - day been authorized to
act as Secretary of War ad interim l all re
cords, bodks, papers, and other public prop
erty now in your custody and charge. Re
spectfully yours,
ANDREW JOHNSON, President.
To the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Washing
[ton, D. C.
The reading of this order, coupled with the
President's evident purpose to degrade Gen.
GENT by persisting in his efforts to create a
General by brevet, produced intense excite
ment. The House Immediately reversed its
previous 'order to devote . Saturday to speech
es, and determined to meet for such business
as the exlipmcies of the hour might demand.
The order of removal, with a resolution of
impeaclunent, was referred to the Commit
tee on Reconstruction, by a strict party vote,
and the Houle adjourned, many Senators and
Members repairing to the War office to coun
sel &aviary &arm to stand firm in re
&Lbw Ewen bni usurpation.

Ilatardiw—Arrest eirMemeral
Washington, Feb. 22d, 1565.
Early this morning, Adjutant General
Lorenzo Thomas wns arrested on a warrant
leaned by Judge Cartier, Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the District, on an affida
vit made bY Secretary Stanton, charging him
with s violation of the .sth section of the Te
nure of Mei Bill, which provides that—
"If any person . shall, contrary to the pro
visions of Ude act, aceeptrury appointment to
, or emin any office, or shall hold or
or attempt to hold or exercise, as
such illUce or employment, he shall bedoz
and is hereby declared to be guilty of high
misdemeanor f and, upon trial and conviction
thereof; ha shall be, punished therefor by a
line, not exceeding ten thousand dollars, or
by imprisonment, not exceeding five years,
or both ; said punishment according to the
dispoiltkm of the court."
The warrant *as nerved at I A. AL , and
General Thomas, alter a private interview
with the President, appeared in Court and
gave bail in $5,000 tor a hearing on Wednes
day morning at 10 A. M.

About 11.30 A. M., Galena Lorenzo Thom

Cartier, presented himself at the door and told
Mr. Stanton he would like to see him.,

be could do no sock thing, and ordered him
to his room to porter= - his duties as Adjutant
General. General Thomas replied that he
had been ordered by the President to- act as
Secretary of War, and he intended to do so.

_onnsel and inspiration from that source,
he'preceeded to the War Department, and,
eit in ting the office of the Secretary, announced
h' Vas the Secretary of War ad interim,
and sated that he was ordered to assume the
sequ tly called at the White House, proba
blyelfunct ons of that o ffi ce. Gen. Thomas sub
for the purpose of explaining his failure
to "take possession of the War Office at all
hazards," ss he had engaged to do. He had
another interview with the President, but
what .passed between them is not known, un
less is be to some of Mr. Johnson's confiden
tial friends. During the afternoon he made
another effort to enter the Department build- I
lug, but the doors were closed by previous or
der, a4ad the ad -interim *spirant was treated
like any other intruder having no legitimate
business inside—refused admission. A per
son Who subsequently called at the Depart
ment with a communication addressed to
General Thomas as Secretary of War, was
informed by the officer of the guard that no
person by that mune-wire there recognized as
acting in that _capacity. The officers of the
Department have all recognised Mr. Stanton
ae the proper source of authority, and paid
no attention to the claims of Thomas. This
fact tends to illustrate the difficulties which
beset an official in this couatry who enters
upon to course of usurpation.
The Crowd at the CopttoL
Long before the hour for the seeembling of
Congress an anxious throng of people crowd
ed the passages and corridors of the Capitol,
all drawn as it were by one common pinvic
tion that the President was about to be im
peached. Every available inch of space in
the galleries of the House of „Representatives
was quickly occupied, and the doorways
blocked up with an anxious mass of people
struggling vainly to gain admittance.
Impeachment Decided Upen.
Shortly before 2 o'clock the members of the
Ih:construction Committee, who had held a
final sesaloa at 1 o'clock, were seen to enter
the House. The venerable "old commoner,"
Thaddues Stevens, presently occupied his
seat, and just as General Butler moved that
the Committee of the Whole House should
rise from the consideration of a bill then be-
fore it and report to the House, Mr. Stevens
rose and stood by, awaiting the resumption
of the chair by the Speaker. Immediately
there was a hush and the murmurs and buzz
of conversation ceased as if by one instinct,
and all eyes and ears were strained to watch
and hear the momentous proceedings that
seemed destined to open a new chapter in the
history of the present eventful epoch.
Speaker Colfax having renamed the chair
"recognized" the gentleman from Pennsylva
nia as having the floor. Before Mr. Stevens
proceeded, the Speaker earnestly admonished
all present that during the proceedings which
might take place, no expressions either of ap
probation or disapprobation could be tolera
ted. As Mr. Stevens proceeded, as Chairman
of the Reconstruction Committee, to present
the report, a silence most profound pervaded
the vast assemblage; and, weak and tremu-
lous as were the utterances of the venerable
statesman, he was distinctly heard throughout
the greater part of the ball.
The report submitted by Mr. Stevens hay_
ing been read, concluding with a resolution
"that Andrew Johnson, President of the Uni
ted States, be impeached of high crimes and
misdemeanors," Mr. Stevens made a few brief
remarks. He said the repot, spoke for itself.
He did not desire to discuss the question.—
ill understood it., and he was prepared to
Tuts upon it without debate. 14 however,
the other side desired to discuss, the measure,
he was ready to hear whatever they might
have to say.
The resolution was debated top late hour,
when the House adjourned with the under
standing that a vote should be taken on Mon-
day at SP. M. Messrs. Bpaulditig and Bing
ham, who have resolutely opposed impeach-
ment heretofore, lead oft in earnest and elo-
quent denunciation of the Preaident's9at-
tempted uampation of power, in flagrantly
trampling on the laws of the land and the
preroptions of Congress, which left no al-
tentative but a resort to the Constitutisnal
method of redress, an impeachment at the bar
of the Senate. During the discnsaion the fol-
lowing telegram was read from Gov. Ogelsby,
of Illinois:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
" SPELVGFIELD, Fet. 22, 1868. j
"The usurpations of . Andrew Johnson have
created a profoupd sensation in this State.—
His last act is thb act of a traitor. His trea

dies' gallery presented an array never equalled
daring any preceding day of the session.—
The members 7ere also on the f floor at an
early hour, and were collected in groups,
earnestly dhosesing the , bppceinutt brisinear
about to he tronsidered, reading despatches
from home, and listening to mime rumors
that are stoat art to the probable o n of the
President and the course to ued by
Mr. Stanton and Gen. Grant.
The debate was opened by Mr. Ashley, of
Ohio, in support of the Impeachment resolu
tion, folloied by Messrs. Kelsey, Washburn,
Wilson, Woodbridge, Boutwell, Cook, Blair,
Poladd, Stokes, Judd, Pike, Harding, Broom
all, and Benton—while }lours. Woodward,
Wood, Pruyn, Sitgreaves, Eiridge, Marshall,
Haight, and Niblack, of the Democratic side,
opposed. The speech of Goy. Boutwell was
a terrific airaignment of the President in his,
long career of Executive encroachments on
the prerogatives of Congress, while the
speeches of Judge Wilson and Washburn at
tracted much attention—the former having
hitherto resolutely opposed impeachment, and
the latter being the confidential friend of Gem
Grant. He made a telling speech in support
of the impeachment of the Presidents' The
longer occupation of the office of President
by.. Andrew Johnson was a perpetual menace
against the peace and good order irf the coun
try, and would keep us in perpetual turmoil,
to the derangement of all manner of knitter:
He had disgraced and brought contempt 'on
the American name. He had defied thebon
stitution and the laws, and the beet Interests
of the country demanded that he should be
removed from the high office that he had dis
honored and abused.
Mr. Stevens rose to close the debate, but
owing to his feeble health obtained permis
, non from the House to have his speech read
by Hon. Edward McPherson, Clerk of the
House. The reading of the speech occupied
scarcely twenty minutes, and. was concluded
just as the hands of the clock indicated two
minutes of five. The speech was closely lis
tened to, being a calm but incisive statement
of the grounds on which the Committee had
recommended impeachment, and a fervid ap
peal to the House to rise to the dignity of the
solemn obligations devolved on them.
Mr. Stevens having concluded, the Clerk
read the resolution in clear and ringing tones :
"Resolved, That Andrew Johnson, Presi
dent of the United States, be impeached of
high crimes and misdemeanors."
The roll was then called amid profound si
lence-126 members voting fbr the adoption
of the resolution, and 47 against. The vote
wasa strictly partizsin one, every Republican
member voting for Impeachment.
Messrs. Stevens and Bingiurm a irere then
appointed a Committee to pro Ned to the
United States Senate, and in the name of all
the people of the United States impeach the
President of the United States of high crimes
and misdemeanors; and Messrs. ttoutwell of
Massachusetts, Stevens of Pennsylvania,
Bingham of Ohio, Wilson of. lowa, Logan of
Illinois, Julian of Indiana and Ward of New
York, were appointed a Committee to prepare
the articles of Impeachment. Whereupon
the House adjourned.
Message from the President,
The President sent to the Senate this morn
ing a message, nominating lion. Thomas
Ewing, of Ohio, to be Secretary of War, in
place of Mr. Stanton. removed, and explain
ing the appointment of Adjutant general
Thomas as Secretary ad interim. It is much
more respectful in tone than similar docu
ments heretofor sent in, and may be npsarded
asin form of apolo g y. He claims to have
acted within the sphere_ of his constitutional
prerogatives, and argues at length the uncon
stitutionality of the Civil Tenure Act. The
message was read quietly, without eliciting
debate.
The War Department.
There was no special excitement around
the War Department this morning. Mr.
Stanton still occupies his room, not having
been home since Friday, and is almost con
stantly in consultation with Senators and mem
bers of Congress. About eleven o'clok, Gen
eral Thomas, the would-be Secretary ad in
terim, appeared at the * door, having come
direct from the President. He was stopped
by the guard at the•door, and sent in his card
to Mr. Stanton. He was Immediately admit
ted, and going to Mr. Stanton's room, where
Judge Fisher, General 0. 0. Howard and
several members of Congress were assembled,
addressed Mr. Stanton, saying:
"Mr. Stanton, I have this morning again
received orders from the President directing
me to take charge of the War Department
and the records thereof, and discharge the
duties of the Secretary of War ad iterim.
In obedience to that order, air, I am here to
take charge of the Department - and assume
the duties of Secretay of War ad interim."
Mr. Stanton replied : "I do not acknowl
edge the authority of the Prealdent to give
any such order, and refuse to surrender the
Department to you. You will proceed to
your room, sir, and discharge your duties as
Adjutant General of the Army."
General Thomas replied : "I will not do so,
sir. I have been ordered by the President to
discharge the duties of Secretary of War ad
interim, and I will obey that order."
On leaving the building, soon after, he
went directly back to the Presidential man
sion, where a Cabinet meeting was in pro
gram
Ofger ;caw genera arms.
General Grant has issued an haportant and
significant order, calling the attention of the
commanders of pests to the tent act of Con.
greenthat at/ orders to the army valise Pass
through hie hands, that hie headquarters
are in Waahington, and that orders em
anating from any other source mud not
be obeyed. General Grant has also removed
the old guard of the War Department, the
12th Infantry, and detailed men of his own
body guard, the sth Cavalry, to do the duty.
The Istdilferenee of the Denteerats.
One of the most striking featares in the po
sition of affairs here is the indifference which
the Democrats manifest towanl Mr. Johnson,
and the little sympathy they possess for him.
In'private conversation Democratic Senators
to-day have declared that he acted foolishly
in bringing his towel with Congress to a
point where an indictment for impeachment
would be legally austainsd ; that a has gone
too far and too fast, and that .haviag acted
without consultation with than, the Demo
cratic party is in no wisy'respenidhle fot tda
defence. t
One thin is certain, that so attempt will
be made to get up a revolution in Mr. Jnhn
sou's favor, arid that the impeachment Will be
brought to a peaceful and deliberate close hi
the Satate. .
There are various opinions as to how long
the trial will last. Mr. Stevens said to.dy . it
ought to be canted out in three days, but he
Isupposed it would take three weeks.
.The
nsral opinion is that it will not be allowed
to extend orw a month.

Rm./alma, Pa., Feb. 24.—The news of the
prompt action of the House in the impeach
reantanassismos waspeeeived.bere.withlted
rejoicing. One itrunlivi gnu were tired in
the square in honor Of the'event.
As liflerrEs, of special Information at
this crisis we present, without note or
comment, the text of the law of impeach
ment as it is found in the Constitution of
the United States. It will be seen that
Chief Justice CEASE will preside at the
ARTICLE L Sac. IL The House of Repre
sentatives shall choose their Speaker and
other officers, and shall have the sole power
of impeachment.
Armes L Bso. ILL The Senate akin have
the sole power to try all impeachments.—
When sitting for that pnrfiosethey shall be
on oath or affirmation. When fhe President
of the United States is tried the Chief Justice
Shall preside, and no person shall be convict
ed without the concurrence of two-thirds of
the members present. Judgment in cues of
impeachment shall not extend farther than to
removal from office and disqualification to
hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or
profit 'under the United States, bull the pally
convicted shall nevertheless be liable and sub
ject to indictment, trial, judgment, and punish
ment according to law.
Airricts 11. Sze. IV. The President, Vice
President, and all civil officers of the United
States shall be removed from office on . im
peachment for, and conviction of treason,
bribery,- or other high crimes and misdemean
ors.
The present Senate is composed of 42
Republicans and 10 Democrats, with one
vacancy in Kentucky and one in Mary
land. The former will be tilled, but the
latter will hardly be filled In time to .be
of avail in this case; and all voting, thir
ty-six will be necessary to convict. The
only point to be made is: Did Mr. JOHN
SON violate any law by issuing the com
mission to LORENZO THOMAS to assume
the duties of the War Department?—
Thirty Senators have already voted that
he did, three more were absent who be
lieve that he did, and live were paired,
making thirty-eight.. The other four Re
publicans
are almost certain to vote with
their colleagues. '
G. HALPINE, writing from Wash
ington to the N. Y. Citizen, over the fa
miliar signature of "Miles O'Reilly," re
fers to the miserable slanders curren't in
Copperhead papers, charging General
GRANT with drunkenness. Gen. HAL
PINE is a prominent Democrat, but an
honorable man. He thuadisposes of the
infamous charge :
"It is altogether probable, so far as rcan
now see, that the Citizen tday be °bilk to
oppose the election of Gen. Grant, in conse
quence of the platform upon which the Rad
icals are endeavoring to place him ; but it is
no part of the Democratic creed, as it was
taught to me in the old-time councils of Tam
many Hall, to fight with poisoned arrows.—
Let me, therefore, after full examination, de
nounce all these recent charges affecting Gen.
Grant's habits as utter and DAMNABLZ UZI."
THE clamor for the representation of
the South in Congress, long and bitterly
persisted ip by Rebels and Copperheads,
Is now entirely at an end. The whole
present effort is to keep those States in
chaos in the hope of electing their can
didate for President, and failing therein,
to precipitate azother war.
