• MUSCLE VS TALENT.—In the next
Congress New York will have two rep
resentatives—Roscoe Colliding in the
Senate and John Morrissey in the
House—who will be fully able to take
care of themselves. _Roscoe it is said,
is an accomplished boxer and ardent
admirer of the 'manly art," but never
"toed the scratch," but John is profi
cient in both.
Ashley, tho "Impeacher," is get
ting no very enviable reputation as a
reward• for his conspicuous bearing in
Congress. fle was born in this State,
left at fifteen for the West, where ho
became in turn, a peddler of cheap
jewefry among the negroes along the
Mississippi, a "botch" printer, a poorly
read lawyer, a boat builder, a seller of
drugs, a newspaper publisher,&c., and
withal a "renegade" from the Demo
cratic party. Sic transit gloria mundi.

Philadelphia lawyer to tell which side
ho is on.—Hollidaysburg Standard.
We can tell without halt trying. Wo
aro on the side of the humbugged peo
ple, and opposed to having the wool
pulled over our oyes by the rascally
politicians. The politicians now have
the country in charge—when they give
us peace, quiet, prosperity and a Union,
we may take a side with them merely
for amusement. It don't require much
manhood to follow in the footsteps of
a master.
TIIE STAR or EMPIRE.—The recent
discussion in Congress of female voting
and the speech of Senator Cowan in
its favor, seem not to have been with
out their effect on the country. Al.
ready the subject has been broached
in various State Legislatures, (whose
jurisdiction over it is undisputed,) and
in Maine the Legislature has gone so
far as to pass "orders" looking to the
abolition of all distinction between the
sexes in the matter of suffrage. We
shall thus probably soon have the
matter put to a practical test in at
least one of they States ; and if the
Maine franchise law confers the right
of office holding, we may ore long be
hold a female Governor with her lady
councillor's. The sex will then have
something else than their waterfalls to
think of.
ANIMOSITY TILL REATLI.-A despatch
from Galveston, Texas, announces that
great excitement has been occasioned
by the interference of U. S. General
Griffin in the obsequies of the rebel
General A. S. Johnston. General Grif•
fin has ordered that there be no public
demonstration of respect to the mem
ory of the deceased by the community,
which feels his loss so much as to sus
pend business generally. lie even re
stricted the people, friends as well as
strangers, from following the funeral
cortege. We cannot commend the
course of General Griffin. To be sure
there are some who believe that it is
giving a license to rebellion, to allow
such demonstration, but oven in our
own community who would raise his
voice against the friends of a deceased
neighbor, no matter how numerous his
faults, from following his remains?
There aro some who forget that
. the
Southern people were roused to resis
tance with the mistaken belief that
their country was in danger, and that
they were fighting for what they
thought to be right. Many good men,
many religious men, unfortunately en
tertained this belief, and from what we
learn, Gcn. Johnston, like Gen. Stone
wall Jackson, was ono of this class.
In any event, we cannot see why
duo respect to the memory of General
Johnston as a . friend, no matter what
his follies or crime, should not have
been allowed. We can readily divine
the cause of the "great excitement," as
Announced, and we fear that this ono
act of mistaken justice on the part of
General Griffin will but add fresh fuel
to the vanity and bitterness of the
Southern heart. When will wo learn,
as a people and individuals, to heap
"coals of fire" on the heads of our enc.
mien, by treating them with kindness
and forbearance ?
ts,..A Washington special to the
Chronicle says: lion. John Covode
had an interview of some length with
Secretary Stanton yesterday. Mr.
Stanton was feeling very despondent,
and remarked substantially that ho had
placed two million men in the field du
ring the late war, six hundred thous
and of whom bad bitten the dust, or
been maimed and crippled forlife, and
yet, contemplating all these sacrifices,
ho considered the country was in a
worse condition than at any time du
ring the war.
Who's to blame? The politicians.
IloN. Thad. Stevens has been elect
ted president of a fire company in
Lancaster. We should like to see the
old fellow running "wid der mercliene."
Jr is reported that President John
son will i,,me no more vetoes, as he
thinks it t.N - less to waste U. S. paper.
The Courage of Moderation.
Touching the impeachment project,
the Albany Evening Journal says
"ltm is the concurrent testimony of
impartial observers at \Vashington,
that the policy of entering upon a for
mal attempt to impeach the l'i•esitlent,
is growing in favor. If so, it is not, we
are sure, because men's judgments are
convinced, but rather because too
many fear to interpose against the,
most extreme proposition. It now re
quires wore courage to be immoderate than
to be extravagant."
There is much force in the conclu
ding observation. Now, indeed, it"re
quires more courage to be moderate
than to be extravagant." Extremes of
opinion and violence of proposition
and language, are the madness of the
hour. Because the country has passed
through a great war, or revolution,
c:-cry thing revolutionary seems to be
considered in order. The Constitu
tion is no longer venerated as by our
fitthers. Our whole Government, in
the judgment of a certain class, is in
need of radical change. Nothing is
right in the eyes of these extremists.
The noisiest part of public opinion,,
too, is on the side of extravagance.
Moderato men quail before the cur
rent, and make but feeble efforts to
guide or stem it. To hint at the wis
dom of moderation is to incur obloquy
as a "renegade," or a faint-hearted
member of the great party - of liberty
and right. Multitudes aro alive to the
wrong and danger of this state of
thing, but how few have the pluck to
protest against it, or to labor in the
cultivation of a healthier sentiment!
Courage, then is one thing needed—
courage to. denounce and resist the re
volutionary schemes of demagogues
and adventurers ; courage to stand by
the Constitution as the ark of safety,
and to insist that the charges which
may . be desirable to meet the new
wants of the Republic shall be effected
in a constitutionil.manner. As mat
ters at present look, moderate men
appear to have lost faith in the Virtue
of moderation, or to lack the nerve
which is wanted in times like these.—
..W. Y. Times.
-STEP LIEN
The English and French Press on Im
peachment.
In France, both the imperialist and
Liberal journals look on the impeach
ment movement as being revolution•
ary in its nature. Touching, as it
does, the highest functionary of the
State—aiming, as it does, at his forci
ble removal from .office—based, as it
is, on grounds so frivolous, and accom
panied by accusations so gross—doubt
ful as seems the issue of the contest.,
and uncertain as appears the course of
events subsequent to it—the affair is
inexplicable to them on any other
theory than that of the "revolution."
As a consequence the gravity of the
movement is discerned, and the report
to such an expedient is on all hands
deprecaled. Of course we should ex
pect such a journal as La Libel* to
indulge in high-sounding rhetoric on
the subject, somewhat akin to that of
our impeachers hero ; but oven those
who are inclined to talk thus feel that
impeachment marks a crisis beyond
which our career must be dubious and
unsteady. The protests of the Temps
and the Presse are no less emphatic
than that of La France, and, in fact,
we may say that the organs of all par
ties are unanimous and decided in
their remonstrances against the threat.
oned measure.
The chief organs of English thought
treat the impeachment business as by
far the most serious and perilous pro
cedure in our political history. Near
ly all of them, like their French con
temporaries; apply to it the word "re
volution," and look upon its origin and
pretext,as well as its probable results,as
indicative of the prey:dance of a revo
lutionary feeling in the country. The
Times, the Pal/ Jlall Gazette, and the
Saturday Review—each regarding the
matter from the standpoint of the ru
ling classes—are agreed as to its char
acter, while the more respectable Of
the Liberal organs aro no less strenn-
MIS in deprecating it as dangerous to
the repose of the country and the per
manence of free institutions. Of course
all that they say against the measure
is based on the ground upon which it
has been urged, and the objects that
are sought by it. In this view, the
Times remarks that the "trial of the
President will transforni the Constitu
tion," and the following sentences
which we bring together give the
points of its opinion :
"It may be, and no doubt is, galling
to the dominant party in Congress to
be thwarted as they have been by ono
man ; but the Constitution gives him
the power, and it is of that they ought
to complain. It is, in truth, the Con
stitution, rather than Mr. Johnson,
which is now the object of assault ; it
is the Constitution, rather than Mr.
Johnson, which is in danger. If the
articles of his impeachment be truly
drawn they will make the first charge
against him that he has used all the
powers of his office, and by the side of
this all other offences are as nothing.
Let the impeachment be prosecuted
with the determination which is said
to inspire its managers, and its results
will be much more portentous than
the mere removal of Mr. Johnson from
his B lau. The Presidency itself will
cease to be what it, has been, and the
balance which now exists upon the
legislative action of Parliamentary
majorities will vanish. 'i"1: y. We
need not, however, dwell upon the fu
ture ; it is sufficient to note the phase
through which the American Consti
tution appears to be passing, the flail
ger that the artificial balance of pow
ers, the cheeks upon impulsive legisla
tion, the independence of the xec u
tive Government contemplated by the
founders of the Republic will all be
swept away."
The Pan ilTall Ga sUe points out
the lack of d,finition in all the accusa
tions against President Johnson. After
a keen dismission of this point., and
after expressing a fear that the judicial
view of the ease may be lost sight of
in the excited state of party feeling, it
concludes by the utterance of a strong
hope that
"The Senate will give the world one
more example of the Illet which is so
often overlooked and obscured that
the passionate external violence of the
American character and manners over
lays and conceals a solid foundation of
good sense, moderation, and regard
for law which makes itself felt in the
long run and on great occasions."-
Tine Saturday Reriew treats the pro
posed impeachment at length, and
with signal ability. It analyzes tine
powers of the different branches of the
Government, as set forth in the Con•
stitution, shows the reel:liar position
which the President, has among the ru
lers of States, and tries to discover his
culpability as set forth in the various
charges brought against him :
"The President," it remarks, "stands
on a In•esent basis of Constitutional
right ; while Congress is acting in for
mal defiance of tine Constitution, and
seems inclined, mamrditig to the latest
accounts, to set the Constitution aside
altogether, and to assert for itself
tine onotipotenes, of a British P:u•lia
ment—the right of altering all laws,
whether fundamental or incidental,
whether part of the original compact
of Union or mere measures of Con
gressional legislation, by a simple ma-
jority of both houses. ' ! " 1 * TllO
charges against him, correctly estima
ted, amount simply to this— that in
the exercise of his executive power he
has s.?t, at nought the wishes of Con
gress, and acted upon his own judg
ment ; that he has carried out his own
policy, and not the policy of a major
ity of the two houses. And it is plain,
not only that an impeachment on such
a ground as this would ho a gross
abuse of a remedy intended for a very
diffe'rent purpose, but that it would
totally alter the existing relations be
tween the Executive and the Legisla
ture, and subvert the present Consti
tution of the Federal Government.
The Federal Constitution has explicit
ly made lcnowu the purpose for which
this formidable weapon may be drawn.
It was never meant to enable Congress
to get rid of apolitical opponent. Had
it been intended that Congress should
he able to remove 'a President for po
litical reasons, a machinery less cum
brous and less cruel would have beets
au pplied."
There is nothing particularly novel
about these views of the leading jour
nals of Great Britain, and we do not
quote them as affording any light to
our politicians upon Constitutional
questions. But, they indicate the drift
of intelligent European thought upon
the most important matter in current
American history. And they show
that what is here only a subject of
Congressional frivolity and partisan
animosity is there regarded as of the
gravest national import.—AT. Y. Times.
Views on the Impeachment,
The N. Y. Tribune reminds Congress
that the N. Y. Herald, which, it says,
"now heads the hunt for the impeach
ment of President Johnson," is not a
safe guide to follow. The Tribune
adds: "If a necessity shall be found to
exist for impeaching and ejecting from
office a President of (he United States,
we are sure every considerate Ameri
can will regard 'it as a deplorable ne
cessity—one to be avoided if possible,
and as long as possible. No patriot
will wantonly or lightly shake the
twin fabrics of public order and public
credit." In another article the Mb
'WIC says: "The idea of impeaching and
removing President Johnson has more
strength in the House than we had
supposed, and seems to be gaining sup
porters. However, it is not likely to
be definitely acted on at the present
session."
The New York Times says: "Presi
dent Johnson; we understand, is in no
wise alarmed at the menacing demon
strations made against him in Con
gress. If impeachment be determined
upon in a constitutional way, lie will
throw no bar in the way of the fullest
investigation of every charge, person
al and political, upon which it may be
founded. On the contrary, he will do
all in his power to secure the most
searching investigation into the facts
of every accusation contained in the
articles drawn up."
The New York Economist says :
Judged from a business standpoint, an
impeachment trial at this time, with
all its attendant excitement, wohid be
almost a national calamity. Though
the Republican organization may pos
sess the power to remove the Execu
tive, and he may have committed of
fenses open to impeachment, the cool
er heads of both parties unite in con
demning such a course as unwise and
uncalled for."
The London Times of the 11th says:
United States bonds wore in great re
quest until last Friday, when the vote
for the impeachment of the President
transpired and confidence in the stead
iness of American affairs received a
rude shock.
Tiii Delaware county Republican,
one of the oldest papers in the State,
speaking of the impeachment of the
Pr,isident, says:
"The foremost man in Congress in
the measure of impeachment is Mr.
Ashley, of Ohio, whose political record
is by no means to our liking. We have
some recollection of this gentleman in
connection with certain active move
ments to defeat Mr. Lincoln for the
presidency; and wo remember the cir
culation of documents of the most de
famatory character against that la
mented statesman and patriot, Which
were scattered broadcast under Mr.
Ashley's frank. We have no knowl
edge, on the other hand. of the gentle
man's connection with any measure
of practical utility for tlio Republican
party or for the country."
ri-The reader is presumed to re
tain distinct recollection of the jury
"out West" somewhere, which, al
though the testimony against the roan
accused of stealing a hog was over
whelming, nevertheless pronounced
him not guilty—a verdict that was sub
sequently explained by the simple re
mark, that nearly every man of the
jury had some of the pork. Reasons kin
dred to this may explain why investi
gating committees seldom find any
thing out, and generally report that
there is no ground for the charge of
corruption.—Piitsburg Commercial.

Jan. 25.—The Republican Associa
tion of the District, at a meeting held
last night, admitted several colored
citizens as members, and proclaimed
their intention to do so in ease of every
application—their standard of mem
bership being merely a requirement
that applicants shall be Republicans in
polities and of good moral character.
The NationaClicpublican denies that
an article favoring armed resistance to
Congress, ever appeared in it, although
it was credited to that journal in differ
ent parts of the country, accompanied
by the statement that it was author
ized and sanctioned by the President.
The Republican says that it has the
Highest authority for asserting that
the article alluded to was not authori
zed or sanctioned by the President in
any journal at any time.
Jan. 20.—A letter was received in
this city to-day from a broker in Now
York, whose name and address can be
furnished, and who is vouched for as
reliable, charging that the sum of $5O
- was subscribed in that City to in
duce the offering of impeachment reso
lutions in the douse. The ]ether re
fers to one broker who admits having
subscribed $5,000. It does not appear
that any money was ever paid. This
may possibly explain the premature an
nouncement in New York of the
peachment resolutions.

But they were compelled to follow the
