OUR CANDIDATES:
FOR PRESIDENT,

FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
OTTIZTIN.
yTho Logislaturo is working on
the general appropriation bill, innu
morablo local bills, politics generally,
eto.; etc. A final adjournment will
take place about the close of the month.
Tho free railroad bill has not yet pass
ed both houses.
TIIE, very-general opinion with Re
publicans at Washington is, that Pres
ident Johnson will bo tried soon, and
convicted. If the President can 800 in
standing ktrial,_ conviction certain, he
may resign and appeal to the people
through the - ballot-box. If convicted
he would be incapable of over holding
office again. -
ra_Don't expect too much. Two
attempts to impeach Andrew Johnson
failed. The third has been successful
so far as the U 01290 has anything to do
with the question. But it is for the
Senate to convict and throw the Pres
ident out of his high oftlee. The Sen
ate May convict him, and it may not.
Senators are jurymen and are not per
mitted to tell tales out 'of school:
m,Large meetings of Demoorats
and Conservatives have been hold in
Philadelphia and New-York, at which
resolutions were passed affirming the
right of the President to remove a
Cabinet: officer, -and denouncing im
peachment as- scandalous, wrongful
and unconstitutional, at the same time
counselling the hope to trust ,to free
discussion and the ballot box for re
dress in the event of the removal of
the President.

Of the ono hundred and one dele
gated elected and heard from up to
Saturday last, to the State Convention
which meets in Philadelphia on the
llth.inst., seventy-six arc for Curtin,
thirteen for Grow, eight for Geary,
and four undecided. Thirty-two yet
to hear from, but Curtin will have a
majority of them. Andy Curtin is the
most popular man in the State.
110... We publish in full President
Johnson's message to Congress, in re
gard to the removal of Secretary Stan
ton. It appears thatho has forced the
issue in order to bring the question be
fore the court "for final and authorita.
tivo discussion." As the case now
Diands, with the Senate in readiness to
try the President, it remains to be seen
which will got tired first—the Presi
dent or Congress. Should the President
be convicted by Congress, ho will take
his case before the Supremo Court, and
if it sustains him in his position, the
situation w ill be where it was in the
beginning.
Se-Another "supplementary recon
struction bill" bas passed Congress. It
provides ,that in all elections in the
States to which it applies a majority of
the votes actually cast shall decide;
that a residence of . ten days qualifies a
person to Vote 'on the constitution
when submitted to the people, and that
a the time of voting upon the ratifica
tion of the constitution the voters may
also vote for members of Congress and
State officers. The President, of course,
will veto this bill, but Congress will
then pass it over his veto, and it will
become a law within two. weeks. This
act will enable the Republicans to re
construct and bring into 'the' Union
the ten southern (outside) states with
in a very short time, and thus secure
twenty additional Boasters. With
such a reinforcement Johnson may be
convicted—without it his conviction is
thought doubtful. ,
In spite of the 'frantic efforts of par
ty zealots to lash the public mind into
a. frenzy of passion, the people remain
calm and unmoved under the impeach:
ment of the President. There is no
great degree of excitement, still less of
passion or alarm ) in tho public mind.
Even the stock market, usually most
sensitive to all startling movements, is
unaffected by the action of Congress,

classes take the - whole thing quietly,

Washington, Fob. 28.--The applica
tion for a writ of quo warranto against
Mr. Stanton, to oblige him to show

late yesterday afternoon. It will take
several months to - get the caso up to
the Supreme Court of tho United

,General Grant having made a thor

moval of the City Councils of New Or

that they were unjustly removed, and
has therefore revoked Hancook's order

Ptditical Items,
—lt is said, that all the delegates
from Philadelphia, with but ono,excep
tion, aro for Grant and Curtiri.
—lt is suggested that Andrew John
son may conclude to resign his office in
order to escape the disabilities imposed
by a sentence of impeachment. If he
intends to bo a candidate for the Cop
perhead nomination for tho Presidency
it will be necessary for him to resign,
because impeachment disqualifies the
culprit from ever holding office again.
—The lowa State Democratic Con
vention for the appointment of dele
gates to the National Convention met
at Dos Moines on Thuisday last. It
was the largest ever held in the State.
A resolution was adopted that George

—The Committee of Arrangements
in Philadelphia have secured Concert

for the use . of the Union Republican

the evening of the 12th.
- - Nothing affects business so injur
iously as uncertainty. Ever since the
contest between the President and
Congress began commercial affairs
haiie been unsettled, speculation has
boon mere gambling, mercantile ven
tures of all setts have been rife with
double the usual risks, and as a natu
ral consequence failures have been fre
quent, and confidence been weakened.
—The.Yatioizal Repubiican,published
in Washington, says: "Men who in
tend to obey the Constitution and laws
themselves do not usually talk about
what they will do in furnishing mon
and money to put down other people,
until some overt act has been commit
ted which distinctly violates the• Co
nstitution and the laws made in pursu
ance thereof."
—Three-fourths of the delegates of

tion, are for Curtin for Vice President;

ion exists regarding his power to com

What Mr. Johnson says for Himself,
A New York correspondent of the
Boston Journal writes as follows":
I have just had an interview with a
leading Democrat from New England.
He had an interview with President
Johnson on Sunday night.. The Pres
ident made a full disclosure of his rea
sons for the stop he has taken, -and
what his purpose is in the matter.—
Not ono of his friends'—not oven the
Cabinet—knew that ho had resolved
to defy Congress. Of this action in the
matter his friends complain, as it took
them wholly by surprise, and proven.
ted that preparation that W,as needed
to meet the new issue. Mr. Johnson
intended , to moot the issue alone, and
asked and took no counsel, so ho said.
Mr. Johnson expressed the utmost
confidence in Chief Justice Chase, that
if a trial comes he will give the Presi
dent a fair trial. Ho does not say
that Mr. Chase is with him, but that
ho will deal fairly with him and that
he will hese% in his hands.
Tho tactics of the friends of the
President, Messrs. Dixon,. Doolittle,
Hendricks, and others, is to demur to
the Court before whom the case is to
be tried. They will raise the question
that the Senate' is not competent to
try 'the President, as the majority
have prejudged the case. The Attor
ney General has informed the Sena
tors who defend Mr. Johnson, that
they have the same right to object to
a Senator that a prisoner has to object
to a jury:"
- In answer to the question how ho
can justify his.conduct of acting under
the Civil Tonftro Bill at ono time and
ignoring it
,at another; Mr. Johnson
say's. he did act under it, but with the
understanding that a case should at
once bo made up and carried to the
civil tribunal. But ho was 'de
feated and thwarted by his enemies,
and now ho means the law shall be
tested, and he is willing to' pay the
penalty for the attempt be it what it
may. He said this without bravado
et a defiant spirit, but with the air of
one who had undertaken a grave mat
tor, the issue of which was quite doubt
ful. His friends complain that ho
showed a want of confidence in them,
and had not , treated thorn fairly to
take so important a step, as to defy
Congress and give them no warning—
bringing the news on thorn like a clap
of thunder from a clear sky.
In Now England, public attention is
being extensively directed to the prop
agation of fish, and the Boston Journal
is of opinion that in five years from
this time, if the propagation of fish
goes on in anything liko the rp,tio of
the past two years, trout will be plen
ty in American markets at five cents a
pound.
As an evidence of the state of socie
ty in Texas, it is mentioned that a
gentleman has lost five hundred hogs
in a few weeks. They wci•e stolen, a
few at a time, and dim .° is no remedy

THE IMPEACHMENT.
In thir Senate to-day the doorkoop
or announced a committee of tho House
of Representatives, and Messrs. Ste
yens and Bingham entered and stood
facing the President pro tern., while a
largo number of members of the House
ranged themselves in a semi-circle be
hind. When order was restored, Mr.
Stevens read in a firm voice as fol
lows :
Mr. President: In obedience to the
order of the House of Representatives,
wo have appeared before you ; and in
the name of the House of Representa
tives and of all the people of the Uni
ted State . s, we do impeach Andrew
Johnson, President of the United
States, o high crimes and misdemean
ors in aloe. And we further inform
the Senate that the House of Repre
sentatives will, in duo time, exhibit
particular articles of impeachment
against him, and make good the same.
And in their name wo demand that
the Senate take duo order for the ap
pearance of the said Andrew Johnson
to answer to the said impeachment.
The President pro tern. Tho Senate
will take order in the promises.
Mr. Howard (Rep.) of Michigan, of
fered the following :
Resolved, That the message of the
House of Representatives relating to
the impeachment of Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States, be re
ferred to a select committee of seven
to be appointed by the Chair, to con
sider the same and report thereon.
The Chair appointed as the select
committee called fur by Mr. Howard's
resolution on impeachment, Messrs.
Howard, Trumbull, Conkliug, Ed•
rounds, Morton, Pomeroy, and John
son.
THE THOMAS CASE
The room of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia was crowded
this morning with both white and black
spectators, to witness the proceedings
in the ease of Adjutant General Thom
as, who on Saturday gave bail for his
appearanee before Chief Justice Cart
ter. Members of the bar .were .also
largely represented. Adjutant Gen
eral Thomas canto into the room ac
companied by his counsel, Richard J.
Merrick and Waller S. Cox, with J.
H. Bradley, Sr. as advising counsel.
By order of Judge Cartter, at twenty
minutes past ten the Criminal Court
Was opened. A subphcona was issued
this morninr , to Stanton to appear in
Court and bring with him his commis
sion as Secretary of War, and also cer
tain official papers.
After tho transaction of seine other
business, Judge Orlin came into the
Court and took a seat at the right of
Chief Justice Carttor. Judge Fisher
was at the left of Judge Cartter. At
twenty minutes past eleven Judge
Cartter asked whether counsel were
ready to proceed with the case of the
United States against Adjutant Gen
eral Thomas. Mr. -- Riddle stated
that being unwell to-day, and the sub
ject being of high importance, he de
sired that the case be continued till to
morrow. Mr. Merrick objected, on
the ground that great public interests
were involved, which required early
settlement. Judge Cartter was dis
posed to grant a postponement. Mr.
Merrick, for General Thomas, asked
that Judge Cartter consider this mat
ter in the Criminal Court, and not in
Chambers. Judge Cartter declined to
do this, saying ho merely sat as an ex
amining Magistrate. Mr. Merrick said
General Thomas was now here, and
his bail surrendered him to the custo
dy of the Marshal of the District of
Columbia. He was therefore a pris
oner, and his counsel asked for a writ
of habeas corpus. The following is the
petition:
To Hon. D. L. Cartter, Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court in said District :
The petition of Lorenzo Thomas shows
that lie is now held in custody by the
Marshal of this District under and by
virtue of a warrant made and deliver
ed to said Marshal by your Honor, sit
ting in chamber. Ho avers and will
show that said imprisonment is wholly
unlawful and without color of authori
ty under the Constitution and laws of
the United States upon the facts stN
tod as cause for his said arrest, and he
prays your honor for a writ of habeas
corpus, ordering said Marshal to bring
the body of your petitioner before your
Honor in open court, that the cause of
his detention aforesaid may be inquir
ed into and ho be dealt with according
to law.
Mr. Carpenter said ho regarded the
last action as an entirely unnecessary
episode. This action has been prose
cuted' here by the Secretary of War
for the purpose of bringing this matter
to settlement in the Courts. There is
no feeling between him and General
Thomas, Considerations alone of a pub
lic nature have acutated this prosecu
tion. 'General Thomas is ft gentleman
who will not depart. We do not ask
that be should even be required to en
ter into his own recognizancc,and sure
ly ho cannot come into Court and
make himself a prisoner unless the
Court. at least accepts that fact, or
somebody asks him to be imprisoned.
With the full latitude which we con•
sent ha shall have, and which I have
no doubt your Honor will very wil
lingly accord to him, this application
for a writ of habeas corpus seems to be
rather unnecessary.
Counsel for defense again urged their
application.
The Chief Justice—l have never
heard of a prisoner surrendering him
self to his securities or the Marshal.—
It is always to the Court. Where is
the process of the Marshal by which
General Thomas is held ? His warrant
has been 'returned, and the parties' re
cognizance has been substituted. Hav
ing appeared according to the terms of
his recognizance, he is present in court
to answer in regard to the offense
charged. It appears to me, however,
this is not the question before me as
examining magistrate, but rather a
question to be considered by the Judge
who shall sustain the application for a
writ of habeas corpus. The question
for me to determine as examining ma
gistrate is—what disposition shall be
made of the case?
Mr. Cox—Certainly.
Mr. Morrick—.4 was going to say to
your Honor, if you allow me a singlo
moment, that if the view expressed by
the other side bo ,correct, Gen. Thomas
being beforo your Honor, and applied
for a continuance until to morrow,
your Honor must make some disposi-
tion of the prisoner in the meantime.
When that is done, I can presont my
petition of the Criminal Court. If your
Honor discharge him, the case is at an
end, and you must either discharge or
commit.
Chief Justice—With my knowledge
of General Thomas's character, and es
pecially after the avowal of the coun
sel that they had full confidence in him
I should not bold him for a moment.
Mr. Merrick—Then ho is discharg
ed. •
Chief Justice—Yes, sir, he is dis
charged. Under the intimation hero,
as far as any personal appearance is
concerned, tho case may be continued,
and if Thomas is arrested, it will be
hereafter. I shall not hold to person.
al imprisonment when my own confi
dence in his character corroborates
what is said by the prosecution, and
especially when they do not desire
it.
Judge Cartter granted the motion
for the following reasons :—lt is con
fessed hero by the prosecution or rath
er stated by the prosecution-, and it is
a truth which, under the circumstan
ces of this case, we, aro well advised
of, that General Thomas does not seek
to evade the process ,of law in any re
gard ; that he is here, and will be hero
ready to answer to the demand when
called on. This, I believe, is now the
Wednesday preceding the Monday
when the grand jury convenes in this
District, only - four days, when the tri
bunal charged with the presentment
of all such offenses will be in segiion to
hear this and all other cases. Under
circumstances like these, what is my
duty as an examining magistrate ?
Is it to hold this ease from day to day
for examination until the grand jury
meets, or dismiss it and let-it abide the
ordinary process of justice? It appears
to me my duty is to let the ease take
that course. There are no circumstan
ces developed in it, as it appears to
me, that can settle anything before
this more inquiry tribunal, and I can
not disguise from myself that the sub
ject underlying the controversy- is pas
sing the ordeal of the highest tribunal
of the country, and that in contrast
with its gravity, there is a preliminary
examination here, which must termin•
ate with the session of the Grand jury,
would take on a character of trilling.
I do not, propose to be instrumental in
instituting any such proceedings. Un
der the avowals made before me to-day
I think my duty as a magistrate is
properly discharged in dismissing the
case upon the motion of the counsel for
the defendant, and shall do so. Gener
al Thomas, you cap go hence.
As General ThornaS left the court
room with his counsel, several hun
dred persons in the street welcomed
him with cheers.
THE IMPEASHDIHNT
WASHINGTON, February 29
About forty Members have entered
their names with the Speaker, as can
didates for the floor in the discussion
of the impeachment articles. The de
bate will accordingly occupy ten hours.
Bach speaker is limited, by rule, to
fifteen tniukttes.' There will be a ses
sion to ugg4 the vote on
the artily SitVg, fixed for Monday, at
four oW;
It wl , i'el T xpected that application
woultll6*ade to-day before Judge
Wylie, Who is holding Circuit Court
for a writ of quo warranto, but those
having the matter in charge desiring
to have every point maturely consid
ered, and papers arranged in such per
fect form that no exception could be
taken when the matter is brought be
fore the Courts, it was decided to de
fer the appropriation till early next
week. It may be presented Monday.
The course of proceeding will be as
follows :—Application will be made in
open Court for leave to filo an infor
mation in the nature of a quo warranto
This application, it is presumed, will
be granted, as a matter of course.—
Stanton will be served with a summons
to appear and answer. This he has
a mouth in which to do, but it is sup
posed ho will not avail himself of the
time allowed by law, but at once re
spond, when an early clay will be fix
ed for hearing the case.
The Republicans held a caucus to
night, Mr. Poland in the Chair: About
seventy members were present. The
only business was the selection of
managers, on the part of the House, to
conduct the impeachment proceedings
before the Senate. The following gem.
tlemen wore elected by ballot : Messrs
Stevens, of Pennsylvania, Butler of
Massachusetts, Bingham, of Ohio,
Boatmen, of Massachusetts, Wilson, of
lowa, Williams, of Pennsylvania and
Logan, of Illinois.
[Special despatch to the Pittsburg Conuneicial.]
WASIIINaTON, D. C., Feb. 29, 1868
The presentation of the articles of
impeachment to-day did not create
much excitement in Congr6ss. The
galleries of the louse were well filled
with spectators, most of whom retired
Nvlien the debate commenced. Tho
tenth charge of the articles, relating
to the alleged intent of the President
to induce Gen, Emory to violate the
law regarding the orders to bo issued
for troops, has olicited , moro interest
than any of the root, and the President
claims that he will have some evidence
to be heard on the other side in that
particular. A vote will be taken on.,
the articles on Monday at 4 p. m.
They Will be laid before the Senate on
Tuesday, and as soon as that body
agrees on its rules for the' high court
of impeachment, the first session of
the court will be held, and the Presi
dent will then be requested to put in
his appearance. As things now look,
the Executive will bo given two weeks
notice to prepare for his defense. Chas.
O'Connor, it is believed will be ono of
his counsel.
The taxation appears to be fully as
heavy in England as in the United
States. The statistics of local taxation
recently issued from the Homo Office
show that the sum borne by England
and Wales now amounts to the largo
figure of $91,835,000. This was the
expenditure of the latest year for
which the d6partment could obtain the
information, namely, 1860. This is
equivalent to a tax of 84-25 on each
man, woman, and child in the king
dom.
Mr. Joseph Metcalf, of Erie, will be
ninety-four years of age in August next,
if ho lives so long. Ho is now some
what feeble ; and will not probably.livo
many more years. Mr. Metcalf is said
to be the oldest Mason in the United
States, having joined the Order some
sixty-five years ago. He was carried
in his chair to the Masonic Hall, Erie,
on Tuesday evening, and enjoyed the
occasion in the highest degree.
Affairs 1n the Far West,
HARRISBURG, Feb. 27.—Ifort. A. K.
McClure, ex-Sena,ter of Pennsylvania,
who has just returned from the West
ern Territories, last night delivered an
address before the House of Represen
tatives, setting forth an animated de
scription of the far West. Mr. McClure
said that no part of the East is as fer
tile as the country is west of the Mis
souri river.
He has seen in the heart of the Roc
ky Mountains, four thousand foot above
the sea, long valleys extending over
three hundred miles, and prancing
the finest wheat crops in the world.
It would be policy to appoint school
masters to teach our legislators what
the West really is. No part of the
country between the Missouri river
and the Pacific, except on the tops of
the mountains, but what will grow
every product of Pennsylvania, except
corn, with greater ease than any in
our own States.
The first real settlement of the coun
try was duo to the Mormons, the mass
es of whom were ignorant, low for
eigners more degraded in their own
country than any of our native citi
zens, but who under the worldly wis
dom and wonderful ability of Brigham
Young, have reared homes of neatness,
surrounded with vines, flowers, and
fruits, and filled with contentment men
who believe their rulers to be of the
true Prophets of the fiord.
Thus ono hundred thousand people
exist in Utah more free, except on the
score of religion, than any community
of the same sizs in America, from vices
of drunkenness, s;searing, and immor
tality. in the whole Saii. bake City
there aro but two taverns. Every ward
has a bishop, nearly all of whom are
Americans The women are ignorant;
not ono in tom can road, and they are
taught that the only hope of happiness
is in heaven, and is through husbands.
This is only one Inducement to poly
gamy; but there are no happy wives
In Utah. A woman cannot leave her
home, without being watched with the
same care as is the criminal. To sum
up, nine tenths of the .'ioi•mons are ig
norant, earnest believers, and the re
inaining one-tenth are blasphemous
and licentious. Brigham Young posi
tively declared to the speaker, that
polygamy should not be abolished.
NO act of Congress could destroy it;
but the Pacific railway would throw
masses amon g them and work a cure.
They manufactured their own flour,
iron, cotton, and sugar. The difficul
ties of crossing the Rocky illountains
were often exaggerated. The speaker
had crossed them six times in four
months, and no single hundred miles
of the crossing was as difficult as the
line' between Harrisburg and Altoona.
The finest natural roads in America
were among these mountains. In win
ter, however, the snow was fifty feet
deep, and in last January the speaker
had walked upon it. How the rail
road would succeed in conquering this
difficulty In: did not know.
There was no town half the size of
Harrisburg in tho far West that did
not do ten times the business of that
place.
The mines of Utah, Montana, Neva
da, and Colorado were rich• beyond
comparison. In two years a man could
leave his Massachusetts home on Mon.
day and worship on the follbwing Sun
day in San Francisco. '

river, on the 19th, and the mail car

Tho hostile Sioux, encamped on the
Yellow Stone river, are cn leavoring
to induce the friendly tribes on the
Little Missouri and Big Knife rivers to
join them in the war on the whites.
They have offered them three hundred
horses to do so, and say if they persist
in refusing, they, will force them into
hostilities. Another letter from Fort
Berthold, dated January the 17th, says
that for two weeks previous, the se
verest snow storm bad prevailed in that
region known for ten years. At Fort
Stevenson, the troops have been obliged
to burn a warehouse and • all their
lumber to prevent them from freezing.
The cattle _and mules were literally
buried in snow, and a largo number
were frozen to death. Tho Indians in
the neighborhood of Berthold aro in a
starving condition, being obliged to
eat their horses to sustain life.
Tho losses by fire •in the United
States during January, caused by con
flagration, each destroying an amount
of property valued at $20,000 or over,
aro reported at $5,449,000 as compared
with $4,043,000 losses daring January,
1867. In January, 1868, the largest
fires were at eld'eago, and out of the
$5,449,000 losses , reprirted, $4.230,000
were in that City. During last month
there were no fires in either Now York
or Philadelphia of which the losses
were estimated at more than $20,000
in any one case.
