than folly to deny that those charges
birtre no foundation in truth. We can
not dinguiso facts as they exist among

of all theso defects in oar individual

of unanimity in our councils; nay, we
may pulliate our detections, by as
serting that our institution is but a

alike common to all human societies,

. the consciousness that every individ

Verres, the Protor of Sicily, prose
cuted by Cicero for his venality, once
boasted of what he could do with the
frails of his three years' occupation ot
office. "Those of the first, he de
clare, " would suffice to make bis own
fortune ; those of the second to re
ward his advocates and , partisans;
those of the last, and most abundant,
to secure the suffrages of his judges."
The lending impeacher of the Presi
dent has somewhat the advantago of
his Sicilian prototype, tor in one year
of bis pretorship iu Louisiana be ac
cumulated enough to . make him the
richest man in the country, and to
render all prosecution Useless by si
lencing the tribunals. , It manifests
the effrontery of tho man, und tho
rottenness of the cause he serves, that
he should have been enabled, foHtcring
with corruption as he is, to take tho
leading part in tho Presidential im
peach menf! His partisan and malig
nant harangue on Friday was in ev
eryway worthy of his name and rep
utation, and foreshadows the tone ana
temper with which be intends to con
duct tho prosecution. History does
not furnluli an' instance of a ffrtat
State trial where the managers of
the prosecution ever came into court
with, such characters as those who
are. now styled, tht MonorabU Mana

stain of the blood of an innocent
woman upon his soul; another is pub

a woman not of his own color for
years; a third only escaped an expo
sure of his corruptions in the House

doubling on bis pursuers; while a
fourth, on account of his outrages and
oppressions, . has won the title of
" Beast," that will cling to him like

that is known wherever the English

Cheap Consolation. The Radicals
rejoiced wonderfully over the fact
that Judge Black had withdrawn as
counsel for the President in the im.
peachment case. His withdrawal was
simply upon a point of professional ct
iquelto which be could not Conscien
tiously ignore. The personal rela
tions existing between him and the
President, are of the most friendly
and confidential character, and his
opinion is strengthened in the justice
of the position occupiod by tho Presi
dent, and of bis triumphal acquittal
from tho wicked and malicious char
ges alleged against him. , No just
man, who is not prejudiced by parti
zan association, or opinion can rea
sonably determine otherwise The
Kadioal press has endeavorod to make
it appear as though there was a diffi
culty botween Mr. Black and tho
President, but we know to the con
trary, and their wish is only fatbor
to the thought. The loyal chicken

Scmner S.n ubbkd. That cray narrow-minded,
unhappy wretch, Charles
Sumner, was most effectually snubbed
by Lis own friends in the Senate a
few days ago. Emerging from tbe
pile of manuscript and books from
which he compiles bis bombastic effu
sions, he offered a resolution, that
ponding the President's trial it was
improper for Congress to hold any
communication with him. Rut even
the desporate meu , who follow tho
lead of the great automaton dare not
follow him so far as this, and voted
down his resolution by a large major
ito, and the wretched fanatio sank
back among his documents rebuked
by his moot ardent supporters. This
action of the Senate indicates cleariy
that no attempt will be made to sus
pend the President during bis trial.

Chief JuHee Chute and the Im
prachmrnt. When, soveral weeks ago,it was an
nounced that Judge Chaso, in assum
ing his position in the " high Court
of Imneachmont " as presiding officer,
would decide and rule all legal points,
he was vehemently denouuood by the
Radical press and leaders, and and
boldly asserted that he duro not at
tempt, it.. The proceedings of the
Court on tho 20 ult. determined not
only this point, but effectually ex
ploded the ideas that tbe impoacb
ers had fondly entertained, that
they had the power to depose Andrew
Johnson in such manner as to thorn
might seem right and proper, without
relerenco to law or justice. . ';
Ohjoction being mado to certain ev
idence on the part of tho prosecution,
the Chief Justice ruled that it was ad
missible. - Drake, of Missouri, imme
diately arose and declared io a fierce
tone that tbe Senate, and not the
Chief Justice, bad the right to make
a decision. Judge Chase insisted that
it was his right, remarking
That the Ob iff JuitlM would iUte to tht Sen
ftta, that, 4111 hii judgment, it if hi duty to de
toide n quMtiutu of ovideooo in the fir it iiiituoe,
and if on beootor deiirol that th quogtlun llto.ll

do it. 60 for 11 hi U awiro, tbii ii tho uniform
oouroe of praotioe on triali of pononi impoacbed
iu tho Senate of tho VB'tod bin toe."
Drake appealed, and then Butler
rose, and in mighty wrath proceeded
to argue the question, contending that
it would put the managers to the dis
advantage of being compelled to ap
peal to tbe Senate, as a body, when
the ruling was Against them. Butler
wont on tointimato that ho had an
idea of what the Chief Justice's views
were, to which the Chiof Justice 'em
pbatically replied :
" The Chiir wilt Hot that under the rait of
the body he ii the presiding olfioer. lie ii .0 )n
rirtue of hli office under the I'onitilution. He it
Chief J notice or tho tutted gtaOM, and therefore,
whoa the Praetdeat to tried by the annate, it i
hii duty to preiide in that body, and, ae bo un
dentandi, he ii therefore tho President of the
Senate, lilting aa a Court of Impeachment. The
rale of the Senate l tee 7th rule."
This was a squelcher. Butler was
nonplussed. His hopes of making the
trial a mere party caucus was defeat
ed. He doclurcd the manager's hands
tied, and the whole programme over
turned. But "be wasn't going to
give it up so." Not him. He quoted
authorities, cited what he termed pre
cedents, and said and did a great ma
ny foolish things,' but the' Chief Jus
tice was inflexible. Then came an
other loud qaack from the Missouri
Drake. The Chief Justice determin
edly called Drake to ordor, and Drake
subsided., Conklin, Bingham, Bout
well, and Wilson, each in turn aired
their eloquonce and legal learning,
but tbe Chief Justice remained inflex
ible as ever; after which, on Wilson's
motion, the Senate retired for consul
tation, tho vote on the motion, a tie,
being 25 to 25. '.Tho Chief Justice
voting in the affirmative, the motion
carried, and the Senate retired, and
remained in socrct session for over
three hours; . during which period
Judge Chase occupied the floor sever
al times and the excitement at times
ran high ; but the Radical went under.
On tbe return of the Senate the Chief
Justice in ft quiet manner announced
that, after consultation, the Sonato
had directed him to report tho follow
ing rule :
" Rril 7. The presiding officer of tho Senate
ihall direct all aeoeiiary preparation! In the Sen
ate Chamber, and the presiding offiner of the Son
era oliall dtroet all the forms of proowodingi when
the tVnnte ii lilting for tho purpose of trying an
Impeachment, at.d all formi during tbe trial, not
otherwise ospooomlly provided fort and the presid.
ing oflV-er, un tho trial may rule ou all queattpot
ot evidence and on incidental questions, wulflh
decision will stand as the judgment of the Semite,
for decision 1 or ho may, at his option, in the AM
instance, submit any surh question to a vote of
tho members of tho Senate."
Butler and bis associates were ap
palled ; and quickly rising, the hsro
of Fort Firiher intimatoa that tho
managors desired to retire for consul
tation also. The Senate not deeming
the opinions of tho managers of much
account, adjourned, giving Butler,
Bingham, Boutwell ft Co. until noon
of the next day to repair the break in
their bulwarks, which this unexpected
tarn of events had made.
In the Senate consultation Mr. Sum
ner offered aa amondmont to Mr.
Henderson's proposition as follows :
"That tbe Chief Justice presiding hi the Sen.
ate, la tbe trial of tho President of tbe United
States, Is ant a member of the Senate, and has no
authority under tho Constitution to rota an any
question during tbe trial."
. This was rejected by the following

Mr. Drake moved an amendment
to Mr. Henderson's, proposition, as
follows 1
It lo tho judgment of thu Benato that, under
the Coastitution, the Chief Jastieo presiding over
the Senate ia tbe pending trial hai no privileire
,f ruling qaeotiouo of law arising thereto, and that
all such queMioai should bo submitted to and de

Mr. Sherman submitted the follow

These votes are very significant,
not only confirming the riiriit of vo
ting exeroiscd by Justice Chase, but
compelling the ulansgors to conduct
the trial upon striotly legal, aud not
upon more political grounds. Chiof
Justice Chaso has therefore the right
to decide all questions that may arise,
and if any member -of the Sonate
deems his decisions wrong, he can ap
peal, and call for the yeas and nays.
If tbe Senate determines otherwise
with them rests the responsibility.
This is right; let every "tub stand
