THE OLD LAWYER'S DESK,
DIARY KYLE DALLAS
Several years ago it tvas my fate to
reside, for a few months during the
spring and summer, in the uninter
esting little town . of B ; New
Jersey. never shall fdrget' the
sleepy quiet of the spot; nor the stu
pid solemnity of its inhabitants. The
houses, all alike, and Unshaded by, tree
or shrub, stood in formal rows, like a
line of dominoes after a recently fin
ished game. The sun beat down up
on them all _day long, and seemed ,to
have peeled-the skin off the staring
red roofs, so raw and glowing did
they appear. In every garden lines
of wet linen were perpetually hang
ing
out to dry, and every parlor win
dow
was perpetually closed. Walk-.!
ing through the streets, morning or
afternoon, stranger's general im
pression Would have been that every
housekeeper in the place bad just fin
ished her washing and was laying
down to take a nap:• The only build
ings of importance in the place were
the school-house and the meeting
house, and the only amusements not
considered sinful were scandal and
donation parties and sewing societies.
The house we inhabited was large
and old-fashioned. Its last tenant
had been, it was said, a lawyer; a
grave-stone in . the churchyard near
by bore his name, and up in an unu
sed room on. the upper floor stood an
old desk, which was said to have been
his property. One day when the
town seemed sleepier than usual, and
I was doomed to several hours of lone.
liness, ascended to the apartment
where this ancient article of fiarni
ture was placed, and began listlessly
to gaze from the window which over
looked the whole place, and even a
distant farm-house or two. There
being no seat in the room, I perched
myself upon the desk which I have
mentioned, and, to prevent myself
from slipping off, rested my hand up
on a little moulding which ornament
ed the back. .1 had not remained- in
this position many moments, when a
sharp,pain Caused me to start sud
denly, and, looking down to examine
the cause, I observed a little .spring,
half-hidden by the carving which'sur
rounded it. I had seen a spring like
thil3 before, and, knowing whatitpur
ported; I. eagerly pressed it with my
finger, and opened by its aid a little
secret drawer, of the existence of
which. I had never. before bad the
slightest suspicion. In this drawer
were several papers and a small kid
bag. The latter , I opened immedi
ately, and found it contained the Min
iature of a female and a lock'of curly
hair.
With my curiosity aroused, I seized
my treasure, and, running down to

who was at that time absent: on a

confidence of a child, and would run
joyously to tell us of the receipt of a

THE PRESIDENTIAL PROTEST
T!r. Buchanan's Protest Agaidet the Action of
the Covode Committee.
rfi. the Rouse of Representatives:
rn, my message to the House of Itenrosentatires .
of the 28th of March last I solemnly protested
against the creation of a Committee, at the hoed
of which was placed my accuser, for the purpose
of investigating whether the Prtsi , leut had "by
money. patronage, or other improper means sough t
to influence tho action of Congress, or any Com
mitt= thereof f for ur against the passage of any
law appertaining to the rights of any State or Ter -
ritery." I protested against this because it was
destitude of any specification, ht.:cause it referred
to no particular act to enable the - President to
prepare for his defence, because it deprived him
of the constitutional guards which, in common
with orery, citizen of the United States, he pas;
sesses fair his protection, and because it assailed
his constitutional independence as a co ordinate
branch of the Government.
There is an enlightened justice as well as a beau
tiful symmetry in every pat of the Constitution.
This is conspicuouly manifested in regard to im
peachments. The lieu se of ltepfesenuttives Pos
sesses "the sole power of idepeachrtientrtire devi
ate "the sole power wiry all impeachments "and
the impeachable offences are " treason, bribory,or
other high crimes or misdemeanors" The practice
of the House from the earliest times had been in
accordance with its own dignity, the rights of
the accused, and the detnands'of justice. - At the
eommeneement Of each judicial investigation
which might lead to an impeachment, specifici
charges were always preferred, the accused had on
opportunity of crosemxamining the witnesses, and
he was placed in full possession of the precise na
ture of the offence, which be had to meet. Ae
impartial and elevated stand.ng Committee was
charged with this investightt6n, upon whichnd
member inspired with the ancient sense of honor
and justice- would lieve,served, iptik Ae..uxgr
pressed an opinion against the accused. Unt it
the present occasion it was never deemed proper
to transform the accuser into the judge, and to
confer upon him tiro selection of his own coliamit ,
tee.
The charges made against me, in vague snd gen
oral terins,were of such 'efalse and atrocious chili.:
actor that I did not entertain a moment's apprd:
hension for the result. They,were abhorrent

Bare it ; poteible that thernap , existed who would
so basely perjure himself as tO the.truth, of any
such accusations, In this codviction, I,em in

In my former protest; therefore, truly-and

committee had nut tranecended thisau thority Con
ferred upon it by the resolution of the House of
Representatives, broad and ieneralms this was.l
should have tin:Mined silent upon this subjeet.-4.
What I now charge is, that they have need .as
though they poe.sessed unlimited p , wer, and with.:
out any warrant whatever in the resolution um.
der Which they were appointed, have pursued d
course nutmerely at war with the constitutional
rights of the, executive, but tending to, degrade
the Presidential office itself to such tt degree as
to render it unworthy 'of the acceptance of any
man of honor or principle..
The resolution of, the House,.sd far ria it is tie;

means to influence the action- of Congress,or any
of its committees, or legislative measures pend

I have not learned through the newspapers, or in
any other mode, that the committee have touched
the other accusatory branch of the resolutions
charging the President with a Violation of duty
in failing to execute some law or laws. This
branch of the resolution is, therefere, out of the
question. By what authority the commit.
