House
We publish in full, below, the
speech of lion. Thaddeus Stevens, in
the Heine of Representatives, on the
resolution to impeach the President
Mr. STEVENS (Rep., Penn.) closed
the debate. He said : I agree with
those gentlemen who have gone be
fore me, that this is a grave subject
and should be gravely treated. It is
important - to the high official who is
the subject of these charges, and it
is important to a nation of forty mil
lions of:people now free, and rapidly
inereasul to tundreds of millions.
The official -character of the lfidef
Executive of,this grand nation being
thus involved, the charge, if falsely ,
made is a cruel wrong. If, on the
other- hand, the Misdemeanors and
usurpations charged against him are
true, he iis guilty of as atrocious at.
tempts to usurp the liberty_ and de- ',
stroy the happiness of this nation, no
were ever perpetrated by_ themost ,
detestable tyrant wile ever opposed
his fellow men.- Let us, therefore,
discuss'these questions in no parthian
9irit, but with legal'accuracy - and
impartial.ustice. The people desire
no victim, and they will endure no
usurper. The charges, so far as I
shall discuss them, are few -mid dis
tinct. ' Andrew Johnson is charged
with attempting to usurp the powers
of - Cither branches of the government ;
with attempting to obstruct' ind rek
sist the execution of the law with
misprisiOn of bribery, and in the open
- violation of s laws, which declare his
acts misdemeanor, and subject him.
tome and - amprisonment, and- with
removing from office the Secretary of
War during Ihe session of the Sen. •
ate, without the advice or consent of
the Senate, and with the violation of
the 6th 'section of the act ; entitled an
act regulating the tenure of certain
civil offices. There are other offenses
charged in the papers referred to the
committee, which I may consider by
'themselves. In order to sustain im
peachment under our . Constitution, I
do not hold that it is necessary to
prove that a- crime is an indictable
effense.' I agree with the distinguish
ed gentleman from PennsAieniabn
the otheriside of the House,who holds
this to be a purely political proceed
ing. It ii intended , for a remedy or
malfeasiece in office,- and to prevent
the continuance thereof. Beyond that
it is not intended as a personal pun
ishment for past offenses,or for future
example..l lmpeat4unent under our Consiitu
tionis very differentirom impeach
ment under the English law. The
framere of our Constitntion did not
rely ' for Safety upon .the, avenging
dagger efßnitus,but provided peace
ful remeffies- which should prevent
that naity.. England had-. two
systems jofJunspdenw ; one tor
the trial in& punishment of common
offendersjaanne for the trial of amn
ia highest ststions,whom it was found
difficuleth convict beibre the ordinary
tribunal This latter -proceeding
was by inmpeachment, "of by bills .of
attainder" 'generally practiced to
punish malefactors.- But the system,
soon degenerated into political and
personal prosecution, and men 'were
tried, condemned and executed by
this Court from malignant motives.
Such wee the, oondition of the Hag
fish Isles Ischen our. Constitution was
framed,, iiird the Convention determin
ed toprcvide against the abuse of
that high 'power, so that revenge
pueishment should not be inflicted on
political or personal enemies.. Hence

meat and removal from office. The
offensmbeing indictable does not pre-
Vent impeachnient, but is not neces
nary to sustain it. (Seelitates Com:
mentaries on the Constitution, Madi
son and others.) - Such is tire opinion
of our elementary writers. Nor can
any case of impeachment tried in this
country be Mind where any attempt
was made to prove the offense mind
nal and indictable. ' .
What, then are the official; ruled°.
°issuers of .Andrew Johnson disclosed
=
evidence f On the 2d day of .
1887, COMMIS passed an act
entitled "An act regulating the tenure
of certain Civil (Offices."' Among
other provisions it enacted that . So'
officer who had been appointed by
and with the advice 'and ' consent of
the Senate should be removed from
office without thesonsent of the 4 i3en.
ate, and thatif, during vacation, a
suspension should be made-for cause,
such cause should be reported to the
Senate within twenty days after their
neat meeting. If the Senate should
deem the reason of the suspension:
sufficient, then the officer should be '
removed and another appointed -in
his stead. But if the Senate should
refuse to concur with the President
and declare the reasons insufficient,
then the officer suspended 'should
forthwith resumelthe functions of his
office, and the powers of the person
performing its duties should 'cease.
It is especially provided that the
Secretary of War sell hold his office
during the term of the President by
whom he may have been appointed,
and for one month thereafter, unless
'removed by and with the consent of
the Senate as aforesaid.. On the 12th
of August, 1887, during the recess of
the Senate, the President removed
the Secretary of War, whese term of
.office had not expireA 'requiring him
to surrender the 0i114x), , with.the pub.
lie property, and app ointed Gen. U.
S. Grant, Secretary of War, ad inter
im. When Andrew Johalon ammo'
the office of President, he took the
oath to obey the Constitution of the
United States, and to take 'careihat
the - laws should be faithfully, execu
ted. Nor can be plead exemption
from it en-account of his condition at
the time when it was administered
to him. An attempt to obstruct the
executionnf the law,not at mere omis
sion amounting to negligence, which
would have been a misdemeanor, but
a daring and bold ;conspiracy was
attempted by him to induce the Gen
eral of the Army to aid him in defeat
ing - the operation of the law, and
when he had suspended' the Secretary
of War he appointed Gen. Grant Sec
retary ad interim 'With the avowed
purtiose of preventing the operation
of that law, if the Senate should de
cide in favor of the Secretary ; and
he says the General did enter into
suclin conspiracy to , aid him in ob
structing' the return of the rejected
Secretary, not Withstanding theS n
ate might decide in his favor. Ti
is
,is denied by the General, and a qu s•
Lion of,veracity, rather angrily dis
cussed, has arisen between them,and
the gentlemen seem to consider that
the question is one of importance to
the public. In this they are mista
ken. Which is the man of truth and
which is the man of falsehood is of
no more puhlic importance than if the
dispute had occurred, between two
'obscure individuals. If 'Andrew
Johnson tells, the trutii, :. then he is
guilty of a high official misdemeanor,
for he shows his attempt to prevent
the-execution of - the laws. If the •
General Coruinanding tells the truth,
tfTn the President is guilty of i high
misdemeanor,for Gen. Grant declares
the same thing of the President,deny
leg only his own complicity No
argument can (bake ibis point plainer
than the statement of the culprit.—
If he and the General told the truth,
then he Committed Willful perjury by
refusing to take care that the laws
should
.be duly executed.
Td - show the animas and guilty
knowledge with which this law was
violated, we have onlrto turn to the
proceedings of the Senate, warning
him of his illegal and void conduct,
and then to consider that' he has
since persevered in attempting to en
force his illegal acts. Indeed, to
show his utter disregard of the laws ,
of his country, we have 'only . to turn
I to his last annual message in which ,
he proclaimed to the Public that the
laws 'of Congress were unconstitu- i
th nal and not binding on the people.
Who, after that, can - say 'that such a
man is \fit to occupy 'the = Executive
()hair, whose 'duty it is to vindicate ,
()bedew* to and see that those very
laws are obeyed f I Then the great
beauty of the remedial and preventitre

We shalt propose to prove on the trial
that Andrew Jolurn was guilt f
misprison of bribery, by offering to
General Grant if be would unite with
him in his lawless violence,to assume
in his stead the penalties and to !en=
duce the imprisonment prescribed lby
the laws. Bribery is one of the I of
fences specially.enumerated for which
the President may be impeached lied
i
removed from office. , By the Oons i-,
tution, Article 8•, Section 51,tfie PO i
dent has power to nominate, and, i y
and with the, advice and consent of
the Senate, to appoint all officers'bf
the United - States, whose appoint
ments are not therein otheninse pro
vide& for, and which shall be -estab
lished by • law, and to file up all va-
I cancies by. granting commissions
which shall expire at the end of their
next session.
Nowhere,either in the Constitution,
or by statute, has the President pow
er to create a vacancy during the ses
sion of the Senate, and fill it without
the' advice and-consent4d thellenate;
and yet, on the 21 -- afaay of Februtry,.
1868,while the Senate was in session,
he gave notice to the head of the War
Department that hi had been removed
from the office and that his sucessor,
ad interim, had been appointed. Here
ie al plain recorded violation of the
Constintion, and the laws, which,it it
stood alone,would make every honest
and intelligent man give his vote for
impeachment. The President has'
preserved in his lawless course
a long series of'unjastifiable through
•
acts. .
When -the 80-called' Confederate
Staten of America were 'conqured,and
'had laid down their arms, awl sur
rendered their territory to the victori
ous Union. the govenrinent and, final
disposition of the conquered country
belonged to Congress alone,according
to every principle of the law of na
tions. Neither the Executive nor the
Judiciary had any right to interfire
with it,-except so far as was necessary
to cphtrol it by military ride, until
the sovereign power of the nation has
provided its civil adMinistration. No
power but Congress has any right to
say whether ever, or when they .
should be admitted to the - Union as
States and entitled to the.priviliges
of the Constitution of the United Sta.
tee, and yet Andrew Johnson, with
unblushing hardihood, undertook to
rule them by his own power alone, to
lead them into fall communion with
the Union, direct them what govern
ments to enact, and what constitu
tions to adopt, and to send Represen
tatives to Congress according to his
instrotions. When admonished by
express act of Congress, more than ,
once repeated, he disregarded the
warning and continued, his lawless
assumption. He is. since known to
have obstructed the re-establishment
of these'governments by the autherity
of Oonqess and has advised the in
habitant; to resist the legislation of
Congress' In my judgment his con
duct with regard to that trausaction
was a high-handed usurpation of
power which long ago ought to have
brought him to impeachment and tri
al and to have removed him from his
position of great mischief. He has
been lucky in thus far escaping
through false logic and false law,but
his then acts, which •will on the trial
be shown to be atrocious are open
evidence of his wicked determination
to subvert ,the laws of his country.
I trust that when we come to vote
upon this question we shall remember
that, although it is. the duty of the
President to see that the laws be ex
ecuted, the sovereign power of the
nation rests on Congress, who have
been placed around the Executive as
muniments to defend his rights,and ad
watchmen, to enforce his obedience
to the laws and the Constitution. His
oath is to obey: the Constitution, and
our duty is to compel him to do it—all
a tremendoim obligatiOn,heavier than
was ever assumed by mortal rulers.
;
We are to protect or destroy the
liberty and happiness of a mighty
people; and to take care that they
progress, in civilization and defend
themselves against every kind of
tyranny. As we deal with the first
great political malefactoi, so will be
the result of our efforts to perpetuate
the happiness and good ,government
of the human race. The God of our
latheie, who inspired them with the
thought, of universal freedom, will
hold tu34esponsible for the noble in
stitution which they projected, and
expected us to carry out. , This is not
to be the 'temporary triumph of a po-
Utical party, but hrto endure in its
consequences until this whole,conti ,
wet shall be filled with a free, , un
trammeled people, or shall be a nest
of &gin' kiog, cowardly:slaves.

. • February 1, la&
A few days ago Bascom, come into
the offis, where I was bizzy attendin
to him& uv - the Yoonitid Stales uv
Amenicy. a amokia a. cigar and drink
in - bot-punch oat -uv • tin dipper in
wich I compound the article, and re-
Markt that he thought it wuz about
time the corners spoke.
"Onto wat pertikiler subject wood
ye° hey the Corners speak, my cher
ub I" fled I ; " the Corners hez exer
cised her throat onto almost every
thing' up to date."
"Trop," sad G. W. "'but there's
one subject onto which the Corners
hez'nt fled her, say, namely, the crusb
in orate tazashen, and the peti
tion UV: papa the bonds in green
belt."
That's probably beooz, remarkt
thellorners pays' nary tax ; and bp
coz, also, not hevin. any bonds nor
any greenbax,ehe don't care,to epeek
after the manners nv men, a d--4
aboht it. Isn't that the case ?
"Probably it is, but at the same
time, we ought to extend a helpin
hand to our brethren Noith, who are
makin a galyent fite on this thing.—
Parson, we must hold "a meetin on
this question, and resolve."
Willin to accommodate Bascom, I
called the meetin, and: last nits it
took place. It wuz an enthooeiaatio
gatbrut, ez the meetuut at the Cor ,
nen, wich I report, allnz are. Skase
ly hed the horn tooted afore the
church wuz filled ; cnrioaty brot em.
None uv em but Bascom, Capt. Mc.
Pelter and myself, knowd wat a bond
wuz, and they wantid to find out. _ I

lifeblood wuz a being sucked , ont tiv
em by the bond aristocrats nv the
country.
At this pint Joe Bigler, who wuz
uv course in the aujence, commenet
weepin perfoosly, bat diegttatinly
loud. He fairly bellered and display
ed altogether too much emoshun
Mr. Bigler, sed I, woodent a little
less violent sorrer anser ?
Parson 1 sed he ' never hevin paid
a cussed cent uv taxes in my life, I
never knowd afore, how much I.wuz
being oppressed. But contane
myself if I kin. ill cork up my woes
•
if they bust me.
I then went on to explain the Pen
dleton ijee. First, the Governmen
owes about four hundred thousand
millions nv dollars, more or less,wich
it borrowed. The Aboliahin ijee is
to pay off ez fast as it falls due, in
gold,and in the meantime to pay in
terest! onto the fiends ez per agree
ment on the face nv em., But this
is oppressive: This paying interest
is wat's eatin us up. Therefore Pen
dleton proposes to pay These bonds
by ishooin for hundred thousand mill
ion uv greenbaxs: When these green
backs wear out so they ain't passa
ble no more--so that Basco& wont
take em for drinks, for instance,—
why, then we'll print more greenbaxs
and give em new ones. I don't see
that the debt is paid off any, but we
git out .of the intrest. We ishoo a
non bearin intrest note with the
greefibax isn't, for an intrest bearin
note with the present bond is, and
compel the bondholders to take em,
thus rooin us, the tax payers, by the
weight uv taxashen we are now com
pelled‘to carry. This ijee is not how
ever original with Pendleton. He's
bin sateelin my thunder.' I bed sub:
abated many yeers in Noo Jersy and
elsewhere by the same expedient.—
Whenever I owed a man I gave him
my note and felt a great load wuz off
my mind. When it became 'duo, ef
it made the creditor eny easier in hie
mind,l took it np by givin him anoth
er and so on, pervided he wuz willin
and bed faith enuff to pay for the
stamps. It wuz an easy and simple
method uv gitton on in the world,
Without enpleasantnis
Capt. McPelter, late uv the Confed
rit army,Wantid to know ef the green
badk wuz good ,enuff for the sojer, ef
it wuzn't good enuff for the , bond
holder ?
Beacom endorsed all that bed, bin
sed,and demazdid resolooshens,meov
in ones, with he presentid, and they
wuz passed.
At this pint occurred suthin wich
wuzn't down in the bills. Skasely
hed - the resoloosbens passed, when
,Joe Bigler stepped forard and re
markt that he hed votid fcir them
resolooshens becez he believed in em.
But be wantid the ijee carried forerd
to its logical conclooshen.
He owed Bascom eighty odd dal
tars= Wish= miss bearin -interest, and
bed bin fbr some time, and' wood,
psiqbably, for some time to came.
Now, what is jostle in governmental
matters, is ekally so in privet life, He
demanded ay Bascom that note, and
that he accept in its stead one. which
bore no interest. He bed boree,this
burden too lotig,andit wuz high time
that he be releeied.
Deakin Pogranr felt that he must,
agree with Mr. - Bigler. Bascom held
his note for ROO, with hed bin run
nin on interest for a long , time, and
he felt, that hi coodn't stand it no—

THE SUEZ CANAL:
This canal connecting the Mediter
ranean and the Red Seas, is 260 feet
broad, and the largest ship canal to
be found elsewhere is said to be be- ,
tween Rotterdam and the Hague,
which in one place is 130- feet in
breadth. The - Sriez Canal is to be of
almost exactly the same dimensiOns
throughout its entire length; from
Suez in the . Red Sea to Port Said in
the Mediterranean. In • some places
the water at its surface will be as
much as 268 feet in breadth, which
will be in order to allow a more hori
zontal slope to be given to•the banks
under water, where the nature of the
'ground renders this advisable.—
Throughout -i the entire distance . - the
ividth at the bottom will be, in round
numbers, 54 feet. • The depth is to
26 feet. One of the - Pnninsular ani
Oriental steamers,or Messageris
Imperiales, is unerstood to• draw,
when heavily laden, 25 feet ; there
would be sufficient to enable her to'
perform the voyage from ilea to sea.
But, of conrse,it could easily : be man
aged,that ships should not be freight
ed .to the utmost`while in the panel.
A little care in the disposition of bal
last, stores; and coals would suffice
to insure this. Iron-clad steam frig
ates, with their guns and stores on
board, could pass through the Canal
as easily as 'the Messageries Irciper;-
ales.
A communication betweeu the seas
is now established for floating barges;
but a great amount of labor is still re.
("hired to excaviate the canal t0_16..
depth of twenty-five, feet - necessary
for carrynig large ships.
Of the modes of operation rendered
imperitive by he withdrawal otcom..
pnlsory labor, the moat remarkable
.is the excavation, by machinery, as
performed by a dredging machine, fit
ted - rip with a spout 150 feet long.-

on which this apparatus is wonted wa
ter is mixed. with the `earth brought
up by the •dredge, and the semi-fluid
mass is discharged through this long
pipe on whatever spot may be selec
ted. Banks are thus formed with the
inclination deemed most advisible,for
the semi-fluid mass dries -by degrees,
and more or less can be thrown on
any place, as appears best.
The workmen,skilled and unkailled,
consist of persons from a vas" variety
of nations ; . there are said to bitamong
them indincluals from almon every
country Europe, except England:

The communities formed by these
workmen are well conducted and or

great measure, from their being well
and regularly paid, and . from their
having places for worship provided,.
