Ho holds .the law which stands iri-his way to he unconstitutional, and, heyefore, he disregards and defies it. But who made Andrew Johnson the judge of the country’s laws? When was he clothed with the right to pick and choose from the statute book that which he will obey and that which he will disobey? When did this people agree that Andrew Johnson, or any other merely executive officer, should assume this political omnipotence, and hold himself superior to any unrepealed law? When he vetoed the law which he yesterday defied, his power over that law gas- exhausted. From the moment that Congress passed that hill over his veto he was as much bound by Its provisions as any private citizen is by any undisputed law. Andrew Johnson has hhosonu to throw down his gauntlet to the people of the United States, and their chosen vepresentativea at Washington have promptly taken It up. , At this time of writing it is impossible to aay what is to he the precise course of events. But it is plain that Congress is equal to its grave rraponsibility, and it is equally plain that, as in the past, bo now, the people will he grand on the Side of their own laws and against (despotism-and usurpation. There seems'to' he hut little doubt that this mad President has at last brought himself fully within the range of impeachment, and the country should rejoice that he has done so. He has elected between a clearly expressed law of the land and his private interpretation of the Constitution, and he must take the consequences. When he is arraigned at the bar ol' the Senate, he can plead his private notions of hie constitutional. powers and of the validity of the law" which he has broken, and it will be for the Senate to vindicate its own decrees, and teach this Executive madman that there is' no one fn this land whom the law, in its supreme majesly, cannot reach. The well known fac lhat Johnson, like most men of his mora build, is essentially & coward, leads some persons to suppose that because he has taken this monstrous step .he must have been sat isfied that the law cannot reach him. Bat it in no new thing for a bad man, encouraged by pnp» inminnHy from punishment, to go blundering over the boundary line at last, and meet the fate which hehaslong deserved. As for his tool, General Lorenzo Thomas, there need be but little said. The law pro vides especially for his case, and,as we write, he is already at the bar of the District Court, to answer for his foolish servility. The sec tion of the Tenure of Office law which meets his case is a very clear one, mid Secretary Stanton has promptly brought it to bear upon him. We have no fear of the result of this mad coiudnct of President Johnson. The country has passed safely through worse crises than this, and if thedoi|j|j of yesterday' and to* day serve to rid the nation of the bad man who has stood so long as a disgrace to the American name, and ajpr to peace and pros perity, the country may well "thank Godand take coinage.” jnMWD IJEIXAN AM> fHE ENGLISH •The announcement of the resignation of Mr. Charles F. Adams, our minister at the Court of Bt. James, waß received by the loyal-people of-this country with deep .mg'"* It had fallen to his lot to fill this most impor tant position during a period when dinaiy circumstances made it particularly trying, and demanded the m,QBt careful tact and the nicest judgment that the peaceful re lations of the two countries might be pres erved. The vast multitude of questions which presented themselves for solution during the war; the controversy upon the subject of the Alabama claims after fbat time, combined with the bitter leding against England which existed in this country in consequence of her illiberal; and ungenerous conduct during the days of ou£lrl,Bclatibn, gave the English mission an jtopoiifljMse that. it ban rarely if .indeed ever mission. where the avea am. eiiizenß, the probabilities of peace and war and the disposition of claims for millions o‘ dollars, depend upon his discreet action; . It may be urged that it is unjust to assert that McClellan is. not competent to fill a diplomatic position until he has tried and failed. But if we had no evidence of his general incapacity, it would be sufficientthat he has never been put to the test. This is no time to try experiments; we must have in that position a man whose ability is known; kman in whom the nation has confidence, and whose past conduct will be a guarantee of his future action. Moreover, McClellan is not in any sense a representative American, and is therefore un fit for this office. Oflended at the perverse refusal of his countrymen to recogniz j his supposed merit, he voluntarily expatriated himself, and for three years has had no part or lot in the stirring events which have oc curred during that time. But prior to his de parture his conduct was not such as to re commend him to the confidence of the Ame rican people. He deliberately identified him self with the disunion party, and took counsel with the men who were the bitter opponents of the very war which he waged so ineffectually against the rebellion; he was the representative man of a faction whose treasonable principles were repudiated j by the American people; he was the political opponent ot the man who was honored and beloved by that people as no other American has been since Washington; he waß the friend and supporter and earnest advocate of Judge Woodward, who openly announced his be lief in the righteousness of the doctrine of se cession; and he was the friend of the men who are to-day supporting Andrew Johnson, and striving to effect the iniquitous purpose which was defeated by the armies of the •United States. WASHIMiIOA’IBiaHE.OAI'. As we measure most thiuga by the stand ards of comparison, so the Chirac ter of Vieorge Washington never loomed up more grandly than upon this 136th anniversary of his birthday. George Washington and An. drew Johnson! “Hyperion to a Satyr!’ How the grandeur of the character of the one dwarfs that of his apostate successor, who mingles malignity with incomprehensible madneßS, and who, upon this birth-day of the father of his country, would plunge the country into a revolution more terrible than that through which Washington safely guided the ship oi State. The American peo ple regard with special reverence the memory of Washington on the recurrence of his birth day in 1868. ...... r BREVET GENERALS. One of the subordinate indications of the insane condition of the President is his run ning round -with brevet-generalships in search of some army officer foolish enough to accept them. Congress created a grade for General Grant, which he alone ifl to enjoy. Whenit becomes! vacant, it ceases to exist The promotion of other officers to the same rank by brevet is a palpable absurdity. Mr. Join son might aB well create a Brevet Field- Marshal as a Brevet-General, and General Sherman was quite bright enough not to ! compromise himself by accepting such a ridiculous position. Mr. Johnson pretended that he desired to confer a special honor on General Sherman, but as he has now offered it to General Geo. H. Thomas, it is clear that the whole thing is a mere piece of petty and impotent spite against General Grant. Gen eral George H. 'Thomas will refuse the hollow honor, for he is a very different sort of man from the Lorenzo of the same name who has just immortalized tire pliant tool of our insane President, and of whom the prophetic Young exclaimed: “ Can parts or place (two bold pretenders) make Lorenzo great, and pluck him from the throng f ” - mnUins,Dnrborow Ac Co,.
