pretencelathatby a power vested in him by
the Constitution he has a right to do this
high-handed act. 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 ”

A* J« on the Situation*
(Wwhlncton Correapondtnce of the W. Y. Herald.}
Your correspondent had an interview with his
Sxeellency to-night after the state dinner, and
toned him not stricken with fear or tremMiug,
tmt mailing and radiant, in better humor and
spirits than for many, months. The President
-reeeived yonr correspondent alter-the usual-hour
for visitors, and granted him half an hour’s in
terview. After (he customary salutations your
correspondent remarked that the'country was
somewhat taken by surprise by the sudden re*
pio valor Stanton and tho appointment of Thomas
ns Secretary ad interim.
The President smiled and ingnbOd, “Well,
wbatdo the people say ? I suppose they are sur
prised; bat I have only done what I had deter
mined upon Jong eeo."
Correspondent—‘‘The removal, then, is not In
Surenance of a recent determination on yopr part,
lr. President?”
The President—“ Not at all, sir. The people
ehem to have mistaken my course altogether in
this mutter. I noter had but one determination
on tbe BubjecVbut -1 have acted carefully.prtt
dently and moderately. Perhaps Ihave been too
slow in removing Mr. Stanton, bnt not because I
feared foe bugoear of impeachment, or that . I
dreaded, anything that' Congress might do.
Nothing- that body poald attempt or cany ont
would intimidate or surprise me. I know they aro
capable of doing anything. I delayed final action
, solely to let the countrv see nnd understand the
position of Mr. Stanton. We drat Intimated to
him that wo would like him to withdraw from
dur privy council. He did not take the hint We
then requested him to resign. Ho refused. We
then snspended him, under the constitutional
power which we have to suspend, or remove a
member of our Cabinet. The act of suspension
- - not in-conUlct-wlfonhe'Tenure'ofO lllifi
hill, though wd did not .therefore recognize its
constitutionality. As a matter of courtesy we
, sen t reasons for our action to the deuato. That
body, protended not to consider those reasons
- sufficient, and assumed to reinstate Mr. Stonv-m
in office. Well, we atUI waited, hoping Mr.
! Stanton would see foe propriety of resigning
i himself. General Sherman and General Grant
| offered to go to Stanton and advlso him to resign.
Here is a letter which Indicates what they pro
posed:— \ ’ •
The President here allowed your correspondent
to read foe following letter to him from Genera!

TBIED EDITION;

.At aeonversattoßwithtbe General,'after our in*,
terview, wbareinT tdfered ia Kit' with hltn on
Monday morning: toirat Stauton.and say that it
■MSS our Joint opinlojsbe should resign, it was
found inrooiialble by, reason of hie going to Rich
mond mo nnr going to Annapolis. The General
propo#e4tM*;eowse:BevYill call on yon to

for the good ofthe service and of the conntry he
ought,fojfeslgp.: Thison Sunday. On Monday
I will ag»in;call on you, and if yon think it ne
cessary. I wlil do the same—call on Mr. Stanton
.< and trttibim be, should resign. If be will not,
fIW» will be time to contrive ulterior measures.
In Ihemeanttme. it sohappens that no necessity
egbtnjfor precipitating matters;
,Yours truly, W. T. Shebman,
■ ; Ueutenant-Gencral.
The President then continued, “After waiting
a reasonable time we- thought proper to-day to
order the removal of Mr. Stanton and to appoint
General, Thomas Secretary of War ad Interim.
.This is the whole story.’’
Correspondent—“ Was this stop discussed in
, the Cabinet Council, Mr. President ?”
The President—“No, sir, notprecisely. A ge
neral policy was agreed upon some tlrno ago,
and the removal to-day is in accordance there
with, I have just received a copy of the resolu
tion adopted by the Senate to-night in executive
session.” The President here read the resolution
: printed elsewhere.
I Correspondent—“ What will the Senate do,Mr.
President, undertbe resolution, if you still iusist
upon having General Thomas act as Secretary ad
■inttritnl" ’ ' -
The President—“l don't see that they con do
anything. The resolution itself Is theend of the
matter, so far as the Senate ia concerned, unless
the Honeopresents artlcleaof impeachment and
the Senate undertakes to try -the Executive and
resolves itself into a high court of Impeachment.”
Correspondent—"Do yon think Congress really
will attempt impeachment, Mr. President?”
• The President—"l don’t Know, indeed; nor do
I care. lt would make very little difference to
me.” ’■ '•••'■•’ ■' ' ■' 1
Yonr correspondent here asked what the Pre
sident would do in the event of the passage of
Mr. Edmnhds’s bill of suspension, to which the
President answered, substantially, “Sir, I would
not obey tbelaw if they attempted to suspend
me. The law Is elearly unconstitutional. There
is a point against it which you gentlemen of the
press stem to have altogether overlooked. The
oill of Senator Edmunds to suspend pending trial
would undoubtedly be an export/veto law so far
as my case would be concerned. Such a law Is
declared unconstitutional by the very language
of the constitution Itself. My offence, we will
suppose, is the removal of Mr. Stanton. That is
an accomplished fact. Any law prescribing a
penalty for that sot would be e~r port facto, and
therefore unconstitutional. How. therefore, can
Congress legally pass a bill of each a character.”
: .Your, correspondent remarked that certain rad
icals might argue that a' persistence in keeping
Mr. Stanton Out of office, after the Senate dccl ic
ing bis removal contrary to law, and after the
proposed passage of Mr. Edmunds’s suspension
bill, would be bringing the question out of the
operation of an ex port facto law.
The President replied that that could not alter
the caee, as the offence charged would still be the
removal of Mr. S’anton—-an act performed be
fore the passage of the proposed law.
In Teply to an inquiry as to whether the Pro si
dent had seen -General Thomas since the inter
view of the latter with Mr. Stanton the President
said yes, and proceeded to state what, according
to his information, had occurred at that rati r
view. "General Thomas,” he eaid, -'waitedTipou
Mr. 8 tan ton, and showed to him the President's
order removing Mr. Stanton, and appointing
him (General Thomas) as Secretary of War ad
interim. Mr. Stanton read the order, and asked
Thomas whether he would be obliged to vacate
the office forthwith. Thomas said his instruc
tions were to assume control immediately,
ton theD said he would like to have time to ar
rangeand take away ills papers and documents;
to which Thomas replied that a considerable time
would Ire allowed for such purpose. No time,
however, was fixed for Mr. Stanton to finish his
arrangements.”
Yonrcorrespondenthad some further conver
sation with the President, but the chief points
have been given. The President repeatedly ex
pressed his utter indifference as to what course"
Congress might adopt on theimpeachment ques
tion; and in answer to a parting remarit-of your
correspondent that the President might sleep
soundly in spite of the threatened impeachment
he said, laughing, *‘l dou’t think my slumbers
will be much disturbed bv that fear, I shall el.eep
soundly apd awakencfreslied."

FBOM WILKESBARRE.
The Condition of Bishop Stevens.
Washington, February 22d.—After General
Thomas was released from custody to-day lie
went to the War Office and made a peremptory
demand on Mr. Stanton to turn over the War
Office at once to him, and threatened, unless this
was done, that he would resort to military force
to obtain possession of the office.
Mr. Stanton, in very decided terms, declined
to comply with- Thomas’s request, and gave
him orders to * leave the War De
partment building at once, which was
complied with, threatened that he
would have possession before night.
This last move on tbo part of Thomas has only
increased the excitement in the Capital.
Washington, February 22.—Much excitement
was occasioned throughout- the city this morn
ing, owing to the arrest of General Lorenzo
Thomas on affidavit by Secretary Stanton. At
seven o'clock General Pile delivered to D. S.
Gooding, Marshal of the District of Columbia,
the following warrant:
