EVENING BULLETIN. «. BMtdA7, Fetruary 24, 1868. TifS;•' jpitESliNßinr’s bebehion. PrtigHletat Johnson’s act of overt rebellion has IWQen like a thunder dap among aad< foes alike. His friends,—if ha has friends,— are amazed, disgusted and per picked With his suicidal folly. His oppo nents,—the American people,—are equally astonished at the suddenness with Which An drew Johnson has' precipitated the crisis which is to terminate the quarrel which lie inaugurated, two years ago; which has ar rested reconstruction; which has kept the country in anxiety, distress and restlessness ; brougfit more discredit upon re publican institutions than all the bad deeds •f all the bad men who have ever moved wpoh the stage of American politics. But suddenly as this crisis has come upon the country, it finds the country .ready to meet if.) The stem discipline of the war has not been loßtupon the American people, and the nation that moved serenely forward upon xtß course when- Abraham Lincoln was mur dered, meets the Budden emergency of his oHCcejßsbr’s< mad : rebellion unaffrighted and ' unhesitating in tjie path of high and solemn dntr. t :Vi ■■■': . Excitement, inteirser than we have known jfinee the fetal Uth of April, three years ago,prevails all over the country; but no fear. The differing shades of opinion among the «mk and file of the great loyal party of the country all vanished on Saturday last as by magic. That strange crystallizing of minds | and hearts into one grand purpose which amazed the world when the first rebel gun was fired at Sumter, is seen again to-day, and Andrew Johnson already knows that Ms doom is sealed. Before r thb. end of the pmsent week BeDjamto Wade will, in'all human probability,be President of the United States, arid Andrew Johnson will be await ing, if not undergoing, his trial for those high crimes and mißdemeanprs in which he has encouraged himself by the forbearing patience of the people and their representa tives. . s There are various' erroneous notions afloat In the community connected with the im peachment of the President, arising from a •want of knowledge and awant of reflection on affront to the memory of Washington, and the part of the people. One is that the success the Republican party has departed from of this impeachment depends upon the question teachings of the founders of the repub . _ „„„ lie. vAt five oclock this afternoon a of the constitutionality of the Tenure of Of- Y£>fe on regolation ficefow. This is not the feet The Su 0 f impeachment of Andrew Johnson, one of preme Court might declare that lawduvalld the most important public measures that has to-morrow, or Congress might repeal it been acted upon since' the eclaration of In to-day and Andrew Johnson’s crime would dependence, the passage of the ordinance of stand precisely as it does now. It was secession or the publication of the Emancipa againet a law legally enacted, a law which he tion Proclamation If Mr Holman . , . . . , thmk proper to send up St. Paul s Epistles to has .already, recognized and acted under, a Corinthians, and desire to have them read law which has neither been repealed nor de- just atthe moment that this important vote is •lared unconstitutional, that he wilfully about to be taken, and if Mr. Colfax should Binned, His right thus to sin is no greater decide it to be out of order, wemay look for a and no less than that of the meanest beggar Wholesale denunciation of the Republican in the land, and he transgresses the law with party as unchristian as well as unpatriotic, all the liabilities which follow such trans- j gressions. . . , Another mistake is to suppose that the trial . «f Johnson may be protracted to a weari- i some length by the tactics of clever counsel) and'the-necessity of voluminous testimony: Thiß is not at ail probable. The. country at large feels that there can be no peace until Andrew Johnson is finally disposed of, and as the Senate will be the judge and framer of Its own ndes, it will see to it that precious time is not needlessly wasfed in long-winded arguments, vexations delayß and technical subterfuges. If the articles of impeachment are based simply upon the President’s last overt act of rebellion there can be no need for prolonging the trial beyond the limit of a ] few weeks. Another notion ia that this move of John son's is a bid for the Democratic .nomination; that “when he is turned out of his steward ship, they will receive him into their houses.” But this cannot have been his motive, since conviction carries with it disqualification for holding any office under the United Stateß which : is a sufficient answer to that Idea. 4 There is but one solution to John son’s course. lie has become intoxicated with the notion that Congress is afraid of him, and that the Republican party is di vided, and, therefore, powerless. To-day be knows bis mistake, but he has learned it too late. One ether papular error remains to be dis posed of. It is thongfabby many, and the attributed 1 :to Johflsoa himseLf, "" “'Senator Edmund’s biU t «j|iiive to the sion ol' the an ex pout facto law and thereiorfithat he can not be suspended. This: isnot true. The bin of Senator Edmund’s is simply a declara tory o»bj ; ? jib grants no now pdwer to Conn grtßß, bub simply defines what the obvious Miwiningoiftbe Gonßtitution is. It is absurd, to suppose- that the .framers of that instru ment fytst meant to permit a President on trial, iHißßibly for 'Jhigh treaßoni to rtmiume to -ejewise tise functions of his office. A single ilustratfon - will pttrro. theL absolute necessity of m immecUata ew penaUm of the j&eaitlent. / The Oouri wbl«h total him Is presided over by Chief Justice Chase. If the ChiefJlßtlce should die during tbe trial, who, his plane? There is no law' of succession in the SdpKjifie Court, and a new Chief .Justice jnufct heap pointed by the President. In * other words the prisoner at the bar creates the judge who is to try hie own case. Ibis absurdity needs no argument Congress needs no new power to suspend the President A joint resolution of both Houses will declare that under the Constitution be is suspended, and the Senate, which is the Supreme Court in this case, will decide who shall act 'in his place ad interim. OEHEBAh GRANT. The people: of the United States learned, during the rebellion, a reverent recognition of an overruling Providence in our nationa , affairs, The same good Providence seems to be at the helm of the ship of State in the new commotion which the President’s rebel lion has The bold attempt to tam per, first, with Grant, then with Meade, then with Sherman, and last With Thomas, would, if successful, have plunged the country into all the horrors of a civil war. But the design of Johnson has been frustrated by. his own lolly. He did not believe in the sterling pa triotism of Gnmt, and so he intrigued to be tray him into some act of complicity with bihovvn lawless projects. ..The. consequence rfras that he roused the honest indignation of the soldier and of the patriot and not only lost his countenance and support, but enabled him to give the key-note to all his distinguished comrades. And to this they are prompt ly responding and one after another proudly refusing to lend himself to the treacherous schemes of the baffled President. With General Grant on the side of law and, the people, Johnson is battled, defeated and loan Lorenzo Thomas, pleased to Btrut for a little while in his bogus plumes* is all that the President has of the army to rely upon, and his position as a military man is abjectly pitiful. Ordered to take possession of the War Office, be grandiloquently remarks that _he “is toe- old a soldier to run against the bayonet of a sentry posted by his superior officer.” Considering that GeD.Lorenzo Thomas has not done much lately in the way of running against bayonets heretofore; such a speech is silly in the ex treme. It is a man like this that Andrew Jbhnsoh is compelled to take for his tool, while the great names of Grant She Wan, Meade and Thomas, shine out as a bright beacon which Will be hailed through out the army as the signal and symbol of the position which the true soldiers of the Repub lic occupy, when the liberties of the people and the majesty of the laws are threatened from any quarter. The Copperhead press is howling over the fact that Mr. Blaine, Speaker protem. of the House ef Representatives, on Saturday ruled that the reading of .Washington’s Farewell Address was not in order in a very important debate that was in progress. The pretence is that the failure to read the Address was an TAOWNING'S AMERICAN LIQUID CEMENT, FOB U mending broken ornaments, and other articles of Glass, China, Ivory, Wood, Marble, Ac.

Saturday was a general holiday, but there were Dansacticne both npand down town at prices varying from H 2.« USX. and at ten o’clock at night the quotation stood at 143@M3}«, the advance being, nf eourse, due to the reports from ' Washington of the refusal of Mr. Stanton to give dp possession of his office, and the arrest followed by the enbetnuent release on hall,of the newly appointed Secre tary of War ad interim, together .with the resolution in favor of impeachment recommended by Mr. Stevens, from tlie Committee on Reconstruction.

He Professes Pacific Intentions. A PROCLAMATION TALKED OP Further Debate on the Impeachment. meeting ot the Cabinet. (Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bnßetln.l Washington, Feb. 24.—Ail Infonnal meeting of the Cabinet is now in' session, considering what Is best to be done. The President is said to be greatly disgusted with the manner In which General Lorenzo Thomas has acted. He Bays If he had used corn men prudence he might have obtained possession of the War office . without... trouble. The President And members of the Cabinet are said to be greatly alarmed at the public excitement prevailing throughout the country on acconnt of the action of the Executive. It is proposed to ißsne a proclamation explaining to the people that the President baa no Intention of resorting to violence, his idea being simply to throw the matter into the Courts for a decision. It is not known at this hour Whether or not this will t>9 agreed to by tbe Cabinet. luipcac fament Debate, Washington, Feb. 24. Mr. E. B. Washburne, of Illinois, said he wquld vote with all his heart for the resolution now before tbe House. He had hitherto not favor ed the movement, because he thought thePresi dent,warned by tbe power of the House and profit ing by its wonderful forbearance would reform his course. But he had watted in vain, and now tbe President had attempted to usurp power not de legated to him under the Constitution. Tbe path of duty for him (Washburne) was plain. He scorned threats and denunciations from the other side of the Houec. He had listened in these halls for years to just such threats coming from men with trea son in their hearts and on their Ups. These threats did not deter the friends of free dom from performing their whole duty previous to the war. The' great Be publican party, which had brought the coun try safely through the war, would not now falter in ita duty. That party was not now to be cowed by camp followers of the cor rupt Administration of Andrew Johnson. He beUeved that it was to the Interests of justice, liberty and law that the President should be im peached, and if found guUty peremptorily re moved from office. Mr. Washburne was here cut off in his remarks by the House resuming the regular morning session at 12 o’clock, and Judge Woodward (Pa.) took the floor. Judge Woodward, of Pennsylvania, delivered an elaborate argumauf against the constitution ality of the Tenure of Office act, but he Bpoke in such a low tone that he could not be heard in the reporters’ gallery. He was followed by James F. Wilson, of lowa, who said,, the public peace Is again disturbed by the President of the United States. He de nies to the nation that repose it so mueh needs. He will not obey the laws, and by the lawßhemust be judged. He (Mr.'Wilson) did not approach the case under the spur of party. The President haa defied and broken the law and the remedy is plain. We cannot escape this proceeding if we wonld, for the Pres ident would then hedge ns about with new usur pations. In this whole matter I have been more cautious than most men. The objections which were powerful with me when the subject was before the Committee are not to be found in this case. If we permit the President’s flagrant violation-of. the law to pass unchallenged no inau in oflicc will obey the law. For one, he was not in favor of waiting to ascertain ! the unknown quantities of future Presidential Crimea The President is not the maker of the tew nor the judge thereof. Mr. Wilson proceeded at length to show that the President was bound not only to obey the laws but to execute them. .De liberately, If not defiahtly, the President of the United States has violated a penal statute of this country. Perversely he has rushed.npon destruc tion, and we would be false to our country if we did notremove him from power. I will vote for the pending resolution,'to the’end that the law maybe vindicated, and this man be tanght that there is an end to his practiced. Mr. Wilson was followed by Mr. Woodbridge, of Veimont, who advocated impeachment for reasons which were lawful ones. Andrew John son dnring the past ten days has committed three acts, for either of which ho could be Impeached. First, for creating a new De partment of the Atlantic, for which there was no law; second, the removal!<& Secretary Stanton, and third, the appointing of General Thomas as Secretary of War. , - BevaluMoni*]rT Movement in Now ■:i. !’ !!'■'!: (ißowrik.if j/7>v .

In this connec tion be read extraeta from his (Mr. Ashley’si speech pro posing impeachment, in March last. Dare the House longer shrink from the exercise of Ha power in rescuing the Government from the usurper, and thus . proclaiming that the government was one of constitutional law, not of nsurped powers When two months ago the House (voted down impeach mi nt he had encouraged loyal men to keep their hoarts and that time Would vtadlcato them. He did not now exulton that Vindication; be had much father that the acts of tbfi accidental President would fall to the ground, or that he had so administered the Government as to bring it back to the paths of peace, union and prosperity. Impeachment of this man was necessary, if not for the safety of the nation today, at least to teach a lesson to future Presidents, and to vindicate the matchless consti. tutlon of the country. Forthese reasons he Would givo his vote for impeachment. ’ ■ Mr. Cool: <lll.l, being allowed one roinnte remaining unexplredlrom Mr. Ashley’s time, declared that In voting for the resolution of impeachment he held, that not only liad thetennreof officolaw been violated - by the Presi dent, bat that If that law had not boon in existence the President had exercised a power entirely unwarranted by the constitution and laws of thy United States. Mr. Boyer (I’a.) addressed the House ln t opposition to theresolntioto, and contended tbiit as to the charges al luded to by Mr; Ashley, and Which had formed the baßis of the former proposed action of the Houeo for impeach znent waa concluded bv its action, and it could not revive those chargee, «o that the sole and tingle act on which Con greet propo*ed to convulse the country waa the. re moval of EdwinM. Stanton, and the appointment adin term of Gen. Lorenzo Thomas, lie did not believe that the people were bo much In love with Edwin M. Stanton, or bo wedded to the reconstruction policy which kept for,three years, willing States eut of the Union, to sustain Congress In. Ua revotutlonary llq.contended that even though the Tenure of Office law word constitu tional, there was no violation of It, either in letter or spirit, in the removal of Mr, Stanton. If he had been ap pointed by. Mr. Johnson the question would have pre sented-*- different aspect. bur as it waa Edwin M. Stanton bad only himself been an (id interim Secre tary of -War. --Mr.-btenton of Abraham Lincoln, and if the act bad ,been in existence one month after the termination of Mr. Lincoln's admin istration. Ids functlona as Secretary of War would have ceased by the very term* of the act, and ho had ever since continued in the office simply at the pleasure of the Presi dent. He defied any gentlemen on the other side to point out any provision cr the Tenure of Office law which’had been vioUtedhy the President. . ~ • ’ Mr. Myers (Pa.) remarked that the President in rising above the tenure of office law had violated the constitu tion. Mr. Boyer argued that the only material question was whether there was a vacancy in the office of the ‘ Secre tary of War? If there was,thePreaident had a right either to let Mr. Stanton continue to discharge, the functions of the office or to give him notice to quit, for he was merely, by the tenure of office law a tenant at suffrage. If any Serf on had violated the law' in this matter It is E. M. Unton himself, who.waa holding on to the offico after his time jiad expired. , . . . • Mr. Kelsey <?f. Y.) addressed the House in support of the resolution, urging as a qaertion of law that the Presi dent should be Impeached. He contended that Andrew Johnson had no term of office as President of the United State* He was simply Vice President, acting as Presi dent. Therefore ho held that there was no force in the point made by Mr. Boyer. f<o ministerial officer, he held; had a right to challenge the constitutionality of any law nnleu it imoairs his personal rights. In reference to the warning and menace cenUised in Mr. Brooks's remarks on Saturday, in case an attempt should be made to suspend the Presi dent pending impeachment ho claimed that when the impeachment was for an indictable act, then it was tho same as a criminal proceeding, and the Court having jurisdiction of the offence, mint necessarily have Juris diction of the person of tue criminal, and have full con trol of his movements; the criminahtherefore, as a matter of course, had no power to perform hla official functions. Boppose the Prertdent, in time of war,was impeached for treason, and should, pending impeachment, propose to deliver «p to Hie enemy, the capital, the army, his judges and himself. what would prevent him doing so *a Com mander in Chlef, if the impeachment court had not the power to restrain him and deprive bite of the exercise of his ' functions? *lt woe nonsense to say that a court could try a prisoner, unless whoa it had jurisdiction sf*the cause, it had also jurisdiction of the person tried Even suppose the trial of. a. President • for treason choUM end in conviction, how was the judgment to be enforced if the criminal had control of the army and navy? It seemed, therefore, very plain that when an of nicer .waa to he impeached and summoned to appear be \foro the Senate for trial all bis powers to perform official Vunetlons were suspended. Hebeueved that* law gov wning the subject should be puted, but that-even with, out aspecial act the construction of the law and the Con stitution was aahe had contended. • m ■■ ■ Mr. Cake (Pa.) supported the resolution of impcach. mast. He had recently been among his constituents, and h ad found among them no apologists for Andrew Johnson; and he believed that the public tpiud was ready for the event of his impeachment. To trifle longer with the question was to trifle with the just demands of the loyal men of the nation. Around Edwin M. Stanton were gathering the sympathies of the people. • • • Mr. Beaman (Mich.) followed on ihe-same lUayiejd. ing one minute to Mr. Price (Iowa), who said that for long yean the people in Congress had been keeping watch and ward at the portals of liberty, and that Andrew Johnson, with a recklessness peculiar to himself, was rushing madly and furiously on to his fate. Mr. Brafr <Micb.) having twenty minutes assigned to him, said that the House was about to act under the plain authority ef the constitution, and it was not therefore necessary for gentlemen on th* other side to warn Con gress to beware, for it waa not proposing te do anything outside of the provisions of the constitution; he did not underestimate Hie importance of the occasion, but he did not apprehend that the people of the country would be at all convulsed by the -movement, for they know that Congress h»d the authority to doit, and that there was a necessity for* the exercise of that authority. He submitted that there was no qne-tion of law involved in the matter at all. The President had openly and plainly violated the law, and bad thrown down the gauntlstand dared Congress to the issue. Con gress must accept the challenge and must meet the issue. Mr. Briggs (Mich.), having two minntes yielded to him, said that if the whole Democratic party, and every other party, were clamoring at the doors of Congreos, and seeking vengeance against every man who supported the impeachment resolution, be treated not a member pretebt who would not vote for It ounonviction, and without regard to any threat* . y Mr. WashburnedU.) declared that he should vote for tfaeresolution before the Hotu*e. Acting with the ma jority of the Republican members of the House, he had not hitherto favored impeachment against the President •f the United States, not because he aid not believe him morally guilty of impeachable offences, not because be did not execrate his administration, but because he felt that in the case as heretofore presented there might be a doubt of bis conviction. Rather than branch out on a doubtful experiment, he bad been disposed not to push Impeachment in the hope that the President, warned by the House, and indebted to its forbearance, would so con duct himself as to avoid the necessity of resorting to the extreme remedy; provided by Congress. : But all hopes had been, disappointed; ‘every act of , for bearance has been but a fresh invitation to further and more flagrant aggressions, until at last he has flung himself against the very bulwarks of tho Constitution. . defying the laws and overriding a co-ordinate branch of the Government. The time had now arrived when the peoples' representatives could no longer delay the vindication of the Constitution. To him the pathway; of -duty—wai:-plain;, he - scorned.. the threats which had been . made upon this floor;, be feared no appeal to the people, but couited such apu peal. The genuenicn-had not read history, if ihoy had ; ~ not learned that in all contests between an executive and the commons, the representatives of the people had tri umphed in tho end. That great party which had . car ried the country in triumph and glory through f tho war would not now fail in .•Its great mission. That party which overcame the undivided- and compacted strength of all the rebels in arms, roaiMfied and supported by the sympathy, of two-fifths of all the voters u the States now in open rebellion, Would not npw be overcome by a band of merdnary e&m&fotioweni 1 of a corrupt and treasonable admlnlstration- The time had now come when tho President should be promptly Im peached f.r his last great orime committed against the constitution. His longer continuance in office waa • i perpetual and enduring menace against the. peace and prosnerityof the country. The whole official career of the President bait beonjnaricedbya srieked disregard ef .all toe obligationsofpufcUoduty, andbyudogreeof per-: fidy, treacbery and turpitude, unhesffd or in the history of the rulers, of afree people.

Surrounded by red handed; rebels, advised and counselled to the .worst men that ever crowded, like filthy, reptile., at the footstool of power, he has used oil the .vast authority, of the Government .to- prevent a reunion of the states; the restoration'or the harmony, •peace and prosperity Of the country.
