THE POWER. > The Supreme Court o c { .yes terday, decided the eo/ftiwvereqylri regard to the exercise of the pa jrikming power, which has been claimed antic' 'esrercified'by the Court ®f Quaiter Bessiona in this -county. The opinion, which jfl 'v/a&out Assent, was de- Bvered the Chtel Jußfice, and' fully sus tains the posiiaopj -of the The argument by Wbsdh the »aginioniß sustained is an able an d one. The Chief Justice decluros that it is “very plain that the practice is neither sustriiaed by the common Jaw asan 'inliereatt ,pow/er in the courts, nor has ever <{risted as the common; law of this State; or asa good loiearcu9tom within this county; *ot a Tule of practice within the power «£ a«coart to adopt, tacitly or by ex press mfle. Ganonecf these grounds do we think ( fihe court was sustained in altering the senUjineesdn the case before ns.” In regard to t'teplea of necessity, arißing.from the great am oout of feusineSß in our Criminal Court, the Chief Justice refers to the power already ex istdks to'defer sentence 1 until the judge can take time to satisfy his mind. He paints >ont a method Of relief in an increase of tl*.judicial foree, and -while admitting- that Hbojodge'may sometimes be embarrassed or in-delivering his sentence, he recalls -thejbct that “approximate accuracy in ad ‘imixnstering justice is all that is possible in tribunals.” ®he whole argument deserves the careful perusal of all intelligent readers. The prin ciple and practice of the Court of Quarter Sessions' on this point were so prominently •bronghtbefore the public by the address of — 4he Court to the Grand-Jury, that it necessa rilybecame a subject of general public in terest. The.practical result of the decision •will be to-increase the.labor of the Governor and to>relieve the . judges of the imporlu •nities and almost persecutions of a •class of men who are technically known •as ‘'buzzers,” and whose business it is to buzz around the ears of the judges, and to -seize ail-opportunities, “in season and out of season,”-of pressing the-demands of their in carcerated clients upon them. Neither sound justice.nor true mercy-will suffer by keeping the way to a pardon hedged up by the re strictions which the law has placed about it and Judge Allison and his colleagues will be glad to-have the relief which will be experi enced -by the removal of one large clasß of demands-apon their time and thoughts. Their case was ably argued,but the law was against them. The Supreme Court, in its opinion, closely follows the line of Attorney-General Brewster’s argument, and the,practice of the Court of. Quarter Sessious •will hereafter conform to that of all similar courts throughout the State. If a criminal is convicted,his sentence must be revised, if at all, during the term in which it is pronounced, 'll a rule to reconsider the judgment is en tered, the sentence must be suspended until the reconsideration is had. After the close of a term and the imposition of sentence, the •ease passes entirely out of the-control of the •Court, and the recourse must be to Executive clemency. JUUNKOS’S TACTKS. "We hear it said openly that the only hope left for Johnson and the Itomocr&tß lies in the prodigious money influence which the Presi- dent can bring to bear. 5t requires two-thirds or the Senate to con vict. The Democratic Senators and the renegade Doolittle are confidently, expected -to vote against -conviction no -matter what may he the facts, daw and-evidence. Now if a sufficient number of Bepnblican Senators «an be influenced, that the majority may be cut down to a number within the two-thirds, Johnson will escape, the impeachment will be a failure, and a severe injury will be in jected upon the whole Republican party. We utterly refuse to believe.that these cor rupt influences can be made effective. It is -true that the power of a desperate President tor -corruption Is something colossal, espe cially when the effect to be produced is con centrated upon a very limited number, aB in the present-case. We all also remember the manner-in which Mr. Buchanan manipu lated the House tpf Representatives and procured the final passage of the Nebraska bill, in the face of a clear original majority of 13 against it. * Intense as was the excitement over that measure, it was nothing to the white heat at which matters now stand. The actions of every representative and senator wiU be-scm tinlzed by the people with~ffie~mihuteA{ al-~ tention. Above all, what is demanded is that »oJ b;«ingle hour jßhall be wasted, that the trial shall not bo protracted one unnecessary day. It is believed that every restriction and delay that Johnson’s connsel can possibly in terpose will bemsorted to. Everything of this sort must be sternly checked, for we say without hesitation th t every d/j delay' al lowed will increase the difflfeyalty inobtalning a convicUon, ; Eveiy industrial intere in this country now demands impeach, nwt, «iwi demands ■that it shall be sure ant* 4 «peedy. The coun try needs peace, has •' jaaraed peace and will have peace at any pgygt. Johnson has al ready given ufl two spears of turmoil beyond what we ought to, had, and we now demand that he 'continue to occupy the presidential ( ceftrair ’for one hour beyond what is absol A'tdiy necessary to cast him out. As, in the jOfwase,'every Republican did his duty, so, iu ,Qb* Senate, we expect to see not one falter ©ut eveiy art that Johnson can brin 8 to.beaE, ■every political device that the Demoi A>acy xan invent, every iota of influ ence nations across the water can man- a B e to'eso/cisej'the whole of these, together w '/h'evwy trick-of bribery, corruption and d /nepotism that can bo devised, will be made bo IdlL ©elays ore always dangerous. The isafetyof honest>men lies in speedy action. Iffi.TIOCRATIC THBEATBIMNNS. ’She 'Copperhead Democracy of this city urß’imitatingthe Dead Rabbits of New York, nisi doing what they can to strengthen the Jmnds' of. Andrew Johnson in his defiance of ’Congress and the laws of the country, and •ghe whole pack, from Dr. Wilson Swanns “NationalfUnion” Tooleyites,up;or down, to the Keystone. Club, are breathing threats pf what they will do in case the President is impeached. Even the Democratic Club of the Thirteenth Ward has the cool impudence for mally to assert that Congress does not repre sent the people, forgetful of the fact that at the last election, Mr. Myers, who voted for impeachment, received a majority of nearly six hundred votes over his demo cratic antagonist in that single Ward. But threatened people livelong, and men who now talk loudly of armed opposition to the law, talked .just es loudly inf?BGl of not allowing “Yankee troops to inarch through Philadelphia for the purpose of coercing their Southern brethren;” South ern brethren who were then arming for the perpetration of the most wicked -crime in history. The firing upon Sumter and the de gradation of the flag silenced these ranting sympathizers with treason, and they did not venture to recommence their egressions of hatred to the Union, and their faith in the “Stem Statesman,” until they had gained heart from the weak forbearance ot the Gov ernment. This forbearance to traitors athome, and the too gentle treatment of those who were in the field, did more to bring about and protract the war than all other causes put together, and the lesson has not been lost upon the country. If Mr. Johnson is im peached it will be done by regular process of law after a fair trial, and those who talk so flippantly of resistance would do wisely to be careful how they attempt 'to put their threats into execution. The 'Country wants ; no more civil wars, and the prompt hanging of a score or two of the leaders of a second generation of rebels, will set a wholesome example tha,t will not be lost upon those who might be itching to follow their example. If there is a second attempt at rebellion, there will be no more treating or canceip with rose water or handling rampant traitors with kid gloves. The events of the past week furnish an un answerable argument in favor of republican institutions, and give abundant evidence of what might be cailod their elastic stability. Had Louis Napoleon attempted suoh an ex periment of usurpation as Mr. Johnson es sayed last week, and had there been open resistance to his tyranny, barricades would have arisen inßide of twenty-four hours, and there would have been a bloody appeal to arms to decide whether Emperor or Peo ple were to be uppermost. Supposing the possibility of a juncture where the sover eign of Great Britain would be ar raigned for high crimes and misde meanors, and the Parliament would resolve itself into a Court of Impeachment to try her,- and if there were no more violent evidences of the profound effect upon the public mind, there would be so tremendous a fall in Consols as would make Lombard street quake. In our own country, so . dear is .the confidence of the people in the ultimate faithful execution of the laws, and in their ability to prevent anarchy and - suc cessful civil outbreak, that the prices of gold and Government securities have scarcely been affected by the attempted usurpation of the President and the commencement of the proceedings in respect to his im peachment. There can be no stronger evi dence than is furnished by these facts of the ability of republics to right public wrongs and to preserve themselves without plunging into the anarchy and revolution which usually follow the arraignment and deposing of Megs. Yesterday, in Select Council, a resolution was adopted.lnstructing the City Solicitor to commence a suit against the Germantown Passenger Railway Company for salting their tracks. The vote was subsequently reconsid ered and then recommitted to the Committee on Law;in consequence of Borne technical dif ficulty. The ordinance forbidding the use of salt on the tracks is certainly simple enough to be understood, and laymen cannot com prehend what necessity there is for delay iu so plain a -case as the open -doing of a thing which is forbidden by law. The people of Philadelphia, having experienced all the abominations of the salt nuisance, and en joyed a respite from the evil, will never con sent that it shall be re-established through legal quibbles or legislative timidity. The slight thaw that prevailed yesterday gave -to citizens an indication of what might betexpected if the mercury should go a few" 1 degrees higher, or if a rain should take place. Last evening the pavements in many parts of the city were overflowed, and it was impos sible to get over them dry-shod. The remedy for existing and threatened evils in this respect is to keep the putters and sewer inlets open. zens must bear their share of the burthen by taking care ofthe water passages in. front of thchrbwn premises. There are; hundreds of men' out of employment, and the public oould erve both itself and theße needy laborers by setting them to work upon the ice-bound gut ers. 'Mr. Select Councilman Smith, yesterday, directed the attention ofhia brethren to the fact that at Harrieburg there is constantly legislation affecting the city of Philadelphia. He suggested that it would be cheap for the city to have a special committee at theßt&to capital to watch the bills affecting Philadelphia, mid be submitted a resolution providing for the appointment of a spbdal committee of three members from each; Chamber to repre sent the city at Harrisburg. The resolution was adopted, and Mr, Smith was made Chairman of the committee, as he waß en titled to be, by partiamentary etiquette. Mr. Smith has the reputation of being thoroughly familiar with the way in which things are managed at Harrisburg.

Chestnut Street Theatric.— One of the best and best acted plays given by the French com pany was Le Testament de Cesar Girodot, played fast evening before a good audience. Mmcs. Lar met, Hamilton and Juliani, and MM. Hamilton, La Roche, Juignet, Roche, Edgard and others, had excellent parts and all acted extremely well. The afterpiece was a trifle called La Veuve au Cornelia, m which Mile. Relllcz and M. Hamilton acted'very amusingly. The piece was apparently out a-good deal,'owing probably ta« severe cold under which Mile. Reillez labored, and which seemed to affect her voice both in singing and speaking.

He says they are not yet complete, all statements to the contrary notwith standing. The Committee held another meet ing to-day, and considered further various drafts of articles of Impeachment which have been submitted. It is found very difficult to come to an agreement, there, is so much difference of opinion among the various members oi the Com mittee as to the character ,of the articles to be reported to the House. It is understood, how ever, that a majority of the Committee is in favor of confining the articles to a few distinct charges. bo as to dispense with a long array of witnesses and a tedious trial. Governor Boutwell is of i the opinion that shohld the Committee be able to complete the ar tides to-day, they will certainly report to-mor row, ! THE OUY FAWKES I’l.OT.

Wlio Did 11? The Boston lJaibj Advertiser's Washington cor respondent telegraphs the following: Evcrv hour one hears tbe question from strang ers, "Who advised the President to remove Mr. Stanton and appoint General Thomas Secretary of War ad interim 2” There is but one answer to this—Nobody. The Democratic members ot tbe Senate were more surprised even than those on ihe other side when the Exccu tire message arrived on Friday. Messrs. Doolittle, Hendricks and Reverdy Johnson all de clare privately that they never dreamed such a move was Intended. Half a dozen members ol the House declared in debate that nobody on their side suspected such a thing. Judge Black is credited with being the President’s chief adviser, but he had been out of town for a week previous. Furthermore, I cannot help giving you Judge Black’s own statement of tbe relations between Mr. Johnson and himself. Talking with a lead ing Senator about the matter one day, he Mid, as I hear, “The papers talk about me as the Pre sident’s chief adviser. That’s all humbug; he 6ends for me sometimes, but he rarely follows my advice: if he did he wouldn’t make such a d-d fool of himself so often." Itis certain enough that Judge Black didn't advise this action. One of the chief members of the-Democratic National • Committee said yesterday: “If it had been hinted I to ns that such a game was on foot, wc should have protested against it warmly enough. Sec retary Browning answered a gentleman who spoke to him on the subject: “You knew as much about it beforehand as 1 did.” This is tbe testi mony from all quarters. The President undoubt edly took the step on his own responsibility. The apologetic explanation sent to the Senate yesterday was eyidently an after thought on his part, when he discov ered that it was not safe to violate the law. The message of Friday, not yet published, is aimost contemptuous in its tone. He does not hint in that document at any pnrpose to get the Tenure of Office act into the courts. Itis a defiant an nouncement that he makes a new Secretary of War without asking the consent of the Senate. It ie a mistake to suppose, as some of the news papers do, that Gen. Thomas’s name is submitted for confirmation. The President asked nothing of the kind; he only notified the Senate that the General had been appointed. Tbe Harvey Lcltcrs. Mr. Harvey publishes the following eorres ncndenco in bis own justification: Washington City, Feb. 20, 1868.— Hy bear Sir: You will doubtless remember that 1 ad dressed a’ letter to you from Lisbon in July. 1861, requesting an inquiry-to be made by the House of Representatives into various newspaper reports concerning: a correspondence of mine cer “ tain persons in Charleston, and that I also re quested you to verify the facts therein stated by calling upon President Lincoln, in which hands I had placed the correspondence referred to. W ill veu do me the favor to state your knowledge of these circumstances, in order that I may be better able to correct a misrepresentation which still seems to exist on this subject? James E.

You also inclosed to me a copv of a private letter to the then Secretary War, which I took the responsibility of having read to the House, and which at once not only silenced every malicious utterance on that sub ject. but convinced everybody that yonr whole conduct had been eminently patriotic, and inspired singly by the earnest, and up right desire io' prevent the inauguration of civil war and the terrible calamities which followed. The fullest investigation by myself and others at the time strengthened that conclusion, winch Senator Wade manfully and properly expressed on the floor of that Chamber when this matter was revived to your prejudice a year or more ago. I called upon President Lin coln with your letter, who confirmed with preci sion all its statements, and after examination of his papers he handed to me the telegraphic despatches which you had delivered to him, while expressing his gratification at being able to do that act of justice toward you, and at being dis embarrassed himself from erroneous mterpret ations on tho part of those who Were ignorant of the true facts of the case.

The course of gold since the passage of the Impeachment resolution by the House of Representatives, has been a source of general surprise, aud the disappomtment of the bulls has been very great.

Resolved, That gold for tho rich and paper for the poor is oppressive and unjust, and an equal and uniform currency for the . whole people is demanded by both honor and justice, and mat CoDgresswould be more properly engaged in relieving the burthens of the people than in their struggles for political power. Resolved, That the flag of our country should protect the rights of persons and property of all our citizens, native or foreign bom, in all parts of the world, and the Government should tate prompt measures to make that protection cer tain and effective. Resolved, That we regret the unhappy differ cnees between tho Radical party in Congress and tho President, and we condemn the attempt ot a part of Congress to strip the presidential autho rity and the Supreme Court of its proper func tions in order that they may carry out their Im peachable schemes of negro supremacy m certain States, In violation Of the Constitution of the United States, and contrary to the sentiments and feelings of the great bulk of the population of the Union. „ ' .. Resolved, That we aro in favor of guaranteeing to each State in this Union a republican form ot government,under the control of the white race.

Grant XLth congress—second Session* [Senatk.—Continued from Third Edition.!, On motion of Mr. Conncss (Cal.), the bill ref lating to the Pacific Railroad was again taken up. Mr. Howard said the Committee on the Pacific Railroad, after due investigation, had concluded that the title to Ycrba Buena Island, or Goat - Island,iWas'in. the United States, and that no” . private person had any legal claim upon It. ; The bill originally contemplated the cession, of a portion of the island to the company, but the committee had recommended the present provi-- sion in tho form of an amendment, merely per- , mining the nse of tho island as a depot in time of peace, reserving the portion required by the United States. In time of war the Government could repossess it. Mr. Cameron said there was no reason why other railroads terminating at San Francisco should not be allowed equal privileges on this Island. , .. At the expiration of tho morning boor the bill was laid aside, and the unfinished bhalness, the joint resolutien to cover into the Treasury thetproceeds of captured and abandoned prsperty, was taken up. The question was on Mr. Edmonds’ amendment appropriating from such proceeds $lOO,OOO for the expenses of collection of the property, and to meet the expenses of suits brought against the Secretary of the Trea sury or his agents, in connection with such pro perly. After considerable discussion the amend ment was agreed to. Yeas 29, nays 13. Mr. Trumbull thought it would be extraor dinary, after what they knew Of the cotton eased, if they passed the resolution in its present form. He said the gross receipts from the fond were $30,000,000," chiefly from cotton, and after the Secretary of the Treasury's adjudication upon the claims against it, a thing he had no right to do, there was left $24,000,000. Under the law. this money should have been paid Into the United States Treasury, when claimants could apply to the Court of Claims, within two years aftor the rebellion,and upon proper proof of legality and, ownership, could recover, deducting expenses.
