PENNSYLVANIA AND THE -VICE
PRESIDENCY.
It is now an ascertained fact that a. large
majority of the delegates to the State Repub
lican Convention will vote for ex-Governor.
Andrew G. Gurtin as the choice of the party
far the nomination for the Vice Presidency of
the United States, General Grant, of course,
being the unanimons choice for the Presi
dency. • The Republicans of. Pennsylvania,
civilians and soldiers,recognice the invaluable
services rendered by (governor Curtin during
his six years in the gubernatorial chair, and
they ask the Republicans of other States to
unite With them In offenng to him the
nomination for the Vice Presidency, as every
moderate reward for those services. To him
far more than to any other one man, was the
country indebted for the noble stand taken by
Pennsylvania during the rebellion. Every
call for troops was promptly responded to
under Governor Curtin's energetic and intelli
gent administration. His foresight led to the
organization 'of the Pennsylvania Reserve.
Corps, which was found all ready, equipped
and drilled, just atthe moment when the nation
stood in immediate need of such troops. All
through the war Governor Curtin devoted him
self to the national cause and to the welfare
of ihe Pennsylvania troops. Then, and since
then, he has been the faithful friend of the
soldiers, their widows and their orphans.
His labors were unceasing night and day,
and, under them,his health several times gave
way: But be survived through his two terms,
Making a record on the annals of Pennsylva
nia which will always be honorable. The
Vice Presidency will be but a. small reward
for his services. His name on the ticket will
add greatly to its strength among the people,
not only in Pennsylvania, but also in the
other States..

IRITEAcUrIBNT.
The specifications of the charge against
Andrew Johnson were presented to the House
on Saturday. Wisely avoiding any reference .
to the long catalogue of offences which have
made this administration so odious and so
disgraceful, from the shameful day of its
inauguration down to the present time, the
Committee has confined itself to the one case
immediately before the country. The Arti
cles of Impeachment have been carefully
framed' with all due regard to those technical
arid legal forms which are necessary on such
a grate "bounden. '- They cover -the ground
- well, and may be thus epitomized:
First—The issuing of an order, February
21, 1868, for the removal of Edwin M. Stan
ion, Secretary of War.
6'cconri—The appointment of Adjutant-
Ceneral Lorenzo Thomas, on the same day,
to be Secretary of War ad interim.
~Third—The appointment of General Lo
renzo Thomas as Secretary of War ad
intcrim, without the advice and consent of
the• Senate, no vacancy existing in the office.
.Fourth--- Conspiracy with General Lorenzo
llamas and others unknown, to prevent
Edwin M. Stanton from exercising the duties
of :Secretary of War, by intimidation and
threats.
Fifth—Conspiracy with General Lorenzo
Thomas and others unknown, to prevent the
execution of the, Tenure of Office law.
Sixt/L—Contipiracy with General Lorenzo
Thomas, to take and possess the property of
the United States in the War Department.
.S4creaft.—ConspiTacY..withP r enc.r4 .119 t
YeTIZO Thomas to hinder the execution of the
Tenure of Office law, and as an overt act, at
tempting to prevent the occupancy of the of
fice of Secretary of War by Edvvtn M. Stan
ton.
Eighth. —Conspiracy with General Lo
renzo Thomas to seize the, property of the
United States in the War Department con
trary to the Tenure of 0111ce act.'
.Ninth.—The appointment of General Lo
renzo Thomas as Secretary of War, ad
without the advice and consent of the
Tenets, With intent to control the, disburse
ments of the moneys appropriated for the
milittiry service and for the department of
war.. •
l'etth—lnstructing Brevet Major-General
William H. Emory, commanding the Depart
ment of Washington and , the military forces
thereof, that the act of Congress of March 21
3167, which declares, in section 2, that "Alt
orders and instructions relating to military
operations, issued by the President or Seem
tary of War, shall be issued through the Gen 7
eral of the Army, and in case of his inability,
through the next in rank," Ina unconstttu
tional, and in contravention of the commis
sion of said General , Emory, and therefore
not binding on him as an officer of the army
of the United States, with intent thereby to
induce General Emory, in his official capacity
as Commander of the Department of Wash
ington to violate the provisions of said act'
and to take and receive and act upon and
obey such orders as he, the said Andrew
Johnson, might make and give, and which
should not be issued through the General of
the Army of the United States, according to
the provisions of said act.
These Articles of Impeachment will be
adopted hy the House this afternoon,and then
the solemn responsibility of the trial and re-
Moval of the President will be left with
the Senate. At the bar of public opinion,
Andrew Johnson has already been arraigned,
tried, convicted and sentenced. He has
neither apologist nor defender anywhere out
side of that class,which formed the apologists
and the defenders of the rebellion. The same
line is drawn now as was drawn then, and,
with scarce a single exception, men
are ranged on one side or the
other, as they, then were. The
Democracy arrays itself, in its individual and
its aggregate manifestations, against the laws
and on the side of the transgressoi . , as it did
all through the rebellion. On the very floor
of Congress,resistance to the execution of the
laws is advocated by men like Woodward
and Randall, while frantic appeals are made
at Ward meetings, threatening all manner of
horribleibings against those who are deter
mined that the Executive Department of this
great nation shall no longer be entrusted to a
man who sets at defiance the Constitution
and the laws.
These attempts to influence and intimidate
the High Court of Impeachment before which
Andrew Johnson is to be tried should be left
to the Democracy. The Republican party
can afford to leave the issue in the hands of
the Senate. There is no Republican Senator
who does not fully appreciate the responsi
bility of his situation; no one that does not
know that to fail in his duty now is to fall
forever; no one who does not know that
there is no bribe that can be of
fered, and no threat pronounced, which
are for one moment to be weighed
in comparison with the infamy which would
go with the acceptance of the bribe, or
the submission to the threat. The
trial will be speedy, but it will
be dignified and fair. A. failure to convict
could only come from the effect pf technical
quibbles, which no Senator will dare to per
mit to control him, or from considerations of
personal jealousy or interest, which would be
so destructive to him who should be swayed
by them, as to put the idea out of the ques
tion.
We hope for a speedy satisfactory re
sult of this impeachment., Every public in
terest demands it, and wh the country is
relieved from the fatal incubus of the man
who now disgraces the Presidential chair, we
shall be able to repeat • the record of the
chroniclers of ancient time, and say of a pros
perous and peaceful country: "And the land
lad rest many days."
ANDREW JOHNSON'S SUPPORTERS.
Louis XI. was wont to say that he liked
angry men; he could see through them all at
once. In view of the Copperhead indigna
tion meeting held at Horticultural Hall, on
Saturday night, we endorse this sentiment
and go for angry men. The meeting was
called for the purpose of sustaining Andrew
Johnson and to denounce Congress, and
whether the anger of those who took part in
it was real or feigned, they fulfilled the mis
sion of angry men by letting people see
right through them all at once. The
officers •of the meeting presented almost as
strange a medley and muddle of political
abominations and absurdities as Macbeth's
cauldron or the Witch's table in Kirk Allo
way contained. There were
'" Black Spirits and White
Blue Spirits and Grey," s
all mingled up in a strangely confused sort
of harmony, and having no principle of cohe
sion to keep these oddly discordant-according
elements together but rabid Copperheadism
and the desire for public plunder. First, and
most prominent, was the sickening old milk
and!water, twaddling -BellEverett element ; _
the men whose principles lay in their breeches'
pockets; men who had neither the heart nor
the patriotism to stand by the Republic in the
time of its greatest peril, nor the pluck to
go South and shoulder a musket, under the
lead of Ewell or Stonewall Jackson; men, in
short, who would eat dirt by the peck,
and call their mothers bad names
if thereby they could increase their
sales of dry goods, hardware or shoes. Then
there were your-out-and-out Copperheads,
who never made any secret of their hatred of
the. Union cause, and who considered Andrew
Johnson a fit subject for the gallows until he
committed treason against the country and
the party which elected him, and thus com
mended himself to their esteem and,. favor.
Last, and most contemptible of all, were the
members of the Bread and Butter Brigade;
lick-spittle patriots, who would throw up
their hats for „Ben Wade to-morrow, if the
Senate could and would keep pace with the
throlping of the honest, loyal heart of tho
nation and depose the traitor' Johnson to-day."
The resolutions were presented by the ex-
Secretary of the Copperhead crew who were
wont to gather at their headquarters on Wal
-srut street below Sixth, once a Week, during
the dark days of the war, to listen to and ap
plaud the treasonable utterance's of such men
as William B. Reed, Charles Ingersoll and
James W. Wall. It was eminently impu
dent that such a man should offer to such a
meeting such a resolution as the following:
Resolved, That the people have subdued one re
bellion against the Union and the Constitution,
waged by war, thus declaring by the decision of
arms that the Union is, and the Constltntion
shall be paramount and beyond all efforts to de
itroy them, and that the action of the so•called
Congress le s peaoeinl rebellion to prevent the

As :to the orators. of the evening • they were
worthyof the•ocoasion.and its 'surroundings. •
Such men as William - Bigletland Richard
Vaux mounted the rostrum in defence of the
false President; and•Andrew:Johnson . would
have waited lOng for their oratorical aid had
he remained firm and steadfast in loyalty and .
good faith. • • ,
But as this article set forth at its beginning,
we like your angry - men, and thus the speech
of Colonel Lechler : at . the Johnson4ireckin
ridge-Beff-Everett-Se cession - Copperhead-
Bread-and-Butter-pow-wow • of Saturday
night commends itself to serious notice.
Colonel Lechler is repOrted.to have said that
"he thought the Democratic party were, in a
measure, responsible for the present condi
tion of the country. Had they opposed the
war by force, as it was their duty:to do, they
would not now have their rights trampled
under foot. As he world have counselled
resistance then, so he felt called on to counsel
resistance now. [Cheers.] The people must
not permit Andrew Joihnson to be removed
unconstitutionally. If they do, they deserve
to lose their liberties. But he knew they
Would not. He felt they would be true to
their duty, and sustain the Constitution and
the laws at all' hazards. [Applause.]"
Colonel Lechler commands admiration for
his blunt, out,spoken treason,and it is a ques
tion whether his speech is most distinguished
for edifying frankness or for unblushing in
famy. •
Under any and all circumstances Andrew
Johnson is to be congratulated becanse of his
friends. He is sustained by partisans who
directly profit by his treachery and by the
placemen who fawn for thrift without regard
to the dirt that cringing brings with it; but
what support or countenance • comes to him
from that great, earneet,patriotic party, which
in the autumn of 1864 declared that the war
and all its huge - sacrifices were not failures,
and which; by vast majorities; carried Abra
ham Lincoln and this Tennessee Judas into the
highest places in the nation? In this great
party all is silent as the grave except in ear
nest denunciation and in expressions of
hearty contempt. The meeting of Saturday
night was the first of a series of big
pro-Johnson and anti-Congress de
monstrations that have • . been pro
mised. Thus far it is the case of Judas
Iscariot, with Pontius Pilate for an advocate;
the hearing of Catiline vs. The Roman Re
public, argued on behalf of the conspirator,
by Autronius and Piso; James 11. apologized
for by a Papal Nuncio; Arnold relying upon
the vindication of Sir 'Henry .Clinton, Lord
Cornwallis and the American cow-boy and
tory rank and file; Aaron Burr seeking con
solation from the testimony of Blennerhasset;
Frank Pierce vouched for by Jefferson Davis;
James Buchanan excused. and patted upo n
the back by Jerry Black; Breckinridge and
Robert E. Lee, with John Mitchel, "Brick"
Pomeroy and the Charleston Mercury as their
sureties; and last and perhaps most wicked in
this story of ineffectual treason, comes An
drew Johnson, and; God, help him and us,
with no better bulwark against the honest
indignation of, the loyal millions whom he
has deceived and betrayed than the.Biglers,
Tom Florences, Vauxes, Col. Lechlers
and the tag-rag and bobtail of petty
jobbers, commercial and . political, who
have not an aspiration that. is
loftier than the pocket, not a sentiment higher
than . to get loaves and fishes, and the
accompanying dirt-diet not taken into ac
count.
The cable despatches announce the death
of the young King of Bavaria, Louis IL,
which occurred at the royal palace in Munich
last Friday. The event must have been sud
den, as there had been no previous mention
of his illness. King Louis was born August
25th, 1845, so that he was less than twenty
three years old. He had reigned hardly four
years, having succeeded to his father, King
Maximillian 11., on the 10th of March, 1861.
He was a handsome looking young nian, but
of delicate physical organization. He never
showed any aptness for politics, but was de
voted to music, and made an especial pet of
Richard Wagner, the bold innovator, who is
often sneered at as the writer of the Music of
the Future. During the war in Germany in
1866, when Bavaria was threatened by Prus-
Bia, the young King was absent for some time
among the mountains, enjoying the society:of,
his favorite. Last year he was betrothed to
his cousin, the Princess Sophia, daughter of
Duke Maximilian. Every arrangement had
been made for the marriage, with
great pomp, when the King suddenly
changed his mind and broke off the match.
This was a great grief to the public, who
were promind free beer on the wedding day,
Hundreds of other marriages had been ap
pointed for the same day; and according to
an old custom, the brides were to receive
handsome wedding gifts from the King. He
made the gifts all the same as if he had been
married, and the free beer was also distri
buted. But his jilting of the Princess caused
much ill-feeling in the Bavarian Court, and
her father resigned his commission in the
Bavarian army. The King is succeeded by
his brother. Otho, born April 27, 1848.
Their mother, the Queen Dowager, was a
daughter of the late Prince William of
Prussia, and is a woman of fine intelligence
and of character superior to that of either her
husband or her sons.

HOUSE.—Tbe House re-assembled at 10 o'clock,
in Committee of the Whole,
Mr. Washburne (I 11.) in the chair, and con
tinued the discussion on the Articles of Impeach
ment, the interval between the hour of meeting
and noon being regarded as pait of the legislative
session of Saturday.
There were not a dozen members in , the hall,
and not fifty spectators in the gallery at the hour
of meeting. •

Mr. Garfield (Ohio) took the floor, and ex
plained the cause of his absence when the vote
was taken In the House on the present articlee of
impeachment. If he had been present he would
have voted aye. It was known that he had, on'
previous occasions, -uniformly.voted

dent had taken advantage of the unwillingness
of the House to be forced into impeachment, and
bad grown more arrogant, more reckless, and
more defiant, till there was now no remedy tatty
to Impeach him. Mr. Ga.rfield went on to' amfe
the legal and constitutional points involved in
the attempt to remove Mr. Stanton frotn the
' . War Office - , contending - that - the President had
no right given him even in the ConstitUtionlli-'
redly to the removal of an officer. The act of
removal was incident to that of appointment. -
There was no such thing known in the Constitu

The Inspettehment Trial.
iSPecial Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.)
WAtalliitiTON, March 2.—There is every disposi
tion among , the Radical Senators to finish the
consideration of the rules to govern the impeach
meat trial te-day, even If it becomes necessary
to bold a night session. The Democrats will en
deavor to defeat the rule which limit the time for
the speeches of counsel of both sides; but it is
believed that the rule, as it now stands, will be
adopted. A vote will be reached in the House at
4 o'clock this afternoon, and it Is desired' to have
the rules finished lathe Senate in order that the
House may go to the bar of the Senate to-morrow
morning and present the articles. A number of
Republican members who were absent when the
vote on impeachment was taken have returned,
and the indications are that the vote to-day on
the articles of impeachment will be larger than
the vote on impeachment last Monday.
Leading Radicals have been consulting, during
the past two days, as to the propriety of having
any general legislation While the Senate is trying
the President. The conclusion arrived at is that it
would be decidedly Injurious to the impeachme4
movement to- attempt any kgislation whatever'.
It is thought that it would turn the attention of
the country away from the question and disturb
the unanimity of the impeachment party.
Make as quick work as is consistent, and it will
be far better for the country, and not
delay the trial so as to consume weeks
and perhaps months. It is believed
that notice will be served upon_ the President, at
once, to appear within two days. and show tea.'
son why he is not ready to proceed with- the
Ris counsel will undoubtedly ask for ten
or twenty days, at least, in order to answer the
summons or to commence the trial.
During the consideration of the roles in the -
Senate Mr. Wade does not occupy the Chair, or
vote upon any proposition bearthg upon them,
be believing that it is not proper, under the cir
cumstances, for him to do so.

I ftPedal Do*Plitoh to the PhiMelo* Evening Bulletin.
WASIIINGTON, March 2.—The Ordnance Sub-
Committee have finished their report on the pro
jectile frauds.
It is under-food that a meeting of the full Com
mittee will be held soon and the report, as made
by the Sub-Committee, be adopted and presented
to the House, as early as possible. Some:very
startling disclosures are expected in this:report,
showing how the government was swindled ont
of large sums of money for almost worthless
projectiles, and also the connection of officers of
the government with the contractors who sup
plied these projectiles.
No report is jet made on the other matters
which the committee have been examining, the
taking of testimony not being finished.
THE CONTESTED ELECTION CASES.
The Committee on Elections hold a meeting
to-morrow morning to make up their final report

There Isgood authority for saying that the Com

put .out of the way. If , the • DeMOcratic party
endeavored to oppose this they would beta the
P_otdtion which Mei had so , often charged -the
Republican party as occupying, of setting them
selves sp agaktit the Gonstituffon sf the United
States. NOthing but tke fidelity of the army had
prevented the President from' usurping the
poWere of despotism and withdrawing the Con
etitution of the United States.
Mr. Lawrence (Pa.) followed on the same side.
He also had hitherto opposed impeachment, and
Yet he had been convinced that the President had
been guilty, if not of high crimes and misde
meanors, at least of great imprudenee. He had
heard the President make his speech to the mob
on the 22d of February, 1866, and had felt mor
tified, chagrined and humiliated at his lan
guage. He had read the accounts of the Presi
dent's western trip, and had recognized that the
President had forgotten the dignity of the high
office, and had spoken of Congress as if it was
not a constitutional body. But all this did not
justify impeachment. At last, with malice afore- .
thought and deflonee, he had attempted to tram
ple on the Constitution and laws by removing
Mr. Stanton and aspointing General Thomas.
This might not be a worse crime than any of the
others,but it was a plain infraction of the law, and
the house could do nothing but impeach him before
the Senate. He himself had always been treated
with great kindness and respeetty the President,
but that fact could not influence his ludg
merit in the matter. The majority of his con
stituents bad hitherto been opposed to the Im
peachment of Mr. Johnson, but he had informa
tion now that not only the Republican support
ers, but that influential Democrats in his district
were anxibint that the Prdsidetit should be im
peached and, removed.
His Democratic friends on the qther side of the
hall might laugh at that, brit, nevertheless, lie
would repeat It as ' a fact. All talk about demo
cratic resistance to impeachment was fustian and
nonsense. If the ' , President were deposed the
Democratic party would drop him within one
week from that time.
Mr. Johnson was trying to force the Democra
tic party to noruhutte him as' its candidate for
the Presidency, but it...would do no such thing.
Mr.' Niblack (Ind.) follow,ed ,on the oppoiite
side of the questiOn. !me first awl most impor
tant branch of it, he said, bad already been dis
posed of, and it only remained for the House to
formulate the articles of impeachment by which
the President should be tried.
Re would not discuss the question in any par
tisan view, and regretted that the last speaker
should have'descended to ordinary partisan dis
cussion. The effect which the - , action of the
Rouse and Senate would have upon this or that
party was a minor and insignificbnt arg,ument,as
compared with the effect upon. the country and
republican institutions. The Republican Mem
bers of the House were• prepared _to revolutionize
the country for the purpose ofetting rid of a
President who was distasteful to them. They had
first attempted to Africanize the institutions of
the'country, and now they were ready to Niesi
caniz.e them. .
. . .
Proceeding to discuss the Tenure of Office law.
be reminded the House that theAttorney-Generai
of the United States, the legal adviser of the
Presidentand Secretary Stanton himself, had de
clared that law unconstitutional. There was.
therefore, nothing in the act of the President
which was deserving of impeachment. It was 'ii
mere honest difference of opinion, and the proper
way to settle it was by obtaining a judi
cial decision, and it was only Om-. which
the President had sought to obtain. .
Mr. Williams (Pa.) asked Mr. Niblack what
authority ho bad for the statement that Mr.
Stanton bad expressed the opinion that the law
was unconstitutional. Mr. Niblack said his au
thority was in the testimony taken before the
Judiciary Committee, of which the gentleman
himself was a member.
Mr. Williams said there was no such testimony
taken before that committee. It was only the
assertion of the President himself.
Mr. Niblack said that the fact had been. brought
out by a message from the President, and that it
had never been contradicted by any person in
the interest of Mr. Stanton_
Mr. Longhridge (lows) next took the floor and
declared that ..Pindrew Johnson had already been
impeached before the tribunal of public opin
ion, and that he ought to have been impeached
long since by the Ifonee. Ile denied that the
Preal4ent's belief of the uneon-ititutiotality of
the tenure of office law was any excuse or justi
fication for him. .
. .
Andrew Johnson had talked about the Consti
tution continually by day, and had probably
dreamed of It by night,
.yet he had all the time
been violating its provisions and subverting its
authority, for the purpose of putting into office
rebels and traitors.
Mr. Pike (Me.) followed on the same side. He
said that if the articles• under discussion were suf
ficient to ground an impeachment upon, it. was
quite evident that they did npt include some of
the graver offences for which he might have been
arraigned. And ho had, therefore, learned with
great pleasure that an amendment was to be pre
sented by the gentleman from Massachusetts
(Boutwell) which would in part, at least, remedy
this difficulty. It is unite certain that is would be
more satisfactory to - the House and to the coun
try if the real reasons for removing President
Johnson were placed on the record. The whole
catalogue of his offences, what he had done
and what he bad failed to do, wen,' cogtinu•
ous whit his official life. He had endeavored
to bring Congress into derision and into dis
repute as " a body hanging on the verge of
the Government." He had made himself a jest
and a by-word, he had prostituted. his office in
the use of the veto, and had giVell all encourage
ment to rebels and done all he could to prevent
the reconstruction of the States. The forbearance
of Congress had only led to greater violence of
action on the part of the President. The time
had now come, the law was plain, the
President should be impeached and driven
out. Impeachment would end the combat.
Impeachment was peace. If it secured to the
Democratic party a martyr, that party was wel
come to him, but Andrew Johnson had in him
the poorest stuff that ever a martyr was made of.
Let fall then be tried. bo elected - from office as
soon as the forms of law will show, and the
whole country will say Amen. •

The Clty Control Over PASSOUger
Ha , •
Strenrme Coune—Juaticea Strong, Read, Agnew and
Sharewood.—Judgments were entered' in the following
cases this morning:
The Frenliford and Philadelphia Paerenger Railway
Casnpanv vs. The City of Philadelphia. Error to District
Cowl, Philadelphia. Opinion by isttrongol.
The argument on behalf of the plaintiffe starts with
Sbe assertion that. le log a corporation created by the
tate, they are subject only to such burdens as are clearly
Imposed by their charter. If by this it is meant that they
are subject to no other burdens, regulations or restrictions
than those welch are expressly enumerated in the act of
Assembly which authorized their corporate existence, we
cannot yield our ascent to it.
They were incorporated with too privileges. This one
was a right to construct a railway upon and along some of
the public streets of the city of ,Philadelphia, and the
other was a right to tun pareeniter cars on the railway
Constructed and to engage in the business of passenger
carriers. Of both there privileges they are undoubtedly
purchasers, and they cannot be deprived of them by any
action of the city. lint the *rant of a privilege to carry
passengers in cars over the streets does not necessarily in•
volve exemption from liability to municipal regulation.
It is trot the bestowal of a tight eupterior to the rights in
joyed by passenger carriers generally, whether such car-
Me be natural or artificial persons. The facilities for
the nee of the right may •be greater, but the right
itself can be neither snore nor lees than a
natural person possesses. It is to be
preowned that when the legblature creates a corporation
arid authorizes it to carry on a specified beatnees within
the limits of a municipal organization, the business is in
tended to he conducted under the restrictions, rules and
regelatlons that govern the same business when trans
acted by others within the same corporate limits. Can it
be doubted that a company chartered and endowed with
the riegle privilege of running a lino of omnibtreters.
within a city or borough, would take the privilege, sub.
ject to reasonable municipal regulations of its enjoyment?
Would the vehicles of such a corporation he beyond all
control of the city or borougn as to the rate of speed et
which they might be run or as to the places where they
might stop? !slight they obstruct - croaeingsr whenever '
aid wherever the company might please, and
the municipal authorities be powerless to restrain
the public ince nvenience? Is such an exemp
tion from reasonable local regulation a nart
of the legislative grant if it is, the grant is more than
Conferring a right to do buelnese. Suppose a Company
charts ed to make and sell bread in the city, La it beyond'
the power of the local authorities to prescribed the weight
of the loaves ,vr bletathey may Make and pelt. Or if
authorized to own and use hackney coacher., may not
elands be prescribed for them 't Theeecind a multitude of
similar questions may be put, to which there can
be , but one answer. A power - or a
right in the hands of a corpo-ato a can
be no pa cater than the same power or right in the hands
of a natural person. Any regulation which may he her
pored upon its exercise by one, in sy Ms imposed upon
Its ieeercfee by the other,' It to not maintained
that the 11Jce of a privilege conferred by 111 e legis
lature may be denied by the city authoritioe ;
bur a reasonable regulation of the use is not
such denial.' No city ordinance can prevent
any person from tieing drays or carte, hut the mode and
condition of use are confessedly subject to direction by
ordinance. And corporations chartered to de beeiness in
a city are to be regarded as inhabitants of the city, and
in the absence of special exemption, eublect to its ordi

chartered limits on application of the owners of property,

granted the municipal authorities parsed an ordinance
prohibiting opening the streets for the pompom of laying
gas mains between the Ist of December and the following
March. Tide ordinance, it was ruled, bound the gas

are numerous. It is a mirtake to argue then. as MIN been

pressly mentioned in their charter. Liability, to restric.
Owes and regulations is involved in the designation of
the place where their authorized business is
to be carried on. It is MITI) , unnecessary to spend time
in allowing that the right to run cars and carry messengers'
is neither enlarged nor diminished by the other right
which they possess, that to construct and own a railway
upon which their cars may run.
The power of the city to regulate the use of the fran
chise of the plaintiffs to run care being then established,
the next reieetionie whether the ordinance of which they
complain is ouch a regulation. It provides that each car
run anal! be numbered. and have its number painted in a
conspicuous place, that each car shall be licensed in the
payment of a stipulated sum, and that a certifi
cate of the license, duly numbered, shall be
hung in each. Tire ease stated hardly raises the question
whether this is a reasonable regulation. The argument
rather denies that it is a regulation at all. It is obvious
however, its effect is that .of a police , regulation. It
clearly furnishes a meant' of identifying every
car which may be run_in violation of those
rights ' and public intersts which the City
is authorized by its charter to maintain and secure.
'1 he city is authorized to "ordain, constitute and estab
lish each ordinances, regulatione and constitutions as
shall be necessary for the government and welfare of the
eaid city." But it is insisted there can be no regulation
by license .witbout legislative authority. The mode or
form of regniat km, however.mustbeimmaterirth It is the
sebetanre or effect only which need to be considered.
Whether it is true that a police regulation cannot be
made by a requisition of licenses without express autho
rity from the Legislature may, perhaps. be a question in
other cases. It is not in this. The twelfth per-
Don of the Act of Assembly of April 15, 1850.
enacted "that the Select and Common Councils of
the city of Philadelphia shall have authority. by
ordinance or ordinances, to provide for the proper
regulatien of ormaiburea or oehicled in the nature thereof
and to this end it shall . be lawful for the raid Councils,
ec., to provide for the leering of licenses to such, and se
u: any Perrone es may apply to keep and nee omnibuses or
vehicles in the rotten, thereof, and to ',harem
a reasonable annual or other surer therefor."
This act is seal in force. It plainly
authorizes regulation by the issue of licensee. And we
are of opinion that it applies to passenger rants ay cars.
They are oninibueee, or, if not, they are vehicles in the
nature of oninibusee. They are open to all, in
tended fee all. Tire change of form from that

(From to-day's N. Y. Herald.l
Malice I.—The course of gold during the past week was
a source of considerable surprise to Wall street. It was
generally expected that if the House of Representatives
really voted to impeach the President the premium would
exptr.ence a rapid advance to a high point; but the event
fell flat oa the market. Early on Monday morning the
price of gold rose for a moment to 144, in anticipation
of - the passage of the impeachment resolution, which
took place in the afternoon but this advance was fol
lowed by a decline to 142 die same day, and during the
remainder of the week speculation war rather tame, and
the fluctuations were from 1413.; to 141%, the closing quota
tion yesterday haying been 14lee to 141 a. There war a
moderate borrowing demand for coin from the "shorts,"
but the supply wait superabundant, and loans were made
at rates varying from four to eight per cent for carrying,.
Tho demand for customs duties at the port aggregated
5f."41,16..1, and the Bub-Treasury disbursed $112,000
in payment of gold interest on the public debt. The
shipments of • specie and bullion were unimportant,
the total having been only $654,901. The impression
among the speculators is that the Preeldent, if tried on
the charges preferred against him, will not be convicted,
for all that he is really accused of is a violation of the-
Tenure of Office law in the case of Stanton. the attempt
to impeach him on other charges having just oreviouely
entirely failed, and that law Mr. Johnson claims to be
unconstitutionaL If it le so it was his duty to test it, and
he could only do so by violating it and thereby
bringing it before the Supreme Court. Although the
course of gold indicated an absence of any distrust of the
public credit there was a decline of fully one per cent. in
government securities during the week, under a pressure

mulch of that Senator on the subject on Thureday. At
the close the gold bearing stocks were steady,
and the indications are that the present dep res.
eiim will be followed by a quick reaction. The promi
nent dealers have beenlarge buyers at the reduced quo
tations, and there is undoehtedly a large "short" interest
outstanding, especially in five-twenties of 1862. which will
as.dst the upward turn. Holders of Government stocks
will do well to attach no importance to the utterances
of Mr. Sherman, nor yet to his bill, as there is no pceiti
bility of the ill-advised and discreditable scheme being
adopt, d. To-morrow the semi-annual interest on the ten.
forty 'asp will become payable, the amount being about
five millions.
Money became more active than for some weeks past
and the rate for call loans was advanced to six per cent..

firmness to the market but there is tre Probability of the

total of 92,845,0001e00. The currency had at the same

interest bearing notes, the temporary deposits and certifi
cates of indebtedneea to $192000.000 and the sus
pended requisitions to about 820,00,000, while the

of February last. What was done in the interval
between March, 1865, and the Ist of February in the
present year, is shown by a comparison of the state•

Ist ult. the funded debt had been increased to
$1,9.14,0e0 000, while the unfunded debt had been
reduced to $717,000,000, and the aggregate of the debt

WASHINGTON.
The Came Before the Supreme Court
Fron. Washington•
W4BIIINGTON ' March 2.—Several cases have
been argued in the Supreme Court of the United
States, involving the question of the constitu
tionality of the legal tender act. They
came upon appeals from the courts of
Kentucky, New York, California, Oregon
and the District of Columbia. They
are private cases, to which the government
of the United States is not a party. Some time
ogo, however,Attorney-General Stanbery, at the
request of the Secretary of the Treasurer, asked
the Supreme Court, if consistent with its sense of
propriety, to permit the United States to be
beard through him in support of the constitution
ality of the legal tender act.
the Court this morning announced the con
tinuation of all these eases till next term, with
leave for a general reargumelil If desired.
So the opinion concerning the constitutionality
of the legal tender act will not be delivered until
the next - December term.

On motion of Mr lloward (Riche, at half-paetl2 o'clock
the Senate proceeded to the consideration of the Im
peachment rule!, Mr. Anthony in the chair.
The thirteenth rule having been read, Mr. Drake (Mo.)
mered to odd the words "or any Senator," allowing them
to direct the reduction to writing of any motion.
Rule 20 having bee n read, Mr. Drake offered a ordeal
tote, providing that arguments on preliminary or inter
locutory questions should he allowed one hour in open
ing and 15 minutes in cloeing, one person to be beard on
each side.
Mr. Conkling said this, likr, many other questions, had
been left to the court. There was a practice in courts
Iv Fitch doubtless would he followed in this case.
Mr. Drake withdrew his amendment. -
Mr. Grimes (Iowa) moved to strike out the rule as nn
necessary. holding that it has. een a matter of cone ratu.
lrtiofi the' no such rule had ever been adopted by the
Penate. i shy person should abuse their patience. they
could make a nine to meet the case, but lie thought it
would not he necessary.
Mr. Edmunds Vt.) said the ticestion would apply to
all rules. This was a limitation that would commend
itself to the approval of all, and why not make it in ad
vence, so that no one could complain afterwards of their
changing their procedure? It would not affect one side
more than the other.
Mr. Grimes said in none of the four courts of impeach
ment hitherto held had there been any such limitation.
and there was no record that this privilege had been
abused. The whole question might tern en an interlocu
tory order, or the admission of a piece of testimony. It
might occur that inrush-case an appeal wonld be made
to them for an extension of the time of argument. Why
should they place themselves in the attitude of forbid
ding it in this case, which was the most important trial
ever took place in this country?
Mr. Edmue de said the Senator was inconsistent in ar
guing filet, that the rule was unnecessary, because the
power now existed. and second, that it should not be ex
ercised. The world had progressed since they were born;
and long discussions were entirely unnecessary. The
court did not Golfed( by this rule, and doubtlefe r when
'teems.] y, an extension of time would be unanimously
granted.
Mr. Buckalew (Pa.) said that while it was necessary to
have such a thing as the previous question In such a no
meroun body its the House of Representatives, ithad al
ways been held that it was anneceseary, here. It was so
because a party making unnecessary detention knew
therms would prejudice hie ease. No doubt it would be
thin this case.
Mr. Mouton (Ind.) said it was not intended to limit
Senators, but tbo counsel, and therefore, the policy of the
lienate.was not in question. He referred to the intermi
nable delays heretofore occurring in such trials, and said
they should take steps to prevent them •in this case, and
thus prevent the neglect of other important business. .
Mr.Eaulebury (Del.) alga deprecated any limitation of
debate in-the greateat-trialievet.beldin.thilr-OXibrYel`Na
trivial question was to come before them Every Palet .
should be fully argued by both sidee, and then the Ameri
can people would endorse them. Otherwise their judg
ment would not carry with it each commanding
weight.
Mr. (tinkling said the cause that impelled courts to
make such relee—the multiplicity of Muinees—abio ap.
plied here with great force. the counsel were not limited
in the impeachment in 18(S, but neither were they in the
State Courts or in the Supreme . Court. On one
occasion aman traveled to New York -and
hack while a counsel was speaking.
In England shout that time a trial lasted for ten years;
and Chesterfield Said that"the Lords walked but the trial
steed still " If a rule was established- there would be
nothing ungracious in insisting upon the rnie.which.when
neceseery, could be relaxed. They would then be con.
fanning to the practice of the Supreme Court, and the
highest judicial court in Christendom. •
Mr. Prelingouysen (N, J.) thought while there should he
some limit the time fixed was too short,and that it should
not be confined to one counsel. He moved to amend by
making it two hours for each come-el, and the extension
of the time to be applied for beforehand.

Mr. Kerr (Ind.) next took the Poor. Speaking of the
tenth article, he taid: That charge, had never been made
on ouch flimsy. such shadowy, such absolutely unsub
stantial testimony as that on which that article rested.
No fair-minded man could rise from its reading without
utter itstonistiment that it contained E 6 little. wits so tri:

the Douse. There was not enough in it to convict
white man, much lose a negro, of stealing an orange.

Mr. Cullom (Ill.) followed on the opposite side •of :the •
question, and argued that the President had, In , She re

himself to the pain, and penalties of impeachment. _
Mr. McCarthy (N. Y.) followed on the same side, elaint,
ing that when the President neglected to Bee that; the Wet
were faithfully executed. or assumed to perform. Surtil for
which there was no constitutional or legal sanction he wait
liable to impeachment. He argued that Mr. J'ohnsonts
policy of reconstruction was the usurpation of ismer-be
longing to Congress, and that in hie acts of granting par
dors and restoring property to rebels •he had, been in
league with treason and traitors. Ile claimed'that' the
removal of Secretary Stanton was a violation of therein,
of the. Constitution and thought that any further forbear
ance on the part o?Congreee would not be a virtue.
Ire charged Mr, Johnson with having sacrificed the
lives of Union men, persecuting loyalty,. and with press
ing like an incubus on every material interest of the
country. Nothing but his removal from power would

Mr. Lynch (Maine) followed on the same side. He said
it was tit,, proper
.and consistent that the. Democratic
party, which had,under the lead of Jefferson Davis,
attempted to regain political power by mesas et civil
war, should now seek the same end under the leadership
of Andrew Johneon by the more peaceful but more den
im roue method of usurpation.
Mr. Boyer (Pa.) asked Mr. Lynch whether he admitted
that this was entirely a party queetion.
Mr. Lynch declined to allow interruption and went on
to gay that tow nothing seemed to he constitutional but
tho relics of the rebellion, Andrew Johnson and. the
Democratic party. All else was unconstitutional
and must be out down. Referring to Mr. Brooks's appeal
to the bone and muscle of Ihe Democratic party, he said
that like appeals to - resist the government had been made
by the Democratic leaders during the war, and that the
gentleman's constituents had responded and had for deys
made the city of New York a scene ot violence and blood.
shed. ,
Ho bad never heard, however, that any'of those gentle
men had led them in tho tight. This accounts perhaps for
the fact that the Northern wing of the Confederate army
had been subjugated by the Metropolitan pollee and held
in qu iv t submission to the laws by the distinguished gen
tleman from Massachusetts (Butler), whose military
rowers those vallent gentlemen now affect to despise.
But he would give warning to the gentleman from New
York (Brooks) and to the gentleman from Pennsylvania
(W oodward) to beware how they undertook ) to 'range.
rate a second rebellion, because they might all into the
bands of an executive disposed to make treason not only
Odious but dangerous.
Mr. Ward (N. Y.) followed on the same side. He said
he would have been pleased if the articles of impeach
ment had presented some of the gave o ff ences which the
high offender bad committed. lie would have , been glad
to have seen him arraigned for usurpation of legislative
powers. He should be glad to have seen him arraigned
for the prostitution of the veto power,the pardoning pow - er
and power of appointment to office., but he bowed to the
superior wisdom of the committee that had reported these
articles.
The Preeident had openly and defiantly. In the teeth of
statute of the constitution, removed the . Secretary of
ar from office. That was tho first of his great offenees;
what else had he done? Ile had gone among the rubor
di eaten of the army and picked out his creature and big
tool. The Republican party had been forbearing with
that man ; it had waited and watched and hoped th
would conduct himself so as tenet force the House tore

But he had at last precipitated himself sealed law and
rearrest the Constitution,: he bad forced the Immo noon
