When the executive power in England finds a majority in Parliament opposed to it, resignation is the remedy recognized by authority of the Constitution. Therefore the continuance of the Disraeli Ministry, after defeated in the House of Commons by sixty-five majority, is declared to be uncon stitutional. The executive, according to all historical precedents, must yield to the legis lative power. The Tory ministers resist tali doctrine, just as the Copperheads resist it in this country. We have to resort to the ex veme measure of impeachment, to get rid of au obnoxious executive. But in England the Ministers defeated in Parliament must resign, and we cannot help regretting that there should not be some such necessity in this country, in a similar emergency. Mr. Disraeli, while not denying the consti tutional doctrine laid down by the Liberals, asks for time. He talks of an appeal to the new constituencies under the late reform bill. But the stronger party in Parliament object to this, and they evidently intend to employ their strength effectively and press matters to a resignation. Mr. Robert Lowe says that such a course as Mr. Disraeli proposes is un constitutional, and that it is "absurd for an executive and a legislature 'distrusting each •ther, to maintain a show of harmony until meat year." Mr. Bright says "An adverse vote is no disgrace to a ministry ; but to hold • :ice after such a vote is." These are sound views, the like of which are entertained by many goad men with respect to the govern ment of the United States, where the execu tive possesses a power that no modern Eng lish executive ever dared to assume. It is quite evident that the Liberals in Eng land, encouraged by their recent extraordi nary successes, are determined not to let the revolution which they have begun be check ed. Mr. Disraeli has disappointed many by his course. He is daily losing friends and votes. His short career as premier has been a failure ; but his weakness has been of such positive advantage to the Liberals, that they may regard his elevation as a most fortunate circumstance. He may be allowed to remain in office a little longer, so as to help his op ponents further. But he must at last yield and resign. CLEARING AWAY RUBBISH. The case of "all the people of the United. States" against Andrew Johnson, President,is a very simple and clear one. Presuming on the repeated acts of lenience on the part of Congress, and grown bold by experiences which should have made him cautious, An drew Johnson encroached more and more upon the powers of Congress and the Judi i ciary, until he crossed the fatal line of open transgression .of a known law, and brought himself fairly within the grasp of that offended majesty which he had so often and so cun ningly eluded. For very positive high crimes and misdemeanors, Andrew Johnson was arraigned before the Senate of the United States. The people, of all classes and conditions, understand the nature of his offences and demand his punishment. Those offences are of a character which demand conviction, not only for their own gravity, but because they prove before the world that the present Ex ecutive is wholly unfit for the office he holds, and is a fatal hindrance to the peace, pros perity and progress of the nation. In view of .the simplicity of the case, the President's defenders have resorted to all imaginable tactics. Every resource known to clever lawyers has been drawn upon to exhaustion. Every effort has been made to be-cloud the clearness of the issue; to lead the Senate and the people away from the truths embodied in the articles of im peachment. Every pitiful quibble which could be tortured into the service of the Pre aident has been resorted to. As the magician evokes mists and shadows to conceal his tricks, so the counsel of Andrew Johnson have culled all the nostrums of the law and solemnly burned them before the grave and learned fathers of the Senate. The Senate has sat, with such patience as it could command, and watched all this mummery. The Mana gers, confident, as they well may be, in the righteousness of their cause, have stood and regarded the performances of 'Nelson, Curtis, Groesbeck, Stanbery and the in terminable Evarts, very much as the ancient prophet must have stood all day on Mount Carmel, while the priests of Baal leaped and cried and cut themselves with knives, in their vain endeavor to work a miracle for which they had no real power. The whole purpose of this modern priesthood of the law has been to confuse the mind of the Senate, by the introduction of side-issues and by burying simple propositions under mountains of words. It falls to the lot of Mr. Bingham to clear away all this rubbish. It is not possible that any single Senator can have been deceived by the sophistries of the mixed and contradictory arguments and assertions of the defence. But it is none the less needful that all this rubbish shall be ut terly swept away, thatlttere may be , no place of refuge or concealment for a single Senator who may contemplate a betrayalbf the cause of justice. If Mr. Grimes or gr. Fessenden or Mr. Henderson are bent upon self-destruc• 1i4R13, they must be compelled to put on their gaiments of shame in the very blaze of noon day and before all the people. There can be to thickets of sophistry throo , : , ;11 which they way creep and• sneak to the camp of the enemies of their country. They inu4t, croi the open plain in the full sight of the wh9le world, "known and read of all men" as apostate and recreant to their highest and noblest duty. To this end, Mr. Bingham yesterday took up the work which Mr. Stevens began last week. Clearly, vigorously, unsparingly, he hews away the paltry undergrowth of bram bles and weeds with which the President's counsel have crowded the open path of law and truth and justice, and lets in the clear light again upon every point about which his adversaries have sought to gather their mists and shadows. It is a tedious and yet an easy task. It is no fault of Mr. Bingham's if the closing argu ment is a long one, since, it has been made necessary by the tactics of the President. All that be has to do is to strip the case of all the rubbish that has been heaped around it, and to leave it with the Senate, as the, Board of Managers brought it from the House. For this task Mr. Bingham is showing himself fully competent, and the country will owe him, as it owes to his colleagues, the award of grateful commendation for the masterly way in which he confronts the Senate with the plain and solemn responsibility which the Constitution and the country has entrusted PIS KIitICKISITI IN CONGRESS• Truth is said to be stronger than fiction, and by that token the famous scene at Mr. Bob Sawyer's party has been outdone in real life. In the story as it came from the hands of Dickens, Messrs. Noddy and Gunter, having first indulged in very decided personalities, subsequently agreed to consider it all in a Pickwickian sense, and they parted better friends than ever. The author• of Pickwick thus describes the wrangle : - - "Sawyer," said the scorbutic youth, in a loud voice. " Well, Noddy," replied Mr. Bob Sawyer. "I should be very sorry, Sawyer," said Mr. Noddy, "to create any unpleasantness at my friend's table. and much less at yours, Sawyer —very ; but I must take this opportunity of in forming Mr. Gunter that he is no gentleman." " And I should be very sorry, Sawyer, to create any disturbance In the street in which you reside," said Mr. Gunter, " but I am afraid I shall be under the necessity of alarming the neighbors by throwing the person who has just spoken out o' the window." "What do you mean by that, Sir ?" inquired Mr. Noddy. " What - I say, Sir," replied Mr. Gunter. " I should like to see you do it, Sir," said Mr. Noddy. "You shall feel me do it in half a minute, Sir, replitil Mr. Gunter. "'request that you'll favor me with your card, Sir," said Mr. Noddy. "ru 410 nothing of the kind, Sir," replied Mr. Gunter. " Why not, Sir ?" inquired Mr. Noddy. "Because you'll stick it up over your chimney piece, and delude your visitors into the false belief that a gentleman has been to see you, Sir," replied Mr. Gunter. Sir, a friend of mine shall wait on you in the morning," said Mr. Noddy. "Sir, I'm 'very much obliged to you for the caution, and I'll leave particular directions with the servant to lock up the spoons," replied Mr. Gunter. Mutual friends having interposed, Mr. Noddy "gradually allowed hie feelings to over,come him," and having declared that he had always entertained the profoundest feel ings of personal regard and affection for Mr. Gunter, both gentlemen shook hands with great.cordiality, and the lookers-on pfotested that the affair had resulted in a manner highly honorable to both parties concerned. If the reader will carefully peruse the de bates in Congress on Saturday and yesterday, and substitute Gunter for IVashbume and Noddy for Donnelly, he will realize the truth of the adage with which we set out. It was very well for the representatives from Illinois and Minnesota to retract the grossly offensive remarks they had indulged in during the de bate on Saturday, and their protestations of strong private regard for each other were better han a fresh torrent of Billingsgate or a war like visit to Bladensburg; but it would have been still better to have left unsaid what has been mended with so little real credit to either party. Speaker Colfax administers the rules of the House with as much intelli gence and firmness as has ever distinguished the Speaker's chair since the foundation of the Government. It is to be regretted that the rules are not sufficiently strict to prevent such exhibitions and thus save the country the disgrace of a scene of angry squabbling upon one day, to be followed the next day with maudlin regrets and Pickwickian pro testations of insincerity in the original use of coarse and foolish language. Upon the whole, it is as well for the credit of the country, in the eyes of posterity, that all , notice of these debates should be expunged from the official records. In after agesiwhen thoughtful men come to peruse the history of an era which was marked by the trial and deposition of a false President; by the struggles of a great people to repair the ravages of a gigaatip war, and when there were vast questions of finance and policy to be considered, the fact that two entire days had been wasted by the House of Representatives in a foolish and disgraceful quarrel, and in "hooking fingers and making,np,"would excite a feeling of surprise if not a sentiment of contempt and disgust for statesmen who thus belie their title, damage the public interests and bring dis credit upon themselves. THE NEW STATE TREASURER. Gen. W. W. Irwin yesterday assumed the responsible post of State Treasurer of Penn sylvania. In the selection of General Irwin the Legislature manifested an excellent dis crimination. Ile has already occupied several important public (Aces in this State, and has always manifested a degree of pa triotic energy, =impeached integrity and clear judgment which eminently qualify him for the post to which he has now been called. During the war he was one of Governor Cur tin's most efficient co=adjutors, both as a sagacious and reliable counsellor and in his official capacity as Commissary-General of the State. Under his administration there can be no doubt that the business of this im portant department of the State government will be conducted with ,fidelity, promptness and wisdom, and that his official career will amply vindicate the good sense exhibited by the Legislature in his selection. The retiring Treasurer, Mr. W. H, Nem ble, has tilled the office during three succes sive terms, a fact which is, of itself, sufficient to prove that his abilities have been fully re cognized and appreciated. Ile has been able, from time to time, to render important neivices to the State by sound practical sug gestions, and we know of no instance, ex cepting the unfortunate Belmont correa.

TIE PICTURES AT Soorfs.—A considerable proportion of the Aaron Shaw collection (expos ed day and night at Scott's Gallery,o.nd to be sold May 7th and Bth), is good. The best picture we think,is the 'Bosch, No. 38. called "No Ear for Music." It is low toned,but magnificently touched. In the second distance a Savoyard boy is grinding music, in a gateway leading to ono of a group of village gardens. Snow, in shadow, covers the ground. In front, a largo dog is howling, in competition with the in strument. Two subjects by Henriette Router, are spirited. The larger, 93, represents three dogs, harnessed to a a cart loaded with sand, and resting. The driver reposes against a tree behind. 'The other picture, 32, shows a single dog, pulling a vegeta ble cart. An intimacy with eaninti nature not of• Yen exceedtd is what gives life to these studies. Another manner of painting, but equally good, is revealed in 51, by Do Vos, of Courtray, the picture representing a Terrier and Rats. The manner would be easier to describe if the exam ple were on a larger scale. HOWever, we may point out that an equally fine expression of the furry hide is given by the broad; loaded brush of De Vos, as by the separate, almost • pen-and-ink tenches of Madame Renner. 97. Newhause, a Paris painter, who imitates the style of John Lewis Brown, has a good hunting scene. The horses are capital, and the general tone soft and harmonious. W. T. D. Van Starkenborgh and J. N. T. Van Starkenborgh, of Diisseldorf, lately of this city, exhibit large canvases of considerable merit. The former, the animal painter, contributes a correct, decorous group of cattle, No. 96. His brother, In No. 42, depicts the Baanentbal, a good Dusseldorf Swiss view with • the regulation chalet, pines, snow-peaks, Sze., all as well painted as we usually see in that class. The home painters are pretty fairly repre• sentcd. Hamilton has his "After the Storm,' No. 83. Edward Morah, an active representa tion of waves assaulting a rocky coast. Wyant's "Little Miami," 35, is sunny and agreeable. George Bensell's "Mountain Scenery," 88, with waterfalls of all colors, and centrifugal pines shooting about like ice-crystals, looks like a bit of scene painting for a thunder-and-lightning drama. Sheridan Young'sjaudscapeti are painted in what is called auction ityle. Death of Commodore Ilidg Commodore Daniel B. Ridgley, of the United States Navy, died at noon to-day at the St. Law rence Hotel, in this city, of bilious pneumonia. Commodore Ridgley was born in Kenthcky, and received his appointment from that State. lie" entered the navy April Ist, 1828, and has bees upon active duty during a larger part of his term of service. He was attached to the blockading squadron during the late war, and was through out that contest a thoroughly and heartily loyal man. His residence was in Baltimore, but he was here upon duty at the time of his death. STECK di CO.'B,AND HAINES BROTHERS' EV Pianmand Mason tr. Handin'e Cabinet Organ, J. E.

Mr. Donne. (Front the Newark Adverther of the 4th.) Mr. Editor:-1 had hoped that the Informal ex planation In your columns of a startling para graph, beaded "Alicged Religions Abduction," would have been sufficient; but it seems that it was not, at least with one member of the com- Inunity,and who wrote to you on Saturday even ing, who may perhaps represent others. This being the case, I'Must ask you to publish the fol lowing simple statement. Ido not intend to en ter into any controversy on the matter, but simply to state what I did,and why I did it. My conscience not only acquits me of all blame, but would, condemn me If Ihad acted other wise. I abuply did ' duty, and ender simi lar circumstances ohonid do the same again. 'WHAT I DID. Some weeks ago the friends of Mary A. Smith s Z:Juie to see me, telling me that she was giving them a good deal of uneasiness; that she was neglecting her religious' duties, being out late at nigh s, keeping company - of which they disap proved, and that the persons with whom she lived were tempering with her faith. I told them to sce her and ask her to come a and see me. This they attempted to do. but she refused to see them. I then advised thein to get a writ of habeas corpus and gave them a note for that purpose to Judge ' Teeee. The Judge replied that he had not the power to issue a writ of this kind, and refer red the friends to Judge Depue. They called upon,Judge Depue, but ho was out of town, and would not , be back for a day or two. In the meantime the child paid a visit to her aunt, Mrs. Daniel Carrolten, in Lock street, and she sent me word that she was there. I went up to see her, and found her very headstrong, and untruth frd., Among other things she positively denied having had anything to do with any religious body other than her own. Finding her in. this state, and knowing tt so as she was under the influence under w ha hich lon he was, it would be hopeless to attempt to reclaim her, I advised her father to take her to the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, in New York which he did the follow ing day. Wlllt I DID. IT. I advised this course becaase, as I have stated above, I knew it was useless to try and do any thing with her while she was under the influences under which•she would be while in Newark, with persons whose motives I de, not with to question, as they, no doubt, thought they •Were doing a charity to the girl, but Whose acts' I mast con demn, who were alienating her from her friends, and from her faith. Really, if anybody has been trying tb.proielytize, it is they, and- uot ' we and the cap on the wron g .I,linew that in • the House of the . Goo Shepherd the would be Indly treated, instructed in her • duties, and taught a trade by which - she could afterwards sup- . hort herself. The eiders of the Good Shep erd,. Who were established in' France many years ago, and who have , houses in , Moat of our Urge cities, and whose worth and usefrdnese are teognized by all who know them, whether 'Bretastiffs Quiet. Catholic or Pro Ketof dovpsek, thetpuselves.to the fefortnitineibt pdektilin'lvho liftird abandoned the path of virtue, and to' the preservation of others who show a dispoisition to evil, and the correction ou.diactiediesit an , ;Incorrigible chit. dren. Of both elatiett. they have at present, in their housu 'New' , Yorki tor soursei kept entitelY dititinct: haVec visited the child since she went there, and found ,her well pleased with Ste Sisters, and , the Sisters in hopes that she would profit by their care and advice. I need hardly add that all stories of unkind or harsh m treatnsent'aansolntely false. - Really it seems to me that this matter le being carried a little too far, the peophrof Newark be ing led to believe that some , friglatful act or in justice has been committed under the direction of a "priest," when a Catholic father has simply re moved his child from what be considered danger ous Influences, and placed her in what is nothing more than a Reformatory School. I offered the other day through you to give any respectable person a note of introduction to the Sisters, but :no onebas applied for it. It seems to me that btfore any one else interferes in this matter, they bad better Inforni themselves thoroughly about It, or otherwise let it alone. My motive before for requesting you to correct the statement that had been made, editorially, was by no means an unwillingness to be known as the 'priest" who had been spoken, of, bat to avoid controversy, for which I have no time; but as your correspondent seems to inisinnate that I have been endeavoring to keep= in the back ground, for purposes of my own, I subscribe my name to this simple statement of facts.

The Impeachment Trial. Medal Despatch to the Philadelphia L i vening Bulletin. l • WASHINGTON, May 6. Mr. Bingham corn_ menced by stating that no one in office or out of office is above the law.- The President and the humblest citizen are alike subject to It. How can it be held then that there is no criminality in the President's violating the express provisions of the Constitu tion and the acts of Congress? What la the de fence? Lack of criminal intent. There is no authority for assuming that criminal intent must be shown. The violation of the law is itself criminality, and innocent intent cannot be plead. Least of all can the prosecution be required to go behind the illegal act, to prove the intent with which it was committed. Who can go into the brain or the heart of man and bear witness what it medi tates? Men are judged by their acts, and their acts are taken aS showing what they meant to do. When Strafford was tried before the assembled majesty of England the same plea was made. He read from the words of Pyne, in regard to that plea, that evil conduct producing evil consequence, especially public actions intended to subvert laws and to prejudice good government,couid not be justified by good intent. Little children were once put to death for the reason that they would, at once, go to Heaven. But the perpetrator of the crime was not allowed to go free for that reason. This defence is unworthy of further consideration. If the murderer of Abraham Lincoln had not been cut down where be stood, should we not have encountered this plea on his behalf, that he acted with a good and honest intention? He ought to ask the par don of the Senate for dwelling so long on an ar gument so frivolous. If the President has violated the express law of the land he la therefore a criminal. Mr. Bingham then proceeded to the inquiry as to whether the President had violated the con stitution in the removal of Secretary Stanton. Mr. Evarts, who was not in Court yesterday, again appeared at the counsel's table this after noon. ' ['CORRESPONDENCE OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. I WASHINGTON, May foth.—Mr. Cameron moved that the members of the medical association new in this city be Invited to occupy seats in the gal lery without tickets, saying there were about two hundred. Mr. Drake objected on the ground that any one could come in under this arrangement, and they should be previded with tickets if admitted at all. Mr. Cameron's motion was then disagreed to. Mr. Bingham then resumed his argument. After recapitulating his arguments of yesterday he took up the question of whether or not it is necessary In this case to prove evil intent. He read from the records of English State trials to show that suck proof Is not needed, and alluded to an instanee where a certain English king had put some little children to death in or der to send them to Heaven, as an example of the absurdity of the President's plea. He would not argue the point, because it was plainly set tled by common law and practice for centuries. The arguments of the counsel on this question were puerile and unfit to be uttered in the pres ence of the Senate. • From lilluxhington. WAsimoron, May s.—lt has heretofore been Stated that the Committee of Ways and Means has appointed a subcommittee to take into con sideration the revision of the tariff. The report prevails to-day that the committee is considering a proposition to give instructions to the sub committee to make a provision by which to sup ply the deficiency in the revenue, caused by the exemption of manufacturers from tax, as pro vided In the internal revenue bill passed during the present session. From• Chicago. CHICAGO, May s.—The Conference assembled at the usual hour. Bishop Clark in the 'chair. The session was largely occupied in the presen tation of memorials, petitions and remonstran ces, mostly on the subject of lay representation. At 10 o'clock the order of the day being the Episcopal address, that document was read by Bishop Simpson. It is a very able paper, touch ing most of the interests of the denomination. Its reading was listened to with great interest. Arrival of Steamers. NEW YORK, May s.—The steamship Virgo, from Havana and Vera Cruz, and the Colorado, from Liverpool, have arrived. THE COURTS.

QUARTER Sirssioxs—Judge Peirce:—Desertion cases were taken up this morning. QUARTER SEssioNs—Judge Allison.— John Burns was put on trial, charged with assault and battery upon David 'Whitfield. The case grew out of an occurrence at a fire on the 11th of July last, when Mr. Whitfield, who was driving the steam engine America, was struck by some missile, which it is alleged that the defendant, a member of the Northern Liberty Hose, threw in order to prevent him getting ahead of his company. Mr. Whitfield alleges that ho recognized the defendant as the man who threw the missile, but the defence called two witnesses who alleged that they were with him, and he did sot throw'. Jury out. Patrick McGrath was charged with committing so assault and battery upon Henry Sohi. The prosecutor alleged that ho was assaulted by the defendant because ho refused to join "a strike," but persisted in taking work from the shop where the scale of prices did not suit the defendant. The defence denied that McGrath was the man who struck the blow. On trial. /he Case of Colonel Nophogyl. • IProm Ole N. Y. 'limes of to.day.l The care Or COL 0.

A Horrible Tragedy in Indiana. The Impeachment' Tried. [Special Deevatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] Wnsii iNGToN, May s.—This question has been adroitlyttreated by the opposing counsel They have, regarding some of its features, remem bered the wise words that "silence is golden." That the President "shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make appointments," means nothing, if the President may make such appointments alone. The Constitution allows Congress to vest the appointment of such inferior officers as it sees fit in the President alone or in the heads of Departments. Congress is allowed by law to vest appointments in the heads of Departments alone. The Counsel cannot get rid of their client. He is condemned by his answer, in which he declares that he did make the indefinite removal of Mr. Stanton, and appointed another to exercise the function of head of that Department ad interim. The President claims the right to make appointments by virtue of implied unwritten powers. Therels no escaping the logical conclusion that this, if conceded, gives him the sole control of all offices for unlimited periods,' that is, it makes him su preme. : Mr. Bingham read from Mr. Johnson's answer, to show what his claim was. No such power as this was lodged in the President nor intended to be lodged. To claim and exercise it would furnish ample grounds for impeachment. What a revolution the advent of a new President would cause were he the sole disposer of all the oilicee This is ex pressly guarded against by our Constitution. In support of this view he read from. Hamilton and Webster. The language of the 'President's answer claims the right to make indefinite ap pointment; and, if for months or years, of what use is the restriction, that the appointing power shall be vested jointly in the President and the Senate? What answer can be given to the inter pretations of Hamilton and Webster? Nothing. but a reference to the debates on the law of 'B9 and on the formation of the Constitution. There was of course a difference of opinion on these occasions. We are not unadvised as to that. Those debates anterior to the enactment of the laws in question cannot be cited to prove the Constitution. The claim in support of which such arguments aro pat forward is that the Executive shall have unlimited power of removal and the right to fill offices for any length with irresponsible minions of his own. The act of 1889 separated the power of removal from the power of appoint menL It was a grant of power to the Executive to be existing during the recess of the Senate; Even under that act no pretension of the power to make removals and appointments daring ;he session of the Senate could be founded. No Belch claim was ever made before. Pickering'a case, which has been cited here, shows this; but if it showed contrary, and that' the elder Axialas, under the act of 'B9 had a right to. Make the re moval and appointment without the consent of the Senate, does that prove that the same power exists under a different statute, which is framed expressly to prevent it, and which repeals the act of 'B9. But the dates show that Mr. Adams claimed no such power. The removal and notice of appointment to the Senate aro simultaneous. What the power of the President really is is shown by the Constitu tion, which provides that he may fill vacancies occurring during the recess and issue commis sions, to expire at the commencement of the next session. Long lists of removals and appoint ments were brought in here. They were justified by the then existing laws under which they wore made, which laws no longer exist. 11 this clause of the Constitution means;then as it reads, that would give them power to review this pro cess of impeachment. These powers are only granted, subject to limitation of the Constitution. The Legislative power is conferred in the same way. Enactments of the Legislature are valid anti binding upon the Executive until expressly set aside,upon a case properly brought before it, by the Supreme Court. . LCOEHEBPONDENCE OF THE ASSOCIATEH PRES9.I leontinu9d. from• Third EdIHOLI.J. He then iiTeni - TeCiliziiii73 question of the power of the President to 1111 vacancies created by him self during sessions of the Senate, and insisted that the fact of the intimate connectioh of the powers of appointment with that of the removal had been studiously kept out of sight by the adroit counsel opposing him. He went on to argue with reference to all the provisions bearing on the subject, that the right to appoint Cabinet officers without the consent of the Senate was nowhere granted to the Presidenti,by the Con stitution. It could not be alleged that ho merely idled a vacancy by a temporary appointment, for his letter of authority appointed General Thomas' for an in definite time. To show that It was not among, the President's implied powers under the Constitution to vacate and fill offices without the consent of the Senate, he read from the wri tings of Hamilton and Webster, and further maintainedthat the speeches of Mr. Sherman and other Senators were not susceptible of the meaning put on them by the opposite counsel. In regard to the debates of 1789, be contended that too much weight was given to the utterances of 'partisan debaters at that debate, but also argued that the power of removal granted to the President in 1789 was restricted by subsequent legislation. He held, also, that President Adams removed Pickering before the Senate met, although it was on the same day, and the record was not clear. He asked of what avail would be the provision of the Constitution limiting the power to fill va cancies during the recess of the •Senate to the issue of commissions to expire at the beginning of the next session, if the President could create vacancies at will during the sessions of the Senate. Mr. Bingham challenged the citation of any law or sec tion of the Constitution which would limit the tirms of officers thus appointed by the President. By such appointments be could keep men in ofllce stints pleasure without regard to the Con stitution. On;this subject and on the question of wi,nt are the limitations of the Executive power, Mr. Bingham cited numerous legal authorities and quoted from speeches of Mr. Webater. With regard to the President's defence that he sought to test the validity of the Tenure-of-office law, ho asserted that there has never been a clear unequivocal decision of the Supreme Court against the constitution= Billy of the law of Congress, and held it was only a bold potence of the President to take upon himself a responsibility which the Court itself had never assumed. The presumption was altogether in favor of the law's validity. 'fo admit his , pos session of a discretionary and judicial prerogative would be to' clothe the creature with power superior to the power which created him, and would enable him at klleasure defy the will of ,the, people, the Constitution and the laws. Alluding to an expression of Mr. Evarts,he denied baying claimed the omnipotence of Congresa.. 'He regarded that body equally with the President the servant of the people, but neither Congress nor the Judiciary are answer able to the piteeetive. Ho would -make no fur— ther answer , to the clamor of the learned gantio man on this:point; but must repel his charges on, the Rouse of 'Representatives astitiavlog brought 'on or originated 'impeachment in party hate,and sg sleet the Senate for having expressed an opin e ion on the subject which they were atter- 3:15 O'Ciook. wards to judge. It was their duty express that opinion, for they were to try the President in an, entirely different ca pacity. He then recited three laws which the President " was.. charged with •having violated, and claimed that it had been already shown that these violatione were impeachable-- offences: He quoted Kent to Show that mal administration in office was also a ground for impeaehnfent, .4' • - He held that it was entirely immaterial whether or not the articles iverepassed in the technical form of an indictment. - Every child 1010* - 'lhal' his offence was assumption of power to judge of the validity of laws for himself and to obey theme or not at his pleasure, and It was not too mtich to, say that a bolder piece of effrontery.: wafr. never before known. He held that the elaborate argument of the counsel to prove that the law of. 1863 did not repeal the act of 1789, admitted that it was in the power of Congress to deterthine the tenure of offices, and that the subject ,was not determined by the Constitutionality of the pro vision, and proceeded to comment on the act of 1867 in order:to show that it was, clear turd ex- elicit in its terms. Referring to Senator Sherman's remarks, two. he would consent to the removal of a cabinet offi cer who should he so eestitnte of honor as to re fuse to resign when requested bythe Senate, Mr. Bingham said the remark was natural at that time; for circumstances had not then devel oped the malignity and dangerous intentions of the President ; besides, the expression showed that the consent of the Senate was necessary. No One doubted, at that time, that Stanton came within the provisions of the act. XLth Congress—second floiston. WASHINGTON, May 5. Horeb.—The Speaker announced the following as the Select Committee to investigate the charge against Mr. 'lgnatius Donnelly, cotitained in the letter and remarks of Mr. Elihu B. Washburne Mr. Banks, of Massachusetts; Mr. Thomas, of Maryland; M r . Pound, of Vermont; Mr. Gris wold, of New York; Mr. Bides, of Maine ; Mr. Woodward, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Beck, of Kentucky. Mr. Dawes (Mass.), at the request of his col league, Mr. Butler, offered the following, viz.: That the select committee ordered by the House on yesterday be also charged, under the authority given them, with the investigation of the rdlega gallons made on Friday by the member from New York (Mr. Brooks), in the words following: "Sir, the honorable gentleman from Massachu setts will never forgive me because I extorted from him, or was the means of extorting from him here and through' the Courts in New York, • s6o_ooo,which he had oxtortedfrom aNew Yorker in New Orleans when he had command there—a sum of m nay which be was obliged by the Cony to of New York to pay back, not exactly in the gold which he appropriated in New Orleans when it was at 280, but in paper as legal tender. It is because of this act of mine upon the floor of this House when be was a commanding general and ae a public man exposed his acts here, that I am as sailed as I have been here to-day, and upon other occasions elsewhere." Which allegations, if true, with the innendoea with which they were made, ought to affect the position of the member charged, and if the charge is false and not known to be true by the mem ber making it, the House may take such order as may be necessary and proper to protect mem bers of the House from faille charges. The Speaker ruled that this was a question of privilege, as it affected the character of a mem ber of the House. Mr. Brooks (N. Y.) said he should not object to the consideration of the resolution at this , time, provided he could have an amendment ex tending the limit of the investigation. Mr. Davis replied that the gentleman could pre sent his proposition as a separate matter. Mr. Brooks preferred that it he added to the pendinie resolution. The Speaker gave notice that business would be transacted after the members of the House re turned from the Senate. It is understood that Mr. Brooks wishes to investigate the truth of the assertion of Mr. But ler, in the debate on Friday, that he was applied to by Mr. Clarke to conduct the suit against the' Brooks Brothers, of the New York Express. Mr. Schofield offered a resolution that the same number of copies of the report of W. beyalor, on the subject of gold and silver mining, printed for the use of the House as were ordered of the reports of J. Ross BrOwne,on the gold and silver mining of the Pacific States, and that the said reports be bound together. Referred to the Com mittee on Printing. The House then accompanied the Impeachment Managers to the Bar of the Senate. Herrible Tragedy. CiNennvAll, May 5.—A despatch to the Co mercial, from Delaware, Indiana, says .• that on Sunday, while three boys, sons of Henry Eoge, were out in a field together, a difficulty arose , between them, when the oldest mashed the heads • of the younger brothers with an axe, killing onp outright and leaving the other near dead.
