Tuckday, nay 5, 1869,
THE CRISIS IN ENGLAND.
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.

pondence, when his policy has not been
heartily endorsed and approved by the good
sense, not only of the Legislature, but of the
business community generally.
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.

The .111eligions Abduction in Newark—
Card from Nev. 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

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.

MAY 4.--W WO 1 'ongrese le imueaching the President
for violation of law, it is not out of place to bring before
it. 110tiee the fact Met the Secretary of the Treasure is
guilty ' f ignoring an act of Cangrene that directly affects
the Government credit. len February 25, Oa Cougreee
pureed "Au act to authorize the 108110 of United Mates
Ote-c, end for the redemption and funding thereof, and
for funding the floating debt of the United Stare: , which
authorized the issue of the live bemired miner of the
Pituty bonde of 1e62, aud contained the following
elallYV m to the mode in which the gold coin received
by GOrtrnio ent a as to be applied:
"First—To the payment in rein of the interest on the
bonds and De t, sOl the inited Metes.
"Second—To the purchase or payment of one per mitten
of the entire debt of tie United istatee, to be made within
each fiscal year after the first day of filly, 1861 which ie
to be set apart as a sinking fund. and the interest of
which shall in like manner be applied to the purchact
or
pay meet ot the public debt, as the Secretary of the Tree,
eury shall rom time .o time direct."
TIM, law has been violated by Secretary McCulloch
wit hem even the pretext of an excese,for the Government
hers bad n surplus of gold each fiscal yetis more than guile
cieet to carry out the letter and erdritof this act of Con
gress. The avowed object of this clause in the act
was to give solidity and strength to Government
credit by the establishment of an annual sink
ing fund to extinguish the public debt gradnally.
'1 Ids clause was. in point of fact, a solemn pledge
given to the creditors of Government that the value of
the bonds veldeti that act authorized to be placed urein
the market ehouid be euppotted end enhanced by an an
noel eppropriation of cue per cent In coin of the entire
debt of the United Stater, which should be applied
within every fiscal year "to the purchase or payment of

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. •

missile, which it is alleged that the
defendant, a member of the Northern Liberty

and he did sot throw'. Jury out.
Patrick McGrath was charged with committing
so assault and battery upon Henry Sohi. The

THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
MR. BINGHAM'S ARGUMENT.
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
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

the laws. Alluding to an expression of Mr.
Evarts,he denied baying claimed the omnipotence

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. At the
approach of the father the oldest boy ran to the
barn and hung himself.
