44 . NE W YORK IN ADVANCE.”
Under this caption the New York World
reads the Philadelphia Age w homily upon
the moral, social and political supremacy of
New York over Philadelphia. It appears
that the Copperheads, of this city are not con-,
tent that the Copperheads of the Manhattan
Club should assume the control of their poli
tics and ignore the claims of the Keystone
Club and the Democratic Association of
Philadelphia.. It is eminently edifying to
read the World's catalogue of New York's
virtues contrasted with the black list of Phila
delphia's sins. According to this interesting
and veracious authority, Philadelphia,
for the last seven years, has been
the seat of "Radical intolerance of
the most stolid and malignant type." This
`that
even went so, far,saya the World,
that gentlemen gave
_evening parties which
they confined to men of "unwavering loyalty
to the Government and support of all the
measures for the suppression of the rebel
lion 1" But horrible as this was, it was not
all. Philadelphia gave McClellan but "a faint
and feeble support." In Philadelphia "her
most eminent and accomplished citizens"
/this means the Ingersolls) were "brutally
beaten and lawlessly imprisoned for defending
themselves." In Philadelphia, the bread was
taken "out of the mouths of eminent profes
sional men" on account of their politics. (This
means Wm. B. Reed & Co.) In Philadelphia,
"the libels of Bancroft on the honored dead
of Pennsylvania" (this means William B.
Reed's grandfather) "are read with especial
unction." In Philadelphia, even James Bu
chanan was repudiated. In. Philadelphia
"Union Leaguism had its root," while
"Shoddy, in its most offensive form, reigned
supreme."
Under such a terrible lead of crimes as all
this, it is a mercy that Philadelphia has not
been swallowed up by an earthquake, or
overwhelmed like the "cities of the plain."
And then, it is not only in what Philadelphia
has done, but in what she has not done, that
she is left so hopelessly in the back-ground
by New York. Behold the shining roll of
New York's honors. During this very same
period in which Philadelphia has been given
over to all the horrors and degradation of
"unswerving loyalty," her neighbor "has
been true to Democracy ' and constitutional
liberty." This refers to the supremacy of
Dead Rabbitism in the politics of that city.
"New York did not condescend to social ter
rorism." This is a delicate allusion to the
riots of 1863, when loyal men had to convert,
their dwellings into garrisons, and defend
their, lives as best they could from
the raging Dethocratic mob. Shoddy
is unknown in New York. There, all is
tirristocratic, refined, ennobled and pure.
While the World "distrusts the fidelity of
Philadelphia to her own men," it feels as
sured that New York will ever be proud of
)er Woods, her Morrisseys, her Brookses,
her Koffman, her Seymours, and whoever
did or said anything during the rebellion to
help it on, or to binder "the measures for its
suppression,"
We hope the Democrats of Philadelphia
will now be content to take back-seats, as
they are ordered to do. We hope they will
feel how far short they have come, in
the race of disloyalty and treason.
It is true that their opportunities
have been somewhat limited, as compared
with their brethren of New York. They had
all the disposition to promote the rebellion,
*ply wanting the power. They were al
lowed very little chance in a community so
utterly givep over to a "stupid and malig
nant" loyalty, as was Philadelphia. The in
tiderant devotion to law and order which
governed onr , people, kept them down with a
strong band. New York should not be hard
on them. They did all the harm they could
or dared do, and New York ought to take
the will for the deed. Indeed, there were
instances, here and there, where
they did more than New York. They tried
to burn the Union League house, while no
torch was ever applied to the palace on
Union Square. They glorified and toasted
Jeff. Davis at their dinner tables. They pro
duced a Reed and O'Vaux; they cherished
Ingersolls,
Whartons and Woodwards. They
organized anti-war and anti-draft meetings,
and worked hard to cripple and thwart the
Government in all the dark days of the rebel
lion. They had their pulpits, from which
came weekly thunders, denouncing the woes
of Heaven upon the heads of all who
wickedly fought or worked for the preserva
tion of the Union.
New York is ungrateful. The Copper
heads of Philadelphia did all that could fairly
be expected of them, and if, as the World
says, they have sent a "seedy type" of dele
gates to the National Convention, it should
be remembered that the Democracy of Phila
delphia grows in an uncongenial soil and in
• an unwholesome atmosphere. Their hearts
are as true to the Southern cause as the fattest
and heat-conditioned Copperhead of New
• —York., and could they but have been favored
with similar opportunitles,tee rebellion would
have found as efficient allies here as it did in
the great city of Gotham itself.
The Work/ article is written or inspired
by a native Philadelphian Copperhead. It
talks about a "large-hearted citizen" of Penn
sylvania, "Judge Parker." The Philadelphia
amateur editor of the World doubtless wrote
"Packer," as there is no Judge Parker in this
State, but the New York editor was not suffi
ciently acquainted with the theme or the
manuscript to correct' the typographic blun-
AM. The article bears the ear-marks of the,
recluse of Chestnut Hill, hithself. Its delicate
allusions to the "honored dead" whom Ban
croft "libels,"and to the "eminent professional'
men" who lost their bread and'butter by their
disloyalty, savor strongly of the "personal
and professional friend" of Jefferson Davis.
And this theory is strengthened by the fact
that it abuses Philadelphia,•' and' turns
upon its own political friends.
If it Is not the product of Mr. Reed's" own
pen, it is, at least, a very clever imitation of
his style. It is a family squabble, with
which Republicans have nothing, particular
to do. But when we see our afflicted fellow
citizens berated in this way by their more fa
vored brethren of New York, we cannot but
feel disposed to say a word in their behalf.
HOW TO DO 111T1
The French are an ingenious people and
good managers, and they sometimes bring.
about desired results in a way that no other
people upon the face of the earth would think
of. Thus, when mobs of females were raised
in Paris during the time of the Consulate, the
termagants, presuming upon the unwilling
ness of men to fire upon women, marched up
to the muzzles of the government cannon and
snapped their fingers in the faces of the grim
musqueteers, while they stripped the tenter
hooks of the butchers and made short work
of the loaves and rolls in the baker shops of
the Faubourg St. Antoine. But Napoleon
discovered a way of outwitting the. Amazons,,
and finding that they cared nothing for •• fire
which they did not taste, he determined to try
the effect of water which they should feel. He
accordingly had the fire-engines brought out
on the occasion of' the next riot and the
female rowdies finding themselves deluged
with water, beat a hasty and an ingloriously
draggled retreat. Under the government of
"the nephew of his uncle," water is also used
for a polka purpose. On the occurrence 'of
a conflagration in Paris (a rare event in the
French capital) the police and firemen 'take
charge of the burning property,:and as both
are under the same strict discipline,there is no
needless fuss nor racket made over the work
they are bent upon. But the French descen
dents of Mother Eve have their full share of
curiosity, and in spite of strict police regu
lations, loiterers will gather about the fire
ground. The idler, whether he be a perfum
ed exquisite or a ragged gamin, is at once set
to work at pursing buckets, and as the police
suffer no shirking of duty, the temporary
fireman generally gets enough of it at the
first fire, and he usually gives the vicinity
of the next conflagration a wide berth. This
hint is worth making a note of. One of the
greatest evils that our Philadelphia Fire
Department is afflicted with, and one that
seems to defy successful cure, is the gathering
of swarms of idlers, thieves, pickpockets and
zufflans around the immediate vicinity of a
fire. These hangers-on are always greatly in
the way, and too many of them are bent on
mischief. Remonstrance goes for naught;
ropes stretched across the streets have not
been a success, and the cordons of police that
are so often talked about are myths so far as
practical service is concerned. If a Bucket
branch of the Fire Department were to be,
established, and if the police would press
every idler into the bucket-passing ranks,
and make him stay there until the fire was
out, it would have a wholesome effect, parti
cularly if it were so arranged as to have the
buckets leak pretty badly. ' One good, long
bucket-passing siege, particularly of a right
cold night, would be apt to temper the curi
osity of the most inveterate haunter of fire
grounds. The hint is worthy of the.conside
ration of Chie Engineer McCusker and the
Committee on Fire and Trusts.
ABOU'i NAMES.
Names are given to persons for the pur
pose of axing their identity, but that this end
is not always successfully accomplished is
painfully manifest to every delver into his
tot y. Where families have achieved distinc
tion through the talents of some individual
member, or through success in securing place
and honors, the name is handed down from
generation to generation, and successive Wil
liam Pius, Roger Shermans and Henry Clays
follow each other greatly to the gratification
of the lovers of family nomenclature, but to
the sore perplexing of the historical student.
But there has been a great reform in this re
spect_ within the past. century, and the
current generation is showing a more prac
tical realization of the necessity for clearly
distinctive nanits than was evinced by those
who preceded it. It is a curious fact that
"middle letters," which afford so convenient
a means of fixing identity, were scarcely used
until the present century. Of the fifty-six
signers of the Declaration of Independence,
but three,to wit: Robert Treat Paine; Francis
Lightfoot Lee and Richard Henry Lee, bad
more than the single Christian name. Of the
sixty-five members of the Constitutional Con
vention of 1787, there were but five who had
"middle letters" to their names; while of the
fifteen Presidents of the Continental Congress
who held office from 1774 to 1788, not one
had a "middle letter."
The contrast between the past and the pre
sent, in this respect, is very clearly shown
by examining a list of the members of the
Fortieth Congress. Of. the . fifty-four mem
bers of the Senate, thirty-five have middle
letters; while of the one hundred-and-sixty
one members of the House no less than one
hundred-and-eleven have the extra initial.
These facts prove a more intelligent appre
ciation of the value bf clearly distinctive
names than was shown by our fathers, and
where the alphabet is free to select from and
"middle names" are plentiful, there is no ex
cuse for setting adrift upon the tide of time
individuals with no more clearly defined
identity than the patronymic of "John
Smith," and with no more accurately defined
appellation than "long-nosed John Jones,"
"short , John Jones,"• or "John Jonea
of the War office." The present generation
has run into the drivel of spoiling beautiful
names by converting Mary into "Mamie,"
Eliza into "Lidey," and Sarah into "Sadie."
There is a recompense for this too-prevalent
silliness in the fact that middle names are
,now abundantly bestoived, and', that indiVia
uals of the rising generation will call their pa
rents blessed for relieving them from the awfr,i
wardness of bearing .a name that le common
to fifty other People.
EVENING
The Academy of,Fine
of one of their Academicil
of procedure which wat► :wel
went. Within the frames let
calf itiation of the artist, they'
—a little too large—stating that such and such a
picture, after being placed in position by the
Hanging Committee, had been removed or cov
ered up by the artist, whom they named. This
excessively candid statement of the quarrel has
now been placarded in three galleries, of the
Academy for almost a weekend ahalf. The time
hall fully come to lower the posters and replace
the empty frames. The dignity of the corpora
lion will now lose by every day in which the poor
scandal is thus made a boast of.
THE PICTURES AT SCOTT'S.— We commenced
yesterday a notice of the pictures exposed at
Scott's Gallery, being the collection of Mr. Aaron
Shaw,an amateur who disperses his art-treasures
upon leaving for "Europe. It remains to bestow
sonic attention upon a few interesting examples
not then alluded to, notably the group of Eng
lish landscapes, which represent a school high in
favor in the last generation with a certain class
of collectors, and now as viluable to the antiqua
rian as formerly to the art-lover. The Bedding
ton, No. 47, is a minute, finished, somewhat me
tattle landscape, representing Tally-liyn, in North
Wales. The cry stal waters of the lin wash their
banks of deep and brilliant turf, while the trees,
industriously foliated, shine in the light filtering
through a dappled sky; the characteristic lines
of the Welsh hills, defined in a contrasted effect
of light and gloom, crown the scene. There aro
not often to be found examples of this deceased
landscapist more industriously worked up, after
his lights.
The Shayer family contribute a few of their
country and coast scenes. Chas. and H. F. Shayer
together fabricate a pleasing and thoroughly
English pastoral scene, in which cattle have
come down to the watering, at a purling Devon-
Shire brooklet fringed with pollards and beeeheS.
William Shaper, senior, is represented by two
large and spud panels of mahogany, covered
with representations - of coast scenery. In the
best of the pair, No. 46, a few fishing boats have
run up into an inlet to unload, their finny booty
lying on the shore, to which a cart, drawn by a
white horse, has been sent for the Cargo. is,
ifyou like, the first part of Enoch Arden, with
"Enoch's white horse," and the inauguration of
that apical huckstering career which was tearing
all our heartstrings two or three years ago. This
picture, as well as the other fishing-subject, 94,
"Isle of Jersey," Is in the artist's earlier and most
painstaking manner. The peculiar way in which
these human figures are finished, the broad,
spreading, diaphanous surface of Mulready and
Constable, is the shibboleth of a class, and was
high in favor with (at least landscape) artists,
until Wilkie came in with better anatomy and
more solid modeling.
No. 14, "The Cottage. Beauty," is by H. An
drews, another Londoner. No. 43, by Tenant, of
London, is a damp-looking and fade landscape,
representing Welsh hills and a river with a
bridge. No. 45 is a landscape by Boughton, of
London and New York. No. 58 is a fruit study,
by Stewart, of London. No. 71, by Wm. Morris,
of London, a landscape with sheep; and an
animal sketch by the same, No. 101, a large head
of a pled black-and-white ram. And with these
closes a little list of British painters, not always
very accessible in America, and of real interest to
many fanciers.
Them are several Belgian (or, as we may say,
quasi-French) pictures, representing a school
more in harmony with recent taste. The contri
bution of Robbe, of Brussels, is a campagna
scene (No. 90), with a figure correctly in the cos.
tume of a Roman hired model, and a group of
very well painted sheep. In 89 Eugene Verboeek
hoven has contributed a few clever figures to a
large landscape by P. Verwee. In No. 95 Laurent
de Beul depicts with serenity a cow, a calf, a
sheep, a goat and a girl, trustfully wading
through a stream like Noah and his beasts coming
out into the mud after the deluge. De Noter has
a small, brilliant fruit : piece, No. 86. Francis de
Lent) represents a girl at her window engaged
with her canary—a very pleasant little cabinet
picture, No. 15.
We cannot conclude our notice without par
ticular reference, to the authentic, original and
interesting portrait of Washington, by Charles
Wilson Peale, which will be sold on the second
evening, May 8. The historical value of this
head by an artist to whom Washington accorded
some sittings, transcends in every way its mere
artistic interest, and will attract to the sale the
attention of our students, historians and patriots.

tessetal Despatch to the Ptdiattelphia Evening iranstia.l
Wssnisrovou, May 6.—Tbere Is a decidedly
better feeling in impeachment eL-cles this morn
ing. For several boos yesterday 'everything
looked dark for impeachment, and tlose who
bad been most sanguine that it would be a suc
cess became considerably discouraged. All this
resulted from apparently well-anthentleated state
ments made regarding the position of Senators.
Sherman and Fessenden. If these gentlemen
voted for acquittal it was conceded that a suffi
cient number of other Republican's would join
them to render Johnson's conviction impossible.
At no time since the trial commenced has there
been so mneh excitement as last night. Members
of Congress and strangers in the city flocked to
the newspaper offices to get the true situation of
affairs. Senator Fessenden was visited by a col
league, and in answer to a question whether he
was writing an opinion against conviction, said
that this story was absolutely untrue. He was
putting into shape some considerations in re
gard to a single article which had occurred to
him. and be bad not shown this to any person.
Senator Morrill. who also had an interview
with Fessenden, says that he is more than ever
convinced Mat Fessendec will vote for the re
moval of the President.
In regard to the position of Senator nhernian,
your correspondent, after most careful inquiry.
Is led to believe that he will vote for the
conviction of the President on all the
articles, except these which refer to
the violation of the Tenure of Olhce
set. Se expressed the opinion yesterday morn
ing, to a distingui shed gentleman from Ohio here
that he saw no reason to change from the posi
tion taken when the Tenure of Office bill passed,
that Cabinet officers were not included within the
provisions of the bill. From this there can be no
doubt but he win vote against conviction under
these articles.
Several Senators, yesterday, who are person
ally opposed to Senator Wade, took advantage of
the peculiar condition of affairs to urge his
friends to have him resign the position of Presi
dent of the Senate pro tempore, when, in their
view. itipeaclinteni„ would be certain. These
gentlemen who wore so anxious to get Mr. Wade
out are chiefly opposed to him as the candidate
for the Vice-Preeldency at the Chicago Conven
tion. ' •
Much surprise 'scat; created by Senator Wilson,
who waited upon three Ohio Congressmen and
said this whole difficulty could be solved by Mr
Wade's resigning. He said that he (Wilson)
would carry his own State for himself at the
Chicago Convention for Vice President. But,
Mr. Wade would resign the Presidency of the
Senate and thus let Mr. Colfax step into the
Presidential Chair on the success of impeach
ment; he (Wilson) would , agree to carry the Mas
sachusetts delegates and all delegates favorable to
himself and Colfax for Mr. Wade for Vice Presi
dent; at Chicago. This offer was at once firmly
refased,'but nevertheless has occasioned a great
deal of talk among the politicians who were in
formed of it.
The President's friends are circulating various
rumors again this morning,bnt they fail to create
the Impression expected from them.
The limpeacissuent Trial.
topectal Despatch is the Philadelphia Evenins Bulletta.l
WAsumarott, May 6.—Thi) galleries of the Sen
ate at .1.1. o'clock to-day were crowded to soirees,
tion. The Senate was opened with prayer by
the Rev. William Howe, of Cambridge, Massa
chusetts. •
No business interning, Mr. Bingham at once
resumed his argument. Be proceeded to consid
er the several acts regulating the tenure of
office. • Quoting from the act of 'B,, he said it
was a grant of power to theaxecutive to fill va
cancies during the recess of the Senate, which,
without that grant, he could, not have legally
done.
This act excludes the theory presented by the
defence. No auth,ority can be found for filling
vacancies during the session: of the Senate. The
act of 1795 is of a similar .character, permitting
the appointment to a vacancy for a period not to
exceed six months. What was the necessity for
this grant if the President has the powers claimed
for him in the defence of this caie ? The act of
1863 only follows previous precedents, claiming
for the legbdatnre the power to regulate appoint
ments, and its provisions being in , conflict
therewith, repeal those of the act of 1795.
It is a re- '
assertion;of the power of the Legbda
tare to control this Whole • subject. The act of
1867 completes the history of this question, and
leaves no (fume for a doubt in any man's mind.
By a necessary implication it repeals the acts of
'B9 and '95, and regulates a new tenure under
which offices are held.

which can hardly fail to stimulate activity. 11w idea
which not a few entertain that an acquittal will lead • to

inference, for it • would 'certainly reassure the public
mind. •
Money continues to flow towards this centre from the

being rapidly' augmented. •as Iya3 shown by their last

THE IMPELOHMENT TRILL.
MR. BINGHAM'S ARGUMENT
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
LATEST FROM SOUTH AMERICA..
Continuation of the Paraguayan War.
The Impeachment TAAL
[Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin )
WASHINGTON, May 6.—Tbe term of office is the
Presidential term of four years, fixed by the Con
stitution, and beginning on the 4th of March.
The defence sets up a theory by which we should
have been for three years past without any Con
stitutional heads of departments. But these Secre
taries held during the term of Mr. Lincoln, by
whom they were appointed. Their offices wore
not vacated by the act of 1867.
This subject was discussed by Mr. Bingham at
considerable length. He continued, arguing, that
if the President could be acquitted with regard
to the removal he could not be justified for his
appointment to the office without the advice and
consent of the Senate. Why the averment in
the President's answer, reiterated by his counsel,
that the act of 1867 is unconstitutional and void
—if Stanton was not included in it?
It is arrogantly claimed that the Senate has no
right to sit in judgment on the President because
ten States are unrepresented.
Passing from the first eight articles, he said the
President in his interview with General Emory
need language which intimated that he would not
take it unkindly if the gallant soldier should dis
regard what he told him was an unconstitutional
law. Why say the law was unconstitutional if
not to say that the law was invalid and not to be
observed?
The 10th article contains charges of indictable
offences. The President bad tried te stir up se
dition. Any officer or soldier who shall use con
temptuous or disrespectful words towards the
Legislative, as well as the other departments, is
by , law amenable to severe punishment.
It is answered that freedom of speech is not to
be restricted by act of Congress. Does that also
apply to a private soldier? We stand for that
freedom, but against that sedition which would
endanger the peace of . nations and would in
augurate anarchy.
The attempt to prevent the adoption of the
14th amendment of the Constitution requires
mention. The President used the argument
against that also, that Congress with ten States
unrepresented had no power to pass it.
LCORHESPONDENCE OF TITS ABSOCLiTEDPRESSJ
WASHINGTON, May 6.—The Court was opeii
with the usual formalities, and Mr. Bingham at
once resumed his argument, beginning with a
re-statement of his prepositions that the acts
of 1789 and 1795 have. ceased to be laws, but
maintaining also that said acts gave the
President no power to fill vacancies in the
offices of beads of departments without the con
sent of the Senate. The act of 1789 permitted
him to create a vacancy in one department, but
restricted him to the choice of a chief clerk to fill
it. The act of 1795 went further, applying to
the other departments, but limited the commis
sion td a term of six moutbs,and was thus clearly
a grant of power and that, too, a restricted
grant.
The act of 1863 abrogates the statutes of 89
and 95, and again restricts him in his choice of
ad interim appointments. It thus appears that
in all legislation on the subject the entire con
trol of Congress over it is assumed.
Mr. Bingham then cited portions of the tenure of
office act to show that these superceded the pre
vious acts referred to. He also claimed that the
argument of Mr. Curtis, asserting that the heads
of departments appointed by Mr. Lincoln were
not in the proviso, and adopting this interpreta
tion,he said it followed that they were covered by
the body of the section.
He proceeded to argue this point at length,
maintaining that the President's term of 4 years
continued on a President's death or inability, his
successor serving out the unexpired por
tion. Otherwise the appointees of a Vice
President would have to vacate that office
one month after the disability of the President
should be removed. But the wording of the
act is not "the term during which they were
appointed," but "the term of the President by
whom they were appointed." There was no such
intention in the minds of its framers, and the act
cannot be so construed.
XLth Congress—second Session.
WASHOIGTON, May 6
Hotat.—The Speaker laid before the House a
letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, trans
mitting the coast survey report for 18e7.
Mr. Lawrence (Ohio) offered a resolution that
therebe printed two thousand five hundred
copies of the report, one thousand to be distri
buted by the Superintendent of the Coast Sur
vey, and the remainder by the members of this
House.
Mr. Kelsey (N. Y.) presented the memorial of
125 citizens of Rochester, N. Y., praying that a
bill be passed by Congress authorizing the con
struction of a railroad between New York and
Washington. Also, a memorial of citizens of New
York, praying Congress to pass a law author
izing the construction of an Air Line Railroad
from New York city to Washington.
The Speaker said the pending question was on
the consideration of the preamble and resolution
submitted yesterday by Mr. Cary, and on which
the yeas and nays had been ordered. Bat as
time would be consumed in taking them, and as
the House was now about to proceed to the bar
of the Senate, action on that subject would be
postponed until their return.
Mr. Waehburne (III.) said that after the House
shall have dispensed of Mr. Cary's proposition,
be would move to go into Committee of the
Whole on the State of the Union to enable gen
tlemen to make speeches.
Mr. Stevens (Penn.) wished to say that after
the House should return from the Senate he pro
posed to make a personal explanation as to the
Alta Vela affair, and which he was prevented
from doing on Friday by the laying of, the reso
lution on that subject upon the table.
The members of the House then proceeded to
the bar of the Senate. -

LATER :FROM WASHINGTON;
TH.E IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
Tho Ittipciachmont Trail.' •
[Epeeist Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin ]
WASHINGTON, May 6.
Mr. Bingham said the President said he
did not believe any set of individuals (not in
Congress) had power to change the whole cha
racter of our institutions, either by enabling acts
or otherwise. Is that the utterance of an honest
men or a conspirator?
Distinctions are attempted between Andrew
Johnson the citizen and Andrew Johnson the
President. However this may be, these utter_
fences may. be looked upon as the u , utter
.
ans of a Wiled conspirator in a lost,
cause. All the facts of the case support the aver_
invents of the eleventh article. If it is held to be
a crime for the President to attempt to prevent
the execution of the law of Congress,he must be
found gtdlty. There are several averments in
the eleventh article, and he may be found guilty
of one if not of all. He assumed that he had
made it clear that in substance the averments are
supported by the proof, as well as confessed sub
stantially by the President's answer.
The President's claim is of the right to
suspend the 'laws and their exeention, at plea
sure. This is the issue. The • whole of the
charges come under the head ,of usurpation.
May he determine for himself the validity
of all • your lawsil This is an assuMption
of the power to set aside the Constitution and an
nihilate the rights of the people. These offences
are impeachable, and are declared by.the laws of
the land to be high crimes and misdemeanonx.
His answer convicts him. He claims by the Con
stitution the power to construe the Constitution.
It is our boast that • the law is the supreme
power in the State. The King of England is not
•above the law; the President is not above it.
The usurpations of Charles the First inflicted Hln•
told injuries upon the English people, and cost
the usurper his life. James the Second's usur
pations cost him his crown. It was a contest
between the legislative and the executive pre
rogatives.
The revolution of 16.3 was almost the founds
tion of the modem law of England. The bill of
rights contains the charge that King James had
attemptedito subvert the liberties of the people,
by suspending the execution of the laws.
These are substantially the same charges as are
brought against this accused President. Like
James, he has suspended the laws ; like James, he
has tried to divert public moneys. Truly, if those
cost James his crown and banished him from
England, these should cost Andrew Johnson his
office and carry the farther disabilities allowed
by our laws.
The Senate has the sale power to construe
every question of law or fact, between the Presi
dent and the people. The people have already
stamped out in blood the assumption that even
millions of people have the right to suspend the
execution of the laws or to deny the supremacy
of the Constitution.
(CORRESPONDENCE OF TUE ASSOCIATED roEss.
He also argued that the proviso bad no 'retro
spective action and that a re-election did not for
the purposes of the act make a new term.
Then combatting the position of 3rr. Groes
beck, that if Mr. Stanton were not protected by
the Tenure of Office act the first eight articles
must fall, he argued that whether Mr. Stanton
were affected by it or not, the President in his ap
pointment of Gen. Thomas had committed im
peachable offences because all power of appoint
ment granted him by the acts of 'B9 and '9a wad
abrogated by the act of 1867.
But he asked why were such lengthy argu
ments made in the attempt to prove the uncon
stitutionality of that law if the counsel did not
feel and know that Mr. Stanton was protected by
it, and that it repealed all former grants of power
to remove and appoint heads of departments.
He next spoke of conferences having been held
between the President and Gen. Thomas in re
lation to the advisability of suspending the exe
cution of their schemes until the result of the
trial should be known, and referring to the lan
guage of Mr. Nelson, who said the President was
willing to abide trial, he regretted that his high
ness had not signified his pleasure to abide the
judgment as well.
Mr. Bingham characterized the President's in
timation. through his counsel, that he did not
believe the, Senate was competent to sit as a
court, so long as States were unrepresented, as a
piece of arrogance, and he (Bingham) would not
be surprised if the President to-morrow should
issue a military order dissolving the court. In
such case their answer would be in the wards of
Mirabenu, which he proceeded to recite.
He then referred to the President's language to
Gen. Emory as a suggestion of the Commander
m Chief to his subordinate, that he would stand
by him in a violation of law. This, taken in con
nection with his declarations to Gen. Grant,
Would, in any other country, have been sufficient
to cost him his head.
It is not a charge to be sneered at as he be
lieved the counsel had done.
Mr. Bingham then had,
up Article 10, and ar
gued that the President's language not only
violated decency, but was the lang-aa.ge of se
dition. Ho also claimed that the sedition
law, after being referred to as uncon
stitutional, had never been so pronounced
by the courts. ; , It was necessary in times of dan
ger, and - under Jefferson its provisions - had been
re-enacted, so far as to apply to all persons in
the military or: naval service, 'and which provi
sion still remains in force. He further claimed
that tbesseditious utterances by any Executive
are indictable by the common law in the District
of Columbia.
He favored virtuous, constitutional liberty , of
speech, but was against seditious license, which
would shake the security , of peaceful, govern
ment and reach even the dead in their graves. In
reviewing the charges in the 11th article, be said
the Parsons telegram was not introduced to prove
a violation of the Reconstruction act, which was
indeed passed six months sabseqttently, but in
support of the allegation that he opposed the
ratification of the Constitutional amendment.
Reading that telegram, he claimed that the Presi
dent, in referring to Congress as "a set of Indi
viduals," used the language of a conspirator, and
not of an honest man. His whole purpose in
opposing the amendments was to revive "the lost
cause." Eulogising what he deemed the
beneficent character of the fourteenth
article, he animadverted en the President in
severe terms for hie opposition to it, and said th ,,
people bad rightly judged of his intentions. e
reminded. Senators that many of the o aces
charged in the eleventh article were Indic ble in

fessions made in .the President's answer,which,he

ments,he insisted that the President's assumption
of judicial prerogative was a crime in violation
of the Constitution, which called for his, depo
sition, and' claimed that as his usurpations wore
similar, the President's punishment sheuld also
be analogous and equally severe.
