Wage/1407ex, 23th March, 11760.
Mr. SHERIVILAN, of Ohio. said the President has
made, for the first time, an issue with this House on a
moat important power, lie was willing to give to the
communication the consideration which its nravitxdo
mends. He was willing that the House should go into
committee, and consider whether they have the power
to investigate Anything_ done by the executive branch
of the Government. The Constitution declares that
the President, Vice President. and others, en convic
tion of treason, bribery, and other high crime'', shall
be removea from office, and another clause declares
that the House shall have the sole power of stiperioh
meet. Under these clauses the house has the right to
inquire into ansthing, whether affecting_ even one of
the little pages here. or the President. The President,
however. nays the House can only make inquiry tato
his official conduct by impeachment; but how can It be
ascertained whether the President has violated his du-
Vestals tt be by en exam nation There is no ether
we Would the President have them round articles
oft ambulant on mei° rumor No. The very ne
cessity of the case implies that the House has the power.
Should there be probable cause, then they could prefer
articles or impeachment. Every session they exam:,
into the noeduct of some officer or member. What die-
Motion was there be twern a member and the President
as to their constitutional rights that should induce them
to mere an exception in favor of the President? The
dooti ins avowed by him wee the same that prevailed in
England when Cantles the First we; brought to the
blook:nantely The King can do no wrong"—the mine
that led Lathe death of Louis the Sixteenth. The dm
trine of the Preeldeat was the worst that bad been ini
tiated since the loundatloo of this Government.
Mr. OR aIGE, of North Carolina, said that tee Presi
dent does not deny thewer, and therefore the argu
ment et the gentleman talls to the ground. The Presi
dent admits the right of the House to impeach: but de

[Cries of order l" from the Republican side.)
Mr. CRAIGE. Be objects to the mode.
Mr. SR e.R MAN. By what other mode can the charges
be investigated?
Mr. CRAIGE, Refer it to the Committee on the Jo.

Mr. SHERMAN. Wm* should the President tell us
how te ref , . r the 'subject ? We oan refer it as we choose,
and the President has no risht to say oay. We apPoint
gentlemen to examine into the tinth of the altegatione,
so they may ascertain whether they are such founded.
ea the President has entered hie protest, I am willing
that the House shall accept of the challenge. I move
that the measure be relerred to the Committee on the
Judiciary, with leave to reporf,nt any time, by bill, re.
solut.on. or otherwise.
Mr. BOtIOCK. of Virginia. said that Inasmuch as he

make in a spirit of calmness. It was an important mes•
sage calculated to create n (bounden throughout the
country. It was it grave, able. And imwrtant resonate,
end he hoped gentlemen would mime to its consideration
us a manner worthy of the occasion. The President does
not °Meet to an inquiry concerning his conduct; but
asks ro be treated as the humblest individual Woul d he
under allegations of any character, the chimes
against the President were vague and indefinite. When
Pdr. Covode offered his reeolutioq he hound Mound(' in
en embarrassing position, and did not vote for it for the
reasons shadowed forth.
Mr. CAMPBaLL, of Pennsylvania, said a grand jury
have the power, nut only to found an indictment on
eneeifie shames, but unlimited power to make a pre
'ointment to the court on all matters which come to
their knowledee.
Mr. BOCOCK replied The proposition wati. that
grand icier can net as a witness if he knows of a vim
cal act, but cannot in Pennsylvania call tip a witness
end sok him whether he knows of any wrong of any
particular person. You must call attention to some
wrong before you can force him to testify. He repeated
that thq honor and dignity of the country demand that
you ought to extend to the President the same fair deal
ingy ou would to the humblest individual.
COYODE eiplamed, that in his resolution he did
not make theteharge. The Presto ant himself made it in

Mid that money web used for the purpose or carrying

merely stepped forward to see who used the money.
Mr.GROW agreed with Mr. Booook. That was smatter
of ooneemance, as It pertained to the rights of a of? -or
dinate branch of the uovernment. Jr the House pro
posed to impeach by any committee, the President
would be right in his concluelons, he House Must
prefer the articles of impeachment and the Senate mutt
try the case, but an inquiry as to what influence had
bean used to adept the legfelation of the country, of
emerge, games with it no impeachment. Your corn
matteeshould ascertain whether the President Weeguilty
of a violation of duty. Suppose that was the case, your
committee would simply , report the fact. • •

side.) Hscompliins that you will not extend to him

Mr, COVODE repeated that the President himself

Mon reamed tee' belief that the Pregnant's party in
Pedneylvania used' money to affect the elsotiens. The
President handed mere letter to the Secretary of the

the gentleman could not divulge the prooeedings of the
committee.
Mr. COVODD remarked that he had the best evidence
of inch use of money. as the President had been written
to for come. to use azai nit the party opposed to him.
Mr. &KAN gm said. if the reotleman was stating the

Mr. WINSLOW, of North Carolina, rimplained that

which affected him. Tice gentleman from Penney Wawa,
[Mr. Dm/ode) hod not Omen that this was not a vague
and indefinite inquiry.
Mr, COVOI/R. I cannot make it otherwise.
Mr. HOCOCK replied that the President - has not pro
tested against what the gentleman cannot do, but what
he has done.. Does the use of money show oorrupttoq
The gentleman With his other party nawoistes has in
circulation asecret circulor callica on their friends to

Mr. KILOOR of Indiana said tne circular contains
a recommendation to contribute money to disaitimnate

[Laughter on the Republican side.)
Mr. BOCOCh replied. But the abject was to sand,out
(else Bi hiss, false doctrines. and false prophets, It wee reserved for the generous and portly gentleman from
Indiana to ()Mlle forward and take the defence of this
matter. The gentleman wee the very one who required
of his candidate for Tie printer that the profits should
be divided for l.ne oefit of his party. [Laughter on
the Democratic Side. BEA If the President should hap

Mr. HASKIN, of New York, said this manner of

Tne President's plea is abatement should go to the

Mr. BOODDIt replied that these remarks came .aP

dignity of this House. i ',oughts.' on the 'Derneeratte

The Presiden t has tlehied the sweeping allegations.
He moved the noatponernent of the question. Not

A SINGULAR CASE or Fonozar.—The de
tails of a successful attempt et the peepottattop of a
forgery name to our knowledge yesterday. It seem.
that on last Petards'', a lad called at the office of
Maitre. Drexel, on Third street, arid 'presented a check
for the sum of el OM- Purcoriing to be issued by Charles
Creams. maeufacturing chemist. No. 129 Muth
tont street. The bankers were acquainted with
Mr. Crease's signature, andbehoving - the
oheok to be gentile., •honored it at once. To
ao book a few dat a previous to the date of the trans
action, we may say that the way the lad came Into con
solation of the check was as follows: un lest Thursday
week, an advertisement appeared in one of the, pub in
Prints. stating that a toy wax wanted to attend to the du
ties of an errand boy in a banker's office. The bo) An
swered the advertisement. &ad obtsised sair.l.terview
with a Mao who la suppd to be toe author pf the for
gery. The man stated that he bed tome became to do
at the Bank of /forth America, and handing the boy the
check, told him to go and get th wished, and buns bin
the money to 6 place on tllisattuit etteet, between
ne ,, ond and 1 bird, wnem he would meet him.
Th e he, as we have said, got the money, and repair
ing to the place demeaned, he was met by the man,,whi
tapped him on the shonlier and asked him if it was al
right. The lad re_plied fa the affirmative. and hand ed
him the money. re
man toad him that be Plight go
home nod get his dinner. which he did.
In the afternoon the man repaired to the home of tki•
