Tme President's especial friends, is e. his
counsel and his Secretaries, with a brace or
two of newspaper correspondents, are very:
confident of his acquittal. Their efforts to
lead the public mind to a similar belief re
mind one of the old lady's attempt to sweep
back the ocean With a broom.
THE NENi tax-bill, now before a Con
sgressional Committee,'will make nearly one
thousand printed pages and would occupy
Congress nearly two months. It is believ
ed at Washington, thefore, that no general
bill will now be passed. Whiskey, tobacco
and some other articles will be attend
ed to, and the residue of the proposed
amendments left over for the next session.
FLORIDA holdi her Constitutional elec
tion on the 4th, - Sth and 6th of May. A
schism in the Convention resulted in the
preparation of two Constitutions, but it is
believed that one of these , will e he seascma

to be defeated. The efforts to heal dissen
sions among our friends in. North Carolina
prior to the eleotion day, are likely, also, to
be successful.
THE Erie Gazette with deeded impu

-At this point rose up one of the prisoners:.
This was - Mr. GionoP. W.- gnowN,, (for
merly of , Crawford county, in this State,)
editor of the Kansas Herald of Freed Om.
He asked permission to address the Court,
and waS told to proceed: - He said substari
tially--"Tour Honor, we havebeen detain
ed as prisoners four full' months; all the
while protesting
,our innocence, and. de
manding to be tried according to the laws.
At the June term, the Government was not
ready. It is not ready now. We are ready,
and demand that our trials be not farther
delayed. Besides, it is not for the Govern
ment to urge the existence of excitement in
the community; that being the privilege ex
clusively of defendants ,in criminal cases.

COMPTE, turning to the District Att9rney,.
inquired wind lie had to say in ani*el to
the points thus raised.. He frankly ' admit
ted that the points , were well taken,-consid
ered in the light of legal principles. 'Judge
LECOMPTE ordered the prisoners to be
released on common bail. Before the next
term, thepro : siavery champions abandoned
the cases, and they have never teen — Called.
The principles herein involved are not
without an application to the case of . Mr.

Court and the people of the United States
will do well to consider. Chief Justice
Cliasa can afford to hold as even a balance
as Judge LECOMPTE.
ME.. JOHNSON'S DEFENSE.
The opening argument of Mr. JOEMBOX'S
counsel , accords, in its general drift, with
the expectations of the public for ten days
past. But our intelligent readers will con
cur with us in the opinion that, so far as it
purports to embody the President's case in
defense, it is essentially a failure. Making
a shOw of grappling boldly with the main
issue, which had already been formally
made in the pleadings, viz: the constitu
tionality of the Tenure-of-Office law, the
whole course and the tenor of Judge Curtis'
argument is no more than a ceaseless kaleid
oscopic variation from one to the other of
the opposite and most inconsistent extremes
between which Mr. Johnson is finding
himself crucified. At one moment his
counsel denies the constitutionality of the
law; at another he, defends its spirit and
endeavors to show that the act of his client
did not fall within its scope.. In one breath,
I,he asserts the President's unrestricted right
of appointment and removal; at the next,
he fortifies him within precedents which
he admits to be based -- upon no
express law whatever. Now, he claims
that Mr. Stanton was justly remov
ed ; then he reminds the Senate that, as no
removal. was perfected by the Secretary's
assent, no violation of the law &in" be justly
char*: Here he gives good reasons why i i
a SeCretary should hold
office during,the 1
term of the "President Who appoints him
there, ignoring the fact that the . Secretary's
office was confirmed to him, by, Mr. John
son's- express act, he asserts an absolute,
( I ,
right to remove him at plea Sure. He a its
that the Suspension was in deference to a aw
with Which his client aimed to - avoid a con
flict : he'subsequently argues that if was his
client's_duttto reject the enactment as bind
ing in any particular, and to make a case for
judicial. interpretation. He declares that an
indiiidual may plead and establish, for an
adequate defense, the unconstitutionality of
a law which he is - arraigned for yiolating,
and boldly claims the same right
for the magistrate, who, is sworn. to 'execute
evety .. law when enacted
The argument, of Judge _Cunns presents
no new views of his client's.case: Every
point that he takes has been already and
quite as, forcibly e l laboratedib,y . , the Demo-
Catic journalists and politicians who have
so generally volunteered, amid curia., in
the httigresto of:pure, Justice s toiaaya good,
word for their"friend it the bar. The argu
ment abounds with the technical astuteness,
the verbal criticisms, the hair-splitting.dis
tinctions, the fine points and the , plausible
but shallow exceptions of the mere lawyer,
who is at the hetid of I& f 'profeision, no
doubt, as to that sort of ability, but it lacks'
the comprehensive breadth of consideration,
the 'enlarged, wise,, liberal views, the just
conceptions pf pnblic duty, ;of the neeessi- .

proVed, thefactthat his opponent hold's the

has •
declared illegal, they have no option,
but must recognize the LIT and award the

The experience, however, of the House,
in this and other cases, and thegeneral -dem=
timentof the country alike suggests the re
peal'at this period. , of the enactment upon
which these . don6sts have hinged. We can
never hesitate to - concur in any just expres
sions of the public disapproval of the shame
fur refrisal'of any citizen to meet, like a good
loyal Citizen and true patriot, each and all
of his obli,gations to his country, Whether'
in peace or war. We have no sympathy
for "skedaddlers," or draft-sneaks, or deser
ters, who fled ~from; duty or turned,
their becks upon the old flag during the re
bellion. We can subscribe to any, well-,
considered' legislation which 'Wait . punish
such conduct by a loss of-civil fiivilegis, or
shall brand with the 'atigma of a
life-long disgraCe. But we have
never been able to regard
_the law in ques
tion as capable .of any proper,
practidable. enforcement - The- subsequent
purging of the polls, with all the intricacy
of investigation and the delays, which must
attend cases like this from Ohio, constitutes,
in fact, the only way in which the law as it
stands can be made opdrative: It is, prac
tically, a fatal objection to any law regale.-
ting suffrage that it has no other method of
enforcement than by a contest afterwards.
Every law to that end should be so con
trived, in principle or details, as to be im
mediately effective at the polls themselves.
.Contests and scrutinies of the ballots should
be the rare necessary exception and not the
constant, unavoidable result. The inspec
tors and judges of elections 'should not be
exposed - to - the alternative, eitlier of admit
tinga class of votes of a very doubtful le
gality or illegality, with the inevitable con
,test afterwards, or of suspending the poll
until they can take evidence and decide
each claim as it is challenged, according to
its merits upon the facts to be then submit
ted. The latter course is;evidently not with
in the purview of our election laws, while
the former can only result in a certain con
test in every close poll, or in an en
tire disregard of the law of the land
as it is written, where the majority; is
in any event, even with such votes thrown
out, a large one for the successful candidate.
We regard the ' present law, therefore, as
impracticable in theory, as inoperative in
point of fact, and that these are ample rea
sons to justify its repeal. We observe that
a bill modifying the provision was intro
duced.on Thursday, and infer that the view
we have taken is shared in by members of
the House. It is better that the class of un
deserving citizens, whom the present law
was intended to reach, should be punished,
if at all by law, in some more convenient,
practical and decisive way, or that, if that
be not podsible, they should be remitted
to the contemptuous regards of the
vicinage, which may be relied upon to keep
alive the shameful remembrance during the
offenders' natural lives. A good deal better
this, than to retain upon the Federal statute
book any enactment which is incapable _of
general, effectual and prompt enforcement.
OUR SLOW POISON
At the village of Terling; in Essex, Eng
land, one hundred and eighty persons, out
of a Population of about nine hundred, were
recently victims of a new and strange ept
demic, and some twenty or - more of the
cases resulted fatally. It was ascertained,
upon investigation, that the epidemic' was
wholly attributable to the use of well -water
which was poisoned by the sewerage of the
town.
We doubt if the citizens of Pittsburgh are
yet quite ready to • appreciate the:vital im
portance of a supply of pure water to the
health Of oui vast and rapidly extending
population. They remember that the sup
ply from our reservoirs was unclean last
year, offensive to the , taste, the smell and
even the sight. Because it was not found
to be so offensive to the internal organs of
the body, may, be' owing, perhaps, to our
fortunate exemption, thus far, •from the
scourge of such a visitation as that, in the
English village above spoken, of. But are
our readers quite sure that their bills of mor
tality in the summer and autumn of 1867
were not increased. by the fatal secondary
results of drinking a diluted sewerage? Can
the medical gutctitioners of the city cor- ,
dially and conscientiously unite in a state
meat that ito maladies of the seabon were
intensified,
_no,: symptoms aggravated,
'no usual and proper, medication mys
teriously and effectively resisted, by rea
son. of the vile'elements which lay but half
hiddentrt this fluid,
,which is the essential
basis of food for the Well and of diet for the
invalid? Can they certify to us that the
iinpure Water which we were for months
coMPelled tome, had no deleterious effect
Upon the general health?' Are - they quite
sure Ihet among the very yotirkg, the

none witose , detiths might be • traceable 'di:
rectly to the fatal influence of.the fluid With
which, in various combinations, they Were,
so • largely fed. • What physician, what
mother, does not knowthat; in the absenee
of the food which natures provides for in-
fart nurture, the absolute p,urity of the :wa
ter with which another diet must be prepar
ed is vitally essential not only to health hitt
to - life itself ?
•
long as the avenging Nemesis of pestilence
forbears to punish our neglect, just so long
may our people be found procraStinating,
putting over from year to year, until a more
cihweriient season, this plain, urgent duty of
reform in their water-supply. We hope
that, when they shall* last not only per
ceive their duty but resolve to perform it,
the immediate pressing necessity will not be
enforced by the ghastly presence of a sweep
ing and terrible mortality.
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
The new "Church of the Messiah," New
York, Rev. Dr. Osgood pastor, was dedicated
on the 2d inst. It is represented as being one
of the most beautiful , churelkeain Gotham,
and occupies a comtnandir4gite. - The pas

efforts of young men and laymen.,
Quite an interesting work of revival .ex

Bishop Eastburn, - of • Massachusetts,
preached on are ent Sabbath in Boston, in
the Olds South C 4:,.
ngregational Church. He
had on no gown, nor bands, but his usual
citizen's dress; he offered extemporaneous
prayer; spoke of the hOuse they were in as
the temple of God, and prayed for "all min-i
liters of the Gospel, and the congregations
committed to ' their charge." Dr. Nichol
son, an Episcopal clergyman of that city,
has recently officiated in a meeting house.
The annual meeting .of. the New York
City. Sunday •School and Missionary Society
of the Methodist Episcopal church, • was held
in that city some, days since. Its mis
sion element has had a wonderful
success during its' brief history. Al
ready the real estate and other property
belonging to the Society, is valued at $71,-
000, and consists almost exclusively in
Mission chapels, for preaching and Sunday
School purposes. The receipts for fourteen
months ending March 1, amount to $05,766,-
95, and`the expenditures, $65,248,10. The
President, W. W. Cornell, is a lice lay
man
The call for the National Convention of
Christians, opposed to secret societies, is be
ing widely circulated. The meeting will be
doubtless an important one, judging from
the efforts of those in the management to se
cure eminent speakers, and a full reprmen
teflon from all parts of the country. The
Convention is to be held in this city, com
mencing Wednesday, the !itli of May, and
continuing four days.
. The newly acquired right of females to
exercise the right of suffrage in New York,
in the election of trustees, was effectually
used by the female members of • Alanson M.
E. Church, Brooklyn, the other day. The
novelty of the thing, we presume, brought
out large numbers, and one trustee received
four hundred and thirty votes—most of
them by females. The Diseipline of. this
body of Christians provides for the eke
tion of trustees by the Quarterly Conference,
unless the corporation of a church..avail
themselves of State laws.
Reference has already- been made to, the
wonderful awakening in New Albany, Ind.,
and the.effect it hashad upon the communi- .
ty in various ways. According to a daily
of that city; the accessions to the Pres-4
byterian churches, reach about three hun
dred and fifty, to the United Brethren
nearly,- seventy, and to the Methodist
churches, including the Ciernum, nearly
nine hundred, making a grand total.of over
thirteen hundred accessions to the Protes
tant churches of the city during the past
winter.
The Maryland Legislature have before
them a bill, if not already passed, with a
view to provide such favorable legislation
that Southern Methodists can disposses Ithe
MethOdist Episcopal Chyrch . of its property.
However much the State lawi may favor the
Southern Methodists, we presume the
Federal COurti protect the M. E.
Church in her sovereign rights. Considera

legislation.

—Advices from Mexico to the 3d state :
The Diai•o (official) has been forbidden to
publish Ex-Minister Romero's private °or
versation with Senators Sumner and Fow
ler. Romero asserts that the Republic did
not owe the United States as much as was
generally claimed at the end of the war
against the French. Every mail fails owing
to the attempts that are made to bully cor
respondents•into representing the tone of
sentiment and state of affairs in Mexico in
favorable colors. The French and Austrian
residents are• leaving in haste. General
Herman and others have been banished. A

years of his age, on his departure. On the
