Timm was good reason for Monday's "scare.".. The.treacherous defection of men who havc hitherto been honored. and trusted as leaders in the Republican party has come very near proving fatal to the popular hopes for the resthration of peace and order to the country. This treachery admite of but one , explanation; nothing but an infiunously.cor rupt sale of their votes, for the money which, as stated,clsewhere, - has been lavishly sup plied foi their purchase, can account for the infamy their names will be .blackened in all coming time.

THE moTous demonstrations at Ashton, reported by: the Cable , from ' England on Monday as "a serious anti-popery 'Hot," show that Mr. D'lsßaut,x has some reasons for his reliance upon the sectarian zeal of a large class of his. countrymen. It has been evident that hi intends to appeal (tutu the opposition majority against him in Parlia ment to the religions bigotry of the mass of the English people, and that he bases all his hopes for a continuance in , power upon the expectation that the assaultrupon the Irish Church estahlisbfnent will be regarded by the peoplejts.alloy at Protestant supreme cy.

With abundant facts devel-, oped through the investigutions, of the Ju- diciarr Committee! to make conviction in evitable upon • a ' fair trial, both Houses refused to , proceed. They preferred to for bear, if possible, until the close of Mr. Jonarson's term, which was not far oif, . rather than to incur the risk of 'deranging, the affairs, of commercial . cicles, and of supetindncing complications ,of which the final consequences . conld not be oaleulated and provided against. Moreover, the Presi dent himself_ volunteered explanations that were plausible and assurances that were commendable,: and these' served -to allay re- Sentments and to quiet apprehensions. No sooner luid. Congress determined to drop impeachment, . ,and !be peoplel4d re- Sponded with a feeling of relief akin to sat- inaction, than the President was seized with, a fresh fienzy. In defiance of the Etc: I= tion of the Senate in restoring Mr, STArt- , . . TON to the War Office, he attempted again to put him out. This bold measure exas perated Congress, and it resolved to forbear no longer Technical quibbling will not avail now to excuse or: justify • Republiean menitl3era Of the Senate in voting to acquit the President. It is useless to affirm that these proceedings were forced upon them by the Radical lead em‘'the House of Reprieiensatives: When the busitess of impeachment was ac tually entered upon the Republican inem beriof the Senate were in complete accord with the Republican members of the House. It matters not what appeErcinces of mdiffer- ence or impartiality were assumed from a supposed sense of the decencies - of the occa sion and of their position. The measure was d party one, finding its defense in the terms of the Cortstitutibn 'and in facts proved and known of all men of ordinary intelligence. Neither will it do for Repub lican Senators to plead that in sitting as members of the Court of Impeachment they were under superior obligations to deal fair ly and truly than attached to them in the ex- minion of, their common functions. in both instances they were bound by soleinn oaths and by whatever sentiments of honor swell their bosoms. It was precisely as in cumbent on them to judge justly of the President and his- doings before the articles of impeachment' were laid cefore them, as afterwards. Equally futile is. it for Be publican Senators to say the 'Managers on the part of the House failed to. make out their case. The facts were in possession of each Senator and the whole country before the first witness was put upon the stand or the first..official 'document offered in evi dence. The Office-Tenbre Act' was passed over the President'6 Veto by the Constitutional Majority - of.two 7 thirds in each House. The President', notivithstanding Its provisions, and in vacation of the Senate, removed Mr. Srafrrox: Upon' the re-aSseinbling of the Senate the President presentedto that body, 1 1 Ina formal manner, the reasons bvwhich . he was - actuated. The Senate took those reasons, which involved a presentation of his constitutional right of appointment and removal, and his'construttion of the'Office- - .Tenure Bill, into due consideration: Its de cb3ion, restoring Mr..Srariros' to office, in-. solved, neceasarily, an interpretation of the Office - -Tenure ta*. - Such 'lnterpretation was neither unwarranted nor unusual. The right of Congress, through one or both of its branches, as the case may be, to deelare the meaning of 'any law aulnot be seriously eombatted. - , How will Senators who voted that the President removed Mr. STANTON without authority excuse . theniselves,. if ,they shall vote to acquit' iffni on - the ground that he did not 'exceed his :lawful powers? They may hope to evade the . inferences which seem unavoidable from such inconsistency, but they will hope in vain.

( We do not care what reasons Senators who shall stultify themselves may assign for their votes. Tliey will not be „judged by the reasons they give, but hy the probabili ties of the case. Men who do base deeds idwp,ys have an abundance of excuses; which . , seem to satisfy themselves, but are satisfac tory to none besides.. It is universally con ceded that some _Senators are liable to be swayed by political ambition, and others by personal - animosities, Is' if r Prettumptilons to fear or suspect that Senators who would yield to indeceinents of these sorts, wOuld accept is bribe in gold or greenbacks? , There is another and a- lower . aspect of this case, not altogetherunviorthY of notice even in this connection. For Republican Senators who have voted against the Presi dent heretofore on all the Questions rail Volved in. the trial, to vote for his acquittal,. is simply to stultify themselves. It is to confess* in the most emphatic manner that they had a quarrel with the President, de nounced him in the most Unsparing lan gus i g,e;'l*red to.hedge him - about by pub- - - lie opinion and by statutory provisions,. sought to blast his fame and make him odious for all time, and yet that he was completely in the;right and they totally in the wrong; he acting so clear ly within the powers conferred on 'him by the organic law as to be undeserving of censure, and they endeavoring to hamper and baffle him, in order to gratify party ambi tion or personal animosity. With this con fession virtually on their lips, how do Sena tbrs expect to meet constituencies who cannot fail to feel outraged to the last de grec,and will enforce retribution? How' will Senators who may occupy this predica ment defend either thernselVes or the Repub lican party before the grand inquest of the people, which will be held next autumn, and which they cannot escape? A ( Washington correspondent of. the Cin cinnati Coaamercial amuses himself with the subjoined statements : As to the.platform likely to be adopted at Chicago, I can say this much: that I have seen 'a .draft of what I was assured had re ceived General Grant's - approval, and was certain to be the platform of the convention.

SEVEEA MONTIIS ago we called attention to some • jectionable features of the law taxing mo . eys at interest.

This con cedes that t i e taxatiun, is wrong in principle, but only, makes 'half amends.- If these se curities ought not to be taxed, for local pur poses, they ought not to be taxed for State purposes. The financial condition of the Comraonwealth is not so uncomfortable as to compel even this injustice. Doubly tax ing certain descriptions of property in this way, is a sort of qualified robbery, which reacts iniurionsly upon all citizens who de sire to obtain credit, and would be benefited by so doing.

MR. I:Orrott : The Philadelphia North Americah and United ( States Gazette is a great paper. Last February it repub lished from the Paris Co/dim-War Gazette a letter from Geu. Washington to Count de Rochamebeau, dated Newburgh, December ,14th, 1782; which it stated had "never been published." Through your columns Icor 'meted this and referred the editor to Spark's Washington Vol. VII. Tap - 386 where the letter can be found. This was nat enough to-put the editor on his guard, so he has been caught again. 'On the Bth instant he copied from the Trenton,N. J., Gazette a letter from Gen. Washinton to Dr. Franklin, dated Bergen county, N. T., October 9, 1780, which it_states "has never before been published." On referring to Spark's Washington Vol. VII. page 242 you will see the letter verbatim; in Sparks, it is dated October 11th.- I. C. ALLE(iIiE'SY, May 11th, 1868.
