Tbe urmsrie.ll? severs weather of winter it hard open all olaaaet In town and country, but nowhere it it to keenly foil and attend ed with to much wretchedness and misery, as in largely populated cities. The poor of the cities, and their name is legion, are suf fering terribly with cold and hunger by the Increased and long and continued rigors of Winter. The streets in Philadelphia are rendered almost impassable by the accumu lation of snow. The railroad track is kept clear with difficulty, and piles of suow, from each side, extend to the pavement. The cold and stormy character of tbe weather, together with the fandangoes of our acci dental President, has greatly depressed bu siness. President Johnson, who bos lately been swinging around a circle of a much mailer diameter than formerly, gradually narrowing his gyrations, as tbe moth does around tbe glare of a lamp, has necessarily fallen Into the flame of burning light, and if be escapes with wings unburnt, it will be more owing to his usual good luck, than to any merit, in bis rase. Tbe prospects of trade are not, however, discouraging. Coal has slightly advanced. Tbe consumption being much greater than last year on account of the continued cold weather. Muslins have also advanced, considerably, within the last month, as well as some clas ses of provisions. Tbe Democrats are trying hard to make capital out of the Impeachment question, not that tbey care one fig for Andrew John son, individually, but they would like to stir op a small rebellion, that would enable them to wipe out the memories of the past, . which associations must ever weigh tbem down as a party. The editor of the New York Times, who is on most familiar terms with the President, says ho is not governed by the advice of any one, and follows, of course, his own stubborn instincts. This is, no doubt, true, and quite in character with his acts. It accords with his idea, that he can violate any law that he sees proper to declare unconstitutional. A theory which would enable him to trample under foot every law that might be passed by Congress. Some of the leading Democrats have sworn vengeance against the absurd idea of electing soldiers, to office, and take it very hard that they, who have been fighting for office all their lives, should be set asido for those who have only fought for their coun try. If the latter have spilled blood in de fence of their country, have they not spilled and drank much bad whiskey in fighting for tbe party I One of the two robbers who carried off two trays of valuable diamond rings from the new store of Caldwell, was arrested yes terday. The missing jewels, in the hands of the other robber, are valued at $10,000. 3FPre8idekt Johnson's Plea on Ex cess. Tbe President, in defence of his course, in the removal of Secretary Stanton, puts in three contradictory pleas. Bis sev eral defences are, first, that in removing Mr. Btanton he has obeyed the Tenure of Office Act ; and, secondly, that in removing Mr. Stanton he has disobeyed it, in order to test its constitutionality ; and, thirdly, that the Tenure of Office Act has no bearing, wbauver, upon his right to make the order. Each plea, it will seen, overturns the other. President Johnson makes out a case almost as complicated as the Dutchman's, who shot his neighbor's dog. Tbe Dutchman admit ted that be had shot the dog, but as his neighbor had sued him, let him provo it. Tbe plaintiff replied that the dog was utter ly worthless, but as the defendant had shut him, he must now pay bis full value. f3?Gov. Geary Sustained. Our rea ders will remember that Gov, Geary, iu his late annual message, called tbe atteniiou of the Legislature to tbe fuct that the judges of tbe criminal court of Philadelphia, bud released from prison more criminals within the past year, than had been legally par doned by him, at which tlio judges took great offence, and that Judge Allison in subse quently charging tbe grand jury took occa sion to reflect severely upon his Excellency. Shortly after ibis a case came up which gave the Attorney General an opportunity to test tbe question before tbe Supremo Court, and he took measures to do so. Tbe case has been tried and the decision of the Conrt was given on Thursday. Tbe Court decides against the power of the criminal court to reconsider, modify, or remit a sentence, and thus sustaius tbe position of Gov. Geary on the subject. i a Robert I. Walker on the Mjuxy. We print below an opinion of tbe Hon. Robert J. Walker upon the President's right to decide upon the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress. Mr. Walker is a Demo crat, and stands high in the 'confidence of the President : "I called," says Mr. Walker, "upon Gen. Thomas early onSaturday morniug, at tbe War Office, and communicated to him in a friendly way my opinion that any such order would be a nullity, and would subject him to serious consequences, especially if any such collision should occur. I told him that he bad no right, nor had 'the Hetideht, to J'"? a ton of Congrets upon the auumutio that Uuas unconstitutional, and tuit if thU wrt not so tU President might tet aside all the wwi of Congress since tlie foundation of (As nf'P00 lne 8'ound that they were unconstitutional.

A ritivATB letter from Henry Clay, writ ten in September, 1840, has b"u handed to us as possessing in one of its passages a remarkable application to tbe events of the present day. That passage is as fellows : "I reloice iu all tbe popular movements by which the current year is so much dis tins uished. demonstrating a fixed determina- Hon of tbe people to dismiss faithless and incompetent rulers. And l rejoice witn you in tbe prospects of tbeir speedy and ignom inious dismission." This is curious, to say the least, and will be read with interest by the former friends of its author. Mb. Sherman reported from the Finance Committee or tne senate an amended bill providing for tbe funding of tbe national debt. In view of the tide of public opinion setting in against tne discbarge of tbe obli potions of tbe Government in gold, Mr. rnerman s plan ot redemption will prove popular and find favor with mnny Democrats and Republicans. He claims that the public faith would not bo weakened, inasmuch as every dollar or aebt will be paid with in terest, in that sort of money which is ac knowledged by all classes as the currency of me country, lie ocueves somctbing must be done" to lighten the burdens left by the war to weiirit down industrial interests, and. while his bill does not contemplate injustice to the bondholder so much as justice to the peoie, lie urges tnat it sbould be favorably acted upon by Congress. Ho takes the ground that tho obligations entered into in the name of the Government by its officials, while Congress was not in session, are not binding the Government uot being reeuon si Me for the representation of its agents and that to redeem five-twenties in any cur rency but that in which they were bought, would provo fatal to every commercial and financial interest, depreciating public sccun- ties and pressing with tenfold inconvenience the masses of the people. Pittsburgh Gazette of feontary ill). A bold and extensive robbery and attempt at murder, was committed last Saturday night at Ilorsengcr's mi IT, on Tulpohocken creek, about three miles from Reading. Charles Long, the miller, was attacked in tbe mill, about 'i A.

Two of the bed rooms were ransacked, and $3000 in govern ment bonds, f 3000 in greenbacks and f 3000 in gold were taken from the bureau. It is supposed the thieves had some previous knowledgo or tbe situation of the promises Three men, who were sleeping in the mill at the time, were not wakened by the encounter between Long and tbe robbers, as the mill was going, nor were the family disturbed by the entrance into the house. Mr. Long had returned the previous eveniug from Phila delphia, where ho bad drawn a considerable etiui of money at the Third National Bank. No arrests bad been made up to this time, a reward has been offered, but tbe thieves, doubtless well known in that section, had not been arrested at last accounts, Buad in the Susquehanna. Col.

He receives a salary of forty thousand dol lars per annum in gold, and bas a retinue of tbirty persons, among whom there is an Knglisbmnn and a Frenchman as secretaries. This is a grand mission, and is a movement on the part of tbe greatest, at least most populous and oldest empire on the globe, of a surprising and extraordinary nature, and wnai makes it equally extraordinary is that it was entirely unheralded. The course of civilization is onward, beapmg blessings in its course, and will continue to be onward while tbe present form and structure of the eartu shall last.
