. . The Impeachment ;
V The counsel for, Mr. Johnson announced
the close of the testimony for the defense on
Saturday. It ia understood that they re
serve the right to offer other witnesses, for
good cause Bhown.hufc do-ot anticipate any
probability of their doing so. Their case
has finally broken down on the refusal, by
the Senate, to permit members of the Cabi
net to testify to their part in advising the
President as to the unconstitutionality of the
Tenure-of-Office Law, and as to the subse
quent acts of the accused and his Cabinet in
relation thereto up to the time "when Mr.
Johnson sent in his message of February
21st. .; An interrogation as to the applica
bility of the law to the Secretaries appoin
ted by Mr. Lincoln was twice ruled out, be
ing first put by one oi the counsel, and sub
sequently by Senator Sherman. The defense
thereupon rested their proof. We have no
intimations as to the extent of rebutting
testimony to be offered for the prosecution,
but it is not likely to be general, or materi
ally to delay the approaching termination
of the trial. ,
Criticisms have been very freely applied
to the action of the Senate in admitting a
large amount of testimony not strictly perti
nent to the maiu issue before it for j-idg-.
meat, via V Did,' or did not, the President
. violate a law which ic was his duty to obey?
These criticisms are certainly not applicable
to its refusal to receive this ling of proof.the
rejectioaof which ha terminated the de
fense. It is here clearly held that the Pres
ident is responsible for his Cabinet, not
his Cahiriet for him, and the Senate declines
to consider "he advice or opinions bl his
subordinates as having any legal bearing
upon the defense of his official acts. Widely
as the Senate had opened the way for the
accused to prove the intent which he alleg
es in excuse for his official acts, and liberal
ly as they1 have.for the most part, construed
the rules of evidence.many times waiving,in
the interests of an impartial development
of the (ruth in its minutest particulars, the
stringent and well-settled principles upon
which those rules have been founded, even
this liberal and unprecedented impartiality
could not clothe the opinions and advice of
third parties with the fairtest shadow o
just relevancy to the question of innocence
or guilt. -The Senate gave to Mr. Johnsoo
unlimited scope in his efforts to show.by his
own private or official declarations and acts,
the nature of hisobjections to the law and
the; intent which he claims to have been
governed by, and which he would Lave
manifested in any of his proceedings to re
sist it. The declarations and advice of oth
er persons, whether Cabinet officers, press
correspondents or otherwise, are properly
held to be foreign to that or any other branch
of the issue, and were excluded accordingly.
Nothing indeed, could have made these ex
traneous matters admissible as proof except
the adoption of the Sumner resolution, or
its equivalent, which proposed, in effect, to
permit either, party to offer evidence at its
discretion, admitting all and rejecting noth
ing the adoption of which, asjsuch, would
have extended the trial to the dog days.
The testimony having substantially term
inated, the arguments will follow, and the
present week will likely suffice to bring the
case to a close, . Whatever may be 'the re
sult, the verdict of the Court will be anx
iously looked for by the whole country.
Taxation of Nation al Bank Stock.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has
decided in a ' suit brought by the county of
Montgomery against ; Win. Mintzer, that
shares of national bank stock, in. the hands
of stockholders, are liable to State tax. The
leading intent of the twenty-third section of
the act of Assembly ot April 29, 1844, is to
reach money in every form of investment.
It is equally clear that the shares in nation
al banks have been by express provision in
the forty-first section of the National Bank
ing Taw of June 3d, 1S64, left open to state
taxation as a part of the personal estate of
the holder, provided the rates of taxation
do not exceed that assessed upon other mon
eyed capital in the hands of individual citi
zens "of the State, and do not exceed the
rate imposed by the State upon her own'
State banks. (4 P. F. ' Sua. 610.) ."The
language of several provisions of the act bf
Congress (says Justice Nelson 'of the Uni
ted States Supreme Court: Van Allen vs.
Nolan, Am. Law Reg. VoL 5 p. 610) is so
explicit and positive as scarcely to call for
judicial construction." '

BRADFORD vs. GOSHEN.
OPINION OF THE SUPREME COURT.
About a year ago Bradford township com
menced proceedings before Justices Porter
and Shugart of this Borough,-to compel
Goshen township to receive and support one
Neely Green, and his family, who had be
come a township charge. -The Justices
made an order of removal, deciding that
Goshen township washable for his support.
From this judgment the Overseers of Goshen
appealed to the Quarter Sessions. Counsel
were employed Mr. Wallace for Bradford,
andMr. Swoope for Goshen. The case came
on for argument, when thS Court reversed
the order of the Justices, deciding that
Bradford was the legal place of settlement
of the pauper, and liable for. his support.
The counsel for Bradford township then took
the case to the Supreme Court on Certiorari,
and during the winter a bill was passed by
the Legislature to give the Supreme Court
powerto determine this class of cases on the
merits. The Supreme Court held, howev
er, that the bill did not meet the case, and
declined to examine it on the merits, affirm
ing the opinion of Judge JLinh, by which
Bradford township is made liable for the
support of the pauper.
We append the opinion of the Court, as
delivered by Justice Strong:
This is an appeal from an order of the
Court of Quarter Sessions, vacating an or
der for removal of a oauner. made bv two
Justices of the Peace. It is accompanied.
by a certiorari to bring up the record. It is
almost needless to say that in such a case no
appeal can be taken to this court, the 1 9th
Section of the Act of June 13, 1836, enacts
that any person aggrieved by an order ot
removal, made by magistrates, may appeal to
the next Court of Quarter Sessions, for the
county from which such poor person may be
removed, and not elsewhere, and i: tuore be
any delect ot form in such an order, the
said court shall cause the same to be amend
ed, without cost to the party, and af ler such
amendment, if the same be necessary, shall
proceed to hear and determine the cause uu-
on its truth and merits." The 24th section
enacts that '"if any magistrate shall refuse
to grant a warrant or order of removal as
aforesaid, (that is as described in the 16th
section) it shall be lawful for the overseers
aggrieved by such refusal, to appeal to the
next Court of Quarter Sessions, of the
county in which such magistrate resides, who
shall thereupon hear a'nd finally determine
the same." And the 44th eection enacts
that "if any person shall be aggrieved by
the judgment of any one or more magis
trates in pursuance of this act, he may ap
peal to the next Court of Quarter Sessions,
for the county in which such magistrates
reside (except in cases herein specially pro
vided for ) whose decision in all such cases
shall be final and conclusive." It is mani
fest from these provisions that the statute
contemplates no appeal to this court, and oo
hearing ot the merits, after they have been
determined by the Court of Quarter Ses
sions. And so it has been decided in Mif
flin township vs.' Elizabeth, 6 Harris. 17.
And in Mauchchunk vs. Nescopeck, 9 Har
ris, 49, the same thing was asserted. The
appeal must therefore be dismissed. There
remains then nothing for us to examine but
the regularity of the proceedings, as they
appear in the record brought up by the cer
tiorari, aud of tLat I here is no complaiut.
Tne single assignment of error is that the
court erred in discharging and vacating the
order of removal when they should have
confirmed the order and vacated the appeal.
We are thus invited to decide this case upon
the merits, as if it was an appeal to us.
This we cannot do. The certiorari brings
up nothing but the record. We cannot look
outside of that to determine where the set
tlement of the pauper was, and neither the
evidence returned, nor: the opinion of the
court, justifying the judgment, is any part
of the record. In some of the earlier cases,
it is true, this court has, on the hearing of
a certiorari, considered the evidence alleged
to have heen submitted to the Court of Quar
ter Sessions, but this erroneous practice has
been corrected. Ia Overseers of South
Huntingdon vs. Overseers of East Hunting
don, 7 Watts, 527. it was decided that the
redress we can give is confined to a review of
the regularity and legality of the proceed
ings. The eaine thing was intimated, at
least, in Shippen vs. Gaines, 5 Harris,' 38.
In Derry vs. Brown, 1 Harris, 390, which
was a proceeding under the Act of 1836.
though not an order of removal and a cer
tiorari, it w as said there is no mode provi
ded in the law by which the facts can be le
gitimately before this court, that neither the
opinion of the court nor the evidence given
in the Quarter Sessions oppose any part of
the record, or can be made so by any
form of proceeding poiuted out by the law.
And in Mauchchunk vh. Nescopeck, 9 Har
ris,. 57,f it was carefully ruled that the evi
dence is not brought up by a certiorari to
the Quarter Sessions, in a question of set
tlement, aud that though the judije may in
corporate the facts into his opinion, the legal
effect is the same, as the opinion is no part
of the record. The case distinctly rules that
as to the merits of such cases, the decisions
of the Quarter Sessions are final and conclu
sive. And this is in accordance with : the
general doctrine with regard to writs of cer
tiorari, The law has furnished no mode by
which .evidence given in the Quarter Ses
sions or the opinion of the court can be
brought upon the tecord. No bills of excep
tions have hitherto been allowable. At the
present session of the Legislature an attempt
has indeed been made to assimilate proceed
ings for the removal of paupers to trials in
Courts ot Common Pleas, so far as to allow
bills of exceptions; but in the record now
before us no exception appears to have been
taken. We have then nothing that enables
us to review the merits of the judgment
given in the court below, and as the pro
ceedings are regular uporr their face, the
order vacating the order of removal made
yA j iustices must be affirmed.
Order of the Court of Quarter Sessions
affirmed.

The Contested Election Case.
The democratic cop papers of this district
show their usual "fairness" in dealing with
the .election case of Robison v?. Shugart
that is, instead of giving- the report ot the
committee or the material facts, they inti
mate that the committee gave Mr. '.Robison
his seat contrary to their oaths atd without
regard to justice. This invidious method of
disposing of political questions is quitecom
mon among a certain set who were, 'luting
the rebellion, noted for the same course, and
we have no doubt they would have the pub
lic believe, although they daily outlie Satan
himself, that they are the only honest and
conscientious men, and that all others are
rascals ! " "' .
If "justice" were meted out, as called for
by the democratic papers of this district, the
Senate of Pennsylvania would institute a
strict inquiry how far Win. A. Wallace,
chairman of the democratic state committee
and Senator from Clearfield, was committed
or concerned in bribing a witness to leave
the State, for the catholic priest Tracy ad
mitted on the stand before the committee
that he had paid O'Mara five hundred dol
lars to leave it.
If "justice" were meted out, those who
hid away a witness named Jones, after he
was fcubpeenaed by the sergeant-at-arms,and
carried food to him daily from a hotel where
the coffee-colored Irishmen were quartered,
in order to prevent him from testifying,
would be the inmates of a jail.
If "justice" were nieted out, one of the
contractors who had in charge the wretched
and perjured instruments of the Philipsburg
fraud, and slipped a witness from a railroad
car while in charge of an officer, would be
the inmate of a jail.
If "justice" were meeted out, the black
hearted scoundrels who brutally murdered
the poor Irishman near Clearfield, after he
had testified before the committee and told
the truth.as he was sworn to do, would have
ropes around their necks and be swinging
under the gallows.
"Justice" calls for the punishment of
fraud, bribery, penury and murder, but she
will call in vain on tho.se who justify treason
and rebellion ; bat justice may not sleep for
ever, and the day may not be distant when
more justice will be administered than has
entered the noddles of the aiders, abettors
and defenders of the coffee colored dcnioc
racy.for we have an abiding faith that there
is honesty and independence enough among
the true democrats of this district who,
when they become satisfied that the sacrei
name democracy is not only perverted to
Calhoun nullification but tu basest frauds,
will-leave the wolves in sheep's clothing.and
come to the aid of the great party which is
now endeavoring to restore this country to
quietness and peace. Leicixtown tfazette.
Inhumanity. The New York papers re
cord a case of hardship and inhumanity al
most unparalleled. On Thursday evening,
a poor woman, a Catholic, but recently a
mother.attended her church, hearing her in
fant in her arms. The babe died during the
services, and the unhappy mother, discov
ering the melancholy fact, and unable to're
tain her feelings, shrieked aloud in her dis
tress, and ran Jo the sacristy, and sulxse
quently into the street, where she was ar
rested on the charge of disturbing a re i
pious meetint. She was removed to the
Eighth Precinct' station-house, bearing her
dead babe iu her arms, and then sent -by
Capt. Mills to the Fifteenth Precinct., his
own cells being full. Arriving there, the
sergeant in charge telegraphed to the Cap
tain of the Eighth to know if the ".woman
with the dead infant" was to be locked up.
The model captain replied in the affirmative,
an J the woman and the dea 1 chi!d spent the
weary night together in a cell. JudpeLed'
with, when the case came before him yes
terday, discharged the prisoner on the
ground that such an inhuman punishment
w s sufficient for even, the most disorderly
character. : "
A Strong Point. The Nation of this
week has an able editorial on the Impeach
ment and concludes with the following par
agraph : ,
We cannot leave this subject without
saying that one fact was proved which ought
to result in the President's conviction his
direct official communication to the Alaba
ma Legislature advising a defeat of the
XlVth Amendment. Here was a bold and
plain violation of hi3 official duty ; a bold
and plain interference with the exclusive
functions of Congress.
"South Carolina reconstructs herself. The
election last week resulted in the adoption
of a Constitution based on free and progres
sive principles, and the choice of State offi
cers who will administer her affairs in the
same spirit, and the election of Congress
men who will reinforce the great radical par
ty of the country. The first state to secede,
she is the first to be completely reconstruct
ed. Although the returns are incomplete,
it is certain that the majority will be suffi
ciently decisive.
The wife of a mechanic died lately in De
troit, and on the night after the body had
been laid out one of the watchers thought
she discovered signs of life. .Restorative
were applied and the body warmed, and at
the end of five days life was restored, the
patient opening her eyes, aud is now in a
fair way of recovery. The coffin had been
prepared, and the body placed in it ; and,
but for the discovery of the watchers, un
doubtedly there would have been a case of
burying alive.

The Little T.o& Republican? the 8th of

that the Legislature now in session is a

teenth article of the National Constitution,
! which was expected to be done speedily,
two Senators "will be elected, and Arkansas
will be readmitted into the uationa! sister

sage is a straight forward aud manly docu
ment. Who can read the following extract
from it without asking what sort of a man
or being that must be who can object to re
construction based upon such Christian prin
ciples : '
If the principles of the constitution under
which you act, and by which you must be
governed, be fully carried out in legislation
and in practice.the interest of a few will no
more crush out, the energies and liberty of
the people, but every human being in the
State will feel confident that his life, liberty,
character, and property are tully and equal
ly protected. Class rule, class monopoly,
and class oppression wilhno more be known.
All the citizens of the State are free.and en
titled to seek their own happiness in their
own way, so long as they obey the laws.and
respect the rights of others. Hence each
one can, without reference to his past
condition, press on in the race of life,in the
full confidence that he will be protected in
all his rights and acquisitions by the whole
force of the State through its laws and their
faithful enforcement. If the leading princi
ple of the constitution be wisely carried out
by the legislative department, and energet
ically and impartially enforced by the judi
ciary and executive departments, general
prosperity, good sill, and happiness must
soon prevail among the people, inasmuch as
the constitution is founded on that noble ax
iom announced by the Saviour of the world:
"Whatsoever you would that others
should do to you, do you even so to then."
Terrible Railroad Disaster. On the
morning of April 15th, one of the most ter
rible disasters on record, occurred at Carr's
Hock, on the line of the Erie Railway, six
teen miles above Port Jarvis, where the
bed of the road is cut in the side of a ledge
of rocks someenty sevfeet above the bed of
the river. The train was running at a great
speed, and was thrown off the track by the
breaking of a rail. - Four of the cars rolled
over the precipice and were broken to pieces.
To add to the horror of the scene, one ot
the cars took fire and was consumed, togeth
er with a number of passengers. Twenty-
four persons are known to have been killed
and died bf wounds received. Fifty others
were more or levs injured, several of whom
were not expected to live. The wounded
were taken to Port Jarvis, where everything
possible has been done for their relief and
comfort.' -
