A Bold and Truthful Letter.
A Sensible R'epubilean'a Exposure of the
Seheme to Destrey the Government.
The New York Times, 'edited by. Henry
J. ,Raymond, • a member of tho present
Congress, and thoroughly acquainted with
the revolutionary designs of the Radicals,
last week published the_ following in its
THE IMPENDItio COUP D'ETAT AT WAEHINOTON.
Ro the FM;for of the New York Rime ft:
When constitutional government is in
peril there is always warning of the im
pending danger. A _coup (Mat ie.looked
for, end men forewarned feel yet tut if they
were 'not forearmed. The blow is struck
not by an open enemy ; it comes from a
— thirter - in - which power has been constitu
tional y placed for the preservation of the,
very government.,,the destruction of which
is compassed. • 'The safeguards of constitu
tional liberty are swept away in the pre
tended interests of the nation, .but really
because they stand in the way of the men
or the party in power. 'They fear that
their power and constitutional government
cannot exist together, and therefore they
destroy constitutional government. Is
such a trifle to Mind in the way of their
great purposes? This, as we all remember,
was the way`in which Louis Napoleon,
President of the French Republic, usurped
power and made himself Emperor. He
was made President because he had per
suaded a majority of the French people
that he of all men was beat fitted to pre
serve, protect and defend the constitu
tional government of the French Repub
lic. He made himself the autocrat of
France and destroyed its et:lnstitutional
government by sweeping a co-ordinate
branoh of that government out of his
path, in the coup d'efat of the 3d - of De
cember.. For this kind of political usur
pstion we have to use a French name.
Our language, famed by a people in whose
cradle were the seeds of popular liberty,
and:which advanced steadily to constitu.
tionfel government from the time it left
thOcandinavian forests, happily furnish
'eirtts with. no word . or p hrase expressive of
'net this action.
And yet it would seem that we have re
cently developed a pressing need for some
such phrase in our mother tongue, for few
at us are blind enough not to see that
there is now impending a coup d'etat at
Washington, 'lt hangs above our heads
st this very moment, and if Wps do not lay
aside all party hopes' , and fears, or in tact
all other considerations, it will fall upon
us as we are . gazing upon it with stupid
and 'lnactive apprehension.. The power by
which the existence of constitutional gov
ernment is imperiled in this country has
control of one-branch only of our govern
ment. It holds that power as the repre
sentative of only a majority of only a part
of the nation. A, large minority of the
constituents of the very members who at
present control the legislative .branch of
olir government are opposed to their so
tpl,eand yet moat submit and ought to
submit to that action, so long as it is con
stitutional. • Now it is the one cardinal
principle of constitutional • government
that within the provisions of the Consti
tution the rights of minorities as well as
those of majorities shall be safe. It •is
chiefly for_the protection of minorities
that constiutional government is estab
lished—that the party which, for the time
I being, has control of the executive and
legislative branches of the government
may not use its power exclusively in its
own interests; and in tyrannical disregard
of the rights of the minority. Therefore
it is that a constitution declares what the'
executive and. what the legislative power
may do, and either declares also that they
shall not do certain other things, or that
they shall do only that for which they re
calve' authority through the Constitution.
If this restraint is - broken through, either
by the legislative or executive power, con
stitutional government is at an end.,The
immediate objeCt in view-may be good,but
constitutional liberty is noue the less de;
stroyed, and the course over its ruins is
Made easy forevery chief executive or
any legislative majority thereafter. No
intelligent and moderately well-informed
citizen of this Republic needs to be told
that Congress is not supreme, that Con
gress bps no powers but those derived from
the Constitution, that it is the'crifattire not
• of the people directly, but of the people
through the Constitution, and that it may
transcend its powers as easily as the Presi
dent can transcend hie. From its nature,
its organization and its functions, it is the
most powerful branch of the government,
and is therefore the one to be most feared
and most jealously watched and restrained.
Upon it there are only two checks ; the
President's veto, which Congress itself can
put aside by a two-third's vote, and the
Supreme Court, which has no control over
the wisdols or the pitriotism of its acts,
but only over their legality. Imperfect as
these cheeks are, because they are of hu

enEcient, and they 'would always prove
sueleient for the security of constitutional
OBSERVER
government. Without them constitutional
liberty would not exist - for . a year ; but
at each passion of Congress we should be
at the mercy of an. irrepressible majority,
which, if. necessaisto its purposes, could
declare Massachusetts or Ohio, or both,
and New York besides, out of the Union,
which could impeach, the President at will
and suspend him from 'office until be
was declared either innocent or guilty, it
would make no matter; and which could
bid the Stipreme Court attend to its own
business, and not concern itself with the
legality of any act done by Eke majority.
fielid that this might be; but it is, except
for the mere formality of a passage by a
majority who vote by roll-call, and pass
between tellers lifter their leaders like
sheet, between gate poste. The purpose
of the majority of the present imperfect
Congress, as we all see, is to remove the
President,'and not only the President, but
the Supreme Court out of its way. We
see this, and we look on with apathy, and
go about our money-making, stupidly
trusting that nabarm will come from it,
and yet what is doing is that constitution
al government is destroyed before our
eyes. A bill , wps brought in on Monday,
by Mr. Williams, of Pennsylvenia. which.
ateolutely, is a bill' "to define the posi-,
=ere of the Supreme Court,"—of the Su
preme Court! whose powers are defined
by the Constitution, and the ohief objects
of whose creation was to define the pow
ers of Congress.m A more bare-faced at,
tempt at usurpation was. never seen ; a
more fatal blow to constitutional govern.
ment was never dealt. Yet what may we
not expect when Mr. Wilson reports a bill
which declares valid and conclusive cer
tain, proclamations and consequent acts
Which the Supreme Court can only declare
valid ? and when Mr. Boutwell does not
hesitate to declare, "with strong ' emetic'.
that the Supreme Coop exists but by
the breath of Congress—the Supreme
Court, created by thtereetor of Congress,
to interpret its laws laWte a check upon
its action I Congress his no more right to
define the powers of the Siipreme Court
than to define its own powers •or those of
the President. • The people have already
done all this through the Constitution ;
and the people mey change their defini
tion through the Constitution. When the
powers either of Congress, the President,
or the Supreme Court are abridged or en
larged in any:
.other - - way, constitutional .
'government is at an end, and constitu
tional liberty has for the time, perhaps
forever, been destroyed. Yet this propo
sition to define the powers or the Supreme'
Court, and to make a full bench and una
nimity necessary to any decision upon the,
constitutionality of the proceedings of
the majority in Congress, was not rebuked
- nor laughed down. but actually referred
to the Judiciary Committee by .a vote of
one hundred' and seven to thirty-nine.
Did it occur to these legislators that the
time may not be far distant when one
Judge, perhaps a Taney, may by his ab
sence delay, or• by his obstinacy defeat a
judgment upon the constitutionality of an
act of Congress, ivhialejudgment may be
in their opinion of cue =neat importance 7
Or do they mean to say that although a
full bench and unanimity_are eeeeseary . to
tise• ...liaison of proceedings in the Su
preme Court, the acts of a mere majority
of Congress must be just, valid. constitu
tional ? These things are done before us ;
the doom of our gOvernment is on -the .
brink of execution ; and yet we are quiet !
Will nothing rouse us ? Are we as sluggish
of apprehension now, on the one hand, as
we were before the rebellion, on the other?
Our government is in peril now as it was
then ; not of disintegration, but of usur
pation—the usurpation of absolute power
by the temporary representatives of •a ma
jority of the poople of a part of the coun
try. The men whom the whole country,
except a degraded though influential part
of the Democratic party, trusted during.
the rebellion with the task of preserving
the nation, are using their trust- now lo
perpetuate their own power and. preserve.
their own party. They pursue the course
they have taken, is we all know, from the
fear. of the return of the Democratic party
to power. That would indeed be a calam
ity ; but there is one possible which is so
much greater that the former dwindles
into nothing in'comparison—the' destruc
tion, not of the Constitution, which might
be made better or worse and little hared
be; done, but of something much greater
than the Constitutionconstitutional gov
ernment. Of this, we may be sure, that
the preaent course df Congress will, if con
tinued, end either in the destruction of
constitutional government or the restora
tion of this 'Democratic party. If the
President is impeached and suspended
from office during his trial, and the pow
ers of the Supreme Court are defined by
Congress, the impending coup d'et , W will
have been. struck and the majority of
an imperfect Congreis will be absolute
master of.the whole country not only now
but at any time - hereafter,
YANKIIII CURIOSITY:A Newport (R. L
correspondent of the New York World
tells this giaod story : I have "just come
across an anecdote of a notable man in
this place, which I think will look well in
print, and deserves to ge "the rounds" of
the press. Hon. Duncan C. Pell, who was
Lieutenant Goyernor-ot the State lasty?ar,
is a man ' of considerable eccentricity of
character—a whole-souled, good-hearted
individual, but decidedly "odd" in many
respects. Nothing . so much disturbs his
equanimity as for persons to exhibit a
curious disposition and attempt to know
more of 'his affairs than he chose to tell.
Many years ago, Mr. Pell was about to
erect a fence around one of his lots in the
city, and, in order to save himself
from the daily interrogatories which he
knew would be made, by his neighbors
and passers-by. he had a sign painted, on
' which he displayed all the information in
regard to the fence which he fancied
, could possibly be desired for demanded.
He narrated concisely the following facts:
Who was owner 'of the land ; why be
fencpd'it in.; how much lumber the fence
was to contain ; where he bought it, and
how Mucha foot he paid for it ;' the qual
ity Of nails to he well ; the came of the
builder, and the exact amount of land to
be encloied. Self-satisfied that, he bad
answered all the questions that ceould be
asked, Mu Pell was quite happy at, the
-idea that he had freed- himself entirely
from impertinent inquiries. Bat one
night, or rather early
. on a disagreeable
morning, Mr. Pell was awakened from a
deep sleep by a loud knocking at- the
front door. The call appeared tote so
urgent that Mr. Pell thrust his head out
of the window and demanded, in no gen
tle tone, "what in the—was the mat
ter." Standing, shivering, in his only gar-,
ment, Mr. Pell held the following collo
quy with the intruder: .
"Does• Mr. Pell live bertg,L. .
"Yes. What do you want 1"
"Mr. Duncan C Pell." "Yes"
"Is it Mr. Pell who is building'the fe..z.e
on Mary street ?"
"Yes, yes, certainly. What of it I"
"Well, Mr. Duncan C Pelt., do you in
tend Co paint that fence or will you white
wash it?',
The answer and the Window went down
together, and Mr. Pell retired to bed. sat;
isfied that these could be no escape from
i 'genuine Yankee inquisitiveness, i
E t numary iv Canon.— A letter writer
from Germany says:- "And here I may
note one of the excellencies of German
churches. Nobody has his own pew,
therefore everybody has equal title to a
seat, and the poor never , feel themselves
excluded. The hamblerk peasant can
worship God in the Itineslohapel. There
are no aristocratic: churches where 'to the
poor the Gospelli not pteschtid.'"

Directions to Husbands.
NOT TO BB READ DY MD LADIEF,
- If your wife loves you, you need read
no fartber, for these directions are not in
tended for you. You need no directions.
You can get drunk as often.as you please,
be guilty of robbery, assassination, battle,
murder, sudden death and privy conspi
racy, and make ydur wife believe,' by
means of a single kiss, that you are one of
the saints of the earth..
For those husbands who only appar
ently, not really,have mastered the hearts
of their wives, we lay dciWn the following
directions:—
If on your wedding night you• fail to
get drunk and break all' your mother-in
lavesi crockery, do something equally as
outrageous as soon as; possible. You will
then always be able to scare your wife in
to submission by reminding ?ler of what
you have done, and what-you may be pro
voked to do again.
, If your wife is food of entertainment,
and you are not, wait till her fashionable
friends are assembled at the house, and
then walk into the parlor with nothing on
but • your shirt and - stockings.
doubtless have the effect of making "the'
csnipany, fly the room." . .
If you are fond of smoking the pipe, and
your wife complaind of your breath on ac-
count of it, eat onions ; it will make her
forget the pipe.
If you have a baby, groan as if your last
hour had come, whenever it begins squall
ing at night. You Will not then be called
upon to walk it. -
As sick rooms are not pleasant, always
have business that will keep- you down
town the whole day, and half the night,
when your wife is sick.
When you get home at four o'clock in
the morning, after having lost a month's
earnings ''fighting the tiger." or playing a
"game of draw" with yotir friends, tell
your wife your business is getting-so large
that the labor of carrying it on is breaking
down . your constitution, and you - must
take in a partner; but •when she. men
tions a new dress, shako your head and
talk about economy and hard times.
If your wife is very religious and fond
of entertaining ministers, take advantage
of the first opportunity to insult one of
these gentlemen in your own house. It
can be done with perfect impunity, and
will deter others from calling during meal
hours, or any other time.
If your circunastancea are such that you
find it nece.sarf to practice economy, be
gin with your table, and dine every day
at a restaurant.
There are certain little things that must
be done daily by one or theother of every
married couple. Impress upon your wife
that the performance of these is very dis
tasteful to you. and force her to attend
'to them herself. Among these is the
kindling of fire in the morning, if you
have no servant. Lie in bed and let your
wife do it. Also, wait for her to pour out
the water for you to wash, brush your
clothes and rano. oUppers by a cnalr
before £he re. When all is prepared, get
out of. bed and dAse yourself ; take care
not to show, by word or look,, that you
appreciate the little attentions that have
been shown yon. But - if you find that
any of them have been overlooked, be very
cross and fretful during the rest of the
morning.
When you are asked to go out to make
an evening call, complain of a bad head
ache.
Make it a point never to 'praise any dish
on the table, especially the one to which
you know ynur wifl has given her per;
tonal attention. Such a course will sup
press any lurking vanity there allay he in
her nature.
When you are in a room together, Al:
ways occupy the most comfortable seat,
after having offered it to her in such a
way that she can't with any propriety ac-
cept it.
Give her the choice of any dish you are
carving, after having repeatedly informed
her what part you yourself prefer.
. Keep.her,in perfect ignorance as tcv'the
condition of your business, although, she
is as deeply interested in it as you are, and
no injury can result to it by your telling
her all about it. By keeping it to your
self you have the satisfaction" of feeling
that you are superior to her because you
know what she does not.
If from any cause you are detained at
borne, and find the time heavy on your
hands, it may be that your wife is inter
ested in a novel that she, is about half
through with. Take it from her as if you
merely wished to glance at it ; sit down
and read it by the hour. She, in the
meati, time, may amuse herself with sew
ing.
If you do not keep a carriage, and your
wife tells you that she and the children
need an airing tell her in wait for the
death of one of her friends, when she may
ride to the funeral free of cost.
If any of your wife's relative; come to
stay at the house let the high price of
provisions be the sole topic of converge.
tion in their hearing ; but borrow all the
money you can from your father-in-law,
and if he keep; a carriage never dream of
getting one yourself.
When you wish to make your wife a
preient, buy something that is absolutely
necessary about the house, and never let
slip an oportunity. of making her !beak
you for it. -
Whenever you are sick enough to lay
up at home, exaggerrite your symptorhs,
and make your wife believe you are going
to die. If she has any heart at all, she
will nurse you better for it.
Once after Sheridan had lost at play all
the money he had last borrowed, and was
passing out into the street, feeling in a
very bad humor, he saw a poor fellow
stooping down to tie his shoe. So what
should he do but kick the man over on
his face, with the remark, "D—n you, you
are always tying your shoe; !" When a
man is in a bad humor, it is a great re•
lief to him to find some object on which
he can vent his wrath without running
any personal risk. A Married man will
always - 6nd such an object in his amiable
wife. Whenever you feel worried about
anything, abuse your , wife ; it will be a
great relief to you. And when she ap
pears before company with eyes rod from
weeping, assume the most afrtptionate
manner and chide her for going cMt
ping on such a raw, windy day.
There I we are certain we shall have
the. heartfelt thanks of all wives that
chince to peruse the above (which. how.
ever. is intended solely tor their bus.
bands), and that is the only boon we
crave.
FACTS ABOU T Toneeco.—There
mate where tobacco is not used, no nation
ality which has not adopted it. European,
Turk, Chinaman, Indian, African and Can
nibal Islander, - all use this wonderful
vegetable. Botanists state that there are
forty distinct species of this weed, which'
seems highly% probable. Tho weed was
first introduced into Franca in 1500, and
since that time has gradually come into
use among all nations. The total annual
production of tobacco has been estimated
at 2,000,0001 tons. The whole amount of
wheat consumed annually in the British
islands is four and one-third millions of
tons, so that the tobacco burned and
chewed in`i the world annually, weighs
nearly as much as the wheat used to teed
the population of Great Britain.
J. B. was a stingy old creature, eager for
money ; hut he was a zealous •mentiser of
a church and ostentatious in his religions

brother, "what could have made that
