and persecutors of all times; and their path=
way through the long line - - of history, froni
its earliest dawn to the present time, has
been marked with carnage and desolation.
With such men, no argument based upon the
Constitution and 'established laws can hare
any effect- They are too pure and immacu
late to be fettered by the restraint of consti- ;
tutional or written laws.
They are of law unto themselves, and both ;
men and gods must conform to • their views
and theories, or receive their bitterest male
dictions, But our people will never submit
to have their Chief Magistrate arraigned
for trial for offenses unknown to the
laws, and which exist only in the heated
bruins of his political enemies. It would be
a precedent disastrous in its censequemes
and subversive of our political institutions.
We cannot doubt that the evidence, here
with, this day submitted, will be received
with one universal burst of indignation by
1 the Amefican people. If they retain ally just
pride in their country and its institutions,
_they will blush to find that the chief officer
!of theirgovernment has tbr ten months been
t subjected to the scrutiny of a secret star
chamber, an inquisition unparalleled in its
character in the annals of etvilization,
t. A drag-net has been put to catch every
maliCious whtsper throughout the land, and
all the vile vermin, who had gossip or span.
der to retail, hearsay or otherwise, have been
. permitted to appear and place, it upon record
for the delectation of mankind. Spies have
been sent over the land to hear something
which might blacken the name and charac
ter of the Chief Magistrate of our country.
Unwhipped knaves have given information
of fabulous letters and,documents, that, like
the ignus fatuus, eternally elude the grasp of
their pursuers, and the chase ever resulted
only in aiding the depiction of the public
Treasury.
That most notorious character, General
Lafayette C. Baker, Chief of the Detective
force, even had the effrontery to insult the
American people by placing his spies within
the very walls of the Executive mansion.
The privacy of the President's home, his pri
vate life and habits and most secret thoughts,
have not-been deemed sacred or exempt from
' invasion.
The members or his household have been
examined, and the chief prosecutor has not
hesitated to dive into lot , thsom e dun 4vcons and
consort with convicted felons for the pur
pose of accomplishing the object of sr•
raigning the' President on a charge of iltsEr
mous crime
'When we consider all these facts, and that
the investigation has been a secret and ex
pute one, that it has been so persistent and
untiring and carried on at a time of most un
paralleled party excitement,when the masses
of the dominant party were lashed into a
ild frenzy and led to believe that the Presi
#ent was guilty of treason ; when thousands
all over the Land really thought that it
would be a righteous act to get him out of
the way, by, any means, fair or foul; and
when he has been hunted down by partisan
malice as no man was ever hunted and
-hounded down before, it is really wonderful
That so little has been elicited that tends in
the slightest degree to tarnish thethe fillr fame
of - the President- The American people
ought to congratulate thelnselves, for the
sake of the reputation of their country, that
the failure has been so emphatic anti cent:
pie to. .
In that we have said of the character of
the ev deuce taken before us anti the means.

:is refl ding upon the action of the cella-agr.
tee or tiny member thereof. Such an iabet
preLatiLn of our remarks would do great in
justice to us and to them. Whether such
latitude should have been 'given in the ex ,
;urination of witnes:es we will not now. in-
One. • -
Inan investigation before, a committee, it
would be difficult, and, perhaps, impossible
to confine the- Yvidence to such as would
be deemed admissible before a court of jus
tice. ' Indeed, it may be questioned whether
it would be proper so to restrict it, and it is,
perhaps, better for--the President that those
who were nfanaging' the prosecution front
outside, were prompted to present anything
that they might call or consider as el-file:we,
as the world can thus the better comprehend
how utterly - destitute of foundation is all
this clamor that has heed raised against hint.
The first witness examined was General
Lafayette C. Baker, late Chief of the Detec
tive police, and although examined on oath,
time and again and on various occasions, it
is doubtful whether he has in any one thing
told the truth, even by accident. In every
important statement he is contradicted by
witnesses of unquestionable credibility, and
there can be no doubt, that to,many previous
outrages,:entitling, him to an unenviable im
mortality, he has added that of wilful and
deliberate perjury. We are glad to know
that no one memberof the committee deemed
any statement made by him as worthy of the
slightest credit. 'What a blush ofshameWill
tingle the cheek of the American student in
future ages, when he reads how this misera
ble wretch for years held, as it were, in the
hollow of hid hand, the liberties of the Amer
can people; that clothed with power by a
reckless administration, and with his hordes
of unprincipjed tools and spies- penetrating
the land evefywhere ; with - uncounted thous
ands of the people's money placed in his
hands for his vile purposes, that creature not
only had the power to arrest without crime
or writ, and imprison without limit, any citi
zen of the Republic, but that he nein* did
so arrest thousands all over this bind, and
filled the prisons all over the country with
the victims of his malice or that of his mats—
ter.
The whole system, such an outrage upon
the Constitution and every principle of free
government, anti-American and anti-republi
can, has, with its originators and supporters,
thank -God, been damned to eternal infamy :
and - it is pleasant. to reflect that not only tlx
system but its unscrupulous agent. will go
down to posterity loaded with infamy and
followed by the curses of millions: -
It sometimes happens that the administra
tion of the most dangerous usurpation is
placed in the:hands of men so respectable
for character and talent as to disarm suspi
cion, axLcoeiliate even those whose liber
ties arg ona - angered. We have reason to be
thankful to an ever-kind and merciful Provi
dence, that the' worst feature of the worst
despotism, when the attempt was made, in
an unhappy hour, to transplant it to our free
American soil, was placed, for its administra
tion, in the hands of a class of men so desti
tute of manhood and character as to arouse
the undying scorn of the entire people ; and
as Use infamous outrages were not saw.
tinned by any precedent in our own comatv,
it is hoped and believed that they will Heuer,
throughout 'all time, be deemed wort. 4 of

- It is not our purpose now to attempt an an
aiksis or discussion of the evidence taken be
tor des, or to point out the gross absurdities
and inconsistency of a very large portion of
it. It will be read and be considered by the
American people, and we cannot doubt what
their verdict will be when those who have
been attempting to load with disg raCe and
infamy the Chief Magistrate of our country,
shall stand pilloried in the undying scout and
indignation of a great people.

Tim report of Gen. Grant mentions the re
niarkable fact that (luring the past year no
fewer than 13,000 men have deserted from
the army. The greater Part of these deser
tions, we presume, occurred on the plains,
where itis well known that men often' enlist
in Westward hound regiments for:the express
purpose of gettingeheap and safe conveyance
to the mining regions. During the last sea
son, for example; more than half of the
Seventh Cavalry (taster's) decamped with
their horses, arms and accouterments, and
probably made their way to the gold regions
of Colorado and Montana. Ailesperado, who
wants to reach the diggings, has only to en
roll himself in some command bound for the
Indian country, and he is pretty sure of an
opportunity to make off when he has march
ed as far as he chooses to go. The numberof
recruits during the year was 34,000, so that
the desertions reach the_ enOrmons ratio of
nearly 40 per -Cent. of the enrollments.
SEVERAL Senators and Representatives
have called on Secretary - Stanton, mainly for.
eliciting his - vietvs 'on his suspension, Mr.
Stanton said he had no desire whatever to
resume his position in the War Department,
but he thought Congress should take some
action in the matter, and make his case a
test one under the Tenure-of-Office bill, with
a view to rebuke Mr. Johnson_ for his unwar
rantable assumption of power.—Trilaine'*
