Wednesday. Oct. 24, 1566.
The troubles in Baltimore, a brief
mention ot' which will be lound in our pa- j
per of today, are growing more and moie
seiiotts ; and it is feared may result i.i an
insurrection or civil war, which the radical
rebels seem determined on bringing about, i
in some way. J. VY, Forney, boldly coun
sel* resistance to the legal authorities in
.Maryland and promises aid from his ful
lowers in tl. is state. It is said that beast ,
Butler has promised to lead 10,000 men
from Massachusetts, to oppose the State j i
ar.d Federal authorities,in maintaining the
law, The radicals in Baltimore are orga
nizing and drilling negro troops and their ,
abettors foi the expected collission Scri- .
ous riots have already occurred, in which :
numbers of citizens have been killed and
wounded. The Police Commissioners re- !
fuse tube tried for their official misconduct
and declare their purpose to resist with,
arms any attempt to remove them from ,
office.

Another week may find the country in- !
volved in a civil war.
Secretary S -ward has had a return of his ;
illness, and his son, Mr. Frederick W.Sew- j
ard. lias been appointed Secretary of State
pro. tempore.
Matthias W. Baldwin, the great loc--mo
tive builder of Philadelphia, died in that |
city last Friday, in the 71st year of his
age.
Dearf Richmond has left an estate val- ;
ued at a million and a half of doil .rs, to |
his five sons and daughters he gives £SO.
000 each and to his wife the balance of his ,
estate.
THE IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT.- j
Mr. Bingham, of the Offio Congressmen'
went so far in a recent speech as to say that j
if re lected
"So help me God, I will neither give
sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eye j
lids, until I shall have drawn bills of im- j
peacliineut against Andrew Johnson."
This is the intention —and Bingham is a
leading light among lhe Radical members \
of Congress. Reelect enough of these j
mi n, and we have the country coi vtdscd
by a trial of impeachment which will shake
its commerce ami trade from top to bottom, j
and from bottom to top. (\'. Voik Fx- !

•Geary Alter the Election.
Geary, the disunion candidate for Gov
ernor, has been heard from since the elec
tion. On Tuesday evening last, lie made a
speech to his followers in riarrisburg, when
he glorified his own election and exulted ,
over the defeat of lus opponent. In the i
course of bis remarks he proclaimod that '
his election has established the following
propositions, which we copy from the j
*• Press" of the 11th instant, viz ;
It permanently establishes the fact that
the Government of the United States is !
vested in the An eiican people and in their
Representatives in Congress assembled
ami hot iri a corrupt Executive.
And upon this strong and granite foun- i
dation we shall now proceed to fortify '
against the inroads of time and the attacks |
* ' *
of treason, the following truths and cove- I
nants;
"That the Government of the people, by |
tl e people and fo the people, shall not
perish from the earth :
'TI at cruel and revengeful traitors, do- ;
featctl in battle, s tall not be restored to ruin
the country they' attempted to destroy : j
'That when our fore/it tiers declared man
capable ot self government, they rejected j
the Iwicsy of human slavery, and pledged ,
equal political rights to all their successors.
'That hereafter the citizen represented
in the State and National Legislatures must j
be clothed with the rights of citizenship: i
•That all i he agencies of the Government. !
civil and miiiiai v, must be - perseieringly
and sjeruly exercised to protect, vindicate,
mid if i eed be, avenge our oppressed broth
ers in the South against the savage persecu
tions of rebels who are still so impenitent
and defiant that even Andrew Joimsoti
fears U pardon them.'
Divested of all extraneous matter this
proi.uiiciamento, means that the Disunion
jnr;ty will exercise their political power to
disfranchise the white men of the South
mid ttifiancbise the blacks; and that the
armv i$ to be used to carry out this and
other disunion projects if it becomes neces

'J'We eleven foot appears as soon as it is
indicated that the election lias gone in fa
vor of the Disnnionists. So anxious is the
leader of the Radicals to proclaim his and
their policy that he cannot wait to have
the vote* counted.
If Geary's announcement is carried out,
we can see in the distance such an entire
revolution in our Government, that the Con
stitution will neithei be preserved in form
or substance. We have only to wait and

Impeaching thePresldent.
IRa'dftfal orators and * organs have
talked s, fl ppantly of impeaching the
1 President, have tuined the most solemn
and important duty devolvitg uporCCon
gre'st, tlie Seentc, and the Chief Justice, in
(to such a commonplace afiair that many
peopie seem to think the business can be
I hastened over with the same racility as a
j law suit in a country court or a diseussiou j
in a country debating society. They forget
1 that the Constitution carefully points out '
j the routine to lc followed when a man elect j
|ed by the people of the United States to I
! represent them and the power and dignity j
, of the nation at home and abroad, is to be ;
| tried for a will abai donni- nt of his duty.— I
l They overlook the fact that all the details i
of such a trial ate presented with a minute- j
nessand accuracy that forbi Is those engag- j
ed m it from straying from the leg d arid
con-titutional jiatlt. The bill of indictment I
must be drawn by-a certain specified form, i
The trial iwust take place before a differ i
ent body. The Chief Justice of the L'ni-i
ted States must preside, and the Senators ,
mu-t be sworn as jurors to act on the mo- j
mentous occasion, not as politicians, not as i
tnen eager ti ran excuse to depose a Presi- j
dent by means of the "bluck Hiid the ax," |
in order to h- >i 1 the reius of political power j
and thus be enabled to fid the different j
situations with their friends and tools, but!
as honest men, as patriot.-, with an eye sin
gle to the welfare of the whole people, the
unity of the States, and tlie prosperity ot
the nation.
Tlie same care taken by the framers of
the Constitution in hedging a trial of the
Chief Magistrate of the nation with due
forms and salt guard.*, extends to the sp< ci
fication of the bodies u hicli are to partici
pate in the solemn business. The H<>u-e
of Representatives is to jref> r the charges.
Tlie 2d section, article 1 of the Constitu
tion thus sets forth the maimer in which j
this Grand Jury 'otind a hill <>f impeach-j
tnent aganst the President is to be drawn j
fr-mi tiie ..ation :
The House of Represents!iv # shall be composed of
lie lit her* chns>!i every second ye ir by the |'ople of
t he sereral Slates , and the elector? in each State ]
shall have ihe qua :itk-;itiun nquisite .for electors of
of the iuot numerous bran hof the State Lcgisla
tuie.
It will be observed that by the provisions
of the Constitution a II of Representa
tives. to prefer charges against the Presi
dent, "shall be" compose ! of members cho
se i every so con l year by the people of the
"several States." Now, will it he couten
ded that a Congress i:i wliich ten State*
of the Union are utirepn s ented, not from
choice, but from compulsion, in such a Con
gress a* the Constitution contemplated to
bring < barges against t' : President, and
send thein to the Senate ? If the ten S:ates
mentioned neglected to send delegates to
Congress ; if they voluntarily refused to
partie'putin the legislative affairs of the
natin: : if they surrendered their rights by
a fret will choice, the case wou d be differ
ent. But they are now asking to have their
members of Congress admitted. That re
quest has been refuse I, and a sectional tna- !
jority has deprived Congress ot the power,
tinder tl e Constitution, to prefer charges
again-t the President, because that body is
! not compn-yd of members chosen bv tlie'
people compri-ing the "severa: State" of
the Federal Union.
But if the charges con! 1 be preferred, is
tbe Senate of the United States such a body
a* c o be constituted a court to try and sen
tence die I're-ident? Article 1, section 3
oft lie Constitution thu* declares what shall
constitute a legal Senate :
The Se- are of 'he United Stele? shall be composed
of two Senator? from each State chosen by the Lag
i?l :tnte thereof, for six years ; and each Senator
shall have one vote.
Senators are now absent from fen States
of the Union. Th v have hppn elected and
have presented their credential and cla-ms
for admi*-i"n under the Constitution. But
a sectional majority has refused their appli
cation. Under such a State of facis will
anv reasonable, fair mu: contend that the
Senate i* composed of two Senators f oni
j•' each St'te ?" If it is not, then it cannot
| trv the President; ftr the Constitution not
i onlv declares that the trial shrtM take place
before the Senate, but al-o specific* bow j
the Spnate shall he constituted. The jury
mti*t consist of two members from ''each j
State" of the Union. A bs* nnmher. tin- j
less absent from m-glect nn the part of the
people of the several States, is fatal to the I
i validity a"d legalitv of the proceedings It |
would not he contended for a moment that !
| if a majority of the Senators from the North |
I ern Suites were to <?iy that Maine, New '
| York and < >bio should not O" represented
lin the Senate, than tlie remainder of the
[ Senators could proceed in the matter of
j the impeachment of the President". And •
| vet this is a parallel ease with that of re- '
j fuing Sera'ors from the Southern States, !
so far as the constitutional ri<>ht of a sec
j tioral Senate to proceed in an impeach- j
mi nt case i* concerned.
It vvi'l thn* be seen that it. i* not so easy '
a mattet to impeach the President as the
Radical Fader* would m-'ke a portion of 1
1 the people believe. Tbe Chief Magistrate j
lias rich's which the Constitution guatds, :
as wel' as flu- people. The Radicals, how- ;
ever, in order to destnv tho*e rights and
to oht*i" possession of the office from the 1
moment when the summons for the Presi- ,
dent to appear ha* been issued, antnp !
thp pnsiti n'bnt the law deprives ihe Chief
Magistrate ofjall the powers at d functions of
his office pending the trial. This is false in !
law, against ad precedent, and dangerous
in a high degree to the safety and wel- i
fare of the nation. If this course be cn-1
dorsed. a political oarty may prefer arti- j
cle* of impeachment against a President
at the beginn'ng of his term ; the Senate
mav deprive him of the functions of his
office, and then refuse to proceed with the,
trial until the end of the term for which
lie was ohoen. thn* virtually making the i
election of a President a farce, and mcrg- j
ing the executive in the legislative, branch
of the nation. But such i* not the law or
practice in impeachment eaos. An offi
cer summoned to appe..r and answe** to nil
impeachment, mav make his selection
! from three alternative*, fie may appear
in person, by h'S eoursel, or he mav de
cline t appear at all. and take the con-e
--quences as n defendant do (, s in a civil suit.
In the ca*e of Justice Samuel Chase, of
the United States Supreme Court, im
| peached in ißus, the Senate, after orga* j
nizing as a high court of impeachment, j
Adopted ttie following as one of its rules j
of proceedings:
10. The person impeached shall then be called
to appear and answer the articles ot impeachment i
exhi' ited agjainst him If he appears, or aay per
son for hiin, :he appearance shall be r corded,
stating particularly if y himself or if by agent or
ettornejr, the same shall he recorded.
This rule is founded both upon the law
. and the reason of the case, and should gov
j ern a'l future impeachment trials before
| Senate of the United States. The Presi
dent may appear in person, by counsel, or
he may not appear at all; but in no case
: can he bu deprived of the functions of his
■ office until a fair trial has been had before
suoh a Senate As the Constitution of the
United States declares shall try impeach
-1 ment cases. There can be no mock pro
ceeding*, no fringing the representative of
! the people of the United States to the J
I "block and the ax." in open violation of
1 all constitutional rights and legal piece- !
1 dents. This may be accepted as a fact.
There are all these obstacles ir. the rev-1
' olutionarr path which the Radicals have '
marked out. The hope to depose the !
1 President and usurp supreme power in
I this country. But it cannot be done by 1
i carrying out the Butler impeachment pro \
\ gramme. The Constitution forbids such
fill outrage as that contemplated, and the '
President is sworn to uphold and defend !
the Constitution by all the means placed 1
at his ohposal. If the Radicals wish to 1
j *r>el against the law, let them make the i
| attempt. Punishment willj speedily fl-!
1 low any overt acts. In the meantime, the j
j eomojonsense of the country will ponder !
j such facts as those presented, and public
! opinion will see daog-r in overleaping the
barriers of the Constitution in order to
perpetuate partisan power.— Age,

THE RADICAL REBELS DETER
MINED ON VIOLENCE.

The Police Commissioners Defy the
Authority of the Governor.
THE RADICAL RRBEIiS ARMED AND
PR EPAKED TO ATTACK..
Forney Hired to Furnish Reinforce
ments From Philadelphia.
[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE WORLD.]
BALTIMORE, October 20.
The Radicals of t'ris Statu have set their
minds upon carrying the State election at
all hazards, and there is no room for doubt
that tiouble is imminent. The Police
Commissioners have selected judges of
elections exclusively of their own party,
and men who have neither properly nor
character to lose. The judges have staled
f heir determination not to permit anv of
the newly-registered voters to vote at the
coming election,knowing, as they do, that
out o( the 24,GU0 registered this year at
leas. 23,000 are Conservatives. At the
last (Mayoralit)) election, notwithstanding
the fraud perpetrated by them, the Radicals
polled hut 5,500 votes. The Conservatives
in consequence ot the clear violation of the
law by the Radicals, and of the villainous
performances of the Police Commissioners,
framed a memorial, to which the signatures
of nearly ten thousand of our most respect
able citizens were attached. This memori
al was suppoited by more than one hun
dred aflfi lavits, ami was an appeal to the
Governor for the reinova' of the commis
sioners. The Governor has summoned tlie
commissioners to appear to answer the
charges at AnapolU on Monday. There
can b • little doubt that the swindling com
missioners will be ousted; for the proof of
fraud is overwhelming. This is the opin
ion of everybody h re, and the disloval
Radicals are preparing to maintain the
commissioners, and they mean to resort to
violent measures to overpower the anthoii
ty of the Governor. At their special re
quest last week the Forney came on from
Philadelphia. He was in consultation with
Radical ringleaders for several hours, and
subsequently wrote to his Press the letter
which has been opened in THE WORLD.—
Forney, when here, completed the prepa
rations for sending in a delegation of Phil
adelphia roughs and thieves, who are to
assist the Radical rowdy organization,
known as " The Boys in Blue," These
'• Boys in Blue'" are ad organized into com
panies, and meet regulaily for drill. They
are all armed, and well armed. There are
several companies of black " Boys in Blue"
negroes of the lowest sort. On the oth
er hand, the conservatives have few or no
arras; and they have no military protec
tion—the militia having never been reorgan
ized since 1861. Nevertheless, if the
worst comes, our Conservatives will fight
to the last for their rights, for the Consti
tion and the union. And if the Radicals
do.precipitate a.conflict, it w ill be one be
fore which the horrors of the r:ut of April
19, ISGI, will fade into insignificance. We
are not intimidated by Radical boasting,
nor by the threats of "extermination of
Conservatives and Johnson men" in which
the black and white " boys in blue" indulge.
The Arrangements To-day--Eminent Coun-
sel Engaged &c &c
[From the Baltimore Sun, October 20 ]
The Baltimore Police Commissioners
having had charges preferred against them
of"official misconduct" in connection with
the mimic pal election, which charges were
laid before the Governor on Thursday last,
as idso the memoiial of several thousand
citizens of Baltimore asking fot the removal
of said commissioners, the Govei*nor on the
same day notified the police commissioners
of the fact, and cited them to appear before
him on Monday next, as has already been
noticed. This action of the Governor is
probably based upon the provisions of the
law contained in the Code of PuMic Gen
eral Law, article 42, sections 13 and 14,
which aie as follows :
SEC. 13. Upon complaint made against
any civil or military officer who can he re
moved or suspended by the Governor, the
Governor may summon before liim any
witness to testifv for or against such com
plaint, and may allow such witnesses one
dollar a day for their attendance, and itin
erant charges, and may enforce the attend
ance of such witnesses in the same manner
as the court may.
SEC. 14, UPON complaint being made
under the preceding section, the party com
plained against, shall have a copy of the
complaint, and notice of the tune when the
Goveruor will inquire into and examine the
same.
The required notice was formally served j
upon the commissioners of police by the
pi ivate Secretary of the Governor, as be
fore stated
It is understood that the police commis
sioners will respond to the citation, it being
a regular legal process, and will he repre
sented by counsel consisting, probablv, of
the law officers of the city, M< srs. Price,
and Leary. aided, perhaps, by special coun
sel.
The committee of conservative citizens
appointed by the city conservative conven
tion to prefer charges and prosecute the
case have engaged, on their behalf, the fol
lowing eminent counsel: Hon Reverdy
Johnson, Wm. Schley. Esq.. .T. H. B. Lai
robe. Esq.. and Hon. John M. Frozier It
may be oxpec'ed, therefore, under the pow
er fiven the Governor, by the aet of 15.55,
amending the police law. "to remove said
commissioners for official misconduct in
the recess of the Legislature." and tinder
the authority given him bv section 42 of the
code, to examine into the charges preferr
ed, and to decide upon the va'iditv of the
same, that a prompt and full examination
will be had of all the faets and issues pre
sented. and their force and bearing freely
discussed hv the h'gat ta'ent employed to
assist the prosecution and the defence of
this important case

Death of HOB. JOBS VOB Bore*
On Saturday Oct 13th, John Van Bu- j
rcn died at sea, on board the Nova Scotia,'
He was from a tour in Scotland, whither j
he had been for the benefit of his health, i
which, for some time past, had been visi
bly declining. During his tour he had
caught a severe cold, which caused inflama
tion of the kidney's, and when he came on I
board the Scotia be was very ill. He at
once retired to his state-room where he
remained until Wednesday morning, when
he came on deck contrary to the advice of
his medical advisers.
On returning to his state-room. Mr. Van
Buren was seized with acute inflamation of
the kidneys, and his sufferings were intense.
During this time he talked incessantly, but
incohcrent : v, chiefly on political affairs. —
On Saturday morning he commenced to
sink visibly, and his daughter and niece,
with Capt. Judkins, of the Scotia, were
summoned to his stateroom. They, with
Drs. Brice and Crane, remained with him
nearly the whole day, and about 1 p. m..
when the vessel was off Cape Race, Mr*
Van Buren died. A coffin was at once
made for the body,and it was placed in the
ship'sboats. When the ship arrived at New
York a large delegation of his friends
were waiting to receive him, but were bor-!
ror struck when lliey ascertained that he j
was dead.
Hon. John Van Buren was the eldest
son of Martin Van Buren, once President
of the United States. lie was born at
Hudson, N. Y., on the 18th of February
1810, He graduated creditably at Yale
Cellegc in 1828, and studied with Hon.
Aaron Vanderpool, at Kindcrhook, the
residence of his father, the ex-President.
He was promptly admitted to the har, and
soon acquired a respectable practice. In
18-31 his father was appointed Minister to
the Court of St. Denis and thither John
Van Buren proceeded as Secretary of Le
gation He held this post f.-r two years,
when Martin Van Buren was recalled from
Paris
After this the subject of our sketch ob
tained*;* large legal patronage, and took
an active part in State politics. He was
especially his peculiar eloquence
and lordly views, and the sobriquet of
"Prince John" was given him in the cam
paign of 1848. In 1845 he was elected
Attorney General of the State of New
York by the Legisla'nre. From the con
clusion of his term of office, up to his de
cease, Mr. Van Buren was a prominent
member of the bar.
In all after political contests he took a
prominent part, and was an especially warm
friend of General McClellan.
Mr. Van Buren had few enemies and
they were persons who did not know him.
As a lawyer, an orator, and a man. he re
flected credit even on the honorable na.ne
of his lamented father.
While three little boys were amu
sing themselves with a toy cannon in New
Orleans, on Monday. October 4th, one of
them pn t a ba'l or some other missile into
the litflc"gun and fired it into the direction
of hi mother, not dreaming of the injury
it might do. The missile entered the moth
er's right side, and. penetrating the heart,
was almost immediately fatal.
