THE TRIAL oF pr eas gr this
time one of the most important trials
known to the history of this ‘nation is
in progress at Washington’ and-every
stage of its proceedings + will be watched.
with interest, The highest officer,
known to. our Constitution is upon his
trial for “high crimes and misdemeanore” before a court of impeachment,—
‘This trial is important, not because
Johnson is charged with any offence
for which he can be indicted, but because he is charged with refusing to.
execute the laws as he is bound by his
oath to do. In ‘his administration of
the government he has violated the.
‘Constitution,trampled upon the statutes
and for the purpose of carrying out his
policy has usurped the authority belonging, to the Legislative branch of
government and assumed the powers
of the Supreme Court. These. avis are
notorious and yet the Democrats who
pretend to be co: ators of the Constitution indorse them. Of these offenses Johnson is already convicted at
the. bar. of public opinion, and. it only
remains for the Senate, after having
had. the testimony presented according
to the forms of law to pronounce sentence. “At the beginning of the trial
Butler opened the case for the country,
and after showing the power of the
., Court, its duties, and reviewing the articles presented by the House, concluded by saying: “The safeguards of ‘the
Constitution against usurpation are in
your hands ; the interests and hopes of
free institutions wait upon your decision,
The House of Representatives has done
its duty. They have presented the
facts in-a constitutional manner. We}
have brought the criminal to your bar,
and demand judgment at your hands
~ for “his great crimes. Neyéragain, if
Andrew Johnson go quit and free this
day, can the people of any other country, by constitutional checks and guards,
stay usurpation in the Executive power.
I speak, therefore, not in the language
of exaggeration, butin the words of
truth ness, in saying thatthe
future political welfare and liberties of
all hang trembling on the decision
ste Senate.” Those who have careally studied the course of Johnson will
indorse every word of this, If the Executive in order to advance his personal
aims or to accomplish the objects of his
party may trample upon. the laws, establish offices unknown to any statute
and ignore the existence of the Legislative and Judicial branches of govern
ment, as Johnson has done, the liberties
of the people may betaken away and
Republican government. overthrown
by any ambitious demagogue who can
succead in reaching the Presidency.—
It id true that Johnson's term is short,
and it is not possible that he can do
much more harm than is already accomplished, but he should be removed
from office for his crimes, in order that
his conviction may stand as a warning
to unprincipled men in the future,
THERE have been many hard things
-gaid of Andrew Johnson, but the hardest is a bon mot which we find in a
late number of a London paper, It is
related that the New English Ambassador, Mr. Thornton, before his departure
for the United States, having praised
Mr. Johnson’s firmness toa Yankee, who
evidently did not see it, lowered his
_ tone and said, Well, at any rate, you.
must admit that he,is a completely self
to which the Yankee
replied, with great solemnity, “I hope
80, indeed, for it would reljeve the
Almighty of an awful responsibility,”
PRESIDENT Harrison appointed Tom
Ewing to his Cabinet, and died in one
made man;”
month. President Taylor appointed
him to his Cabinet, and. died in six
months. And now Andy wants him !—
But it is pledsant to know that the
Senate will have mercy upon him, and
deny his request. It has no desire to
__kil him off in any such roundabout
Si nigts brae
way.

A BILL has wed the Iowa Senate
which will gladden the hearts. of the
fair sex. It reads “Any.person 21 years

the State and-who satisfies aby Distriet
Court of this State that said person:
possesses the requisite learning and is
of good moral character, shall be ad~.
mitted to practice as an attorney in the
different Courts of the State.” A correspondent says the wisdom of Blackstone and Coke hereafter will be: nowhere, and that beautiful lawyeresses
“with a bewitching smile and La speaking eye” will turn jurymén’s heads
topsy-turvy. The only remedy will be
to give woritien a representation on thé

young musician named Solomon, a
bandsman in‘one of the regiments in

constantly damp,-and smeared with

wearer has to beat it out of his dress,
which is again damped and again pipeclayed; so that the bandsman’s flesh

from damp, while his lungs are. choked
