_ FRIDAY, FEB, 28th, 1868. a Tm Posrrton ‘OF JOHNSON.—President Johnson occupies an unfortunate position. He has not only violated the _. tempted to set at defiance a law which he approved. The Army Appropria— _. tion bill passed at the last séssion of ». Congress, provided “That the Head_ quarters of the General of the Army of the United States shall be at the city _ of Washington, and all orders and in“Btractions. relating to military operations issued by the President or Secretary of War shall be iesued through the General of the Army, and in case of his inability, through the next in rank. The General of the Army shall not be removed, suspended or relieved from command, or assigned to duty elsewhere than at said Headquarters, except at _. his own ‘request, without the previous approval of the Senate ; and any orders '__ or instructions relating to military operations issued contrary to the requirevoid; and any officer who shall issue . orders and instructions contrary to the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor in office; and any officer of the. army who shall . transmit, convey or obey any orders or ~ provisions of this section, knowing that Such orders were so issued, shall be liable to imprisonment for not less than _ twonor more than twenty years, upon conviction thereof in any Court of com petent jurisdiction.” Johnson approved this law, simply making a protest against this clause which amounts to. nothing. This law is binding npon every officer of the ar-my. The President knew this, and he tried to create a Brevet General, but could not induce either Sherman or : Thomas to accept. After failing in his efforts to get a General to serve his pur~~~ pose; he sent for Emory and endeavored to induce him to obey his orders, but he f again failed as he did afterwards in his Wallace. These acts of Johnson indi. @ate that he really intended to use force against Congress, and to make good his threat made in the last message. He only wanted the co-operation.of the army to drive out Congress, get possession of the War Department, and then proclaim himself Dictator.— offence worthy of impeachment,it would be difficult to tell what would. It is now apparent that :Johnson’s struggle for control of the War Department was not intended simply to find a place for one of his friends, but it-was a desperate effort to get control of the Department in order to_ use it against the loyal people. With Con_ . gress determined to execute the laws, _ and the army on the side of the people the triumph of loyalty is near at hand. Johnson is already condemned by the people, and it only remains for Congress . 49 pronounce judgment. _ >. POVERTY AND Want.—AlL over Great -.

Nor is theré much reason for declaring Sacramento the political cen— tre as you have done. By common consent the political heads of beth parties, the State Central Committees: have their head-quarters in San Francisco. Before the Legislature assembles the members from all parté of’ the State, the northern not excepted, congregate at San Francisco to concoct measures, or learn the ropes. Yau must have noticed that when delegates go from the northern part of the State, nine out of every ten go on to San Francisco before or after the Convention is over, 80 that practically the holding of a convention at the Capital is of little benefit to us,while‘tt is an Inconvenience to the ‘southern part of. the State, and to the members of the northern coast counties “who come down by _ sea.

This is a pledge which every loyal man can take, and in the coming contest, whatever may have been the past differences, the Union meh of California ean meet and agree uipon the issues involved in the presént crisis. The time for united and unanimous action has come, and Union men know it. The news that Sumter was fired. upon was ‘not more effective :in uniting loyal men than the events ‘which have transpired at the National Capital within the past few days. The people dre aroused and loyalty will triumph. California loyalists must unite in the great work and they now have the opportunity.
