_ 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 .

looking at the map of California may
see. 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

Tur STATE ConvVENTION.—The Unin Sacramento.on.the 31st.of March.—
The State Central Committee passed a
resolution declaring that the Primaries
must be held in accordance with the
Primary Election Law, and establishing
the test, allowing all legal voters to participate in. the Primaries who. wilj
pledge themselves to support the nominees of the National Republican Convention; tobe held at Chicago on the
20th of May next. 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. Let the counties send
representative men to Sacramento and
the work will be accomplished,
