CHARLES DICKENS IN PHILADELPHIA. (From the 31 .9 riggy i Slar.) Ir. Dickens has just hal . ..shed a course of readings in this good city of Penn, beginning with "The Christmas Carol," and ending with " Boots at the Hollow Tree Inn." We were early in our seats on that memorable first night, and waited long with such patience as we could command, and yet he we looked for seemed to come before us suddenly at last, with the still swifness of a meteor. His business-like man ner nipped in the bud the surprised salutation of an audience somewhat slow and cool, for he went at the work in hand with brief pause or preliminary, and put directly at us the fact that " Marley was dead." And he went through with that work with no dallying or coquetting with the subject or " points" at a flying leap ; audience—taking his and when all was done going as he came, rather hurriedly and unceremoniously, our hearty farewell burst of applause scarcely overtaking him, such good time did he make in his retreat. Mr. Dickens's style of reading is new to us. We are glad to find it so refreshingly unprofessional and uuhackneyed—to see in it no attempt at stale elocu tionary effects and stage " business." About him is no odour of the footlights —no musty stage tradi tions smother his genius. His English is simply that of an English gentleman. The descriptive portions of his readings are given precisely, it seems to us, as he would read or talk to a little group of friends in his own pleasant library At home. Yet his voice has leas to do with his personations than we expected. His face, his action, more distinctly mark his characters—in short, we find him more of an actor than a reader. Yet it seemed that the " Chrismas Carol" had never before made music s'a merry, so solemn, or so tender as when it came from his lips, as once it came from his heart. The coming of a great author before the people, to read from his own works, is an event peculiar to the age we live in_it shows , begging the pardon of our distinguished English visitor —the progress of liberal, not to say democratic, ideas. It could during the last c en t ury , scarcely have occurred when literary genius was both more subservient and more arrogant than now ; when it was hedged in, like royalty, by a wful reverence and w on d er . Think of Richardson reading his " Clarissa Har lowe" to a tearful audience of our great, great grandmamas, or of Johnson rolling on to the platform to read his " Rasselas," or even of Scott reciting " Marmion." Olympus is being grafted dowir-iirtmr.eploorrilrergetting""iiie—wp on to Olympus. The last proposition has certainly seemed the true one during these more than " Ara bian Nights' Entertainments," when, with hearts thrilled with pleasure that was almost pain, or touched with pain that was sweeter than pleasure, we have looked and listened, and laughed, and wept, and grown young again under the spell of a great master. And say what you will over there of " American furors," the return to us of this great novelist, who has satirised and delighted us, whom we have with stood on the copyright—bad luck to us—whom we have reproached and loved, read and robbed for more than a quarter of a century, is a profoundly interesting event, coming as does, not as the terrible note-taking " chiel," but as the interpreter of his own marvellous conceptions—the personator of his own quaint, or tender, or terrible creations. The fact that it is Dickens who reads, his eye through which sparkles the drollery, his voico through which trembles the pathos, is doubtless that which sets this apart from all other entertainments of the kind. This, it is claimed by some, is the chief power that attracts, the peculiar charm that en thrals us ; and "if so, why not ?" It is enough. It is possible that there were better actors in the old Globe Theatre than Will Shakspere ; but could they all live again for us, some bright, wondrous mid-winter night, who but Will Shakspere should interpret for us Lear, Othello, Hamlet, or Falstaff ? Ab, if he stood thus before us, we should find small fault with his "rising inflections," should be trou bled by no uncomfortable fancy that rare Ben Jon son could do the thing better, or doubts if it would pay at two dollars a ticket ? Our severe eyes would scarcely be offended by a rosebud in his button-hole, or a diamond on his finger. We would hardly turn to remark to our neighbour that he was not as young as when he was engaged in that discreditable little affair at Charlecote. No ! he might rise in his inflections to any vocal altitude—he might bud out at every button-hole, and wear the Kohinoor on his index finger; he might be balder than the Stratford bust—but he would be our glo rious Will Shakspere, and we would bless every furrow and shadow on the dear face, every trace of that thought and toil that had lightened the care and labour of the world.

President- - --His Grace the Duke of BUCCLEIICII, This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a largo number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destifute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them. Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs. Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs. Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Glyn and Co, ; 'ferries and Co.; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and Co.; Smith, Payne, and Co.; Barclay and Co. ; Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Nisbet and Co., Beruors-groot ; and at the Hospital, from 10 till 5. It is well for Mr. Dickens that he did not " locate" Dotheboy's nail, with its unspeakable brutalities and cruelties, in Massachusetts. -Not Ticknor and Fields could have saved him from the wrath of an outraged commonwealth, and the doors of Tremont Temple would have been closed against him for ever. Yet great England has forgiven the faithful painter, and set herself to correct the abuses which made his picture so hideously life-like. He may even visit York shire without danger of discourteous treatment. Thick-skinned Christians those Yorkshire men ! The readings of Mr. Dickens wins upon us night by night, because, doubtless, it is so peculiarly his own—bears no marks of the tutoring and training of professors of elocution. He has evidently kept no vocal " chicken." His voice has not the mea sured mournfulness of Booth's, nor the melodious rumble of Forrest's, nor the steady bugle-like clear ness of Fanny Kemble's ; but it is an organ through which breathes every . human passion, from the I savage greed of a Squeers to the joyous heartiness of a John Browdie—from the icy pride of a Dombey to the tender lovingness of little Florence. There are in that voice, searching, surprising tones that no stage tutoring ever gives—tones that transcend art. How heart-breaking is the cry of a Florence Dombey over her dead mother ; and how terrible the desolate wail of poor Smike ! That is not alone the wild plaint of misery and penury, cold and hunger ; it, is the cry of a lost life, of a famished heart, of a forsaken soul. In the " Dombey " reading, what variety, what masterly management of character ! Dom bey the Pompous, Pipchin the grim, Blimber the portly, Toots the delicious, darling Floy, and dear " old-fashioned" little Paul. If the simple story of the pretty " blighted child " has melted our hearts countless times, with its sur passing pathos and tenderness, what is it to have the author himself show us the little lad, just as he arose from his own heart, sweet, quaint, patient, and thoughtful. He seems to bring him in his arms to us, loving and reverently, as Bob Cratchet carried Tiny Tim. He deals with him very tenderly, as seeing about his head a light of divine purity, solemn and ineffable. We have heard that when " Little Dombey" is read in Eng land, the ball is sombre with the mourning dress of bereaved mothers, who seem to find a melancholy sort of comfort in listening to this story, so " won drous pitiful," and who, amid their tears, bless the gracious heart that could so feel and reveal what love, what hope, what dear joy could be buried in a little grave, with a " little, little child." After the pathos of this story, the trial from Pick wick is needed to lighten the heart. It is deli ciously absurd, though some of the best points in the original are omitted in the reading. We miss, especially, Sam Weller's last Parthian arrow— " Would any other genTinan like to ask me anythiu' ?" Mr. Justice Stareleigh and Old Weller are here the great successes in this reading. Sam Weller—well, perhaps, people are a little unreasonable as regards Samuel, who is an immense favourite in America, having a sort of Yankee drollery and " cuteness," and—yes, impudence—about him, very plea sant and endearing. He is native to us—so each devout lover of " Pickwick" brings to the ball his own private Sam, invisible, but individual and _quite satisfactory, and pits r*Craritgaitpot-the 4i+Sittn i .L , othieh.a.f ter the oliL Sam, the true Sam, the original article, none genuine, unless bearing this signature—C.D., with the flourish. The truth is, we have never seen Sim Weller, and we probably never shall see him, not because " there ain't no such a p erson ;" he still lives, of course he does, but in our fallen condition we are unworthy to behold him. Should he come among us bodily, jostle us in the streets, write his name on our hotel books, and spell it with a " We," yet should we not recognise him. But if the true magician fails to show him to us in the magic mirror of his gen i us, we w ill h ave no other conr ing, but resign all hope of seeing our d old friend till w e meet him " some summer morning," o e r a n r in if we are good Pickwickians, at that hospitable house at Dulwich, where he will open the door to us, and show us in to " the governor," and help to make us delightfully at home. Then we shall see him as he is. Dr. Marigold, the garrulous Cheap Jack, is surely one of the most quaint and enjoyable of the most eccentric characters of Dickens. We laugh, at first, at his droll assumptions, and whim sical comparisons ; but he wins constantly on our respect and sympathy until he becomes a very dear Jack indeed. It is a character rich in manly tenderness, in simple, patient, unselfish good ness—shaded, but scarcely marred, by touches of vanity and boastfulness —an esprit de ?metier too honest to be quite absurd. He stands out on his " foot-board" distinct from all other creations of the great master of English fiction, yet as a sort of kinship with each of those admirable and lovable characters taken from lowly life, whose homely, unconscious virtues renew our faith in,'our reverence for, poor unregenerate, unen lightened, sorely-tempted, socially-ignored, asthe tically contemned, religiously condemned human nature. " Oh, it is because it is Dickens ! Yes, thank genial teacher, our strong Heaven, it is he ! — our helper, our consoler under a thousand sorrows and cares, oure merry ancient, our wise, cheery, safe friend, who has made everyday life brighter, and nobler, and easier for us all ; whose beneficent genius has transfigured it s h ome l y du ties, turned its water into wine. He is this, and he is still more. Who, after listening to the reading of "Nicholas Nickleby" and "Dombey," can deny that Mr. Dickens has dramatic genius of the rarest order ; that he has given to human nature the most careful, minute, and reverent study, and that his personations are true as life itself ; that in short he is a great artist ? Occasionally, in the midst of our sadness or our mirth, there surges in upon us the full realisation of who this man is, and of the great debt we owe him--the long, long score—a debt we can neither liquidate by our tears nor repudiate by our laughter. But soon We become only vaguely conscious of his presence, while beholding vividly his exquisite creations — we seem to see them thrcugh him, as be had grow n di ap h onous, li ke the ghost of Marley. Iu "Nicholas Nickleby" see ms t o us b es t dis played Mr. Dickens's versatility as au actor. He carries the whole dramatis persona; in his face. Th e y who watch that carefully, mark every delicate shade of expression, every light ning-like transition, are satisfied ; they who look for some miraculous transformation of the entire man, who would ask to see Pickwick in gaiters, Sam Weller in his his spectacles and striped waistcoast, Old Marley in his tights and pigtail, as he walked the earth, are slightly disap pointed in Mr. Dickens. In this reading his eyes— wonderful eyes they are—now glare ; that is, one of them glares, with the cruel greed of Squeers ; now In the conception and charming personation of Dr. Marigold, Mr. Dickens exhibits that profound sympathy with the joys and sorrows of humble life which make him so peculiarly the novelist of the people—their helper, their interpreter, their prophet of better days to come for the saddest and lowliest of them. Perhaps the most absurd charge ever brought against Mr. Dickens in this country is that of being in reality quite shockingly deficient in sympathy for the common people, while cherishing sentiments of peculiar tenderness and ecstatic ad miration for rank and fashion—that, in short, " he loves a lord." Well, the same charge was brought against Robert Burns, the people's poet for all time, made in spite of the grand democracy of his " A man's a man for a' that." • And Thackeray—great, sad, earnest, manly heart !—Thackeray, who, all his life, lashed snob bery with a whip of scorpions, was himself called a " snob." But who now dare repeat a charge so in sanely false, so ineffably silly ? Thank heaven human spite and detraction are the rank weeds of a day ; while human love and gratitude are the ivy and the amaranth that make beautiful the grave, and crown the memory of genius. The truth is, that the great, catholic nature of the man Charles Dickens includes within the wide circle of its kindly human sympathies a mixed and motley multitude—perambulating Pickwickians, small paupers, neglected schoolboys, mariners, fishermen, factory hands, carriers, Fleet prisoners, street-sweepers, dustmen, convicts, detectives, strol ling players, Cheap Jacks, and deserving noblemen. That circle takes in St. Giles, all of Bohemia, and a part of Belgravia. He has not done much for the class artistically ; Sir Mulberry Hawk and Lord Verisoplit are not happy strokes of sycophancy ; yet socially he evidently does not hold that the taint of hereditary nobility excludes an honest fellow from the brotherhood of man. But the voluble, soft-hearted Cheap Jack, his termagant wife, his frightened, dark-haired little Sophy, and her poor dumb double—the elongated Pickleson—the hoarse Minn, the kind doctor, the mute lovers—sighing and signing—and their child, talking miraculously, all fade from our sight; and, presto ! we arc in Bob Sawyer's lodgings, and here 4d. STAMCED sd. is dear old Pickwick—that modern Don Quixote, sane and rotund, with a squire surpassing Sancho in wit and tact, " wise saws and modern instances;" and here are the susceptible 'r upman and the irre • pressible Winkle, and the poetic Snodgrass ; here, of course, is Bob Sawyer, with 8.. m Allen and Jack Hopkins, and we hear their thrilling stories of sur gery, and we see the fierce encounter between Noddy and Gunter, and we feel the chagrin of host and guests when the remorseless Mrs. Paddles re fuses warm water, though we know they will get very satisfactorily drunk on cold punch, and we shrink from their dismay when that night-capped Nemesis appears to drive them forth in a highly precipitous and opprobrious manner. And now the magic picture fades from before our eyes, wet with tears of delicious laughter--the great magician closes his magic book, inclines his head, and vanish es. Mr. Dickens's reading version of " David Cop perfield," a marvellous piece of condensation and reconstruction, contains much of the richest hu mour and deepest pathos of that most delightful of all his novels—the one, perhaps, in which there is most of the man, his tenderest sympathies, his most golden memories. On the voice of the reader, we are borne back to the time when we first read that story, so touching, yet so inspiring, gracious in its humanity, so pure in its Christianity. How young we grow as A e listen !—how we shake off the dust of the world, and become fresh-hearted, like Daisy. What poor things conventional fine man ners and mere brain culture seem to us before the rugged manhood, the grand simplicity of poor Peggotty and Liam. How the little child-wife's story, swinging like a light gossamer web from sha dow to sunshine, glistens for us with the morning dew of new fancy and tenderness. In the personation of Mr. leggotty and in the description of the shipwreck, Mr. Dickens, we think, displays his greatest dramatic power. His rendering of the agony of the poor fisherman, on hearing of the elopement of his . " little Ernly," is noble, tragic acting. And then the shipwreck ! How that marvellous word-painting, so like one of the awful shipwrecks of Turner, puts on new vivid ness and fearfulness with his action, his tones, the changing expression of his face, eager, passionate, awe-struck. Then the homely grandeur of poor Ham's life, crowned by his divine act of self-sacri fice, appeals to our hearts as never before. What a death was that ! how piteous, how sublime ! After the tempest of winds and waves and human passions, after that double wreck, how sweet the fantastic love story of Barry the Brave and Norah the Fair. How refreshing the charming drollery of Boots! Surely " Boots at the holly Tree Inn " is the most dainty and delicious of all the shortest stories of Mr. Dickens ; a fairy idyl, a burl of a romance, a tender burlesque of love, a frolic of authorship. It is full of quaint anomalies, of surprises, of fun and pathos. In the author's reading the wee runaway couple come be fore us almost bodily, the gallant little cherub, the pouting little angel in her "sky-blue mantle," and talk to us, through faithful " Boots;" and we are more delighted with them than an audience of children could be by the illustrious General, Mrs. Tom Thumb, and the baby. Boots seems to be a sort of cousin german to'Sam Weller, with more poetry and tenderness, and, perhaps, a rarer vein of humour. There are people in this personation which even our Jefferson could hardly equal. For instance, the " Certainly, sir," in reply to Master Harrow's declaration, " It is better than millions of diamonds to be liked by Norah," and that ini mitable " Such, sir, is the depravity of human nature." As Mr. Dickens has decided not to visit our Western cities, he will scarcely be able to realise the most wondrous transatlantic work of the last twenty-five years; nor will he, perhaps, note any retuarkapie - ,seial &anus 4asteria cities, As he accepts no hospitalities and has very few visitors. Everybody understands, however, that this care ful reserve is a necessity of his hurried, labori ous life, and he must be conscious of a genuine kindly interest in him, an atmosphere of welcome, which a little lingering illwill here and there can not poison. Some there are from whose palates the sweets of a dozen romances have not taken the wholesome bitter of the " Notes," and more who hold " Martin Chuzzlewit" in grim, uncomfortable remembrance. A few foreign-born " Native Ame ricans" have denounced him for lack of sympathy with us as a nation. " Pogram Redivivus" has orated through some obscure journals, and " Jeffer son Brick" has been " on the rampage" now and then ; but it amounts to nothing, this slight coun ter current in the tide of a generous popular enthu siasm. Some attacks (for criticisms they cannot be called) have been made on the artist and the man ; attacks utterly vulgar and sordid in their charac ter. A coarse tirade by a nameless journalist against an author on whose fame, as on the domi nion of his Sovereign, the sun never sets—whose power over human hearts and imaginations is abso lutely Shaksperian—would be shocking, if it were not pitiably foolish and futile. It reminds one of the mad charge sometimes made by an irate young buffalo of the plains on a locomotive under full headway. There is a great tossing up of earth, a frantic plunge, a brief bellow, and--something goes on, and it is not the buffalo.

IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT. The progress of the STANTON case has been at tended with unexpectedly momentous results. Shortly after the correspondence closed between General GRANT and Mr. JOHNSON which we give iu full, the PRERIDENT issued an order removing Mr. STANTON from the Secretaryship of War. Mr. STANTON appealed to the Senate, and that body passed a resolution declaring the removal illegal, and referred the matter to the Reconstruction Com mittee. A. resolution for the impeachment of the PRESIDENT was introduced into the House of Re presentatives, which was also referred to the Coma mittee on Reconstruction. That Committee last Saturday reported in favour of the Impeachment, and the House agreed to vote upon it on the fol lowing Monday, when the resolution was carried by a strict party vote, a committee of two being ap pointed formally to impeach ANDREW JOHN SON at the bar of the Senate, and a committee of seven to prepare the articles of impeachment. On the following day Mr. TIIADDEUS STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. JOHN A. BINGIIAM,* of Ohio, the members appointed by the House for the purpose, formally impeached President JOHNSON at the bar of the Senate, and a Select Committee was nominated by the Chamber to consider the subject. Mr. JOHNSON, little daunted, asked the Court for a writ to oust Mr. STANTON. THOMAS EWING was selected by him to succeed to the post (which the incumbent refused to surrender), and the nomina tion was sent to the Senate accompanied by a mes sage, in which ANDREW JOHNSON maintains that the removal of Mr. STANTON was no violation of the Tenure-of-Office Act, and ex presses the wish that the constitutionality of that Act should be tested before the Supreme Court. This apparently involves a contradiction, which is probably due to the Cable, or rather to the compiler, and not to Mr. JOHNSON ; for, if the re moval was no violation, it is clear that the Act can not be tested by that which did not infringe it. The Republican party, as a whole, has earnestly en deavoured to avoid the extreme measure to which events have carried it. It hoped to frighten ANDREW JOHNSON by a constant threat of impeach ment, which at first sounded something dreadful—r sort of preliminary to the block.

The South iti overflowing with Reconstruction, ANDREW JOHN SON is stuffed with impeachment, but both have come to a crisis. ANDREW JOHNSON must now appear at the bar of the Senate, and we sup pose the Reconstruction Bill No. 4 will soon be the law of the land. ,It is not easy to over rate the importance of these events. Trivial as may appear the cans.: of the quarrel, it really springs from a source deeply affecting the wel fare of the nation, and is likely to have a perma nent influence on the Government of the Union. There are few Americans who care two straws about ANDREW JOHNSON or EDWIN STANTON. Both are personally unpopular. Equalling each other in obstinacy and ability ; equally impressed with the truth of their convictions ; equally diet ttorial and despotic, there never were two men lesa inclined than these Republican Chiefs to shape their course at the dictation of the majority. ANDREW JOIIN SON plants his foot on the Constitution—STANTON stands on his party principles, and nothing can move either. But sorry as the quarrel may be, miserable as is the spectacle of a President endea. vouriug forcibly to eject a Member of the Cabinet from the office of which he is the incumbent, while the Secretary as forcibly resists, yet, it derives an importance from the Constitutional principles in volved. The real question touches the relative powers of the President and of the Congress ; the struggle is for supremacy. henceforth the posi tions of the Legislature and the Executive will be changed,lfor that change must come, sooner or later, from the events now progressing. The struggle may be a protracted one, or it may be quick and decisive ; but future Presidents will either ru'e with a more defined power, or they will be bat the head clerks of Congressional committees. This question must ultimately be settled by the people. Congress may demolish the President in the person ' of ANDREW JOHNSON ; it may shut him up in the Dry Tortugas, and give him an illuminated copy of the Constitution over which to ponder, or leave him to veto bills and concoct Messages in the White House, but ultimately the people must de3ide whether their Representatives assembled in CoP • gres, or their elected one presiding at the White House, is to be supreme in the United States. It must now be clear to all that they cannot work with equal powers ; the one or the other must be master, and have the means of enforcing decrees. No written document has ever yet restrained either a legislative body or a succession of individuals. A number of Presidents may follow each other and strictly observe the written code. Decades may come and go, and the question may not arise to in duce the Legislature to pass beyond its limits. But the time surely arrives when the intractable Presi dent and the usurping House, or, the intractable Legislature and usurping Executive will clash. Two means only are then open for a settlement — the one an appeal to arms; the other an appeal to the people. If there be a powerful army implicitly obeying the PRESIDENTaS Commander-in-Chief, and he has the courage to use it, he will remain master of the position. Bat this leads directly to a despotism. If he cannot make this appeal, and no other be open, the L?gislature will strip him of power by enactment till he becomes a mere puppet. Against this the Constitution endeavoured to guard by providing a tribunal of the most eminent lawyers, whose decision on the constitutionality of legislative enactments should be final. The value of this Court has been tested and found wanting, as the simple expedient is open to a powerful Congres sional majority of passing a law abolishing the jurisdiction of the Court. If a Legislature can overthrow such obstacles by enacting that these obstacles shall cease to exist, no such restraints can stand between it and absolute control. It is im possible to predict how the Republic will escape from these difficulties. If ANDREW JOHNSON is powerless to carry into effect his threat of resisting by force, there is an end of the Presidential power so long as his term lasts. By degrees parties in Congress may be more nearly balanced, when the PRESIDENT'S veto will be effectual against obnoxious measures. But the struggle cannot fail to leave its effects be hind. For years such a contest was carried on in England,and eventually the powers of the Sovereign passed into the hands of Parliament. For a dead lock, however, such as that at which the Govern nient-aVAizastringbdirsairarrived, there was •the effectual remedy of a dissolution of Parliament, and an appeal to the people. This is tho true constitu tional expedient ; and however perfect may be the Constitution of the United States, until a provision for an immediate appeal can be introduced, it can never be secure against a repetition of the present block in public affairs, unless Congress maintains the power it has assumed of making its laws override even the Constitution of the country. Many suppose that should the Radicals be de- feated in future elections, and the present Opposi tion become the ruling party, that the then Congress would undo the work of the present Congress, stripping itself of power and reasserting the ancient Constitution. History, however, does not support this supposition. Democratic members may now denounce in impassioned language the usurpation of Congress—that is, the rule of their enemies ; but when the power becomes theirs, are they likely to strip themselves of it even in obedience to a Con stitutional principle ? No. They will strengthen themselves with every fragment of authority, and it will be the turn of the Republican mem bers to denounce and bewail the tendency of legislative bodies to appropriate to themselves the Constitutional privileges of others. People may rest assured that Congress will keep all it can get, no matter whether the majority be Republican or Democratic. Therefore the fight is between the Legislature and the Executive—not between parties. It is essentially a contest arising out of the Civil War, and affecting the future Go vernment of the *United States. Looking dispassionately at the positigp, setting aside all Mr. JOHNSON'S faults, and weighing as accurately as we can the merits of the squabble— for the mere circumstances deserve no better name —we believe that legally the PRESIDENT has the balance of right. Mr. JOHNSON is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanours. The Constitution intended that this power should be exercised by . Congress to arrest the career of a cor rupt or insane man, or one whose ambi tion led to the belief that he aimed at the purple. Now what is the crime for which ANDREW JOHNSON is impeached ? For obstructing an Act which he, and it is believed the Supreme Court, state to be unconstitutional. There are two enactments, for opposition to which ANDREW JOHN SON will probably be accused. The one is Recon struction, the other the Tenure- of-Office Act ; and on the latter it is probable the charges will be ma inly based, as he is held to have directly in fringed it by his order removing Mr. STANTON and nominating Mr. THOMAS EWING as Secretary of War. As regards his opposition to Reconstruction, it is clear from the action of the Reconstruction Committee that no charge could be sustained, for out of nine members, seven of whom were Republi cans, Mr. STEVENS, with all his influence and all his impetuosity, could only carry two with him in voting for impeachment. From this it may be con cluded that the charge will altogether hinge on the PRESIDENT'S recent removal of Mr. STANTON. Now Mr. JOHNSON maintains that that removal was no violation of the Tenure-of-Office Act, while he allirins that the Act itself is unconstitutional. Two preliminary questions must then be decided even before the PRESIDENT'S conduct can be considered. Supposing both to be given against Mr. JOHNSON, what degree of criminality is there when a man responsible both to Congress and the people for the execution of the laws--re: - .omannd 3 the removal of a subordinate in whom he has no confidence? As an incumbent holds oflica till the Senate confirm his successor, what is called a dismissal is little more than this. It will be found, when the question argued without prejudice, that Congress has no case and to maintain the position they will have to re vert to the arbitrary decree, that it is the will of the Representatives that an obnoxious PRESIDENT shall cease to occupy the White House. At the same time there can be no doubt that Mr. JOHNSON, while acting within the law, has done all he can to thwart the legitimate efforts of Congress in recoil . strutting the Union.--iltiglo-Anterican Times. - '~,~ Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., 0 R A.
