WHY Is NOT JUDGE GR1ER 1MPEACHED


In answer to this question the Philadelphia Reg
lister Says
Tmpeach Federal Judgcl why, the thing Is
next TO impossible 1t has bocn tried only three
times since the Government went into operation.--
If oil his colleagues refused u sit with him, if every
State Legislature denounced him. if the people OK
pressed then unanimous rcprubaton at the polls,
it would not diminish his rights one lot. Ii he
should be guilty of the most rnsecmly or the most
criminal conduct the President could not remove
him, could the House or the Senate, separately
do any thing aglinst him. The first step, and
huge one it would be, is to- get the House of Repre-
scntatlves to draw up and present to the Senate a
formal impeachment The Senate would then sus-
pend its business and 90 into a solemn trial Wit
ncsses would be cited from distant parts Of the
country; pleadings fled; counsel heard on points,
important; and the affair would drag its slow
length along through the intorminablc technical
wranglngs OF litgatcd case. Judge Pickering
trial lasted about nine days; Judge Chase's about
three months, and Judge Pcck's occupied somc
fourteen days in 1880, and month and half in
! 1881.
In 1909 and 1904, when Pickering and Chase
were tried the national business was not varied
and important; in 1880, it had boco verv scri-
AFFAIR " divert the Senate from its regular bust
ness and at the present time contested impeach-
mcnt case would be little short of rcyolution.--
II is highly improbable, that, from this time forth
forever. any United States Judge will he impeach-
cd. Let man once get hnse fairly seated upon
the Federal Bench and ho is safe. lie may write
TO District Marshals to pack iurics 50 MS to cou-
denim certain political opponents; he may send
word to private citizens that If they shall ever fall
into his hands he will hang them; lie may send
out his minious armc i % The teeth on missions Of
riot and rufianism, and threaten to have iu1ici-
mcnts preferred against every judge, sheriff. mag

cryc order and yiudicate the majesty of the State
law; he may have editors indicted FOR publishing
faithful reports Of the facts; in short he may play
before high heaven what fantastic tricks he plcascs
-and he is safe from impeachment. To punish
this one offender, the whole business the nation
cannot be arrested. Joshua stopped the sun
while the Israclies fought out their battle; but
the day Of such miracles has passed away forever.
