IMPEACHMENT.
Wendell Phillips Demanding the Inn
peachment of the President.


peachment of the President.
From TIE Ant-Slavery Standard.
The House of Representatives is urged to i'm
peach President johnson. We add our voice to
the demand. There are abundant reasons tor
the measure, and the need oil it is self-evldent.
If the present emergency does not demand re.
currence of this constitutional method of
protection, it is impossible to conceive one
which would
But we hold impeachment of little or no
value indeed useless, unless the House, when
it laws It's articles of Impeachment before the
Senate, demands that Mr.. johnson be suspended
from the exercise of his functions, aud that
--- act as President until MIR. johnson
is acquitted, Or in any other result of the uial,
until the next Presidential term commences,
Without this the constitutional provision for
impeachment OF the Executive is sham. AS 1t
is, the remedy is wholly unattainable IN ordi-
nary circumstances. But If the impeached
President, unlike other accused and impeached
officers. is to be allowed TO carry on his illegal
schemes while on trial, and until the Senate
pronounces him guilty, the whole provision Is
worse than useless. The true rule undoubtedly
is that when -, of the House of Repre-.
sentativee, pronounces the President guilty OF
grave misdeeds and offers to the Senate evidence
OF lis accusation, the incumbent ceases to have
right to exercise his Office until acquitted
This is the only construction that leaves any
value in the constitutional clause; and when we
remember how powerful the Executive must
always be to prevent any action against himself
by the House, we see there can be no danger In
recognizing it as the constitutional rule, al
though no express provision for 1t is made in
that instrument
Further STILL we urge on the Thlrty-ninth
Congress that before it adjourns, tprovide by law
| tor the assembling OF the Fortieth Congress on
| the 9th day of March, 1867. AS the Constitution
now stands, the Fortieth Congress will not
| assemble till December, 1867, thus leaving the
| whole term from March TO December OF that
| year for the President TO plot treason uncon-
| trolled by Congress. This should never be
| allowed. The Constitution gives Congress the
| power to remedy it. Let there be no neglect TO
| exercise this power and save the nation from
| this peril. WENDELL PHILLIPS.

from the Mexican Government grant OF thirty
five million acres OF land in Lower California
said to contain great mineral wealth, and con-
yeyed the same to a company of capitalists, who
have incorporated under the laws of the State of
New York, with the object of settling the terri
tory with miners and agriculturists.
Jewish Agriculturists in Russia.-Formerly
Jews were altogether excluded from the inte-
rior of Russia. The Emperor has greatly modi-
fed tue RESTRICTIONS In order to facilitate Jewish
immigration. The consequence is a consider
able influx of Jews into the Government of
Kieff most of whom devote themselves TO agri-
culture. The Gazette of the PrOvinces states
that 1855 Jewish farmers have settled on the
Crown domains consisting of 2729 males and

field, Ohio.

CINCINNATI, September 26.-Senator John
Sherman, who has just arrived home from
trip to the tar West made a speech at Mans
field day before yesterday, in which he took
radical ground far in advance of his past record.
He intimated that If the South refused to adopt
the pending constitutional amendment they
would soon find themselves confronted with the
necessity of accepting not only the amendment,
but universal suffrage along with it. He gave
the substance of a conversation he had with the
President about the time OF the last Connecticut
election. The President at that time assured
him that he would assent to any programme of
reconstruction that did not include negro
suffrage.

THE MEXICAN QUESTION
Conflicting RumOrs- Macmillan Pr,

poses to Try One More Military Effort.
Rumors as to Mexico continue very conflict
ing. According TO one account Macmillan
would at least make determined military effort
prior TO abdication, if that step really had to be
taken. A Mexican army, $4,000 strong to be
mainly otfcered by Frenchmen is one of the
things spoken of.
The Convention between France and Mexico
signed az Mexico on the 30th of July, transfers
to the French Government half the receipts OF
all the maritime customs in the Empire, in order
to secure the payment of the principal and in-
terest OF the loans contracted in 1864 and 1865
and all obligations resulting therefrom, and
likewise for lpe payment of the interest at three
per cent. on all sums due by Mexico to the
French Treasury. The amount of the latter debt,
which is approximately valued at $4,000 900 OF
francs, will be subsequently, definitely fixed.

DANGER TO THE PARTY.-Tne Nation

lowing remarks upon The Philadelphia Con.
| vention, which we commend to the a,ien-
tion of those who are fearful that the Dem.
oeratic party will be swallowed up by the

"The tenderness with which some OF our
radical friends express their fears that the

the Philadelphia Convention will be swal-
lowed up by the copperheads and Southern
rebels, is at times quite overcoming 20 us.

turn to the Democratic papers, aud we fud
consolation in the fact that some Of them
express the same fesr about their brethren
namely that they will be swallowed up BY
the National Union party, members of
which initiated and called the Philadelphia
Convention. With fear and trembling, we
have looked about to ascertain who will be
the whale aud who will be Jonah. We
don't think cathartic would damage
either tue Union or Democratic party just
at this time. It matters. very little which
party at Philadelphia isx the whale or
which is Jonah. After the secession Of
Jonah. we have no jourpaiistic accounts Of
