RuTLER Oh IMpRACHMENT.

Cen. Butler is travelling over the country
and making speeches to prove that Congress
can impeach and ought to impeach and re-
move the President. His arguments are
styled !. strong and impressive" by his radi-
cal admirers, and, BY the Chicago Republican,
logical and sound" In support of which
opinion the Republican puts the case thus;
The clearness with which Cen Butler drew the
distinction between the Presidents power to do a
thing, and his exemption from criminal response
hility for the mo9s in which ne exercised that
power, was logicas and sound. The President
| has the power to appoint whom he pleases to
Office; but if he should appoint all the blacklegs
and jail;birds in the country to office systemati-
eally, he would be open to impeachment for the
manner in which he should exercise his power.
The President has the power to pardon all rebels,
just as every governor in State has the power to
! pardon all the conyiets In its prisons. bur any
i governor who should thus pardon them would be
/ open to impeachment for his manifest abuse Of his
power, and Gen. Butler contends that the Presl-
/ dents system of indiscrimnate pardon OF all
rebels is an abuse Of his pardoning power, for
| which he should be impeached.
From this the inference is, that the abuse
of the pardoning power, OF, as General Butler
calls it, ssthe corrupt use of the pardoning
power, consists in the Presidents & pardon
ing rebels" and this the Republican declares
to be sound and logical argument. How
