THE HOWARD AMENDMENT.

The World" one Of the ablest political
papers IN the United States, says:
Ii the ten excluded states stand united,
the amendment cannot be forced upon them
until the number of states is increased 10
forty. True, q few years may suffice to
make this addition; but Kentucky and
MARYLAND will equally decline to ratif =, as
the prescription of.Congress would also
reduce their weight in that body. Instead
Of ten non ratiiying states. there will. there
fore, be twelve, which would require tie
whole number of states TO be increased to
forty eight before the amendment could be
carried, which will not be in this genera.
ton. Nor is il supposable that great part
OF the white population Of Missouri will be
permanently excluded, as at present, from
their political rights. As Missouri is not
a negro suffrage state, the party IN power
NAV not choose to hasten its downfall by
rztifying the amendment. In that case,
there would be thirteen non-ratiiying
States, aud thirteen can postpone the adop-
ton Of the amendment until the number Of
States is increased to fifty two. which IS a
greater number Of states than We are ever
likely to have; the territories being only
nine. and the present thirsty six states be
ing sixteen less than fifty.two. Even when
the whole niue territories shall have become
states. eleven non-ratifying. states will
suffice TO defea, the amendment. 80 lar
is il from being true that the amendment
must prevail at last, il The South shall
steadily resist it,"

OF PRES IDENT JOHNSON

OF PRES IDENT JOHNSON
The general impression seems to prevail
that an attempt will be made by the next
Congress TO impeach President Johnson.
Strong hints have been thrown ou, by lead :
ing Radicals to that effect. Butler. who
has been nominated by the Republican
Congressional Convention. IN the 9th Mas
sachisetts District. on the first ballot,
which amounts to his election, has already
threatened TO draw up articles Of impeach.
men,. by which the President is 10 be de-
clared suspended from his office during his
trial; that is arrested.
The New York World, commenting on
Buffers plan Of impeachment. argues DIFF
ferently. thus:
i" The impeachment, having no other aim
than simply TO sacate his Office. can accom-
plish rs purpose just as well without the
custody Of his person as with it. He is sum
moned to appear on the same principle that
The defendant in a cisil-suit Il summoned
to appear. 1.-The stays away he only valves
his opportunity Of defence. An officer
summoned TO appear and answer 10 an i'm
parchment has these three alternatives.
with perfect freedom Of selection, namely !:
he NAV appear IN person /; he may APPEAR
only by counsel or he may decline to APP
pear at all. In the case Of Jus. ice Samuel
Chase. Of the U. 5. Supreme Court. i'm.
peached in 1905, the Senate, alter organic
ing As high court Of impeachment adopt
ed the following a. one Of is rules q pro-
'ceeding:
80 TO- The person impeached shall then
be called to appear and answer the articles
Of impeachment exhibited against him. II
he appears, or il ANY person for him, the
appearance shall be recorded. stating par
ticularly If by himself. or il by agent Or
attorney, naming the person appearing. and
the capacity 10 which he appears. II he
does not appear. either personally. or BY
agent, or attorney. The same shall be re.
corded
/: is clear, from this veigh,y and au-
thorltatire precedent, that General Butler
is wholly wrong in his law. In.tcad u the
President being taken into eustody end in
prisoned. il depends on his voluntary choice
whe ther he will appear before ths eouf, At
all. II he appears. he is just a. free TO
appear by attorney a. in person.
:. Ii we were t. hazard conjecture a. "a
the course Of the President. in case he
should be impeached. il would be that he
will object to the competency Of the court
and refuse to appear. II. whsn the law
gives man the benefit Of twelve jurymen,
an lniquitous court should attempt 10 try
him before seven, he would refuse TO plead.
The Constitution gives an impeached Of.
ficer the right 10 be tried BY seseniy-twu
Senators. and requires two thirds Of the
members to convict. IL the Radicals al.
tempt to try the President by hity.,wo, be

days in discussing the questions Of re-
construction, aud negro suffrage in the

no doubt will be choked down the
Threats of the people in some shape. In

troduced joint resolution, declaring
that the people Of the insurrcetionary
States having proclaimed their indepen-
dence, made war 90 tho Govcrnmentand
abolished the political functions guar
antecd them, they should be placed uns
der provisional Governments adapted 10
their wants and necessities Mr.. Howe
made a very radical speech in favor Of
his resolution. The pith Of his argu-
mcut lay in the fact proclaimed by him,
that il twenty-five Southern mcmbcrs
we're admitted 70 seats 10 the Senate
aud Fifty eight 10 seats in the House Of
Representatives, these aeeessi0ns Of
strength would enable the President to
carry ont his policy Of restoration, aud
would also give him the power, IL so
disposed, to work for his own collection.
