THE IMPEACHMENT QUESTION.

The incendiary harangues of the ultra
leaders Of the Radical party have familiar
lied the popular mind with the idea of the
Impeachment Of President JOHNSON. The
hippancy with which reckless men have dis
cussed it, has caused a concern among the
judiciOus, and something approaching alarm
among the timid. The most desperate Of
the Radical party, however, have never Sc
riOusly contemplated such a step. All that
has been said Of it by them is mere bTJttrH
talHea. TWAS done for political effect only.
When Congress meets there may be propo-
sitions presented looking TO impeachment,
but their only object will be to save the con-
sisteney Of certain men, and to secure politi-
cal ends. There is DO purpose to impeach,
and there will be no serious attempt TO do it.
1t is an audacious suggestion for party pur-
poses. Babe as they are, the very
men who have sought to debauch the
people Of the North with such project, will
shrink from carrying itinto execution. The
President is no more in jeopardy Of articles
ofimpeachment than was JEFFERSON, MADI-
son or JACKSON. Thevery sort Of men who
denounced these men are now arrayed
against JOHNSON. Thereare men, and they
will be on the floor of Congress, who will
advocate such proposition. Some Of them
will be in earnest others will make skill
full retreat in due time There will be no
majority to support scheme so revolution
airy, and no public opinion to justify it. 1t
is a radical rod held IN terrorela to drive the
President into measures. It is but a
painted devil" and the men who think it
will alright ANDREW JOHNSON, mistake
the man they are dealing with.
Two prominent Radical journals-the Al
bahy Euening Journal and the Cincinnati
Gazette-are already administering caution
to the more ultra of their followers, and
timely toning down Radical sentiment on
this question. They know very well the
groundlessness Of an impeachment, and the
futility Of the attempt to execute it. They
have the sense to discern that I'M
der the circumstances, it is fragrant revolu-
ton, and they know that bold stroke is
not the policy of their party. BUTLER and
boutwell, viii bluster, but they cannot
drag their followers into the impeach-
ment scheme. There is a conservatism
among the people, North and South,
that does not intend to be driven in
to another civil war, and that will prevail
against all the devilish agencies brought to
bear to produce it. The friends of the
President, and Of the peace and order that
he is attempting to bring out of the chaos
of the civil war, need have no fear of his
impeachment at the hands of the Radical
Congress, flushed though it is with party
triumph. Their leaders are desperate, but
they will not dare to attempt to dismiss the
Executive, and substitute creature of their
own as the ratliying automaton Of the will
Of a Congressional Oligarchy.

Ara convention Of the officers Of the three
railroads connecting Nashville and Decatur,
held on Tuesday evening, the terms Of con-
solidation previously submitted to the stock
holders Of tho respective companies and APP

This is a signal step forward in our direct
railroad connection with the Gulf coast. If
our capitalists and business men have a true
conception Of their duties and interests, they
will sec that no step backward is taken.

New YORK, October PA Times Wash

dent this morning, continuing up to the mo-
ment of the meeting of the Cabinet. He
then withdrew until the Cabinet adjourned,
at which time the interview was resumed.
The object of this protracted interview was
the threatening affairs in Maryland. The
subject was also discussed in the Cabinet, and
there is the best authority fer saying that the
Cabinet was unanimously agreed to the
courseof the Governor.
Under the decision in the Dorr case it is
acknowledged that the General Government
is bound to protect the constitutional au-
thorities of any or all the States against
domestic instruction, or any other form of
resistance to their authority.

Trooua

Our Claims against EngIand--The Mexi-
can Question: Withdrawal OF French
Troops.
New York, Oct. 24.-The Times Wash
ington special says, in regard to our affairs
with England, growing out of the depreda-
tions, during the war, of the privateers Ala
bama aid Shenandoah: Mr.. Adams, our
| Minister to the Court of ST. James, was
some time since instructed to make peremp-
tory demand for indemnity for the loss sus-
tanned by our commercial interest. To this
! demand, Mr.. Adams received an evasive re-
ply. He was at once instructed to repeat
the demand. He did so, but no definite re-
spouse has yet been received; but the tone
of the English newspapers lately received,
indicates that these renewed and persistent
demands have not been without effect. The
British Government is now putting out feel
ers in their various organs, showing their
disposition in the matter. From theseitap-
pears that they are willing to submit the
claims to arbitration, or to board of nation
al commissioners. Our Government will ac-
cept no arrangement of this sort, but will
insist on prompt and full payment of the
claims. This is our ultimatum as contained
in the instructions under which Mr.. Adams
is now acting.
The Times Washington special says the
attitude of this country to Mexico, and the
condition of affairs in that country as pre-
viouslY communicated to you is fully con-
firmed. The French Government has aols-
ed for delay of time for the withdrawal of
the first installment of their troops until the
LIST of January, with the promise, if this
time is granted, it will reduce the time al
lowed fer the removal of the remaining de-
tachments and remove all subsequently at
one time. To this our Government has not
assented, but insists that the withdrawal
should commence at once, and proceed as
previously arranged in case of anarchy.
Our Government will sustain the Juarez
Government, and in consideration of services
rendered in lower California, and the north
ern portion of Sinala and chihuahua, will
be ceded to the United States.
1t is no part of the agreement yet made
that the United States is to guarantee the
claims of France against Mexico, although
such course may appear expedient and
proper, in which case the government of this
country will not hesitate to take the response
bility. The main point sought is to enforce
the Monroe doctrine by removing European
Intervention from Mexican affairs. and guar
anteeing TO that country republican form
Of government. The responsibility of this
undertaking has been fully discussed by the
Cabinet, and the decision has been unani-
mously received, that the time has come for
action, indicated in the proceedings above
foreshadowed. These proceedings have now
taken different form and shape, and have
entered so far into prosecution as to be be-
yond control.
