The impeachment of the President.

a. great deal has been said lately by
the radicals about the impeachment OF
the President. The following well.
considered views on the subject arc from
tho Albany Eventmg Journal a Repub-
lican paper of ability:
eff an impeachment was ordered, it
would not be merely the trial Of Andrew
Johnson but also tho arragnmcnt ola
party which represents very great and
exceedingly active minority "a large,
majority, counting tho South in, } Of the
American people. That party tccopta
the President as its leader and exponent.
1t sustains his policy with energy and
determination. 1t defends, upon what
it calls constitutional grounds, The very
acts which arc relied upon to justify tho
process ofarraignmont. 1t says that
any attempt to Withdraw this power
from tho Executive would, in itself, be
usurpation. Wo cannot doubt that, if
articles of impeachment wore to be pro
pared, the Democracy would consider
itself as having been placed at the bar
would repudiate the judgment as the
illumination Of ono party against the
other, and would stand ready to uphold
the President in refusal to submit,
though that refusal should result in civil
war, rs would bo most likely, in the
excited state ofthe public mind, certain
to prevail.
'Lot us imagine the condition Of
affairs: a chief magistrate condemned
by court whose jurisdiction ls denied,
at tho outset, by several millions Of
American citizens. He refuses to obey
process. The Senate. declares him out
of ofico but he persists in the exercise
ofprerogative. Congress, thon, repre-.
scnting the Government, undertakes to
oust him; but he summons to his aid
what military lo caf1 command, and pro.
pares to test the question Of force.
Meanwhile, the violence and turbulence
engcndered at tho national capital, ex-
tend through every section OF a country
not yot fully recovered from the dcliri
um of war. Parties are developed il,
each town, city and hamct, holding
excitedly to the most pronounced opm.
ions on one side or tho other, and roady
to fight for those opinions. a. spark
might at any moment drop into such
magazine, and then--what then r w
| Of tho North yet hardly know wha
civil war means, as they have 'learnel
it, who have seen street divided agains
street, and family against family, Law
obliterated, order destroyed, civil secu
rites overthrown, and ,neighboy. .arraye'
in mortal c,mity against ncighbor."
It is stated as asingdlar fact tha
tho countorfciting of the Unito'
States currency has reached such per
fection that tho counterfeit currency
regularly redeemed at the Treasury
cancelled and destroyed with the res
| of the mutilated currency.

Assuming that the average prices per train
in England are applicate in this country, and
challenging those who dispute to show how
they differ, Mr.. Quincy says,"a train car
rying 200 tuns of freight or passengers could
be run between Boston and Albany at q net
cost of $3.50 So" The charges on this road
are 81 per tun, or 81. 400 for one train of 200
tuns of freight, or $4,000 for passengers, at
So each. In the evidence appended to the
legislative report appears the fact that freight
is carried from Western cities to the seaboard,
distance of 1, 100 miles, at charge Of $40
per tun to the shipper. This is less than one
cent per tun per mile, which is paying rate,
and profitable to the carrier. The charges,
therefore, between Boston and Albany should
be reduced from 81 to So per tun and in Or
der to accomplish this, and corresponding
reduction in passenger fares, Mr.. Quincy
proposes that the State shall as provided for
in the charters, purchase the connecting lines
between Boston and Albany, reduce the seed
ule of pr ices to one-sixth of the present rates
and place the management of the roads in
the control of the Boston Board of Trade
If it be true, as asserted by Mr.. Gait, an
experienced railroad manager in England,
that passenger can be conveyed 100 miles
at a cost of cents, certainly the people in
this country are most outrageously taxed for
the support of monopolies. If for 10 cents
passenger can be conveyed from Boston to
Albany, and for So cents to Chicago, the
charge of 60 times these sums will not long
be endured by the people.
1t is undoubtedly true that low rates of
transportation increase trade and promote the
growth of population and wealth, and is. at
the same time profitable to the public carri-
er. The action ofthe people and Legislature
of Massachusetts, should stimulate investiga-
ton in other States, so that, if possible, the
burden that hangs like milestone on the
necks ofpeop.e and communities distant from
commercial centers may be speedily removed
and the tyranny of monopoly be destroyed
by appropriate legislation.-NcU York 7ri-
buaae.
