pate prompt organization Of both Houses,
with most Of the officers of the last legisla-

memorable events Of the session. We of
course mean the Senstori elections This
Legislature is to be memorable beyond all
preceding ones, by the election Of three mem
bers to the Senate Of the United States. This
has never occurred before, and in all proba-
bility will never occur again. We may safe
ly say that these elections will be the chief
events of the Session-those to which the
people are looking with the greatest interest.
and the candidates with the greatest anxiety.
And these elections, which are of the first
importance, aie also to be among the fret
work Of the Session. By the act Of Congress
Of July 25 1866 a certified copy Of which we
have procured from the State Department.

23d instant, to make these elections. The
act is as follows:

The frieads Of the President ate seriously
disturbed by the threats Of impeachment, Of
which he Il now and then the subject. Mr..
johnson himself is said to be uneasy on this
point and 10 inquire rather anxiously what
Congress will do in case il is sustained by
the people at the election this fall, as now
appears certain. It is violently objected that
impeachment would be little short of a revo-
lutionafy measure, that it would bring mat
tiers to extremity between the President and
Congress, and could only be resorted to by a
party bent upon taking possession Of the
government at any cost.
The Presidents friends may be right in
saying that in one sense at any rate, the pro-
cess Of impeachment would be revolutionary.
That is to say, although it is the Constitu-
tional method of trying question of misde-
meanor in the Executive office, it might be
difficult as affairs now stand to resort to it
without danger of a conflict which might
bring revolutionary results IN its train. But
it is not for the President or his supporters
TO threaten resis ance which shall bring mat
ters to such pass as this, when an appeal
to the judicature OF the Constitution is pro-
posed. If this tone is assumed with refer
ence to such a proposition, 1t is the best Tea-
son we have YET heard for thinking it time to
try the strength Of our government in this
respect.
But we wish particularly to point out
that it i'll becomes the Presidents party to
complain Of suggestion Of impeachment,
when they threaten unequvocally to organize
the Forieth Congress in certain event by a
coup d'etat, and when some OF their nominees
ioi that G ngress shamelessly avow that they
will abet such proceeding. Men who ham
die edge-tools must not complain If their fin
gers ale cut. II the body which is stigma
~ d as changing upon the verge of the goy-
eminent has to pass through an excited
Eagle like the present to save itself from
being jacted from its own halls by the Ex-
ecuuye, 30 is not for those who thus threaten
/ it to complain IL its members sometimes think
Of striking back. IL is deplorable enough
that the struggle between She President and
Congress should ever have reached this roint
OF reciprocal menace; but the President.
friends DO NOT appear 20 have discovered the
unpleasant nature Of such "a preceding unit
! it was found chat, so far from MS carrying
matters with high hand, the next Congress,
/ is likely 20 b. stronger IN It's opposition tC

MAssAoREs OF CHRlsTIANs.-Advices from
Gambia to the 9th instant say that massacres
Of unarmed Christians by the Turks have
been perpetrated upon considerable scale,
as follows:
On the night of the 80, false report being
spread that the Christians had killed two
Mussulmen at the village Of senia, the Turks
Of Rethymnos congregated at place called
Graude Tartg, intending to sally out of the
town and take vengence. Tie Sub Governor
succeeded in preventing this and left the
same evening for Conea, delegatng his func-
tions to the commandant OF the place. The
next morning this officer placed senhnels at
the gates to prevent the Mussulmen from
leapipg; but about one hundred and twenty
succeeded in leaving over the lower parts OF
| the ramparts, and dispensing about the neigh
boThood, mastered all the Christians they
encountered. Upon the 9th, Notwithstanding
the return of the Sub-Governor, the Mussul-
men broke out to the number Of 1900 and thu
massacres were RECOMMENDED. A Turkish
battalion sent by the sub-goyornor to put al
end to the disturb ance made common caust
with the asseilants. The number of killed i
stated at $50, consisting mostly of old men
women and children, the men capable Of bear
ing aims being absent in the insurgent camps
The villages have been pillaged and destroye,
} and the plumber publicly sold in the Chris
tian cemetery. In the towns the Chrstia
inhabitants are taking refuge at the houses G
( the various oonsuls. Protests against thes
acts of violence have been made by the con
sular agents Of Greece, ngland, France an,
: Prussia The Greek Consul has inlorme,
his government that he does not believe him
self safe in remaining at Rethymnos.
