Advertiser says-"Congress is acting
with shameful partnership in un-
seating members who claim seats.
Disguise it as they will, it is be-
lieved that these changes are made
tor purely partisan purposes. In the
case of Mr.. Stockton, the necessity
of his displacement is almost openly
urged on party grounds, and the
manner in which it was accomplished
is simply disgraceful. The House
has already ousted Mr.. VOORHEES,, and
now it awaits the inevitable hour
when Mr.. Brooks is to go. Congress,
Or rather the dominant party, is set
ting a precedent that will yet return
to plague the inventor. Cannot poll
tlclans learn that honesty and fair
dealing have not gone out of vogue ?
Does the majority insist upon dead
level conformity? Do they fear the
ability of themen whom they so cava-
lierly unseat? If this thing continues,
contestants alone will have seats,
and the right of Democrats to
place, will not depend upon the peo-
pie who elect them, but upon the ne
cesslties of party managers"

Fatal MISTAKE ERoM ADMINISTER.
ING MORPHINE. -Cornoner Collect was
called on Monday last to hold an in.
quest over the body of lad some ten
or twelve years old, named Jas. Bra.
son Duck, who died in this city on
the night previous. DR.. A. F. Steele,
whose surgical aid was brought into
play to aid the jury in their investiga-

ton of the body and revealed to light
the melancholy fact, that the lad had
come to his death from having taken
overdoses Of morphine, administered
to hin BY his mother. It appears
that she had mistaken the vial of

Austria rejects, desiring the Sllesian

on the opposite theory II they are in the Mon
they are entitled TO az fair share OF the Cabinet,
offices and foreign missions; but If the President
bestows on them such appointments, how can
Senate which regards them as out of the Union
confirm his nominations, OF Congress consent to
appropriations for their salaries Fer these two
ceed on opposite theories would happily accom-
modate the wishes of Mr.. Stewards both as post
poning the reconstruction of the Cabinet, and
enabling him (if the Times theory were ac-
qulesced in) to give quasi support to the Presi-
dent without breaking with the Republican
party.
But the Executive and Legislative departments
of the Government cannot long proceed in inde-
pendenCe of each other. The Executive depart
ment becomes defunct unless we crn 9lect new
President; and the question between the exist
ing President and Congress must be settled be-
fore Presidential election is possible. The next
President must be elected on one or the other of
these conflicting and irreconcilable theories. If
those eleven States are excluded, the election
will not be valid il they have good title to vote
and uice ue'sd. Unless the question is decided,
the Presidential election will plunge us into
another civil war. If one candidate has
majority of all the electoral votes, and another
a majority of the States which Congress considers
as entitled TO be counted, question will arise
which only the sword can decide, unless the
Government is previously brought into har-
mony with ITSELF.
1t Is very certain that the President will not
Weld; and there are abundant indications that
the Republican majority in Congress hold OF the
same temper rs on the first day of the session.
The House resolution, passed by a large majority
on Monday, was a vote of censure against the
President. For what other purpose could they
have demonstrated against his Withdrawing
troops from the Southern States than that of
censure? If meant as an instruction to the
President, 1t was a usurpaton and an insult.
The Constitution makes him the Commander-in-
Chief of the army; ard, in this capacity. he is
superior TO all dictation as to how its movements
shall be directed. He can make any distribu-
tion of the troops he pleases, and Congress has
no more right to interfere than the Supreme
Court has to serve on him an Injunction restrain
ing him from issuing certain orders to his subordi
nate commanders. After this gross affront to the
President, supported by so large majority, it is
absurd for the Republican journals to descant
ON the prospect of a reconciliation.

Congress and the President The "'Irrepres
sible COnflIct.o
From The World.

From the World.
The Republican leaders find themselves "be
tween the devil and the deep sea-" If they
break with the President they incur the risk of
so weakening their party that they can no longer
command majority in the Northern States If
they acQuiesce in his policy, the admission ofthe
South into Congress and its participation in the
next Presidential election threaten them with
more certain ruin from another quarter.
In the difference which has arisen between
Congress and the President, Mr.. Seward has
availed himself OF q convenient pretext for ab-
sence from the scene of conflict. He might have
derived equal advantage to his health from
voyage in the month OF February; but he could
not have remained III Washington during the
crisis of the conflict without actively eXertlng
his influence on one side or the other. He is q
statesman of too much standing in his party, he
has personal relations with too many members
of both Houses, his social and political influence
is toe great, to permit HIM to stand aloof as q
neutral spectator he could not continue to hold
his Office and oppose the President; he could not
retain his standing III the Republican party and
actively support him; and so he flies from the
field OF battle to return wnen the smoke OF the
conflict'begins TO lift, AID enable him to see on
whicE at the opposing standards victory Is likely
to perch.
Meanwhile, his faithful organ in this city is
attempting to demonstrate that there is really
no conflict nor any ground for conflict, between
the President and Congress. Congress, it says,
cannot undo the work of the President in the
Southern States; the President on the other
hand cannot admit members of either House TO
their disputed seats; and so long as each con-
hnes Itself to its own sphere, there is no posi-
bility OF collision. There is, in all this an art
ful air of innocence which walls a stroke of con-
summate political cunning. The most desirable
thing Tor Mr.. Seward, as a Presidential aspirant
is to have the existing difference kept open. II
it were closed, by the admission OF the South
with white suffrage, Mr.. johnson or General
Grant would be the next President; if by admis-
sion with black suffrage, Mr.. Chase would be
the inevitable candidate for the Republican
party; but by keeping the question unsettled,
MT. Seward hopes to slip in as the compromises
OF an otherwise irIecOncilable difference.
The Times reasoning on this subject Is technl-
cally plausible, but practically absurd. IL is
true that the President has no Ilghtiul voice IN
the admission OF members OF the two Houses;
and that Congress has no authority to oust the
new State Governments; and that II neither
intIudes into the province OF the other, no con.
fict can arise at these particular points But
who can be blind TO the enormous incongrulty
| of the Executive department OF the Government
acting on the theory that eleven States are IN
the Union and entitled 70 all Federal rlShts
while the Legislative department Is treating them
