reasons-if presentation the suspension Of
Stanton we know will be rejected by the
Senate. The removal Of Stanton, II indicated
by another appointment submitted to the
Senate for ratification, will probably result in
q resolution pronouncing removal and appoint
ment illegal and void. What thenf The
President, 1t Is said, will appeal to his con-
struction Of the law and make Q case for the
Supreme Court Az yet We hear Of no regular
appointment In place Of Stanton, and 1t may
be withheld for some two or three weeks
longer.
The party Of impeachment may insist upon
Q suspension Of any action on the subject until
Mr.. johnson shall show his hand in the case Of
Stanton. Otherwise, within the coming week,
from the facts and charges against the Execu-
tive from the impeachment committee, we
shall be prepared for the quashing Of the
Indictment The late elections cannot have
failed to make an impression upon the domi-
nant party in Congress which will clip the
wings of the radicals upon impeachment ss
well as upon negro suffrage.
