Tho Probabilities and Prospects Of che In
! poachmsat Msvcment.
North and South the public journals OF all
parties have entered into the discussion of the
probabilities and prospects Of the movement
| initiated in Congress looking 10 the lmpeach-
ment and removal Of President johnson. In
some quarters Il Is urged as good and neces-
sary thing; in some IL is considered q mere
game Of bluff; here 1t is thought 10 be very
uncertain as to the issue; and there il is set
down as fizzling out. Some weakened alarm
lists denounce 1t as nothing better than Pan
dora's box, full OF oil sorts of evils and disas-
tors, including . financial CONFUSION and an
other civil war; and others think Mr.. johnson
will not be pushed to the wall. But all these
speculations are mere guess-work, from the
simple fact that the Judiciary Committee OF
the House, charged with the preliminary in
| quiry into this business, are properly pursuing
| their labors with closed doors. We presume
that this committee will not be prepared to
report Till near the end Of this session, some
four weeks hence; but when they do report We
expect an indictment OF impeachment, and that
the House will adopt it and demand Of the
Senate a trial OF Andrew johnson for "high
crimes and misdemcanors," requiring his re-
movsl from Office.
This impeachment must be made TO the Sen
ate before The 4th Of March or before the final
adjournment Of the present Congress on that
day; for otherwise the whole business with the
new Congress viii have to be commenced
sgain at the beginning. The present House
absolutely expires on the 4th Of March; but
the Senate (one-third OF Its members only being
elected with every new Congress) IL q continu-
Gus body. This House, then, before the 4th Of
March must act upon tho subject or its labors
will fall TO the ground; but the present
Senate, having received the indictment
from this House, may pass 1t over to
the Senate Of the new Congress. This,
we conclude, will be the plan Of opera
TONS Next, in regard to the charges against
Andrew johnson, the principal, and q very
serious one, viii doubtless be the charge Of
usurpation on his part Of some Of those high
powers which belong exclusively TO Congress.
Another charge will very likely be that Of in
fidelity TO his oath Of office, in failing to see the
laws Of Congress faithfully executed. The
| specifications upon the charge of usurpation
may be applied 10 his policy of reconstruction,
without authority in law and in defiance Of the
| will Of Congress, in each Of the ten excluded
rebel States. Upon this charge the testimony
| Of his Provisional Governors, &c, before the
high court Of the Senate will be conclusive.
The Secretary Of State, In this connection, II
necessary would also no doubt be impeached;
but as be will be disposed Of with the fall OF
bis master twill sufice to use him In the Senate
as States evidence touching the pronunciation,
under the Presidents authority, OF certain pro-
clamations letters and dispatches 70 said
Southern Provisional Governors, Legislatures,
&C., on reconstruction, including certain ON
cial papers recognizing The rebel States, In de-
nsncs Of Congress. as duly reinstated In the
general government
