There are no lions here. The President rosrs
gently ss sucking dove, under the soothing
syrups Of old Tom Ewing and other Conscrva-
tives who don't want him tn smash tho Demo-
cratic machine at tho Now York elections
And WHEN Mr.. ]. Ia silent and civil, Washing.
ton Ia fiat, stale, and Improbable.
There 10 not q unity OF opinion whether or not
Impeachment will 60 forward. Earnest men sny
that II II Ia not accomplished, In all future time
no matter how serious the otfenses Of any Presi-
dcut, the example OF the present one Will be
quoted as conclusively showing the lmpossibity
Of compelling obedience to the laws, from the
Chief Executive. 1t Is further urged that john
sons crimes are made neither greater nor less by
the elections, and that II on October 9TH II was
the duty of Congress to impeach, the result of
the ballotng on October Sth has not affected that
duty. Besides all really obscrvant aud thinking
men know that the late elections showed no Re
publican overthrow, but only Repnb icau apathy,
and careless over-conhdencc. The majority of
the Judiciary Committee it is now well under
stood, ale in favor Of impeachng and rs IL is
not likely that they will change their minds t.
fore the 21st proximo, rather Incline to the be-
lief that a report to that effect will be made TO
Congress.
The speech of Hon. Mr. Lawrence, of Ohio,
just now made public, In the Congressional Globe
Appendix, states with Oyerp0wcring force the
grounds OF impeachment already known to the
public, but scarcely ever before arranged in so
lucid and striking manner The Judge has
been of all times steady advocate of mpeach-
menl, believing 1t would be the greatest assurance
of future safety to the natoE In indicating the
majesty of the Constitution and the laws, aud
luui it Is absolutely essential us precedent. lie
docs not hesitate to express his belief thai the
facts already well known, which are matters OF
record, not possibly deniable, are ample To war
rant, and to demand the trial of the President.
Ills speech sets forth these without any refer
ence TO the testimony before the committee still
kept private but have assurances that the latter
when published will be overwhelming in the con-
,inccment of the people that impeachment Is
necessury--NE the welfare OF the
