Hard Times In Ronfnn.

True Doctrine.
From the Louisville Couricr.l

aNHA NAN NNNAANAsJ
Colonel BaDer, in his speech 10 the
Democracy at Columbus, Ohio, a syn.
opsis Of which We publish to-day, took
true Democratic ground in reference
to the Southern States. Those States,
ho contcnded, have legitimate STATE
! Governments, and no Senator, no
representative in Congress, and no
Presidential e%lector, chosen by q fran.
cli1e forced upon the people by Con-
gressional usurpauor, should be re-
spectod or recognized. This sentl-
ment has the ring Of the true metal
about it. 1t is the theory of the Con-
stitutlon, and the only n upon which
white supremacy and Republican Gov
eminent can be maintained. 1t is the
true solution Of the reconstruction
problem-the clue by which the ma
ton may effect a safe AMI honorable
escape from the intrIcacics of the worse
than Cretan Labyrinth in which II has
become involved through She traitor
Gus wiles of Radical conspirators.
We eco mend to such weakened
brothers as would daily with com
promises the bold stand against the
whole Of the so-called reconstruction
policy taken by Col. Baber and the
sterling Democracy of Ohio. With
them there is no shrinking from the
true issue. They see in r~econstruc
ton, ~so.callcd. an attempt on tho part
Of a Radical Congress to p~crpetuate
party a%scendeney by usurplng powe r
over the governments and people of
ten States, and by the establishment OF
negro supremacy, and they treat it ac-
cordlngly.
Let it not be forgotten that, as Col.
Baber says, the only legitimate State
governments at the South are those
which have bonn established by the
people, and consequently that all con-
gressional legislation based upon the
pretended abrogation Of such State
governments Is wholly unconstitulioD.

Not Wanted.

A correspondent of n conservative
Republican newspaper suggests that II
new party is wanted. The writer dis.
satisfied With the corruption Of Radical
politicians and the disregard of princi.
PIE that %pervades the Radical party,
probably means we'll when he makes
the suggestion. But his motives, how
ever well intended, are mistak ken.
There is no new party wanted. The
evils OF Radicalism will be overcome,
and ARE being overcome. without any
new party. The more ancient, more
just, and morc lasting principles of
Democracy will serve where a new
party would be sure to fail. The only
refuge tor disafFec.cd Republicans, and
they may be counted by hundreds of
thousands, is IN the enduring justice Of
Democratic principles.

tended for.

The Piqua Democrat, which is &C
customed to take a common sense view
Of matters, thus discourses upon I'm
~peachuNnt:
As u Radical friends declare that
the Almighty brought about the war
for the purpose Of this cou ntry
OF slavery, so He may intend the i'm.
parchment move for the purpose Of
Kidding us Of this internal Radilcal
fanaticism which is now cursing the
land. For, with the recent mdorso>
ment of the people, the President
would hardly submit to be tried by n
part of u Senate, when under the COu-
stitution he Is entitled to Senate
composed Of Senators from all the
States in the Union. The President
recognizesa all the States as in the Union,
any entitled TO representation in the
U. S Senate.
Thon with tho attempt to remove,
would ONE resistance. which would
produce collision. The President, be-
ing the Commander. in Chief of the
army and navy, and having truth,
justice and the people on his side, the
result would not be doubtful.-Radl-
callsm and Radical reconstruction
would be swept from the land, and the
whole people would again be free.
This may be the way intended to get
rid of the misrule that is now cursing
the country, but we cannot think 50.
W. hope no such tragedy is in store FOR
US, but if this is the only remedy and
must come, then in our opinion, the
sooner it comes the better, for there
will be more of the institutions of the
country to save. Every day the Rad
icals continue in power they are eat
ing out the life principles ofthe Gov.
eminent.
We have thought seriously over the
matter, and have not been able to
arrive at the conclusion that the inn
parchment would not be the best way
to work out reconstruction, provided
the President is the right man IN the
right place and is equal to the emer-
gency.

The Power Of Congress 10 Re
move the President Pending
HIS Trial.

Hon. Reverdy johnson of Maryland,
n Of the ablest lawyers in the coun.
try, takes issue with Thaddeus Ste
VEN and other Radicals, on the power
Of Congress TO remove the President
pending his trial for an Improbable
offense, and effectually demolishes their
theories. The writer says:
"The writer has been informed that
some Of the members of Congress pros
fess to be OF .he opinion that that body
can, by statute, declare that pending
Of nm impeachment Of the President
shall constitute a disability on his
part, to perform the functions Of his
Office.
at is supposed that by such !egisla-
ton be may be brought within the
meaning of the clause in the first sec
ton of the second article Of the Con-
stitutior, which provides for his re.
moval for, amongst other couses his
stability to discharge the powers and
duties thereof.
1.-THE answer 10 the proposition are
several and conclusive.
~. The clause does not contemplate
. mere suspension or temporary re.
moval. The removal provided for in
such case is the same as that which IL
10 result from q conviction upon i'm
parchment, or from death, or resigna.
tiop, which, Of course, ~ not temporary
but q permanent one. The removal
on conviction is, also, not OILY perma
neut, but is followed by the further
Judgment of disqualification to hold
any other Office under the Govern.
ment.
at will hardly be maintained that
Congress can, by statute, create q
greater punishment than THE, or maze
it less. The subject was evidently not
designed to be submitted 10 the dis.
cretion OF Congress. This being 50,
for TIE anne reason Congress IS not
entrusted with the power TO declare
any other judgment in tho case Of re,
moval from inability than the one
which is 10 cnsue the happening of
either of She other events mentioned IN
the clause.
"2. The inability mentioned is such
an inability rs renders tho President
permanently incapable of dlscharglng
bis duties. Any other Interpretation
would give Congress the authority to
provide that temporary absence from
the seat of Government, OF temporary
sickness. or any other event, should
constitute an inability There ia, also,
no judicial judgment to be pronounced
in such n case. Tho removal, as in
the case Of death, or resignation, is to
take pla je the moment the contingency
happens, and the duties Of the Office
instantly devolve upon the Vice Presi.
dent.
10. AS the judgment, on impeach-
uent, :nAicts no personal punishment,
as the trial may go on as we'll without
as with the presence in the Senate of
the President, and as that body has no
authority to compel his attendance, II
is obvious that he is just as capable
during the trial to perform the duties
Of his Office as hs lie befor or after a
Judgment of acquittal. Under the
power to pass all laws necessary and
proper to execute the powers granted,
no such authority as the one in quss.
ton belongs TO Congress, no legislation
being necessary to effect the object of
the cIause-thst being accomplished
the moment the event occurs 0, an
inability within tina constitutional
meaning Of that term"
