REvERDY JoHNRoN's VrEws OF IMPEAcE

REvERDY JoHNRoN's VrEws OF IMPEAcH-
MENT.-fhere are almost an Infinite num-
Der of phrses Of opinion on impeachment
from Gen. Butler, who believes that civil
officer may be punished ia that way. for
taking more glasses of brandy than he should
to Reverdy johnson who thinks that impeach-
ment can be, resorted to only in cases of trea-
son and bribery. He says:aIEs
From the beginning of the government it
has been uniformly decided by the supreme
court that there are no common law ofenses
prohibited by the constitution, except such as
are specially named. In the clause before us,
the only ofanses so designated are treason
and bribery. For the nature of these offanses
the courts have right to refer TO the common
law for their definition but it is otherwise as
to the general terms, high crimes and misde-
naeanors. These not being specified, and
there being no common law jurisdiction in the
courts of the Union, they cannot take eegni-
zance of them without statutory authority.
IT this was not so, the doctrine of the jul
dietary would be palpably wrong. But if
there may under the clause be crime and
misdemeanor not made known by statute,
it is certain that there must be some laT
making it SO. No act, therefore, which tue
President may do is cause of impeachment,
unlessit be treason or bribery, or declared
criminal by statute or the common law,
ANY other construction would place it in
the power ofthe House of Representatives to
make any act of the president, though not
prohibited by law and wholly innocent, a
crime OF misdelneanor, which would be to
place the president in absolute dependence
UPON Congress, contrary to the obvious design
OF the constitution. The result is that the
president can only be impeached for treason,
or bribery. or for some act made by statute
high crime and misdemeanor. Any alleged
violations of supposed duty not made a
crime by statute, any alleged violation of pal7
nv tealty, any use of his official patronage
which politicians may find fault WITH OF
which may have proved injurious TO the pub
lie interest, are not causes OF impeachment.
The Portland daily press., 1867-11-28

PARTICULAR ATTENTION is due to the testi-
mony of Secretary McCulloch and Commits
sionsr Rollins before the Impeachment Com
mittee The Republican party has been oblig-
ed to endure the odium of all that has been
irregular and faulty in the collection of the
revenue. The people have been exhorted to
place Democrats in power, on the express
ground that the corrupt Republican officials
were wasting the substance of the people in
profigate and riotous living, and subordinat
ing the interests of the country to the interests
of party. Now Mr.. johnson is a Democrat
and his administration is a Democratic admin
istration, beyond all question. IT is equally
certain that Hugh McCulloch is Finance
Minister after his own heart. The Secretary
is among the foremost supporters OF "my poll
cy," having made public profession of that
faith upon the occasion of the famous smoking
out serenade. Yet when Mr.. McCulloch was
examined on oath before the Committee, his
tealty to truth outweighing that to johnson,
he testified that the revenues were not SO well
collected as they would have been if the origi-
nal appointees had been allowed to retain
their offices. He also gave an account of in
judicious removals by-order of the President.
The testimony of Commissioner Rollins afford
ed still stronger evidence of the manner in
which the President had sacrificed the revenue
for the sake OF efecting partizan purposes. He
said that few of the removals had been for dis
honesty or incapacity, and that the removals
Oy the President had caused the loss of sever
al millions of dollars. There were men in The
service whom he had asked To have raYoovad
as many as six times. In most districts where
the officers had been changed loss had occur
red. In 240 collection districts 100 assessors
had been removed In States where removals
were made, the best men were removed.

REPUTATION is the refusal on the part of a
government to pay its debts The legal-tender
act declares greenbacks legaltender for all
payments except payments of interest on The
public debt and of duties ON imports. The Ar.
gus stupidity asked the other day whether the
enactment of law which thus scrupulously
provides for the payment of all national obi
cations, dollar for dollar, in gold was not-of all
things in the world-repudiation Instead of
referring our ingenious neighbor to the diction-
airy we respectfully replied that so far as we had
been able to ascertain, the enactment of the
law was not reputation, nor burglary, nor ar
son, nor any malIeasance whatever. The Ar
gus now explains that it intended to say that
tne law operated as practical reputation OF
al prt0dte debts to the interest of so per cent"
we supposed by natural error that when the
Argus said "repudiation" it meant--repudia-
tion' the refusal of government to pay its
debts. 1t turns out that something unite diff
erent was intended-the interference of oov-
ernments with private contracts Varr ,-,o1,
we shall have something to say abont tbat

gument in favor of paying off the national
debt in paper rags. 1t takes two days to
print the argument. The money" could be
printed in about the same time.
Speaker Coltax is said to have stated that
the reason why Mr., Hooper was not appointed
to the Craftsmanship of the Ways and Means
committee was because he was too strong an
advocate of contraction and the resumption
of specie payment.

GEN. buffers reply to Mr. Blaine on Tues
day was ingenious, but unsatisfactory. Perhaps
the best illustration of his method of dealing
with financial questions is his assertion that
in 1864, Mr. Fessenden as Secretary of the
Treasury, decided that the 7-3O Treasury notes
of the first series, issued in 1861, were PAYABLE
in currency. If these notes were payable in
currency, Mr.. Butler argued, then fortaori
all other national obligations are so payable
This would not follow. A distinction was from
the beginning made between the Temporary
and the long loans. The three-year loans were
all ito be paid, and have been paid, in currency,
the object being to encourage investment in the
long loans-a very good object too, considering
the circumstances. But suppose the distinc-
ton unwise or unjust, is Mr.. Butler going to
tell us now that two wrongs make one right?
that because we cheated our creditors in 1861,
therefore we have perfect right to cheat them
in 1868? Besides, it turns out that Mr.. Butler
was not sure of his facts. Mr.. Blaine, who re-
members everything, asked permission to read
single sentence, and proceeded as follows:, d
The decision in regard to the payment of
the frst series OF Seven-thirty notes was made
on the 18th May, 1864, by Salmon p Chase,
Secretary OF the Treasury, in these words
the three year seven-thirty Treasury notes
are part of the temporary loan, and will be
paid in Treasury notes, unless the holders pre-
fer to exchange Them" Sc. That was two
months before Mr.. Fessenden went into the
Treasury. He found the question res ddjudi-
cdtd. The gentleman is all wrong in charging
this upon Mr.. Fessenden. -tl ! :

at and not with the General who had been
tripped up SO handsomely. al lt ld. sa

HE IMPEACHMENT QUESTION is exciting
more interest in Washington apparently than
anywhere else. The price of gold was abso-
lutely unaffected by the report of the commit
tee. Everybody seemed to understand that
the favorable report simply marked the vacil-
lation of one man, Mr.. Churchill, and he is
merely a new member from the Oswego dis
trict in New York of whom the nation knows
nothing. The real question is whether the
House will sustain the report, and that will
probably be settled by the attitude of the Sem
ate. The Boston Advertisers special cores
pondent reports that three prominent New
England Senators, who spent good part of
Monday night and Tuesday forenoon in look
ing through the printed volume of evidence
declare that impeachment cannot possibly be
sustained on that testimony. There is pref
ty general feeling among anti-impeachment
men that the case against the President is
weaker now than before the report was made
and the evidence brought into light. The
main point in the report, as we have already
stated, is what is called the Presidents "usur-
patton" in recognizing Congress- Now the
people at large, while they have no special in
terest in Mr.. Johnsons fate, do not care two
straws for this usurpation. Their complaint
against Mr.. johnson arises from his subse-
quent misconduct, and particularly from his
removal of Secretary Stanton in defiance of
law IT he fails to explain that outrage salts
factorily, there will be strong desire to see
him removed. As the case stands now, there
is general indifference to the whole matter
feeling that our Representatives have been
sent to Washington to attend to this among
other items of business, and mu st do what is
right about it, ." ''A-
