THE GUARANTY CLAUSE.

Quoting an assertion made the other
day in this paper, that 1T is beyond the
preregative of Congress to inquire
whether recognized State in the Ameri-
can Union has or has not a Republican
constitution" city contemporary asks If
we hold that the clause in the Federal
constitution giving Congress power to
guaranty to every State in the Union a
republican form Of government is a
nullity.
In reply, we would ask if that paper
holds that grant of power to give Con
gress authority to sit in judgment on the
constitutions Of the various States and
decide what features in them are Repub-
hcan and what are not, and prescribe
alterations aud amendments to suit the
standard Of Republicanism set up by the
majority of that body. That is the mat
ter we were writing of, and it is one Of
the living issues, The school Of
Democracy in which we were taught de-
MES any such power to Congress; and if
there is q statesman Of any party outside
Of the few Federalists who went down in
$500, and of the Radical consolidation
lists who rose in 1861, who holds any
other theory, We do not know of him
There was much discussion in the con
yention Of 1889 about the propriety OF
such a clause in the constitution, the
argument being that there could be no
need Of it, but no man at that time took
the preposterous ground that the power
to- guaranty the preservation of re-
publican constitution conferred Federal
authority to "inquire" into the articles of
such instruments when once ratified by
the people Of q State in the Union. This
may be done when territory applies for

TOMORROW has been designated by the
President Of the United States to be OBJ
served as a day of thanksgiving through
out the United States. The custom of
thus observing the fourth Thursday in
each year was inaugurated by the late
President Lincoln 1t is limited that the
Governorof Tennessee cannot see any
thing in the recent elections for which
men of his way of thinking should be
thankful, and hence his neglect to issue
his proclamation. 1t is probable, how
ever, if the Governor had known that
this thanksgiving was a pet Of Mr.. Lin,
coin, he would have issped his proclama-
ton, as the Governors of nearly all the
other States have done, requesting an
observance of the day

Trial of MIR. paws. etc. etc.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 25.-Judge I'm
derwood received dispatch from Chief
Justice Chase saying that he would certain
ly be present this morning at Mr.. Davis
trial.
Among the witnesses are Gen. Lee and
his sons, Gen. Porter, of Grants staff, ex-
Gov. Letcher and Gen. Francis Smith, of
Lexington, who are here.
Upon the announcement of the adjourn
ment of the court yesterday afternoon, the
crowd, consisting chiefly of blacks, quietly
dispersed.
The panel, out of which the jury for the
trial is to be drawn, is one-third colored
men.
Judge Underwood yesterday granted the
prayer of Gen. Imboden, and mandamus
TO compel Gen. Schofeld to permit him to
vote was issued. 1t is made returnable on
the 9Th of December.

THE IMPEACHMENT.

The Judiciary Committee OF the House
Of Representatives in Congress, which
has been charged by the Jacobins in that
body with the labor of getting up evi-
dence to justify and sustain the proposed
impeachment of the President, has per-
forme3its Fart and submitted mass of
testimony, which has some historical in
terest, but is Of no value otherwise what
ever We reprint a portion of it this
morning, which is quite entertaining, but
no more shows the President guilty of
any crime, than that the moon is made of
Sweitzer cheese. This evidence shows:
J. Gen. Grant in paroling Lees army,
intended to protect the parOled Confed-
crates from all molestation, arrest, trial
or annoyance, either by the military or
civil authorities, for any crime or charge
whatever, as soldiers, except for viola
ton of the rules of civilized warfare,
during the war-and this protection was
to continue as long as the conditions of
the paroles were observed, if for life.
2 Gen. Grant was in favor of a speedy
restoration of civil government iii the
Southern States, in order that law and
order should be restored without delay.
g. Abraham Lincoln had proposed
scheme of civil government for the South
ern States before his death; that Andrew
johnson adopted and put it in execution
in his prOclamations establishing pro-
visional governments in the States of the
South, and that these proclamations were
prepared and agreed to in the Cabinet of
Mr. Lincoln before his death, Johnson
only FORMULATING them as already pre-
pared
4 Gen Grant favored the pardoning
of number of leading Rebels" in
Guiding Gems Lee and 10. Johnston, at
once, and a general amnesty as soon as
it was safe p
5. Chase refused to sit as Judge in
Virginia 80 long as the military was SUI
preme in that judicial circuit, and for that
reason would not go there to try Jeffer-
son Davis, while his court might at any
moment be interfered with by the military
power.
G. Attorney General Speed bitterly ops
posed the trial of Mr.. Davis by Judge
Underwood, believing it the duty of
Judge Chase to sit upon the trial, and
would not otherwise consent to the trial,
and therefore it was delayed
7. Detective Baker (a-long- time since-
proven scoundrel and liar) testified that
johnson, while at Nashville, as Military
Governor, wrote a friendly letter to JEFF
ferson Davis, in which he gave important
information as to the disposition Of the
Federal forces-that this letter was stolen
from Andrew Johnson's table-and that
the theft was committed by negro,
through the procurement of Gov. Brown
low. The truth or falsity of this state
ment, in its material part can be sub
stantiated, or mailed by Gov. Brown
low; and we call upon him now to speak
out upon the subject at once.
This is the sum of the most important
testimony elected to convict the Presi-
dent of high crimes and misdemeanors
A most lame and impotent conclusion;
and, if used as a pretext for actual i'm
parchment, will sink the impeachers so
low in the scale of infamy before the
world that they should receive the scorn
of mankind in all countries and through
every age.

Explosion OF Glyeerine-Chase and
the Trial of MIR. Davis.

New YORK, Nov. 26.-Last evening, at
Bergin, New York, quantity of glycerine,
used for blasting, exploded while in the
hands of q workman who was heating it.
In an instant all the inmates of the build
ing were blown away, and of the house not
fragment remained Some of the men
around the shop shared the same fate,
while, at the same instant, a shock like an
earthquake shook every building within a
mile and half of the scene. Every house
adjacent was damaged.
The Herald's Washington special says
/ am reliably informed that Chief Justice
Chase is opposed to JEFF. Davis being tried
before Judge Underwood or by negro
jury. The government is not ready to pro-
coed with the trial.
The Edmdnds resolution will pass the
Senate, but the House will kill it in COM
mittee This is the resolution paying
520s in gold.

GABLE DISPATCHES.

Conference for the Settlement Of the
Roman Quesfion-IIlness Of Carl
baIdi.
PARIS, Nov. 25-Evening.-The En-
perors Of Russia and Austria have formally
signifed their intention Of participating in
the proposed conference for the settlement
of the Roman question, as suggested By
Napoleon, as has also nearly all the smaller
powers Of Europe. The course that Prus-
STA may pursue in the matter is not off
eially known, but il is believed she will
send representatives.
The note recently sent from Great Bri-
tain on the subject, is accepted here as a
mere formal objection. The Pope is known
to oppose in advance any action of the con-
ference which includes the rights he now
enjoys, and particularly any plan divesting
him of his temporial power
LONDON, Nov. 25-Even'g Dispatches
have been received which state that the i'll
ness Of Gen. Garibaldi was caused By harsh
treatment in the Italian prison, by officials
who took that course with view of driy-
ing him to the United States or out of the
country.
