The Presidents Line of Defence.

The Presidents Line of Defence.
A New York letter to the Charleston
Cosuisr says: ait is well known among
certain GLASS of men that Mr.. JOHNSON,
during more than year past. has carefully
collected all the speeches, and even parts
of speeches, made by Republican and DEM
ocratic Senators in reference to the i'm
peachment question. For that purpose q
corps of the very best stenographers have
been constantly on the wing, following in
the track of the itinerant Senators, and
parently for publication in a leading New
York jonrnal, but really to serve as pow
erfnl weapon in the hands of the Presi-
dent whenever the opportune moment shall
have arrived. 1t is, Understand, the in
tention of Mr.. JoHNsoN, in the event of ar
ticles of impeachment being sent to the
Senate, to boldly declare that he will not
be tried by Senator'S who have de-
clared themselves either in favor of
or against his impeachment. He
takes the ground that the meanest
criminal in the country, even when tried
upon a charge of petty larceny, has the
right to-, challenge his jurors. And he
claims, with good deal of sound reason-
ing, thatlin an nfall-important matter like
this, it is simply due to justice that his
judges should not be men who have pre-
judged his case. i In fine, that he will not
be tried by judges who hold him guilty
even before the trial has commented. The
moment matters are approaching this crisis,
the stenographers who, during the past
year, have been taking down the Senato-
rial speeches, directly or indirectly allud-
ing to Impeachment, will be summoned to
Washington, and be called upon to swear
to the correctness of their reports now in
the Presidents possession. Among the
judges, against whom special exception
willbe taken by Mr.. J Johnson are Senators
HOWARD, THAYER, NYE, SUMNER, WADE
and CHANDLER" .5-,f. ..-,i
That these, and other Senators, who are
to sit inIjudgment upon the President, in
the not impossible event of his being inn
peaehed, have incapacitated themselves
from acting as jurors, by prejudging+ the
case, is a fact disgraceful to the men,
whose anxiety for power is overriding
their judgment. 4 ar .si.r 4
For man arraigned to be tried by such
men would be the merest mockery of JUS
tice, and, although we know not whether
the above statement of the course Presi-
dent JOHNSON intends to pursue. be well
founded or not, it is a course that justice
and fair dealing demand should be pur-
sued. ff-r, f., i.a--.if7d rri1tf-s fs, 40 fo,i

ContemptibIe ,rrickery.

One JOHN GYzER, of Lancaster, Pa, has
written to Thaddeus Stevens to know
.'swhat effect the Presidents policy of re-
construction would have upon our national
securities % To this Thaddeus replies, un-
der date of Sept, 81, 1866, as follows:
I am OF opinion that its effect would be
very injurious. 4iii ss-f fi + 10
The President contends that the body of
men acting as Congress has no 7constitu-
tional powers, and can 10 no valid acts lin
the absence of the excluded States. The
Congresses that Unauthorized the war debt and
laid the internal duties to pay it were COM
posed of precisely the same number of rep-
resentatiVes, from the same States as the
present.. Ii it should be decided that, those
Congresses had no constitutionalexisten

ties, and the legal-tenderJ greenbacks will
have been issued without authority, and
will be worthless, aat ri .0"BHrEffi otG
Whether they would ever be redeemed
would depend on What the President would
consider constitutional Congress, after the
admission of the rebel representatives,
when the condition of the debts of both
belligerents would be considered. % u b
5g I ours, truly, is THADDEUs STEVENS.
The Congress that authorized the debt
was not full one, because a number of
States refusedCto send either Senators or
Representatives. This refusal could not
initiate against the constitutionality of
the body. THE present Congress refuses
in open violation of the Constitution, to ad@
NIT the Representatives from ten States, to
their seats upon the floor of Congress, and
it refuses to admit the twenty Senators,
which the States of Georgia, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Texas. Alabama, Ar
kansas, Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee and
Virginia are entitled to. States have Alright
to refuse to send Senators or Represent
atives, or both, but when sent, Congress
has no right to refuse the members
their seats. Mr.. STEVENS in endeavoring
to infiame the public mind with the idea
that because there were no Senators or
Representatives in Congress from the Sc
ceding States at the time the debt was con-
tracted, therefore the bonds were, in the
opinion of those who hold the present, so
called Congress, an Illegal body, null and
void, is guilty of the lowest meanness and
most contemplate of trickery to frfghten
the bondholders into the support of meas
ures tending to keep the Union dissev-
cred, in order to perpetuate power in the
hands of Radicalism. 9er .-1rui

Business il Excellent on the levee,
aad freights are plenty. The almost
impossible condition of that part of
Water Street most used by drays, and
for shipping purposes, renders access
to the wharf boats extremely difficult,
and there is little prospect of it being
better for while yet to come. The
receding waters will certainly leave
the wharf in most horrid condition.
1.-THE Evansville and Caro- Compa-
ny's splendid new packet, Mayfower,
left Cincinnati for this port and Mem
phis on Thursday evening, with big
trip of freight and people, and will be
here early to-day, accompanied by the
famous Crescent City Silver Band.
She will be here several hours to af-
ford all our citizens who desire it
an opportunity to visit and inspect
her, and will leave this evening for
Cairo and Memphis. She is pro-
nounced by all steamboat men a mod
Ell steamboat. She will receive a
hearty and warm welcome from our
people. One item of the Mayfower's
cargo is lot of 125 tierces of pork for
Columbus, shipped by Capt. Dick
Fower, who put the first freight ON the
new packet.
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1867-03-02

MayhoWer will leave at D O'Clock to-
day for Memphis and all way ports,
offering unequalled inducements to
travellers and shippers for the South.
She is unquestionably one of the most
beautiful and complete passenger
steamers of her class ever built, COM
bining speed, comfort, and safety.
She is commanded by that prince of
steamboatmen, Capt. Josh v. Throop,
whose urbanity and fine social quail
ties render him especially popular
with travellers and shippers. Her
clerks are those experienced, courte-
Gus, and popular gentlemen, Billy Dunn
and Geo. Throop. Capt. A. Tucker,
veteran of great experience, has
command of the forecastle. Bill Nc
Clurg, the unrivalled engineer, has
charge of her engines, aided by expe-
rienced and competent assistants;
what Billy don't know of engines is
not worth learning. He is superior
to all patent lock- safety valves. Dan:
Weaver, of Evansville, careful and
experienced pilot, stands at her wheel,
and will find for her a safe channel.
Gen. George jackson, the famous
steward, has charge of the commissary
department, and provides for his
guests with no niggard hand. Her ia
bles groan with richness. All her ap-
pointments are first class. Her state
rooms are spacious, light, and well
ventilated, with soft new mattresses
and bedding. She will go through
with despatch, and we can with great
confidence recommend her to travel
ers and shippers.
For MEMPHIS ON MoNDAY-The
excellent steamer Silver Moon, Capt
Ben. Mirrielles, is the regular Gin,
cinnati and Memphis packet at {
o'clock Monday morning, and has SUI
perior passenger and freight capaci-
ties. Capt. Mirrielles is thorough
steamboatman, and his clerk is &
pleasant gentleman. We commend
her to passengers and shippers.
