TuE OHIO IMPEACHRR.

'Hs that is without sin among you, let him cast
the hrst stone"
On Monday Mr.. Ashley, Of Ohio, arose in
his place in the House Of Representatives
and charged The President with high crimes
and misdemeanors, and asked that he be i'm
peached. 1t was painful duty" and he
he had, during the recess Of Congress, be-
sought various members Of the House to
perform il. We suppose he sought to find
one who could meet the requirement we have
quoted at the beginning Of this article. We
presume that that which rendered the duty
SO painful to him was the fact, well known to
the House and to all who have read the rec
ords Of the Thirty Seventh Congress, that he
could not meet that requirement which our
Saviour demanded Of those who would take
the reputation and life Of fellow-being.
One hour before Mr.. ASHLEY made his
stage attempt at impeachment-clumsily
confessing in the very act that he could find
no respectable member to do tive had
made an inquiry Of one Of the most radical
Of the Republican members Of the House
respecting the impeachment. he replied
that the proposition was utterly foolish and
impracticable, and added, "If it were to be
done, is Mr.. Ashley the man to lead in it
Pahp We know what produced his feeling
Of disgust OF the thought Of ASHLEY as an
accuser; for we had read the record, when it
was made by 4 committee OF the House,
proving the Hon. j. NJ ASHLEY guilty OF
official conduct that ought to have disgraeed
him in the eyes Of his constituency forever.
This record is to be found in Report No. A,
of the Sd session Of the 37th Congress-the
report Of q select committee made in Feb.
20, 1862 by Hon. ii. G. BLAKE, chairman.
1t appears from this document, which is
quite voluminous, that Mr.. ASHLEY was only
saved from impeachment by flaw in the
indictment. He was charged with corrupt
official conduct in procuring the appoint
ment Of F. M. CASE as Surveyor General Of
the Territory of Colorado for consideration
previously made"
The letters OF ASHLEY and others produced
before the committee, and the testimony Of
witnesses, printed in their report, develop as
much corruption as large-sized Congress-
mans skin could hold; but the committee
came to the conclusion that 1.-The considera-
ton" was not exactly proven to have been
previously agreed upon" and therefore the
charge was dropped. This was during the
rebellion, and at that time Mr.. ASHLEY was
very jealous in the cause Of the war ito pre-
serve the Union" He managed, under those
circumstances, to get reelection.
We have not the space today to give that
amount Of the testimony bearing upon the
case which ought to be republiShed in view
Of the action Of the great impeacher.
Among the letters which appear in the
committees printed report 10 one from ASH
LET to CASH, dated Feb. I'd, 1861, In which

One Of our Radical friends was present in
the Supreme Court yesterday during the ar
gument Of an important case, in which Gen.
BUTLER and other eminent lawyers were Of
counsel, and he says that while he sat there
lin that good old room where the atmosphere
itself is redolent Of constitutional law) he
thought how absurd it is in this progressive
age, when Congress holds oil the power Of
the Government, to waste SO much study
and learning upon the played out" notions
Of such old fogies as MARSHALL, STORY, ETC.
And our Radical friend says that unless the
decisions Of the Supreme Court can be pre-
revised by the caucus Of the dominant party
in the House Of Representatives where the
will Of the people is manifested) the cum
brous old court machine should be swept
away, and the ponderous volumes Of the law
library be ground over and reconstructed
into paper to be used in printing the Morn
tnq Bdrndcle.

On the eve Of the adjournment Of the Ala

tion OF the constitutional amendment, fred
Of q piece Of his mind right into the crowd.

at the ceiling. go ..rI II, 49, =,
Judge B. felt annoyed by the joke, and
wrote lengthy communication denying the
story, The Nail prints the Judges COM
munication, but rejoins to II in an editorial.
from which we clip the following;
"You have not only had two sets Of opin-
ions as to the political status Of the South,
but all the corks shot at ceilings, and all the
poetry shot at grand juries, cannot persuade
the people that you did not endorse the Pres
idents policy twelve months ago, and that
you do heartily endorse the Congressional
policy now"

Here Is an Immaculate impeacher We
wouldn't allow him to impeach the hateful
tom-cat that makes night hideous in our back
yard. He charge the Chief Magistrate, or
any other officer, with corruptly abusing

or restoring property to insurgents, or inter-
fering with electionsi" Perhaps he was .
"full partner" with some speculator in gold,

ing that when the great AsHLxY impeacb-
ment was "tbroun upon the market" gold
