THE IMPEACHMENT QUEsTIoN.-ln
the House on Friday, Judge Woodward,
made a remarkable speech on the sub
ject of impeachment, during which h,
indorsed Mr.. Boutwell's position thai
the President was amenable to impeach-
ment, even if he is gui!tless of crimes
which would render him liable to in
dictment under the statute. His maih
point WAS an argument that, inasmuch
rs the laws of the United States do not
take cosnizince of criminal matters ex-
cept in cases of counterfeiting Govern
ment money, and that idiocy, imbe-
cility and other CAUSES for removal
which cannot be classed high crimes
and misdemeanor5, are not mentioned,
the trainers of the Constitution did not il
tend that ii should be necessary to fine
any civil officers guilty otcrimcs know
to the statute law before impedchine
him. The speech was carefully prepar
ed, and was read in Committee of tn,
Whole while many of the members.
were absent, but the few who We're pres
ent crowded the ai-les in the vicinity o.
Judge Woodward and listened to him
eagerly.

OF immense value tQ US M a nation, and
we have no doubt that all the West In

pleasanter than fighting for them. True,
the price must be paid in gold, but as in

HOW THEY MANAGE.

THE Tribune of Saturday denies that
Mr.. Greeley has declared that the course
pursued by the Radical partisans in the
Southern States, as evempliiicd In the
action Of the Alabama Convention, is
calculated "to bring odlum upon the
Republican party" so much the worse
for the gentleman in question. We ask
his attention and that of his party
friends to certain iac,s which are trans
mitted to us by highly respectable
citizen of Marion Court House, South
Carolina. At the late election in that
State for delegates to State Convention,
| the Radicals issued u number Of ballots,
of which one lies before us. Very ap-
propriately, In view of the events OF
the last six and n half years, 1t Is prin-
ted in rec, and is di>hgured by picture
lin the same color of the late lamented
Lincoln. Under the picture are the
names of four candidates for delegates
to the Convention which, out of respect
to our readers, we refrain from printing.
Two ofthem are those of negroes una
bic to read; a third Is that Of negro
who we trust can read as our friend il
silent on the subject. The fourth name is
that ofa white man who is now under in
dictment for cow stealing, and is to be
tried therefor next March.
Ifthese are fair representatives of the
Radical candidates for delegates to the
Southern State Conventions, land from
the letters of our correspondents in Nir-
gnia, Alabama, and Louisiana, W,
Judge that they are) it becomes a ser.
ious question forthe people ofthe whole
country whether such conduct on til,
part of the party in power is to he toler'
ated. In respect to South Carolina
particularly, n grave suspicion arise,
" neither In that State there has not been
foul dealing. All the early reports o
the late election there concurred In tn,
statement that the majority of votes cas-,
were against holding II Convention, bui
a few days later it was given out from
Washington that it was thought thai
after all, the Convention project hao
not l,een defeated, and next despatch,'
from South Carolina began to re-ech'
this opinion Like the disappearance,
of cats and dogs in the VICINITY ola sau
sage factory, this may not prove any
thing, but it Is very suspicious, to say
the least.--N. y. World.
