The Impeachmcnt.of President John.

Correspondence If the Baltimore Gazette.
WAsHIxGToS, January %, lS67.-That
il is the firm purpose of the deStruC-
tivcS in Congress to drag Andrew Johnson
from the Executive chair, can no longer be
doubted by sensible men. The Govern
ment cannot be otherwise overthrown-ex-
Cept through this means the Supreme
Court cannot he reached-neither can the
existing State governments al the South be
in any other way substituted by satrapes
appointed 10y Congress. To enable the re-
volutionistS to accomplish their ends, such
n Increment is indispensable. The impeach-
meut aud trial, is is plainly indicated, Will
be the meTeSt mockery. | believe it was
Legendre, who in reply to question as 10

that the bloody work marked out by the

without the aid of the latter, cooly told
his questioner that he had answered his
own interrogatory. at is a NATTER" said
he, "with which neither law nor justice
has anything 10 do. 1t is purely political
question of State necessity"
Although this is precisely the case with
the impending impeachment, the managers,
learn, will not dispense with their accus-
toned jugglery. The plan is, through the
Judiciary Committee, TO collect from wit
neSses of the type OF Conover a mass OF ca
lumnies against the President, and spread
them broadcast over the country In re-
port to be drawn up by Boutwell, after the
fashion of his infamous array Of falsehoods
and distorted facts in the case OF DAVIS
This is 10 prepare the way by operating
upon the credulity Of the public for the
advent of Butler on the 5th of March, who
will predicate his promised articles of i'm
parchment upon the evidence thus elected

the accessions TO the destructive element
By the late changes in members Of the Sc
nate, and from the reinforcement OF four
additional senator's Of the right stripe from
Nebraska and Colorado, that that body
will then be in a proper condition TO pro-
coed 10 the trial and fully prepared
promptly TO render the required judgment.
From what is daily TRANSPORTING no one
need doubt that the case Is already pre-
Judged. The speech of Sumner last week
affords positive proof of this, and the sub
dued tone of those who eSSayed TO answer
lin gives melancholy evidence of timidi-
tywholly unsuited to the momentous stake
at issue. Indeed, the President is truly
unfortunate in his defenders at this great
crisis. Instead of manfully repelling the
aggressions of bad men who openly avow
revolutionary purposes, and thus carrying
"the war into Africa" its legitimate thea
ire, gentlemen seem contented to palate
acts which not only need no defence, but
for which the President will finally receive
the undying gratitude OF every lover OF
Constitutional law and public liberty.

GRAND On Polittcal oue,tior..

Grant On POLITICAL Queet10ns.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
writes 40 follows from Louisville, KY,
January Il:
l have had long and unreserved con.
versation with the Arkansas delegation,
direct from Washington, where they went
70 confer In regard to the admission OF the
State. The committee consisted OF Gene
raj Grant, John K. Fell, and X. G. New
ton. They think the Impeachment scheme
will be wholly abandoned or defeated, and
say that Congressman are overwhelmed
with letters protesting against impeach-
mcnt. The committee found the Presi-
dent firm In the determination 10 see equal
Justice meted out In every State. The
delegation also met at the dinner table of
Secretary Seward. General Grant, who
vas very reticent on political matters,
frankly stating to them that he knew no.
thing Of political matters, and was wholly
ignorant Of the sophistries of politicians re-
garding the constitutional amendment.
The General declined to express any
opinion as to its justice, constitutionality,
or cxpediency: but he said he would like
for at least one southern State to
adopt ii as an experiment, to see
It their senators and represe ntatives would
be admitted to seats in Congress, at the
same time expressing the opinion that they
would I've admitted. lie also stated that at
the commencement of Congress he urged
upon prominent members if they intended
to make the adoption on the part of south
ern States Of the amendment the condition
precedent to readmission, they ought to
pass a resolution TO that effect, solemnly
pledging Congress to receive the senators
and representatives who were elected to that
body. If they did not take some such step
they could not expect southern people
10 take step that might be preliminary
to others that would lead them they knew
not where. On the negro suffrage ques-
tion he was more decided, stating that lie
believed that was question that should
be left wholly and entirely with the people
of the several States, that Congress, in his
opinion, had no right to interfere il that
matter, and emphatically declared if the
question came up in Illinois, and he were
there to vote, he would certainly vote
against it. But he said something to the
effect that if he were in one of the south
ern States he believed he would vote for
it, for he was satisfied he could march the
niggers up to the polls to vote them as he
pleased, and would thus be gaining instead
of losing political power. They called
upon Thad. Stevens, and say he insulted
them.

GAMING AFFAIR AT WhLARD's.-1es.
terday morning an editorial paragraph was
published in morning print relative tC
Executive appointments before the Senate
for confirmation, and an article from the
Detroit Post, edited by Car, Shurz, was
copied, having special reference 10 the APP
pointment OF the present Governor oi
Idaho, Hon. John NJ. Murphy, and assert.
ing that he had been found guilty of NAL
feasance in office in Oregon and afterwards
immigrated to Idaho To escape the conse-
quences. The Post also charged him with
receiving purloned money, the whole gist
of the article being condemnatory OF the
President on account of his action in ma.
king certain appointments.
Yesterday morning about ii o'clock, as
Hon. F. D. Holbrook, delegate from Idaho,
was passing through the rotunda at Will
lard's, he met Mr.. Cummings, lately re-
moved from some Office in that Territory
and having good reason to believe that the
article in question was caused to be made
public by him (Mr. Cummings), accused
him of being its author. Without ac-
knowledging or denying its authorship
Mr.. Cummings at once launched ont in an
ABUSIVE llrdue against tHc llSsiuSht, 40
serting his firm conviction that the article
relating to Governor Murphy was true, and
denouncing him in unmeaSured terms.
"You then mean to assert" said Mr.
Holbrook, "that the President appoints
thieves to office, do you "
eyes, sir; / mean to assert that in ap
pointing Murphy to the governorship he
appointed thief"
"Then take that" replied Mr.. Hol
brook, raising heavy cane and telling hin
at blow.
Mr.. Cummings quickly recovered nj:
equilibrium, and advancing in genuine r
r. style, "got in several summers on hi:
rivals mug, drawing the claret profusely.'
The bystanders, discovering at a glance
the situation, and that serious fstlcut
exchange would take place, separated the
combatants, and in a few minutes "qule,
reicned in Warsaw" Neither of the
principals were very severely punished
both coming out of the mill with but few
insignificant scratches.-National Repab
