Impeachment.
The InteHiQencer, this morning, referring to
the proposed Impeachment of the Presidanf
says, ,"It is suggested by the radicals that what
ever of legal difficulties existed in the proposed
summary process, might be easily cured by an
act OF Congress OF ten lines, simply providine.

uonal punishment being the deprivation OF
office. This ingenious device, by which the
President is to be punished first and tried
afterwards, cannot be sufficiently admired, IL
not for its profundtty at least for its simplicity
and effectiveness. In respect to what the Presi-
dent would do If approached in either of these
directions, we have not thought 1t worth while
to consider, but naturally suppose that he
would not willingly submit to the degradation
OF the Executive office thus, however he
