ESTATE or THE LATE PRESIDENT
LINCoLN,-Judge David Davis, admin
istrator upon the estate of Abraham
Lincoln, deceased, has made final set
tlement of the estate, in. the Probate
Court of Sangamon county, Illinois.
From the balance sheet it appears
that, after paying all debts, there re-
mains the sum of sl10, 295 81 to be divi-
ded among the three heirs, Mrs. Lin
coin, Bob and Tad-each of whom re-
ceiyes s3G,7G5 80.
1t also appears from the schedule that
the private debts of Mrs. Lincoln
amount to $3s 81, which, subtracted
from her share of the estate, leaves $780,
1899.
Congress voted to Mrs. Lincoln the
remainder Of Abraham Lincoln's salary
for one year, say 100000, and made her
gift of $4,000 besides. So that the
total amount Of Mrs. Lincoln's personal
fortune mot including the $40, 900 worth
Of gifts from her dear friends" is only
ssl ,72G 80.

CONGRESS must feel relieved in the
fact that thus far the Maryland militia
have made no hostile demonstrations
against it. A couple of months ago the
Washington Chronicle had positive and
particular news that the militia which
Governor Swami was actively organiz-
ing were in reality to be used for re-
bellious purpose. They were, at given
signal, to march on Washington, dis
perse Congress, and seize the reins of
Government, with the connivance of
President Johnson. So alarming was
the intelligence that Governor Geary,
of Pennsylvania, announced his rcadi-
ness to march hundred thousand
Pennsylvania soldiers against the Mary
land Militia at days notice, and it
would then be easy work to drive the
enemy from Washington, and utterly
discomtit Johnson and all his schemes.
AS, however, there is no sign of the APP
pearance of the Maryland militia, with
their six brass guns, we suppose Con-
Srcss and the country must be consider
ed safe for some time longer. II might
be Il wise precaution, however, for Con-
sress to appoint an Invcs tigating Com

IMPEACHMENT.

AFTER months Of Incubation the Ju-
dietary Committee of the House of Rep
resentatives have hatched articles of inn
peachment against the President for
"high crimes and misdemeanors." At
the July session the same Committee ar
rived at n contrary conclusion, and as
\he charges are not based on anything
ne President has done since then, it is n
query In our mind as to what influences
were brought to bear on Mr.. Churchill,
SOFAS to make the minority majority in
favor of impeachment. Tho Commit
TIE consists of nine members, four of
hom have been impeachers from the
beginning. Mr.. Churchill's sudden
conversion gives them amajority of one.
The remainder of the Committee,
Messrs. Wilson and Woodbridge, Re-
publicans, and Messrs. Marshall and Ed
ridge, Democrats, not only report
against Impeachment, but state that the
most of the evidence would not be re-
ceived in court of justice.
Wo much doubt whether the House
can secure majority for impeachment;
or even II they should, the scheme
would bc almost certain to fail in the
Senate.
Viewed rs party question, we can
not have much objection to the impeach-
met of Andrew johnson, because rad
ical measure of this kind will be sure
to drive all conservative men into our
ranks, and beyond n doubt would give
us the next President and Congress.
As the object of impeachment would be
merely to gain power, the result would
be to unsettle business, derange our fl
nances, still further excite the minds of
men, retard reconstruction, and proba.
bly, embroil the country in another civil
war.
We warn the Radicals not to es,ab-
lsh the precedent that man can be re-
moved from Office merely because of
difference of opinion--an honest differ
ence--as to the duties of his Office. 1t
Is an element which, II once introduc-
ed into our politics, can and will be
welded by any party which may be in
power for the purpose of removing an
adversary, until, finally, our country
will become second Mexico-the mere
sport of contending parties.
As to the suspension of the President
during trial on impeachment, no per-
son of reputation claims such power.
The Constitution says expressly, 1.-The
President, Vice President, and all civil
officers OF the United States, shall be re-
moved from Office on impeachment for,
and conciction Of, treason, bribery, or
other high crimes and misdemeanors."
This is conclusive, and no patty can
evade or violate it; and if they attempt
the Use of force in the performance of an
unconstitutional act, they should be met
6y force.

THE Radicals have districted Penn
sylvanis SO that with majority of the
popular vote, the Democrats have con-
siderably less than the representation
in Congress to which they are entitled.
In Ohio where we nearly equal them,
the same state of things exists; and in
New York where we have fifty thous-
and popular majority, the radical ger
rymandering is so outrageous that Il
large majority in the Congressional
Delegation is against us.
1t has never heretofore been ques-
toned that the business of districting
the State for members of Congress be-
longed to the Legislature Of the State ;
but now, when the people have resumed
power, the radicals in Congress propose
10 take that power from the States and
assume 1t themselves. Just think of
1t Massachusetts and Rhode Island
assist to district Pennsylvania, New
York and Ohio, without warrant or au-
thority anywhere for the act.
Does any body defend the outrage?
p, John does.
