THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS-
RADICAL VIEW.

The Pittsburg Gazette is as strongly
Radical as any paper in the country, and
it is the leading Journal of that party in
Western Pennsylvania In its issue of
the 9th inst the GaSstte announced that
the President would probably issue his
proclamation of amnesty that day, and
then proceeds to state the position of the
President and Congress as follows
The President holds that he derived the
pardoning power directly from the consti-
tuition, and that he cannot be limited or
restrained in the exercise thereof by
statutes. Congress has taken a different
view, for it has enacted that proclamation
of amnesty shall not restore the right Of
suffrage. There are certainly as able law
yers in Congress as the President or any of
his constitutional advisers. Yet we in
cline to the view that on this point they
are wrong and the President is right. The
President is not indebted to Congress for
the power TO remit penalties and forfeit
ures. He gets it from the constitution.
whence Congress gains its authority. If
we are right in so thinking, we have here
another instance of failure on the part of
Congress by stretching its powers to hold
the President in check, when itshould have
dealt with him directly by impeachment.
The President has played his game bold
" and with adroitness. Congress has
PLAYED its part with comparative feeble
ness So far the substantial advantages
are with the President. Months ago we
urged Congress to come to a conclusion re-
garding the impeachment business, by
either trying and deposing him if sufficient
fault could be found in him to justify such
extreme measures, or else by dropping the
whole matter. Congress saw what it ought
to do, but was totally deficient in the
decision and courage required by the
occasion. 1t contrived hedges about
the President which are no hedges, and
through which he breakes without even a
scratch. He easily went through the Of
fee tenure bill accomplished the removal
of Stanton, Sheridan and Sickles, and will
have little trouble in decapitating as many
more officials as shall suit his purposes.
He now means to force his way through
the statutes restricting his use of the par
doning power, and he will succeed in his
efforts,
