The Gold barometer.

In speaking of the condition of the
country, the moderate Republican New
York Times regards the fact that the
price OF gold remains so steadily at or
near lao as indicative of confidence that
the present trial at Washington will have
at least peaceful result, whether in the
acquittal or conviction Of the President.
We extract as follows:
This absence of excitement is less the
result of indifference than of an abiding
faith in the integrity of the Senate and
the ability of the Government to over
come more serious difficulties than any
with which it is threatened. In some
quarters, perhaps, there is an unwilling
ness to believe that Mr.. johnson will be
convicted and removed. 1t is thought
in these instances that the prosecution
will fail, and that Mr.. johnson will be
allowed to serve out his term. This
seems to be the exceptional opinion,
however, and has much less to do with the
prevailing calmness and confidence than
the reliance which prevails both as to the
comparative moderation of the Senate
and the absolute ability of the
Government to endure all trials.
The people have not lost con-
fdence in the sufficieucy of the
Constitution for all the purposes of gov
ernment, or in the rectitude of the Senate
as court organized for the performance
Of solemn judicial duty. They feel thai
the ferceness Of the partisan conflict viii
be expended in the House, and that wher
the case reaches the Senate, it will b
proceeded, with according to the law anC
the testimony. Beyond this, the people
care little. For Mr.. johnson, PERSONAL,
or politically, they are not solicitors
All they ask is, that the Office he ell
shall be respected, and that proceeding
affecting its occupant shall be conducte,
impsrtially, temporarily and with tn
decorum pertaining to a court of justice

preston to their views upon the legality
of the imprisonment Of both the editors
of the Avalanche The safety Of the

to and reverence for law, and the moral
weight of the profession as q body is
worth great deal in condition Of
things like tho present If the Judge Of

acting within the bounds of his legal
duty, he should be sustained by the
moral weight of the profession, and IT
not, am sure he will hardly disregard
their admonitions. This Interpolation is
proper in the class of cases to be, con-

Daniel Webster, in his speech in the
Senate on February l6, 1885, expressed
his opinion as follows:
The bill, it is to be observed, ex.
pressly recognizes and admits the actual
existence of the power of removal. l do
not mean to deny, and the bill does not
deny, that at the present moment the
President may remove these officers at
will, because the early decisions adopted
that construction, and the laws have
since uniformly sanctioned it. The law
Of 1920, intended to be repealed by this
bill, expressly affirms this power /
considered it, therefore, settled point
settled by Constitution, settled by Presi-
dent, settled by the practice of the Gov
eminent, and settled by statute"
Again, in the same speech, he says I:
81 have gone into these details and par
ticulars, sir, for the purpose of showing
that not only in the nature of things, but
also according to the practice of the
Government, the power of removal is in
cident to the power of appointment 1t
belongs to it; forms part Of it, and re-
suits from il"
He also says: 1.-THE power of putting
one man in Once necessarily implies the
power of turning another out. IL one
man be Secretary Of State, aud another be
appointed, the first goes out by mere force
Of the appointment Of the other, without
any previous act Of removal whatever.
Aud this is the practice of the Gov
eminent, and has been from the first
