CHI A r L ES T ON.
THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 26, 1858.
The Impeachment in a Nutshell.

The only legal question involved in the
impeachment of the President, is this Did
he or did he not have the right to doubt the
constitutionality of the Tenure Of Office
law, and to make case under it for the
decision of the courts? Stripped of all the
verbiage and sophistries which the inge-
nuity of the impeachment managers has
thrown around it, it amounts exactly to
that; and the New York Tribune, which is
at once the sblest and the most honest Of
the Radical papers, does not seek to dis
guise the fact. Indeed, in recent num-
Der, it distinctly admits it, and takes the
broad ground that no public officer he's q
right to question the constitutionality Of q
law of Congress.
If long experience of the vagaries Of
fanaticism had not prepared US for any con-
ceivable or inconceivable extravaganza, we
should be amazed that 30 able a journal as
the Tribune, should venture gravely to
enunciate 30 conspicuous an absurdity.
Will the Tribune inform US how the con-
stitutionality of q doubtful law is to be
tested unless case is made for the courts?
And who, except the President, can make
a case for the Tenure of Office law? Does
the President or any other public officer,
lose his rights as citizen when he accepts
office? Is he no longer competent to sue
and be sued, and to appeal to the courts for
the protection of his rights and the redress
of his wrongs?
Suppose Congress should lay tax which
was held by many to be unconstitutional
would not any private citizen have the right
to refuse to pay the tax, and thus make
case for the courts Would it be possible
to bring the case before the courts in any
other way! And would such citizen, 30
raising the question of the constitutionality
of the tax, be held to have committed
crime? Doubtless, if the court decided
against him, he would have to pay the pen
atty of his mistake; but the penalty could
not be enforced until the constitutional
question had been decided.
So, too, if Mr.. JOHNSON had been allowed
to raise the question before the courts, and
judgment had been given against him, the
Radicals might have had plausible pre-
text for impeaching him. And, but for
GRANTS treaohery, the constitutionality or
unconstitutionality Of the law would have
been settled before this, by the only tribu-
nal competent to decide the question. But
this was no part Of the Radical plan; they
were afraid to trust themselves and their
cause to an impartial and competent tri-
bunal. And hence it became logical ne
cessity for them to fall back upon the absurd
theory that public officer who thinks his
rights invaded, is guilty Of a high crime
and misdemesnor if he appeals to the courts
for the vindication of those rights.
The attempt to justify themselves at the
bar Of public opinion has forced the Radi-
Gals into many weak and absurd positions,
but into none so weak and so absurd as this.

THE NEED OF A FREEDMEN's b.
REAU.-We give the following article
from the Richmond Enquirer as illus
trating the Meet ofa Freedmen's Bureau
in the South. The incident is, we sup
pose, one of ten thousand similar ones,
of daily occurrence in that section:
a gentleman from one of the neigh
boring counties, who desired to obtain
a number of able-bodied negro laborers
for his plantation, visited Richmond
to procure them, having learned that
there. were hundreds of unemployed
blacks lounging idle about the city
The morning after his arrival he was
directed to one Of the localities where
large quantities of bread and soup are
daily distributed by the Freedmen's Bu-
reau. He found a ragged, hungry
horde, of nearly five hundred persons,
assembled to receive the usual supplies
offood. To his astonishment, these ap-
plicant5 for soup and bread were not
all women and children. He counted
one hundred and eight able-bodied
negro men, capable of performing ev-
cry variety of farm labor. There they
were with every conceivable variety of
vessel, waiting hours to be fed by the
Bureau. TO many of these hulking
idIers he offered the highest wages
paid to agricultural laborers, and abun-
dant rations of.good, wholesome food.
But they all refused to enter his service,
alleging among other reasons, that they
'rere fed By the Bureau, and did not
,oish By leaving Richmond to forfeit their
right to cote.
