SERIOUS QrESrIoSs.-The President is

This is the high crime.and miSdcmcanor

the Tenure-of Office law is no LAWS I'M
constitutional, and sought 10 obtain the
decision Of the Supreme Court upon it
The Radicals say that the law IS binding
upon him until pronounced void by the
Court Suppose says the Albany Irgns,
that Congress should pass law abolishing
the office of the President Of the United
States, commanding the President forth

act, nor attempt to do any act whatever

lation of this act he should be declared
guilty of a high crime, punishable BY fine

the act, and Congress Gas it usually does
with unconstitutional aets) passes it over
his veto Would that act be valid until
declared otherwise Would the Presi-
dent be bound To obey it, sworn, as he is,
to preserve and defend the Constitution
Would the President be bound to yacate
his office Would he be guilty of high
crime If he attempted to perform his Con-
stitutoual duties as president Could
Congress thus change the form of our
Government Is every Executive officer
bound to carry it out. unconstitutional as
it is ? or has every such officer right to

responsibility of a disobedicnce to the law

ton. Will some Republican statesman
or lawyer meet and answer it in plain,
manly way, OF else fairly admit the folly

TrEriELE Han SrorN.-Thc Potomac
section of our county was visited On "a
turdav evening last by one of the most
terrible and destructive hail storms that
We have ever had occasion TO record or
indeed that has ever appeared in our coun-
" within the recollection of cur oldest
citizens We have converSed with seyc-
ral gentlemen ofalvanccd age, who were
within the swath Of the storm, and they
informed us that nothing they have ever
witnessed in the way Of hail was compar-
able il quantity and dimension to that
Which fell on Saturday. 1t appears al
most Incredible, but We are assured that
pellets of fallen ice were discovered III
some localities two inches at least IN il
amctcr and that bushels Of hail might
have been ral,cd up within the compass
If few feet The Ie t.uction III window
rancs was immense, many parties lQosing
a many as fifty and some as high as eigh-
tv, hut the sadac>t effects Of the hail were
upon the growing wheat and fruit crops.
We have only information in regard to
particular ncighborhoods but we believe
We are within bounds when We say, that,
if the storm was of equal violence IN 9th
or Potomac sections as upon parts of Bri-
tons Bay, the loss in the fruit and wheat
crops Of the county will not fall much
short Of 500 900. Strange to say, the
storm does not appear to have reached the
Patuxcnt section at all, and We have no.
ticed in our immediate ncighborhood, that
whilo several large fields Of wheat on the
North side Of cur Bay escaped without
material injury, on the South and oppo-
site side, not mile apart, the destruction
was both general ard cor plctc.

next morning. A young woman of

She said apart: Judge, you told
me last night that if I were ever
brought before you, you would SEQ

The Judge stepped back, without
q moments hesitation, and uttered,
earnestly:
"Was he your uncle? Indeed, this
makes strange escape for one SO
young. "Gentlemen," said the Judge,

A Naughty Story.

A Rome correspondent of q Lon

story Of affairs Of the Church in the
"Holy City" one which, for the hon.

are most unwilling to credit:-Mon-
