Law OF Impeachment.

As matter OF special information
at this crisis we present, without note
or comment, the text of the law of
impeachment as it is found in the
Constitution Of the United States. It
will be seen that Chief Justice CHASE
will preside at the trial. This pro-
vision was made in view of the mani
fest improperly of committing to the
Vice President, himself in the line of
succession, the conduct of a proceed
ing which might result in making
him President; and more, the Speaker
of the Senate need not necessarily be
lawyer-the Chief Justice always
must be.
ARTICLE |. SEC. 2. The House of
Representative shall choose their
Speaker and other officers, and shall
haze The sole 0ol0er Of impeachment.
ARTICLE [. SEC. 3. The Senate shall
have the sole power to try all i'm
peachments. When sitting for that
purpose they shallhe on oath or af-
firmation. When the President of
the United States is tried, the Chief

GOVERNOR BAKER has pardoned Howard
Stretcher, sentenced to Two years Pent-
Tertiary service. for killing James Stew
ard the night the President was at In
dianapolis.
The above paragraph we clip from
the Nashville Union and Dispatch of
the LIST inst. Well done Governor
Baker. Your clemency has secured
for you one vote at all events. 1t is
the prerogative of men elevated to
the Executive Chair of the State to
extend the pardoning power to con-
vlcts In the State prison, but, at the
same time, we doubt the expediency
of turning loose a man In society
whose hands are red with the blood
Of his fell0w-man, and whose punish
ment was. by no means, commensu-
rate with his offense. Such punish
ment and such Executive clemency
are tantamount to a premium for
crime. We would not wonder-but
we will not express any decided opin-
ion on this point-that the murderer,
Howard Stretcher, is rank on the
Radical base of operations: Sound
on the goose, has been the
passport during the few past
years of eommiseration. consul

bub was great, beyond compare, when
President johnson extended the par
doning prerogative to Southern men,
(rebels if you piease) who had expa-
triattd themselves TO escape Radical
vengeance, whose crime was instigated
by desire to preserve a certain spe-
cies of property much coveted by the
Radicals of the North. But when a
man who takes the life of another on
the occasion of the reception of the
same President johnson is tried, con-
victed and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for the term of two years, Gov.
Baker pardons him out Again we
say, well done, Governor Baker
EUGRsUilte Courier.
1t is sufficient answer to the con-
temptible attempt to make political
capital against Governor BAKER, to
state that JAMES STEWART, the man
who was murdered, was an enthusi-
astie Republican. HOWARD STRETCH
ER, the murderer, and now pardoned
convict, is a Copperhead of the most
venomous character The Courier
makes itself ridiculous.
