know, Of tho constitutionality of the bin

know, of the constitutionality Of the bill
it adopts"
"There is limit to such an assumpt;on
as that" replied the President. Accord
ing to 1t, Congress might pass series of
laws more grossly unconstitutional than
this one we have been discussing, and the
President have no yea nor nay in the mat
ter. Let us remember betimes that the
President himself is sworn to protect and
defend the Constitution. Suppose Con-
gress should pass bill abolshing the veto
power; suppose Congress should pass a
bill abolishing the Presidents power to
make any civil appointment; suppose
Congress should pass bill depriving the
President Of the commandership-in- chief
of the army suppose it should pass
dozen bills of this character-would the
President be oonstitutionally bound to
execute them as laws' Would it not be
his duty, as in the present instance, to seek
an immediate judgment in the Supreme
Court upon such palpable violations of the
Constitution and the genius Of the Govern
ment?"
"It must be admitted, sir, that that is
suggestive way Of putting the question"
"Well, then, let us proceed to other
considerations. The President is i'm
peached of 'high crime and misdemeanor'
in removing Mr.. Stanton. Besides the
impossibility, as ! believe, of showing that
the President acted outside his vested
powers in making that removal, there is
another difficulty. If it could, by any
twisting Of logic, be shown that be has
acted outside those powers, wrong mo-
tive in 80 doing must be proved against
him."
And so on. We omit the Presidents
argument. It will not save him.

Baker seems determined to have his own
way in spite of the courts. Yesterday the
registration Office in the Sixth Ward was
closed and the supervisors said that they
would not open until orders to that effect
should be received from Baker. Here is
clear case of contempt-at least of construct
i've contempt-of the courts. These decide
that certain persons, heretofore rejected,
must be registered, and the officials, in order
to avoid compliance, close their offices. But
this outrage is even greater than the first In
the first case the attempt is made to deprive a
few citizens of their rights in the other the
effort is to destroy the rights Of all. Now
legal processes will reach these recusant
officials, and we hope that there will be no
delay in resorting to such measures. Let a
mandamus lie got out at once to compel them
to discharge their duties, and then let us see
whether or not they will persist in their
course.

The CONGRESSIONAL EXCURSION. We
received as late as yesterday a copy of cir
cular letter addressed to the authorities Of
this city, as far back as September 30th, by
the committee at Cincinnati which is charged
with the management of the Congressional
Excursion" from Pittsburg to New Orleans
and thence to St Louis. The origin and the
object of this excursion, which is to include,
besides congressman, the President and his
cabinet, members of the press, and represen-
tatives from the cities on the Mississippi and
Ohio rivers, are explained at length in the
letter referred to, and the text of which we
published on Wednesday morning. The coun-
Gil of Cincinnati has appropriated, as we are
informed by the committee, $40, 900 towards
defraying the expenses of the project, and the
council of this city are asked to contribute an
equal sum. In view of the deep interest of
New Orleans in whatever aims at increas-
ing the facilities for a cheap, safe and rapid
water transit from the great West to the ocean,
nothing less than a cordial and practical
response on the part of our city authorities
may be expected.

THE EcUMENIcAL CoUNcrL.-The Roman cor
respondent of the Pail Mall Gazette says: {" We
learn that the five committees appointed to pre-
pare the propositions to be debated by the ecu
mepical council are progressing more rapidly
with their work than was expected. This has not
been done without taking council with French,
Italian and German theoogians, and in the course
of October or November the report OF the fathers
will be submitted by the pope to an international
committee, composed OF prelates of those nations,
as well as of England. Spain, Portugal, Holland.
Belgium and Poland. Finally. the amended and
elaborated propositions will be examined by a
committee of cardinals. which will give them the
shape in which they are to come before the coun-
Gil. The list includes the following important
subjects: l. The policy of uniting the Catholic
ana Greek schismstic churches. 2. The regula.
ton Of the relations between the church and state
in view Of the almost universal transformation OF
absolute into constitutional governments 3. The
position Of the Catholic clergy in general and par
tculsrly of religious communities of women, in
presence Of the revolution which desolates the
Italian peninsula. A. The best mode Of providing
religions instruction as q barrier against the
atheism Of the day. so destructive to faith and
