Edwin Nj. Stanton from the War Department with
full notice that the Senate was nfexibly opposed to
his removal, had acted in fragrant violation of the
law. The House having united in that conclusion
and tbcreupon impeached the culprit the question
naturally rises TO every lip " How can those who
voted him guilty in February vote him innocent in
May Did they not understand the law which they
themselves had passed Were they mistaken as 70
the facts And, if they we're mistaken with regard
neither 20 The law the facts, how can il be even

from certain Senators 10 Mr. johnson, seeking for
appointments, SC, which he now holds u, tclT0rcDs
over the heads Of the writer's threatening 10 publish
the documents if those writers respectively should
vote him guilty. We cannot believe that there is
enough in this TO shake single Republican Sena-

There remains just one resource-bribery

the rate Of at least one million per week can we'll
afford 20 pay ten millions 60 keep Andrew Johnson
where be is and thus secure impunity in their ne
iarioas but lucrative craft for the next ten months
Their net profit on the investment would be nearly
thirty millions, beside the pardons by which they
and their kinsmen the counterfeiters of national
currency, have already so largely profted. We
cannot doubt that these two classes of earnest john
sonbes Nouiu raise the money IL tneY we're sure mat
1t would serve their turn Hence, We are not sur
prised to find printed conspicaously in The Wortd

NO FENIAN UNION YET,
and very little prospect that there will be- lou nave
doubt the nterminabe series of letters which passed
between Mr.. John Savage the part and commIt1ee
of the Roberts Senate the other part You have also seen
that the high contracting parties agreed on certain oasis OF
union You will by this weeks journals that Mr.
Savages Council interpret this basis one way while the
Senate insist a different Interpretation Mr. Roberts
agreed that Mr. Savage Interpretation the correct one
whereupon his Senate compelled him resign instaner and
elected in his place General John ONe of Fort Rdgeway
fame brave and patriotic but very young man, who has
political knowledge of his own, and therefore, be
easily used by the cunning rcksers of the Senate for
disunon purposes Poor Roberts himself confesse to have
had his eyes opened last the patriotism OF his aso-
cates said in state of utter ruin, and himself bank
rupt. Sic transit gloria!
AS there hope that the two parties agree as to the
Interpretation of the basis of union Mr. Savage pro-
posed that they should submit the matter for arbitration to
three be selected by him. by the Senate and
the third chosen by the other It has taken the Senate
five days consider this very simple proposition and may
take fifty for they have not yet condescended to render
reply. .c..,.
The Circles throughout the country under the impression
that union had really been effected by the leaders IN New
York united themselves Moreover they mean to keep
united IT the present rival leaders do not come to an
agreement mighty soon the Circles will at assemble In
convention and select government for themselves But
let things take whatever they may the local Circles Will
not split up again.
We are certain that the of the above is false 1t is
