luton.
Ii appeared from the late correspond
ence between the President and General
Grant, that the President had violated or
sought to violate the provisions Of the
tenure Of office bill, and consequently he il
guilty OF high crimes and mlsdemesnoFs,
Tor which he ought to be impeached by the
House. The resolution was discussed
with much spirit. The point Of debate
was, Shelter the President had violated
The bill by an effort 10 induce General
Grant to hold the War Department at the
disposal Of the President, after the Senate

THE SUSPENSION Project.

The New York Herald propounds one
of that sort of political theories for
which it is famous, to the effect that the
Grant correspondence was originated by
the Radical diplomatists for the purpose
Of drawing the President into another
impeachment quagmire The press and
thesensationists at Washington have, also
begun to speculate upon the possibility
Of another attempt at impeachment, and
the suspension Of Mr.. johnson under the
Edmunds bill. We do not participate
in the apprehen5ions expressed. The
Jacobins are desperate, and have become
so since the smashing of their new idol,
Grant, at the hands Of the President; but
theydo not dare to take the step suggested
IL they do they will assume frightful
responsibility Forcible measures to
prevent their usurpations have been with
held in Difference to proper regard for
the public peace, and in the expectation
that public sentiment would restrain
them; but the humiliation of the con-
stitutional Executive, and the substitu-
ton in its stead of a creature Of the Con-
gressional directory, will doubtless, pro-
woke resistance by the present incuin,
bent, and when it is made, the people
will take up the cause
Commenting on this subject, and dis
GUESSING the probability Of the President
yielding to suspension from Office, the
Louisville Courier of yesterday says
We do not believe that he will. If he
has the slightest particle of manhood in his
breast he will resist such barefaced villainy,
and teach the political desperadoes whe
nave tern down almost every barrier
erected by the trainers of the government
for the perpetuation of constitutional lib
ertv, that there is a point beyond which
their usurpations cannot 60, and that, al
though they have suCceeded in emascnla-
ting the executive Office of its most important
authority, the Office is vet beyond their
reach, and will remain SO until another
President il elected by the people. Such
resistance to Congressional usurpation, in
which there ia no doubt the President
would he warmly sustained by the Ameri-
can masses, would be hailed as the hardin
ger of a brighter day, aud would give An
drew johnson such position in the affec-
tons Of the people as few Presidents have
enioyed.

FIRHNESs on GENERAL HANCOGE.
GRANT RACKS DOWN.

GRANT is ready to interpose his au-
thoritv in behalf of Radicals While
Sheridan was removing officers in New
Orleans to make room for incompetent
Radicals, Grant had nothing to say But
now that these Radical officials have
demonstrated their incompetency or
worse, and General Hancock finds it
necessary to protect the interests Of the
city by removing them, Grant objects. A
Washington special, Of the llth inst to
the Cincinnati Commercial states the com
plieation growing out Of Grants course
as follows:
"An important conflict has arisen be
tween the military officials in the enforce.
ment of the reconstruction laws. BY virtue
of the set of Congress, of Jnly last, Gene
raj Grant has taken a stand regarding the
approval of an order issued by General
Hancock, recognizing the City Council
Of New Orleans. He yesterday telegraphed
to General Hancock to revoke has order
relating 10 the council. General Hancock
replies BIZ telegraph that, if General Grant
insists on his order of revocation, that he

1t seems however, that Grant has been
compelled to back down from the de-
mand upon General Hancock A New
Orleans dispatch Of the 18th inst to the
Louisville Courier says
General Grant has declined to interfere
in the recent removals by General Han
cock. The ousted officials, as soon as their
removal became known, had telegraphed
TO General Grant, asking suspension OF
Hancock's order until be Grant could be
communicated with by mail. Grant COM

IMPEACHMENT.

On the 10Th inst the Cincinnati Ga
gefte said we are obliged to confess a
want of faith in the rumor of an effort
to galvanize the dead impeachment, and
to give it new breath by making a cause
out of J0hnson's order to Grant not to
obey tie oders of the Secretary of War "
Strange and absurd as this may have APP.
peared to the Gazette, Radical as it is,
it seems to be determined upon by the
Radical leaders in Washington that the
President is to be impeached for this
cause and out of revenge for having ex-
posed the perfdy Of Grant. A Washing
ton dispatch of the 18th inst to the Louis
vile Courier says
me Impeachment project is regarded
among the Radicals, Judging from their de-
clarations tonight, as a fixed fact. A Mas
sachnsetts member asserts shat every Grant
man in the House will now sustain the i'm
parchment movement, as they had pre-
yiously defeated it. There was no reason
to suppose it would not be carried, as all of
the original impeachers were anxious to
have another lick at the President. He
further says that the circumstances which
have lately iranspired force upon Grants
friends the necessity of impeachment in
the personal issue he has made with the
President. 1t was suggested that no good
could result from impeachment, "a the trial
would occupy the residue of President
Johnson's term. To this the Massachusetts
member replied that a careful canvass had
satisfied the impeachers that a trial conld
be forced to termination before the SEN
ate in three weeks, and they would thus
become quietly possessed of the Executive
Department of the government, and could
finish up the Congressional plan of recon
struction before the Presidential election,
and secure the succession. He, however,
readily admitted that should the trial drag
the country would be thrown into con-
fusion, and that the people would then vote
for any moderate Democrat 10 secure a

New ORLEANS, Feb. l3.--In the con
Vention to-day a resolution was offered
which lies over, that no person shall be
eligible TO State or municipal Office who
has not the qualifications required by the
members of this convention, bat the LIE
gislature may, by two-third vote, remove
such disability.
A resolution exempting $1,000 worth
of property from seizure, or any obligation
after the adoption Of the constitution, was
referred to the Committee on Resolutions.
An effort was made TO take up the reso-
luton voting thirty per cent additional
pay 10 the members Of the convention.
Judge DsoIey spoke forcibly in favor of
its reconsideration, representing the evil
effect that such legislation will have upon
the masses when voting for the ratification
Of the constitution, and demonstrating
that there was no necessity for this addi-
tional pay. He spoke in defense OF his
resolution in a very supplementary man
ner, in the course OF which he used many
personalities, and was called a liar by Mr.,
NAPLES. The motion to reconsider was
Loaf by a vote of q TO 40.
A resolution was adopted providing for
a Board Of Registers, 10 consist Of seven
members OF the convention, whose duties
shall begin Immediately after adjourn
ment, and who are to have the entire con-
troll of elections whithont conflicting with
the. reconstruction acts.

Report ofthe a grIcuIGuraI Bureau. eic.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l3.-The monthly
report of Agriculture for January contains
table of the average yield per acre of the
principal farm crops of 1867. The latter
is shown, with the average home price at
the present time, to- he about the sameas
in January 1867. In New England a slight
reduction in wheat; a decrease in the
South, except in Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texas, a marked reduction in wheat
and a decrease; in all the Atlantic States
and generally in the West except Kansas
and Nebraska, the price of patotoes was
higher and more noted, but in the State of
Illinois, where the average yield was but
sixty bushels per acre, and the average
price is 81 20 per bushel. The reports
concerning the average of winter wheat
indicate no change compared with last
year. In Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio
and Indiana there appears to be slight
decrease, and an increase in Michigan
and some Southern States, amounting in
North Carolina TO 40 per cent. At the be
ginning OF winter the appearance Of the
crop was not generally quite 70 favorable
as usual. A prominent feature of the re-
port is in the fact of presenting spe-
eial statistics Of farm resources and pro
ducts for the Eastern and Middle States,
giving comparison with 1860 in the prices
of farms and of wild lands, and interesting
facts as to the resources in timber and min
erals, and special crops, such as postum
age, etc.
The contingent fund of the State Depart
ment is reduced from Sos, 900 10 S35, 900,
and also reduces the salary of the Second
Assistant Secretary Of State, but the
bill fails to make appropriations of money
for the following objects: The Examiner
claims to have sent the State Department
and the building Superintendent the statistic
dispatches by the cable, and the boundary
commission Of Washington Territory
The bill contains a provision that no Con
suls, Consular agents, or commercial agents,
shall be paid, except those specified in the
act, and all laws and parts of laws pro
yidiug for the payment of any other Con-
sular officers than those in this act speci-
fed are hereby repealed, and all monies
received for fees at any Vice Consulate, or
Consular agency Of the United States, be-
yond the sum of four thousand dollars
in any one year, shall be accounted
for and paid into the Treasury in the same
manner as other monies received by Off
GERS Of the United States.
The deficiency bill, which has become a
law without the Presidents signature, and
which was sent TO him eleven DAYS ago,
contains provision limiting the stationery
and newspapers of members of Congress to
Sl25 worth per session, also an appropria-
ton Of $500 600 for reconstruction purpo-
