The Defeat of the English Ministry.

The new English Premier, Disraei, has
come to grief early. The Irish question has
been freely debated for some weeks in the
refusing the ministry no aid they asked for
the suppression of Fenianism, have been
very plainly telling them that Ireland would
never be quiet until the established Church
was disestablished in that island, and the evil
resulting from the owners of the lands living
away from their estates was removed. The
Church question took shape in resolutions
offered by Mr. Gladstone expressing the
opinion that the Church establishment in
ireland ought to be abolished Immense rev.
enues are now collected, in fact from the
Irish peasantry, although nominally of the
land owners, to support the Protestant
Church, yet this church ministers to not
more than one-sixth of the population of the
island, the Irish being almost universally
Catholic The injustice of thus collecting
from Catholics the revenues of the Protestant
Church-revenues spent often on political ia
vorites of the ruling party in England-has
cried long for redress and this cry found ex-
preston in Mr.. Gladstone s resolutions. After
debate prolonged through many sessions,
and participated in by the best minds in the
House of Commons, a division was reached
last Friday night, and the resolutions were
carried amid great cheering by majority of
sixty in a vote of six hundred.
Of this action the London Times of the
next morning said
- The Commons have resolved that this
cancer of the empire shall be removed. The
rejection of Lord Stauley's amendment to
postpone consideration until next Parliament
and the adoption of Mr.. Gladstone's resolu-
ton to 90 into committee are merely the first
steps of the operation. The national will is
soon to be expressed, and it will be in no I'M
certain sound. 1t will insist that the work
so happily begun shall be thoroughly per
formed. This morning. vote is the dawn of
the empire. Now Ireland may take conf
dence from this vote that she is sustained by
the vast balance Of opinion of the United
Kingdom The wrongs of ages are to be en-
ded and right done amid the acclamations of
the nation. This must guarantee peace"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Apr. 3, 1865.
TIE PRESIDENTS ANSWER.

hfs IhEoAbENl : ANNN Eh
Mr.. EDITOR Since | last wrote YOU, i'm
parchment has progressed quite rapidly, and
the trial now begins to assume quite good
shape. Last week the only thing done was
the filing Of the plea and replication. Mr..
Johnson's plea. which you have printed, is a
curious production, and shows how true it
was that the counsel needed forty days to
make decent answer to the articles Of i'm
peachment. TO be sure, the whole Of the
time, nearly, was spent in quarreling, and
that may account for the character of the
answer. His assumption of the right to
suspend indefinitely any and all officers,
whether in the presence or the absence of the
Senate, leads to an alarming point, entirely
overthrowing the authority of the Senate,
conferred not only by the civil tenure bill,
but even by the constitutions and relieves
him from any accountability to them in the
matter Of appointments. His whole course
in this matter is inconsistent. He affects to
ignore the tenure of Office law, and continu-
ally removes officers without notifying the
Senate at all, and yet caused a change to he
the requirements of the law And vet. YOU
remember he claimed, in his annual mes
sage, that this same unconstitutional law had
prevented him from bringing to justice or
dlsmissing the leeches of the revenue service
who were stealing millions from the treasury
1t is wonderful that the character of the law
should SO suddenly change when the question
was as to the removal of an honest and not a
thieving officer, and especially that it should
be valid against the removal of THE wing Off
GERS, but unconstitutional against the removal
of good ones. Were not Mr.. Johnson's per-
sonal character above reproach. and his truth
fulness and honesty established beyond
doubt. one night be led to think that there
was false play here somehow or other.
KEEPING swINDLING OFFICIALS IN OFFICE
Apart from all this, the persistence in
keeping Collector Smythe in the New York
Custom House, Notwithstanding his known
rascality, the nomination of w isewell to the
Senate for Internal Revenue Commissioner.
when aware of his connection with the
" whiskey ring and the continuance in
Office, against the advice and remonstrance of
the present commissioner, of men whom he
knew to be defrauding the government large
ly, and even to be in the . whiskey ring
look very badly for him. 1t is a pity that
the managers have not taken hold of this
matter and brought in an article charging all
these things, which without doubt could be
fully proved, would be clearly Improbable,
and appeal to the people most strongly as it

Impeachment has ceased to be sensation
abroad any more than at home. Foreigners
accustomed to the fires of civil war burst
out whenever any attempt is made in thei
government to change their rulers, at the
first news of the impeachment of President
johnson expected to see like result here.
But their approximations have given place to
wonder that everybody here quietly goes
about his business, and the machinery of gov
eminent moves as regularly and with as little
jar ever, while the first officer of the Re
public is on trial before the highest tribunal
known to our constitution. A government
of the people which can stand the strain of
gigantic civil war, lose its President and the
commander-in of its armies by the
knife of the assassin, and afterward try his
successor for high crimes and misdemeanors
and yet maintain its reverence for law and
send out no invitation for Caleb Cushing's
% man on horseback y to come and establish
an empire on the ruins of the Republic, is
teaching the old world new lesson respect
ing. the steadfastness and good behavior of a
people who make their own laws

came in the pleasing guise of music. 1t was
heard at all times of day and night, and in
all parts of the house. The air seemed full
of heavenly sounds, which mortals could not
produce. soft, suhducd and mellow notes,
wild and pIaintive, occasionally swelling in
to full, rich cadence, seemed to issue f1oin
every nook and Granny in the enchanted SUI

The LEBANON SPRINGS RAILROAD. AT t

The LEBANON SPRINGS RAILROAD. AT the
recent railroad meeting at Bennington Mr.
Park gave brief sketch of the progress
made on the Lebanon Springs road, and he
thought that by the LIST of August 1t would
be completed. He has force of 700 men
at work along the road, and would put on
more soon as possible. He thought that
Lebanon Springs bonds had proven not very
bad property, as he had sold 100000 worth
of them in New York city and he said if
any town wanted to sell it's bonds, he
authorized to buy all he could at 10 per cent
discount.
He thought that before long there would
be r QUITE to Albany by the way of Peters
burg. and thus another outlet opened for the
people of w estern Vermont.
He also said he should ask for a charter
next fall to extend the Bennington and Rut
and Road to West Rutland, and thought he
lhould get it. This is probably with view
O western connection, at the north end of
his line, independent of the road controlled
by the Rensselaer, and Saratoga and perhaps
also independent of the Rutland and Burling-
ton.

Progress of Impeacllment

We give ON the outside OF this paper
pretty full report of the impeachment trial
last week, which closed the case on the part
of the managers As will be seen, the de-
tense were given until Thursday of this week
for preparation to put in their case. Judge
Curtis will open the case for the defense on
Thursday. 1t IS said that he will make an
elaborate argument against the constitution
ality of the Tenure of-ofhce law, and then
show that the President has not committed
any criminal act in opposing it under the
advice of his cabinet. This assertion will be

u RHODE 1sLAND.-The election in Rhode

election of Gen. Burnside by about 1900
majority, a Republican gain of 81 since last
year. The Senate will consist of % Repub-

of Senator Sprague.
The Argus and Patriot last week made

We learn, however, that the overseer has
stated his side of the question in communi-

neighbor will, of course, print, and the cor
rection will thus be made, where it ought to
be, in the columns in which the origi MAJ
charge found place.

/ The managers thus far have undoubtedl,
made out their case, so far as it rests in mat
tiers of fact. They expect to be able to prove
in addition to what has thus far been put in
that President johnson notified President
Lincoln's cabinet, including Secretary Stan
ton. that he desired them to continue in Of
fee. This is undoubtedly an important fact
as it is in the nature of an appointment, aut
makes the solution of the legal questions
easier.

Gen. Buffers management of the case thus
far,-and it has been principally in his hands
is spoken of as able and adroit He has
proved quite a match for the President
counsel, of whom Mr.. Evarts seems to be the
master spirit
The McARDLE CAsE.-This case has been
continued to the December term of the Uni
ted States Supreme Court. Two of the jjudg
cs were considerably disturbed at the delay,
and one of them, Mr.. Justice Grer, filed the
following protest
Er-pnrte, IIfn III. Mcbride: This case was
fully argued in the beginning of this month
1t is case which involves not only the lib
erty and rights of the appellant in this case,
hut Of, ,iIIionS IF folIoxp Tbo
country had Il right to expect it would re-
ceive the immediate and solemn attention
of the court. By the postponment of this
case this court has subjected themselves,
whether justly or unjustly, to the imputation
that we had evaded the performance Of a duty
imposed upon us by the Constitution, and
awaited for Legislative interposition to super
sede our action and relieve us from our re-
spOnsibility. | have only to say - Pudet
literally translated, g am ashamed such an
opprobrium should be cast upon the court
and that it cannot be refuted -
Inasmuch as McArdle is at large on bail
and will not have his liberty interfered with
until the case is decided unless his bail sur
render him it is not quite easy to see how
a continuance of the case need to trouble any
body. In fact it does not trouble anybody
but certain politicians like Judge Black and
President johnson, who are in great haste to
get the Supreme Court to decide that the
construction laws are unconstitutional and
are using McArdle s case as the most conven-
lent one in which to raise the question. 1t
seems a pity that Mr.. Justice Grier can't
have speedy opportunity to make his thrust
at these laws of Congress, but he can comfort
himself that he is a Judge during life, and
there will yet, in the ordinary succession of
events, be many opportunities for him to
shelter his southern brethren under the pro
lection of his judicial robes. In the meantime
he can be comforted with his Latin quotations,
always taking care, we trust, as in this case,
to render them into the vernacuar for the
benefit of the unlearned
