the exact words from letter of General

MADISON, Wis Feb.

MADISON, WIS Feb. 20.
The proceedings in the Senate to day
were enlivened by sharp discussion, with
a political bearing, in regard to the re-
sponsibility for the law of last winter pro-
hibiting the opening of dance houses and
ten-pin alleys on Sunday, which sprung
up on the Assembly bill proposing a re-
peal of said law. The DEBATE took wide
range, and, turning on the purity of the
Democratic party, an article was read from
recent number of the La Crosse Demo-
crat eulogizing the assassin Booth for
killing Lincoln, whereupon its sentiments
were endorsed by Senator Sat Clark who
was yesterday elected by the Democratic
Convention, receiving larger vote than
any other man for delegate to the Nation
al Convention, thus showing how such
outrageous sentiments are endorsed by
the modern Democracy.
At the close of the discussion the bill
repeating the Anti Sunday-dance-h house
law was passed by vote of 81 to 8.
In the Senate, the Assembly resolution
proposing to amend the constitution by
increasing the salary of the governor te
ernor to $1,000, which cannot take

WITH SUPPLEMENT,
IMPEACHMENT DECIDED Upon.

The second attempt of the acting Presi-
dent to get Stanton out of the War of.
fee, has created great excitement. Such
persistent violation of the law of the land
has finally drove the House of Represen-
tatives to pass articles of impeachment,
and before this issue of the paper reach
es our readers the great State trial has
undoubtedly commenced. An exchange
truly remarks that Johnson's 'immedi-
ate offense is an infraction of the law :;
his ultimate purpose is the re-establish-
ment of such condition of affairs in
this country that large minority of our
countrynen shall be denied all legal claim
to days pay tor days work
We hope his trial may be as speedy as
his offense is fragrant. IF ever man de-
served the EXTREMIST penalty Of the law
for crime against his country and man
kind, that man is Andrew johnson The
Constitution makes deposal from office
the only penalty that he can pay. For
offenses of far less magnitude, better
men have suffered death
A better day could hardly have been
chosen for the deed It is the day cho-
sen by this reckless man to announce
from the Executive portico the wicked
course which has wrought his overthrow
1t will hereafter be celebrated as the an
niversary Of the birth day of the man
who saved his country, and of the down.
fall of him who has done his best to de-
stroy it..
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1868-02-27

Representatives will, in due time, exhibit
particular articles of impeachment, and
make good the same and we do demand
that the Senate take order for the ap
pearance of the said Andrew johnson"
Mr.. Wade, President of the Senate
replied:
The Senate will take such order.
: After some explanations from various
Senators, on motion of Mr. Howard it
was agreed that a select committee of
seven be appointed by the Chair to take
charge of the matter.
Mr. Stevens and Mr. Bingham return
ed to the House of Representatives and
informed taht the Committee of the
House to acquaint the Senate with the
action of the House of Representatives,
relative to the impeachment of Andrew
johnson had performed their duty, and
that the reply of the President of the
Senate was that that body would take
action.
The tone oft the democracy and the ad-
ministraticn men throughout the day has
been very moderate, and many admit
that Mr.. johnson has blundered into a
very bad position.
At the war Office things were quiet
enough all day. 1t was opened at nine
o clock this morning. Each of a bureau
as he came in was obliged to go to MIR.
Stanton for his key, and before it was de-
livered he was required to say whom he
expected to recognize during the day as
Secretary Of War.

in all his undertakings to-day, and the
simple osd soul is at home tonight half

The La1 OF Citizenship,

The Committee on Foreign Affairs of
the House OF Representatives protiting
by the elaborate discussion which has
taken place on the subject, have reported
new bill to put naturalized citizens on
footing of equality with native-born citi.
zens IN respect of the protection of the
government. The question is not with
out its difficulties There has never been
any Well-defned international law regu-
latlng expatriat;on and naturalization.
Indeed, there had been little
naturalization of citizens anywhere until
the United States became a nation.
Since then we have made expatriation and
naturalization part of the laws of the
world. The new bill recites as the set
tied policy of this government from which
there can be no departure, that
1. The right of expatriation is an in
herent right, indispensable to the enjoy
ment of life, liberty and happiness, for
the protection of which the government
of the United States was established.
2 That the. United States have receiv-
ed persons from all other lands and in
vested them with citizenship.
3. That the claim of foreign govern
ments that such naturalized Americans
arc subjects of the Prince from whose
territory they may have emigrated, must
be dlSavowed.
The bill then enacts, that denial of
the right of expatriation is opposed to
the fundamental principles of our govern
ment, and that naturalized citizens of the
United States shall be entitled to the
same protection of person, and property
accorded to native born citizens in like
situations,
1t further proposes that whenever it
shall be made known to the President that
any citizen of the United States has been
arrested and is detained by any foreign
government upon the allegation that nat
uralization in the United States does not
operate to dissolve his allegiance to his
former sovereign. the President shall Or
der the arrest and detain in custody any
subject Or citizen of such foreign govern
ment. The President to give notice of
said fact to Congress without delay.
This last provision we deem undigni-
fed and unwise If this has cause of
quarrel with foreign government there
are ways of seeking redress far more re-
spectacle than imprisoning the first trav-
eler we may find within our borders who
acknowledges allegiance to that foreign
government. Why not with the same
propriety levy upon the property of all
subjects in the United States to satisfy
the Alabama claims ?-Chicago Tribune.
