FROM HAVANA.
lCorre -pondence of the Statesman.]

HAVANA, January a, 1868.
General Lersundi i organizing his ad
ministration in conformity with the orders
city administration is likewise undergoing
a material change since the new appointed
Mayor has arrived from Spain. The system
of economy which the Secretary of the
Navy has introduced are not much relished
by the employees of the Havana Navy Yard,
because it cuts down their income to con-
siderable extent. They have besides that,
other reasons for being dissatisfied, among
which we will mention their being forced
to remain on board ship. No employe is
allowed to leave the vessel without special
permission from the commander of the
vessel; rule which had hitherto not been
observed. They are, moreover, not paid
promptly at all, and the majority of them
have to depend entirely for their subsist-
ence on what they get from the Govern
ment. The army, the police and the en-
ployes of the Treasury have likewise heavy
claims on the State for arrearages of pay.
1t wolld seem, therefore, that the amount
received for taxes and the custom house
receipts are not as large as they were eX-
pect, d to be. 1t may be that large pro-
portion of them has been invested in other
matters, such as the amortization of the
claim which the Banco Espanol has against
the Treasury. ~ ltH lf2
On the 3lst of December violent storm
broke out which lasted all day and turned
into complete hurricane. The next day
it commenced to be very hot again and
the atmosphere is still full of electricity
and injurious to the health. 1t is feared
that if this weather continues the disease
which has threatened us ever since last
October, will break out in reality.
Last Sunday the Eaglish ship War Cloud,
from Liverpool, with cargo of coal, ran
ashore in the vicinity of Morris Castle, and
although the necessary. assistance was
given, the vessel could not be saved and
became total wreck two days afterwards.
We have still got an opera here but
the troupe does not amount to much, and
moreover the public generally is too much
discouraged to think of amusements. In
a few days the sBlack Crook" will be per-
leans, and as it is something new, it will
necessarily attract crowd for few
nights.

THE Duke de Luynes, one of the richest
noblemen in France, died recently of cold
contracted while attending the military
hospitals in Rome. The Duke, who was
rather liberal in his politics, had astonished
his friends by giving up the pleasures of
ducal life for the service of the Papacy.

tween legal tenders and gold was forty
per cent. you diminish the debt to ST.
100000, 900, Cor forty per cent no in
justice would be done. The proposition
is, however, in effect to make the debt
81, 800, ,00o, 900, and diminish in the same
proportion the peoples ability to pay it..
You double the creditors claim, while
you diminish the debtors means of pay
ment one half, increasing the value of the
rich mans dollar, and making the poor
mans labor less valuable.
PAY THE DEBT IN aREENBAoKs.
The enormous debt was incurred upon
a paper coinage standard, andi it must and
will be paid; in the same coin in which
it was contracted; and this conforms in
all respects to the terms Of the original
contract This priaeiple being recog
nized and affirmed By us, and the rev.
enue laws being revised and SO adjust
ed that capital and labor shall pay each
its fair proportion of taxes, and you
will hear NO murmurings or complain
ings by the loyal people of the
weight Of the load they bear. Great as
have been the sacrifices, the gains are
greater than the losses, and the regener-
alton Of the republic is worth all it has
cost in treasure and blood.
When the interest bearing debt has
been reduced, the people relieved of un-
equal taxation, and the whole country
brought into normal condition, we may
with propriety sand fairness, propose a
reduction in the volume of the currency.
The opposite course would be the re en-
actment of the law of Pharoah requiring
the children Of Isreal to make "the full
tale of brick without straw"
WALL STREET VS.. THE PEOPLE.
We have been retiring the greenbacks
with the moneysreceived fronA taxation,
instead of reducing the interest," bearing
indebtedness, with the delusive expecta-
tion that this policy would bring us to
a gold standard. We say delusive, for
the historical fact is that, with all the
contraction, gold has steadily advanced
in the temple of the money changers-
the gold gambling dens of Wall street.
But it will be said that contraction Of
four millions per month could have no
sensible effect, either upon the gold mar
ket or general business of the country"
Has that been the extent of the contract
ion? If I can read and understand fig
ures, there has been a much larger re-
duction of the circulating medium, and
one large enough to account in some
measure, for the general prostration Of
business, and the paralysis of the indus
trial interest of the country. 80 ~

ing of such Court should be framed only

ing of such Court should be framed only
by the Court itself. / have found my
self unable to come to any otner conclu-
sions than these. I can assign no reasons
for requiring the Senate to organize as a
Court under any other than the ordinary
presiding officer, for later proceedings
upon an. impeachment Of the President
which does not seem to me to apply equal
" to the earlier. I am informed that
the Senate has proceeded upon other
views, and it is not my purpose to con.
test what its superior wisdom may have
directed. All good citizens will feryent.
ly pray that no occasion may ever arise
when the grave proceedings now in prog
ress will be cited as precedent, but it's
not impossible such an occasion may
come. InasmueA, therefore, as the Con
stitution has charged the Chief Justice
with an important function in the trial
of an impeachment Of the President, il
has seemed to me fitting and obligatory
if he is unable to concur in the views Of
the Senate concerning matters essential
to the trial, that his respectful dissent
should appear. s. P. CHASE,

On motion of Mr.. Howard, it was or
dered to be printed and referred to Sc
lect committee of seven.
At five minutes past one the managers
appeared followed by the members of the
House, the latter ranging themselves
outside the bar of the Senate, and the
managers having taken seats provided for
them in the following order: Mr.. Bing-
ham on the right, Messrs, Boutwell,, Ste
yens, Logan, Wilson, Williams and But
Ter. The Speaker of the House was in
vited to a seat beside the President pro
tenn, and escorted to . seat by Mr..
Grimes.
Silence having been restored, the chair
man. of the committee, Mr.. Bingham,

cles of impeachment, the managers also
with the exception of Mr.. Ste-

SENATE

The chair submitted the following:
To the Senate of the United States: =
Inasmuch as the sole power to try i'm
peachment is vested by the Constitution
in the Senate, and it is made the duty Of
the Chief Justice to preside when the
President is on trial, / take the liberty Of
submitting. very respectfully, some OBJ
servations in respect to the proper mode
of proceeding upon impeachment, which
has been preferred by the House of Rep
resentative against the President now in
Office, that when the Senate sits for a
trial Of impeachment it sits as a court
seems unquestioned; that for the trial of
an impeachment of the President this
court must be constituted of the men,
bers of the Senate, with the Chief JUS
tice presiding, seems equally SO. The

for uniting the Supreme Court with the
Senate in the formation Of a Court of
impeachment, as is proposed in the plan

ence of an entire incorporation of the
former into. the latter will be substan-
TALLY avoided. This was, perhaps, tho
prudent means This authority seems to
leave no doubt upon either Of the propo-
sitions Just stated, and the statement Of
them will serve to introduce a question
upon which I think it my duty to state
the result Of my reflections to the Senate
namely: At what period in the case of an
impeachment Of the President shonld
the Court of Impeachment be organized
under oath as directed in the Constitu-
ton? It will readily suggest itself to
any one who reflects on the::abilities and
learning in the law which distinguished
SO many Senators, that besides the rea-
son assigned in the Federalist there must
have been still another for the proyis-
ions requiring the Chief Justice to pre-
side in the Court of Impeachment. Un.

President succeeds and it was doubtless
thought prudent and beftting that the
next in succession should not preside in
a proceeding through which vacancy
might be created. It was not doubted
that the Senate, while sitting lin its or
binary capacity. must necessarily receive
from the House Of Representatives,, some
notice of its intention to impeach the
President at its bar. but it does seem to
me an unwar-antable opinion in view Of
the Constitutional provision that the
organization ofethe Senate as a Court of
impeachment under the. 4 Constitution
should precede the, actual announcement
Of the impeachment on the part Of the
House, and it may, perhaps, be thought
a still less unWarranted opinion that ar.
ticles Of impeachment should only be
presented to Court Of Impeachment;
that ne other summons or process should
