THE Powers OF THE PREsIDEYT.-Hon. Robert
J. Walker is a Democrat. Some Democrats
think if the Tenure of Office act is decided be
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, impeach
ment must fail but Mr.. Walker, who is en-
inent lawyer well a Democrat, does not
share in that illusion. He says :-' called
upon General Thomas early Saturday morn
ing, at the War Office, and communicated to
him in friendly way my opinion that such
order would be nulity, and would subject him
10 serious consequences, especially if any such
collision should occur. | told him that he had
no right, nor had the President, to disobey law
of Congress upon the assumption that it was I'M
constitutional, and if this were not so the Presi-
dent might set aside all the laws of Congress
since the foundation OF the Government upon
the ground that they were unconstitutional
That the President possessed no such power be-
cause it WAS not an executive, but exclusively a
Judicial power, and that all the laws of Con-
gress must be obeyed and executed by the Pres
ldent, unless their execution WAS restrained by
the highest judicial authority. That to declare
a law unconstitutional was not only the exercise
ofjudicial power but the highest judicial power,
and only to be resorted to by the courts where
in their Judgment, the act was unconstitutional
and that in all doubtful cases, the court had
uniformly refused TO Interfere with the execution
Of the law.

are high and the winds good for
drying than in the tall when the
consequence of dissension would be
SO much more disastreus.-I Tribune.
You have been washing your dirty
linen ever since your dirty party
got power, and an expensiv,s wash
ing it has been for the people, too.
This springs washing alone cost
the people the nice little sum of
100000. Your attempt to wash
out the inequalities that God has
made botween the white and black
races, has cost US $4,000, ,00O, O,0O0i
And the negro isn't washed yet.
The next washing that is to bs
done will be under the direction of
the peoples They will wash your
dirty, Bondholding, tax imposing,

the negro as d screen to your infa-

same year, the Republican majority was

The people Of Minns'sola gave their
snffrages on the same question, not long
since. They rejected "negro suffrage BY
2,Ol3 majority, though the Republican
candidate for Governor was, at the same
time, successful by s476 majority.
Wisconsin, in November, 1867, rejected
negro sufragq--the yeas being in q mi.
nority of ., 0s3, while the Radicals, on the
same day, carried their State ticket by o
majority quite as large.
Even Kansas, which seems To be q

DEATH WoN'T SAVE You.
1t has been decided that
dying won't save man or
woman from the payment of
taxes. Assessors are instruct
ed that ''incomes Of persons
who died after the 3lst Of
December, are taxable, and
should be returned by execu-
tors, and all incomes Which
accrued in 1867, to persons
who died within that year.
Incomes ACQUIRING after 1e-
cease should be returned by
heirs" Thus it is seen that

lows a man in his coffin, sits
at the portals of the tomb,
plants himself by the side of
the grave digger, as he drops
the clods upon the mortal re-
mains, and after dogging the
carriages of the mourners,
stalks home like a spectre,
and enters upon his books the
expected income the Treasury
is to derive therefrom. What
a blessing is public debt
