Speech of Ihaddeus .Sferens of Pennsu1ran7a
closing the debate Impeachment IN the
House, Feb. 24th, 1868.
Mr.. Stevens said;
| agree with those gentlemen who have
zone before me that this is a grave subject
and should be gravely treatet 1t is import
ant to the high official who is the subject OF
these charges aud it is important to a nation
of forty millions of people now free and rap
idlv increasing to hundreds of millions. The
official character of the Chief Executive of this
great nation being thus involved, the charge If
falsly made is civil one. If, on the other
hand. the mlsdemeanors and usurpatIons
charged against him true, he il guilty of
as serious attempt to usurp the liberty
and destroy the happiness OF this nation as
was ever perpetrated by the most detestable
tyrant that ever oppressed his fellow men
Let us therefore discuss these questions in
no PARTISAN spirit, but with legal accuracy
and impartial jutice. The people desire no
victim. and they VIII endure usurper.
The charges so far as | shall discuss them,
are few and distinct. Andrew johnson is
charged with trying to usurp the powers OF
other branches of the Government with an
att mpt to Obstruct and resist the execution
of the law; with misprision or bribery and
in open violation of laws, which declare his
acts misdemeanor, AID subject him to fine

section of the act entitled - An act reguiat-

are other otfenses charged in the papers re-
ferred to the Committee which may con
slider more by themselves. In order to sustain
impeachment under our constitution, l dc
not hold that it is necessary to prove Grim

The Generals friends and everybody
will laugh at the want of faith in an over
ruling Providence expressed by a noted
optlcian of New Orleans, named Leja.
Professor Leia visited Corin,h few
weeks since, stopping at the Scruggs House.
One dav while sitting at the table eonvers-
ing with Colonel johnson, the clerk of that
popular resort, the conversation turned
upon the yellow fever, with the various
phases OF which the professor is quite ia
miliar; and among other things, the course
of General Sheridan in neglecting while
controlling the affairs of the Gulf De-
partment, TO take the precaution to ward
off. OF. at least, prepare the city for the
visit of Bronze John, was severely con-
demned. IN this connection Col. johnson
remarked
You must confess, Professor, that,
notwithstanding his many faults, General
Butler exhibited great administrative abil-
ity in the conception and prosecution of
measures to save New Orleans from the
dreaded pestilence while in command
there"
Up Jumped the optcian, his face pale
with ill-suppressed wrath, his eyes darting
fire:
