NE Times thus clearly embodies the
public sentiments on the impeachment

s'We have, therefore from the present
standpoint a pretty fair view of the gem
.ef~l aspect of the case as 1t will finally
60 to the Senate from both sides. There
can hardly be anything new adduced
which can materially alter the case, so
far as the defense is concerned, for their
answer by confession, lis already made
to the weightiest point of all. We do
not therefore hisitate to predict that ev-
cry vote of the majority will be sure to
support the main charge Of the inn

JoTity reinforced from the minority by
two or three votes more. Senators may
differ conscientionsly on tho oonstitu-
tiohaiiiy of IL proposed enactment, but
they will not be ready, as lawyers and
Senators, to face their oaths with the
deliberate vote that the Executive has
right to recognize a law one day and
defy it another, or that he has a right
at all, by virtue of his own imperial will
to decide what laws lie viii carry out
and what laws he will repudiate. There
is future, desirable above worldly Office
against which snch voting as that will
be found disiualifying act.
