THE WAY HARMONY WAS REST0RED.-In
the first days Of the organization Of the High
Court Of Impeachment, says the Humboldt
.(Nsvada) Register of April 4th, Washington
was full of all sorts of rumors concerning dis
agreements aud differences existing between
Chief Justice Chase, who was to preside 10
the court, and the Radical members of that
court 1t turns out, according to the authori-
~ Of correspondents. that these rumors were
not altogether groundless and that Chase in
sisted on his right to continue the hearing and
dispose of the McCardle case, then being ar.
gued before the Supreme Court, before he
could preside in the Court of Impeachment.
This assumption of the Chief Justice was re-.
sarded as an attempt to delay the trial of the
President, and was very offensive to the Radi-
cal tyrants, who brook no opposition in their
path Of crime; and a committee was appointed
to wait upon the Chief Justice and inform hin,
that the Constitution provided Impeachment
tor contumacious Judges as well a Presidents,
and that if he would save his own head from
the basket it would be well to heed the warn
lng The result of this notification was that
the Supreme Court at once adjourned; the
further hearing of the McCardle case was
postponed, and the impeachment Court organ
a1ea with Chief Justice Chase presiding; !, since
winch time, to all outward seeming. harmony
ana kindly relations have continued to exist !;
OUT many believe that the Chief Justice 10 not
20 completely subjugated as appearances would
indicate, but that he win yet end an opportu.
mty to avenge this indiguity put upon him.

lowed 10 vote a. soldiers, but as indiriduai oiti-
Gems. The following passage from blackstone
shows how well the sturdy Commons OF England
understood the true theory ON this subject:
by vote Of the House Of Commons. to whom alone
belongs the power Of determining contested elections,
no lord Of Parliament or lord-lientenant Of n county,
hath any right 10 interfere IN the election OF common
err and by statute the lord-warien Of the Cinq
Ports shall not recommend any member there IL
any officer OF the excise, customs, stamps, or other
branchesof the revenue, presume TO iniermeddle in
elections, by Persuading any voter. or dissuading
him, he forfei;s slcO, and Is disabled from holding
any Office"
The true theory in u Constitutional Govern
ment Is that the King does not ard cannot belong
to either party. All Government employees, as
soldiers, policemen, &c, are not the servants of
those who compose the Ministry for the time
being, but of the Nation. To scrutinize their
votes, and 20 make their places dependent upon
their voting a certain ticket, is to import the worst
corruptions of other countries, a. well rs TO viO-
late rbe election laws of this Kingdom. But in
no other country than this, We think, is such a
thing known as Judges taking an active part in
the canvass, and even threatening voters, telling
them for instance, that they are kiPi, j. e.,
= rebels, +" if they do not vote the Administration
ticket. When the Duke of Polignac and his col
leagues were tried for their lives after the revolu-
ton Of 1890. one of the gravest charges against
them was that they had induced Charles ". to
influence certain electors by letter, to elect Adj
ministration candidates.
Such remarks, then, as that Government Of
feers in certain districts : did not do their duty, g"
because they did not prevent the election of indie
penden: candidates, betray either gross ignorance
or q disregard OF the plaincst principles Of Con-
stitutional Government. \ well organized and
fully protected opposition, n loyal opposition,
which opposes the Administrative On principle,
is, as Lieber says, an essential element in every
Constitutional Government tina; deserves the
name. Conspiracy and intrigue, Ohunu, are weeds
that flourish in the soil OF dspohism, but shun
the open air and sunlight of free discussion.
If the present Administration wish to foster
intrigue and ~sedition, If they wish to produce
general discomfort, and TO further the views Of
extreme annexationists, then let them take away
what freedom of voting Is left 10 the people, let
them show that the surviving remnant of the
popular branch of the Government Is a sham and
! deIusion, and reduce this Government to an
unmitigated CesariSm.
