IMP B A c Il M B N T.
Trial Of President Andrew johnson for
High Crimes and MiSdemeanOrs.
TESTIMONY FOR THE PROSECUTION.
Examination Of the Presidents Private Seere-
tary and Newspaper Reporters and
Telegraph Operators.

~ WASHINGTON April 3, 1858.
The impeachment trial to-day was intensely dull,
stupid and uninteresting, being confined almost en-
tirely to the examination Of shorthand writer's who
made reports OF Presidential speeches made here and
at Cleveland Ohio. The testimony Of these re-
portoria gentlemen was given with great clearness
and in that respect compared favoraby with pre-
ceding witnesses. The examination, however,
amounted to little In real aimportance for whether the
reports Of the Presidents speeches were accurate or
not has nothing to do with what General Butler to-
day called 'his constitutional right OF freedom
OF speech.v
The defence place little weight upon the tenth and
eleventh articles, they believe the High Court will
not dare to remove the President from office for mere
1mpropriety Of language or even "indecency of
speech" as the unbottled leader OF tile Marsgers
termed it during tht with one Of the Presidents
counsel, Mr.. Evarts this afternoon.
The rtnlng character Of the testimony to-day, and
the complete weakness shown by the Managers
rom the very commencement was q subject Of gen.
eral remark; and the opinion seemed to be extend
ing that the trial would certainly result in
failure in spite of the terrible threats and
denuncatiOns Of radical leaders and journals. How
the matter is regarded by members OF the High Court
IN general OF course cannot easily be ascertained;
but certain Is that that portion Of the outside world
which is not maddened by prejudice and hate regard
the trial so far magnificent farce which is likely
only to damage It's authors. The impression Is now
that II the Managers have not some stronger test
mony In reserve than that already produced,
impeachment must result in another triumph
Tor "the man at the other end Of the
avenue" There those, however. who
still persist in saying tha.. the radical majority
in the senate are .determined to remove the
Presidential "5bstacle," and that the value Of
testimonv and justice Of the measure will not
nave the slightest weight with them in de-
Sc,ding that this radical majority have entered
upon the trial solely to make show Of doing the
thing in conformity with the constitution, not for the
purpose of legally testing the guilt or innocence Of the
accused. or course, II this true it is idle to base
any opinion upon the mere weakness of the test
m0ny, and the safest course is to wait and see.
]. p. Mccullough, newspaper correspondent
has been summoned by counsel for the President to
give testimony in the trial, to show that the Pres-
dent in his reported conversation with him declared
his action in the Stanton-Thomas matter was with
the view of only obtaining judicial decision on
the constitutionallty Of the Tenure Of Ofce bill.

The Patchwork of Impeachment.

By putting bits and scraps together
like a piece Of patchwork, Congress has
gotten up bill of impeachment against
the President. At first one bit was put
In, and then another, then bit was taken
out and another inserted, until finally the
beautiful whole was so weak and fimsy a
fabric that the strong men of Congress
the hard handed and hard-headed men
of Athens-would not have it at any
price. Thad. Stevens declared that the
cancern would not hold water unless his
patch was added. Ben. Butler said that
It was worth nothing if they did not put
in a patch of his selection; while Bing-
ham, Of Ohio, who would be nothing but
chief manager, edged in his little patch
almost at the last moment. ,Il-
As the original articles Of impeach-
ment stood, the leading spirits Of the
movement were emphatic in their opin-
ion that the President could not be con-
victed upon them. Old Thad. Stevens
said that unless bantling of his own
was introduced into the bill, in the shape
Of twelfth article, "caviling judges
and shrewd lawyer" would acquit Mr..
Johnson in fact, if they were not more
gteen than leeks they must aequit him.
But his bantling was not accepted. Bot
Ter and Bingham were equally resolute
in their opinion that no conviction could
be obtained upon the originalindictment,
and they succeeded in getting two addi-
tional articles adopted at late hour on
Tuesday. But what 10 they amount TO

The Revolutonists Appealing to the Sword.

l
A revolutionary usurpation naturally
| shuns the arbitrament Of the courts, and
prefers to invoke the sword. While the
President is quiet and almost unguarded
in the Executive Mansion, Mr. Stanton
fairly bristles with military preparation.
General Grant is summoned TO the front,
and responds with alacrity, only too anx-
ious to be avenged on the constitutional
President, by whom his duplicity was
unmasked to the. country. General
Geary, the Radical Governor Of Pennsyl-
vania, informs bis friends here that troops
are being raised to sustain Stanton's
usurpation. The Radical Governors of
Iowa and Illinois also telegraph their
tenders of troops to the usurping Con-
gress. The Grand Army of the Republic
talks Of precipitating hundred thousand
armed men upon the scene; and finally,
to cap the climax, in comes, with sword
and buckler, the rrepressible negro. A
secret Union League" of Africans,
four Thousand" strong, offers to be here
iu ten hours" to put down the Presi-
dent and the Supreme Court.
Is Encouraged by all these military pre-
parations, the Radical speakers on the
impeachment assumed a bold, menaoing
and contemptuous tone toward their OPP
poneuts, the Conservative masses; in
substance accusing them of cowardice,
and declaring their ability and readiness
to put them down with the strong hand.
1t is deeply to be regretted that, this
course has been pursued. There is no
occasion for violence or threats of VIC.
leuce. If the construction of the Con-
stitution and the laws is in doubt, or is
disputed; if the Congress and the Presi-
dent cannot agree, then let the Supreme
Court say which is right. If there are
different views of public policy, let the
people 20 on to arbitrate and decide, as
they have been doing at every election
where they have had an opportunity for
many months past tits just these two
things--the judgment of the courts and
that of the people-that the revolutionary
party most dread. A party pledged to
revolution cannot afford to 60 fairly into
either forum; its only success lies in the
sword, or in the intimidation of its oppo-
nents. $500
The last clearly will not answer The
insolent imputations made by Radical
leaders upon the courage and manhood
OF the Democratic masses, their bold
avowals of a purpose to use violence, has
already led to counter military demon
strations on the part of the people. The
masses of the land would greatly prefer
a decision by the highest judicial tribu-
nails, or to the ballotbox; but before
they are cheated or bullied out of both,
they will make resoute stand for the
Constitution. Revolutionary violence
will be met by armed preparation on the
part Of the people who are intended to
be subjugated-a people eminently peace
loving and sick Of public disorders, bnt
too manly and intelligent to yield their
liberties and Constitution to the military
demand Of Stanton and Grant, and
abundantly able, at the proper time, to
prove to the cowarjly legislative defa-
mers of their courage that they have both
the will and the nerve to be free. Nd
