The Senate Cannot Convict.

A furious partisan ma jority in the House
of Representatives has presented the Pres
ident of the United States for trial before a
fercely partisan Senate remarks the Lam
caster InteNigencer. The authors of the
movement are confident of success, be.
cause they have staked upon the issue the
fate Of the party to which four fifths of
the unscrupulous Senate belong. Yet we
hazard the prediction that the scheme will
come to grief, and bring ruin upon its con-
trivers.
There are some things which even a
Radical Senate DARE NOT 30. 1t dare not
convict of an offence when the offence
| does not exist. 1t dare not convict OF
violation of law when there is no law
There is nothing 10 the Tenure Of Office
Act which forbade the removal Of Stanton.
By the terms OF that act itself his case is
EXPIRE essly excepted from its operation
This was purposely done by the very Sen
ators before whom the President will come
for trial. The latteI's recent message to
the Senate has annihilated every pretext
for the prosecution. But this was super
fuous, because all who understood the
language can read the plain words Of the
PROvIsO.
We doubt not that the Senate is prepar.
ed to disregard the clear intent of the
| Constitution, and its Interpretation by
those who framed il. We have no doubt
that the Senate would disregard the usage
of the government ftom its creation to the
present day. We have also, no doubt that
the Senate would insist upon the power of
Congress to thrust War Secretary upon
the constitutional Commander-in-C Chief,
against his will. And we are persuaded
that the Senate would spurn unanimous
decision of the Supreme Court against the
constituticnaity Of the act. But We shall
see that even the Senate dare not EAT us
OWN WORDS.
There are acts so repugnant to common
sense-so revolving to the natural instincts
Of human justice-that even a debauched
Senate dare not commit th. m. After Con-
gress declared IN equivalent terms that
Andrew johnson should have power to re-
move Stanton, Notwithstanding the tenure
of-office act for, excepting names, this
was the precise and intended effect of its
language even our degraded Senate dare
not venture to condemn the President for
doing what Congress expressly authorized
him to do. And it WILL NOT.

Removal of Cabinet officers

In 1864 when the Republicans wanted
Mr.. Blair put out of the Cabinet, the fol-
lowing paper was presented to President
Lincoln
"The theory of our Government, the
early and uniform practical construction
therefore, is that the President should be
aided by Cabinet council 0greeinq Nth
him in political principle and general poll.
cy, and that all important measures and
appointments should be the results oftheir
combined wisdom and deiberation. The
most obvious and necessary conditions of
things, uithout uhich no adminiStrd ton
can succeed, we and the pabIic believe
does not exist, and therefore such selcc
tons and changes in its members should
be made as will secure to the country unity
of purpose aud action in all material and
essential respects.
This paper was signed by 25 RepubIl-
can Senators, among whom will be found
large number who are certain to vote
for conviction. They are about to punish
in Mr. Johnson as crime what they urged
upon Mr.. Lincoln as duty.
A great part Of the sisners will unite in
passing sentence on Mr.. johnson, and will
thus demonstrate to the whole world, that
he is the victim of malicious persecution BY
reckless and desperate partisan enc
mics. These unscrupulous partisans hold
one doctrine when they wish to get a
member of the Cabinet out, and they face
right about and hold the exactly opposite
doctrine when they desire to keep a Cabi-
net officer in.

Observation-Disclosures GRoEGE
A. McCALL.-In announcing tho death Of
this officer we have to record the loss Of
one Of the most useful and least Ostenta-
tious working soldiers that his State fur
nished during the late war. General
Mccall died at his farm near West Ches-
ter, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, day
before yesterday morning. His family
has always been of considerable note for
three or four generations III Eastern Penn
sylvania, with the interests of which dis
trict the late General had been irdentified
for many years. He was born in 1904,
and graduated at West Point in l924.-
He served under Jackson in the Florida
war. and subsequently served under Scott
and Taylor in the Mexican war. In the
latter he was brevetted Colonel for disting-
uished bravery at Cherubu>co. He mar
ried in 1851. and from that time till the
outbreak OF the civil war, devoted himself
to literary and agricultural pursuits. III
health compelled him to resign the com
mand of the Pennsylvania Reserves at the
close oithe Peninsuar campaign. A large
concourse of those who esteemed him in
Philadelphia will follow his remains from
Christ Church to the grave this Saturday

HIMSELF AGAIN.-The Republicans
have been exultant circulating the report
that Democratic member ofthe Kentucky
Legisture, named Brooks, had written a
letter to the Speaker of the House, resign
ing his seat, and giving as reason for so
doing the conviction which had been forced
upon him, that the principles and course
of the Democratic party, with which he
has always acted, were hostile to the ex-
istence Of our social fabric. The Repub-
lican press have highly eulogized Mr..
Brooks for his course. Mr.. Brooks has
since sent letter to the Democratic
members of the Legislature, stating that be
was i'll and little insane when he wrote
the frs. letter, and that he is now himself
again, and true Democrat.

From Washington to Lincoln, every
President has exercised the right to re-
move members of their Cabinet, whenever
they thought such course right and pro-
per. No one ever doubted or denied their
authority to do so under the Constitution,
or talked Of ImpeachiDg them for PREFER
ing one man to another for Secretary OF
War or Postmaster-General. Yet now
Andrew Johnson is to be impeached for
doing this very act.

1t is currently reported in official circles
that Judge Chase was heard to remark
that the impeachment movement was
simply absurd as legal procedure, and
politically considered, must seriousl y effect
the party pressing it, While we do not
believe that Judge Chase would so far for
get what is due to his position as presiding
officer in the coming impeachment trial as
to express himself in this wise, we have nc
doubt that the rumor correctly represent:
his sentiments.

The New York Tribune commenting
upon the probable nomination Of General
Grant as the Radical candidate for Presi-
dency says: 1t would suit Us exactly, if
the President could be at once a scholar,
a statesman, and gentleman. In a period
of famine, however, the coarsest food seems
delicate If this means anything it
means that the Tribune's opinions of Gen
eral Grant is, that he is neither :" a
scholar, statesman, nor a gentleman.

There are PA votes in the ELECTORAL
college without the votes of Southern
States, of which a majority is 1914; with
them the number of votes is 3I7, of which
a majsrity is l50. 1t is clear, from the
above tables, that the Democrats have
every prospect OF obtaining a majority of
the electoral votes of the Northern States,
and if fair vote is allowed in the South,
ern States and they take part in the Pres
identiaI election, their vote will be cast for
the Democratic candidate, thus insuring
his election by Triumphant majority.

When the question was before the Sen
ate of including Cabinet officers in the
Tenure of office bill, Mr.. Williams, Rad.
of Oregon said;
al have no doubt that any Cabinet
Minister who has a PARTICLE OF
SELF RESPECT would decline to re-
main in the Cabinet after the President
had signiied to HIM that his presence wa;
no longer needed.
Mr.. Howard Rad. J of Michigan, had
no doubt the practical working of the bill
would be as the Senator from Oregon hat
iutimated. Mr.. Sherman { Rad. oi
Ohio said;
Il take it that no case can arse or il
likely to arise, where a Cabinet Ministe
will attempt to hold on to his office aftel
his chief desires his removal. / cal
scarcely conceive a case. | think tia
NO GENTLEMAN, NO MAN WITT
ANY SENSE OF HONOR would hol,
a position as Cabinet officer after hi
chef desired his removal. And again b,
said
"IfI supposed either of these gen,leme
{ referring to the Cabinet of Mr. johnson
was so WANTING IN MANHOOD
IN HONOR, as to hold bis place afte
the politest intimation by the Presiden
of the United States that his services wer
no longer needed, l certainly as Senator
would consent to his removal at any tim,
and so would we all. +"
