ACCORDING to the Washington core
spondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
"a distinguished Radical said in private
conversation few days ago,
81 do not care how many niggers they
put into the State Legislature, or make
Governors, but d hate like the devil to
to have them come here to Congress"
The negroes seem to understand that
they are not wanted in Congress A
couple went from South Carolina to
Washington a short time ago, to ascertain
when they were expected to be "knockin'
at de door" but nothing has been made
public as to the result of the mission Of
these would-be Congressman. The ON
nous silence in regard to the knowledge
they gained seems to have had its infu-
ence upon at least one negro who has had
taste of the sweets of Office. One II.

NEW HAwPsHTRE

The Radicals have carried New Hamp-
shire, and "the Dutch have taken Hol-
land These are the two last items Of
current political news One has about
as much significance as the other : II the
dykes around the Zuyder Zee had sud-
denly given away aud submerged the
Fatherland and all its people manners
and customs, it would have been matter
for a sensation over the water, and might
have required another Congress 10 settle
the balance of power and mark the
bounds of empire on the European con-
tinent But the solid buFghers of
Amsterdam are still on dry ground,
and nobody expects them to be drowned
by an inundation. So neither was
there any probability or reasonable
expectation that New England State, of
the dimensions of New Hampshire, would
be permitted by the party in power at
such crisis as the present, to record a
majority Of votes against it. 1t was as
necessary to the Radical programme to
defeat Sinclair, the Democratic candidate,
as it was to impeach the President; and
the leaders having ventured on the latter
were compelled to secure the former at
all hazards and by every means Radi-
ealism is a plant Of New England growth,
and to have had impeachment of Presi-
dent, its full flower, chilled in the act of
unfolding by any ungente airs from the
cline of its nativity, would have blighted
it, perhaps, to decay.
Metaphor aside, when impeachment
was determined on, the carrying of
New Hampshire became another party
necessity as accessory to the work at
Washington. 1t was done, and doubtless
corruptly, though even without the ems
BlOyment of such means, the Radicals
have small majority in that State, and
would probably have mentioned it. If,
under the extraordinary circumstances
existing, the Democratic candidate had
succeeded, it would have been a note
worthy indication, and justly should have
exerted an influence. But remaining, as
the vote does, substantially unchanged,
the result should not, nor do we think it
will, alter, in the least, the general COM
plexion Of affairs. As matter Of course
the Radicals will make the most Of it. 1t
is their cue to do So There is jubilation
through all their ranks That New
England Slate however, of 10000 voters
only, which has been in the hands of the
Radicals for ten years, should continue
so by the same vote, is no cause for de-
preston or dismay to the friends of the
Constitution.

TIE Radical destructives about Wash
ington have a wholesome dread Of the
Supreme Court, and hence they endeav-
ored to get a bill through Congress re-
curing the assent Of tw0>thirds Of the
court to declare a law of Congress uncen-
stitutional This usurpation has not yet
been accomplished but the court is
meantime, progressing with the bust
mesa before it, and the destructives are
trembling lest it should strike down
their whole reconstruction patchwork.
Speaking Of the McCardle case, the
washington correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Gazette says in bis letter of the 9Th
instant
The Impression Is very general among
members Of the bar praoticing in the Su-
preme Court, and Republicans, that if the
case is decided, it win be against the re-
construction law"

Washington Ifems-

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Post
Office Department to-day ordered the Bal
timore and Washington mails to and from
New Orleans to be transferred to the route
via Lynchburg, Virginia, and the Knox
vile and Chattanooga Railroad Compa-
nice having submitted new schedule, and
promising sure connections in future, mails
between New York and Philadelphia and
New Orleans will continue via Louisville,
KY, until the performance of the Knox,
vile road under the new schedule is fairly
tested.
The Senate in executive session con-
frmed the nominations of J.. Ross Brown
as Minister to China, and Capt. Tucker as
Minister resident to Greece.
J. D. Bruce, of Montana, is here for the
purpose of obtaining an enabling act for
the admission Of that territory into the
Union as State. He represents that he
has received much encouragement from
members, and that Montana has $1,000 in
habitauts.

IMPEACHMENT NO TRIFLE.

If Andrew Johnson be condemned and
removed from his Office, he will, in all
human probability, be the last constitu-
tional President this nation will ever
have. His immediate successor will be
an unqualified product of usurpation
Does history record an instance in which
revolutionary usurpation ever voluntarily
surrendered power to the people, and re-
verted to the forms and limitations Of
constitutions and laws? There is none
such The deposition of the President
will make the whole scheme Of Radical
revolution in the government an accom-
plished, and not without an indefinite
period ofoppression and, perhaps, another
and more terrible civil war, an irremedi-
able fact The malign spirit which shall
prompt two thirds of the Senate at the in
stigation Of the House of Representatives
to do this infamy, will halt at nothing.
There are Democratic presses which, for
some cause, speak fippantly of impeach-
ment, and manifest an undercurrent Of
Indifference as to the result If one were
disposed to be censorious, a motive could
easily be discovered for this course but
motives aside, do they imagine that the
Jacobins who overthrow one President
because, in the discharge Of his duty he
endeaYored TO arrest their schemes for
power, having seized all the power of the
government, civil and military, are going
to permit a free election by the people to
replace him with another of the same
temper, a few months afterwards To
talk about the people retrieving their
control of the government at the Noyem-
Der election, in the event that President
Johnson is convicted and removed, is
folly. Such an occurrence would be
miracle. To believe it possible requires
an amount Of faith in the system of
popular government which our recent
experience at least affords no war
rant for. 1t will never be effected by
anything short of a counter revolu-
ton by force, or such a threatening
spirit in that direction by the people,
as will terrify the Jacobin leaders from
prey already in their grasp The fear is,
that with the achievement Of that result
the successful impeachment of the
President--it will overawe and cow the
people into acquiescence. impeachment
is something more than moot court pro
ceeding, in which the amount at issue is
a mere temporary party advantage.
Radicals may SO regard it, but it does
not become Democrats to discuss it from
such a standpoint twill be as fatal to pub.
lie liberty as the step that Caesar took when
the waters of the Rubicons washed the
feet Of the charger on which he OVERRIDE
the liberties of his countrymen.

SOME of the Washington news>mon-
gers desired to give old Ben. Wade the
credit of possessing at least one virtue,
and stated the other day that he would
not vote to convict Andrew Johnson that
be might get has Office, but that he would
resign the position Of President of the
Senate, in order that Colfax, or perhaps
Grant might be transferred to the Presi-
dental Office. The Washington corre-
spondsnt Of the Cincinnati Gasetts repels
the intimation that Wade possesses this
virtue in his letter Of the 9th inst, this
correspondent says
"A -ery small clique are busy making
general war on Ben. Wsde. One Of The
latest connections Of these persons ia the
story that Wade will, when the time comes
20 vote on the impeachment trial. resign
20 let the Speaker Of the House take the
Presidency. There is about as much proba-
biliiy Of Mr.. Wade resigning as Of John
son beng the Republican nominee for next
President"
This Is a Radical idea, that represent
ing Senator to be an honorable and
high-minded man is making war upon
him

The Philadelphia AGE makes the 70
lowing point

The Philadelphia Age makes the fol-
lowing point
General Lorenzo Thomas was charged
on oath Of f. NJ Stanton with violating
the provisions of the tenure of Office act.
For this ofense he was brought before
Judge Cartier, of the Supreme Court of the
District Of Columbia. The act was con-
fessed by the accused, and yet the Judge
discharged him without even the form of
a trial. Should not Judge Cartier be i'm
peachedy Surely, IL Andrew johnson is
liable to impeachment for acting in oppo-
sition to the provisions of an act, Judge
Cartier is equally guilty for neglecting to
hold for trial man who confessed to have
committed the crime Of which the Presi.
dent is charged"
The Age seems to overlook the impor
tant fact that the laws which have been
enacted during the last three years were
for the benefit and not as restraint upon
the Radicals.
The Cincinnati Gazette, leading and
rabidly Radical journal in Ohio, has the
unblushing hardihood to declare in its
issue Of the 10th inst that the tenure of
Office bill was made to hedge bad Pre-
sident. that is, President who is SIM
ply not Radical; and that with Wade
for President, we (the Radically shall
abolish it. Of course Is it matter for
wonder that a party with such morals
should regard it as a virtue in Radical
officials to violate laws enacted TO hedge
a President, even though there be an
cath Of such official in the way?

IMPEACHMENT.

| Interview with the Presideut-Inter
esting Reminiseenees-The President
10 be Sacrificed with the COustitu
tiOnRI PrerOgafiVes Of his Ofiee-The
Haste with which the Work is so be
Dome.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE World's
correspondent gives the details of an inter
view with President johnson on the sub
ject OF impeachment; during which the
President stated that he should respond to
the summons to appear by counsel, and
after long conversation upon the merits
and dement's of the charges brought against
him, concluded the interview by saying
that the gentlemen in the House who origi-
mated the Impeachment, and others who APP
plaud them, are, in a certain sense, con-
sistent. Recalling the time, on the eve of
the rebellion, when l stood in the Senate
almost alone in insisting upon the duty OF
the government to uphold the Constitution
and the Union against the traitors who threa-
tened both of them, l recall class of men, in
and out of Congress, who lacked courage to
defend either. Standing on the same plat
form that | occupied then, look around
and see these men now grown bold enough,
in the place oftheir former weakness, to dis
regard the clearest provisions of constitu-
tional law. After the war is over, in which
they took none, except wordy part, they
have relapsed to their former status, as a
politician who held the Constitution at too
slight value to be either valiantly de
Tended or treated with reverence. Finally
it is declared that |, who have as honestly
striven as l know how to administer this
government in accordance with the Con-
stltution, shall be sacrificed along with the
constitutional prerogatiyes Of the Presiden-
tial office, to a party necessity, while JEFF.
Davis, the head and front of the rebellion,
is not brought TO trial. Yet Congress pro-
poses to try the President at once, for what
kind of ofense compared with that of Mr..
Davis the country and the Senate may per-
haps Justly decide.
