The congressional plan of rushing the
impeachment business through without al
lowing time for debate, is in perfect keep
ing with all the past actions Of the ruling
party. In matter SO grave as the i'm
parchment Of great nations chief mag
istrate, it would seem that nothing would
be lost to the country by having both sides
of the question presented, in fair and
dispassionate manner. This, however, is
not their purpose. Their aim is to depose
the president, and to the accomplishment
of this aim all considerations of fairness
and decency are made subservient. The
democratic members of the house attempt
ed to present protest against being gag
ged, but it was ruled out of order. The
protest contained, among others, the fol
lowing grave charges against congress, and
no one can deny their business:
I" The house of representatives has
ceased to be deliberative body, and the
minority have been compelled TO vote on
the most important questions without any
proper or reasonable time for debate or
consideration. To such an extent has this
dangerous and oppressive practice obtain
ed, that measures, affecting vitality the
whole country, and the dearest and
most sacred interests of our constituents,
tenuing, as we believe, to the subversion
of our republican form of government, in
their very nature demanding of the PEG.
pie and representatives the most careful
examination and scrutiny, have been hur-
ried through forms of legislation without
being printed, without one word of debate
or one moments consideration, without the
opportunity of the undersigned to protest
except in violation of the then operating
order enforced by the majority as the or
der of the house."
The action of tie rump in this instance
is but fair illustration of their sincerity
in advocating the freedom of speech and
Of the press. The lane that has no turn.
ing is said to be of great length. 1t is be.
lieved that the radical lane will soon
change its course, and that the virtue o.
silence will be practiced by many rantlne
radical, whose voice has been raised
against the rights of the minority on eve
~ and all occasions. So mote it be.

A Wonderful Flying Machine lis
Process Of Constructions.

W. S. Hutchings, of St. Louis, the in
vcntor, has laid his plans before the best
eronauts in America, and all pronounce
it the only success ever made in aerial nav
igation-in navigating the air and turning
in any direction, at any heighth, with the
pleasure of the navigator. This wonderful
invention of navigating the air has at last
succeeded. The model has already been
built, is % inches in height, and works
with the utmost ease, and upon mechani-
cal and philosophical. principles.
In constructing this machine, the laws
of gravitation have been well studied. The
machine now in course Of construction
measures % feet in heighth, with an ex-
pansiou of 22 feet, full weight of the en-
tire machine 2S5 pounds, when ready for
aerial navigation, capable Of carrying with
ease in the air $50 pounds. The princi-
pie is entirely new, and the invention
claims the compression Of hot and cold air
in running caloric engine which is at
tached to the back. The body is Enclosed
ir complete mail armor made of vulcan
lied India rubber and brass with glass in
front, which protects the body and face
from the wind. Attached to the engine
and connected by means of tube passing
over the shoulder, is large cylinder, con-
tanning the compressed air, which is work
ed with each hand. BY this means the
navigator can go up or down with ease,
and regulates the engine at mis- own leisure.
Attached to the feet, head, and cylinder,
are doubled, inflated wings, some four feet
in length and by means of cord and In
dia rubber valves attached to the fy-wheels
of the engine, are two large inflated wings,
On tho compressed air Prinoiplo, Is feet
in length, and which turn with lightning
speed in a cicrular revolution, bearing up
the entire machine. Immediately above
the engine is attached by means of cords a
large double inflated parachute, measuring
&C feet in circumference, with tube con-
Meeting from the centre with a caloric en-
CINE. This is the protection in making an
ascension without danger to the ;eronaut,
in case of accident or breaking of the ma
chine. We understand the first trial will
take place when the wonderful feat of
jumping out Of a balloon 1000 feet from
the earth will be tried and, as the invent
or proposes to accomplish this himself. he
has great confidence in his own invention.
If it is q success, aerial navigation is GER
tainly the most useful invention of modern
times, outrivaling the telegraph or steam
navigation.

A lady who deems herself justified in being
jealous of her lord, and watchfu! of his ac-
tons, came there disguised in male attire,
for the purpose of watching him, as He
heard that he was to be there with another

Protuberances which such habiliments
were never made to cover, gait which be-
trayed her at once, and face really "pret-

She :, IS politely handed out of the house

quite anxious about her absence, and al

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The commit
tee of the house to conduct the impeach-
ment was in session over three hours, to-
day, and agreed to report two additional
articles of impeachment. One is substan-
TALLY the Butler article, voted down yes
terday. The second article is drawn by
Bingham, charging the president with
denouncing congress as can unconstitu-
tional and illegal body, hanging upon the
verge of the government" and as a /" rump
congress-" and other opprobrlous epithets,
intended to bring congress into disrepect
and disgrace.
Subsequently, these articles were re-
ported to the house, and after brief de-
bate were adopted, by nearly party vote.
The democrats made Intellectual attempts,
by points of order, to prevent the consid-
Grafton of the additional articles, but con-
tented themselves, finally, by ridiculing
them. 1t is understood that other articles
will be offered tomorrow.
The re-opening of the entire question
caused considerable surprise and no little
comment, the latter being unfavorable to
the success of impeachment. Mr.. Eldridge,
of Wisconsin, will move, tomorrow, to
amend the articles by adding one declaring
that Johnson committed high crime and
misdemeanor in speaking of the secretary
of the United States senate disrespectfuly
and contemptuously as "dead duck"
Gen. Cary, if he can get the floor, will
move further to amend by ad ding copy
of the charges and specifications against
Warren Hastings.

On Saturday, says the Chicago TIMES, Dir
Boutwell,, chairman of the select committee
in the house at Washington to propose arti-
cles of impeachment against the president,
reported the same. They are ten in number.
The first, second, third. fourth, fifth, sixth
seventh, eighth, and ninth, arc all about the
removal of Stanton and the appointment of
Thomas. They present, or attempt to pre-
sent, nine different phases of high crime or
misdemeanor committed by the president in
the effort to remove bad man and mean
man from his cabinet. The tenth article is
about the conversation between Gen. Emory
and the president concerning the purpose of
the bill creating Gran. general. The tenth
article is utterly pucrilc and contemplate.
1t is based on the testimony of Gen. Emory.
There is not word in that testimony which
does in any manner tend to convict the pres
ident of an intention to evade or defy the
bill. So far as the tenth article is concerned,
il amounts to nothing. 1t rests entirely on
Emory's testimony. 1t is doubtful even that
the managers of impeachment will mako any
serious effort to sustain the charges pre-
fcrred in the article. To do so would make
them ridiculous. 1t is plain from the testi-
mony of Emory that the president was very
cautious and guarded in the conversation re-
ported.
The whole question is, therefore, narrowed
down TO the removal of Stanton If the
president had right to remove Stanton, he
had right to appoint Thomas The author
ity to name successor necessarily. follows
the power to remove. To suppose anything
else is nonsense, considering the language o.
the constitution concerning removals; and
were the constitution silent as to nomina-
| tons and appointments, the common sense
Of every man would tell him that civil off.
ces cannot remain vacant, and that the pow
er to appoint and the power to remove should
be vested in the same department. of the
government.
1t follows from this that the senate will
have but two questions to consider-that of
| jurisdiction, as congress is now constituted.
| being conceded-in the trial ofthe president.
The first is, Dill he violate the law in the re.
moval of Stanton? And the second is. Did
he do SO with criminal intents This question
OF intent was brought prominently forward
in the debate on the articles ofimpeachment,
in the house on Saturday, by Mr.. JenclSes.
That gentleman said a lie proposed to SET
up the facts alleged, and couple them with
the avcrment that the acts and declarations
of the president show criminal intention
on his part to exercise the powers and au.
thority of commander-in-chief In violation
of the act of congress and of the constt,l-
tion."

Ex-Gov. Orr's determination to
leave South Carolina and take up his
residence in Missouri, cannot fail to
be regarded as misfortune for the
State in which he has hitherto exert
ed SO much influence, and which now
needs the services of all her judicious
citizens more than ever before.
From the close of the war, Ex-Gov.
Orr has been jealous and unwearied
in his endeavors to adapt the politi-
cal action of the State to the changes
brought about by the war. He has
appreciated the nature and extent of
those changes more truly than most
of the public men Of the State, and
has not shrunk from the responsible
ty of such action as they require.
He has urged the wisdom of acting
in harmony with the dominant senti-
ment Of the North-of accepting the
Reconstruction Acts of Congress,
and of recognizing the Southern
State Governments in accordance
with their requirements. He was for
protecting the freed slaves in all
their newly-acquired rights, and for
giving them the share of political
power to which their numbers enti-
tie them and which is necessary for
their protection. He has been the
true and judicious friend of his State
In her time of sorest need, and has
encountered the sharpest and most
bitter hostility of the re-actionists
and rebels who are resolved to re-
claim their old authority. We are
not surprised that he finds it neces-
sary for his personal welfare to leave
the State and renew his career else
where. But his doing so is calam-
ity for South Carolina.
