the EARTHQUAKE ON FRIDAY NIGHT.

The distinct and widely extended shock Of an
earthquake which was felt throughout westchester
county on last Friday night extended into Connec-
ticut, among other places being felt for several
seconds at Greenwich, on Long Island Sound. The
shock was accompanied by q heavy rum bling sound
like that Of the passage Of an immense battery OF

The Outrage on Learning.

The bill to regulate away the elective
franchise from students received some
slight additions prior to its final pas
sage by the Legislature. If these had
made it any less odious or unjust its
friends would have deserved no credit,
since it was passed in its original form
by the Senate and in the same shape
was put upon its passage in the House,
where it failed to get a constitutional
majority only by reason OF the absence
Of some Of the Democratic members
1t was afterwards reconsidered, slightly
changed, and then passed, and the a
mendments concurred in by the Senate.
But these alterations do not improve
it. They rather make it worse. For
instance, to the conditions of residence
that the student must have been a quail
lied voter Of the township when he
commenced attending school or that his
parents must have had an actual resi-
dence therein either at or before the time
he commenced such attendance, it is ad-
ded that he shall not gain a residence
for voting unless he shall "upOn his
oath declare that he has no other place
Of residence, and that it is his intention
to make such township, city or incor-
porated village his permanent place of
residence" To the questions we have
hitherto cited which must be asked of
any person challenged on the ground of
being a student, are added:
"Have you no other residence than
this township, ward incorporated viii
Iage ?n
us it your intention to make this
township, ward or incorporated village
your place Of permanent residence 2'
If the word permanent here means
lifelong it implies conditions under
which very few persons, students or 9TH
erwise, could vote. There is scarcely
one voter in fifty who can swear that he
has made up his mind to stay during
his natural life in the township where
he now lives. Butifft means anything
less than this il implies intention or ex-
pectation of change of residence, and

The senate's Consent necessary 70
Removal OF Appointment.

That, salder the Constitution, the coz
sent Of the Senate, when in session, is
essential TO removal from Office as well
as appointments thereto by the Execu-
tive, is concIusiyely proven in Mana
ger Boutwell's very able and exhaus-
tive argument for Johnson's conviction
which is thus concisely summed up by
the NY Tribune
Nov power ofHeaIaOvaI IS given to the
President By the CONSTITUTION. The on
" power Of removal mentioned therein
IS the power of Congress to remove the
President, and Orh6rsy by in peach nIent.
But as the removal Of an officer has al
ways been effected by the appointment
of a successor, the appointment was re-
garded as the official act, the removal
as the incidental consequence. The
Senate in cOnsenting to the appoint
meut OF the nominee, tacitiV asSente0
TO the removal Of the last incumbent.
But Andrew johnson, for the first time
in our history, claims TO exercise an in
dependent power to remove, without
appointing any successor, and of course
without asking the consent Of the Sem
ate. The usurDation is at war with all
precedent, as well as in violation Of
law, and without syllable to warrant
IN the Constitution.
In attempting to remove Stanton, the
President was, therefore guilty of a
high crime, by reason of his usurpatiOn
Of a power not granted in the COnstitu-
ton. For this he wOuld deserve con-
victiUn had no Tenure-of- Office act
been passed, and without regard to its
c0ustitutiouality, or whether Secretary
Stanton comes within its provisions
The fact that the constitution only
gives TO the President aloIse bhe power
ito Ill such vacancies as might hppen
"Cluring the recess of the Senate, !"
clearly excludes all power to MI even
accidental vacancies while the Senate
is in session, still more to create and
Ill such vacancies at all times by re-
moving and appointing at his pleasure.
If we allow johnson to remove one Ofh-
Ger, he can remove all whether in the
army, navy, or civil service. And if he
may appoint to one Office Gd interim, he
can appoint to all. Aud If he can make
the interim week, he can make it a
year. To yield to his claim to remove
and appoint officers ends, therefore, eX-
actly where his claim to COnstrue the
law for himself ends-in absolute mon
archy. No other President has ever
claimed such powers. johnson finds
himself driven to do so only by the
passionate frenzy in which he has de-
Cermined to override Congress, the
laws, and the Constitution ITSELF His
unprinciplsd course relative to appoint
ments in the Revenue service alone has
cost the country $50, ,000, ,000 year. He
appoints every sycOphant, however,
knavish, who sustalns his usUrpatiOns,
and removes every official, however
honest, who condemns them.

Very few young men can say they have

There are thousands of men not stu

be said, and yet there is no party mean
and base enough to rob tEem of the
franchises 1t is because knowledge is a
hateful thfng to Democracy that this is
done. 1t is because education is antag-
onistic to the Democratic creed and
Democratic success. We say this not
gratuitousIy but because common sense
leads to no ether conclusion and because
we have heard from the lips of Demo-
cratic leaders unequivoeal acknow1-
ledgemenrs TO the same effect. It is a
brutal blow at science and is inevita bly,
suggestive Of a Vandal raid upon civil
ization. There are no people on earth
outside the Democratic party-except
semi -barbarians and sayages-who
manifest such heathenisl jealousy Of
highland knowledge. It is the out-crop-
ping of the fifteenth in-the nineteenth

Quren Victoria, in addition to the
honor of preventing a war been the
United States and England during our
civil war, is also entitled to the credit
of preventing a deadly strife in Lon
don. In May last the English Minis
try had resolved to call out the militia
ry and prevent the London Reformers
from holding their meetings in Hyde
Park. 1t now appears that this plan
vas only prevented by the peremptory
interference of the Queen. She sent
for Lord Derby, delivered to him her
personal command that no troops
should be used, and, as she might well
doubt whether be would feel bound to
regard such a prohibition, required of
him his personal pledge that her order
should be obeyed He gave it, and
there was aYeTted a collision sure to
have been disastrous, and possibly re-
evolutionary in its results.

Another Democratic Rebellion:


a bill was introduced into the House
of Representatives yesterday to take
from the Governor and Adiuntant-
General, the control of the State Ar
eanal and other military property and
transfer the same to the control of the
Chairmeu of the House and Senate
Committees on Military Affairs. At
the same time and iD the same House
was introduced bill to repeal the act
which prohibits the carrying of con-
eealed weapons.
We are not an alarmist, hut it seems
impossible to regard these movements
in any other light than as the first step
toward the Inauguration Of another
Democratic rebellion. In view of the
aspect Of affairs at Washington, this
attempt to place the military power of
the State in hands of a couple of Dem
Ocratic members of the Legislature, Is
nothing less than an attempt to place
Ohio In rebellion against the Govern
ment of the United States. in case the
United States Senate in the execution
of its constitutional aud rightful au-
thority, should remove Andrew John
son from the Office which he has dis
graeed. We should regard this eXtraor-
binary movement as startling and al
arming, if it were within the constitu-
tional power of the Legislature to take
from the Governor, the COMMANDER
in-chief, and other executive officers
the authority which belongs to them
as such chief executive officers, and
by an act, transfer that authority to two
members of their own legislative body
The idea Is prepOsterous. But loyal
men must be on the alert. Let all
friends Of good Government and order
sound the alarm. This legislature is
fit for treason, stratagems and spoils

The New YOlzs Pest apprsbends lhat
il the Republican party gets control Of
the administrator by Johnson's re-
movaI the power and opportunity may
tempt it to do something extreme and
desperate. We apprehend no such
thing. The Republican party is indel3t-
ed for all it possesses Of so-called radi-
oalism to the treachery and perVersity
Of johnson. But for these the south
would have been reconstructed on the
moderate and easy basis Of the consti-
tutioual amend nlent and political pow
er IN the ten tevoIted states restored to
the white insurgents. johnson and his
olaques opposed this as being TOO radi-
cal and defeated 1t. The impIacRbi1ity
of the rebels strengthened BY the an
tagOnism of the administration coulpegg-
ed the adoption Of what are called ex-
treme measures. Finding the obstacles
to an fair reconstruction 50 immensely
increased the Republican party was
forced to employ means compatent to
overcome the opposition. IF those
means were radical it was because the
vice TO be cured was radical and the
fault Of those who created the aggra-
vated eAigenoies Of the case. L is the
policy and custom Of the party IN pow
or to be moderate; it is the necessity Of
a party held responsible for power yet
baffied by treaehery to beradical. Moth
ing could more strongly tend 70 con-
serVatize the Republican party than to
give It an administration in accord
with its policy and principles. It was
scarcely accused of what is called radi-
calism until the President Of its choice
had been murdered and the one of its
adoption had betrayed It.
