The Crisis.

We present to our readers this week news
more pregnant with Interest, and more immc-
dately affecting tie character and stability of
the Government, than any that has startled
the nation since the surrender at Appomattox,
and the downfall of the Confcdcracy.
The President, it will bo sccn has at last de-
tcrmincd that passive forbcarancc has ceased
to be virtue, and boldly boarding the Con-
grcssional lion in its lair, despite the threaten
ed impeachment which like the sword of
Damocles has been suspended over him, has
exercised the prerogativc attached to his Office
under the Constitution, declared Stanton no
longer his Secretary of War, and appointed
Adjutant General Thomas us his temporary
successor This action has doubtless been
long under consideration by Mr.. johnson, aud
though it falls upon tho country with all the
forco Of q surprise, is only the aenouen,ent OF o
we'll n,aturcd plan.
AS was expected his action has been op
posed and his order disobcycd. Stanton, with
q stubbornncss which betokens either mind
stultified by passion and partisan Madness or
utterly devoid of the susccptibilitics of tho
gentleman, refuses to abdipato his desk and
powers, and, sheltered by Grant and his senti.
nels, boldly and dcdantly proclaims himself in.
dependent of the wishes or orders of the Con.
stitutional Chief Executive tho Government.
General Thomas, his appointed successor. is
The Orangeburg news. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1867-1875, 1868-02-29


denied admittance to tho War Office, is insult
cd, and finally arrested because his obedience
to the lawful behest of histSuperior, conflicts
with tho so-called prerogativo of Congress,
under its sclfussumed authority. IS
!. In Congress the scene is d iforcible illustra-
ton of the ipiquity and despotic tendencies of
the dominant party. The reception Of the
news is made the occasion for hurried action,
and resolution to, impeaoh the President is
speedily offered, and with little debate, passed.
The resolution lis then in great haste reported
ito tho Senate: and that august body announces
its readiness to try, and does not conceal its
avidity to convict and dcpose Mr.. johnson
from his position.
Impeachment is therefore, now fact, and,
as it is probable TINT the suspension Of the
President will be attempted during its incipi-
|cncy,' We may well regard the present crisis as
]exceedinglY n,omeutous. In regard to its ulti-
1 mate consequences tho best friends of the
country seem unable to anticipate. All sec
probabilities of anarchy, whilo many of the
lnost hopeful arc trembling for the Republican
form of our Government The usurpations Of
Congress have eliminated in revolutions and
lunlcss the voice and tho will Of the people
makes itself heard and felt, the destiny of the
IJnon is sealed With the Supreme Court
disrcgardcd, the President Invested of al au-
thority, the Constitution spurned and tram
pied under foot, Congress, animated solely by
selfish and partisan motives may well hope to
plant itself upon the wreck Of the Government,
and play the part of an unrcstruined tyrant.
For months, the political elements through
out the land have been in Volcanic condition;
for months, the National Capital has been over
hung with clouds ominous of tempest. At
last, the volcano has eruptcd the tempest has
broken forth, and the Ship Of State tossed upon
huge pillows of passion is threatened with dis
astcr, if not total shipwreck.

General Thomas has officially accepted the

Judge Carter, ON the affidavit Of Stanton, for
violation Of the 5th section of the tenur. Of
Office act.
Both Houscs met to-day for business aud the
excitement is very great
Thomas has been released on $4,000 bail to
appear on Wednesday.
Stanton camped i'll the War Office last night
and is still in possession.
The Reconstruction Committee to-day, by
vote Of seven Republicans to two Democrats,
! resolved to prefer articles Of impeachment
against the President for his conduct respect
ing the removal Of Stanton.
The debate is progressing with spirit but
dignity, and the excitement is subsiding The
President will adopt 40 arbitrary measures
He is content with the present shape of affairs
The matter is now with tho courts
Only Brooks and Beck voted against the
resolution Of impeachment in the Rcconstruc-
ton Committee.
After his release from custody, Adjutant-
General Thomas found his Office door locked.
and the key in Stanton's possession. Thomas
then went to Stantons office, whcu Stanton
was in the company Of ten members Of Con-
grcss, and Generals Grant, Dent and Howard.
Sentincls guarded each door, and visitors were
admitted only after their cards had Dccn in
spected. Several cards were presented for
General Thomas, but admission was denied
Colonel Moore, tho Presidents Private Secre-
tary called on General Thomas remained in
Stanton's rooms until haltt-past ~ when he
left the War building. During the interview,
Stanton notified General Thomas that be would
not resign War portfolio or recognize him
(Thomas) as Secretary Of Var, and that he
had instructed all the employees of the De-
partment not to obey him, General Thomas.
At halfpast II o'clock General Thomas had
long interview with the President, during
which the President said he wished to test the
lnattcr before the courts.
