Partisan Meanness of impeachment

Special 10 the Louisville courier.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-Mr. Eyarts
spoke for two hours, taking a broad and
comprehensive view of all the questions,
and laying down the foundation for his ar
gument. His description of the powers of
the different departments Of the govern
ment, personifying them and bringing them
all within the walls of the Senate chamber
where there is a deadly strife, was picture
of rare grandeur and beauty. The powers
and duty of the President to defend and
preserve the Constitution were clearly
stated. He referred in caustic terms to
Congress with its present exaggerated and
almost omnipotent pretensions far exceed
ing its scope of ddties. He pointed out the
obligations of the Senate in court their dell
icate and important functions in the trial
and what was due to impartial justice, their
country, their oaths and their God. This
portion of his remarks was uttered with a
weight and solemnity which powerfully
impressed all who heard him. He tore
impeachment to shreds and tatters, ex-
posed its factious selfishness, it's want of
principle and truth, and made its partisan
measures despicable in the eyes Of all. He
read an extract from Judge Spencer's
TICtNtl Ill JhNiEC tth , NdSt, hneIc he SAlu
in appearing in it he would scorn to bring
the spirit of party before an august body of
Senators. This was too much for Butler
even, and that worthy left the chamber in
dismay. He pictured the condition Of the
Presidents office if Johnson is deposed, and
said the Constitution never contemplated
that it should be filled by any one except
ing he was elected by the people. Senators
are discussing the point particularly TO-
night, and, in the event of Johnson's re-
movsl, il is not improbable that the present
law will be amended so as to have an cleo
ton for President at an early day. Some
Senators hold that the present exigencies
of the country demand it,
In this connection the doubt of Wade's
eligibility as successor as not being an Off
Ger of the government within the meaning
of the law was discussed. Ii is known the
Chief Justice has said there is grave doubts
of it, and this is urged as an additional
reason for filling the office in the contin-
gency named by general election.
There is authority for stating that in
view of the alarming strides of the Radi-
Gals toward despotisffl Chief Justice Chase
has said it was time every lover of consti
tutional liberty should band together
against the destructionists.
Quite scene occurred between Butler
and Judge Nelson in court relative to the
statements about Alta Vela, Judge Black
and his withdrawal from the Presidents
counsel. The words falsehoods and cal
umny were banded freely, and Nelson
intimated that this was not the place to
settle personal matters.

article IN the Tribune as an example Of the
feeling entertained, that the Impeachment
was warranted for political reasons, and
argued in refutation of the view thus
taken. He held that the essence Of the
Constitution was the authority Of the
people, and that its arrangement of the
relative powers of the different branches of
the government was based on the idea that
the terms of authority granted were In
short, that the evils could be patiently en-
dured for a few years, until the people
could, by the ballot remedy them

New-York tribune., 1868-01-18

The first of the sO-called constitutional
cases was argued yesterday in the United States
Supreme Court. 1t is that of VIM. II. McArdle.
ON appeal from the Circuit Court for the South
ern District of Mississippi. Mr.. McArdle was
imprisoned by order of Gen. Ord, and ordered
to be tried by Military Commission, on the
charge of hinderng reconstruction by certain
publications in the paper at Vicksburg of
which he is the editor. The accused was held
to bail in the sum of $1,000. TO await further
proceedings. Senator Trumbull appeared for
the military authorities. He cOntended that
this was not in any sense political question,
nor was it of such criminal character as re-
ouired the Court to give it preference. Beside,
the accused being now at liberty, though
under bail, was suffering no grievOus hardships.
Judge Black argued that the interests not only
of Mr.. McArdle, but of all the citizens OF the
United States, were involved in the question.
He did not ask the consideration of the case
as a matter of favor, but of justice. Judge
Sharkey showed the Importance of the course
suggested by Judge Black Mr.. Hughes, ap-
pearing for the Government, opposed the
motion for an early trial. The Court took the
matter under advisement.

ground that certain classes had been excluded
and others admitted TO the registration wrong
fully. He will not assume to revise or correct
any action of the Boards of Registration in

submitted to their judgment and discretion
This is right. We are more inclined TO ques-
ton the propriety of his refusal to order
military tribunal for the trial of murderer In
a frontier county. where no question OF color
was involved, and the only reason for desiring
a military trial was that no adequate means
existed for OBTAINING the prisoner in custody
until a trial before the ordinary tribunals could
be had. The intention of the Reconstruction
acts was to put an end to all lawlessness at
the South whether among the whites alone, or
between the races
New-York tribune., 1868-01-18

We are happy to learn from Mr.. s. 5. Cox that
the story of his desiring to have New England
turned ".out into the cOld,' because Of its Puri-
tanism, is untrue. We certainly have had the
impression, but Mr.. Cox is more familiar with
his speeches than we have the honor to be, and
we take his word fer it. We have no doubt
Mr.. Cox will make successful Minister. IL he
could only get Franz Joseph into the audience
chamber, he would mako him speech upon The
Bird, and The Flag, and The Democratic Party,
that the Imperial Austrian would never forget.
Unfortunately, we have a sympathy for Vallan-
dighan, and this sympathy makes it impossible
for us to give Sunset that enthusiastic support
which otherwise would be our pride.
1t is gratifying to see Sunset bringing forth
his afidavits of loyalty. If the whole Demo-
cratic party could only be nominated to office,
and sent to the Senate, how loyal it would be-
come. The Senate has regenerating influence
for the chronic Copperhead. The spectacle OF
Sunset Cox on tho steps Of the Senate, pro-
testing his loyalty. is sight we never thought
we should live to see. Still, people must be con-
frmed, and the Senate is very Radical Now
let the President send along vallandigham.
