II anything were needed 10 prove the
degenerate and dissoute spirit that has
overcome this country, it is to be found
in fact which, though obvious before,
and inevitable rs a consequence of the

seem to have forgotten that there are any
other means of remedy for conflicts Of
civil jurisdiction and authority than
arms aud to have lost sight Of the fact
that the chief object Of free representa-
tive government is to dispense with force
in the adjustment of such questions
This. to a degree, is a result of the recent
free use of that last and terrible resort,
which. when once in motion, is 50 apt to
become incoutrollahle But it is due
also. TO another evil which cannot too
soon be abated-the presence in the
country Of a large standing army, and

Kossuth-was the remark that bayo,

TEE SITUATION

From the dispatches this morning it
viii be seen that the Impeachment Com
mittee Of the House has confined itself
20 SIX specifications all referring to the
removal of Stanton, every one Of them
being untenable. TIE conspirators are
making a desperate effort to prevent the
tenure Of office act from reaching the
courts, Stanton, it is reported, offering
o. resign rather than have it done The
suit for damages hy Gen. Thomas, may,
however, bring the question under Judi
cial cognizance The extracts from the
Northern press, published this morning,
show how weak the cause Of impeach-
ment IS Each day viii further weaken
It, until it sinks into the mass of fruit
less party subterluges, loathed and des-
pissed

JUDICIAL TRICKERY.

The Radical conspiratOrs are fertile in
tricks, but the contemplate dodge of
Judge Cartier will not avail Having
arrested Lorenzo Thomas they became
afraid to hold him as prisoner long
enough to permit him to apply for the
writ of hobeas corpus, under the hearing
of which the legality Of the proceeding
might be tested in the court They
dropped him like hot poker This pro
ceeding, however, does not exhaust the
legal steps Thomas can, under writ
of manddmus, or quo todrranto directed
to Stanton, obtain Judicial decision as
to the right by which the latter holds the
War Department 1t has been suggested
that this suit would necessarily be before
an inferior tribunal, and that the appeal
which would inevitably be taken
by one side or the other, would delay the
final adjudication until the next term OF
the Supreme Court of the United States,
in December of this year. The second
section Of the third article eff the consti-
tuition, however, says that, in all cases
affecting Ambassadors, other public Min
listers and Consuls, and those in which a
State shall be party, the Supreme Court
shall have original jurisdiction ' That
tribunal is now in session, and the cause,
involving as it does the tenure of Minis
isterial Office of the first grade, may at
once be brought before it for hearing
The trainers Of the organic law did not
omit to provide for the speedy determine
ton in the highest judicial forum OF
grave questions of this character

JUDGE CARTIER AND HIS COURT.

We referred the other day to the des>
picable conduct Of Chief Justice Cartier
of the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia in his midnight visit to Stanton
in his lair il the War Office, and the ar
raigument before his court on the day
following of Gen. Lorenzo Thomas.
Something Of the antecedents of this
modern Scroggs should be known, and OF
the mode in which he became an arbiter
of great questions affecting personal
liberty and the fate of nations
The court over which he presides is
regular Radical contrivances made to
order. At the outbreak of the civil war,
there was a court Of similar jurisdiction
in the District Of Columbia, of which
Judge Dunlop was the head. When
Stanton opened Bastile, and commenced
incarcerating citizens for their political
opinions upon arbitrary order, one
Of the victims appealed to the Judge
for writ Of hdbeds corpus which
was granted. The writ was resisted and
defed by military authority, and Con
gress proceeded to abolish the court,
and in its stead erect the present sup
plant tool of power David X. Carttec,
a Black Republican member of Congress
from Ohio, was selected as a fit Chief
Justice, and his career since has Tindica-
ted the wisdom of the choice His sug-
gestion of the bench warrant to restrain
Gen. Thomas from obeying the orders OF
the President last Friday, and his abrupt
dismissal Of the case on Wednesday, with
the purpose of obstructing a final judicial
decision of the constitutionality of the
tenure of Office act, sufficiently shows the
stuff in his composition We are making
history, but such a Judge viii make a
discreditable page of it.

virginia Convention.

RICHMOND, Feb. 27-Tne members Of
the convention and large audience we're
addressed in the Capitol tonight By Gov.
Pierpont, Judge Rives and Hon. Jno NJ.
Bous. Gov. PierpOnt addressed them on
universal suffrage, and advanced the ideas
Of the Republican party. He denounced
the University Of Virginia az q hot bed
from whence sprung the ideas that carried
Virginia into the rebellion.
Judge Rives advocated property and
educational qualifications for suffrage, at
the came time, in future, ne opposed the
election Of petty State officers by the peo-
pie. The Conservative Convention was
denounced a. destructive instead Of con-
seryative.
Mr.. Bots said if the President had been
impeached year ago there would be no
necessity for this convention now. He sd-
vocaied acknowledgements, especially Of the
leaders Of the secession movement.

CHARLESTON, Feb. 27.-The convention
to-day passed seventeen sections Of a Judi
ciary bill, providing that Judges shall be
elected by the Legislature, and abolishing
District and Probate Courts. The strong
effort made 10 favor of the election OF
Judges by the people failed.
A resolution was adopted rendering the
thanks of the loyal people Of South Caro-
lima to Congress, Gen. Grant and Secretary
Stanton. Some of the colored members
opposed it.
A committee Of two colored delegates
returned from Washington with the infor-
nation that the Republicans did not desire
the election of colored Congressman, and
wished the State re-diyided into Congress
sional districts, with six Representatives
instead Of four.
The convention expects to finish it,
work by the 18th March.
