IMPEACHMENT.

II is understood that owing to the possibility
that the Supreme Court may in some way de-
clare the tenure of office bill unconstitutional,
other charges besides the violation of that act
msy be embraced in the articles. Some of the
Committee favor reviving the charges hereto
fore brought forward by the Judiciary Com
mittee, and bringing il articles and specifca-
tons charging the President with humiliating
the nation and disgracing the office he held in
the Senate chamber on the Attn Of March, 1865,
with violation of his oath of Office in appoint
ing men to places of trust and power through
out the ten States of the South who could not
take the oath Of Office prescribed by the law of
country; with disseizing the recently emancipa-
ted freedmen of millions of acres of acres of the
public domain which had been solemnly dedi-
Gated to them by the laws of the country, and
turning those lands over TO rebels who had
brought upon us the misery and woe through
which we had then just passed; with surrend-
ering without compensation or condition, rail-
ways on which the Government had expended
S+o.oCo,fOO of money and the labor Of thousands
and tens of thousands of men in the army
scheming to keep ten States unreconstructed;
trampiing under foot the laws, and giving en-
cCursgement, aid, and comfort to the enemies
Of the country throughout those ten States; in
using his power as Chief Magistrate to delay
and postpone the collection of debts due to the
United States by railways for rolling stock sold
them on credit by his order, and then by virtue
OF another order issued by himself, receiving
and appropriating that money to his personal
use. Objection is, however. made on the ground
that a majority of the House having voted that
these charges Were not a ground for impeach-
irent, they should not BE- revived. Some of the
abiest lawyers among the Republican Con-
gressmen say that ii is trifing with an I'M
portant matter 10 base impeachment on any of
these charges, and that there should be but one
article, Ezec'tirs usUrpdtion If polcer, with spe-
cifCations setting forth some of the prominent
cases IN which power has been usurped
Mean lille, the more advanced Republicans
are exerting Themselves to the utmost to pro-
cure prompt and decisive action.
