E"ThS Washingtou Coup a. etat" ms the
newspapers style the last movement of tho
President on thu, political chcss-board, was en-
tirely unantioipated and therefore caused con-
siderable surprise and no little excitement.
ssinAsys was the all absorbing topic of thought
and La eonysrsation among oil Glasses of the com
munity. Thinking thoughtand conversation
begat speculation; speculation soon developed
iesc predictions and predictions, in the hands
of Dame Rpmor, were speedily circulated as
facts. All sorts. of reports wore therefore cur
rent, and while the opinion that war was in
evitablc, was expressed by many, the more con-
servative and opposite one, that there would be
no appeal to arms, had its ,adherents.e i4
raf mako no pretension to prophetic inspira-
tion,s and consequently hesitate to hazard any
opinion. r seems to me, however, that the
pg9babilities Of the matter point to. tho ulti-
mate, ,if; not a speedy resort tothe tribunal of
driaaS The President will undoubtedly firmly
maiihtain his position, as he is sustained by a
conscious rectitude of motive, and strengthen
ed BY the; conviction that he has Enthusiastically
the, authority llof the Constitution to endorse
his acknowledgements, on the other hand, will
dos fetreat from their illegal, unrighteous and
partisan policy. They have resolved OH i'm
peaohmont. In the commencement of the
trial the suspension of the President is to be
decrced by tho Senate, and q tool of their
party is to replace him. This being resisted,
as Sit win Abe, collision must be the. conse-
quenee. Already both parties at tile North
aelTFgp,;ng, and the temper. both of the Con
stitutionalists and of tho Radicals, is SO fever
ish,, that tho expulsion of Mr.. johnson from
thefWhite House must be the immediate pre-
ldas to anarchy. 'n':n = -'a'
.r,2TChe 2The opinion ! venturod several weeks ago,
that the members of the great "Ringed,
Stfedked and Stripped wero not disposed to de-
prive the State of their services, 80 long as the
supply Of Bills receivable was unexhausted,
has has been verified, and is each day rocciyins
new corFoborqtion: Despite their already pro-
tEacted session. the fit timo for adjournment
and permanent rest from their labors seems
20 them to bio yet in the dim distance There
ere yet many schemes to be proposed, many
questions to be discussed and disposed of, many
speeches and harangass 70, be made, and, last.
hut tozthem not least, many 'shinplasters to be
carried. ~ Already expenses amounting to about
100000 have accumulated, and the now op-
pfesieu Tax payers Of our impoverished State
are to, have another heavy burden imposed.
And for what? To enable dcmagogues, black
and white, to dshonor the State and to make
political capital out Of its degradation Oh,
Patriotism, Rcpubiicanism and Liberty! to

what ignneoble use are your once immaculate
names nance, ,prqsttitpted, qtti Oh, Justice ! when will
thessword be again nnsheathed, thy authority
again asserted, and those who have disregard
ed7or ihsulted these, meet with the retribution
TIER crimes and outrages deserve.
IA, prominent feature in tho present daily la
Dor Of the Club House Republicans is the Gnu
etising in regard to nominations for State and
Fedsfdl positions of honor or profit. These
disinterested statesmen are anxious to monopo

tenttagency of the Union League, the name of
