In their very complete triumph in

splendid stroke cf luck. They kill
Theodorus. demolished his army, get

lust in time to escape the dreaded
rainy season. Theodorus lacked Joe
Johnston's instinct of knowing when
to retreat. Indeed, he seems to have
been ignorant Of even the alphabet Of
military science. Had be known the
merits of the Fabian policy, his might
have been a phantom army to the
British, leading them deeper and deep
er into fruitless toll and expenditure Of
treasure It was greatly feared in
England that such would be the line
of defense. As it Is, the denOunee-
ment is as sweepingly felicitous as if it
we're the fifth act of a genial drama

10 Injoln ths President from executing
she reeonstruction acts in that State
Chief Juseice Chase in delivering the
adverse opinion Of the Court said -
sSuppose a bill fled and the Injunction
prayed for allowed. If the President
refuse obedience, it is. needless to OBJ
serve that the Court is without power
to enforce its process. If on the other
hand, the President complies with the
order of the Court, and refuses to exc
cute the acts Of Congress-, IS It not clear
that collision may occur between the
executive and legislative departments OF
the government May not the House
Of Representatives fmpeaoh the Presi-
dent for such refusal? And in that
case could this Court interfere in be-
half of the President, thus endangered
by compliance with its mandate, and
restrain by injunction the Senate Of
the United States from sitting as a
Court Of Impeachment Would the
strange spectacle be offered to the pub
lie world Of an attempt by this Court
to arrest the proceedings in that Court
TIL ese questions answer themselves"
So they do, and it would have been
a strange spectacle indeed to behold the
Supreme Court shielding the President
from impeachment brought in the
name of all the people for violating
the laws of the United States and re-
fusing to discharge his sworn duty.
Yet just such a spectacle would have
ensued had johnson carried out his pro-
fessed intention Of contesting the law
before the Court.

It would be an interesting exhibit to
foot up the items Of local and munich
pal taxation authorized by this inter
eslfng Legislature. It boasts vebe-
mentIy of its economical nine-months
appropriation bill for State expendI-
Gure. The benevolent institutions have
been provided for on a scale of the
most careful parsimony. All this for
effect. To influence the elections. To
show the dear people what sweet
boon It is to have a Democratic Legtsla-

appear on the exhibits of the State f.

In Newark, New Jersey, about two
months ago, the wife of John J. Mas
ker was bitten by dog, which was
kept in the house. Next day, on re-
turning home, Mr.. Masker attempted
to punish the animal, and was himself
bitten. Six or seven weeks afterward,
Mr.. Masker's hand, which had been
bitten, became painful, although the
wound was healed. A burning sensa-
ton in the throat followed, after which
all the usual symptoms Of hydrOphObia
succeeded, with parOXysns increasing
in violence until last Thursday, when
he died. Mrs. Masker's wound had
given but little trouble, until the latter
end Of last week, when she experienced
an uneasy feeling in the wounded part,
and an unpleasant sensation in the
throat, but the doctors hoped to save
her from further developments Of the
horrible disease

What is conservatism ? When the inn
peachment trial commenced certain
persons maintained that the Senate SIT
ting in trial of the President is a court
and must be strictly. governed by the
rules applicable to practice in courts.
This was called conservatism. Another
set Of persons regarded the Senate sim
ply as a Senate sitting in impeachment.
and competent to prescribe it's own
rules. This was called radicalisn.-
But when General Butler avai1ed him
self of the conservative view to make
an overpowering onslaught upon john
sons witnesses and rigid application
Of judicial practice TO the admission of
evidence he was straigh tway denounced
as making a furious demonstration of
radicalism. And when Senator SUM-
ner and other so-called radicals, hold
ing that the Senate is not "a court and
cannot be governed by the rules OF a
court, consistently voled to receive all
the evidence the President wished to Of
fer many Of the conservatives so-cal1ed
voted with them, thus sustaining the
radical theory. Now what we would
like to know is whether conservatism
believes that the Senate sitting ia inn
peachment is a court or that it is not 3
court? IF it holds the first view it is
exceedingly illiberal and may be Justly
held responsible for the only plausible
charge Of unfairness in the trial and
if it adopts the other view it becomes
radical"

The question has been asked us a
great many times why the Legislature
don't adjourns We will tell you gentle
reader. The Democratic majority an
ticipates the removal Of Andrew John
son and the accession of Senator Wade
to the Presidency. They also appre-
hend that if such an event were to oc-
cur during the recess of the Legislature
the Governor might appoint a Republi-
can to serve out the remainder of Mr..
Wade's term. The session is therefore
being prolonged to enable the Dsmocra-
cy to supply Wade's place with one Of
their own illz, and the State is incurring
an expense Of about a thousand dollars
a day to secure say four months Demo-
cratic representation in the Senate
Mr.. Jewett will probably be chosen.
but after that is done a serious question
VIII arise whether Wade's placein the
Senate is vacant, and whethe, if he eea-
ses to be Senator he can have any right
tc acb as President. There is muchfsr5e
in the reasoning that he accede des to thedu-
ties Of President in case Of Johnson's re-
moval only virtue of his Senatorial Of
fee and IS therefore merely a Senator
acting as President. The question is not
anticipated by the constitution and as
there is no law OF precedent settling it
it may at least be. considered an open
one.

There is one sense, and one only, in
which the removal of Andrew johnson
can be called a party necessity. The
Republican party cannot afford to be
recreanb to it's duty. When it loses the
courage or the VIII to do right, It Is
time for it to die. It's plain duty to the
country is to convict the President.
The necessity for it to perform that du-
" is of the same kind which makes ib
imperative upon every individual man
