WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The excitement
In the city relative to the impeachment,
and the matter incidental thereto, has
very sensibly diminished this morning.
At the War Department and Gen. Grants
Headquarters nothing of particular inter
est ia being transacted, the routine of bust
ness being attended to as usual.
Gen. Thomas made no demand this
morning for the records of the War De
partment, but merely called at the Adju-
tant Generals Office, and after receiving
his private mails, repaired home. He had
short interview with the President dur
ing the forenoon.
Secretary Stanton WAS busily engaged
during the morning signing acquisitions
and attending to other business of public
character, which has accumulated to con-
siderable extent within the past few days
Several visitors called upon Mr.. Stanton
during the forenoon, among whom were
several Senators and Representatives, in
Guiding among the former Senators Came
ron and Edmunds.
Considerable interest is manifested in
the result of General Thomas examine
ton before the Supreme Court, which comes
off tomorrow, and various speculations
are INDUCED in regarding it.
The Secretary of State was at the CAPT
toll for a considerable time this morning,
in conference with the Senate Committee
on Foreign Affairs.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
received telegram from Collector Aber-
nathy of Knoxville, Tenn, which informs
the department that recently his Deputy
Marshals at that place, while engaged in
Selling illicit distilleries in the mountains,
were attacked by an armed force, who cap
tured them, taking the property in their
possession, and holding them az prisoners
until they paid $3.50 each az ransom
money. The Collector calls for company
of cavalry, to aid in enforcing the revenue
laws of that section.
Senior Don Ygnocit Gornez was to-day
introduced to the President By the Assist
ant Secretary of State, and delivered his
credentials as Minister Plenipotentiary Of
Niearsuga and Honduras.
The committee of seven appoidted by
the House to prepare articles Of impeach-
ment against the President, held meeting
this evening for consultation. The general
impression is that but few charges will be
preferred. Requiring but small num-
Der Of witnesses, it is known such is the
desire Of some of the Republicans. The
articles to be prepared win not be present
ed to the Senate until that body resolves
itself into court Of impeachment.

GEN. GEORGE H. Thomas has made
very great, not to say indecent haste to
decline the honor which the President
proposed to confer upon him. He did
not wait to be notified by the President
of his intention, bat as soon as the report
reaches him that the President intended
to honor him, he rushed to the telegraph
Office to beseech Ben. Wade and his
brother Radicals not to confirm the
nomination The following is General
Thomas dispatch:

ate: The morning papers of Louisville an
nounce that my name was yesterday sent
10 the Senate for confirmation as Breyet
Lieutenant General and Brevet General.
/ was appointed Major General in the
United States army for the battle of Nash
vile. NY services since the war do not
merit so high compliment, and it is now
too late TO be regarded az compliment, if
conferred for services during the war.
therefore earnestly request that the
Senate will not confirm the nomination.
GEO. II. TBoHAs, Major General.
Gen. Thomas is very obsequiOus to the
Radicals. He would not offend them
for any consideration He knew they
did not want him to acSept the profered
honor and he exhibited an obedience to
their wishes equal to that with which he
carried out their behests when he came
here last fall to elect a Radical Mayor for
this city.

A LINE Fm0M THE FaTHERS.


In the seyenty-ffth number Of that
compend OF president wisdom-the Fed.
srolisL Mr. Hamilton thus portrays one
Of the dangers to the American system
of government described even at that
day. Il is a portion Of the argument
showing the necessity of the constitu-
tional provision making the Executive
independent Of Congress. The evil he
depicted is now in full career The fol-
lowing is his language: tGts
The same rule which teaches the pro-
priety Of partition between the various
branches of power, teaches likewise that
this partition ought to be so contrived as
to render the one independent Of the
other To what purpose separate the
executive or the judiciary from the legis-
latiye, if both the executive and the ju-
dietary are so Constituted as to be at the
absolute devotion Of the legislative Such
a separation must be merely nominal,
and incapable of producing the ends for
which it was established 1t is one thing
TO be subordinate to the laws, another to
be dependent on the legislative body,
The first COMFORTS with, the last violates
the fundamental principles Of good gov
ernment and whatever may be the
forms Of the constitution, uuites all
power ia the same hands The tendency
Of the legislative authority to absorb
every other, has been fully displayed and
Illustrated by examples in some preeed-
ing members Ia governments purely
republican, this tendency is almost ir-
resistible The representatives of the
people, in a popular assembly, seem
sometimes to fancy that they are the
people themselves, and betray strong
symptoms Of impotence and disgust at
the least sign of opposition from any
other quarter; or if the exercise of its
rights, by either the executive or judi
ciary, were a breach of their privilege,
and an outrage to their dignity. They
often appear disposed to exert an i'm
perious control over the other depart
ments; and IA they commonly have the
people on their side, they always act
with such momentum as to make 1T very
difficult for the other members of the
government to maintain the balance Of
the constitution"
The almost marvellous wisdom of the
sages who presided at the organization
of the government, foresaw the conflict
which the popular departm ent of the
plan of the constitution weuld wage with
the other two departments, and depre-
Gated it as one of the great dangers to
the durability of the system The facts
Of to day are realizing their fears. In.
deed, the identical contest which Mr.
Hamilton thought possible, is upon us,
but it even wears a worse shape than he
imagined Congress, and the legislative
bodies that are assuming imperious
control over the executive and judi
ciary, have not the sanction and support
Of the people 1t is a bold, bare usurpa-
ton and violation OF the known wish Of
a majority of the people
