THE rejection by the united states

THE rejection by the United States
Senate of Henry stanbery, nominated
by the President to be his own success
sor, will not create any widespread
feeling of regret. Stanbery has been
the evil genius of The Administrator
and has conducted himself as u his .
opinions upon the laws had the force o,
Judgments, and were TO be respected
accordingly. He has been fully charged
with all the obnoxious pro-hepel opln=
| ions of his chief, and where MI John'
son could not find satisfactory reasons
for-bfs opposition TO wise measuresi
s,anbery, has always been ready 10 fur.
nisb him with clubbing arguments.
| II will not be forgotten that Stanbery
positively refused to argue the Near.
dIecase, which II was his duty, as the
law officer of the United States to pro-
perIy attend to, before the Supreme
Court. AT the same time he WINS SUI
perserviceably ready to defend the
President upon the impeachment, al
though that was not his duty. BE
took the risk of TesIgniDR his position
hoping, perhaps, that 'ont of courtesy
the Senat, would consent to the sham
and put him back in his place again,
after he had done his service to his
master. The Senate, however, hasre-
fused TO be party to the arrangement
ana Stanbery receives the reward oil
his unfaIthfulness tohis. duty while he
held the office. The general opinion OF
the country will be that he has been
treated exactly as he deserves. 2 4il y
THE resolution introduced by Mr..
Sumner into the Senate declaring
The constitutional rights OF mem
beers sitting as a court of inn
parchment. is one which involves all
the legal arguments governing the sit.
uHtion. The honorable gentleman de-
signs to secure public sanction of the
fact that the additional oath ola mem
Der OF such court does not tend TO draw
him within a corneous shell, impervi-
Gus to the chances of the people, and
beyond the reach of their opinions. II
declares that Senator is a servant OF
the public as much when thus sworn
and sitting as when occupied In bis
usual legislative duties. Another
question is also brought into promi-
hence upon which great eontfafiety Of
opinion exists, ana which has given
rise TO q swarm OF errors. That Is the

4 D1sPAIcH TO the Philadelphia In
qIiirsr says that in the Executive ses-
sion OF the Senate, Tuesday, during
which Mr.. Stanbery's nomination was
discussed. that gentleman WAS severely
handled by Mr.. Wiley, who charged
that he was far worse than President
johnson, as he had always advised
him 70 go TO a greater extent in his ex-
cesses than he had vehtured to do, and
that 10 confirm such man would be. to
grant almost unlimited license to Mr..
johnson to renew his outrages upon
the laws and the Constitution. rsr9
The same dispatch says ''there is
little donbt that Henderson, RIOS and
Van Wrinkle have M atle up their minds
to cast their fortunes with The Democ-
racy." We presume their fortunes"
arc now sufficient to justify their cast
ing them where they please. - i1i 7F
THE vote in the Senate on Monday
Indicates how sadly the Chief Justice
has fallen. Mr.. Hunter offered an
amendment thanking Mr.. Chase for
the ability manifested by him on the
trial. Only eleven Senators gave it
their approval. These included Fow=
Ter. Henderson and Ross, of the dis
tiuguished seven, with eight Demo-
Gratis. Thirty Senators voted directly
against tho compliment to Mr.. Chase,
and thirteen Senators, including Sena-
tor Sprague, son-in-law of the Chief
Justice, did not vote. ,-...-
