srAnrtrso NEws.-The latest news from lhs

STARTLING NEws.-The latest news from the
National Capital has war-like ring to il. The
Preside Mt has made another attempt to kick
Stanton out Of the War office. Stanton, with
Congress at his back, won't go out, not even to
get his meals; and Gen. Thomas, the new ap.
poIutee, therefore can't get in. A warrant for
Thomas arrest, it appears, has been issued, and
the Rump is determined TO impeaeh the Presi~
dent, if they can do 1t. The President says be
will resist the illegal authority ofthe Rnmp with
all the power at bis command. Great excite
ment prevailed 10 Washington, while these
events we're tranepiring. If war ensues, the pa,
triots-the honest white men of the country will
be found uPholding the President, tue Con>ti-
tuition, the Government. With a majority of
hundreds of thousands Of earnest, brave men
North and South to support the President in his
efforts TO maintain the supremacy of the Con-
stitution, the war could be neither long nor
doubtful.
The news, in detail, Of the whole matter as
far as received, will be found under ;he News
head. The latest dispatches are copied from the
Boise Democrat.

REPAIRING NEEDED.-AttenIion has been
called, many time and oft through these
columns, to the almost impossible condi-
ton of our most important thoroughfare,
leading from Walla Walla to Wal!ula. Some
little work, and very little, it is said, was
done on this road late last fall-uot enough
to accomplish any permanent good. Travel,
and freighting, nearly suspended during the
winter, will he resumed on the road in few
days, and we are reminded that several bad
places need repairing Immediately The
Bridge across Mill creek, few miles from
town. Is said to be in an unstable condition,
iu consequence Of one of the abutments be-
ing partly undermined aud the bank washed
away from it by the action of the water. It
is impossible for teams and needs fixing i'm
mediately. 1t will ouly cost trife 10 re
pair now as compared with the sum it will
require if the work is put of until the bridge
is swept away. A log crib put alongside
the abutment in question, properly dlled,
with a little work in shoveling channel
through bar above the bridge. will start
the current in the proper direction and CON-
plete the work all right Look to the mat
ter at once, you whose duty it is to TO do it
Other portions of this road ought, also to re
ceive early attention.

insist upon having General Thomas act as Secs
retary ad interim.
President. Il don't see that they can do anys
thing, The resolu lion itself Is the end of the
matter so far as the Senate is concerned unless
the House presents articles of impeachment
aud the Senate undertakes TO try the Executive
and resolves into a high court of impeachment
Correspondent. DO you think Congress really
will attempt impeachment
President. Il don't know, indeed, nor do l
care. 1t would make very little difference to
me.
Correspondent here asked what the President
would do in the event of the passage of Mr.. Ed
muud's bill of suspension, to which the Presi-
dent answered substantially as follows
'Sir, would not obey the law ifthey attempt
ed to suspend me. The law is clearly unconS
situtional. There is point against it which
you gentlemen of the press seem to have over
looked The bill of Senator Edmunds to sus-
pend pending trial, would undoubtedly be an
ex post facto law. So far as my case would be
concerned, such a law is declared unconsttuS
tional by the very law of the constitution itself
My offence, we will suppose, is the removal of
Mr.. Stanton. That is an accomplished fact.
Any law prescribing penalty for that act
would be ex post facto, and therefore unconsti-
tutional. How therefore, can Congress legally
pass bill Of such a characterr
Correspondent remarked that certain radicals
might argue that a persistence in keeping Mr..
Stanton out of Office, after Senate declaring his
removal is contrary to law, and after the pros
posed passage of Mi. Edmunds suspension bill
would be bringing the question out of the ope-
ration of the ex post tacto law.
The President Replied that could not alter
| the case, as the offence charged would still be
the removal Of Mr.. Stanton, an act performed
before the passage of the proposed law.
In reply TO inquiry as to whether the Presi-
dent had seen General Thomas since the in
terview of the latter with Mr.. Stanton, be said
Yes,' and proceeded to state what bad occurred
at that interview. General Thomas, be said,
waited upon Mr. Stanton, and showed to him
the Presidents order removing him and ap>
pointing General Thomas Secretary of War ad-
interim. Mr.. Stanton read the order and asked
| Thomas whether be would be obliged TO Vacate
the Office forthwith. Thomas replied that bis
| instructions were TO assume control immedi
! ately. Stanton then said he would like to have
time to arrange and take away his papers and
documents, to which Thomas replied that con-
sidera BILE time would be allowed for such pur-
| poses. No time, however, was fixed for Mr..
Stanton to finish his arrangements.
The President repeatedly expressed his utter
indifference as to what course Congress might
adopt on the impeachment question, and in an
swer 20 n parting remark Of your correspond
ent, that the President might sleep soundly, in
spite of Threatened impeachment, be said laugh
| ingly, al don't think my slumher will be much
disturbed by that fear. l shall sleep soundly
and awake refreshed.

PRETENTIoUs.-A gentleman who knows
all about the resources of that singularly
situated aud considerably sandy 'kedentry,
around Umatilla, laughed immoderateIy the
other day on reading the proceedings of a
Railroad meeting, held there recently. He
thought people who had not yet succeeded
in raising enough wheat to induce the erec>
tion of a grist-mill, were very pretentous
IN asking that a railroad might pass up
their "valley." The Umatillaus think, per
haps, "the more the blow, the better the
show"
, 1868-03-06

RIVER 0PES.-The ice has moved at length
out Of the Columbia, at least as far up as the
Dalles, and the boats are again making trips to
that place. Between Cello and Umatilla there
is section Of the river yet blocked With ice
though it is thought the channel will admit the
passage Of boat IN a few days.
