ssJuDaE BLAGK.-A statement put forth
10 explain Judge BLAcg's witbdrawanrom
the counsel Of the President has become
quite general. It is that he was employed
by Baltimore company to prosecute tne'l
claim for guano island near the Island Oh
St. Domingo, and the President declining
to make some order which the Judge de-
sired him to make, the Judge became al
fropted, and withdrew. The Island IN
onest;on is called "Alta Vele." The Bal
timoreaus discovered it, and, the story
ooes not finding any owner, they planted
the flag of the United States upon 1t, ana
begun to dig guano. The Dominicans ge~
ting ,oindof their operations, and finding
money in the island, drove the Baltimo-
reans away. They appealed to the Govern
ment Of tho United States, and the DomL
means defended their claim in the discus
sion that ensued. Finally, Mr.. SEWARD,
by,a sort of bargain lat which he is great
handy, got possession of the island IN De-
half of the United States: Yet he did not
give it up to the Baltimoreans, but trans
ferred the right to dig guano to other per-
SONS. The Baltimoreans, however, have
continued to press their claim, and Judge
BLACK seems to have carried it right into
the White House. His reception there
resulted as before stated. The guano busl-
ness is largely on the increase about W asn-

wade's Eligibility.


The Constitution provides that Congress
may declare by Law, "what officer shall act
as President" when there is no President
or Vice. President. Congress has declared
by law that in such case the president pro
tempors of the Senate shall act as Presi-
dent. =, .....se E.g =
Now, suppose WADE shall accede to;
the office on the lst of june The same
day the Senate will elect new president
pro tsmpore. On the next:day let WADE
resign. Then who would succeedsz Evil
IDENTITY, the president pro tempore of the
Senate. Whyi Simply in ,girtue Of b;s
Office. Buff he would, then be er,;t,ed
to succeed to the Office, his title mpst' H. va
/ become good as soon IS he was elected
president pro tempore. And if so, WADE's
title was lost 81, the same moment.
1t seems to us to be clear that as WADE
can succeed to the Presidency only in vir-
the Of his office, and can only act as Presi-
dent while he is an - officer ~ of the Sc
nate, no successor can be chosen TO eli his
place In the Senate without destroying his
title To tho Presidency.

Hunnicutt and the K. K. K.

Yesterdays Ne,o Nation is "down
upon " the X. K. X. Its late rebel-seces-
sion editor warns his partisans against the
"Klan." Republicans" says he, I" look
"out for the 'Kuklux Klan.' Remember
"the Knights of the Golden Circle of
"lS6O-'6l. Loyal men must be on the
"look out. Eternal vigilance is the price
"of liberty 'Kuklux Klan that's the
"name. Death in the pot boys"
There is either great deal of alarm or
some mystery here. If alarm, it Is ex-
IRENE. "Death in the pot" indicates
horror. HUNN1CuTT expects to be boiled.
TITUS ANDRoN1oUs probably boiled his enc
mics before he baked them in pies, and
the late secessionist and negro calumnla-
FOR HusS1cUTT contemplates similar
disnosition of his own body with awful
forebodipgs.
Another and more probable solution is
that HuSN1curT's warning is mysterious
way of mailing the newly-arrived Order as
a reinforcement for himself in the struggle
he is about to undertake at the head Of
the f" Political Aid Society,"" consisting al
most wholly of negroes, who are expected
to elevate him to the Governors seat.
The r" Kuklux Khan" can easily insure
him q victory. According to ordinary
prudence, HUSNICUTT would endeavor to
mislead the people and his adversaries by
denouncing his new friends; therefore
there is decided plausibility in the idea.
The "Political Aid Society" and the Ku-
klux Khan combined would sweep
all before them. The latter are re-
ported to deal largely in incanta-
tions, to handle bones with great skill,
and to have a craving for human flesh.
They could, possibly, have no better aux
iliaries than the High Priest Of Hun
nicutt Hall, with his acolytes, the d" bones"
department of the Convention, and the Cam
nibal Chief, DR.. BAYNE, with his fraternity
Of teeth sharpeners! HuNNIcUTT has a
round dozen of enemies in his own ranks
that will be first dubbed, and mysteriously
disposed of, before the war is carried out
side the black ring. WARDwELL will learn
that "there is death in the pot" and will
be served up without "ice." There are
many others who will begin from this time
probably to keep close quarters, and never
be seen out after dark. For if this COM
bination has been formed, there is, indeed,
death in the pot.''

The President and Congress.


The Radical theory Of the Constitution
in relation to the powers of the President
and Congress is that the power of i'm
peach ment is but power of removal by
Congress to produce harmony between the
Executive and Congress! 1t is easy for
usurpers to suit phrases to their pur-
poses, and draw from the very instrument
that condemns them authority for their
outrages. In the same way the devil is a
most pious quoter of Scripture to fortify
bis politics.
Harmony between the President and
Congress was never anticipated by the
trainers of the Constitution. They gave
the President the veto power plainly be-
cause they foresaw there would be differ
ences of opinion between the two branches
of the Government; and that the Con-
gress being liable to act under ebullitions
of popular feeling, the veto would be
conservative check to protect the public
welfare from temporary popular caprice
and passion.
But even were harmony between the
two departments essential, what more right
has Congress to remove the President
than the President has to remove Con-
gressY There is no authority whatever
for one more than the other; and there is
none for either.
The power of impeachment and trial
and conviction of the President by Con-
gress was conferred for no such purpose as
producing harmony between the depart
ments. No man in this country ever
limited at such q construction until this
evil day of Radical rule; and even now
they who take this ground know that
they are hypocrites, and that there is no
authority in the Constitution to sustain
them. The impeachment was prescribed
for !" high crimes" and misdemeauors,"
not for differing in opinion from Congress.
All the Presidents, we believe, have disa
greed with Congress, and Mr.. JOHNSON is
the first ever impeached and that for diff
fering with Congress inferior in all the
virtues which command respect and conn
dence to any which ever preceded IL,
and which to differ from is credit and
honor to any man. . Gaa
But this new theory will answer the
purpose. Indeed, they need not have
troubled themselves at all. They have
come to their determination 1t is mere
matter of party interest and power, ire
spective of Constitution and laws, Of right
and, justice, and it would look better if
they acted boldly without explanation or
apology. .a.s. =

The New York Tribune, noticing the ar
rival Of German immigrants who intend 10
settle 10 Virginia, says: The we'come
a. promise is that thousands of these fru-
"sal and Industrious people will follow ~
a. tbs foots,eps of their brethren, and AID
"in making Virginia what she ought long
"ago to have been, the wealthiest OF the

This prediction, we doubt not, lis very
earnestly uttered by man who Is as earn
estly espousipg the measures Of Congress,
which ustrnecessarily retard its fulfil
ment Yet We trust TO see it realized in
a few years; for the superior race in the
State must triumph, and its wisdom, and
enterprise be. successfully devoted to Che
general prosperity. = ! ii szgg / sTEsi7y
The subject Of receiving and providing
for immigrants-providing for them,so that
they will be contented, and SO happily dis,
posed that their energy and perseverance,
may not be depressed or checked-de-
serves tho patient and enlightened consid-;
Grafton Of our people. aa
We shs.a.hefore given our views on the
subject; but the he: y. gstter cannot be too
earnestly pressed upoE tne puolic s..en.
ton. Immigrants must be S'.sposeu VI -
a manner suited to their. tastes and 2ao..s'
They are not extravagant; but, on o. :.
contrary, highly economical. As laborers'
they are more steady and quiet tnan
blacks, and require that some order ana
system shall be preserved in their Logging
and finding. Quarters, such as may De
kept we'll ordered, and a board that may
have the semblance at least of white mems
homes, in which there shall be enough
without waste, and in the enjoyment of
which there shall be sufficient conven-
tionality to command decorum, should be
positively maintained. However frugal
the fare, if this mode of life is carried
out the immigrant must be content.
On the large farms the hands with
out families should at their meals be as
sembled. at 9 table. On small ones the
farmer will have to learn to seat the white
laborer at bis own table. He will not make
money unless he eats with his laborers and
comes and goes with them. ,---.r
If the farming community will pursue
system such as will achieve the objects
above described, and congregate in neigh
borhoods enough immigrants to form q
community with its social intercourse and
it's church, the tide of immigration will
flow in rapidly. The immigrant will be
content, and of course industrious and
faithful. But if he is not so provided as
to be contented, he will not " stick" but
soon depart and seek another home.
The subject is deeply interesting to the
farmer. Itshould be we'll studied. -~
