A DEVICE RETURNED TO PLAGUE ITS IN
MENTORS "A year ago, when it was thought
next to impossible that the Democrats
should ever again have majority in that
BODY. the Ohio Legislature passed a " ME-
tropolitan Police Bill" the object of which
was, of course, to carry Democratic clues
for Radical candidates. Now, however,
the Democrats have the Legislature ana
although such acts are said to be unconstl-
tutional, they are proceeding TO ieglsiate
for the purpose of perpetuating me'r
ascendancy. This result, we have re-
peatedly warned the Radicals, must follow
one day or other, as to all their partisan
movements; and therefore we have oeen
surprised to see how anxious the Radicals
who pay no respect to constitutional IN
hibitions, are to have the rights OF ne
gyoes, the public debt, &C., &c., protected
by constitutional provisions. Once more
then, we warn them that the Democrat;
will not suffer any such impediments tt
obstruct their policy. They, too, will
legislate outside of the Constitution when
they get the power. -.

CAsUs OM1ssUs.-The Constitution OF
the United States provides that in case OF
the impeachment of the President the
Chief Justice shall preside over the Senate
while it is engaged in his trial. This
provision was based upon the idea that as
the Vice President would succeed to the
honors and emoluments of the Office in
case of conviction, he would be an inte-
rested party, and therefore unfit to pre-
side. And as the Vice-President is never
q member of the Senate, and does not
vote, this provision excludes him from all
influence upon the question of conviction.
Old BEN WADE, however, the President OF
the Senate, is senator as well, and Will
have the right to vote upon the question
upon the decision Of which depends
whether he is to be President or not
Surely the Senate will not allow sucn
wrong as this to be perpetrated upon Mr.
JOHNSON. 1t would degrade that BODY IL
the eyes of the civilized world, and cause
senatorial honor" to become as famous
or rather Infamous, as !" Punic faith"

The Washington telegram Of the Asso-
c,steds Press which appeared in the city

.-The Washington telegram Of the Asso-
c,sted Press which appeared in the city
papers yesterday morning says impeacn-
ment is becoming Iaughable." Our readers
must take this and all other speculations
upon the Same subject for what they are
worth. For our part, we cannot yet see
where the laugh comes in. tits, of course,
possible that Mr.. JOHNSON will not be con-
yicted. "No one can ellwhat q day may
bring forth" But it is hardly to be pre-
sumed that the thirty five senators who
went into the House of Representatives
pending the question of Impeachment, and
urged the members to vote for it, will now
ego back on % their friends and tools in
that house. This would be too bad. But
this is not the only thing to be considered.
Those who look upon impeachment as
"laughable give the Senate credit for a
wish to do substantial justice to which it
Is not entitled. It is amazing to us that
any man who has observed the movements
of the Radicals for the last two years
should for q moment imagine that they
will allow any considerations of justice or
patriotism, or any other old-fashloneo
notions, to influence their action. Why,l II
these considerations could touch their
minds, they would dismiss the case at once.
There is absolutely nothing in it. Inc
"euilty knowledge" which might give
colorado right to convict him, IS eVioentiy
wanting. There is no sane man VINO eau
doubt that Mr.. JOHNSON supposed ne had
clear right under the Constitution to ap-
no,nt General THOMAS Secretary OF War
nd interim. The Radicals feel the need OF
the power and patronage of the Presidents
Office as q means Of carrying the next
election. If they thought they could sue
coed without such aid they would not
touch hair of the Presidents head. But
they do not think 50. They know that
they deserve defeat, and they are AFRAID
to meet it and it's consequences.
There are some half-dozen Republican
senators who may possibly have character
and independence enough to stem this tor
rent of impeac hment. We should be
pleased to find that even that number are
willing to do justice to the President. But
We cannot as yet see in the action Of that
body itself, or anywhere else, any indica-
ton that the prospect. for the conviction
and removal of MIR. JOHNSON has been at
all lessened within the last week.

The most noticeable feature of the
speeches made at the Grand Mass Meet
Ing, in New York to protest against the
action of Congress in the matter of im-
peachment was the oft-repeated declara-
ton that the orators didn't mean to fight
all they wanted to do was to vote. "Let
the Radicals use the bullet" said one
speaker, "we'll use the ballot" And
similar were the utterances of all the
speakers. This Is we'll. We have nothing
TO say against 80 prudent course. We
merely note 1t as an indication that the
idea Of o resort to arms Is as little enter
tanned at the North as at the South.
General GRANT can assume the purple
whenever he pleases. We have all be-
come sick Of fighting, and "the empire is
peace.' ~
