Under these favoring auspices very gratifying
progress has been made In extending the railroad
track from both directions. Nearly 1000 miles
of the Main Line and cOnverging branches DO
tween the Missouri River and the base OF the
Rocky Mountains have been built within three
years Tho CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD hss
also steadily and successfully carried the Main
Stem Line from the steamboat navigation Of this
Pacific TO the summit Of tho Sierra Nevada and
into the Great Salt Lake Basin east Of the Cali
fOrnia line. Having overcome by far the most
difficult and expensive portion Of the whole
line the probabilities Of the through connection
with the Eastern lines being effected In 1910
amount almost 10 certainty.

Robert J. Walker on the Law.

We print below, and desire to call to
the especial attention Of The World and
The Times, an axtract from the opinion
of the Hon. Robert j. Walker upon the
Presidents right to decide upon the
constitutionality Of the laws passed by
Congress. Mr.. Walker is Democrat,
and stands high in the confidence of the
President. He is learned in the law, and
this is the way in which he disposes of
the sophistries of The Times:-TTrib.
Il called" says Mr.. Walker, "upon
Gen. Thomas early on Saturday morn
ing, at the War Office, and communica-
ted to him in friendly way my opinion
that any such order would be nullity,
and would subject him to serious conse
quences, especially if any such collision
should occur. 1 told him he lad no
right, nor had the President, to disobey
law of Congress upon the assumption
that it was unconstitutional, and that if
this we're not so the President might set
aside all the laws Of Congress since the
ground that they were unconstitutional.
That the President possessed no such
power, because it was not an executive,
but exclusively judicial power. and
that all the laws of Congress must he
obeyed and executed by the President
unless their execution was restr aimed by
the highest judicial authority. That to
declare law unconstitutional was not
only the exercise of judicial power, but
the HIGHEST JUDICIAL POWER, and only
to be resorted TO by the courts where in
their judgment. the act was clearly un
constitutional, and that In all doubtful
cases the court had uniformly refused to
interfere With the execution of the law.
The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1868-03-05
RICHMOND, WAYNE CO., IND,

Grant. To this we reply that there is
also law which provides how Mr..
Stanton may be removed, that one law
is as binding as the other, and that il we
permit the President to violate one, he
may with impunity violate all.
There is no avoiding this conclusion.
There is no explaining it away. There
is no middle course. The Presideat has
assumed the responsibility Of breaking a
lar, Congress mast assume the respons'b'-
hty Of impeacAing him. Not to do so in
the face of this fragrant and insolent
proceeding is to become partner in
the crime It is no time to consider the
party influence of impeachment, or its
effect upon Presidential candidates. We
would rather see the Republican party
candidates and all driven into the de-
serts of Arabia, than to have them trem-
bic one moment in the presence of this
high duty. Questions of expediency
were all well enough so long as the
President stood within the pale of the
law. But now when he presumes to be
the executive, legislative, and judicial
power, when he claims to decide which
laws Congress may pass, and what acts
are constitutional, to hesitate moment
is criminal.
We are sure there will be no hesita-
ton The time has come to cease trifiing
with Andrew johnson. This man who
reeled into the Presidency; who had de-
based his high Office by unseemly and
indecent demonstrations: who has sur
rounded himself with the worst men,
bers Of the worst phase OF Washington
life; whose retinue consists of lobbyists,
Rebels, and adyen,urers; who has pol
luted the public service by making es-
poinage honorable, and treachery the
II cans Of advancement: Who has deceiv-
ed the party that elected him, as we'll as
the party that created him, who has
made his own morbid and oyerweening
vanity the only rule of his administers
ton; who has sought to entrap illustri-
Gus servants of the people into ignomin-
ious evasion of the law, and who now
claims to break that law with impunity
this most infamous Chief Magistrate
should be swept out of office. LET HIM
BE IMPEAcHED! And let the Republican
party show that it not only has the pow
er to preserve the country from rebel
lion under Jefferson Davis, but also
from treachery under Andrew Johnson.
