Overwhelming Questions

There was long debate yesterday, in
the United States House OF kepresenta>
tives. on the reconstruction oil which pro
poses to convert the ten unrecOn>tructed
Southern States into one military district,
to be governed absolutely by the General OF
the United States army. The rcvnutlona
ry character of this unnecessary measure
has attracted unusual attention in the poht-
ical press of the country. General Grant,
Is credibly stated, is opposed to it, and 1t is
denounced, in the severest tones, by nearly
all the leading Republican newspapers E.st
and West-snch as the New York Times,
Nnw York Post, New York (ommrctot
Advertiser, Srringfpid Mass y Republican,
Chicago RtpuJ}ican, Cleveland Hnuld
Cincinnati T1m2.erciM and many others of
like high character Yesterday Hon. john
4. Bingham, (R, publiran.) of Ohio, made
an elaborate, but very illogical speech in the
House OF Repres entatiges. ad vocat'ng the.
passage Of the bill: and in the soHrse Of
Mr. Bingham's mmarks, Hon Samuel I.
Cary, (RrpubIlcan,) of Ohio, arose and adj
dressed him as fellows:
"As tina will not allow me to give my
views on this ILL., | design to ask my col
league, when he closes the discussion. four
Questions, anu IL tilcf UC an
swerei my vote will be determined
First. If Gaueral Grant shall neglect
nr refuse to execute the provisions OF this
law. or If! in its execution, he should act in
an Oppressive aud cruel manner, to Whist
tribunal would he be be auenable, for his
maliGaSane? ,.,,
'Seound As, by the terms of the h:ll
the President cannot interfere, can the
General be tried by Court Martial and, if
SO, who can order and who shall constitute
the Court?
Third Nor being civil officer, can he
he impcached? and, if so, by whom, and
before what tribunal?
Fourth. II he cannot be ARA gned by
any earthly tribunal, is he not made an abb
solute despoi?'
The questions thus propounded by Gen.
| Cary contained an overwhelming answer to
every proposition urged hy MIR. Bingham
in favor Of his revolutionary measure, and
evidently put the Iattr gentleman in state
of deep confusion The questions prodnc'

President Johnsan an Consrsss'

President johnson on ConsrssS'
NKw YORK, January 20-fhe Worlds
Washington correspondent, in personal in
tsryiew. With President johnson last week
elected the following from the Executive.
That as the President Of the United Statce
hound by oath TO administer the Govern
me1t according to the Constitution, he had,
defending a principle, found himself singu,
larry opposed BY another branch 0f the Gov
ernment; but he had faith IN the gond sense
Of the people, and a modification Of santi-
ment has ensued.
The Radicals have made Congress a po-
htical mnnstrosity. Having overlenped all
bonds save those oi party and political am
bition, they now keep on, hoping by cnn-
quest in the South this year to ohtaln pow
or more than equivalent TO that lost IN the
North.
He then referred 10 the effort to connect
him with The assassination plot, and said
the leaders in thSt movement ere capable
of employing any measures to get rid OF
him. or shear away his power.
The measure of Congress. he said, was
revolutionary. The proposition to deprive,
BY act of Congress, the vested authority. OF
the President as commander in>chief, is u
direct violation of the Constitution.
The bill Submitted by Mr.. Bingham as
sumes A right of Congress 10 do away with

was convinced that il every district COM

would be rapidly and peacefully restored.
In his Judgment, the speedy result OF this
would be the reorganization Of the whole

In response to an intimation that he wa
understood to intend to exercise all author

ary measures, the President said he intend
ed to do his duty. As to what that dut
may involve, it would be premature, h
said. even to suggest We will leave spe

they arise, have confidence in the goo
