The committee appointed by the House
to prepare articles Of impeachment are still
in the agonies Of deliberation. They are
not quite clear as to what charges shall be
alleged against the President. Some mem
bers of the committee are favorable to
making Stanton's removal the single issue,
while Others desire to embrace the general
conduct of the President in respect to the
Southern States 10 the specifications ofthe
Indictment. The delay ofthe committee
in presenting their charges, contrasted with

the hoped for smooth road to the desired
consummation Of impeachment, and that
obstacle takes the form of Chief Justice
Chase. The Radicals had regarded the
Chief Justice, whose duty til to preside
in the Senatorial Court of Impeachment,
as being SO closely welded to party, as to
be willing to use his high Office to sacri-
fee right and justice to the interest and
malignant purposes Of the faction. The
Chief Justice, it Is said, when the subject
Of the impending trial Of the President was
referred to, declared that he would do all
that the constitution requires, but would

stitution had the usual effect on the Radi-
calls, namely enraged them beyond meas

ment at the conscientious scruples Of Mr..
Chase. They may turn their attention to
