WASHINGTON. Feb. 81.


The determination expressed by the presi-
dent, Il few days since, to again remove Sec
rotary Stanton, was unexpectedly fulfilled
to-day by his notifying the senate, about 2
j.. NJ. that he had appointed Adjt. Gen.
Lorenzo Thomas secretary OF war al interim.
The fact caused great excitement throughout
the city.
The first animation which Mr.. Stanton had
his second suspension from office was at
noon. Gen. Thomas entered his room and
presented the presidents order. n good
natured conversation ensued, during which
sir. Stanton said to Gen. Thomas: "DO you
want me to vacate at once ?" Gen. Thomas
replied ooh, no. | have notified the presi
dent Of my acceptance of the office You can
get your private papers together and turn
over the department to me- say, tomorrow
morning"
As the appointment of an officer ad interim
does not, under the old law, require the con
firmaton of the senate, and as the civil ten
urc law declares that the senate, when in
session, must sustain the president before
any removal can be carried out, the particu-
lar point ofthe president informing that body
of this change was not apparent. In the gen
eral discussion of the event, in and ont of
congressional circles, the presidents frie nds,
however, answer the inquiry by declaring
that Mr. johnson pursues this course TO test
the validity of the civil tenure law in the
courts
The senate went into executive session,
soon after the presidents message came in
and remained until $50 p. M, when vote
was reached, and resolution was passed, to
be communicat ed To the president, declaring
that the removal of Secretary Stanton and
the appointment of Gen Thomas, without the
consent of the senate was violation nf law.
The injunction of secrecy was removed from
this particular proposition, when the senate
adjourn ed
At $3.50 p. m, Secretary Stanton sent q
message to the house of representatives,
simply stating that he had just received from
the hands of Adjt. Gen. Lorenzo Thomas an
order from the president appointing the lat
ter secretary of war. adj interim, and direct
ing Mr.. Stanton to turn over all the records
and books OF the department to Gen. Thomas.
Mr.. Stanton merely submitted the order to
congress, and does not indicate any action
on his part.
The speaker laid before the house. to day
the following correspondence.

IMI'EA CHNENT OF THE PRESL
DENT

The great bug-bcar Of g impeach ment,"
with which the country has boeu SO long
threatened, has at last bursted in all its
fury. What the consequence will be is
a matter of fruitful conjecture. 1t is
safe to say that the country will be no
gamer by the movement, and that the
business interests will suffer material inju-
ry. 1t is also safe to say that the "party
of great moral idea" will. not, in the
end, be the gamers. Radicalism is
wrought up to so high pitch of excite
ment by the late action of the president in
the removal of Stanton, that it is totally
regardless of consequences. The inter-
ests of the country are, as they always
have been with this revolutionary party.
Of no moment whatever, and the interests
of party are made paramount to every
other consideration. But they will find
that, in this last and most Insane move
ment, they have over-reached themselves.
So far as the democracy are concerned,
they can look on this conflict between the
president and congress, with most supreme
Indifference. The contestants are of the
same household of faith, and are at liberty
to rend and tear each other to their
hearts content. The difference between
the two is, the president has cndeavored
to perform his duty in many particulars,
but, through weak and vascillating poll
cy, he has failed to meet the appreciation
of any considerable party; while, on the
other hand, congress has systematically
over-ridden all constitutional barriers,
arrogated to itself executive and judicial
powers, and has legislated for the perpe-
tuity of mongrelism, at the expense of all
other interests, public and private.
The right of the house of representa-
I, tives to present articles of Impeachment
against the president, and of the senate to
try the case, is not apparent. The consti-
tuition requires that the members of the

NJ T. CITY CORRESPONDENCE.

New YoRK, Feb. 81.
Another mammoth steamship enterprise
has just been successfully established here
under charter from the state of New
York, to be called the North American
and Italian Mail Steamship Company,
which bids fair to occupy as prominent
position IN the maratime and CONNER
cial world as the Pacific Mail Company.
The line will consist of twenty frss-cla IS
iron propeller steamers of not less than
two thousand tons each, touching at the
Azores, Lisbon, Cadiz Barcelona. Mar
settles, and Genoa, and returning by way
of LeghOrn. Naples, Messna, and Pa.er-
ro, back to New York. Victor Emanuel,
King Of Italy; the Swiss government,
and the King of Portugal, are extending
every aid and cooperation to the move
ment. The former has already granted
subsidy of one Hundred and fifty thousand
dollars per annum. in gold, for carrying
the Italian mails As tho line is excu-
sively American, under the control Of lead
ing New York capitalists, congress should
certainly extend some additional aid and
encouragement to an enterprise of so pop
ular approval.
A series of tables has just been pub
iishei to show the great falling off in the
domestic and foreign trade of this city
owing to the results Of unwise legislatio n
and the absence Of the formerly existing
traffic with the south. 1t is too lengthy
to give in full Thus the total imports
for January are little over fifteen mill
ions, against about twcnty-one millions for
the same month of last year, and thirty
millions for January, 1865. 1t will be
interesting to note the changes in this
trade the balance Of the year. The ship
ments are chiefly reckoned at their value
in paper money The specie sent abroad
is given at its counted, or real value, but
all others at the market price in currency.
The total sent abroad in January, exclu-
sive of specie, shows a gain of one million
dollars upon the corresponding figures of
last year, but is far below either of the
years preceding that date The stock of
all kinds of merchandise now in bonded
warehouse is about the same as it was at
the close of last June.
Everything which resembles the Marie
Antoinette style of toilet is all the rage
just now in this city, owing to the
Queens of Society" past fifty having sens
IDLY concluded to wear their grey hairs
rolled up a la turban, after the manner of
that unhappy princess. Considering that
hair-dyes are so injurious, this is, indeed, a
move in the right direction. Powdered
hair, with black eyebrows, are decidedly
la mode among the more youthful bellies.
Blonde beauties have had their day and
season for time at least, and are getting
out Of fashion in the matrimonial market.
Brunettes, with dark olive compilations,
are now more generally admired, and have
the call against all odds, as we say in the
money market.

IMPEACHMENT.
At 90 minutes before O'Clock, the
speaker called the house to order, and the
door-keper announced the presence at the
bar of the house committee which had
been appointrd to impeach, 1t the bar of
the senate, the president of the United
States.

in company with his colleague, Mr.. Bing-

The mere fact that number Of states are
deprived of representation will be no bar
to the action of the rag-taG-and-bob-tail

that where two or three are gathered to-
genther in the interests of "God and hui
manity," no wrong can ke committed.

The landlords Of our hotels bave a keen
way of making money. 1t is the custom
now for them to give weekly hops at each
of their hotels. Supper, music, parlors,
attendance and lights are all furnished
by the proprietor gratis, but it is expected
all the guests will order wine freely, and
pay for It when il is served. The sale OF
the latter nets the landlord quite hand
some profit in return for all his trouble.
The idea is borrowed from the balls of the
nymphs in the side streets Most ladies,
however, decline to attend these balls, for
the reason that the laudlords-insist on hav-
ing some jenkins of the press present to
report their names in full, and how they
looked, danced and dressed, etc, in the
