THE PRESIDENT 5 INTENTIONS.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Friends of the
President, who pretend to know his inten-
tons, state that before the 18th, the date
fixed for his appearance to answer the char
ges, he viii be fullY prepared to act If ii
should by that time become manifest that
two-thirds of the Senate would vote against
him, he will plead to the jurisdiction and
decline to be tried, and will perhaps, file
hi hs Feadis9ijG FeadiEse9itjjGG They ss9 e tat at at Fl
events, the court will not have an opportu-
nifty to record judgment of guilty, unless
they choose to do so in the absence of the
accused.
ltis also said BY others, who pretend to
fully understand Chief Justice Chase, that
he has made up his mind to withdraw
from the canvass for the Presidency, as the
game is not worth the candle. He has not
said so himself, and the tale may be a
weak invention OF his enemy,
Again, it is said that Mr.. Wade feels
luke warm about his possible accession to
the highest Office for the fag end of a term
especially when not elected to it.
ATTACK ON SECRETARY MccULLocH. GEN
ERAL LOGAN IMPUGNs HIS HONESTY.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Geueral Logan
took occasion, in speaking on cotton claim
to day, to make a severe attack on the Sec
retary of the Treasury, in which he made
the starting statement that the records of
the office state that on certain date there
were eighteen millions six hundred and forty
thousand dollars OF bonds destroyed, when
IN fact there was no such destruction what
ever and that the paper destroyed was per-
feet blank without letter or figure.

one thousand eight hundred and sixty-cigbt,
at Washington, in the District OF Columbia,
in disregard Of the Constitution aud laws Of

army of the United Stntes actually In com
mand of the Departmental Washington and
the military forces thereof, and did then aud
there, as such Gommander-in-C Chief, declare
to and instruct said General Emory that part
OF a law Of the United States, passed March
2, 1867, entitled An act making appropria-
tions for the support Of the army for the
year ending June 30, 1868, and for other
purposes, especially the second section
thereof which provides, amongother things,
that all orders and Instructions relating to
military operations, issued by the President
or Secretary Of War, shall be issued through
the General ofthe army, and in case OF his
Inability, through the next in rank, was
unconstitutional and in contFavention of the
commission of said General Emory, and
therefore rot binding on hun as an officer Of
the army Gf the United States, which said
provision of law had been heretofore only
and legally promulgated by general order
for the government and direction Of the army
of the United States as said Andrew john
son then and there well knew, with intent
thereby to induce said General Emory, in
al
Department OF Washington, to violate the
provisions of said act, and to take and re-
ceive aud act upon and obey such orders as
lie, the said Andrew johnson, might make
and give, aud which should not be issued
through the General Of the army Of the
United States, according to the provisions
OF said act, whereby said Andrew johnson,
President Of the United States, did then and
there commit and was guilty Of a high

from $s647.29 in 1868 to $26, ,o00.7l in
1867. Why cannot we have commissioners
appointed to take especial charge Of this,
selling, buying and building business2 If
there is no political capital to be made out
Of it what objection can be made to the APP
pointnent Of such Commissioners, say four
or Eve good men selected frop both parties?
IF we desired to make party capital out OF
this matter we feel quite satisfied that we
would only need to let the work 20 on as it
is now projected. But this is not our aim.
We don believe 10 sacrificing the interests
Of the county in order to make political
capital Let the hard earned money of our
taxpayers be used with the utmost economy
our taxes will still be hea9 enough We
believe ia all extraordinary expenditures OF
this kind, it will be found most economical
to entrust il to no one political party, but to
commissioners representing both parties in
deed this is the only sure way to prevent
party jobbing 1t also has the additional
advantage that the men who begin the work
have the control Of it until it is finished and
then make complete and final statement Of
their work and expenditure. If it were left
to the county Commissioners, one going out
each year. it might happen, for the work is
not likely to be completed in one year, that
one, two or perhaps oil three ofthe men who
begin the work, would have passed from
Office before it would be finished and their
successors would be comparatively ignorant
Of the original plans contracts &c, as well
as of the expenditures In such case the
opportunities for fraud and deception on the
part of contractors must be plainly evident
to every one who has the least idea of the
difficulties besetting a business Of this kind.
Win not our people, looking to their own
best interests, demand inperatiYely that this
work be done by commission made up ol
good aud experienced men from both par
ties? Let some one prepare bill for thi;
purpose, either naming the commissioners
in the bill or providing for their appoint
ment by the court, and send it to Harris
burg and have it passed before the adjourn
ment of the Legislature

REBEL OBsTINACY.

The new United States Senator from
Maryland seems likely to fare but little bet
ter than his predecessor 1t is said that
General Seheuck who commanded Balt-
more during the war is in possession of some
information relative to General Vickers, the
new Senator from Maryland, and that OBJ
lection viii be made to his admission on the
ground of disloyalty, and that his case will
be investigated by the Judiciary Committee.
Maryland has good men with unimpeach-
able records, but her rebel legislature is Bit
terly opposed to sending any man to the
United States Senate who was not in sym
patty with the rebellion. Kentucky has q
similar record. Both these States were in
sympathy with the rebellion during the war.
Maryland, however, being so near Wash
ington and the main thoroughfare of the
Union armies became too hot for the rebels
and most Of those who could not keep quiet
crossed the lines and joined the rebel armies;
at the close of the war these rebel soldiers
returned and took possession Of the State
and now control her government by the aid
of fcopperheads and conservatives. Kentucky
though nominally in the Union did us more
harm by harboring rebels and giving their
armies aid in supplies of all kinds than if
she had gone clean over to them. Indeed
she kept a neutral position for this very
purpose. This explains the secret of their
obstinacy now in obstrueting the law max
ing power of the government by the elec-
tious Of disqualified men. We hope that
every man who is sent up to the United
States Senate, as a reward for services to, or
sympatbies with the rebellion will be
promptly rejected, until rebels are taught by
/ experience that treason is crime TO be pun
ished and not virtue to be rewarded. Our
gallant soldiers gave treason and rebellion
their quietus on the battle field, let our
Senators aud Congressman do their work as
sternly and faithfully until every vestige Of
the rebellious spirit is driven from our leg

If it were necessary to accumulate evi
dence to the point, well made in public esti
nation, that Andrew Johnson's word can.
not be relied on, it could be found in the
case of Mrs Surratt The court that con-
victed that unhappy woman recommended
her to Executive clemency. During the
recent trial of John Surratt, President
johnson asserted publicly that he had never
seen this appeal for mercy. Judge Advo-
cate General Jos Holt Immediately came
forward, and assured the public that be him
self gave the recommendation, with the
other papers, to the President, and that he
must have considered all when he approved
the finding, and ordered the execution to
take place within twenty-four hours. Here
We have Buell., Holt, Colfex and Grant,
and against the four, Andrew johnson.

A NEW Democratic paper has been start
ed in ST. Louis for the special purpose Of
advocating reputation of the national debt
and is accordingly named The Repudiator.
This is carrying out the true Pendletonian
doctrine All the Democracy have to do
now, is to nominate Pendleton for the
Presidency, aud make an honest fight. This
is the usual programme of the Democracy,
they make profession of principles to suit
each state or part of state. For proof Of
this let our readers compare this fact Of
their square advocacy of reputation in st.
Louis with one of the resolutions they
passed at Harrisburg the other day.

THE gallant Ethan Allen must have been
radical of the first water When he called
on the British commander at Ticonderoga
on the 10th of May, ITS, he demanded the
surrender ''in the name of the Great

Such ignoring Of Presidents, Governors or

Mr. Delmar's mastery exposition of
the deplorable condition of the national
finances under Radical rule has fallen
like bombshell into the eneny's camp.
Leading Radical journals decline to
publish the statement, and do not at
tempt to contradict its accuracy, but
simply resort to personal abuse of Mr..
Delmar. The New York Herald, with
more fairness than its Radical contem-
poraries, says: = q s'a ~
There IS far more truth than poetry
in aolat Mr.. Delmar says, and although
his estimates are exaggerated, he is in
the main for more correct than Akin
son. Allowances must be made for err
ror and Misrepresentation in both cases !;
but it is obvious that the Treasury is
drifting in the direction indicated by
the former, and that there will be a
large deficiency to provide for at the
end of the fiscal year. Mr.. Delmar's
letter came upon the gold market, how
ever, in the midst of bear movement,
and it was to the interest Of the bears
to discredit and pooh-pooh it, and some
allowance must be made for this fact.

The Radicals Getting Desperate.

The following startling announcement
appears in the Frederick Citizen. We
were aware that desperate fight is to
be made in this Congressional District,
but did not suppose5Ethat they would
levy money abroad for that purpose:
1t has been stated by that vile, mer-
cenary journal, the Neao York Herald,
that large sum Of money has been
raised in that city for the use of the
Radicals in this Congressional District.
By full free public discussion of the
political issues before the country the
Radicals know they have not the ghost
of a chance of carrying this district;
and. hence, resort to the corrupting,
liberty destrcying influence of money.
We warn the people against the threat
ened danger. If they would not be
slaves they must remember that 7" eter-
nal vigilance is the price Of liberty"
Let every honest patriot set his face
against bribery and corruption. The
man who would sell his vote for green
backs or for gold should be forever dis
franchised, and is only fit to be slave.
A few base minded men here and there
may be seduced by this bribery fund /;
but such is our confidence in the patri-
otism and integrity of our people, that
we do not believe New York capitalists
of the Radical party can raise money
enough to carry this Congressional Dis
trict. il3 e si'h 5t
