provision for that extreme process 1T
a President is TO execute merely those
laws which may happen to suit his con

tions, pray what is the use of having
Congress at all IF President may

of having a War Department at all. and
why not do its business in some back of

The Registry Law.

The Registry Law now before the Leg
islature is good one aud ought to be
passed Immediately. If this law had
have secured the election of a Republican
Judge Of the Supreme Court. 1t is said
however, that sufficient number oi
Illegal vote have already been discovered
in the State in contested election cases,
to elect Judge Williams, who declines
from motives of delcacy, to contest the
election. If, however, such is the case,
and can be SO proven, We hardly think
Judge Sharswood would continue to hold
the situation Il he does, the people
ought to take the matter into their own
hands and see it executed.
The registry bill makes the election
board the registers, and the names of all
known legal voters can be put on the list
without their meeting the board. 1t is
only the doubtful voters who must ap-
prear aud prove their right to vote ten
days before the election. This gives time
to examine their qualification, and also to
ascertain whether their naturalization pa
pers are genuine or not. and whether they
belong to living or dead perss Us 1t also
provides Tor different mode of assess
ment. The ass essors are required to give
in addition to name, the place Of resi-
dencc and occupation, which is an i'm
portsnt feature
lt ought by all means, to be pushed
through the Legislature before the Spring
assessments commence, and we hope the
Republican press of the State will urge
prompt action on the bill. Half the cop

cur, are gained by fraud-PotSViUe

each had right to judge of sits consti

dent, judging of Its constitutionality'

judging for itself, impeaches him for it

Our Insane.

The Medical Society of the State OF
has sent a memorial to the
setting forth the number and
condition of the insane in this Common
wealth, aud has requested the erection of
a hospital for the northern and eastern
counties. and if the finances of Pennsyl-
vania will permit, of hospital in the
counties. The committee
of the society, composed OF such eminent
physicians as James King, of Pittsburg,
formerly Surgeon General, and others, es-
innate the number of the insane in the
State at 8, 800, Of which /, 800 are in asy-
lums, SEQ in the aims houses, leaving l.
900 entirely unprovided for. This ap-
proclamation is certainly understated, and
an accurate census would disclose much
larger number Of these unfortunate suffer
ers. The necessity Of State aid was fully pro-
yed by the report of Commissioner Marion
II. Dickinson. Since then the Grand Jury
of Bucks county has made an examna-
ton of the public institutions of that
wealthy community, and in reference to
the treatment Of the insane in BucIs,
give fearful account of the neglect.
which we commented on in the columns of
the Registey on Wednesday last The
fearful condition of the insane of this
State, as shown by the Bucks county
Grand Jury, aud other sources, should
iucite the members of the Legislature TO

Opinion of fAttorney-General Black.

We quote from the ''Opinion of At
torney- General Black upon the powers Of
the President" ITO the Chief Execu
tive Magistrate of the Union is confded
the solemn duty of seeing the
laws faithfully executed But his power
is to be used only in the manner prescrib-
ed by the legislative department lie
cannot accomplish legal purpose by IL
legal means. or break the laws himself to
prevent them from being violated be 9th
ers. The acts of Congress sometimes
give the President broad discretion in the
use of the means by which they are to be
executed; and sometimes limit his power
so that he can exercise it only in Ger.
tain prescribed manner. Where the Law
directs a thing to be done without saving
how, that implies the power to use such
means as may be necessary and proner to
accomplish the end of the Legislature
But where the mode of performing du-
ty is pointed out by statute, that is the
exclusive mode and no other can be fol
lowed The United States have no com.
mon law to fall back upon when the writ.
ten law is defective. If, therefore. an
act of Congress declares that certain
thing shall be done by particular Of
ficer, it cannot be done by different of
fcer. The agency which the law furn.
ishes for It's own execution must be used
to the exclusion of all others"
If j. Black as attorney for A. John
son, can manage to controvert the above
opinion OF the Hon j Black. Attorney
General, he will peform feat which will
make him worthy to stand beside the

The Republican Convention.

Inc K6pQDllcaN COHttuIlOu.
This body of patriots met at Philadel-
phia yesterday, to nominate candidates
for the Offices of Auditor and Surveyor
General, and delegates at large to repre-
sent the State in the Chicago Republican
to press we had no word as to the doings
of the Convention; but judging from the
importance of the occasion, and the ne
cessity for careful action we have no doutt {
but that its action will meet the hearty
appreciation of the people. We have not
the shadow Of a doubt, but that true and
tried men will be placed in nomination, and
men who will faithfully represent the
Republican sentiment of Pennsylvania; /;
and that, as a consequence, the disgrace
which we suffered last fall In the defeat
of Judge Williams for the SuprcT C
Bench, solely because of our supineness,
will be wiped out by an overw helming
majority for the nominees. The mon
grels, forming the Democracy, hope much
from the action Of the Convention. They
would delight in nothing so-well as a
wrangle between the different interests
for the Vice ce-Presidency = they would
particularly rejoice in the defeat Of Cur
tin. But we anticipate that they will
not be delighted = that Gov. Curtin will
not be defeated, but, on the contrary, in
obedience to the behests of the majority
of the Republican voters Of the State,
that the delegates to the Chicago Conven
ton will be, with great unanimity, in
structed to vote for him. Should such,
however, not be the case, their delight
will be but short-lived. The masses OF
the party comprising at least a twenty
thousand majority of our people, are
fully impressed with the necessity of see
ing true and tried representatives Of prin
ciples placed in public positions; and, as
- measures, not men has. become the
watchword, they will not hesitate to yield
men, in order to secure themselves from
the danger Of being Johnsonized a second
time la the war of the Rebellion 4
bloody and expensive fight was fought,
thus far, owing to the treachery of the
" great impeached," without results com
meusurate with its cost; and though we
should prefer Curtin, because We know
him to be sound at all points, We cannot,
aud the party will not, allow even his de-
feat before the Convention to interfere
with mighty and successful effort to
secure right man in the right place in
November Though We are earnestly for
Curtin frgt, We are for the success Of
those measures Of Republicauism WHICH
alone promise to restore peace, and the
fullness and fatness of prosperity to the
land, first, last, and all the time When
this paper shall have reached the reader
the result will be fully known. In al
vance of that knowledge our sentiments
are fully and freely expressed.
Since the above was in type telegram

from the contest for the Vice Presidency

yention, of Gov. Curtin

that if the Senate finds Mr. Johnson guilty
of the acts for which he has been impeached
by the House, and removes him from his Of.
nee, the Republican party will be over

election.
Then why do they oppose impeach-
