and, no express provision exists to-
remedy the evil.
Article 122 of the constitution re-
quires all officers to discharge their
duties until their successors are quail
fed, except in cases of Impeachment
or suspension. The power of suspen-
sion is thus distinctly recognized as
residing somewhere, and when the law
is silent who can exercise it 2 Clearly
not the judiciary, aud o Legislature
adjourned is powerless. The excep~
tions stated in the article are in the
distinctive, SO that the one may exist
without the other. Consequently it
cannot refer to suspension as an inde-
pendent act and since the ,eonstitu-
tiOn does not expressly confer the
right upon the Legislature, nor limit
its exercise to that body, it may. in
case of emergency, be exercised by the
Chief Magistrate, sa&
The right of the Governor to exer-
else power not expressly delegated to
him by law is upheld by the Supreme
Court, in the case of Mahan gs. Dubur
clet, 90 An, 602. The appeal in that
case was taken by the Executive, the
Attorney General being then absent.
A motion was made to dismiss the ap-
peal ON the ground, among others,
that the Governor was without power
to prosecute it. The court said This
ground is untenable, the Governor be-
ing the proper representative of the
State and bound to protect her inter
ests.
l have no doubt, therefore, that the
Governor has right to suspend an
officer when in bis opinion it becomes
necessary to do SO in order to protect
the interests of the State.
| Even under our SYSTEM Of Govern
ment, where all authority eIlanates
from the people, the Chief Magistrate
is not designed to be mere automa-
ton, bound to follow none but speciti-
cally prescribed rules,
Elevated to the highest dignity of
the State, he is clothed with extraor-
dinary power, apparently to enable
him to take responsibilities whenever
| the exigencies of the moment require
prompt action, and the faculty of
granting relief is not granted by ex-
4 press law.
/ Under these considerations the court
is not at liberty and it is not within its
province to inquire into the reasons
assigned by the Governor for the sus-
pension of the Secretary. or of their
sutficiency.
Let these proceedings be dismissed
with costs.

The Handsome Mayoress of the
Communists.

Ge1ignd,s; furnishes report of the
trial of Marie Leroy, widow, who was
called "the handsome Mayoress of
the Communists" She was charged,
first, with having, by cries and men
tempt to cause devastation and mas
sacre in the city of Paris; second, of
completely in assisting Urban in his
violence and robbery, of q person
named Landau; third, of completely
in the abstraction of the funds destined
for instruction in the Seventh aron-
dissement (St. Germany. The pris-
oner, who is. a good looking young
woman, fair, with bright blue eyes,
twenty -one years of age, was elegantly
dressed. During the first siege Of
Paris, she replaced the amusements of
the theatres and balls, which had
been closed by the excitement of poll
tics. She attended the various clubs,
and frequently addressed the audi
ences, who were fascinated by her
beauty, and her ready flow of LAM
guage. At one of these, the Pre- aux,
Clercs, Rue du Bac, she encountered
Urbain and speedily obtained an un-
bounded empire over him. After
wards, when the Commune was insti-
tuted and he was delegated to
administer in the Seventh arondissez
ment, she accompanied him to the
Marie, where they took up their
abode, and she appears to have
usurped an unlimited authority, and
to have been the soul of the insurrec-
ton in that quarter, and to have
been the instigator of numerous
RESEARCHES, in which she generally
accompanied Urbain. In one of these
expeditions, that mentioned in the
Indictment, she was accused of having
carried off the jewelry of Nine. Lam
dau, and witnesses were called to
prove that they had seen her wearing
rings belonging to that person. Al
though possessed of no means of her
own, she made herself conspicuous by
her purchases of expensive articles,
and particularly as regards her dress.
A number of witnesses were called to
establish the foregoing facts, and after
an eloquent address, from NJ. Andre
Rousselle, in defence of the accused,
the latter, on being asked If she any
thing to add, protested her innocence
and declared that she would rather
lose her head than be convicted of
theft. The court, after an hours
deliberation, found her guilty on the
first and second counts, with extenu-
ating circumstances, acquitted her on
the third, and sentenced her to simple

There IL a serious talk in Washington
Of impeaching the President on the
following charges:
lst.-Violating international law
and usurping war powers, 10 con
nection with the attempted annexation
of st. Domingo,
2d.-Levying war against the repub-
liz OF Hayti, without just cause or the
authority Of Congress.
3d.-Iufraction Of the Dominican
constitution and our own in the treaty
negotiations.
4th.-Sustaining a usurper in power,
and protecting the Dominican Prcsi
dent against his own people by afford
ing him the moral support OF our guns.
5th.-Failing to protect an American
citizen, aud c%ouniving at his i.nprison
ment by the Baez government lest he
should prove an announcement obstacle
to Grants policy in the Antilles.
6th.--Violation Of the equality OF
nations, belligerent Intervention in the
affairs of Dominica and Hayti, contrary
to the law of nations and the Constitu
ton and laws of the United States.
If there was a pretense for inpeach-
ing Andrew Johnson on the charges
made against him when President,
there is far more reason now-hopc-
less as the effort will prove. President
Grant has most unquestionably violated
both the law and the Constitution,
while all the proprieties of the Execu'
tive office have been defed by him as
in the appointment Of so many rela'
tives to office, the favoritism to his son,
his military household, the Black Fri.
day transactions, &c. But these last
are not so much causes Of impeach.
ment as the facts above set forth, and
which, it is said, will be supported by
Senator Sumner and others. Then
there will be the serious charge of sell.
ing public offices, or parting with them
for a consideration, which is OF co urse
denied, but which a trial for impeach'
ment will either make good or dis.
prove. The President may object to
impeachment, but his friends cannot
afford TO refuse q trial on such charges,
If they could arraign Andrew johnson
for hluntness, and a determination to
use his own power, they cannot refuse,
if the effort is made, to bring his sue
cessor to trial on the charges herein
set forth.-[New York Express.
