Asks for Imneachment.

Just before adjournment Speaker Hen
derson received and referred to a commit
tee the petition of 7. ]. Deavitt, of Mont
pelier VT, praying for the impeachment
of Ethan Allen Hitchcock, Secretary of
the Interior, for unlawfully and without
trial disbarring him from practice be-
fore the Department of the Interior.
The petitioner states that on the Goth
of April, 1853, and for many years prior
thereto, he had been an attorney at law
duly admitted to practice in the Depart
mcnt of the Interior and other Executive
Departments of the Government of the
United States, where, by long and per-
sistent endeavor, he had attained large
and profitable practice and business in
prosecuting claims for pensions for old
soldiers and sailors and their relatives and
in procuring letters-patent for inventions
of new and useful devices.
He had, ''as one of the sovereign peo-
pie, and as dutifnl citizen, published a
statement of what he knew and believed,
without malice, of and concerning the ad
miniStratiOn of the pension laws and of
the treatment of claimants for pensions
received from the officials in power
Because he would not retract this, 'the
said Ethan Allen Hitchcock, as Secretary
of the Interior, wrongfully and unlaw
fully diGbarred your petitioner from prac-
tice i'll the Department of the Interior
The petition concludes: THE said

late and interfere with your petitioners
lawful rights as an attorney to practice
ard do business in the Department of the
Interior; with his constitutional rights as
a citizen (the liberty of the press, that our
people so highly pi'ize). to comment on the
character and conduct of officials in which
the public are concerned; and with his
rights to have a full and fair trial before
being disbarred from practice in the De-
partment of the Interior. For such un,
lawful action and misdemeanors in office
the said Ethan Allen Hitchcock ought to
lie impeached, for which your petitioner
