The Indianapolis correspondent Of tho
New York Times writes as follows in re-
lation to the Senatorial contest in lndi-
ana:


"Governor Morton is in serious, trouble
about the United States Scnatorship.-
Several influential Radical papers are bit
terly opposing his election, and The hos
tility to him seems to be on the increase
Your Eastern readers will probably be as.
tonished at this, tho Governor being
heretofore considered by far the most pop.
ular man ID the whole State. But that is
Just the trouble. A good many Of our
prominent politicians are jealous Of the
Governors popularity, and gladly profit
by this occasion to stab him. And then
Governor Morton committed the most uR'
pardonable crime of indorsing President
Johnsons policy in speech delivered
some fourteen months ago at Richmond,
in this State. True, be took it all back
since that time, and he has denounced
tho President in unmeaspred terms
Still, the matter is brought up against
him, and may defeat his election. AT the
same time Governor Morton has to suffer
through the hostility of some Of the Bad
ical members of the Legislature from the
Fifth Congressional District. He is
charged with having favored the nomina'
tion Of Conservative men in the various
counties of this district, and with having
opposed the denomination Of Julian fol
Congress. Julian, for this very reason
is candidate for the Senate. He ha;

It is confidently stated here that the visit of Mrs

The Constitution of the United States
gives to Congress paramount power over the
President by decreeing that two-thirds of
that body may enact laws without his con-
currence. The same supremacy is still more
plainly implied by their constitutional right
to impeach and remove him for misdemea-
nor in office.


Will not mere consideration of these two
important facts, therefore, be sufficient to
enable every American citizen to discern the
true merits of the pending controversy be
tween the legislative and executive branches
of the Government? The full extent of the
Presidents dissent from Congress is bound
ed by his veto power. If that be followed
by a Congressional vote of two-thirds or
more in reafllrmation, what can the Presi-
dent lawfully do but bow in acquiescenco to
this final decree? If Congress err, the re
sponsibility is not his, but theirs He has
fully ahsolved himself from blame, Qf the
people decide that there is blame,) and the
representative body is left to settle with its
constituents


Apart, therefore, from all consideration
OF the respective merit or demerit of the two
plans of reconstruction now before the Ameri
can people, the President is manilestly wrong
in censuring Congress for proceedings strict
ly legal. But when, as we daily sec with
pain and humiliation ior his injustice and
indecornm, he travels through the country
uttering mpassioned declarations OF hostility
towards Il coordinate branch of the general
government, what measure of condemnation
should be visited by an indignant people
upon public servant so reckless and undig-
nificd?


lie is bound by every motive which should
actuate n citizen who loves his country, or
an official who has sworn to support the
Constitution, to respect and uphold it in all
its departments BY thus respecting his ofli.
cial associates he would respect himself, and
gather golden opinions from all men. So
acted the lamtnted Lincoln--and when we
remember his persistent patience and gentle
demeanor under every kind of provocation,
we are the less prepared for the abrupt transi
tion presented us by the present occupant of
the Presidential chair





States to urge, in extenuation of offences
like those we have charged on him, that Ger
tain members of the representative body
had INDUCED in personalities against himself
Had there been less provocation for these,
aud had every Republican Congressman
Joined in them, the Chief Magistrate should
have disdained to reply in recrminatory
language.


But Andrew johnson has gone beyond
mere offences against official propriety or
good taste, and ventured to hint in no du-
bious terms intentions of a revoluntary ma.
ture, if Congress adhere to its present plan
of reconstruction. For these daring menaces
against that body, whom the Constitution
places above him, the American people hold
him sternly responsible. In the ensuing
elections they will according to all present
indications, teach him lesson on the sub.
ject of Presidential power, and show him
his utter impotence when he arrays himself
against the nations representatives.

ment of the cholera, be protected wholly or
In part from the havoc at the disease? In
view of what bas already been said, this ques-
tion is easily answered. There can be no
cholera in any locality unless both the condl-
ton and the cause are present. The condi-
.ion, as we have already stated, ls beyond hu-
man control. It comes and goes in its own
time. But, as we have also seen, the cause is
ponderable, portable, transferable. 1t Is

troll We cannot prevent its travel upon the

being transported in that way. We ca,
however, by proper quarantine regulations,

possible wholly to bar out the cause OF chol-
era by this or by any other means; but We
can delay its coming and when we reflect

assumed the waving outline ola
human form wrapped in the gar.
ments of the tomb. 1t approached
the spot on which she stood and
the features OF Henry Sinclair,
wearing look OF sad reproach,
were distinctly visible to her as
the shade glided between herself
and her newly welded lord.


With faint cry she would have
fallen had not Peyton turned and
sprang forward in time to receive
her senseless form in his arms.


Long, long was it before she re-l
covered from her eath-like swoon.
She then related what she had
seen, and clung to the belief in the
reality of the spectral visitation
with such tenacity, that reasoning
and soothing failed to calm her
mind. Before another day had
dawned, she was raving in the de-
lirium of a brain fever, and in one
week from her ill-omened marri-
age, she was laid beside him whose
spirit she believed had summoned
her to join him.


The incidents on which the FORE.
going pages are founded are liter
ally true. That the supernatural
visitation was the offs pring of an
overwrought imagin alton and su-
perstitious mind, a real case Of
monomania, there can be little
doubt. The vagaries of an excited
imagination are producing results
ON Mormons and Millerites, quite
as inexplicable to sober reason as
the catastrophe ofThe Broken Vow.

which lights up the other portions Of
