READY FOR THE DELUGE.-That ster.
ling Democratic Journal the Cincinnati
Enquirer, after showing that the late acts
of the President. which induce a renew
ed call for his Impeachment, are clearly
within the line of his power, even under
the late acts of Congress, adds;


Now, be it remembered, we are not re.
sisting the fact Of impeachment. If the
Republican party wants TO impeach Mr..
johnson, We want to be spectator Of the
performance; and our curiosity to witness
it exactly balances our objections to the
act itself We do not care to enter into
calculations Of consequences, nor are we
able TO form an opinion whether the re-
suit Of an attempt TO unseat the President
By impeachment would be ultimately fa-
vorblc 70 the country, or otherwise. We
are very sure that Mr. johnson, by his
recent exhibition, of executive vigor, while
he may have increased slightly the chance
of an impeachment, has stregthencd him.
self against the unfavorable result of such
a proceeding. The Radicals, if they are
more angry, are also more afraid. The
clamor they raise Is less the offspring Of
courage than it is of desperation.


If the President allows this Congress,
or any Congress constructed as this is, to
impeach aud remove him, he Will give
the strogeat assurance that he is able 70
give that he deserved to be impeached
and removed. A constitutional Presi-
dent who allows himself to be put out Of
Office BIZ an unconstitutional Congress,
Will not escape the alternative verdict Of
rtIankihd that he is either coward or an
Imbecile. The sympathy which men feel
FOR the unfortunate will, in his case, be
drow ned in contempt for inefSciency.

Jaws OF Congress. They ask that the Supreme
Court shall declare these laws unconstitutional,
and therefore void; that the Thirty-ninth Con-
gress was, and that the Fortieth is, an Illegal
body; that all the acts of these two Congresses
az least must be considered spurious, the
late Rebel States being excluded from any
voice therein; that the Constitutional amend

On appearing yesterday before the Supreme
Court to submit this bill of complaint and this
prayer for an injunction, Judge Snarkey was
promptly met by the Acknowledgement of the
United States, MIR. Staubery, with the remark
that the first thing in order was to obtain leave
to hle the bill, and he desired, at the earliest
possible moment lin behalf of the United States)
TO object to it, Judge sharkey replied that that
was the motion he made--to file his bill. He
was aware of the magnitude of the subject, in
Volv1ng as 1t did the important and delicate
question of the consttutionaty of Congress
sloDal legislation. But he desired an early de-
cision, as much mischief might result from
delay. Mr. Stanbery was ready to resist the
granting of the leave. Judge sharkey filed his
application, and the question went over until
next otion day, FRIDAY next.


The presumption is that the application will
be denied by the Court on the ground of no
Jurisdiction. We cannot imagine how any oth =
decision can be reached. The petition, ther-.
fore, may result in great service to the South
and the whole country in setting this question
OF reconstruction beyond any further legal
bubbles and distractions; and this, perhaps,
may be the real object of the petitioners. The
arguments OF the opposing counsel the
opinion, which will probably be delivered by
Chief Justice Chase, will, at all events, from
the gravity OF the subject, be waited for with
the deepest interest by all parties throughout
the length and breadth of the land.

Sir Rein was seated in his comfortable leathern

surroundings, was good specimen, in appearance

manners had rendered him generally unpopular,
and he was regarded by theneighbors as the incar-
