The solution of Mr. Sevvard'd prob
lem is at hand. The question will
probably be determined next week,
upon the re-assembling of the Iropeach
mut Court. Andrew Johnson is
charged whh the violation of a plain
law, and the proof that he did violate it
undisputed. If he escapes impeach
ment there Is no power on earth ex
' cept the strong arm of the people that
can prevent him being a virtual king.
Vf iKa .ml itiAn rf a nlatri Ifi iv nn.f n
bold defiance and menace to the people
and their representatives in such viola,
tion, does not constitute an impeachable
offense, then what powers that a king
could asiune would constitute such of
fense. The Tenure Law says the
President shall not appoint certain of
ficers. or remove them when appointed,
without the advice and consent of the
Seuate. Andrew John? on hae rtmoved
tuch officers, and appointed such offic
ers without the advice and consent of
the Senate, but in defiance of the Sen
ate and the sjv. aUiA-ycA.it U-J.td
he will be allowed to go scot-free
through ihe--we will not name it just
cow of me.i claiming to be Republi
cans. The ijw provides for the" elec
tion of a President once in four year?.
Suppose A-ndrew J-ohnsaar sees fit to
defy this ItfwiwhaX Ihen. Is it any
more crimintf to defy one law, than
ajotherf The Democrjcy would all
stand by him in tuch defiance; and then
Mr. Seward'n problem would be solved.
But we do not yet despair. We cannot
believe the Senate of the United Slates
An.n f inf.m. that
one-third of Jje members will decide
that a President is justifiable in trans
gressing and efyiog a law when a
common citizen- would be held to a rig
id account for "doing much lest.
Ctsatue f Heart.
I', must be tarious to the disinterest
ed observer, 'could such a one be
found), to wat:h the various changes
of heart whictt&e Democracy of the
country undergj During tJieVeVtihey-
denounced President" Lincoln as the
greatest political monster and ursurper
the wrld ever produced; and then,
when Johnson proved traitor to the
country they claimed that he was doing
just right and that he was carrying out
Mr. Lincoln's policy of reconstruction.
They are never able to see any good
in men so long as they prove true to
the country; but just the moment ibey
find a man acting the trailer in any
shape they at once experience a change
of heart towards him, and see untold
beauties in his action. They saw no
good in Andrew Johnson until he dis
graced himself and the whole American
people by his drunken harrangue
while swinging around the circle, and
they saw no good in any Republican
Senator until it was supposed ihey were
aboM to betray the Republican party
and the country by handing '.he latter
over U the undisputed control of the
man who has been a disgrace to it ever
since he reeled into the Presidential
chair through a Democratic bullet hole.
Tbey have h tely experienced a change
of heart to-va-rd certain Republican
Senators who voted against impeach
ing the President on the eleventh ar
ticle, but if these Senators should see fit
tojsustainlhe impeachment on some of
the other charges we fear they would
fall from grace in &e eyes of the De
mocracy. It looks very much as if
nothing but treason or corruption of
lime kind could toucn a fraternal cord
in the Democratic heart.
O.M.Y 0.E SIDE.
The vYrfM tays the Radicals have,
during the last eight years, carried cn
a war that cost three thousand million
of dollars, upon ttvesty two hundred

"saying the Radicals carried on the en
. a evil I .
Tire war. xney omy carrieu on oo
side of it- The Democracy carried on

THE RECORD
Tbe conrt of Impeachment met last
Saturday and voted on the Eleventh
article, which accuses Andy of endear
oring to bring Congress into disgrace
etc. The vote was in the negative, and
so the President is not to be removed
for that offense. U'r do not look upon
this as at all decisive in regard to the
oiher charges, as there was strong op
position to the tkveuia ankle when
i was presented in the House. The
ground was taken that free speech
should be allowed, and that Andy had
a constiiu'ional right to mnke a fool of
himself if he desired. The articles
relating to the removal of Stanton and
the appointment of Thomas have an
entirely different significance, and the
Senate has a record on this question.
The resolution by which Mr. Stanton
was reinstated is as follows:
Resolved, That having cotuidered the
eviaeuce ana reasons given by the
President i. i his report ot ihe l2ih of
December 1567, for the suspension of
win M S'.atHon, the Senate do not
concur in such supeii;ion.
It was adopted by (he following vote
Anthony, Cameiou. Catiell. Chandler.
Cole, Coukliug. Conness, Corbiil,
Cragin, Drake, Edmunds, Feny, Fes
senden, Fowler, Frelighuysen. liar
an, Howard, Howe. Morgan. Mornl.
(Me) Mornl, (Vi.) Morton, Wye,
I'atteraon. (N. 11.) Pomeroy, Ram.-t y.
Stewart, Sumner. Tnayer, Tipton,
Trumbull, Wade, Wiley Williams.
Wilson.
On this vote not a single Repulican
voted in ihe negative. Those absent
were Grimes, Henderson, Ross, Sner
man; Sprague. Vau Winkle and Yaiea.
Theu ou the 2lst of February the
Seuate adopted the following pream
ble:
Whebeas, TheSenate hasreadand
coasidered the communication of the
President, stating that he had removed
Hon. E. M. Stanion. Secretary of War.
and had designated the Adjutant Gen
eral of the Aru:y 10 act as Secretary
of War ad interim; thtretcre.
-Jiaoiven. uy jne Senate oMhe Uni
ted States, that under the coiistiuUon
and laws of the United States, th
President has no po-ver to remove the
Secretary of War and designate any
Oiter officer to perform the duties oi
ihsi office ad interim.
The resolution was voted for by the
following Senators:
Anthony, Cameron, Caitell. Cole,
Conkliug, Cragiu, Drake. Ferry, Har
Ian, Morrill, Me.. Morrill Vu. Mor
ton, Pattersen, N II., Pomeroy, Ram
sey, Ross, Sprague, Stwari, funnier,
Thayer, Tiptou, Trumbull, Van Win
kle, Wade, Wiley, Williams, Wilson,
Yates.
The only Republican who voted
against this was Edmunds, who now
sustains impeachment. Thoe absent
w.sre Chandler, Connes, Corbett, Fes
senden, Fowler, FrelinubuysoD,
Grimes., Henderson, Howard, Howe,
Morgan, Nye end Sherman. .
It is ted erst ood that in voting for
these resolutions these Senators voted
that the Tenure-of Office law was ap
plicable to Mr. Stanton's case, and
tfe.at-HnSfaspECtfii"i "g ' L7i7i auu pulling
Thomas in his place ad inteiim the
President violated the laws; and when
Senator Morton spoke on Monday
evening one of the strongest points he
made was to read the resolution by which
ihe Senate reinstated Mr. Stanton, and
ihen called over slowly the names of
those who voted for it. From this he
argued that all whose names he read
committed themselves to sustain the
Tenure-of-Ofiice law, and that the
Senatorial oath under winch they then
acted, was as binding as their judicial
oath.
The resolution above quoted says
that the President had no power to re
move Stanton and designate any oilier
person to perform the duties of his
office ad interim. Ii watt herefore un
lawful for him tu do so. Article 1 of
ihe impeachment says he did unlawfully
remove Siantonand did unlawfully .ip
po ni Stanton ad interim, an J tins was
the basis of Mortons argument.
The Senate will meet again on the
26th, and we see no reason why any
Senator should have changed his mind
in regard to the guilt or innocence
of President Johnson iu violating the
Tenure act from what it would appear
to have been when either of the above
votes we're taken. We therefore hope
for a verdict of guilty, and shall con
tinue to accredit men with honesty of
purpose until they prove to the contra
ry be their aclio&s.
A DEMOCRATIC VIEW.
In speaking of the impeachment trial
and the Senators silling as Judges ihe
Vcici say.-: ' Evidence, oaths, the
solemn duties of a juror to impartially
and fairly try the accused, are never
ouce thought of or mentioned.''
The JVftas being a Democratic jour
nal, we admit it as competent authority
in regard to the sentiments of Us party
friends in the Senate and w rattier
think it is correct. It speaks for its
own side ef the house.
There is one Democratic men be r
of ihe Ohio LegUlrture who wishes to
adjourn. He gives his reason: "I
always go barefoot in warm weather
at home, but I can't do it here."
MI. (; LEAK.
It is one of the mot singular things
in nature that men are more loth to do
jut than they are to act wickedly.
Andrew Johnson is on trial before a
Senate which is more than two-lbirdit
Republican, and every one or those
Republican Senators have declared
most of them officially that he ought
to go out of (he Presidential chair, that
the good of the country demanded it;
and yet there are grave doubts wheth
er enough of them have a spine strong
enough to support them while they
vote for what they know, and every
man in the country knows, to be right.
This is but another evidence of ihe
truth for which we have always con
tended that none but men of the great
est personal, as well as political integ
rity should be placed in positions of
Rational irist.
"OLD URINES IS DEAD."
The N. tional Soldiers' a id Sailors'

tinging a portion of the song com
mencing as above. Republicans are
getting gloriously tired of traitors,
enher to the party or the government.

by Gens. Sickles, Cochran, Stokes and
a number of others, all denouncing
Andy Johnson and the 'recreant seven.'

his acquittal.

Mr. Johnson doubtless has tried to buy
enough members of Congress to secure
his acquittal. But whether he has, or
has not, hi pirty friends, including
the Whiskey Ring thai makes mon y

this manner in his behalf.

GH.trVT DECLINES.
The despatches of yesterday rate
that Grant declines being a candidate
for the Presidency. Thi may be the
case, but we doubt it somewhat. The

authority for ihe statement is the
Washington correspondent of ihe New
York Herald, who is known to be heavy
on eauards. The despatch is as fol
low.-:
The Herald's Washington dispatch
says Gen. Deni states that Gen Gram "nl" otnerwise than simply o ad

ed to ihe President of ihe Chicago
Convention, declining the- nomination

would be his anxiety for ihe complete
restoration of the Union, and as tht-

On Ihursday evening, a irr.i....f.
mteting will be held at Wabash Ave

The Republican special from Wash
ington ihe 17.h jay?: The impeach
ment seems 10 be dead, and ihe Pres
UiZi uuJ nTaTneuJs are ery jubilant.
The principal theme of discussion is
the efTec the defeat will have upon
the Presidential canvass, ihe propor
lions ti e new Chase movement is like
ly to a-surne. and what the prospects
are thai the Piestdeni will keep faith
with the Chase m-Jti and give them
control of the patronage through a res
ignatioii of the Cabinet, and also en
l-r u t the discussion that the manag
ers are confident they are on the right
track, about ihe means u-ed io influence
the voles for ih e President's acquittal,
bjt ihey don't express confidence in
their ut ility to prone the facts.
It will be conclusively shown tha
Messrs. Fowler, Ro-s and VanWinkle
had each expressed him-elf satisfied
with the President's guilt and deler
mined to vote for conviction until some
hidden reasons induced them to change
their opinions.
The Tribune says ihe man who did
more than all others, unless in a pecu
niary way, to secure the acquittal of
ihe President, was Chief Justice Chase.
The 1 1 ih article having failsd.it says
all will fail
The T.mes protests against the Chi
cagj Convention touching impeachment,
and thus making it a party issue.
A meeting of the l"wa delegation to
ihe Soldiers and Sailors National
Convention, was held this evening at
the recep ion room of the Metropolitan
Hotel, it was agreed to fill vacancies in
the delegation trom the soldiers and
sailers present from ihe State.
The delegation agreed to advocate
the nomination of Gen. Grant for
Piesidvtt, and pledged itself to support
the nominee of ihe Repoblican National
Convention, ftr Vice Tre-ident.
The subject of impeachme; t wa.
tailed up and while there was a
bitter feeling expressed toward ihe
course of Senator Grimes, the sense of
the delegation seemed io be opposed to
ihe further action or part in tbe con
vention to-morrow than the simple en
dorsement of the impeachment manag.
ers leaving the Republican Senators
who uoted for ihe President's acquittal
to tbe judgement of iheir respective
States.
Has any reader of a Copperhead
journal yet seen in his favorite paper
an account of the conviction of certain
members of the Baltimore Common
Council nf gross bribery? We guess
not. Does ary reader fail lo remem
ber that not only in ihe city of Balti
more, but in all lha State of "My
Maryland.' there is not an elected
officer who is not a true-blue dyed-in-
jThe-woo' Democrat.
