Neva Era, and purports to oe written ty a reoei :j Ajr Bonnie Blue Flag. Old Maine to California sends - The welcome, welcome word, And Northward rolling to the South The swelling cry is heard ; And men of every age and race Have caught the glorious shout. Hurrah, hurrah, for General Grant, And fling his banner out. Hurrah, hurrah ! For General Grant, hurrah ! Hurrah for the Union Flag . With every Southern Star. The wave of Reconstruction rolls From old Virginia's hills, Acrowi the South to Texas plains, And every bosom thrills. When this Is done, we'll join the fight; And it Is our intent To hoist theiaine of General Grant And make him President, Hurrah, hurrah ! etc. We'll swear upon the sword of Lee, IicfcM our Jackson's grave, , TobatUo only for the ruutn Who can the Union save, Bv all the blood the war has shed. By all we hope to be, We'll rally to the standard now That keeps the people free. Hurrah, hurrah, etc. Thcv're rallying North and East s.nd We'll rally in the South, West With ringing shouts for General Grant Upon each patriot mouth. Hurrah for Grant ! the shouts must roll From every Union lip. And every man must rally now To man the Union ship. Hurrah, hurrah, etc Opinion of Hon. Thomas W. Tipton, ol Acorasua, In the case of the Impeachment of Andrew Johmon, President of the United States. When the act regulating the tenure of civil offices passed Congress on . 2d day of march, 1867, Edwin M. Stanton was Secretary of War. having been appointed to said office by Mr. Lincoln and confirmed by the Senate January 15, 1S62, and commissioned to hold the office "during the pleasure of the President of the United States for the time being." The first section of the act is as follows : "That every person holding any civil office to which he has been ap pointed, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and every per son who shall hereafter be appointed to any such office, and shall become duly qualified to act therein, is and shall be entitled to hold such office until a successor shall have been in like manner appointed and duly qual ified, except as herein otherwise provi ded: Provided, That the Secretaries of State, of the Treasury, of War, of the Navy, and of the Interior, the Postmaster General, and the Attorney General, shall hold their offices respect ively for and during the term of the President by whom they may have been appointed, and one month there after, subject to removal by and with the ad vice and consent of the Senate." Before the passage of the above re cited section the only limit to aSecre tarjT's term was the pleasure of the President; but it was determined to make the termination definite, and i hence we ' have a time specified be- yond which it could not extend, name ly, one month after the expiration of the term of the President Dy whom appointed. The question relative to the Secre tary of the Interior to be settled, would be: How" long will his commission run? while the answer would be, just one month after the termination of the term of Mr. Johnson, by whom he was, by the advice and consent of the Senate, appointed. So his term would expire on the 4th day of April, 1869, which would be the end of one month after the expiration of Mr. Johnson's term, in ca.e he filled the full unexpired term of Mr. Lincoln, lie being in office on the 2d of March, 1867, under a commission which was a precise copv of Mr. Stanton's I woud look forward not backward to find the period of time when the law would put an end to his term of office, unless sooner removed by and with the ad vice and consent of the Senate, To find the limit of Mr. Stanton's term I would look forward also, and as he Is serving with the Secretary of the Interior, upon the same term, and under the same identical commission, I would declare him liable to removal by force of law, just as one month shall have passed after the expiration of the term, which is being served out alike by himself and the Secretary of the Interior. To the objection that the Secretary of the Interior was appointed by Mr. Johnson, alid is serving out his term, while Mr. Stanton was appointed by Mr. Lincoln, whose term had expired nearly two years lxjfore the date of the act limiting terms, I reply that the terms of these Secretaries are one and the same, and there is no period of time subsequent to the date of the act at which one Secretary shall retire in advance of another. In regard to Mr. Stanton's term having expired according to the lim itations of this law, one month after the death of Mr. Lincoln, I deny the proposition: first, because the law was not in existence until about two years subsequent to the event. Second, be cause it could not, on the 2d day of March, 18G7, act back and produce a vacancy in an office already filled, every act of which has been regarded valid by every branch of the Govern ment. Third, because Mr. Stanton has been in office ever since the date of the law, and is still performing the functions ofSccretary of war. As Mr. Johnson received from Mr. Lin coln the War Office with its Secretary, just as he received each one of the other Departments of Government with its Secretary, each and all of them with subsequent appointments must be regarded as of liis own appoint ment, for all purposes of the civil-tenure act ; and as ft is impossible to re move a portion in the past and the balance In the future, they must all share the same fate and be subject to the same limitations. Hereafter there will be no trouble in construing the law, for one month subsequent to the termination of a President's term will vacate every Secretaryship ; and if this act had been in force at the time of Mr. Lin coln's death Mr. Johnson would have had all the heads of Departments at hi3 disposal one month thereafter. To claim, therefore, that Mr. Johnson can remove Mr. Stanton without the consent of the Senate is to affirm an impossiblity, inasmuch as the only period of t ime at which a President can get clear of a Secretary independent of the Senate is at the end ofa month sub sequent to the end ofa President's term. And unless Mr, Johnson will receive a re-election he shall never reach that official hour in which Mr. Stanton would vacate, by fore of law, one month subsequent to the expiration of Mr. Johnson's term. But if he should ever reach a second inauguration, and the month had expired, and Mr. Stan ton was Inclined to remain, he could demand hia removal independent of the Senate, on the grounds that having received him when he received Mr. Lincoln's term, antt having adopt ed him as the legal head of the ar Department, and allDepartmenta hav ing indorsed the legality of his acts to the last hour of his previous term.Uie Secretary must be regarded in the light of one of his original appointments and retire accordingly. . By every reasonable rule of con- struction it seems perfectly plain that Mr. Stanton has not been removed by force of the civil-tenure act, and con sequently is entitled to its protection, which wa3 accorded to him by the Senate when they restored him susp ension by their vote of January 13, 1803. Having attempted to accomplish that, independent of the Senate, which he failed to secure when admitting the constitutionality of the act by yielding to its provision for suspensions, the President has certainly been guilty, 3 charged in the first article, of a4 'high misdemeanor in office." - The nlea which lie muces in hia ans wer, that he does not believe th&act of jUarcn z, Ibb, consuiuuonai, ciumoi avail him, since, when Congress passed the act and laid it before him for his signature, he having vetoed it, it was then passed over the veto by three fourths of each branch of Congress the provision of the Constitution beingthat a bill passed by two thirds of each House over the President's veto "shall become a law." Having thus become a law, he had no discretion but to en force it as such; and by disregarding it merited all the penalties thus incured He is not to be shielded behind the opinions of his Cabinet, although they may have advised him to disregard the law, since their only business is to en force and obey the laws governing their several Departments, and neither to claim or exercise judicial functions. The plea of innocent intentions is certainly not to vindicate him for hav ing violated a law, for every criminal would be able to plead justifiable mot ives in extenuation of punishment, till every law was broken and every barrier of safety swept aside. The strongest possible case that can be stated would be that of a Senator who migh have declared his belief of the unconstitutionality of the act of March 2, 1867, before its passage over the veto, and now being called upon to decide upon the right of President to disregard the provisions of this same act. I hold that he would be bound by his oath of office to demand of the President obedience to its provisions until such time as it should be repealed by Congress or annulled by the decis ion ofa cou rt of competent j urisd ict ion. The President must take care that the laws are faithfully executed. It is verv astonishing that the Presi dent should deny that Mr. Stanton is protected inpffice by the civil-tenure act, after having suspended him from office under that act on the 12th of August, 1887, and having reported him to the Senate under the same act as being legall suspended, and having, under a special provision of the same act, notified the Secretary of the Treas ury of his action in the premises; for unless he was legally Secretary of War he was not subject to such suspension. ;It has been argued that as Mr. Stan ton has continued to occupy the War Office, and the removal has not been entirely completed, the penaltv for re moval cannot attach ; but Mr. Johnson receives Gen. Thomas as Sec. of War at his Cabinet meetings, thus affirm ing hi3 belief that Thomas is entitled to be accredited as such. It shouldbe remembered, in this connection, that it is a high misdemeanor to attempt to do an act which is a misdemeanor. The removal of Mr. Stanton against law would be a high misdemeanor, and a persistent effort in that direction, issuing orders, withdrawing associa tion from him, and accrediting another does, in my opinion, constitute a high misdemeanor. By article two he stands charged, during the session of the Senate, with having issued a letter of authority to Lorenzo Thomas, authorizing him and commanding him to assume and exercise the functions of the Depart ment of War, without the advice and consent of the Senate, which is charged to have been in violation of the express letter of the Constitution and or the act of March 2, 1867. Of his power to appoint the Constit ution, article two, section two. says : "He shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate 6hall ap point." In this case he claimed a vacancy to which he might appoint independent of the Senate, while the Constitution affirms that the President shall have power to fill up all vacaucies that may happen during "the recess of the Sen ate' not during its session. It is only necessary to quote the charge, the text of the Constitution, and his own admission in his answer, that he "did issue and deliver the writing as set fourth-in said second amcie, in oruer to establish tiie com mision of an unconstitutional act." But the language of the act of March 2, 1867, is equally explicit. It affirms in section six "That every removal, appointment, or employment made, had or exercised contrary to the provisions of this act, the making, sealing, countersigning, or Issuing of any commission or lettter of authority for or in respect to any such appointment or employment, shall be deemed, and are hereby de clared to be, misdemeanors; and upon trial and conviction thereof every por son guilty thereof shall be punisi acd by line not exceeding $10,0X), or by imprisonment not exceeding five years or both said punishments, in the dis cretion of the court." If Mr. Stanton was protected by the first clause of section one, the issuing of the letter to Thomas drew upon the author the penalty ; but if he was cov ered by the proviso, the vacancy had nothappened and the consequence was the same. And it the President, dur ing session of the Senate, can remove one officer and appoint ad interim, so may remove any or all, and thus usurp Departments and offices, while the people seek in vain for the restraining and supervising power of a prostrate and isulted tribunal. The first article, affirming the illegal removal of Secretary Sianton ; the second, charging the illegal issue of the authority to Thomas, and the third, affirming ad interim appointment of General Thomas, admitted as facts and established by evidence' are the found ations of the whole impeachment sup erstructure. The fourth, relative to an unlawful conspiracy with respect to intimidat ing the Secretary of War; the fifth affirming acombination to prevent the execution of a law; the sixth, charg-1 ing a conpiracy to seize and possess the property of tha War Department in violation of an act of 1861 ; the sev enth, charging a like intent in violat ion of an act of 1867; and the eigth, charging the appointment of Thomas with intent to control the disburse ments of the War Department, are all more or less incidental acts, springing from or tending to the same criminal foundation charges, and may or may not be considered established without affecting the ordinal articles. If, how ever, the first three are not sustained. these will not be likely to receive more man a passing notice. The ninth article chanres the nresi dent with having instructed General Emory that that part of a law of the UniteStates, which provides that "all instructions relative to military operations by the President or Secre tary of War shall be isued through the General of the Army, and, in case of nis inability, through the next in rank.' was unconstitutional and in contrav- tion of the commission of said Emorv. in order to induce him to violate, the laws and military orders. It appears that while General Emory was acting under a commission requir ing him toobserve and follow such orders and directions as he should re ceive from the President and other off icers set over him bylaw, an ! rrder reached him embodying section ol law, which law had been previously- ap proved by she President himself but, as it provided that. orders from the President and Secretary of War should be issued through the General of the Army, or next in rank, and the Presi dent being engaged to remove the Sec retary of War and thwart the action of the Senate, in a discussion with Gen eral Emory, as to his duty as an officer, said, "This (meaning the order) is not in conformity with the Constitution of the United States, which makes me Commander-in-Chief, or with the terms of your commission." While General Emory was inclined to obey the order the President could not com mand him but through GeneralGrant's hcadqurters, and thus would have to make public his military orders ; but, if General Emory could be made to believe the order was in conflict with his commission and the Constitution, and could be induced to disregard it, then the President could secretly issue orders to him and accomplish his de signs. He could only have desired to cause General Emory to see his duty in such light as to disregard this legal order, and, if Emory had yielded to his construction of law and Constitut ion, he could have sheltered himself under his commission and trampled the law under foot. This effort to tamper with an officer who was obeying the law of his Govern ment is characterized very mildly by the charge of reprehensible. It should be made a crime of serious magnitude for a President to command a military officer to violate a law which was pro mulgated in orders, in accordance with all the forms of national legislat ion. In this case the experiment upon the officer's fidelity andrirmness seems to have gone no further than to discov er that General Emory could not be tampered with, and then the effort was dropped on the very verge of crim inality. The tenth article charges the President-with having, at Washington City, Cleveland, Ohio, and St. Louis, Mo., indulged in lauguage tending to bring into disgrace and ridicule, con tempt and reproach, the Congress of the United States, which utterances were "highly censurable in any, and peculiarly indecent and unbecoming in a Chief Magistrate." Under ordinary circumstances I would allow the utmost latitude of speech, and never attempt to apply a corrective only where the crime be came magnified by virtue of the pecul iar surroundings. "if the President had gone upon the stump with inflamma tory language in order to assist in leading or driving States out of the Union, then I would hold him re sponsible for the charter of his act. And when the very life of the nation is im periled b3' the absence of ten States, and all legal efforts aremaking to in duce their early return, if I fine him denying the legal and constitutional authority of Congress, and charging disunion, usurpation, and despotism upon the representatives of the loyal people, thus strengthening the evil passions of malcontents and rebels, on account of the tendency of his teach ings, I shoulrnot hesitate to declare his conduct a high misdemeanor. For the reason just siecified I would find him guilty of a misdemeanor on the evidence sustaining the first alle gation of the eleventh article, which charges him with denying the author ity of Congress to propose amendments to the Constitution. I would also hold him responsible for devising means by which to prevent Edwin M. Stanton from resuming the functions of Secre tary of War on the Senate having voted his restoration from the Presi dent's suspension, And of his guilt relative to impeding the proper ad ministration of the reconstruction laws of Congress, by discouraging and em barrassing officers of the -law, and using suclvdefiant language as had all the force of Commands upon rebels, I have not the shadow of a doubt. The only matter of astonishment is that an Executive so unscrupulous and so defiant of co-ordinate power has been allowed so long t defy the peo pcl's representatives and defeat the solemnly-expressed enactments of their will. Believing that the stability of gov ernment depends upon the faithful enforcement of latf , and the laws of a republic being a transcript of the peo ple's will, and always repealable by their instruction or change of public servants, I would demand their enfor cement by the President, in dependent of any opinion of his relative to necessity, propriety, or constitution ality. , Another Wonder of the Age. The Suez canal, already passable to boats, will be completed in 1870: It will work wonders in the East, and changes to all mankind. Once the trade- between East and West went by Alexandar, then so renowned, through Egypt and the Bed Sea; when through the same way Venice maintained heropulence, until Henry of Portugal sent Vasco de Gama to discover a rival route by the Cape of Good Hope and the Indian Ocean. The commerce of West and East went that way, and Venice and Alexandria lost their importance. But this canal must bring about another great world change, the transit from West to East and vice versa, by way of Egypt. Al ready the town of Suez has a popula tion of twenty-five thousand. This is its emljouchure from the Red Sea, with the grand pier extending farand wide into a harbor vast and sure enough for five hundred ships. There is a magnificent dry dock already compleated, the foundations for great buildings immense constructions both for dredging out the sea and fill ing it up. There manufactories are rising as if by magic. Along the route are Drettv villages, blooming with their little gardens, and the prattle of little children is heard amid the hum and cheer of happy industry, where a few years ago all was desert, fulfilling the Scripture prophecy that the soli tary place shall be made glad, and the wilderness blossom as the rose. The Suez canal will be one of the wonders of the world, and wonderful changes will be wrought by it. JULY 16, 1868. t"1H'HI' Written for the Advertiser. WOMAN'S RIGHTS.

Nominations of Chicago Conrnrtion. From the London Dally News, June 4th. There are some circum stances which render the nomination of General Grant singularly oppor tune. He i3 not a politician, and the nation is tired of politicians. He is a soldier, with a soldier's ideas of duty, but with a civilian's respect for legis lative authority and the national will. He has probably no definite policy of his own ; but it is of a lJresiaent wuh a policjf that the republic is suffering. He is accustomed to obey, as well as to rule; and it is a President who will do its work and obey its behests whom the nation needs. The fact that after, by turns, exciting the supicion he has won the confidence of all parties, proves his fitness for the highest post in the commonwealth. A President should be a practical statesman, not a theorist a man of deeds rather than of words; the executivo of the nat ional will, not the apostle of his own self-will. lie has no right to a policy ivhich is not the policy of the nation, and in his office he belongs neither to his party nor to himself, but to the nation which has elected him to its temporary headship. It is the best recommendation of General ("rant that he will probably make a national rather than a party President ; and should his election once more lift the office ever so little above the self-assertion of Johnson's administration, or the party narrowness of so many of his predecessors, it may restore the waning influence of the Presidency, and begin an era of peace and recon ciliation in the nation. It is curious to observe the irresisti ble advance of General Grant to the position he now occupies. Ever since Ir. Lincoln's death he has been spok en of for the next President, but he lias never, in any way, put himself forward for nomination. Instead of canvassing for himself, as so many of his predecessors have done, he lias refused even to submit to examination. I lis habit of reticence has been a puz zle to the ioliticians and an immense affliction to the correspondents of party journals. He was misunderstood during the war, and would not ex plain himself; he has been more mis understood since the peace, and has left the explanation to events. All parties in turn have claimed him, and all parties have spoken of him as their Presidential candidate. In the autumn of 1866 Mr. Johnson paraded him as his companion in the celebrat ed Northwestern tour. In the au tumn of last year, when the first guns of the electoral strugle began to be heard, he was nominated by the partv which supported Mr. Johnson's pol icy, and was paraded by them as the people's candidate. He was supposed to be neither one .thing nor the other, neither for Congress nor for the Pres ident, neither for the North nor the unconditional reconstruction ; but only for peace as quickly as possible. Reconstruction at any price was sup posed to be his motto, and the advoca tes of hastilly patching up the Union regarded him as their coming man. Meanwhile the Republicans who were talking of Mr. Chase, Mr. Wade and Mr. Colfax, were luke-warm about General Grant. He would not be put through his catechism, would not commit himself to anything but pract ical duty, and they were as willing to suspect his silence as the Democrats were willing to trut it. But it was not the first service Mr. Johnson ren dered the Republican party when he put General Grant's loyalty to Con gress to a practical test. As the Gen eral would not declare against his policy, Mr Johnson tried to use him to carry it out. and thus forced the declaration which neither private friends nor public appeals had been able to draw forth. From that time General Grant has more and more regained the confidence of the Hep-' ublican party, and has only lost that of the Johnsonites and Democrats. Circumstances have, in fact, forced him upon the Republican party, and have rendered his unanimous nomi nation as their candidate their only course. But that nomination is an other proof of the ascendancy of the moderate section over the extreme Radicals, of which so many examples have been give. GeneralGrant is the representative of the moat moderate section of the Republican party, and his unanimous acceptance as the candi date of the whole party is a" proof of its restored harmony, and aguarantee of its success. He will probably be elected by a vote in which all the States will share, for the lirst tune since Mr. Lincoln's fust election, and will be the first Republican President who will preside over an undivided Union.

The most difficult branch of it which is now erenerallv implied when chromos are spoken of is the art of i .'i. -I ni reprouucnig on pamuii. v iien a cliromo is made by a competent hand, it presents an exact counterpart of the original painting with the delicate gradations of tints and shades, and with much of the spirit and tone ofa production of the brush and pallet. To understand how chromos.are made, the art of lithography must first be briefly explained. The stone used in lithographing is a species of lime-stone found in Bavaria, . and is wrought into thick slabs with finely polished surface. The drawing is made upon the slab with a sort of col ored soap, which adheres to the stone, and enters into a chemical combinat ion with it after the application of certain acids and gums. When the drawing is complete, the slab is put in press, and carefully dampened with a sponge. The oil color (or ink) is then applied with a common print er's roller. , Of course, the' parts of the slab which contain no drawing, being wet, resist the ink ; while the drawing itself, being oily, repels the water, but retains the color applied. It is thus that without a raised sur face or incision as in common print ing wood cuts, and steel engravings lithography produces printed draw ings from a perfectly smooth stone. In a chroma, the first proof is a light ground tint covering nearly all the surface. It has only a shadowy re semblance to the completed picture. It is in fact rather a shadow than an outline. The next proof, from the second stone, contains all the shades of another color. This process is re peated again and again and again ; occasionally, as often as thirty times. We saw one proof, in a visit to Mr. Prang's establishment, a group of cattle; that had parsed through the press twelve times ; and it still bore a srreater resemblance to spoiled col ored photograph than to the charmin g picture which it subsequently became. The number of impressions, however, docs not necessarily indicate the num ber of colors in a painting, because the colors and tints are greatly mult iplied by combinations created in the proccess of printing one over another. In twenty-five impressions, it is some times necessarv and Possible to pro duce a hundred distinct shades. The last impression is made by an engraved stone, which produces that resemblance to canvass noticeble in all of Mr. Prang's finer specimens. English and German chromo.s, as a rule, do not attempt to give this de licate final touch, although it would seem to be essential in order to make a perfect imitation of a painting. The paper used is white, heavy "plate paper." of the best quality. which has to pass through a heavy press, sheet by sheet, belore its sur face is fit to receive an impression. The process thus briefly explained, we need hardly add, requires great skill and judgment at every stage. A single error is instantly detected by the practiced eye in the finished speci men. The production or a enromo, if it is at all complicated, requires several months sometimes several years of careful preparation. The mere drawing of the different and en-tirely-detatched parts on so many di ferent stones isol itself a wotk that re quires an amount of laborand a degree of skill, which, to a person unfamiliar with the process, would appear incred ible. Still more difficult, and need- ! ing still greater skill, is the process of coloring.' This demands a knowledge j which artists h ive hitherto almost ex clusively monopolized, and, in addi tion to it, the practical familiarity of a printer with mechanical details. 'Dry ing and' registering,' are as important branches of I lie artofmakingchromos a? drawing and coloring. On pnrpcr registering, for example, the entire possibility of producing a picture at every stage of its progress depends Registering' is that part ot a press man's work which con.si.sts in so ar ranging the paper in the press, that it shall receive the impression in exact ly the same spot on every sheet. In book work, each page must be ex actly opposite the page printed on the other side of the sheet, in order that the rmpression, if on thin paper ma- not 'show through.' In newspaper work this is of less importance, and often is not attended to with any spec ial care. But in chromo-lithography thedifferenceofahair's-breadth would spoil a picture, for it would hopelessly mix the colors. After the chromo has passed through the press, it is embossed and varnish ed, and then put up for the market. These final processes are for the pur pose of breaking the glossy light, and of softening the hard outlines which the picture receives from the stone, which imparts to it the resemblance of a painting on canvas. Mr. Pranr bejjan his business in tne humblest way, but has rapidly increas ed his establishment, until he now employs fifty workmen, nearly all of them artists of the most skillful class, and is preparing to move into a larger building at Roxbury. Ha uses eighteen presses; and his sales r i are enormous, ms catalogue now embraces a large number of Album Cards, about seventy sets of twelve in each set ; a beautiful series of illumin ated 'Beatitudes' and 'Scriptrual Mot toes; an endless list of our great men. and of men not so great after all ; of juveniles, notables, a profusely illust rated edition or 'Old .Mothcrllubbard; and of hdlf chromosandchromos prop er. Tait's 'Chickens 'Ducklings,' and 'Quails' were the first chromos that met an instant and wide recogni tion. Ninteen thousand copies of the 'Chickens' alone were sold. Bricher's 'Early Autumn on Esopus Creek' is one of the best chromos ever made oh a small scale. The 'Bullfinch' and the 'Linnet' (after Cruikshank) are admirable. There are other chromos which are less successful, and one or tu-o that are not successful at all : but they are nearly all excellent copies of the originals, with the delects musi oe charged. The chromos of Bricher's paintings are really wonderfuily accurate. Mr. Prang's master piece, however, is not vet published, although it is nearly ready for the market. It en tirely surpasses an nis previous euoiia It is Correggio's VMagdaxena,' and can hardly fail, we think, to com mand a quick sale and hearty recog nition. Like every modern discovery, chromo-lithography has its partisans and detractors. those who claim for it perhaps impossible capabilities, and those who regard it as a mere handi craft, which no skill can ever elevate into the dignity or an art. wedonot care to enter into these disputes Whether an art or a handicraft, chromo-lithography certainly re-produces charming little pictures vastly superi or to any colored plates that we have had before ; and it is, at least, clearlv ratz3 or Arvrr.xiiNG.
