IMI'EACIIMEXT PASSED.
At a late hour last Monday night the
House passed the Impeachment reso
lution by the significant vote of 126 to
47. The cool heads of Congress have
held back, averse to the impeachment;
until "forbearance has ceased to le a
virtue."' The more lenient Congress
was, the bolder and more defiant John
son became, until be has finally driven
the people's representatives to the wall
forcing them to either admit that John
son was supreme dictator or else im
peach him for high crimes and misde
meanor. They have submitted to his
alliance with the rebel eleniennt;
excused hirn while he was doing ail in
his power to impede recons.ruction;
passed by his attempt to suborn the
officers of the general government for
the purpose of carryitfg out his owjp
personal ends; in fact, they have done
a'l that could be dune to avoid this last
resort, in the vain hope thai so grave a
measure as the impeachment of the
chief Executive of the nation might
not be necessary. But the "President
baa forced the issue, and Congress has
been found resolute in iheir deiermin
atioo to maintain the rights of the peo
pie against any and all despot and
tyrants. Andrew Johnson-has boldly
attempted to set at defiance i
plain law of Congress, and further hes
itation on the part of that body would
be criminal it would Be a virtual ack
nowledgement that Andy the lit was
King of the United States, and tint the
people and their representatives were
his lawfull subjects, possessed of no
rights or priveleges except such as he
wn disposed to grant. Was - it for
such a Mate 6f affairs as this thai a
hundred thousand brave boys lay down
their lives in defense of this govern
ment? Congress has done nobly ind
wisely. Let the loyal people of the
United States 6tand firmly by them in
this seeond crisis which the - nation is
called upon to endure for the sake of
freedom and a Republican form of gov
smnest. Yoj will flr.d tho sa;re ele
ment and none ether standing by
and defending Andrew Johnson now
that stood by and defended the rebel
lion at its commencement. If Andrew
Johnson con ignore and set aside the
Tenure of Office Act, he ran with the
same propriety Ignore and set aside
any other law passed b Congress. If
he is to be the judge, jury. Supreme
Court, Legislative authority. Executive
and Militrry Dictator of this nation.
thea, indeed, was Mr. Seward a query
a pertinent one when he asked if we
would have Johnson President or King.
Thank God, we hive a Congress that
will not allow this government to be
overthrown by such a man as Andrew
Johnson, and they have a constituency
that will stand firmly by them during
the crisis.
Latest. Our latest advices up to
the hour of going to press show thai
he committee appointed to prepare ar
tides of impeachment have positive ev.
idence of Johnson endeavoring to ex
cite conspiracy against Stanton and
Congres?, and one article to be pres
ented will arraign him on that charge.
G 'D. Emory, commander of the dis
trict, will be summoned on this charga.
Johnson mud i such propositions as to
show such conspiracy only wanted the
assistance of the military to carry it out.
This fact may delay the articles sever
al days. Prominent parties believe
that it will be about three weeks before
the final vote is reached in the Senate.
The Ptesident ia despondent and irri
tated because Sninberry made no np
plica'ian for rKquo warranto, and says
his positive orders have been disobey
ed. Gen. Emory refused to detail the
usual guard for the funeral of Mayor
Kelly, saying that a I the troops must
be kept together in anticipation of pos
sible trouble. Johnson. sent a mes
suage to the Senate Monday setting
forth his reason for removing Stanton.
Emory and Wallace, ilistrict and post
commanders, have both refused to obey
any except they ome from Grant
ami' Grant ha3 sent insiauctions to
all headquarters not to obey any orders
except they come through hi headduar
ters. Excitement and anticipation are
on tip toe, but from present indications
we believe Mr. Johnson will be com
pelled to submit quietly to the arrest
and trial of impeachment. He v.oul-J
resist if he could, but his weak kneed
Democratic and rebel friends appear to
fcraake him when they take a square
look at the inevitable result of resist,

"OPEN COXFESSIOX."
The LaCrosse Democrat, the great
light and leaaer of the Democracy of
the Northwest, does not deny that it is
in fa7or of assassinating a Republican
President. It ay?:
"Some one says the Radicals fear
Grant will he assassinated. So he will
tf he i elected President, and it would
not do the country the least harm.
That paper glories in the assassina
tion of Lincoln, thinks "it wojld not do
the country the least harm to assas
sinnte Grant, thinks the rebellion was
just, ami is read and endorsed by thou
sands of Democrats in the North. I
it any wonder the people fear to tru?t
such a party wMi power?
CO.SlSTE.VI
The La t'rosse Democrat is certainly
a consistent sheet. It does nut beat
about the bu?h to let tie ex-rebels
know that it thinks they were riht
during the rebellion, like other Cop
perhead papers, but comes "op to the
rack, fodder or no fodder." We do
not see how sensible men of its part'
can endorse it; yet thr endorsement of
the Democratic party is the same thing.
The following. from its columns is a
"stunner to "war Democrats," but it
has not been rebuked by a single cop
perhead paper:
"Confederate Flag. We wih a
Confederate flag, six feel long, or

SCHOOL EXIIIUITIO.
Last Friday evening the scholars
and teacher gave a pubiic exhibition at
the close of the winter term of scnool
in district No. 29. Oreapolis township,
better known its the Stocking School
House. We learn from parties who
were present that the exercises were
of the finest or-er, doing credit to thJ
performers ("he scholars of the dis
trict), the teacher who has takf-n so
much pains to instruct them in their
various p:irts, the directors of the school,
and the general iuteligence of the par
ents and others of ihe district who have
assisted and encouraged this branch of
education. The exercises consisted of
tableaux, dial ogue, declamations, vo
cal and instrumental music, e.c; and
taken all together would have done
honor to any of thi large sthojls of
'he eastern States. The directors of
the school and parents in th district
desire to return especial thanks to Mr
James Crawford, of South Bnd, and
Miss Cooley and others from Cedar
Creek for the interest they manifested
in the success of the exhibition, and
for the excellent music they furnished
for the occasion. The school was
taugla by Mr. John Crawford, of
South Bend, who will ever live in the
hearts of his scholars and their parents.
He entered upon the discharge of his
duties with his vhle sou!; and took a
live'y interest in the general culture of
the minds of his pupils, insteaijuof con
fining himself merely to their profici
ency in baoks, as is the c ise with too
many teachers. We cannot command
words to express our appreciation of a
teacher of this kind. His labors are
the noblest on earth. Of what good is
all the learning ic the world if the
mind is not cultivated to make a proper
use of i'.; and it is the teachers of our
common schools who shape, to a great
extent, the moral principles of the
youth of the country. It is as much
the duty of school directors. to select
teachers who tan give the proper tone
to the moral principles of their children
as it 13 to select one vh can make
them proficient in book?; and in this
respect the direcurs of district No. 21)
showed their good sense In the selec
tioii of Mr. Crawford. It has only
been uvo years since the people of the
dirttiit commenced to build their sthco:
house, ami they now have one of the
liiie.-t schools in the State, outride the
pities, as those who attended the clos
ing extrcises of ihe late term can cer
tify. The number of scholars attend
ing Juring the term was forty-one
Notwithstanding the hous? was filled
to overflowing, we are -informed the
order maintained at the exhibition was
perfect, with the exception of one or
two instances where parties frrn this
city behaved somewhat rudely and un
gentlemanly". The greatest harmony
has prevailed in the management ot
affairs in the district from- the cum
meneemcnr, and- no doubt much of
the proficiency ud interest cf the
scholars is attributable to this fact.
Where parents quarrel over school af
fairs, scholars are apt to l;se their in

IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTIONS.
The news from Wjshington for the
past few days has been important, and,
to a certain degree, exciting. It ap
pears that ihe difiku'ty between John
son and Congress h is about readied
that point where sonebody must back
down or else there will be trouble.
The President Cisreards the tenure of
office law, and assumes to pronounce
upon its constitutionality himself. Not
withstanding the action of the Senate
in refusing to concur in the removal of
Stanton, he has isued an order to
Gen. Lorenzo Thomas to lake posses
sion of the War Office, and that blood
less hero threatens to do it by force of
arms. We give beiow ihe most im
portant despatches in relation to this
afidir :
Chicago, Feb. 22 Specials say the
Senate adjourned atter seven hours in
executive session. Excitement in
Washirgton is grenter than since the
assassination of Lincoln. The Senate
passed, by a stric: puny vote, a resolu
tion declaring ilia: the President had
no auth rity for his course in the re
moval of Stanton, and ordered copies
to be sent to the President, Stanton and
Gen. Thomas. After the adjournment
a number of Senators went to the War
Cilice to consult Sannm. Tae latter
avows his determination not to leave
the office, and remsinvd there during
ihe night. He has his meals sent in.
It is supposed the m-uter will be
broug' t before ihe Supreme Court on
a writ of quo warranto on Stanton, re
quiring him to make answer why he
dt.n't deliver the War Office to Gen.
Thomas.
Latest midnight. Several Sena
tors appeared before Chief Justice Car
tr of the District Court, and n ade af
fi.iavit charging Gen. Thomas with vi
olalion of the tenure of office law, and
asking a warrant for his arrert. Jus
tire Carter immediately issued a war
rant for the arrest of Thomas, which
will prob ibly be sertfetFin the morning.
New York, Feb. 22 .V HenM".
a lnti2t': correspondent ha i an in
terview witli President Johnson Li tf
Uist nielli, in relathn io ihe removal ot
Secruuy Stanton. The conespond
eiu remarked tint the co.iMry was Mir
prised at fn's actitn. The President
amileJ and enquired, "well, what do
ihe. people say? 1 suppose ihey are
surprised, but I have only done what I
had determined t:i." In the language
of the correspondent ihe ren.oxal is
not in pursuaiiceof the recent deier
initiation ou yourV-, Mr. Presiden.
The Presid, nt jNot at all. sir; the
peoplo t-'ffcuye mistiikeu my
coure altogether 1 i thii matter. I
never had b'it one determination on the
subject, but 1 have acted carefully, pru
denily and moderately. Perhaps I
Ivave been toi slow in removing Mr
Sianton, but not because 1 feared the
bugbear of impeachment, o- I dreaded
anything that Congress iri-ht d .
There is nothing that body could d j. or
ittempt to carry out, that vv..uld iniimi
dale or surprise me. I know they are
capxhlc: of doing anything I delayed
(iual action solely to let the people see
ar.d understand the posi ion of Mr.
Stanton.
W at first intimated to him that we
would like him to withdraw from our
privy couri 'il. He did not take the
hint. We then requested him to re
sign. He refu-ed. Ve then suspended
him under' the constitutional pnwer
which wo have to su-pend or remove
members of our Cabinet. The act o!
suspension was also, not in conflict with
the.tenure of office bill, though we d.d
iMl therefore, recognize its constitution
ality. As a matter of cotinesy. we
sent reasons for our paion to the Sen
ate. That body pretended not to con
sider those reasons soliicient. aud as
sumed to reinstate Mr. Sianton in office.
Well, we still wai.ed, hoping Mr.
Stanton would see the propriety ot re
signing him-elf. Generals Sherman'
and Grant offered to go to Stanton and
advise him to resign.
The President here read a letter
from General Sherman, dated January
ISth. saying GeniTal dram hini-e!f
proposed to go lo Mr. Sianton .?.nd ,ny
for tne good of the service and the
country, he ought to resigu; it will be
time to contrive ulterior matters.
The President then con'inued; ''Af
ter waiting a reasonable time, we
thought proper to day to order the re
moval of Mr. Stanton and appoint Gen
Thomas Secretery of War ad interim
This is the whole story."
Correspondent -Was this step d is
cussed in the Cabinet council?
The President No. sir, not pre
cisely. The" general policy" was agreed
upnn some lime r.g., and th removal
to day is in accordance iherewi h 1
havejust received a copy of the reso
lution adopn-d by ihe Senate lo-night,
in executive session.
The President then read the resolu
lion.
Correspondent What will the Sen
ae do, Mr. President, under that res
olution. if you still insist upon having
Gen. Thomas act as Secretary of War
ad interim
The President I don't sie that they
can do anything. The resolution is
itself the end of the matter, so far a
the Senate is concerned, unles the
House presents articles of impeach
ment and the Senate undertakes 'lo
try the Executive and resolves iuelf
into a high court of impeachment.
Correspondent D ynu think Con
gress realty will attempt impeachment?
The President I don't know, in
deed, nnr do I care. Ii would make
verv little difference to me.
Tha corr?5por.deEt her atkr! .'.hat !
the President would do in the event of
the passage of Mr. Edmunds bill of
suspension, to which the President an
swered substantially as follows:
"Sir, I would not obey the law if
they attempted to suspend tne. The
law is dearly, unconstitutional. There
is a poin? against it which you tremle
meu of the press seem to have entirely
ovei looked'. The bill of Senator Ed
munds to suspend me during the pend
ing trial, would undoubtedly be an ex
post facto law, so !ar as my case would
be concerned, and such a law is de
clared unconstitutional by ihe very law
of the cons'rutjon itself. My cfFenc-?,
we will suppo-e, is ihe removal of Mr.
Stanton. That is an acc imphshed faut.
and any law pre.-ci ibing a penalty for
that act would be ex post facto, and
iherefore unconstitutional. How, there
fore, can Congress legally pass a bili
of s-.ich a character?"'
The correspondent remarked '.hat
certain radicals might argua that a
persistence in keepiug Mr. Sianton out
of office after the Senate had declared
his removal contrary to law. and afier
the proposed passage of Mr. Edmunds'
suspension bill, would be bringing the
question out of the cperatiou o: ex po:t
facto law.
The President replied that he could
no', aherthe case, as the offence charged
would still be the removal of Stanton,
an act performed before the passage
of the proposed law.
In reply to an inquiry as to whether
the President had seen Gen. Thomas
since ihe interview of the latter with
Sianton, he answered, yes.and roceed
ed to state what had occurred - at that
interview. "Gen, Thomas," he said,
waited uprn Mr. Stanton and showed
to him the President's order removing
turn and appointing Gen. Thomas Sec
retary of War ad inttrfm. Mr. Stan
ion read the order aud asked Thomas
whether he would be obliged to vacate
the office forthwith. Thomas said his
instructions were to assume control im
mediately. Stanton said he wou'd like
to have time to arrange and take away
his papers and documents, to which
Thomas replied that considerable lime
would be allowed for such purpose.
No time.' however, was fixed for Mr.
Sianton to f nish bis arraiigt'ineriis."
The President repeatedly expressed
his utter indifference as to what course.
Congress might t-dopt on the impeach
ment question, a"nd in answer to a part
ing remark of your correspondent, that
lie might sleep, soundly in spile of im
peachment, said laughingly: "I don't
hink my slumber will be much dis
turbed by that fear. I shnll sleep
soundly and awake refreshed."

.T.'i'J in vir;ue of the power with wh:ch
they have been invested by the House,
they are of the opinion that Andrew

recommend to ihe Kcuse ibe adoption
t f the accompanying resolution, signed
by Sievens, Bouiwell, Bingham, Bea

Resolved, That Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States be im

The report having been read, Mr.
Stevens said:
Mr. Speaker It is not my inten
lion in the first instance lo di-cuss the
question, or if there be no desire on the
other side to niscuss it, we are willing
thai ihe que-iion sha'l be taken on the
knowledge which the Ilou:e already
has. Indeed, ihe Om.1 of lemoving a
man from office while the Senate is in
session without its censenf is itself if
thtre was tivJ'.h r;gT else, always has
been consrJertd a high crimfe'Htid mis
demeanor.' But I- will not di-ciiss this
question unless ihe gentlemen on the
oilier side desire to; if ihey do, I shall,
for the present; give way to them, and
say what 1 have to say in conclusion.
Mr. Brooks then look the floor and

Washington, Feb. 22.
There were present at Stanton's
office this morning Representatives
Morehead. Kelly, Van Horn, Van
Wyck, Dodge, Ames. Clark ex-member
Delano and Mr. Freeman Clark
of New York.
About 11:30 a. in. Gen. Thomas
having ju5t been re leased on bail by
Judge Caner. presented himself to the
door and tola Stanton he wou'd .ike to
see him. Stanton requested him to
proceed with anything he had u say:
lhomas remarked that ho ti&d come to
discharge the duties cf Secretary of
War ad interim, having bzCn ordered
to do so by the President. Stanton re
plied that he could do no such lliiig,
nnd omtre d him to his room lo perform
hi duties as Adjutant Genera!.
Mr. Thomas replied that he had
been ordered by the President to act
as Secretary cf Wared interim, and he
intended to do it.
Mr. S anion again replied that ho
should not, and again ordered him to
his own room and denied the power of
ihe President to make any such order.
Mr. Thomas said ha would not go
and that he should obey the orders of
the President and not obey the order,
of Stanton.
Mr. Stanton remarked As Secreta
ry of War, I order you t, repair to
your own place as Adjutant General.
Mr Thomas I shall not do it.
Mr. Stanton Then you may stay
ihere as long as you please if ttu
Preisd-nt orders you, but you cannot
act as Secretary of War.
Mr. Thomas I shall actasSecreta
ry of War.
Thomas then withdrew into an office
opposite General Scrivei's room.
Sianton in mediately followed him, and
af er conversation Mr. Stanton said,
"Then you claim lo be here as Sec
retary of War. and refuse to obey ;i y
orders."
Mr. Thomas I dt) .r, I shall re
quire .he mails for the war department
to be delivered to me and shall transact

At this j uucture Gen. Grant and his
aid came in. Giant playfully said to
Stanton: Friend, I am surprised to find
you here; I supposed you would be fit
my headquarters for protection.
Note Mr. Stevens sail he would
have a vote at five o'clock. The
wires were loaded with report cf
speeches until two o'clock a. m , and
not yet concluded. They will proba
bly not get n vote before day'igl.t, lui
there is no doubt that the impeachment
resolution will be adopted by a full
pirty vote. Nothing more about the
scene in Stanton? office
Latest 2 o'clock, a m. The

A HEAVY I.ltSL.
The Omaha Herald has been in the
habit of denouncing everything and ev
erybody that it could not "run," and
has taken it for granted that everything
c'aiming to be Democratic woulJ sub
mil to its lashes without a murmer. '1 he
Democratic city government of Chey
enne, however, has seen fit to officially
rebuke the Ihrahl as follows.
Whlkeas, The Omaha Herald has
for the past few months persistently
and wantonly misrepresi n'ed the City
of Cheyenne by daily circulating fahe
and malignau'. reports calculated to in
jure our interests abroad and affect u
a homt; Be it therefore
Resolved, That ihe common Council
i f the City of Cheyenne condemn thit
journal as a malignant libeller of our
city nnd its citizens, and is therefore lo
taily unwjrihy of credence or patronage
of the public.
Omha. Fed 8, 1S6S.
Mr. Bai.co.moe Dear sir: My nt
tention has t eei: called to an article in
your daily :sue of the 1st ins1: The
gieat Chicago fire, what raused it,
wherein you seem to condemn all pat
ent roofs, composed 'in part of Coal.
Tar, a being unsafe. I wish to call
your attention to the article of Phi-tic
Slate Roofing, composed in pert cf
coal tar, to which I 'think your remit rks
ure calculated to"do'injtltice: It would
afford me great pleasure at any time to
afford you or any other person inter
ested, an opportunity to tea its fire
proof qualities, and if, after the roaf
has hardened by the sun heat, it' can
by any decree of heat, be melted and
caused to drip through the cracks and
pores, as represented in yOur article
you are hereby authorized lo publish
me as an imposter, If I ever after put
on another roof of the kii:d in Omaha.
Youra Truly,
A. OsaontT.

in another column ef the
That able, independent, and com
prehensive journal, the New York
Ledger, thus appreciates a recett event,
which has made a gcod deal of stir in
the world:
About ihe sHlrest piece of business
we have ever heard of was the renuest
that Pre.-ident John?on made of Cener
al Grant to disobey the Senate, and th2t
he (Johnson) would ttand between
General and tine and imprisonment.
We thought thai every body knew that
justice does nol accept ctubstitutts in
such matters, but makes the violator of
her laws personally serTt? outthe penal
ty. It rresiuent'JoTinson wants u have
a law violated, why doesn't he violate
it himsell?'- General Grant is too
hrewd, to'j Wise and too good a man to
be sirugbrio iuch a np.
AH the warehouses in K-.:'o are
filled with grain. So great is i.1 o
quauti y of produce being brou !.. r.t
from the county that oar men-hunts hnv
had to procure vacant house for stura.e
purposes. This speaks volumes for
the weaiih of the country buck of Rt Jo,
Our bridge across tin Bi; Muddy;
not only enables our .ciiiens lo lay m
their supply cf fuel fur the season, but
makes ti e road from Ilu-h l.yj m to
Rub short, nnd opens up to i!.at !U'.a! .
ty an excellent market.
The repoit that a thr-.".! feet vein if
