LATEST XEWS.
Our latest advices from Washington
are up to Tuesday night. The Im
peachment resolutions, as published
clsewhore, had heen nctapted, except
the seventh) which was recjeted becacae
of its imilnr,iy to the fifth. Steven-?
and Butler have each offered addition
al articles, but they were rejected, and
the probabilities are that no others will
be added. Bingham has been select
ed a3 cha-rman of the Houe commute e
to manage impeachment before the
Senate. It is thought that not more
than a week will be consumed by the
trial.
Omaha Redeemed I
493 REPUBLICAN MAJORITY!
Omaha, March 2J. 1SG&
Herald, Plaitsmoulh, Neb-.
Glorious new.-! Omnha redeemed!
Four hundred and eighty-three (4S3)
Republican majority! Fight square ou
principb. Congress fully sustained.
David Butler
What do you think of a registry law
now. One year ago Omaha gave 400
Democratic majoriiy. Is there any vir
tue in a -'great moral idea" and a
regilry law? As Gov. Butler truly
says in the above dispatch, "the fiht
was sqarn on principle," and even thai
scavenger of a concern called the Oma
ha Herald dare not deny or pretend
that there was anything unfair in either
the registration or the election. The
Gov. appointed one Democrat on each
registry board, and thus cut off all
chance for denouncing the registry as
unjust. Last fall, true to the instincts
of modern Democracy, they attemped
to override the law and carry the city
for the Democracy by force of arms
and other unlawful measures; and that
result was only prevented by the deter
mination of Republicans that the law
should be mamuined inviolate. This
lime the election was conducted fairly,
and the result is as above. We fear(?)
Omaha, as well as the balance of Ne
braska, has become "hopelessly Re
publican."
THE COMMITTEE
Appointed in the House of Represen
tatives to prepare articles of Impeach
ment against Andrew Johnson, consists
of Messrs. Boutwe!!, of Mass., Steven,
of Penn., Bigham, of Ohio, WilsoD, of
Iowa, Logan, of III., Julian, of Ind
and Ward, of New Yor!:.

TJ1E APiOiXTIX FOWEU.
As we find many persons who sup
pod e the i npeichment of Audrew
Johnson rest solely upon the provisions
of ibe tenure of office bill, we give be
low that porion of the Constitution of
the United States relating to the ap
point ng pon-er:
Ar'icle 2, Secti. n 2, Paragraph 2,
provides:
He (ihe President) chrtll have
power, by and with the advice ami con
sent of the Senate, to make treaties.
provided two-thirds of the Senators
present concur; and he shall nominate.
and by an. I with the advice and con
sent of the Senate, shall appoint Am
bassadors other public Ministers and
Consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court,
and all other officers of the United
States, whose appointments are not
herein otherwise provided for, and
which shall be established by law.
But the Congress may, by law, vest
the appointment of sueh inferior of
ficers as they think proper in the Pres
ident alone, or in the heads of depart
ments. '
It will be seen by the above that the
Constitution limits the power of the
President lo the nomination of all of
ficers until after the consent of the Sen
ate is obtained to their appointment, ex
cept, as provided in the next paragraph
of the Constitution, that during the
recess of the Senate he may fill vacan
cies. In the case of Mr. Stanton the
President attempted- to override the
Seriate, the Constitution and thepeople
and become the Supreme power of the
government. He removed on paper
:he Secretary of War, and appointed
on paper a new Secretary of War,
without obtaining or attempting to ob
tain the "advice and consent of the
Senate," as the Constitution not the
Tenure of Office bill provides he shall
do before doing more than to nominate
or suggest an appointment. More than
this, after having1 made the appoint
ment, he tried to induce certain milita
ry officers to use the army of ihe United
States for the purpose of forcing bis
unlawfully appointed Secretary into
power. He failed in his ignoble pur
pose, and now tries to "crav fi-h" by
saying he did not design doing an un
lawful! act, but only wished to get the
sulject before the Courts. He may
have desired to get it before the Courts,
but thai desire would hardly justify the
violation of as plain a provision of the
Constitution as that above quoted and
we think the Senate will be of that
opinion.
Johnson's Defense
Andy makes a very tame defense of
his recent course in the removal of
Stanton. He makes three separate
au I distinct points in his message to the
Senate, as follows-: That he obeyed
the tenure of office law in the removal
of Stanton, that he disobeyed it in order
to test it?- constitutionality, and that this
law has nothing to do with Stanton's
case, as he removed him in accordance
with an act of 17S9. We da not pre
tend to be a Constitutional Lawyer,
but think we see wherein Andy's rea
soning is very lame. His list two
propositions cannot stand a moment, for
no sensible man will acknowledge that
any person, be he President or private
citizen, has a right to violate a law for
the purpose of testing its constitutional
ity wi.hout laying himself liable to the
penalties of such violatic n. whether the
law is subsequently declared cotiotitu
lional or not. All laws are supposed
to be constitutional, and binding, until
they are detlared otherwise by compe
tent power and that power is not the
President. As for claiming that the
removal was made under the act of
1789, when there is a later law touch
ing the subject the tenure of office
bill of 1867 that position is simply
I - 1 a
nuicuiou, ana is not tvortn tne paper
it is writ'.en on. The latest law al
ways governs, and the tenure of office
law takes the place of the act of r7S9
so far as there is any conflict between
ihern. This, then, leaves Mr. Johnson
the alternative of showing that he has
not violated the tenure of office law of
1S67. This law provides as follows
Thal every person holding any civil
office to which he has been appointed.
ry and with the advice and consent of
the Senate, and any person .who thall
hereafter be appointed to any such of
flee, and shall become duly qualified to
act therein, is and shall be entitled to
hjld office until a successor shall have
been in like manner appointed and
duly qualified, except as herein other
wise provided:
Provided, That ihe Secretaries of
State, of the Treasury, of War. of the
Navy, and cf th Interior, the Postmas
ter Genetal, and the Attorney Gener
al shall hold their offices, respectively
for and during the term of the Presi
dent by whom they may have been ap
pointed, and for one month thereafter.
subject to removal by and with ihe nd
vice and Consent of tin- Senate."
Mr. Johnson claims that under this
law he has ihe right to remove all of
ficers appointed by Mr Lincoln, but
not tnose appointed tv nimseir. JJoes
Mr. Johnson suppose this law wa
ra.-sed by Congress to prevent him re
moving such men as Stanbury. Randall
and Browning? and give him the privi-
I?(f-of removing such a man as Sec
reiary Stanton? The question is easily
disposed of, however, by taking the
plain reading ot ibe law, these officers
"shall holJ their offices for and during
the term of the President by whom
they may have been appointed." Mr.
Stanton was appointed . by President
Lincoln, after his eleciion t J his sec
ond term, and is entitled to hold his
office until the expiration of the term
for which Mr. Lincoln was elected.
Mr. Johnson has no term. He is
merely serving out the unexpired term
of Mr Lincoln. The Constitution does
not provide that upon the death of tht
President the Vice-President shall be
come President, and have a term as
such, but only that he fchall perform
the duties of President. Mr. Johnson
is merely acting Ptesident during the
remaning portion of Mr. Lincoln's
term; hence he has no power to remv
Mr. Stanton, according lo the tenure
act. until' one month after the term
has expired for which Mr. Lincoln
was elected.
IXFOKM 1TION WASTED.
Mr. James P Belden, writing from
Amherst, Massachusetts, to John Simp
son, Esq.. of this city, says:
"I take the liberty of addressing a
few lines to you askiog information
with regard lo Nebraska. I have some
idea of coining west in the spring, and
if it wou'd not be imposing too much on
your time I would like you to give me
some lijht on ihe following questions:
1st. How near to your town, Omaha
or the Missouri, are there any lands
open for homesteads.
2J. How high are improved lands
held.
3d. What are the prices of farming
stock.
4th. About how rruch are taxes,
and where is the land office nearest
you.
5th. What are ihe chances for any
of the mercantile pursuits.
Cth. What is the "modus operandi''
of obtaiuing home.-ttads, and what are
the expenses al the Laud Office.
7ih. Can any correct sectional maps
of Nebraska be ob'ained, and where.
lns. by ihe Herald. There are
lands open for homesteads within about
fifteen miles of this city, which is on
the Missouri river, and we presume
there are vacant lands within about the
same distance from Omaha and Ne
braka City.
The price of improved I.ind varies
materially, owing tr location, extent of
improvements, etc, from So lo S59 per
acre.
We si ppose our correspondent
means, by farming stock, horses, ca'.-
ile, theep. etc. Horse- ar worth from
37-5 ta Sl50 jrood farm hores about
S100; cows from S3-3 to S60; work
oxen about S100 p-r yoke; s'ock sheep
from75 cts. to Si 60 per head.
The taxes in this county for the year
1SG7, for Siaie anJ cjunty p trposes,
were 10 1 2 mills on the dollar. We
are in the Nebraska City Land District.
the office located in that city, which is
about thirty miles south of this place
Our merchants are all doing a thriv
ing business, as will be seen by refer
ence to theadvertising columns of the
Herald, and we think theie is room
for a few more. " Ihe country is set
tling very rapidly, which causes new
openings for business houses. There
has been not less than twenty-five new-
stores opened in this place and within
the distance of fi'ty miles west and
south west from this city during the
last year, and they are all doing a good
business.
The "modus operandi" of obtaining
a homestead is thi?: You come direct
to this city west and south west of
which lays the finest lauds in the world
go out and hunt up a tract that suits
you, go to the Land Office and file it
as a homestead, move yonr family (if
you have one) upon it, and go to work
At the expiration of five years the gen
eral government will give you a patent
lo it. We do not know exactly what
the Land Office fees are, but t'link thev
are about S10 not over S15,
The-most correct sectional map of
Nebraska we have evt-r seen is "Col-
ton's New Map of Iowa and Nebraska
and we presume it can be had al any
first-class book store. Colton's Map of
Nebraska ana parts of Dakota is very
got d, but the New map of Iowa and
Nebraska is belter.
A SLIGHT "OPLEASASTVESS
t?eems to exist just now within the ranks
of the "unwashed." That grer.t I'ght
of Democracy C. L. Vallandigham
the only man in the north who had ihe
nerve to stand squarely up to and pro
claim the real principles of the party
during the rebellion, is being terribly
slaughtered by his party frienJs mere
ly because they think it wil1 giv ihern
strength with those opposed lo him
The New York World ha commenc
ed ihe warfare by an open denunciation
of Mr. Vallandigham. and the l-s.-r
lightsare taking sides according to their
reflective preferences. It is en oil
a - 1
little of that article manifested among
those whoaie endeavoring to kill cfl
Vallandigham that they may build
themselves ep on his ruins. It i no
fight of ours, but we never like to see
a man slaughtered ty those whoshoolJ
be his friends. The entire Democratic
party to-day standi upon the identical
ground occupied by Vallandigham dur
ing the war, yet there are those who
desirf, tokiil him ihat they miy rise,
notwithstanding he has fought ill their
battles f jr the last seven years. The
Omaha Herald sides with the World
against the great "martyr." We have
not heard from the JY'etrs yet.
THE QUESTION OF VPAR.
"The qufation of peace or war will
soon oe aeteriniuea, ana momeuiuus
events will turn upon the will of An
drew Johnson. Arrest and suspension
will follow impeachment, and peace or
war will be as the decision of Andrew
Johnsin elect. If he calls for volu.i-
teers to protect the President in his ef
forts lo dffend the Constitution against
revolutionary cmspiracy, military men
ace, and overthrow, the country v ill
instantly resound with the clangor of
arms, and war will be inevitable."
The above is taken from an editorial
in the columns of the journal which is
denounced by the city government of
Cheyenne as "totally unworthy oljcre-
(Knce or patronage of the public'' the
Omha Herald. We are at a loss to
know who would carry, the arms that
are to make all this "clangor." The
men who fought on ths rebel side dur
ing ihe late rebellion have had about
enongh of it; and the men who urged
them into the rebellion and then for
sook them in the hour of need to make
money behind sutlers' counters within
the Union lines are not likely to do
much fighting now. If our neighbor
will carefully examine the telegraphic
news he will come to the inevitable
conclusion that Andrew's will does not
exert such a terrible influence over the
American people as the above extract
would indicate. He has the will tu
make wa?, so has the Omaha Herald.
But neither Andy nor ihe Herald can
mustr the force lo carry it on. Andy,
has endeavored to get the military for
ces in and about Washington to stanJ
by him in his unlawful ar.d rebellious
designs, but ihe men who would no
surrender this government to Jeff. Da
vis appear to think they will not now
surrender it en irely to Atnly. John?on.

Dr. M. H. MtCluskey.M. B. Murphy,
and many who rendered our trip very
pleasant.
A tide of thirty miles west of Tlatts
ir outh brings you to Ashl ind,cne of the
most pleasant nnd thriving villages in
the S ate, surrounded by one of the
most fertile reigons of our co antry and
situated on ihe banks of Salt Creek.
The place is a growing one Nature
has here provided one of ihe best wa
ter-powers in the country, and improv
ing this, they have as fine mills as can
be found in Nebraska. The town
contains many fine brick blocks that
would be an ornament to any town.
The Representative in the Stale

the Salt Creek, the bottom lands of
which are the finest in this portion of
ihe State. The creek has very jjood
timber along its bunks, and settlers are
openiinr fine farms. We wish we could
fitly picture t our Ea-tern readers the
beauties of Salt Creek Valley. The
wide rolling prairies beginning a half

mighty waves appear like mere ripples.
You are twenty miles away from Ash

our State appears, h-r many fine build

months since a wild prairie, the walls
of her Capitol arising, and as nearer
you approach, the busy scenes of a live
and busy town attract your attention.
At last, the city reachedund exhausted
wiih the day's journey the traveller
finds refreshing accommodations at the
Cadman or Pioneer house.
A number of young ladies in New
Paris, O., avniling themselves of iheir
"leap year" privileges, a few days ago
called en masse at a newly established
saloon in that town, helped themselves
to seats, and remained till night, indus
triously engaged with iheir knitnng.
The call was repeated next morning,
the fair callers remained all day. The
disgusted publicans, svvetring that "not
a d d man came in" during the two
days. quieL'y pulled up stakes, packed
up iheir unsold fluids, and evacuated
the town without waning for a third
visit.
In his speech to the del
gation
from the Baltimore City Council, the
other day, Mr. Johnson declared that if
he could only achieve a victory over
Congress, it would be "ihii highest
pleasure of his life to yield his aspira
tions to others." But, as he -cannot
overcome Congress,, we suppose this
may be taken as an nnnouncernent that
he is a candidate for re-election.
