Tl"Tliif''Wns?i?gt?tt l(4xntj) d' etat" aS' tho
newspapers style the last movement of tho
President on tho political chess-board, was en
tirely unanticipated, and therefore caused con
siderable surprise and no little excitement.
*Tho news was the all absorbing topio of thought
nrrd conversation amoug nil classes of the com
munity. Thinking, thought'and conversation
begat speculation ; speculation soon developed
into predictions ; and predictions, in tho hands
of Darnq Rumor, were speedily circulated as
tacts. All sorts of reports wore therefore cur
rent, and the ^opinion that war was in
evitable, was ox pressed, by many, tho more con
servative and opposite one, that thcro would be
no appeal to arms, had its adherents/
'1 make no pretension to prophetic inspira
tion, and consequently hesitate to hazard any
opinion. It, seems to mo, however, that tho
probabilities of tho matter point to. tho ulti
mato, if not a speedy resort to the tribunal of
arms.' The President will undoubtedly firmly
main tain his position, as ho is sustained by a
conscious rectitude of motive, and strengthen
ed by the,-conviction that he has unmistakably
the authority - of the Constitution to endorse
his' actions?Congress, on the other hand, will
ttoi tetreat from thoir illegal, unrighteous and
partisan policy. They have resolved on im
peachment. In the commencement of the
trial the suspension of the President is tobe
decreed by the Senate, and 4 tool of their
party is to replace him. This being resisted,
?s"it will !be, a collision must be the conse
quence. ' ? Already botb^arties at tho jSTortli
orooiwliig, and tho temper, both of the Con
stitutionalists and of tho Radicals, is so fevcr
iah,' that the expulsion of Mr. Johnson from
the'White ' Rouse must be the immediate pre
ik&o to anarchy.
rJ!|^e opinion I ventured several weeks ago,
that the members of the great "Ringed,
Streaked and Striped'' wero not disposed to de
prive the State of 'their services, so long as the
Busily 'of Bills receivable was unexhausted,
haAj.been verified, and is onch day receiving
new corroboration. Despite thoir already pro
tracted session, tho fit timo for adjournment
and a permanent 'rest from their labors,' seems
to them to bo yet in tho dim distance. There
are;; yet many schemes to bo proposed, many
questions to bo discussed and disposed of, many
spcoches and harangues to, be .iaado, and, hst,
but! to them not least, many shin plasters to be
carried. "' Already expenses amounting to about
have accumulated, and tho now op
ptWeu iax payers of our impoverished State,
are tot have another heavy , burden imposed.
Aud .for what. ? To enable demagogues, black
and white, to dishonor the Stato and to make
political capital out of its degradation. Oh,
Patriotism, Republicanism and Liberty! to
wVac ignoble use are your once immaculato
-of smiffloq ?
names, prostituted, Oh, Justice ! when will
the sword bo again unsheathed, thy authority
again asserted, and those who havo disregard
ed 'or insulted these, meet with tho retribution
their crimes and outrages deserve.
jrfl .tu
.? A prominent feature in tho present daily la
bor of the Club House Republicans is the cau
cusing in regard to nominations for State and
Federal positions of honor or profit. These
disinterested statesmen are anxious to monopo
ly every office, and already, through the po
tent.agoncy of tho Union League, the name of
the elect aro being presented to the nogroea for
their suffrage at the ensuing election. Dr.
Mackcy (s to be Senator, for the long term;
Jutland, of Fairficld for tho short term;
W/hittemorc, Bowcn, Duncan, Allen, Pillsbury
?and Moses, Jr., are looking with cagor eyes to
places/ in i tho National House of Represcnta
tivcR; either Robertson, of Columbia, or Scott
tH8'Bureau man, Is to occupy tho gubcrnato
riat'ehair; Moses or Cardozs will bo Secretary
of State; Chamberlain, no ex-Massachusetts'
lawyer, wiJJ raceivo the appointment of At
torney-General ; whilo Tillson and Tomlinson,
Packer r.ml Stallbrand, Neaglo and Rose,
J&to?n and Ooss, Willnrd and Corbin?
names unknown and unhonorod in the past
history of the State, and which will, he un
known or .unhonore^ -iyrenty yoare hence-?
have each presented, to their ambition or their
covetotwness, visionsj of exalted, or lucrative
pttfermenb. {[ , '
"^General Burns, vfoo^Sy military authority
Bucceeded Mayor Gaillard, deposed last wook,
seems to be exerting hiinscl to become popular.
Thus far, his official demeanor has. been ac
ceptable to all but delinquents. Violations of
the municipal laws, which are confined mostly
to the sable suns of Africa, aro summarily dealt
with and severely punished. Tho General is
especially hostile to vagrants, and has avowed
bis determination to enforco the law in all its
rigor against them. This will have a happy
effect in reducing tho number of idlo, loitering
negroes in tho community, and thus diminish
tllo amount 'of crime, larceny nnd the liko, to
whiqh this class have so largely contributed.
A strike for, higher wages on the .part of tho
pogrops employed by our stevedores occurred
on Monday, and at one timo threatened to cul
minate in a riot. The Btrikers, refusing to
work themselves, were unwilling that their
places should be supplied, nud offered violcnco
to thoBo who were willing to accept tho usual
compensation. Tho presence of n detachment
of police ouly seemed to add fuel to their an
ger and indignation, and resort to the military
to nssist in sustaining order and preserving
peace was thought inevitable. General Burns,
however, himself repaired to the sccno of dis
turbance, nnd by prompt, firm and fearless
measures, after tho arrest of tho riug leaders
the incipient riot was quelled. Tho strike and
its consequences aro said to result from the in
fluence of the Union League, which incited its
votaries to demand three dollars per diem, or
this being refused by their employees, to refuse
to work and prevent others from doing so.?
Two of the stevedores yesterday compromised
with some of the strikers, but tho majority ou
both Bides remain firm. This insane conduct
of the freedmen will probable entail upon them
the necessity of scckiug other means of liveli
hood. Tho situations thoy held will be given
to white mou, and they will recover their sober
senses only to find thoir policy, suicidal, and
their occupation, liko Othello's,-gone.
Tho preliminaries to a duel, despite the edict
of tho Convention to the contrary, were a few
days since ouly prevented from terminating in
pistol-practice by tho prompt action of the city
detectives. Both the principals were arrested
and bound ovor to keep the pcaco. The causes
of the difficultjM^rej.^. alleged insult-?*' J:"~

Tho Crisis.
Wc present to our rcndoi'3 this week news
more pregnant with interest, and more imme
diately nffceting the character and stability of
the Government, than any that has startled
the nation since the surrender at Apponinttox,
and the downfall of the Confederacy.
The President, it will bo seen, has at last de
termined that'passive forbearance has ceased
to be a virtue, and boldly bearding the Con
gressional lion in its lair, despite the threaten
ed impeachment which liko the sword of
Damoolea has been suspended over him, has
exercised the prerogative attached to his Offieo
under tho Constitution, declared Stanton no
jlonger his Secretary of "War, and appointed
Adjutant General Thomas as his temporary
successor. This action bus doubtless been
long under consideration by Mr. Johnson, aud
though it falls upon tho country with all the
forco of a surprise, 3.. only the denouement of n
well matured plan.
? As was expected, his action has been op
posed and his order disobeyed. Stanton, with
a stubbornness which betokens cither a mind
stultified by passion and partisan madness, or
ultcrly devoid of tho susccptibilitios .pf tho
gentleman, rofuses lo abdicate hia desk and
powers, and, idioltorcd by Grant and his Benti
nel8, boldly and defiantly proclaims himself in
dependent of the wishes or orders of the Con
stitutional Chief Executive of tho Government.
General Thomas, his appointed successor, is
denied ndmittanro Office^ is^insult
cd, and finally arrested becnuso his obedience
to the lawful behest of Iub'Superior, conflicts
with tho so-cnilod prerogative of Congress,
under its self-assumed authority.
In Congross the scene is a forcible illustra
tion of tho iniquity and despotic tendencies of
the dominant party. Tho reception of the
news is made the occasion for hurried action,
and a resolution to impeach the President is
speedily offered, and with little debate, passed.
The resolution is then in great haste reported
to tho Senate, and that august body announces
its readiness to try, nnd does not conceal its
avidity to convict and depose Mr. Johnson
from his position.
t Impeachment is therefore, now a fact, and,
as it is probable that tho suspension of the
! President will bo attempted during its incipi
| ciiey,' wo may well regard the present crisis as
exceedingly momcutous. In regard to its ulti
l mate couscquences tho best, friends of the
country seem unable to anticipate. All sec
probabilities of auarchy, while many of tho
most hopeful uro trembling for tho Republican
iform of our Government. The usurpations of
-. Congress have culminated in revolution, and
iunlcss the voico and the will of the people
makes itself heard and felt, the destiuy of the
Union is sealed. With tho Supremo Court
disregarded, the President divested of all au
thority, the Constitution spurned und tram
pled under foot, Congrcts, animated solely by
selfish and partisan motives may well hope to
plant itself upou the wreck of the Government,
nnd play tho part of an unrestrained tyrant.
For mouths, the political elements through
out the land have been in a voleauic condition;
for months, the National Capital has been over
hung with clouds ominous of a tempest. At
last, tho volcano has erupted} tho tempest has
broken forth, and the Ship of State tossed upon
huge billows of passion is threatened with dis
aster, if not total shipwreck.
Wnshhigton News.
February 21.?The members of tho Na
tional Democratic Committee appoiutcd at
Chicago, will meet at 12 M. to-morrow with
closed doors. Among the matters to be con
sidered in private session are tho powers of
members from Southern States.
The President has made the following nomi
nations :
McClellan, Minister to Kugland, R. Ilubbell.
of Ohio, Minister to Equador, Major-Goueral
Gco. II. Thomas to Lieuteuunt-Gcuer.il by
brevet.
j no i'rcsidoiit has issued an order to hh**./,...
removing him from tho War' Department and
instructing him to deliver up all papers, &c.,
to Adjutant-General Lorenzo Thomas, who is
authorized to act as Secretary of War ad in
terim.
Immediately after reading fttuntoil'g CO'.u
muuication to-day, CoYodg moved articles im
peachiug tho President. Nicola objoctvd, i'hu
Speaker decided that it was u privilege ques
tion, but the matter was finally referred to the
Reconstruction Comuiittou.
Stanton. has not vacated tho War Oihce.
At 8 P. M. the Souato was still iu Execu
tive sessiou.
General Thomas has officially accepted the
War Office ad interim, and will apply to the
courts to expel Stantou.
Feb. 22.?At eight o'clock this morning,
Thomas was arrested on a warrant issued by
Judge Carter, ou the affidavit of Stauten, for
a violation of tho 5th section of tho tenure of
office act.
Both Douses met to-day for business and the
excitement is very great.
Thomas has been released ou $5001) bail to
appear on Wednesday.
Stanton camped iu tho War Office last night
and is still in possession.
TJhc Rcconstructiou Committee to-day, by a
vote of seven Republicans to two Democrats,
resolved to prefer articles of impeachment
against the President for his conduct respect
ing the removal of Stanton.
Tho debate is progressing with spirit but
dignity, and the excitemcut is subsiding. The
President will adopt no arbitrary measures.
He is content with the present shape of affairs.
The matter is now with tho courts.
Only Brooks und Deck voted against the
resolution of impeachment in tho Ucciinstruc
tion Committee.
After his release from custody, Adjutant
General Thomas lbuud his office door locked,
and the key in Stautou's possession. Thomas
then went to Stantou's office, when Stanton
was in the coinpnuy of ten members of Con
gress, and Generals Grant, Dent and Howard.
Sentinels guarded each door, and visitors were
admitted only after their cards hud ooon in
spected. Several cards were presented for
General Thomas, but admission was denied.
Colonel Moorp, tho President's Private Secre
tary called on General Thomas remained ii>
Stantou's rooms until half-past 12, when he
left the War buUdipg. During tljo interview,
Stanton notified General Thomas that ho would
not resign t c War portfolio or recognize him
(Thomas) as Secretary of War, and fh.it he
had instructed all tho omployocs pf tlm De
partment not to obey him, Genera) Thomas.
Aj. half-past 12 o'clock General 'Thomas had
a Jong interview with the President, during
which the President said he wished to test the
matter before tho courts.
Tho Democratic Natioual Convention has
nominated New York ns the plncc, nnd tho 4th
of July ns the tiino for tho meeting of t he con
vention, Representatives from the Southern
States had a full voice in the convention.
Tho pa??uge of the impeachment resolution
by tho House is undoubted.
Feb. 23.?Stanton has been lodging in the
War Office sinco Friday. ?
This courso was recommended to him by Con
gressmen, who apprehended that an attempt
would be mndo to take possession of the office
by force.
Grant yesterday detailed Colonel Cnrr, a
member of General Emery's staff, to remain
ufc the war office, and' the guards have bcCu
doubled.
Large numbers of members of Congress
called on Stanton to-day and held long conver
sations with him. They assured hiui of the
support of all tho ltepublican members. Their
party would act ns a unit in both Houses, nnd
now that impeachment was fairly inaugurated,
there would bo no faltering until tho matter
was completed. After the impeachment reso
lution passes to-morrow, Stanton will go home,
as after that event his friends think that the
President will venture on no aggressive, meas
ures.
It is ascertained that Grant and Emery, the
latter commanding the department, will obey
no orders of the Prosident conflicting with the
Tenure ol Office bill, or the expressed -will of
the Senate.
It has not transpired, however, that the
President has issued or intends issuing such
orders.
In the whole matter, so far, tho President
has confined himHclf to civil proceedings, and
has directed to-mnrrow art application bo made
to the court for a quo ioarranto ngajust Stan
ton.
The President has nominated Thomas Ew
ing, of Ohio, as Sccretarj? of War.
The excitement to-day bus been great, but
events have made no progress, aud this evening
the town is toning down.
Tlio more wild of the Kadicals assure circles
of listeners that ten days will do tho work, bot
with each hour they become less confident.
The House adjourned last night at half-past
11 o'clock, and will meet to-morrow at 10* A.
M.
Nearly all the Democratic members, Mr.
Scward, and many prominent citizens and
strangers called on the President to-day.
The excitement which pervades other circles
is not perceptible at the White House.
l'Kn. 24.?Comparative quiet prevails this
morning, and there is no more war talk. Ap
plication has been made for a writ of quo icur
ranto against Stanton. The House is debating
the impeachment resolution. Its passage is
still rog"rd'.'d certain.
At half'vsr ? - iliis morning. Cc:'.<i ??
V?
Tho;::?..g WCM to the War Department and or
dered :7l;::itt.:i to vacalc and demanded the
mails. Stanton again refused. General Thom
as then wwiii. to "tho Adjutant-General's office,
but issued no orders. Neither party has vet
issued any orders that require his recognition
by the other departments.
Senator Morton of ;nd*mna) ]s positively re
ported to l.c Said t hut life patty could not
sta??'i triO pressure, uud that the present feel
lugs and purposes cf ihc House could not be
sustained.
Most profcuud silence fallowed the announce
ment of tho vote on impeachment.
The day closes with Stauton dining at the
War Office, in company with Senator Chand
ler and others.
The President, too, is at dinner. General
Thomas is at home; and everything is quiet.
The President; is represented assaying that he
recognized no one but General Thomas as Sec
retary of War. and intended to recognize- no
one else. He coceluded by saying that (Jod
and the American people would make all right
and save our institutions.
The President appends to his message nomi
nating Ewiug, Secretary of "War, the assertion
that he has not violated, and will not violate
the tenure of offico bill or any other law, and
argues elaborately, even under that bill, his
right to remove Stanton.and appoint an ad in
terim Secretary.
Tho following is telegraphed us a specialen
of to day's speeches : In two minutes allowed
him hj Mr. Payno, Mr. Shanks of Indiana
said: l'.Mr. Speaker, my opinion is, that in
this emergency, this House should speak but
one word aud striko hut one bl.w; and I de
sire that the blow should come first. I am
tired, sir, of tho protracted discussions which
postpones for an hour what the people have
long wished to bcc. I am in favour of the
official death of Andrew John: on, and I think
we should vote the impeachment without de
bate. I am not surprised that ono who com
menced his career in drunkenness should' end
it in crime."
It is stated that Secretary McCulloch will
not rccoguizo Stanton's official requisitious.
Feu. 25.?The reception at the White House
last night was remarkable for tho unusual
crowd, the absence of Radical officials and the
presence of foreign representatives.
Dispatches of encouragement to both sides
continue to come in.
Tho Radicals in several localities have firod
50 to 100 guns in honor of the IIouso of tfep
ro?ontativp?.
A special sont home Northward, eays that
Grant in a conversation with Wilsoi), said that
the officers of the army aro a unit in support
pf Congress, and that not more than a dozen
out of 2500 would obey an order from tho
Presidoni, unless it camo through him. In
reading a dispatch from Thomas declining tho
brovet, Grant said : ".Tust what I expected
from Thomas, ho is a good soldier."
The administration J;as abandoned the quo
tear ran to against Stanton, as the proceedings
against Thomas to-morrow will co.ver the
ground. /x <^ Jf:
Tho Cabinet met at noon, all present except
Thomas.
.Stauton still,holds tho War Officft'and-or
ders his (subordinates to communioato. nothing
tu reporters.
Grant and Judge Fishor were at tho De
partment. Tho excitement has entirely sub
sided. Tho impression is gaining ground that
the fcenatc proceedings wilrbel tediotfcl'routine.1
FEB. 25.?In tho House Stevens and Ding
ham roported that they had performed tho
duty of informing the Scnato of the impeach
ment resolution.
A rcsolutiqn waS^adopted that the report on
the articles of impeachment be debated one
day, and then v,otcd on without further debato
or dilatory motions.
The impeachment and Reconstruction Com
mittees wore allowed to sit duriug the session.
\djourned.
Sen ite.?Sumner read, tho Harvey dis-1
patches, and explained how thoy canic confi

At noou the Clerk of tho House appeared )
and announced the passage, of tho impeach
ment resolutions.
The Harvoy dispatchos woro loosely discus
sed. ' '???;??:??
Several partisan papers sustaining impeach
ment were sent to the Clerk to be read. lien
dricks objected, and on a vote the Senate re
fused to hear them.
A number of the members of the House en
tered and took scats, and afterwards Stevens
and Ringham, as a.spocial committee, entered.
Stevens said: .. . i. ?. -
Mr. President: In obedienco to the order of I
the House of Representatives wo appear before
you, and in. tho numb of the Ilduse of Repre
sentatives and of all the people of.tho Uuited

Wado replied that the Senate Would take
order in the premises, t
A special committee,-consist ingof 'Howard,
Morton, Trumbull, Conkling, Edmunds, Ponyj
roy aud Johnson were appointed to examine
into the impeachment, and report proceedings.

Feb. 2G.-T-Gone:al Thomas sppoajeVl to-day
with his counsel, ?Tuitgu Gutter iswd nib
paua for SU;U^u to appear with Uia commis
sion and other dooumcuta. Peud/mg its ser
vice, the court proceeded to other business,
Stautcui's lawyers asked a postponement, but
Thomas' lawyers objected, on the ground that
lys ba.il had surrendered him aud he was a
prisoner. A writ of habeas corpus was de
manded but Judge Carter told Gcuoruj Thorn
r.s to go home.
This closes tho matter unless the grand jury
takes cognizance of it. It is expected now
that a writ of quo icarranto will be sued out
against Stantou.
The Committee on TmpvaeTtment Articles of |
the House examined Gen. Emory. There are
serious difficulties reported in the committee.
The idea prevails that the Radical troubles are
thickening, though uo tangible; fiictn have
transpired.
Stanton answered the suZj>a** that fte woaM

of court, no-further proceedings were had".
Secretary McCuIloch honored Stanton's re
