The proceedings of the meeting oc? cupy fifteen columns in the Intelligencer. Among the toasts was one given to Andrew Johnson, who was present. This was received with great cheering, the audience rising from their seats, manifesting great enthusiasm. The President rose and was greeted with en? thusiastic and prolonged cheering. He said: "In response to the allusion just made, I have no remark to make other than to repeat the sentiments to which allusion has been given this night one year ?go. That is, no State of its own will has a right under the constitution to renounce its place in or withdraw from the Union; nor has the Congress of the United States, under the constitution, the power to ex? clude or degrade the people of any State by re? ducing them to mere territorial dependencies' upon the Federal head. The one is a disruption and a dissolution of the government; the other ie consolidation and the exercise of despotic power. Tue advocates of either are alike the enemies of the Federal Union and ot our re? publican form of government."

The resolutions condemn congressional usur? pation; oppose negro suffrage; urge the taxa? tion of United States bonds and their payment in greenbacks, and advocates the protection of foreign-born citizens. Proceedings tn Congress. IMPORTANT DISCUSSION IN THE SENATE ON THE BILL ABROGATING THE SOUTHERN STATE GOV? ERNMENTS-MB. MORTON'S OPINION OF GENE? RAL HANOOCE-CONGRESS TO BE SUPREME. WASHINGTON, January 9.-SENATE.-In the Senate, a memorial was presented asking for female suffrage in tho district ; also from five thousand hand-loom operators, asking ex? emption from taxation. The House bill to prevent frauds in the whiskey tax was passed, with an amendment striking out the words "in bond," making the provisions of the bill apply to all whiskey. A petition from the Alabama Constitutional Convention was presented, praying the removal of Governor Patton's political disabilities. Mr. Morton called np his resolution instruct? ing the Judiciary Committee to report a bill abrogating the existing State governments in the rebel States, and providing proper govern? ments in lieu thereof. Mr. Frelinghuyseu moved to amend so as to make the reporting of a bill discretionary with the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Morton desired to test the sense of the Senate directly upon the question. Ho said that it was high time that Congress defined its position in terms that could not be misunderstood on this subject. To his mind the state of affairs now existing in these rebel communities had nevor been more alarming. Congress met on the second of March last and declared '.be existing govern? ments in those States as illegal, and not afford? ing sufficient security for life and property; and at that time Congress had provided military supervision until such tune as legal govern? ments could be established. To-day the mili? tary anthority which they had set up was ob? structing the proper operation of the law in some of those States, and upholding the exist ing illegal and unauthorized governments. Mr. Morton here sent lo the desk of the Secre? tary the acts Of March and July tobe read, and also the Order No. 1 of General Hancock, in ' which the civil authority is declared supreme. It would be seen the t General Hancock, in this order, not only defied the power of Congress, but actually nullified and refused to execute its laws. Ai General Hancock has confronted directly the Congress of the United States, it becomes a question as to whieh side will submit. He recognizes the authority of the civil tribunals orgi-nized by the very State governments which Congress has declared to be illegal. There was danger that the work of reconstruction would fail by the very military power which they had raised up to forward it. At this crisis it was incumbent on Congress to be true and consistent to itself, and proceed to abrogate these governments. It became Con? gress to say at once what they intended to do. Although declaring in the acts referred to that those State governments were illegal, Congress had not proceeded in i he exercise of its power to do away with them abruptly, but in the pre? sent juncture there ehould not be a moment's hesitation. If the anendment of Mr. Frey lioghuysen was adopt? id it would mean nothing. He (Mr. Morton) wa:ited a peremptory order to this committee to Iring in a bill immediate? ly, and he desired thin Senate to so order. Mr. Freylinghuysen said he did not intend to oppose any of the experiments which had been advanced by the Senator, but thought it but right that some confidence should be re? posed in the judgment of the committee. The expiration of tl ie morning hour cut off further debate on the resolution, and the House bill to suspend further contraction of the currency was token up and discussed to the time of adjournment. HOUSE. In the House resolutions asking the release of Father McMahon end several other Fenians was passed. The bill preventing whiskey frauds, ac amended by the Senate, came up, and was discussed until the House adjourned. The Lo alda na Convention. NEW ORLEANS, January 9.-In the conven? tion to-day a resolution was offered by a col? ored member that per diem of members cease after the 20th inst. The motion was tabled. The balance of the day was devoted to the adoption of articles i elating to the legislative body. Riot In Texas-A Republican Meeting Bra leen l p. NEW ORLEANS, January 9-A meeting of Republicans at Mai shall, Texas, on the 31st, was broken up by a mob. Judge Caldwell, the speaker, was fired at several times. He sought protection at post headquarters. The dis? turbers of the peace were arrested by the mili? tary, who afterwards, by order of General Hancock, turned them over to the civil au? thorities, who releaued them on bail. Negro Riot In Tennessee - Two BlacSca 1 Silled. NASHVILLE, TENN., January 9.-A black and white riot took placo at Pulaski, in which two negroes wore killed and five wounded; one white was seriously hurt, and further trouble is apprehended. Suspension of a. Banking House in Richmond-En Itcmcnt in tue Con? vention. RICHMOND, January 9.-Harrison, Goddin & Apperson, a large b ulking and real estate firm, suspended pay men ; to-day. Their depositors will be paid. In the convention, this morning, the session was occupied by Mr. Hunnicut in a speech vin? dicating his political history against charges from the conservative side. An exciting Inter? ruption occurred, ia which the statement that Senator Hunter wi ,s a traitor was pronounced a lie by a conserva ive member. Tho conven? tion then adjourne 1 until night. At night the convention adopted seventeen sections of the Bill of Rights, all being similar to the old Yirginiii bill, exe opting an amend? ment adopted striking out the word "twelve" in fixing the number of a jury, and another giving any person a right to speak or write their sentiments, ind be held responsible for the same. Thc Georgia lonvtntion-Gtn. Meade Pro salsea ta Give Satisfaction. ATLANTA, Januiry 9.-The committee to wait on General ol eade reported that the Gen? eral assured the convention that he would use all the powers conferred upon him by the re? construction acts for the speedy restoration of Georgia to all her rights in the Union. On the question of the authority of members to hold their seats, the convention adopted a resolu? tion that the proclamation of General Pope is conclusive. The Relief Committee reported an ordinance to forever forbid legal action on any contract or debt of date pr or to June 1st, 1865. A resolution was adopted appointing a com? mittee of one delegate from each congressional district in the St a :e, to prepare a hst of persons in whose behalf Cmgress should be petitioned by the convent io:: to remove the disabilities imposed by the ants of Congress. Ordinances wera introduced to give suffrage to all men who can read the Constitution of the United States and have paid their taxes, and to give equal rights, irrespective of color, to all in all public places and conveyances. A resolution was introduced to inquire into the propriety of f elling the State Road. The Financial Agent of the convention re? poned that Get eral Meade handed him, in writing, the following : "General Meade de? sires Dr. Augur lo say to the convention that he is dearly of the opinion that they are en? titled to their pay and incidental expensee from the State Treasury, and that he will en? deavor, as soon as possible, to remove the obstacles now existing to their being paid." 51 ur kc t Reports.

The New York Times prints tho following private letter from a gentleman living in the up-country of South Carolina, which gives some interesting views in regard to the con? dition of things in that section of the State : AIKEN, 8. C., Saturday, December 28. My Dear Sir: A reply to your inquiries re? specting the condition of this vicinity, the dis? position of the people and of the negroes, and the prospect for the futuro, involves BO many considerations that an ordinary letter will hard? ly contain the data upon which a correct esti? mate can bo found. As a matter of course, an opinion of the future must be based on our ex? perience of the past. Bearing this in mind, we recall what was the conduct of the negroes during tho war. Then they had the strongest incentives to insubordination and disobedience, yet they, as a general rule, conducted them? selves so as to elicit tho commendations of all portion. For political purposes an attempt has been made to create an opinion that as a race the blacks were active Union partisans, when the truth is that they were entirely passive, and quietly submitted to the rule of which ever side was in the ascendency in their immediate lo? cality. You are aware of the efforts that have been made since the war to create a Union party (so called) at the South. Emissaries have been er nt to all sections of the South to inculcate the doctrines of the Radical party; loyal leagues have been formed, sworn to secrecy and the promulgation of their views; partisan .pamph? lets havo boen scattered broadcast throughout {he land, and the most extravagant promises Sven as regards to what would be done for e black race when once tha reconstructed State governments were in successful ope? ration. As waa natural in such circumstances those most ambitious of place and power have assumed the lead in connection with the white adventurers from the North. The consequence is seen in the result of the elections for members of the convention. Instead of se? lecting sound, moderate, conservative men of established principles, they have chosen a set of demagogues ready to sacrifice the welfare of the country to their own indi? vidual advancement. I have asked numbers of the newly enfranchised for whom they had voted ? As yet I have not found ?the first one who could even call the names of the candi? dates. They say they were told to deposit tickets given them in a box, and that's all they know about it. Moat inflammatory speeches are continually being mada tc them, denoun? cing the "robs," and urging them to stand up for their rights. Yet, in spite of all this, few could tell from their deportment that they had been so recently freed. In this vicinity they are civil and respectful to the whites. Consid? erable Ul feeling exista between the Federal troops stationed here and the negroes, but the citizens and negroes acree well. Potty thefts occur here as well as elsewhere, but when dis? covered are promptly punished. As two North? ern gentlemen observed to mo this morning, "Northern people would not trust tboir ser? vant? a? wo do our house, ne-croea." yixa ?reat evil is the continued political irritation, by aa 8iran ts, lecturers and agents. Could that cease ie mass of negroes would be indifferent aa to which party predominated. There is not the least apprehenoion of an outbreak, but is more likely to result in rendering the negro less de? pendable as a laborer than he now is. The supply of labor fully equals the demand. Prime men can ba had at (10 per month and army rations, and women from $2 to $6 per month. Carpenters, painters and other me? chanics (colored) from $1 to $1 50 per day. The farmers of this neighborhood, although they have not made money, generally have a sufficiency for the ensuing year. As indicative of the prospect, I will quoto tho prices of a few leading articles : Corn, $110 to $125 per bush? el; peas, $1 25; flour, $13 to $16 per barrel; ba? con. 20 cents per pound; beef, 10 to 15 cents; pork, 15 cents; sausages, 25 cents per pound; fowls, 30 to 40 cents each; chickens, 15 to 20 cents; eggs, 25 cents per dozen; butter, 50 cents per pound; apples, $2 50 per bushel; fod? der, il 25 per cwt.; fir o wood, 12 50 per cord. I enclose a copy of the report of Gen. Scott, Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau for this State. You will note that it gives a favor? able account of affairs here, from hi? point of view, and will answer, in part, your queries relative to the state of society. The thinking men of the State, howevor, disagree with some of his facts and mo.-1 of his inferences. Tho small degree of prosperity which exists, in? stead of being the consequence of the Radical administration, is in spite of that administra? tion. It is true that some men would defraud the negro if possible. We ask, is there any part of the world, civilized or uncivilized, where such things ore not done. It is true that wo wcro opposed to emancipa? tion, and on the cessation of hostilities society was unsettled; but in placo of tho buroau be? ing a real protection to the negro, it engender? ed a feeling of hostility that never would havo existed but for the unphilosophical character of tho legislation. Tho improved state of fool? ing which he so vauntingly claims as tho result of their care and protection-of tbe fear of dis? placement from ofBco, ftc-is to bo attributed to large general laws which would have operat? ed at least a year sooner had they not been interfered with. Buckle, in his History of the Civilization, dwells at length and continually recurs to the immense injury done by narrow minded legislators in their efforts "to protect" various interests. Ho plainly demonstrates that one of the greatest evils of society is the irotective system," which always retards in sad of advancing civilization, bo it is herc. The very effort made to protect the negro has tended to make their apparent interests an? tagonistic to tbat of the dominant race. Had au enlarged policy obtained in place of the narrow, partisan views, tho better class of whites-the thinking mon, the men of pro? perty-would have given more practical pro? tection to the negro than any foreign party possibly will or can do. Tho greatest praiBo that can bo given to the negro rnco is that, in spite of every incentivo to a different course, they retain their former habits. In corrobora? tion of this view, it is a noted fact that the negro is better protected, more contontod, in? dustrious and happy, m proportion tu tho dis? tance he may happon to live from Provost Courts, large oitics and railroad Unos; or, m other words, the less protection tho better off he-is; for then tho natural feelings of the white mau aro enlisted in his favor. Secondly, however radical a Northern man may be, tho longer he lives at the South the more ho assimilates to the Southern ideas, as evidenced by every returned soldier, aud even by General Scott himself. You wiU also note (not only in this report, but in the letters of "correspondents" generally) that most of tho trouble is in the great cotton and rice prodacing regions. In tho vicinity of Aiken there are no largo plantations, conse? quently we are exempt from those difficulties. The people here are mostly farmers, and have made provision for thc ensuing year. Our own people do not apprehend any further difficul? ties than those incidont to unwise laws mode by ignorant nionibers of the Stato Convention; and those evils, wo trust, will bo but tempora? ry-that the sober second-thought of tho Northern people wiU release us from both iniU tary and negro rule. Those having faith in tho future wUl perceive that this is the tune to buy real estate at thc South. lu my opinion, no people on tho face the earth have ever enjoyed as many of tho comforts and luxuries of civUized society with little cost of labor and trou bio as havo tho Southern people. At present they are under a cloud; but the darkness cannot continue al? ways. A reaction must como. With a glori? ous climate and fruitful soil, industry and on ergy must meet with their reward. You can assuro your friends and correspondents on the points referred to in your lotter, that is, if you can answer for the future action of tho North? ern people and Congress. At present there is danger of trouble in this vicinity; but it is within the range of possibiUties that it may bo producod if -tho Radical party continue in Tilings In Washington. THE COTTON TAX TN THE SENATE-HOW THE BILL TO BEPEAL WAS AMENDED-SPECULA TO BB AND NORTHERN INTERESTS TBIUMPHANT- THE DECONSTRUCTION CASES TH THE SUPREME COUBT-UNPLEASANT EUMORS-THE NE ORO CONVENTIONS 80UTH. The Washington correspondent of the Bal? timore Gazette, alluding to the action of the Senate on the House bill repealing the cotton tax, says: The discussion upon this measure has ex? hibited all the distinctive features of the Yan? kee cbaroter. In the beginning it was set afloat by avowed Northern speculators, whose only object ras to get back the taxes already paid upon the crop of 1867, supported by others who had advanced monoy upon that of the present year. The former got a vote to-day in the Senate very nearly sufficient for their pur? poses, and may yet succeed. The latter were quite successful, as will be seen. It was amus? ing to witness how those gentlemen who are interested in the manufactures, of : which cot? ton is the fabric, squirmed at the views of Western men, and again, with what evident disgust a portion of the Radicals, especially the Northern wing, viewed .the suggestions of the Southern renegades as >' to the necessity of a permanent repeal in the interest of the "poor negro." One of these latter gentry (Mr. Fow? ler, of Tennessee), went so far as to say that, without any tax whatever, it would be found to be impossible to make cotton growing a profitable pursuit-thal not only the monopoly, tut the successful competition tcifll the rest of the tcortd, fell with Hie institution of slavery and lie spoke HIP truth ! If any there be who have boen led to believe that this measure is ; intended to relieve the planters of the South that is, the owners of the soil, I can only! say they labor under a very great mistake. The I Yankees have now full possession of the ele Ebant. I commend them to a prudent h us? an dry of their resources. I hear unpleasant rumors in respect to the cases which have come up from the South to tho Supreme Court, designed to test the valid? ity of the Reconstruction acta. I forbear par? ticulars for the present. I may say, however, generally, that it is likely impediments may be thrown m the way.by doubts as to whioh side of the docket the 'government may deem it ita duty to be placed and recognized by the court. It seems the negro conventions at the South have had some difficulty in bagging their per diem. In Georgia they have not re? ceived a copper, the proper State officers not fe ch n ^ authorized to pay "for heating the, po? ker." The Sambos of the convention have, consequently, written to Massa Wilson of Mas? sachusetts, and he to-day introduced a bill to remove the Governor, Treasurer, and all other officers having control of tho public funds of the State. I have no doubt Congress will pass such a law, but doubt ita efficacy. I can: as? sure the honorable Senator, upon pretty gbod authority, that there is not a cant in the Geor? gia exchequer, and that the successors of the present worthy incumbents will .take nothing by their motion. THE POLITICAL SITUATION. In the New York Tribune of Monday a Wash? ington letter "from au occasional correspond? ent" made its appesrance, which is deserving of m >re than ordinary notice. We make the following extracts : IMPEACHMENT. Impeachment died ignobly, with scarcely enough friends to give it decent burial. Tho trouble about impeachment was that few were sincero in it. The friends of Mr. Chase did not want impeachment, because it would have made Mr. Wade President. The friends of Mr. Colfax opposed it because the temporary elevation of any Republican to the Presidency would almost oertainly deprive him of the nomination. The friends of Grant wore for it and against it-if we may cite Mr. Washburae, who was an impeacher last .f-; chuchea mg mina. Thora ?M oe no doubt that the impeachment attempt injured us. It gave Mr. Johnson the courage of insolence. It fell upon the party like a shower of rain, and especially when it was attended by the reac? tion against Republicanism in the October elections. STANTON. The tenure of office bill-violated in the person of Stanton-still remains reft and torn, and Stanton is as much out of our politics now as though ho were dead or an ex-Presi? dent. For a gent?o, easy fading of reputations, commend me to this dear old dusty town, j "Where is the brilliant and rising Gabby from the Rocky Mountain District?" "Oh I-Gabby ! yea: splendid genius- but he was beaten by Rocket, and keeps a tavern in Montana." So long as Stanton was God of War he was wor? shipped; he had organs and courtiers; but now, when his name on a lieutenant's commission would not be worth a smithareen, he is forgot? ten. Probable they may crowd him in when tho Senate meets. But people care very little about it. j THE GRANT MOVEMENT. j Grant is the favorite horse in the political betting-books. Every jockey and tramping : mau of tho Republican party shouts for him. The amount of shouting is wonderful. There is so much organized enthusiasm and disci I plined spontaneousness: "Ask no questions answer none-morely hurrah, boys." This is the Grant idea. * * * * See how tho trading mon crowd around his paddock and caress him. The number of "ori? ginal Grant men"-of men who discovered his merits years ago, who stood by him and be? lieved in him, and who saw in bis modest, quiet face the features of a second Washing? ton-passes comprehension. I doubt if over a man was more "behoved in." The admiration with whichtCaptain Cuttlo regarded his marino comrade, Mr. Busby, was nothing to it. Whon he writes, his letters are gold. No man since Bacon ever wrote such letters. When he speaks, it is the voice of the silver-tongued. When he neither writes nor speaks, then we seo something Platonic or Socratic in his silence. The ashes from his segar, yes, and the smoke that rises from tbs ashes, are full of statesmanship. You hear his praises on all sides. Blair ana Forney pra?e him, although people remember that Blair and Forney have the most unlimited admiration of aucoess, and have praised ovory President since Jackson, j They keep house here, and mike a business of itt * * . * * They moan to make him rua by getting up, in the first place an "irrepressible enthusi? asm," and, in the second placa; by working on the fears of the party and making tho leaders believe that Grant is the only man that can be elected. Tho whole proceeding is very like that of Mr. Drew or Mr. Vanderbilt, when they managed fancy stock in Wall-street. They aro trying to "bear" tho market and "bull" their stock. Take an original Grant man into tho lobby of tho House, and you will find the coun? try in tho most dreadful condition. Every? thing ia going to tho bad. The cotton crop is short, and there are more crimes than usual, and businoss is depressed, and the Democrats havo the whiphand of us, and the negroes aro behaving badly, and money ia tight, and an? archy is inevitable. It is bis conviction, based upon excellent sources of information (this whisperingly, and with a wink up Indiana Ave? nue), that if Grant be ousted out of the War Office, for instance, hostilities will spread all over the South, and a conflict begin, tho end of which no one can see. Well, you ask in terror, what's to bo done ? Hadn't wo better wind up business and sell out to Lord Stanley or Napoleon? "No, no; not at alli Take Grant. Invest m this stock. The only safe thing on tho street. Only fifty shares to be had, and enormos dividends behind. Think of Paris, my boy, or a revenue place in Walrus sia." This is what our fancy-stock politicians call thc Grant movement. I was in conversation with a distinguished Senator some days since -a man who believes in Gnnt as we all believe in him. Ho had travailed far and wide during tho summer. He had seen thousands of peo? ple, aud this ia what was generally said: Senator-"Well, what do you think of tho Presidential question?" Citizen-"I don't know. Things look mixed. Wo guess wo have got to tako Graut.-' Seuator-"Is thoro any positivo desiro for Grant's nomination?" Citi? zen-"None around here. Wo all would Uko somebody oise-Chase, Colfax, Morton, or some statesman-but we are afraid we can't help ourselves." Thc Stanton Imbroglio. THE BEPOBT OF 8ENATOB HOWABD IN VINDICA? TION OF THE EX-SECRETABY-A FIERCE ON? SLAUGHT AGAINST THE PRESIDENT. Tho report of Senator Howard in the oase of ex-Secretary Stanton, which was laid beforo the Senate on Tuesday last, is quite a long document, covering upwards of a hundred sheets of foolscap paper. The following are the principal points: After reciting the circumstances of the sus? pension of Secretary Stanton by the President on the 12th of August, and the appointment of General Grant as Secretary of War ad interim, the report cites tbe second section of the Tenure of office act, in order to show that Con? gress intended to prevent such a removal, ex? cept for misconduct in office, or on accouxt of some physical or mental incapacity, or some legal disqrialiflcatioQ. The act requires that beforo the Presk ent eau order such suspension, he shall have evi? dence satisfactory to him that some ons of these causes exists. ' Ho must be satisfied by evidence, and the evidence must be sud. as tends to establish the existence of some one of those distinctly enumerated causes, and not merely that there is a difference of opinion be? tween him and the incumbent, or mere mutual dislike. Both are, by the constitution, but officers of law, bound fo perform for the people the duties imposed bylaw, and the one no nore and to no greater extent than the other. Their duties may greatly differ in public importa nee, but the obligation is exactly the same. It is to be the law that each is responsible. The first principle of constitutional government in? volves this responsibuity; and no official, how? ever high, is abovo the law, or entitled, ruder our system, to claim for himself impeccalility or immunity. That monarchical principle 1 iuds no placo in the republican system under which we live, and he who seeks to resort to it seeks to destroy liberty. The committee say they do not propose to discuss the constitutionality of the Tenure of Office act, bnt contend that the Presiden:, by his proceeding now under consideration, has recognized its binding force. Ho has adopt? ed it as the rule of his conduct, by act-lally lining and employing a power created and existing only by the act itself-the pow sr of suspension-and it only remains for the com? mittee to give their views of the suffici ency of the evidence and the reasons upon which he relieB to justify his action. To this duty they, therefore, address themselves. The report then proceeds to analyze the President's message to Congress on the sub? ject of Mr. Stanton's suspension, and addi : "The fact was already made public bj Mr. Johnson himself, that in the Cabinet ccuncil the preceding June, Mr. Stanton had dissented from the opinion of the Attorney-General in re? ference to the true meaning and effect of tb e Re? construction acts of March 2d and March 23d, 1867, which opinions Mr. Johnson had adopted and acted npon. The whole country had seen that if theso opinions were carried out in prac? tice, as Mr. Johnson proposed they should be, and as he had instructed his subordina' es to carry them out, the plain intention of Congress in regard to reconstruction in rebel! i ta tea would be defeated. "Mr. Stanton bad expressed his dissent from those opinions, and refused to counte? nance au artifice which had occasioned tbe as? sembling of Congress on the 3d of July. Con? gress, to the exclusion of all other business, passed at that meeting a third act on recon? struction, setting aside the dangerous inter? pretations by the Attorney-General of the two previous acts. "As he had done io the two former bills, Mr. Johnson vetoed this bill ? also, lt was notorious, as three elaborate vetoes, aided by bis speeches and conversations, and the corps of piesses in bis interest could make it, that he was strongly opposed to everything of the kind, and that be intended to render all such legislation abortive. He hod not only used his influence and patronage to that end, but bad strenuously opposed, denounced, and endeavor? ed to defeat, and even to veto the amendment to the constitution, known as Article 14, pass? ed Juno, 1866, and intended at that timo au the basis of reconstruction. His whole course of conduot was notoriously in open and violent antagonism to the will of the nation, as ex? pressed by tho two Housos of Congress. "Mr. Stanton, .on the other hand, favored xnoTarthrui execution of these acts. Xh?.y were the laws or tne land, no numu HOI eses to defeat their object by any means, direct or in? direct. He had good reason to believe, and did behove, that if he resigned his post Mr John sou would fill the vacancy by the appointment of somo person m accord with himself, in his plans of obstruction and resistance to the will of Congress, Such an appointment would, by the constitution, have remained in fo co till tho end of the session of the Senate. "It was, undoubtedly, the aim of Mr. John? son, if we may judge from his pro vio is con? duct, to avail himself, if practicable, of the lapse of time to carry out his scheme of ob? struction, and by every means in his power, and they were many, to hinder and thv art the intended operation and effect of thoso s atutes; and then, when bluntly asked to resign, un? der the pretext of public considerations of high character, Mr. btanion refused to yield bia assont to such considerations, and strong fidly and manfully opposed to them the duty j incumbent upon him to resist their accom? plishment by remaining at his post and seek? ing to execute thoso statutes faithf illy and effectually." Tho report says that if tho Presid? mt is to Docomo the final and infallible judge of what the public interests require, Congress and its laws are nothing; and however wanton and wicked he may be, it becomes official miscon? duct to differ with him in opinior., and to moke known to him this difference. The com? mittee then ask: "Is Mr. Johnson serious in this m ist arbi? trary assumption ? Can ho no longer jrook to be told that his course is wrong ? Do< s he re gird mere difference of opinion as to the pro? priety of carrying out legislation of ( ongress as official misconduct? It would teem so from the position here taken. But we oan not,countenance a doctrine so abso ute and despotic. It is not merely a stop toward ty? ranny, but is of itself the essence of tyranny." The committee then take up the ci argo by the President that Mr. Stanton concurred in the veto ot tho Tenure of Office bill. It is ad? mitted that Mr. Stanton thought thu bill un? constitutional, and was opposed to itt becom? ing a law. Such, the committee say, was sin? cerely his view, and some of the ablest states? men in the country have entertained tho same opinion; but others equally able have held the contrary opinion, ana among them was Mr. Webster. The controversy is almost as old as government, but the committee contend that it does not follow because a public officer has entertained such an opinion of a proposed measure, he is to carry his notions so far as to treat it as void when formally enacted in? to a law by a two-thirds vote of each house of Congress. Another and spocial ground of complaint al? leged against Mr. Stanton in tho President's message is, that be omitted to communicate to the President tho telegraphic dispatch of General Baird, dated 28th July, 18G6, relative to tho State convention of Louisiana, then about to meet in New Orleans; and that Mr. Stanton did not send the General instructions as required. After quoting Mr. Johnson's mes? sage on this subjoct very fully, the report de? clares that these passages from the message show plainly enough that tho purpose of its author is to provo that be hail no opportunity to prevent tho riot and slaughter of that bloody day, and is therefore free from the responsi? bility of wbich he speaks, and that his failure to prevent them is clearly chargeable to the Secretary's not sending to Goneral Baird in? structions and in withholding the dispatch from tho Prosident. In noticing the grave delinquency with which the President char-res Mr. Stanton, for his fail? ure to show him General Laird's dispatch im? mediately after it was received, the commtttee say: 'Mr. Johnson, in his report, seeks to throw off from himself all the responsibility of the riot, and denies that he was warned in time, luis denial, in the face of the uncon? tested and incontrovertible facts of the case, admits of but one reply, and that is that it is untruo, and known to bo so to Mr. Johnson. He was warned, and fully warned, of the im? pending violence, and it is in vain for him to deny a fact so woll established. Mr. Stanton was not warned." The committee discusa this subject at great length, and in conclusion re? commend the adoption of tho following resolu? tion: ., , " Besolced, That having considered the evi? dence and reasons given by the President in his report ot the 12th of December, 1867, for the suspension from office of Secretary of War Edwin M. 8tanton, the Senate do not concur in such suspension. _ _ THE ORANGEBURG NEWS, PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY MORNIN at Orangeburg, 8.
