COLUMBIA. Wednesday Morning, Jan. 23, 1867. Thc Law of Impeachment. The Now Yolk Her,iii I is convinced that there is nothing moro, certain to come to pass thau the impeachment of President Johnson, and says that "the House, as a grand jury, will impeach Andrew Johnson of high crimes and misdemeanors, and the Senate, upon this indictment, as a high court, Chief Justice Chase pre? siding, will try him, condemn and renounce him;'' and adds, that "with thc opening of the trial, President Johnson will be suspended as dis? abled, aud thc President of the Senate"-thc Herald's man for that position is Fesscndcu-"will be as? signed pro tem. to his place." This is the programme of thc Herald and its present party. But the Herald, in auothcr article in the same issue, from which we bave .ploted, says that thc law of impeach? ment depends upon thc provisions of the Constitution of the United States and "upon the principles and practice of England-so far as the latter do not conflict with those of our Republic." How thc impeaching law for a President of a republic, au executive chosen by the people, depends on thc principles and practice of a mon? archy, wc aro at aloss to understand. In England, the person of the Sove? reign-thc constitutional head of thc Government-is sacred, aud he is placed above impeachment. Thc ministers, ar?d other subordinate officers of the Crown, may bo im? peached for bribery, crimes and other misdemeanors, as well as for treason; but the chief ruler is ex? empt from liability to impeachment. How it is, then, that thc precedents which rule iu the case of a British Minister-an appointee of thc Crowu-can apply in thc case of tho President, with authority or force, is not very clear. Be this as it may, the fir&t proposi? tion of tho Herald, that the law which should govern in such cases, depends upon the provisions of the Constitu? tion. And what are these? Hoc are the priucipal sections, condens? ed: Section 3, of tho first Article, de? clares that tlie House of Representa? tives is thc sole impeaching power, aud that tho Senate shall have thc sole power to try; and when Senators are sitting for that purpose, they shall bc under oath or affirmation. It provides that the Chief Justice shall preside, and that no person shall be convicted without the con? currence of two-thirds of the mem? bers present. Judgment in cases ol impeachment shall not extend further th m to removal form offiot and future disqualification foi office. Section 4, of tho secont Article, declares, that "thc Presi dent, Vice-President' and all eivi officv-rs of thc United States, shall bi removed from office on itnpeachtnen for and conviction of treason, briber] or oilier high crimes and misdo meanors. " Thus sayeth the Constitution o. the United States, and the last sec tiou plainly prohibits thc usurping act of tho radicals, as set forth in tin HerahVs programme ol' suspending o: deposing thc President, until lie ?dial have beeu convicted. But how cai that conviction come, unless three fourths of thc members of thc Unitet States Senate perjure themselves' The public acts of Andrew Johnsos are known to the whole country, ant if ho has committed any of thc crime: enumerated in the section of tin Constitution, we venture the asscrtioi that nine-tenths of thc people of th country arc utterly ignorant of them Thc Herald asks, "Ma}' not tin vetoes of President Andrew John son, in contravention of_the popula will, as expressed by the majority o thc Congressional representatives o thc American people; his indiscrimi nate exercise of the pardoning power aud the counsel, or at least encou ragement, which he is alleged to havi given thc South, to'reject the consti tutional amendment, be construct iuto misdemeanors?" The?craWknows that every charg< it lias enumerated is false. The Con Stitution confers the veto power Ol the President, and, in every vct< President Johnson has sent to Con gross, he has .sustained his position by citing the Constitution, tie i also invested with thc pardonin? power; but that he lias exercised i indiscriminately, is untrue, as many prisoners and exiles could now feel? ingly testify to. Thc charge that he ! hus counseled or encouraged the South to reject, the amendment, is equally I false with tho others; all his objec ! tions to that measure were embraced in his veto of it, and it has never been shown that he ever advised any Southern official or public mun on thc subject; but, on tho contrary, he I has, in all private interviews with Southern leading mon, carefully ab? stained from rising any influence whatever in forming the course of the South iu relation to the matter. Tho truth is, that thisimpeachment movement is nothing moro or less than a desperate attempt of desperate j and reckless partisans to get posses? sion of the Government, and remodel it to suit themselves. It is, in short, a revolutionary' design, which, we think, as the Washington Const Wu ?ional Union says, in a paragraph published the other day, the people ! of the United States will not permit to be accomplished. -? ?? ?**? A COLOREO LAWYER NOT ALLOWED TO PRACTICE IN* GEORGIA.-lu the Superior Court for Chatham County, Georgia, Aaron A. Bradley, a person of color, made application to be ad? mitted to practice law in the State of Georgia.. The petitioner is a mem? ber of thc- State of Maine. Judge W. B. Fleming made the following endorsement on the petition : "The laws of Georgia do not ? authorize T contemplate the admis- ; sion of persons of color to thc bar, and as this is a matter entirely of in- j ternal police and municipal regula- ? tion, over which the State has abso? lute jurisdiction, it is my deliberate . judgment that this court has no ! power to grant the within petition, | the petitioner being a person of color. SENSIBLE VIEWS.-The freedmen of Texas met in Convention at Bast rop, on the 6th, and passed a series of resolutions, of which the following is the eon elusion ; "We make no demand for impar? tial suffrage. We will'cultivate the earth with industry. Our artizans, smiths, shoemakers, joiners, carpent? ers, and mechanics of very kind, will follow thc occupations with which they are familiar. The body of our people of both sexes will do likewise; direct their labor to thc production of grain, cotton, raising domestic ani? mals, meat for their own consumption, poultry, vegetables, etc" - _-? # ? ?. - WELL Pry. -In a letter from Gen. Wm. Preston, in response to ?vu in? quiry of whether ho would allow his I nani'; to be used in connection with thc candidacy for the Kentucky Go? vernorship, is the following reference j to the third clause of the constitu? tional amendment: "If the people accept their own pardon under the amnesty by the sacrifice of their chiefs, and trusted comrades, and leaders, then, indeed, are our misfortunes irremediable and our dishonor un fathomable. Whoa a Virginian can look in tho face of Boo, or a Kentuckian in that of Breck? enridge, or a South Carolinian in that of Hampton, and can say to himself, T regained my rights by deserting and denouncing yours,' then, in sooth, is our degradation perfect."' REPEAL OP GEORGIA LAWS.--The laws in Georgia denying foreigners the privilege of holding- real estate have been repealed by the L?gisla? ture. There is a law in Mississippi prohibiting foreigners from convey? ing real estate until after they have been naturalized, and also providing that, unless so naturalized, their lands and tenements shall not descend to theil* heirs, upon decease, but shall be sol(T, and tho money paid into thc Stab- treasury. SNOW STORMS.-The Richmond 7///rs, of Monday, says: Tho present, beyond any winter for nearly a decade, has been marked by Icelandic severity. For more than twenty days, our lakes and rivers have been lucked by ice, now ex? ceeding a foot in thickness, and our fields covered with snow, some of which fell during the last days of 1866. The game in this State is said to be perishing from hunger, and re? morseless "pothunters'' have glutted our markets with half starved deer, liaros, partridges and other animals! Vast quantities of Tish .ire said to have boon killed in shallow ponds and rivers, and unless carefully provided for, the live stock upon our farms will scarcely survive. But the horrors of ibis gloomy cold Siberian January culminated, on yesterday, in a snowstorm, which, comm. nein g some weeks ago in tho North of Europe, se ms to have ranged slowly Southward, and will, no doubt, visit the cotton States. England has, during the past ten d tys, been visited by a snowstorm of unparalleled severity, and on Thurs? day and Friday snow fell to the depth of more than a foot in Now York. Trophic Among the Negroes on the Seo. Island Plantations. An order lins been issued to Capt. H. C. Brandt, Commissioner of the Freedmen's Burean, who has charge of the negroes on Back River, to the effect that the lands are to bo turucd over to owners and tho freedmen to make contracts. A portion of the Chcves property has been leased by Mr. Smith Barnwell, who was desir? ous of making agreements with the negroes, but they positively refused aud threatened to take Mr. Barn? well'? life. A detachment of fifty men proceeded to the place, but soon found that the negroes were deter? mined to resist. Capt. Brandt then I proceeded across thc river, went to Mr. BaruweU's place, and at first saw j nothing but a few women and chil- I dren. He read his orders to thom, I and said that ho came to tlerm as a ' friend and not ti, light them. Soon 1 thereafter, the detachment was sur- ! rounded by three or four hundred armed negro men and women, thc I men keeping to the rear of the women j and children. Some of the negroes got in the rear of the soldiers behind j a fence, and, when discovered, they j had their guns pointed through holes ' in the fence, and bearing directly ou j the soldiers. ' Discovering this, the ; captain judiciously determined to j withdraw his men, not wishing to ! shed blood, especially ar the women i and children would probably have ? been the sufferers. He came to town j for further orders from Gen. Scott. ! commanding the district. We have been informed that the negroes have been thoroughly drilled ; aud armed, aud that an officer, with sash aud sword, was in command. We also learn that thc negro lawyer (Bradley) who applied to bo admitted to practice, in thc Superior Court last week, is at tho bottom of thc whole thing; that ho has informed thc nc- ' groes that they cannot be removed; ! that Congress lias passed alaw giving . them thc right to hold the land, and that he has recommended them to resist the officers of the Bureau. We understand that despatches have been sent to Geu. Scott, inform? ing him of tho state of affairs, and that ho will probably arrive on thc scone to-day. i ! Sfirann'tk News and Herald, '21st. GREAT WINNEBAGO. -Simon Cane- | ron, familiarly known as "Great Winnebago," recently elected Sena? tor from Pennsylvania, vice Senator Cowan, has achieved, during his long career, a reputation for rascality un? paralleled by that of any other poli? tician iu the country. He first es? tablished a national notoriety by a very disreputable transaction with the Winnebago Indians, which caused his name to stink iu the nos? trils of honest men, and made him a hero in thc eyes of the villains of the land. Sent on a mission to them by thc Government to deliver a large amount of money, he appropriated the "mint drops" and paid them off in notes of a wild eat bank, of which he was thc owner. In the wilderness these notes were worthless, and tho Indians could not cany them to Middleton for redemption, by which Mr. Cameron enriched him? self, and laid the foundation of his now princely fortune. Since then he has susi ?ned his unenviable reputa? tion by buying three Democratic votes when Forney was a candidate for Senator against him, and on thc expiration of his term offering the Pennsylvania Legislators $20,000 if they would re-elect him. While, as Secretary of War, his corruption was so notorious that even thc Federal Congress could not stand it, and cen? sured him into a resignation of his position. Such is the newly elected Senator from Pennsylvania, avery lit representative of a State which en? courages such miscreants as Forney and Stevens, and upholds the radical policy of injustice aud disunion. What eau bo hoped for a country in the Senate of which men of this character find position? Is THI^ COTTON 'IAX CONSTITUTION ATJ?-We have received a pamphlet of thirty-six pages, by Malcolm Campbell, of the Xew York bar, in which he maintains, with considerable learning and coitvincing reason, that tho Act of Congress, of July V), 1806, which imposes a tax of three cents per pound on unmanufactured cotton is unconstitutional and void. We have never entertained a doubt on this point. Tho cotton tax is not only contrary to thc spirit of the Constitution; it violates its letter, also. It is not proportioned to thc population ar; given by the census, ft is not uniform, but is a most un? equal imposition, which puts a crush? ing burthen upon the industry of'u limited number of the people of a section of the country. It is in vio? lation of tho provision of the Consti? tution which forbids the laying of imposts upon the exportatn is of any State, if it is at all desirable that cot? ton should bc cultivated iu the United States, thc tax is exceedingly unwise. It is very doubtful whether cotton can be successfully and profitably raised with tho present system, or, rather, no system of labor. We do not, therefore, sec how it can bear this enormous taxation. Mr. Campbell, in conclusion, de? clares that if bis views are correct, and the tax is unconstitutional, "au ample remedy is afforded by law to those who desire to contest tho validi? ty of any tax." They must take the necessary legal steps within six mon tbs. - Mooile A dvehiscr. THE COTTON TRADE.-An enormous quantity of raw cotton has been im? ported this year, and this increase continues tobe maintained month by mouth. The value of this article sent from thc United States alone up io thc end of September is computed to bo between 30,000,0Cd and 40,- ? I 000,000 sterling. That sont from British India is valued at 10,000,000, from Egypt at nearly 7,01)0,000, and from Brazil at more than 4,000,000 sterling. A great comparative de? crease has taken place as regards that sent from China, Mexico and the Bermudas, but tho total value of our cotton imports for thc three- ? quarters of the year is nearly 03,000, 000, or about ninety per cont, more j than the quantity brought into this country during the corresponding ? * months of last year.-hond?n Times. ' ' SrormNc ron A FIGHT.-Kentucky was one of the Southern States that came out of the rebellion unwhipped. It appears that she is now somewhat eager for that honor, as a despatch informs us that a. proposition is be? fore the Legislature of that State to raise ten regiments of soldiers to up? hold and defend the exploded "princi? ples of State lights ami to be subject to the call of President Johnson, i Kentucky had bettor adhere to her ? , old dogma of neutrality, and preserve j j her war spirit for a more fitting oe- j ( casi?n.- ?ew York Herald. \ j PROPOSED EXTENSION OPRXHIWAIB SOOTH' -The line of railroad from ! Norfolk and Richmond South are ? talking of extending the Wilmington j and Manchester Railroad South-west | { to Millen, ira., by which they will j secure an independent passenger train to Macon, Columbus and Cen- . tra! Alabama. The South Carolina ' | Railroad Branchville will be nsed j to perfect this connection, if it is made. Tr.sr OATH ns NEW YORK.-A mem? ber of the New York Legislature has . , proposed to require a test oath of thc voters in that State, lt' he were fit to fill his place, he would know that the Constitution fixes the quali- I . fication of votes, and that any logis- : Iation adding to those qualification a i , \ (unless authorized by the Constitu- ? lion) is simply null and void, i Buring thc progress of the late.ter ! riblo lire at Vicksburg, a wholesale system of pillaging was carried on. Attempts wore frequently made, during the bro, to apply tho torch to portions of the town then untouched, and it is averred that, iu some in? stances, these efforts were crowned with success. The Hebrews of Cincinnati expeud j annually ."?150,000 for the support of t their own churches, schools, socie? ties, lodges and charities. There are : t'?')0 children taught the Hebrew lan? guages at a cost of $10,000. Forty-four policy dealers were held to bail in ?500 in New York, on Wednesday. Israelite .lu?day School Association o?
