Allen, Greenville THE PRESIDENT Pno TEMTOUE.- I It is singular but indubitably obvious, j that tho Act of 1792 is grossly uncon- j ?;:itutional, and ought. to bo repealed forthwith; for u Representative or ; Senator is not impeachable, and that i on the express ground that he is not j au officer of the United States in j the constitutional sense. This was ' decided when tho Constitution was I young by the Senate itself, in the oase of Senator Blount, who was im? peached by the House, and acquitted by the Senate for want of jurisdiction, a Senator not being impeachable. Se? Blount's Trial, pages 22, 102; Wharton's Stato Trials, pages 260, 316; 1 Story on the Constitution, sections 793, 802. Now, the Act of 1792; declares that Mr. Wade, or after him, Mr. Colfax, "shall act aa j President," in case Mr. Johnson bo j removed, dies, or resigns. But as { neither of them aro "officers'' within I the Constitutional phrase, "all civil | officers of the United States," it is ! certain that neither ono of them could tato his seat as Chief Mugis- j trate, without practicing usurpation. This is a very grave matter. We 1 earnestly hope this grossly nnwar- j rantablo designation of a member of I Congress as a successor may be 1 stricken out-National Intelligencer, j In connection with the nbove, the Now York Herald's Washington cor-1 respondent has a long article re- j hearsing tho difficulties timt would | lie in tho way of tho radicals if Wade should succeed to the Presidency as, whether ho is to continue a Se- i nntor or not; whether tho next Pre- | sideut pro Inn. of the Sonate would | bo entitled to succeed him or not; whether he could go back into tho Senate at tho end of bis presidential term if his senatorial term were the longer of the two; and others. The fact, tho Richmond Dispaalch thinks, has been clearly proved by incontro? vertible argument, that Wade is not such an officer an can, nuder the Constitution, succeed to the Presidency. The difficulties grow out of au unconstitutional law. They should bo removed by the passage of a new law regulating tho succes? sion. - A despatch ?xO?? Guian?, received in St. Louis, says that depredations of a serious character aro being com- I mitted daily by the Indians un checked, and that lud?an agents and contractors aro striving to suppress reports of the true stato of affairs. The despatch mentions three ranches that have recently boen plundered .ind burned by parties of Indians, varying in numbers from fifty to one hundred. The whito owners of the muches banded together for defence, when three pf their number wero killed after a severo fight, during which five Indiana were killed. The remaining whites wore taken pri? soners, but released on surrendering their goods. Tho settlers ure repre? sented as fl doing to th?? fort* und garrisoned posts f ?r protection. THE CHABI?ESTON HOTEL.-We re? gret to say that since the closing of the Mills House, reports have been circulated that Major Horbach, the popular Superintendent of the Char? leston Hotel, has, in a monopolizing spirit, increased his rates of board, and we take the opportunity to give the statement an unqualified contra? diction. No change whatever in the charges have been made, but the facilities for the accommodation and conveniences of tho guests of tho hotel, which is undoubtedly the institution of this city, in the way of entertainment, have been, largely in? creased. The diuing hall has re? cently been entirely remodeled and refitted, and now compares favorably with tho most capacious and elegant to be found in any establishment North, whilst it fur surpasses all others South of tho Potomac; elabo? rate improvements have been made in every department of tho "Charles? ton;" its forco of waiters ha? been enlarged by courteous and attentive recruits; the cuisine not only equals but surpasses its former excellence, and in every particular friend Horbach is demonstrating his ability to. keep it fully up to its prestige. Not the least wise step he hus recent? ly taken has been to enlist the ser? vices of Mr. Robert Hamilton, whom tho traveling public will remember in connection with tho business as one of the most cuergotic and capable of Southern hotel clerks. Our best wishes attend tho "Charleston," and its popular conductors. [Churleslon Courier. OVR Bio BRIDGES.-The manifest destiny of the American nation to be first in everything is evinced in its great bridges, as well as in other re? spects. We" have borne away the first honors in Europe with our iron? clads, big guns, pianos, sewing ma? chines, locomotives aud agricultural implements, and when all the bridges in contemplation across our great rivers are completed, tho engineers on the otherside of the Atlantic will be still further astonished. In addi? tion to the two colossal suspension bridges across tho Niagara and Ohio Rivers, there aro four others about to bo built-oue at St. Louis, across the Mississippi; oue here, across the East River, and two across the Hud sou, at Fishkill and at thia city. A bridge at Louisville, across the Ohio, is also spoken of, and many others of lesser note. With an interminable net-work of railroads stretching far away towards tho setting sun, a countless steamboat fleet dotting a dozen mighty streams, untold agri? cultural aud mineral treasures in every quarter, awaiting only the beck of industry and capital to enrich the land, and immense bridges spanning some of the largest rivers in the world, the American nation may defy with impunity all the efforts of reck? less politicians or the sneers of Eu? ropean despots to mar its progress. [Sew York Herald, 3d. GEN. ROBERT E. LEE.-A letter from Lexington, Va., in the Nash? ville Banner, says: "Gen. Lee was recently confined to his room for some days, but he ia now performing his usual duties. I think there is a perceptible change in him since hu came to Lexington. Thin Hf? r?f l'iinfincmpiit <?00? not agree with him. He lacks that light? ness of step and brilliancy of eve that were peculiar to him when ne commanded his fiery legions at Chancellorsville, or even on that mournful day when he surrendered his war-worn but veteran soldiers of the lost cause." The contrast between Fanny Fern and her husband (Mr. Parton) is striking. She has a fresh, full face, and crimps her hair. Parton ia pale aud thin, with straight black hair. She look? like one of tho Merry Wives of Windsor; ho is a thoughtful Hamlet. She smiles often and loud; over bis face tho dim shadows slowly creep, and no smile turns down the corners of his month. ? SPECIAL NOTIGES. NO UKAL.TH WITHOUT VIOOH.. Tho wear and tear of life tells upon us all more or lees. What are vre but machines? The vital principio is tho motive, power. that keeps tho human engine iu motion; but as beams, pistons, connection pipos, condensers and boilers wear out, so do organs, muscles, tissues and all tho com? pound parts of that marvellous piece of work called man. The mechanism of the body requires to bo repaired and strengthened justas much as thc mechanism employed to grind corn,' or spiii cotton, or weave cloth. Steam cannot drive a broken shaft, or impel a drum or a wheel that is out of gear; nei? ther can tho vital force act through a paralyzed limb, or an inert organ. Aro you wearing out? Do you feel that any one of your organs-your stomach, liver, bowels, nervous system, or any other essential part of your organization, falters in its work? if so, repair the damage with tho most powerful, yet harmless, of invigoranta, HOSTEITER'S STOMACH BITTERS. Remember that debility is tho "beginning of the end"-that thc climax of aU weakness is a universal paralysis of the system, and that suoh paralysis*is tho imm?diate precursor of death. Don't wait for disease to commit its ravages before you commence the strengthening process. Keep tho whole body in a vigorous condition by prevent? ing, as far as possible, the inroads of do cay. Repair the waste of nature with nature's best tonio, Host otter's Bitters.
