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 to bo repealed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.
