Now, reader, did you ever think that these bold, defiant, energetic, persevering, success- | fal basiness men are always those who are in perfect health? You never hear such men complain of bemg melancholy, of nervousness, of palpitation of the heart. They are never afraid they cannot succeed im business; they don’t be- come sad and discouraged; they are always polite ‘end pleasant in the company of ladies, and look you and them right in the fsce—none of your down- cast looks or any other meanness about them. I do not mean those who keep the organs inflamed by running to excess. These wil not only ruin their constitutions, but also those they do business with or for. How many men, from badly-cured diseases and excesses, have brought about that state of weak- ness in those orgars that has reduced the general system so much as to induce almost every other disease—idiocy, luuecy, paralysis, spinal affec- tions, suicide, and almost every other form of dis- ease which bumanity Is heirto.and the real cause © the trouble scarcely ever suspected. and have doctored for all but the right one.

Rumors afloat in plenty. “Grimes is pledged against convi’- tion” say the bears, “Fessenden has expressed himself against conviction, to Morrill? “Sprague, Fowler, Van Winkle and Ross will vote m When the attempt is made, howev- ¢r, to trace home any of these allegatious they are found to dwindle like the story of the hundred black cats. Mach import- ance is attached to the course of Mr. Fessenden from the belief entertained by many that some half dozen of the Senators may fol- low his lead. But wili he vote “no;” or will he vote “no” all the way through! It may be that he has expressed doubts to his colleague concerning certain articles of the indictment, But wiil he vote no on the tennre-of-office ar- ticle? + Fessenden” is the name uppermost to-day. Mr. Bingham talks eloquently and well, but everybody seems to be thinking about Fessenden. Of any group in conversation it may safely be predicted that they are discus- sing—Fessenden. And until the final yote 1s taken no name will probably turn up so often. Mr. Bingham stated to day that he expected to conclude this afternoon. He wisely avoids a three day’s speech. Men, gods, and reporters abhor a three day’s speech. The verdict of the galleries is complimentary to his speech of to-day—more compact and télling than that of yesterday. If he concludes to-day the orders and addi- tional rnles now pending before the Senate, sitting as an impeachment court, will come up for consideration to-morrow. Among these is the rule proposed by Mr. Sumner, providing that on a conviction by the Senate it shall be the duty of the Presiding Officer forthwith to Pronounce the removal from office of the con- victed person. HERE, Too!—The New York Trilune cautions people in the country against crediting cor- respondents’ stories of women’s gambling sa- loons and other morbid metropolitan manifes- tations im that city, Of the authors of these scandalous stories it says: “This city is infested by a class of seedy Bohemians, whose natural taste tor lying, added to pressing necessity for food and toddy, compel them to invent such old wives’ fables at the modetate price of two cents aline. New York is bad, we know: but we hope few readers are simple enough to put faith in the picture drawn by the irresponsible ragged vagabonds—the very chiffoniers of the pen.” The same caution should be given to stories afloat in regard to women’s gambling saloons in this city. We have no idea that any such concern ever existed except im the imagination ofsome Bohemian of the class referred to by the Tribune. Tue Reconstavction ComMittxe held a meeting this morning, and had under consid- eration the question of the Arkansas Constitu- tion, and whether it was best to recommend the admis-ion of Representatives from that State, The subject was discussed, but no defi- nite conclusion was reached. It is under-tood thrt 4 majority of the committee are in favor of allowing admission to thes Representatives ‘is soon as the impeachment trial is ended. THE SLIGHT VALUE of most of the current speculations upon the result of the Impeach- al is shown by the fact that «J, ot the New York World. ina column or 1 of Yaticination, uniformly puts down Senator Daniel S. Norton, of Minnesota, as a Radical. Mr. Norton was elected as a war Democrat. and bas uniformly yoted and acted with bis side of the chamber. Epitor Star :—Newspapers having report- ed some errors in regard to the duei which took place on Sunday morning near Balumore, you can, on the best authority, state that the antagonist of General Lawrence was not Count Lottum, but Baron Kusserow, of the Prussian Legation, and that the affair was set- tied in the most gallant and honorable way for the two gentlemen.

The .nasses of the party are determined not to let their representatives sell them out.”” ——It bas been decided to hold the next Maine Republican State Conventian in Port- land, on the sth of July. The call will shortly be out. The Democrats hold their State Con- vention in Augusta, on the 23d of June. In the eastern section of the State the ultra wing of the party have inaugurated a movement to put in nomination as their randidate for Governor, Gorham L. Boynton, of Bangor: ——The Louisville Democrat (Democratic) suggests that in case the President be deposed, Public meetings be held all over the country to protest against the great wrong, and to take counsel logether as to the best course topursue. The Democrat thinks that New York city, with its Democratic majority of sixty thousand, should commence the work, and that such men as Judge Curtis, General Sherman, General Han cock, General Schofield, Senator Johnson, and Chief Justice Chase be invited to address the meetings. —— Mr. August Belmont bas written to the Congressional Democratic Executive Commit- tee announcing that it would be imposible to get the National Executive Committee tozeth- er in time to change the day for the assembling of the National Democratic Convertion.

The amount of coin in the Treasury has increased $7,30,010,32, snd the amount of currency has increased $8,944.109.45; making a decresase in the total amount of debt less cash in the Treasury of 18,650,859.50, A DELEGATION of Republican Pennsylva- nia politicians, including two or three dele- gates to the Chicago Convention, have arrived here and taken quarters at Willards’, They come here to look after impeachment, inci- dentally, but mainly to see what are the chances of Gov.

It occurred near Mount Ie Sales Con vent, Baltimore, Sunday evening, » parties being Haron Kusserow, secretary oi the Prussian Legation, aud General A. Gallatin Lawrence, of Rhode Island. Le Comte de Lotium, attache of the Prussian Legation, acted as second for the Count, and Mr. W. J. Slidell, of Newport, R. I., for the Gen- eral. But one shot was fired, the Count shoot- ing high at the word. General Lawrence from ome cause did not shoot, After the fire an ex- planation occurred which was satisfactory to all parties, and the principals with their'sec- onds and one or two other gentlemen whe had Secompanied them returned to this city. The difficulty, itis stated, occurred at a party here, where General Lawrence, acting. it 1s stated, under a misapprehension, resented a speech of the Baron's. General Lawrence was formerly U.S. Minister to Costa Rica. 11 is stated tha a remark made by Mrs. Lawrence to Baron Kusserow in regard to a lady of his acquain- tance, elicited a sharp reply irom him that wus deemed insulting by General Lawrence, INTERNAL REVENUE.—The receipts from this source to-day were S46: THE (RI IN THE BRITISH CABI- NET. Resignation of the British Ministr: Ministry to be formed by Mr. Debate in the House of Commons. Cable dispatches of last night announce the important intelligence that the British Mints- try has resigned, all compromises offered by Disraeli in order to bridge over tne breach un- Ul after the general election under the new re- form bills haying been rejected. Lord Stanley, Earl of Malesburg, and Gathorne Hardy refuse absolutely to serve under Disraeli, Mr. Glad- stone was immediately sent for by the Queen, and to him willbe entrusted the formation of the new Ministry. The new Cabinet is not made yet, but will no doubt be a compromise. There was a very tull house at the opening of the session of the House of Commons last night. The Prince of Wales and Prince Chris- an, of Schleswig-Holstein were amoug the distinguished visitors present. Great interest was manifested in the proceedings, and much excitement appeared among the members, The Premier and Gladstone were loudly cheered as they took their seats. D'Israe!i rose and was greeted with cheers from the ministerial bench. He reviewed the course of the Tory adminis- tration, which, at the outset, was without a majority of supporters in the House, and spoke of its uniform success, so entire, indeed, that even its opponents acknowledged it. On Thursday last, on a vote upon the first of a se- Ties of resolutions, the Ministry encountered a new and sudden question, which threatened confusion to Ireland, and ultimately the over- throw of the English Church, the effect of which would be the absorption of all sects in the Church of Rome. To ibis measure he could not assent, and he asked of the House time to Advise with the Queen on the new attitude of affairs. Her Majesty had heard his statement, and bad not only declined his tendered resig- nation, but had urged him not to dissolye Par- liament in its present anomalous circumstances, until an appeal could be made to the new con- stituences, and this he hoped to do with the aid of the House. He deprecated the urgency with which Mr. Gladstone had pressed the resolves, and hoped that the suspension of the orders of the day would now, as he was ready to give to some other gentlemen the right to carry on the discussion, if debate must be. Mr. Gladstone said the Premier's praise ot Tories was not only in bad taste, but especial- ly that portion of it respecting finance. Mr. Gladstone doubted whether the eulogi- um passed upon the Premier wasa chal- lenge to the opposition or a sop to the Tories to persuade them to remain in office. He laughed at the ery of danger to the Established Church of England, and at the Church of Rome ab- sorbing all other sects. It was unprecedented that a Ministry which had been beaten by six- ty-five majority should think of dissolving Parliament. {t might be right to elect a new Parliament to settle the question of the Irish Church; but its firstduty when chosen would be to seitle the Ministry itself. The Premier's course was unconstitutional. The House was hostile to the Ministry, and it would not be wanted to govern the country till the fall. Meantime the fate of Ireland and other great questions would remain in suspense, The duty of the Liberals was clearly to follow up the Tesolves with a oe action, thus clear- ing the way of new Parliament. ‘Bhey oon. [Cheers.] They had no bargains to make. The Premier bad said nothing would change the course of the Ministry. He [Mr. ladstone] would not urge the suspension of | the orders to-night if the Ministers would al- low the earliest possible day for the considera- tion of the resolves. Ifthey the House. @ bill should follow suspen: 1. appoint. ments in the lirsh Church. The next step tbreatter would be for the Ministry to take. Mr. Robert Lowe said, after the Ministers had nuilitied the will of the House, they had the audacity to ask for the control of monthsto unconsututional. Mr. Jobn Bright said the Premier's statemen would amaze tl FORTIETH CONGRESS, This Afternoon’s Proceedings, IMPEACHMENT. CONTINUATION OF MANAGER BING- HAM’S ARGUMENT. a TTEspay, May 5, 1568. Senatr.—Senator Cameron moved that the membrrs of the Medical Association now in session in this city be invited to occupy seats in the galleries, without tickets. Senator Sumner.—I hope so. Senator Morrill (Vt.) asked how many mem- bers there were of the association, nator Cameron said about 200), ator Drake objected to the resolution, as under it any man could present himself to the doorkeeper and claim admission under the plea that he wa: member of the association. If these gentlemen were to be allowed to enter by the grace of the Senate, they should be provided with tickets. Senator Grimes asked what hour was set for the Court of Im nt to convene. The President pro tem. said 12 o'clock, and then pnt the motion of Senator Cameron, when it was disagreed to. The President pro tem then surrendered the chair to the Chiet Justice, and the Coart of Im- peachment was opened with the usual formal: ties. The Chief Justice notified Mr. Bingham to proceed. Mr. Bingham would do injustice to the peo- ple he represented if he did not acknowledge ‘is indebiedness to the Senate for the kind at- tention that had been paid to his remarks. When be had the honor to close his remarks on esterday he was speaking as to whether the President had the power to remove a Head ofa Department, and to fill the vacancy then created by himself during the session of the Senate, without an express law giving him the authority so to do. If there was mo such au- thority, then the President was guilty as charged in the Ist, 2d, 3d, 8th, and i1th arti- cles, He had yiolated the express letter of the Constitution, and was criminally guilty,and his intent was criminal. The act has been proved to have been done, and has been proved to be unlawful. No proof is required that the in- tent was criminal—that 1s the regular form of the indictment. It is impossible to go into the hidden recesses of a man's mind and discover his intent, but a man's purposes are always judged of by his actions, The same question as been before raised in a case similar to this, and Strafford knelt before the assembled ma- jesty of England, and made such answer as to forever settle the question. Mr. B. here quoted from the language of Strafford, that no unlaw- ful acts could ever be justitied by any plea of good intentions. On this subject of intent, he (Mr. B.) might illustrate the utter inuulity of the position assumed by the counsel by in- stancmg the conduct of certain fanatics in the reign of Frederick the Second. who put little children to death that they might go to heaven; bathe bad not heard that this plea for thus treating these sunny hearts and sunny faces had any effect in the courts of justice. He dis- miseed this idea as not being worthy of further notice. He ought toask the pardon of Senators for dwelling at all on this proposition of in- tent. and with all respect to the distinguished gentieman who made it, he thought it unworthy 1 them and unworthy of the piace. He now returned to his proposition whether the President had any right to violate this law. if not then he was guilty of violating the Con- stitution. Every line and word of the argu- ments uttered by the learned counsel was to en- | deayor to connect the power of removal and ap. pointment during the sess:on of the Senate and this was aconfession of guilty in their part of their client. There was an appointment made | here in direct violation of the law and the Constitution, and in violation of any contrac. tion put upon it, and he denied that any word bad escaped from the lips of his learned and accomplished friend, who repre- sented Ohio on this floor, (Mr. Sherman.) in Teference to any power of the President to Temove during the session of the Senate and with all their ability they had been unable to find any out of ell which they had quoted. The Constitution, after providing for the ap- | pointment of certain officers, goes on to say that Congress may vest the absolute appoiut- ment of other inferior officers in the President. And who will say that Cabinet officers are in_ ferior officers! But, say the learned counsel, he only made a temporary appointment. Well, the counsel are not strong enough for their client. He (Mr. B.) would not, however, stand upon quibbles and technicalities: he stood upon the broad ground of the Constitution, and maintained that the President bad not the slightest power to appoint or remove any offi- cer, high or low, without express authority of law for it, and that there was no power whatever given him to judicially deter- | mine upon any law. Mr. B. here read from the answer of the President claiming the power of removal under the Constitution. in answer to this he would say that it was well known that when the Constitution was on trial before the people it was not dreamed that any such power of removal was conferred upon the President: and the power was given to the representatives of the people to impeach him for violating the Constitution and the laws, and no earthly tribunal had the right to inter- fere, and for the proof of this he referred to Hamilton, in the 77th number of the Federalist. He agreed with Hamilton, that it was utter ab- surdity for any man, no matter hew great his learning and ‘attainments, to contend that the executive power of removal and appointment was absolutely vested in the President, Web- ster said the appointing power was vested in the President and the Senate, and the power of re- moval was connected with it, Whatanswerean be given to those interpretations of the Consti- tution by Hamilton and Webster! None excep: & reference to the acts of 1789 and 1795, and the debates of "89, but neither the acts themselves, nor the debates bear out any construction giv- ing the President the power of removal during the session of the Senate. It has been long ago decided by the Supreme Court that the lan- guape of ‘any individnal member-is not to be considered a8 the proper construction of any Jaw, and it will be a sorry day for this country wheu language used im the heat of debate 1s to be accepted as a ptoper construction of a law. Itis folly to think that the President can be justified A violating the express letter of the Constitution, and in controlling the whole vast Patronage of tbe Government, amounting to meny millions, by filling up the offices with his supple tools. The pewer of removal is a legislative grant, and he admitted that it had been exercised during the recess of the Sen- ate, and it might be allowed in a Presi- dent who could be trusted, but not with who had betrayed his trust. Such a one should be removed from office. No such power had ever been claimed by any President. Mr. Adams. in bis letter to his Secretary of State, asked him to resign before the session of the Senate. The record of this matter was yery obscure, but he (Mr. B.) thought it but due to the memory of that great man to say that he did not believe Mr. Adams issued the order of remoyal after the session of the Senate commenced. He immediately sentin the name of John Marshall as the successor, thus show- ing his interpretation of and reverence for the Constitution. All the subtleties of the counsel could not torture this action of the patriot Adams into any precedent to excuse the acts of the President. In the words of John Marshall, if the President has unlimited power to fill vacancies, your Constitution is but a splendid bauble, and is not worth the paper it fs printed upon. If the Constitution means what it says, that the Presi- dent’s power of appointment is limited to vacancies arising during the recess, then the President's removal and appointment of a head of a Department in the utter absence of any law. he is guilty of a plain violation of the If the Presiden’ Constitution. te, cannot be terminated except during the pleas- ture of the President, and then what becomes of the Senate’s ordinary power. He this proposition, and if any man could answer for . Noman, no. human ij aity can torture ihe rovision of the Constitution into s grant power. If such a construction wed tna your’ Government: tae bat ernment 0 5 that there can be no donb: about it. Although he bad not examined into it very lately, he felt justified in saying that there was no case on record where the Supreme Court had clearly decided against the constitutionality of a law of a Congress. T! was no such decision in the Dred Scort case, and Congress would understand what ne meant He wold be excused from quoting from some of the decisions of the Supreme Court in proof of this assertion. and yet the President assumes to do what the Supreme Court itself would not attempt. A law must be obeyed and respected nstitutional by the President and people Until it is authoritively and by the proper tri- bunal declared to be unconstitutional. Bat Andrew Jobnson is not tne tribucal which is to decide upon this question, and that is the is- sue which is now before the Senate. Hr claims the right to determine judicially upon all laws, And considering the operations of Andrew Johnson's mind, if the Seriate by its judgment concedes to Andrew Jounson, the perogative which he claims, of ruling judicially on ail laws, God knows to what conclusions he will not come to; he may consider that every inw which you pass, encrouches upon his rights. It will place him above all power, beyond ali reach. He will be above the Courts, and noth- ing but the charge of corruption will reach him. It wyll invest him with more than kingly power, it will place the servant above the master; and the day that the American peo- ie concede Andrew Johnson's claim to place imself above the Constitution the laws that day will they prove themselves unworthy of the great trusts which bave been committed to them, and will deserve to forfeit all their liberties. But be had no fears of such a result; people would ia the futare, as they had in the past, insist that their President should obey their Constitution and the laws made under it by their duly elected representatives. The gen leman (Mr. Eyarc) had spoken of the struggle that was to come, if the President was convicted, between tne supremacy of the Con- stitution and the omnipotence of Congress: and PLTHAPS the gentleman would be ene of the leaders in that struggle. He (Mr. 8.) nor his as- sociates had said nothing which justified this allusion to the omnipotence of Congress. The rtleman could frichten nobodyby this clamor. Vhat was there in the omnipotence of Congress The House of Repreeentatives was elected every two years by the suffrages of 8 free peo. ple, and to that people were amenable. There ‘was nothing omnipotent but God and the peo- ple. The Congress was responsible to no one under God's heaven but the people, and if they were to be responsible to any one else, in God's name let it not be Andrew Johneon. The gen- tleman had spoken of those words written on the tablets of stone by the common Father of us all: “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, tor the Lord will not hold him guiltless who taketh his name in vain.” It was not well in the gentleman to in- timate that the House of Representatives were inspired by hate, and regardless of their con- scienee, when in pursuance of their right and duty they presented these articles of impeach- ment; nor was it well in the gentleman to stand up here and intimate that the Senate was pot mindful of the solemu obligntions resting upon them by their passage of the resolution relative to the re. moval of Mr. Stanton. He had no doubt that all the charges which bad been brought in the name of outraged people against this guilty President had been proved. That these sev- eral acts so shown are impeachable has beea proved. To deny it is,as has already been said, to plabe the President above all law and all Constitution: to elevate the servant above his masters. We have shown him guilty of maladministration, as no man was ever guilly b& fore in this country. We have shown that he bas defied the Se ished him. He has contemptuously spurned your laws on the ground that he wishes to de- cide their constitutionslity, and th at the time that <uits his good pleasure. It is an in- sult to the human understanding to <et up uch a defence. Tt i useless to waste words nit, The articles of impeachment are as clearly drawn a to be intelligible to all the chittiren in the land who are able to leave their mother’s arms. The whole case is that he has the power to set aside the peoples’ laws: to set up his own will agains! the Copstitution; to suspend indefinitely the Tight of impeachment, vested in the peoples” representatives, until, in hix own time. a judi- cial decision can be obtained on a law. This is the whole case, there is nothing more of it. It touches the nation’s life and the peoples’ liber ties, and the American people will never sub- mit to it, He now maintained that there was no power whatever in the President to remove Mr.Stanton. If the tenure was at the pleasure of the President this might be, but he denied it. The tenure rests exclusively in the Constitu- , tion and the provisions of law. The act of ini2 repealed. as it were, the acts of “and. It provided for the removal and suspension of all officers then appointed and to be appointed, by and with the advice and consertof the Senate, and no sophistry can change the plain pro- Visions of the law. unsel had endeay~ ored to get up @ distinction between the office and the person, but that will uct avail them. There is no such dislinction. The law expressly provides for the person who holds the office. In certain cases during the re- cess of the Senate, and at no other time, he can suspend. The law is so plain that no man can misunderstand it. [t is admitted that the Sec- retary of War, and every otuer officer holding positions at the time of the passage of this act ‘was wifhin the body of the act, and the Presi- dent was absolutely prohibited from removing them, but it is said that the Cabinet officers ay pointed by Mr. Lincoln are excepted by the proviso. Webster says that no excepuons can claimed that are not expressly stated. and he (Mr. B.) denied that the language of Mr. Sher- Man Was susceptible of any such interpreta- tion xs nad been claimed by the counsel. Tue President has more fully developed his charac. ter. Itis understood by the country and the whole civilized world that the President now undertakes to make himself superior to the Constitution and laws of the people whose trust he has betrayed. He claims to have acted under the Constitution. On the 12th ot August, 1802. he issued an order suspend- ing Edwin M. Stanton, What provision is there in the Constitution giving the President the power to suspend any officer, or where is the power given in thy law before the passs of the tenuie-of-office act. Such a thing as tiv Suspension of the Head of a Department had never before been heard of in the history of th. country. He did not intend that the President should cover up his villiany by changing front. His message announcing the suspe sion, and his letter notifying Mr. McCallech, Secretary of the Treasury, of the sion, expressly recognized the he did not recogn zed the validity of the act why did be act under it. The answer covers the President with tgnominy. He (the Presi- dent) would recognize the law; he would sus- pend Mr, Stanton under its provisions, and if the Senate coneurred in the rousons for sus- sion, well and good, if not he wouid go ck on his record, defy the law, and remoy Mr. Stanton. He knew that Mr. Stanton wa= not legally disqualified, that no criminal charge could be brought against him, bac he mace up bis mied to remove him. and ‘did re- move him in violation of the provisions of this ect. Doing this, he stands confessedly gwity before the Senate and the Count At210 p. m. the usual reecss was tuk Ho met at 12 o'clock. The Sp: aker announced the following as the Special Committee ordered yesterday to inves- tigate the charges preferred by Mr. Washburne G) against Mr. Donnelly:—Nathani P. tanks, Mass.; Francis Thomas, Maryland: Luke P.
