TIIK LA XV OK IMPKA« HfilKXT. A writer in tho National Intelligencer, who signs himself "A Member of tho Baltimore Bar," hu» pubhshod a moat interesting ai tide on "Arrotit and Suspension from Office in case of tho Im¬ peachment of thc President," from which wc ex¬ tract the following lengthy quotation from Profes¬ sor Theo. W. Dwight, prepared as a lecture to Hie students of thc Columbia Colicgo Law School, New York, and published at length in thc American Law Register, Marou, 18G7 : "impeachments aro but a method of trying offences." 15 How., S. T. C8. "An impeachment ia a course of proceeding for treason, the aame as in case of grand jury, which is anothor method." 15 Id. 705. "Tlu-y (impeachment aud indiotmont) diffor in point of form.*' Id. 886. "Impeachment is in the natara of au indictment. lhere must bo a sufficient statement to bring the accused to plead and not to demur," per Finen, 16 Id. 354. Such is the language of mmy authorities. "Upon this topic it is important to maKO two in¬ quirios : Pi- st. Wbat were tho subjects under tho English law, which could bo tried by impeach¬ ment ; second, what casts under our system can ho tried iu this manner. lu examining flu- first question, it must bo conceded that thc judgments of the courts are not absolutely uniform/ This could hardly be expected both because there is no system of appeal, by moana of which authoritative precedents could bo established, and because tho House of Lords has been at times impelled by fac¬ tion, or overborne by impôttumty, or overawed by fear. 1 he weight of authority is, therefore, lo be foll J wed." So said tho great* Beldon, in a speech which he mado as ono of tho Committee of tho House in tho impeachment of Katclifle. "It were better to examine this matter according to the tules and foundations of this House than to rest upon scattered instances." (4 How. S. T. 47.) The decided weight of authority is, that no im¬ peachment will he except tor a truo crime, or in other words, lor a breach of the common or statute law, which, if committed within any county of England, would bc the subjoct of indictment or in¬ formation. This ptopositton is plainly inferrod fr in tho doctrino already ostablished," that im- peachmont is simply a method of i roce Jure. It presupposes tho existence of the crime, for the re dross of which a trial is instituted. What would have been tho check upon the most arbitrary ac tiou of the li ouse of Lords, if it might decide thc existence of a common law crimo, without refer euee to already settled míos V This tribunal was only rarely called to act. Buring the reign of the Tudor family its functions wore entirely suspended. Tho rules of the common law courts were in daily discussion and exercise. The fundamental dis¬ tinction between felonies and misdemeanors was fully recognized hy the Hotvse of Lords in cases of i m peach me n I. It ia assorted, without fear of successful coutra- diction, both upon authority and principio, not¬ withstanding a lew isolated* instances apparently to tho contrary, that no impeachment can bo had where the King's Bonch woul l uot have 1 old tu at a crime had been committed, had the case been properly before it. There are, no doubt, extreme cases favoring an opposito view. Thus, tho Duke of Richmond was impeached in 1641, among ot .er frivolous charges, on tho ground that ho had pro¬ posed an adjournment while a member ox* tho House of Lords. The (.'ominous were so offended with him for attempting to check thc enactment of a bill which they 1 ad much at heart, that they ac¬ companied the impeachment with a petition to the liing to remove the Duke from all offices ot public trust, In which petition tho Lords refused to join. (4 How., S. '£. 120.) This is but th» excess or tho lower House, resolved that no obstacle shall staud in the way of its shortest patti to its destined goal. Ia early times a quarrel between great noblemen excited tho interest of the public to such au extent that tho matter waa brought up tor disposition in Parliament. In such a feud between tho Bishop of Winchester and tho Duko of t'lou,£cat*r, A, 1». 1451, there was a formal award of the acquittal of the party accused, and tito Lords "enjoined thom to be lirui friends for the future, aud by such in¬ ducements wrought upon them that they shook hands, and parted witu all outward signs of love and agreement, which gave a mighty satisfaction to all people." (1 How., 8. T., 152.) Perhaps no ingenious plan has boon devised to settle the strifes of embittered politicians, since, while it soothes tho aptrit it secures notoriety. A strong instance of the exercise of a 1 road power of impeachment is found in tho last charge of a series made by tho Commons against ono of the worthless judges of Charles II. s reign. (Ch. J. Scrogga.) Ita words nre: "Whereas said W. Scrogga bong advanced to bo Chief Justice of the Court of King's Benoh, ought, hy a sober, grave and virtuous oom er.-at ion to nave given a good oxamplo to tho King's hege people, and to demean himself answerable to the dignity of ao eminent a atatiou; yet he, aaid Sir W. Soroggs, on tho con¬ trary, by hid frequent and notorious excesses and debaucheries, and his profano and nt-he'utieal dis¬ courses, doth daily affront Almighty God, dishon¬ or his Majesty, give Countenance and cucourago- ment to all manner of vice and wickedness, and bring the highest scandal on tho public justice of the kingdom." This was au article in au impeachment ibr lpgh treason Th? .artlulos were never triod, so that tbey only servo tb show how far tho doctrine of "constructive treason" may bc pushed by inge¬ nious committees. (13 Lords Journals, 737. ) Thu danger of a lobao construction of tho ju¬ dicial power of a legislative body was most strik¬ ingly shown When tho House of Commons, during the revolution, in cousequonoo of tho abolition of the House ot IiOrds,.had.cont(red within it both the power of impeachment and tho power of trial. At tno trial of James Naylor, an insane rautor. who would now be sent to a lunatic asvlum, there \\iia j a large minority voting VM put Ipn» HI death ibr blasphemy, The majority preyaUed by deciding to »hip him, übt him in the pillory, bore his tougue tbroup h with a hot iron, and to confine hun in Bridewell at hard labor. While the irregular eases upon tn. subjeot are fow, tho rule that a true crime must nave been committed ia aettled beyond diapute. Thia is dourly shown by the way iu which the House of Commons when flushed with power or chafed with iudignution rebel against it. Over and over arjaiu they assert that tho groat statute of 25 Edw. ill, defining treason, is not applicable i o trial by im¬ peachment. They plausibly maintained that thc statute was only for the courts of ordinär}* criminal malice, and (hat the statute itself applied a ditlbrdnt rule to trial by impeachment.' Lut the law w'iia set¬ tled, aftor the most extended and prolonged dis¬ cussions, in favor of the doctrine that tho court of impeachment must administer tho same law as the criminal court. (12 How., S. T., 1213; 8 ld., 346.) Th os tho Earl of Oviery was not tried iu A. D. 1669, as the offeuco charged was thought not sufficient to constitute treason, and tho case was directed to bc heard in a court of law. (6 How , tí. T., 917.) In the case of Inigo Jones, against whom a nhargo was made* nf pulling down a church, the commons reiiised to impeach, on the ground that it was A watter of private ~:,ut (4 Hatsoli's Precedents, Í32.) The stringency of these rules often lcd the Houses, when under excitement, to pass bills oj attainder. They could tnict that au olmxioui person was guilty, if they*could not prove his of¬ fence. This course was resorted to in the well- known case of the Earl of Stratford. So, too, when the Earl of Clarendon, in Charlos tho Second's time, could uot be successfully impeached, thc King intended to bring him before the Court of tho Lord High Steward, wh'eh could be organized BO as ti stxui'u conviction. 3 Campbell's Lord Chancellors 243-4, (Loud. Ed., ISIS.) The later and most authoritative decisions are clear to this" effect. In tho impeachment of the Earl of Macclesfield, who was a great lawyer, and at oue time Lord Chancellor, Ute caso was put ex¬ clusively on quell criminality 'as ls tho subject of an indictment. It was argifed that he had viola¬ ted the statute of C Ed. YL. C. 16. concerning tho administration oLjustice, while ho rested his de- fencj on the fact that it wits not criminal for a judgo to receive presents, either by common or statute )aw. The decision of this case against Macclesfield is criticised by Lord Mahon and oth¬ ers, but ia defended, by Campbell, on the ground that the statute of Ed. 6th was violated; 16 How. S. T. 823; 4 Camp., Lord Chau. 586. This is ono ol the best-considered cases on tho subject, and preceded ttie formation of our Constitution by only a few vears. The last case pf 'mp/Mhchnionl iu England,, thr.t '.ll Lord Melville, in 1SII6, fol malversation in office, m very instructivo. Thc question was put to the judges whether the acts with which ho was charged were unlawful, so as to be the subject of information or indictment. lt having been decided that they were not, Lord Melville was acquitted; ali How. S." T. 1170. These las' two derisions, made when there was an entire absence of party feeling, and the court acted throughout with judicial impartiality, deservedly outweighs seores of installées, if MIRV could bu produced, which havo occurred ii. the heat and porenzv of a revolution. The court in general re¬ lies with close dependence, upon the opinion of the commi u-law jndges on the law of cunio and cri¬ minal îvidenco. often exacting their continuous atten/ ince, to th** detriment ot other public btisi- nCIn*Lord Clarendon's case tho Lords inquired of the judges if there was any treason. As they an¬ swered MI tho negative, it was so decided. (4 Hat sell's Precedents, 153-4*. Seo also opinion tn th. case of the Earl of Danby, Id, 180.) In Warren number were permitted to proceed on their er ut (Id.) Their opinion waa asked on tho merits ol the case. The- text writers and hading Jumts are of thc same opinion. Says ttooddesoii: "lue trial differs not in essentials from criminal prosecutions heidie inferior courts. The same rules of evidence, the aame legal notious of crimes and punishments, prevail. For impeachments aro not. framed to alter thc law, but to cam* it ii to more effectual ex¬ ecution where it might i>e oostructod by tho lu- ilueiice or too powerful delinquents, or not casi i> discerned in the courts of ordinary jurisdiction, by reasou of the peculiar quality of the alleged crimes. The judgment thereof is to bo such as is wurrautod by legal priucij les or precedents.*' Lec¬ tures, vol. 2,' p. tm. So ( lushing in his "Law and Practice or Legislative Assemblies," says: ''The proceedings are condu ted substantially as they arc upon common judi'rai trials an to th« admis¬ sion or i ejection or testimony, the examination and cross-cxaminati n of witnesses, and tho legal doctrines as to cruues and misdemeanors," §20119. Lord Chancellor Cowper in an impeachment casi not long before .ur Revolution (A. D. 17i">). said: "Though one oí your Lordships suppose.-' this im¬ peachment to ')G out of th'; ordinary and common course of lav and justice, it is yet as much a course of proceeding according to the common law as any o-.lier whatever. If you bad been in¬ dicted, the indi tment must have been removed and brought before tho Houao of Lords, Parlia- mont sitting. lu that case, it ia true, yon hid been accuso«! by the grand jury of one county; in tho present tho whola body of tho Commons of Groat Britain, by their representatives, arc your accn' ors." l Hatsoli, 205. The framers Of tho New York Constitution of A. I). 1777 held this view, for they couple to¬ gether in the same sentence impeachments and indictments, as though they were only modes of trial : "In every trial on impeachment lor crimes or misdemeanors, the party impeached or indicted shall bc atlowcil counsel as in civil actions." Art. 31. Says Blackstone : "An impeachment ia a prosecution of thc already known and established law." 1 Com., 259. Tho judges were of tho opinion, in Lord Clarendon's caso, that tho ovi- doncc on an impeachment must bo the same as on an indictment. G How., S. T., 514. Mr. Wob- ster has well expounded tho whole subject in his speech in defence of Judge Prescott. Though he made an argument as counsel, yet his remarks on this point are carefully elaborated and characteriz¬ ed by (treat precision of statement. Webster's Works, vol. 5. pp. 513, 515. I have dwelt tho longeron this point because litany seem to think that a public officer can be impeached for a mere act of indecorum. On the contrary, he must have committed a true crime, not against tho law of England, bat against tho law of tho United States. As impeachment is nothing hut a mode of trial, the Constitution only adopts it at- a modo of procedure, leaving the crimes to which it is to bo applied to bo settled by tho general rules of criminal law. A basis for a very important concession has now been laid. It is ibis : As there arc under the laws of the United States no common-law crimes, but only those which aro contrary to some positive statutory rulo, there can be i/o impeachment ex¬ cept for a violation of a law of Congress, or for tho commission of a crime named in tho Constitution. English precedents concerning impeachable crimes are consequently not applicable. There was for a long time a iliictuation of opinion on tho point whether tho common law crimes did not exist un¬ der tho General Government, Justice Story lent the great weight ot Iiis iniluouco to the opinion in favor of their existence. His discussion of the subject of impeachment rests upon this view. Mr. Ilawlc is of the same opinion. Both of thoso emi¬ li nt writers admit that if there aro no common law crimes for which indictments can bo brought, thero are uoue for which impeachments can bo in¬ stituted. Mr. Ka wie is especially clear upon thia point : "Thc doctrine that there is no law of crlmcB except th it founded in statutes, renders impeach¬ ment a nullity in all cuses except the two express¬ ly mentioned in the Constitution, treason and bribery, until Congress shall pass laws declaring wliut shall constitute thu other high crimes and misdemeanors.'1 ( Uawlo on tho Constitution, p, 273, cd. 1829; Story on tho Constitution, title "Im¬ peachment.1 That thcro aro no crimes against tho United States which are not statutory, is fully proved by a great number of ca. os collected by Mr. Wharton in his work on criminal law. Though he dissents from this view, he acknowledges that it is settlod by the decisions. (§§ 103-174 ). The decisions of the Senate, as a court of impeachment, should not bo regarded as adverse to this view. In tho three cases already tried, of Pickering, Chase, and Blount, only one Pickering-was con¬ demned. His case was heard ex parle, aa ho did not appear, and was decided by a atrict party vote. (2 Hildreth's History, 518.) As far as precedent ia concerned, the question in that court is still open, and should be decided in accordance with prin¬ cipio. The result is. (hat unless the crime is specially n lined in tho Constitution, impeachments, like indictments, san only bc instituted for crimes com¬ mitted against tho 'statutory law of the United States. ''Suspension from Office.-Can the accused be suspended from office during tho progress, of tho trial ? This subject is of vast importance in caso of tho impeechiqent of a President, as an asser¬ tion, nf Bush à power might lead to the utmost confusion, mid, perhaps, to civil war. "1 strongly believe that thero can bo no suspen¬ sion from office, on two principio grouuds: 1st, from tho practico ia England; 2d, from the true construction of the language of thc United States Constitution. "Thus far have boen considered offices held at tho pleasure of the King. When the teuuro ia fixed and permanent, the case ia still strongor. In that caao, tho Commons will not even vote to ad¬ dress tlie King for removal from office, though no impeachment ia intended. Li other words, they will not in such a caso adopt a joint résolution asking lor the removal of an unpopular and ob¬ noxious minister, not charged with crime, though they may ask for the dismissal of such a minister from ónices hold at tho King's pleasure. Thia distinction was strongly marked in a discussion concerning one of the Dukes of Buckingham, (f> How. S. T., 1054.) "The Commons refused to address tho King to remove tho Duko from offices in which he had a dciinito or permanent tenure, but asked that ho might be removed from offices held at tho King's pleasure. Thero was in this case no impeach¬ ment; but. immediately afterwards, having re¬ solved to impeach tue Earl of Alington, tiny re¬ fuse') an addrcsu Eoe removal from any office. Them is good reason for the ditlerohco of action iii the two case's; where there is no charge of crine, tho King may bo asked to withdraw his fa¬ vor; whore a crime is alleged, thc withdrawal of patronage tacitly admits the charge, and exposes liie accused to" a loss of réputation, and mav di- mullah tho reasonable chance for an acquittai. '.Sus¡trn$lon from Office under thc Untied vales Constitution. -Where en officer, like the President, holds his office hy a certain tenure, the people, according to the p^qoiplos tif law have a right to bia contuvimos services, of which they cauunt ho deprived before his conviction for ail impeachable offence, unless there is something in tho language of tho Constitution which confers tho power of suspension by express words or ne¬ cessary implication. If the ojQoer bolds at the pleasure of the appointing power, ho may, of Ooaree, be arbitrarily removed hy tho person exer¬ cising the power of appointment. "There is uo express language in the Constitu¬ tion conferring the power of suspension, There is no necessary implication, heaauBO it has been shown by English practice tlint tho power to ira« peacn floes not involve the power tô suspend. ' lt is well, however, to go further dian this. I maintain that the history of thc Constitution, the debates upou it, and extemporary documents, plainly show that thc power nf 'suspension was studiously excluded. ,l What would be the effect of political impeach¬ ments upon our system of government, it u diffi¬ cult to Huv, AH analogy loads to tho conclusion tlir.t they should be avoided until the last extremi¬ ty, and that the trial should be preceded bv tho unmistakable verdict ot the people. There is pro¬ found wisdom in tho remark of that oo.und and calm lawyer, Sergeant Maynard, that "the trial and condemna'v.- ii'ono nub al common. Jaw will work more, upoff people' \hail ton, iuipe^hui'-u-*; ' ijo, I fowell, s. T. 1212.)

TIIK LA XV OK IMPKA« HfilKXT.

A writer in tho National Intelligencer, who signshimself "A Member of tho Baltimore Bar," hu»pubhshod a moat interesting ai tide on "Arrotitand Suspension from Office in case of tho Im¬peachment of thc President," from which wc ex¬

tract the following lengthy quotation from Profes¬sor Theo. W. Dwight, prepared as a lecture to Hiestudents of thc Columbia Colicgo Law School, NewYork, and published at length in thc AmericanLaw Register, Marou, 18G7 :

"impeachments aro but a method of tryingoffences." 15 How., S. T. C8. "An impeachmentia a course of proceeding for treason, the aame asin case of grand jury, which is anothor method."15 Id. 705. "Tlu-y (impeachment aud indiotmont)diffor in point of form.*' Id. 886. "Impeachmentis in the natara of au indictment. lhere must boa sufficient statement to bring the accused to pleadand not to demur," per Finen, 16 Id. 354. Such isthe language of mmy authorities."Upon this topic it is important to maKO two in¬

quirios : Pi- st. Wbat were tho subjects under thoEnglish law, which could bo tried by impeach¬ment ; second, what casts under our system canho tried iu this manner. lu examining flu- firstquestion, it must bo conceded that thc judgmentsof the courts are not absolutely uniform/ Thiscould hardly be expected both because there is nosystem of appeal, by moana of which authoritativeprecedents could bo established, and because thoHouse of Lords has been at times impelled by fac¬tion, or overborne by impôttumty, or overawed byfear. 1 he weight of authority is, therefore, lo befoll J wed." So said tho great* Beldon, in a speechwhich he mado as ono of tho Committee of thoHouse in tho impeachment of Katclifle. "It werebetter to examine this matter according to thetules and foundations of this House than to restupon scattered instances." (4 How. S. T. 47.)The decided weight of authority is, that no im¬peachment will he except tor a truo crime, or inother words, lor a breach of the common or statutelaw, which, if committed within any county ofEngland, would bc the subjoct of indictment or in¬formation. This ptopositton is plainly inferrodfr in tho doctrino already ostablished," that im-peachmont is simply a method of i roceJure. Itpresupposes tho existence of the crime, for the redross of which a trial is instituted. What wouldhave been tho check upon the most arbitrary actiou of the li ouse of Lords, if it might decide thcexistence of a common law crimo, without refereuee to already settled míos V This tribunal was

only rarely called to act. Buring the reign of theTudor family its functions wore entirely suspended.Tho rules of the common law courts were in dailydiscussion and exercise. The fundamental dis¬tinction between felonies and misdemeanors was

fully recognized hy the Hotvse of Lords in cases ofim peachmen I.

It ia assorted, without fear of successful coutra-diction, both upon authority and principio, not¬withstanding a lew isolated* instances apparentlyto tho contrary, that no impeachment can bo hadwhere the King's Bonch woul l uot have 1 old tu ata crime had been committed, had the case beenproperly before it. There are, no doubt, extremecases favoring an opposito view. Thus, tho Dukeof Richmond was impeached in 1641, among ot .erfrivolous charges, on tho ground that ho had pro¬posed an adjournment while a member ox* thoHouse of Lords. The (.'ominous were so offendedwith him for attempting to check thc enactment ofa bill which they 1 ad much at heart, that they ac¬companied the impeachment with a petition to theliing to remove the Duke from all offices ot publictrust, In which petition tho Lords refused to join.(4 How., S. '£. 120.) This is but th» excess or tholower House, resolved that no obstacle shall staudin the way of its shortest patti to its destined goal.Ia early times a quarrel between great noblemenexcited tho interest of the public to such au extentthat tho matter waa brought up tor disposition inParliament. In such a feud between tho Bishopof Winchester and tho Duko of t'lou,£cat*r, A, 1».1451, there was a formal award of the acquittal ofthe party accused, and tito Lords "enjoined thomto be lirui friends for the future, aud by such in¬ducements wrought upon them that they shookhands, and parted witu all outward signs of loveand agreement, which gave a mighty satisfactionto all people." (1 How., 8. T., 152.) Perhaps noingenious plan has boon devised to settle thestrifes of embittered politicians, since, while itsoothes tho aptrit it secures notoriety.A strong instance of the exercise of a 1 road

power of impeachment is found in tho last chargeof a series made by tho Commons against ono ofthe worthless judges of Charles II. s reign. (Ch.J. Scrogga.) Ita words nre: "Whereas said W.Scrogga bong advanced to bo Chief Justice of theCourt of King's Benoh, ought, hy a sober, graveand virtuous oom er.-at ion to nave given a goodoxamplo to tho King's hege people, and to demeanhimself answerable to the dignity of ao eminent a

atatiou; yet he, aaid Sir W. Soroggs, on tho con¬trary, by hid frequent and notorious excesses anddebaucheries, and his profano and nt-he'utieal dis¬courses, doth daily affront Almighty God, dishon¬or his Majesty, give Countenance and cucourago-ment to all manner of vice and wickedness, andbring the highest scandal on tho public justice ofthe kingdom."This was au article in au impeachment ibr lpgh

treason Th? .artlulos were never triod, so thattbey only servo tb show how far tho doctrine of"constructive treason" may bc pushed by inge¬nious committees. (13 Lords Journals, 737. )Thu danger of a lobao construction of tho ju¬

dicial power of a legislative body was most strik¬ingly shown When tho House of Commons, duringthe revolution, in cousequonoo of tho abolition ofthe House ot IiOrds,.had.cont(red within it boththe power of impeachment and tho power of trial.At tno trial of James Naylor, an insane rautor. whowould now be sent to a lunatic asvlum, there \\iia ja large minority voting VM put Ipn» HI death ibrblasphemy, The majority preyaUed by decidingto »hip him, übt him in the pillory, bore histougue tbroup h with a hot iron, and to confinehun in Bridewell at hard labor.

While the irregular eases upon tn. subjeot arefow, tho rule that a true crime must nave beencommitted ia aettled beyond diapute. Thia isdourly shown by the way iu which the House ofCommons when flushed with power or chafed withiudignution rebel against it. Over and over arjaiuthey assert that tho groat statute of 25 Edw. ill,defining treason, is not applicable i o trial by im¬peachment.They plausibly maintained that thc statute was

only for the courts of ordinär}* criminal malice,and (hat the statute itself applied a ditlbrdnt ruleto trial by impeachment.' Lut the law w'iia set¬tled, aftor the most extended and prolonged dis¬cussions, in favor of the doctrine that tho court ofimpeachment must administer tho same law asthe criminal court. (12 How., S. T., 1213; 8 ld.,346.) Th os tho Earl of Oviery was not tried iuA. D. 1669, as the offeuco charged was thought notsufficient to constitute treason, and tho case wasdirected to bc heard in a court of law. (6 How ,

tí. T., 917.) In the case of Inigo Jones, againstwhom a nhargo was made* nf pulling down achurch, the commons reiiised to impeach, on theground that it was A watter of private ~:,ut(4 Hatsoli's Precedents, Í32.)The stringency of these rules often lcd the

Houses, when under excitement, to pass bills ojattainder. They could tnict that au olmxiouiperson was guilty, if they*could not prove his of¬fence. This course was resorted to in the well-known case of the Earl of Stratford. So, too, whenthe Earl of Clarendon, in Charlos tho Second'stime, could uot be successfully impeached, thcKing intended to bring him before the Court oftho Lord High Steward, wh'eh could be organizedBO as ti stxui'u conviction. 3 Campbell's LordChancellors 243-4, (Loud. Ed., ISIS.)The later and most authoritative decisions are

clear to this" effect. In tho impeachment of theEarl of Macclesfield, who was a great lawyer, andat oue time Lord Chancellor, Ute caso was put ex¬

clusively on quell criminality 'as ls tho subject ofan indictment. It was argifed that he had viola¬ted the statute of C Ed. YL. C. 16. concerning thoadministration oLjustice, while ho rested his de-fencj on the fact that it wits not criminal for a

judgo to receive presents, either by common orstatute )aw. The decision of this case againstMacclesfield is criticised by Lord Mahon and oth¬ers, but ia defended, by Campbell, on the groundthat the statute of Ed. 6th was violated; 16 How.S. T. 823; 4 Camp., Lord Chau. 586. This is onool the best-considered cases on tho subject, andpreceded ttie formation of our Constitution byonly a few vears. The last case pf 'mp/Mhchnionliu England,, thr.t '.ll Lord Melville, in 1SII6, folmalversation in office, m very instructivo. Thcquestion was put to the judges whether the actswith which ho was charged were unlawful, so

as to be the subject of information or indictment.lt having been decided that they were not, LordMelville was acquitted; ali How. S." T. 1170. Theselas' two derisions, made when there was an entireabsence of party feeling, and the court actedthroughout with judicial impartiality, deservedlyoutweighs seores of installées, if MIRV could buproduced, which havo occurred ii. the heat andporenzv of a revolution. The court in general re¬

lies with close dependence, upon the opinion of thecommi u-law jndges on the law of cunio and cri¬minal îvidenco. often exacting their continuousatten/ ince, to th** detriment ot other public btisi-

nCIn*Lord Clarendon's case tho Lords inquired ofthe judges if there was any treason. As they an¬

swered MI tho negative, it was so decided. (4 Hat

sell's Precedents, 153-4*. Seo also opinion tn th.case of the Earl of Danby, Id, 180.) In Warren

number were permitted toproceed on their er ut

(Id.) Their opinion waa asked on tho merits ol

the case. The- text writers and hading Jumts are

of thc same opinion. Says ttooddesoii: "lue trialdiffers not in essentials from criminal prosecutionsheidie inferior courts. The same rules of evidence,the aame legal notious of crimes and punishments,prevail. For impeachments aro not. framed toalter thc law, but to cam* it ii to more effectual ex¬

ecution where it might i>e oostructod by tho lu-

ilueiice or too powerful delinquents, or not casi i>discerned in the courts of ordinary jurisdiction,by reasou of the peculiar quality of the allegedcrimes. The judgment thereof is to bo such as iswurrautod by legal priucij les or precedents.*' Lec¬tures, vol. 2,' p. tm. So ( lushing in his "Law andPractice or Legislative Assemblies," says: ''Theproceedings are condu ted substantially as theyarc upon common judi'rai trials an to th« admis¬sion or i ejection or testimony, the examinationand cross-cxaminati n of witnesses, and tho legaldoctrines as to cruues and misdemeanors," §20119.Lord Chancellor Cowper in an impeachment casinot long before .ur Revolution (A. D. 17i">). said:"Though one oí your Lordships suppose.-' this im¬

peachment to ')G out of th'; ordinary and commoncourse of lav and justice, it is yet as much acourse of proceeding according to the commonlaw as any o-.lier whatever. If you bad been in¬dicted, the indi tment must have been removedand brought before tho Houao of Lords, Parlia-

mont sitting. lu that case, it ia true, yon hidbeen accuso«! by the grand jury of one county; intho present tho whola body of tho Commons ofGroat Britain, by their representatives, arc youraccn' ors." l Hatsoli, 205.The framers Of tho New York Constitution of

A. I). 1777 held this view, for they couple to¬gether in the same sentence impeachments andindictments, as though they were only modes oftrial : "In every trial on impeachment lor crimesor misdemeanors, the party impeached or indictedshall bc atlowcil counsel as in civil actions." Art.31. Says Blackstone : "An impeachment ia aprosecution of thc already known and establishedlaw." 1 Com., 259. Tho judges were of thoopinion, in Lord Clarendon's caso, that tho ovi-doncc on an impeachment must bo the same ason an indictment. G How., S. T., 514. Mr. Wob-ster has well expounded tho whole subject in hisspeech in defence of Judge Prescott. Though hemade an argument as counsel, yet his remarks onthis point are carefully elaborated and characteriz¬ed by (treat precision of statement. Webster'sWorks, vol. 5. pp. 513, 515.

I have dwelt tho longeron this point becauselitany seem to think that a public officer can beimpeached for a mere act of indecorum. On thecontrary, he must have committed a true crime,not against tho law of England, bat against tholaw of tho United States. As impeachment isnothing hut a mode of trial, the Constitution onlyadopts it at- a modo of procedure, leaving thecrimes to which it is to bo applied to bo settled bytho general rules of criminal law.A basis for a very important concession has now

been laid. It is ibis : As there arc under the lawsof the United States no common-law crimes, butonly those which aro contrary to some positivestatutory rulo, there can be i/o impeachment ex¬cept for a violation of a law of Congress, or for thocommission of a crime named in tho Constitution.English precedents concerning impeachable crimesare consequently not applicable. There was for along time a iliictuation of opinion on tho pointwhether tho common law crimes did not exist un¬der tho General Government, Justice Story lentthe great weight ot Iiis iniluouco to the opinion infavor of their existence. His discussion of thesubject of impeachment rests upon this view. Mr.Ilawlc is of the same opinion. Both of thoso emi¬li nt writers admit that if there aro no commonlaw crimes for which indictments can bo brought,thero are uoue for which impeachments can bo in¬stituted. Mr. Kawie is especially clear upon thiapoint : "Thc doctrine that there is no law of crlmcBexcept th it founded in statutes, renders impeach¬ment a nullity in all cuses except the two express¬ly mentioned in the Constitution, treason andbribery, until Congress shall pass laws declaringwliut shall constitute thu other high crimes andmisdemeanors.'1 ( Uawlo on tho Constitution, p,273, cd. 1829; Story on tho Constitution, title "Im¬peachment.1That thcro aro no crimes against tho United

States which are not statutory, is fully proved by agreat number of ca. os collected by Mr. Whartonin his work on criminal law. Though he dissentsfrom this view, he acknowledges that it is settlodby the decisions. (§§ 103-174 ). The decisions ofthe Senate, as a court of impeachment, should notbo regarded as adverse to this view.

In tho three cases already tried, of Pickering,Chase, and Blount, only one Pickering-was con¬demned. His case was heard ex parle, aa ho didnot appear, and was decided by a atrict party vote.(2 Hildreth's History, 518.) As far as precedent iaconcerned, the question in that court is still open,and should be decided in accordance with prin¬cipio.The result is. (hat unless the crime is speciallyn lined in tho Constitution, impeachments, likeindictments, san only bc instituted for crimes com¬mitted against tho 'statutory law of the UnitedStates.

''Suspension from Office.-Can the accused besuspended from office during tho progress, of thotrial ? This subject is of vast importance in casoof tho impeechiqent of a President, as an asser¬tion, nf Bush à power might lead to the utmostconfusion, mid, perhaps, to civil war.

"1 strongly believe that thero can bo no suspen¬sion from office, on two principio grouuds: 1st,from tho practico ia England; 2d, from the trueconstruction of the language of thc United StatesConstitution."Thus far have boen considered offices held at

tho pleasure of the King. When the teuuro iafixed and permanent, the case ia still strongor. Inthat caao, tho Commons will not even vote to ad¬dress tlie King for removal from office, though noimpeachment ia intended. Li other words, theywill not in such a caso adopt a joint résolutionasking lor the removal of an unpopular and ob¬noxious minister, not charged with crime, thoughthey may ask for the dismissal of such a ministerfrom ónices hold at tho King's pleasure. Thiadistinction was strongly marked in a discussionconcerning one of the Dukes of Buckingham, (f>How. S. T., 1054.)"The Commons refused to address tho King to

remove tho Duko from offices in which he had adciinito or permanent tenure, but asked that homight be removed from offices held at tho King'spleasure. Thero was in this case no impeach¬ment; but. immediately afterwards, having re¬solved to impeach tue Earl of Alington, tiny re¬fuse') an addrcsu Eoe removal from any office.Them is good reason for the ditlerohco of actioniii the two case's; where there is no charge ofcrine, tho King may bo asked to withdraw his fa¬vor; whore a crime is alleged, thc withdrawal ofpatronage tacitly admits the charge, and exposesliie accused to" a loss of réputation, and mav di-mullah tho reasonable chance for an acquittai.

'.Sus¡trn$lon from Office under thc Untiedvales Constitution. -Where en officer, like thePresident, holds his office hy a certain tenure,the people, according to the p^qoiplos tif law havea right to bia contuvimos services, of which theycauunt ho deprived before his conviction for ailimpeachable offence, unless there is something intho language of tho Constitution which conferstho power of suspension by express words or ne¬

cessary implication. If the ojQoer bolds at thepleasure of the appointing power, ho may, ofOoaree, be arbitrarily removed hy tho person exer¬cising the power of appointment."There is uo express language in the Constitu¬

tion conferring the power of suspension, There isno necessary implication, heaauBO it has beenshown by English practice tlint tho power to ira«peacn floes not involve the power tô suspend.

' lt is well, however, to go further dian this. Imaintain that the history of thc Constitution, thedebates upou it, and extemporary documents,plainly show that thc power nf 'suspension was

studiously excluded.,l What would be the effect of political impeach¬

ments upon our system of government, it u diffi¬cult to Huv, AH analogy loads to tho conclusiontlir.t they should be avoided until the last extremi¬ty, and that the trial should be preceded bv thounmistakable verdict ot the people. There is pro¬found wisdom in tho remark of that oo.und andcalm lawyer, Sergeant Maynard, that "the trial andcondemna'v.- ii'ono nub al common. Jaw will workmore, upoff people' \hail ton, iuipe^hui'-u-*; '

A Secret Letter from .Napoleon.The London (¡lobe prints the following lcltcr of

Napoleon III., which has never beicre been pub¬lished, with the remark chat it shows tho viewswhUJi tho French Emperor entertained, or at leastwhich he wished the public to believe bo enter¬tained, a year ago:

"AUGUST 12, lbw."Mu Dear Monsieur de Lavaitíle:"1 call your serions attention to tho following

facts. Itt the miikst of tho conversation whichtook place between Benedetta and M. de Bismarck,fti. Drouyu de Lhuys broached the. idea to send toBerlin a draft of a convention oi| thu subject of thecompensations to which we may be entitled."Thia convention, in my opinion, ought to have

boon kept secret; hut it lias been noised abroad,and tho newspapers gn to the length ol'sayingthat the provinces of the Rhino have hoon refusedto us.

"lt results from my conversation with Bone-dotti, that we should have all Gcruymy against usfor a very Muall advantage.

"It is important not to let public opinion go as¬tray on this point, (let these rumors contradict¬ed very energetically in tho newspapers. 1 havewritten in this .sense to kl. Drouyu do Lhuys.

The Journal or Commerce, m speaking of theSouth, says: "Why do wc ha\ so îittîo startlingnew.; from thc South i:ow-a-Jay»ï How does ithappen thai llicm are no Southern riots worthtelegraphing about tlicsc times '.' Why is it, tuthc present moment, that thu South .-applies lessof tho daily pabulum or murder and other crimesthan any oilier part oj the country r There mustbe spme gopd reason ^r this groat change fromtho very bad condition of things in the same re¬gion some mouths ago. 'This reason, as wo un¬derstand it, is found m the improved system afmilitary government which rests upon the South¬ern people. Not only have tho objectionable I>is-triet Commanders ocen roiuovetl, and men ofjuster ami morn amiable dispositions (but notreader -.aloin) b ion substituted for them, but thewhole Htylo of governing the South has been toneddown ami ma lo to resemble civil administrationrather than martial law. The Soothern peoplo,white and' black, appreciate thin relaxation fromthe grimness or tho harsh military system, andthey (ibo.*, their gratitude b\' their better beha¬vior, lu tiio South, as in the North aud every¬where else, is demonstrated over again (he vener¬able truth that that government is the best whichgoverns tho least. Under good-natured rulers,the Southern people lei I mor,, peaceful, moie in¬dustrious, unit a«n bolter citizens every way thanwhen they aro lorded over by commanders who are
