l.\IPEACIIMENT.—Tllc trial of the acting
President before the Senate for high crimes
and misdemeanors is now a fixed fact. In
this condition of things there is little use in
discussing Mr. J ohnson’s innocence or crimi-
nality. The trial and verdict will determine
these points. That the national faith seems
to have grown stronger, no one can doubt
who has watched the current of events.
Confidence seems again restored among
business-men. Gold-has run down and the
ship of state survives the wave of popular
exitemcnt without even a sheer from the on-
ward course. The most humiliating and an-
noying fact connected with the transaction,
to Mr. Johnson, must be that his chief advi-
sers reproach him with having acted rashly
and nnadvisedly, while the better class of
his late democratic adulators, including the
tl’orld. seem to have espoused the same sub-
lime indifference of the, Hoosier, whose wife
engaged the bear—“ dont care which whips.”
ft is a sad and humiliating event, yet peace
and quiet and restored business interests are
the imperative exactions of the hour, and the
nation which has waged a fearful war and
withs‘ood the murder of one President, can
safely undergo a calm and legal trial and
cm) fiction or acquittalof another.

in coiru-iion of an error, long since “gone
by” and of which there was no probability
of discu‘vci'y and exposure. In view of
what has r‘cccntly transpired'at Bethel, the
remittance was very appropriately marked
“Consc once Money.” The culprit is forgiv-

turn to specie payment, before a return of

A New Enterprise.
A new, and indeed one of the most impor- ‘
taintentcrprlscs for the advancement Of the ;
local interests of Nor walk has been matured
during the past week. It only needs the
(apifal and co-Opcrntivc influence and aid "of
those interested in the welfare Of Norwalk, ‘
to secure its nearly immediate accomplish- ‘
ment. The proposition is for the erection of I
a large first-class hotel for summer boarders ;
from the city mainly, during the pleasure l
season, and arrainged for families who preo
for to board to keeping house. A site has
been selected of over 200 feet front, compris-
ing eight stores beneath, and with dining
halls and parlors on the second story,-and
lodging and living rooms to the fourth and
filth stories. Its cost will be about $100,000.
That it can be made a paginginvcsiment, as
well as prove of losing and most substantial
, advantage to the town, are clearly demon-
strated by the parties developing the enter-
prise. We most earnestly hope the matter
may receive, as we have no doubt it will, the
earnest and cordial support Of our people.—
A public meeting of our citizens will soon be
called, we understand, for a full discussion
and examination of the plan, &.c.

"WINE rs A Mochu."—We were very
forcibly and toast agreeably reminded on a
recent occasion, of the ease and grace with
which persons of high social position may if
they will, “entertain" a company of friends,
without placing the‘wine cup on the festive
board. There is no one thing, so seriously
undermining the correct habits, and good
morals of the young men Of Norwalk, as the
prevalent use of intoxicating drinks, or the
frequent bestowal of wines by families giving
parties and receptions, and the proiier of the
inebriating glass by the fair hand of some
well meaning but little thinking girl, has
hurried many a noble boy to pcrdition. Pa-
rents, friends and countrywomen, you can
do much to stay the increasing waves of in-
temperance that are crushing so many lives
and hearts throughout . the land. And es-
pecially, let it not be you who shall tempt
the young man into the dark and loathsome
and soul sickening paths, that lead surely
down to the drunkard‘s dishonored life, and
helpless grave.

of high crimes and misdemeanors, by a vote
of126 lo 47. Tuesday afternoon,vThaddeus
Stevens-and J. A. Binghani appeared at the
bar of the Senatc, as a committee from the
House, and formally impeached the Presi-
dent and demanded his trial. The President
of the Senate replied “The Senate Will take
order in'tbc premises." The matter was then
referred to the following committee: Messrs.
Howard, Trumbull, Conkling, Edmunds,
Morton, Pomcroy, and Johnson.
A committee was appointed by the House
to prepare articles of impeachment, which
reported on Saturday ; the debate will proba-
bly close to day, (Monday). The Republican
House caucus, Saturday evening, selected
the Managers of Impeachment as follows:
Messrs. Bingham,Boutwell, Wilson of Iowa,
Butler of Massachusetts, Stevens, Logan and
Williams. The trial will probably com-
mence this week, but there is no sense in
guessing how long it will last.
The President has employed David Dud-

York; Caleb Cusliing, of Mass; and Jerry
Black, Of Washington, as his counsel.

for one evening only, but the first evening's
entertainment gave such universal satisfac-

it for a. second evening, in order to gratify

WThe Hartford (Journal has seen sheets
of the new book of hymns and tunes which
is being prepared under the auspices of the
Congregational General Association of this
State, by a committee of five pastors, and
which will be isssued shortly. It is a new
book entirely, and not a revision of the old
hymn book; a book new in its arrangement,
but containing the old songs dear to the
church. It is divided into nine sections Of
subjects, each of which is preceded by a title
page of particulars, a new feature, which will
greatly facflitate the selection of hymns.

‘Robert J. other on the Law.
We print below, an extract from an Opin-
1011‘:qu the Hon. Robert J. Walker upon the-
Pr'esidenl’s right to decide upon the constitu-
Ji‘oimlily of laws passed by Congress.-©Mr.-u
Walker is a Democrat, and stands high in
theconfidencc Of the President. He, is learn-
ed in the law, and this is the way in which
he disposes of the sophistry of The Times :
“I called," says Mr. Walker, “upon Gen.
Thomas early on Saturday morning, at the
War Office, and communicated to him in a
friendly way, my Opinion that any suchor-
der would bea nullity, and would subject
him to set ious consequences, especially if any
such collision should Occur. I told him that
he had no right, nor had the Prast'dentfio tits-
obey a law of Congress upon the assumption
that it was unconstitutional, andr‘f throwers
not so the President might set aside all the laws
of Congress since the foundation of the Govern-
ment upon the ground that they were on-
constitutional. That the President possessed
no such poWer, because it was an executive,
but cwclusz'acly a judicial power, and that all
the laws of Congress must be obeyed and execu-
ted by the President unless their execution
was restrained by the highest judiciala uthor-
ity. That to declare a late unconstitutional
was not only the exercise of judicial power,
but the highest judicial power, and only to be
resorted to by the courts where, in their
judgement, the act was clearly unconstitu-
tional, and first in all doubtful cases the court
had uniformly refused to interfere with the
execution Of the law.”
W We would invite the especial aftert-
tion, to the above democratic authority, of
those gentlem'en now exercised in the gener-
ous, but discouraging work of “raising a fund
to sustain Andrew Johnson,” here in Not-

THE N. Y. ’lz'mes SAYS:
“Newspapers are making a very great
blunder in saying that Congress has thrust
Mr. Stanton into the President’s Cabinet
against the will of the latter. Congress has
nothing to do with the Cabinet,which is not
recognized either by the Constitution ortlie
law. The Constitution says that ‘ihc Presi-
dent Inay require the Opinion in writing of
the principal ofllccr in each of the Executive
Departments upon any subject relating to the
duties of their respective offices ;‘ and this is
the nearest approach to the recognition of a
Cabinet to be found in the Constitution.
The President may or may not ‘rcquire the
opfnion’ of any officer and may cr may rot
consult him, and invite him into consultation
with the others, just as he pleases. Congress
has not the slightest control over his actitn
in this matter.’

III-I subscribers call your attention to a new For—
tilizer prepared by the Lodi Manufacturing 00.,
made from Night Soil, Blood Bones &, Offal of New
York City, called
Double Refined Poudrette,
which is an entirely different article from the com-
mon Pondrctte made in former years. It is Dovnnn
Tun sTnENcTn of the old kind, fine as flour. free from
coarse impurities, and is as strong and effective as
any superplIOsphatc in market, although sold for
on y
Twenty-five dollars a Ton m New York.
This article has on] been used one season,bnt its
effects have astonishe ever one who have tried it,
and the Company confident y assert that used in
quantities HALF As LARGE as was formerly used of
the common Poudrette, that it will not only Donna]:
Tun shop, but ripen from TEN DAYS tO Two war-ms
manna. .
This makes it by far the cnnAPEsT and most prefers
