A. Rtntimui' We present to day the remarks of Senator oiuizman on me ires rauroau dui. air. o. bos been a warm advocate of this important measure for yean post, and we congratulate bim on tbe certain passage of a bill on that subject.

This free railroud question is a very important one, and it is not expected tbat a satisfactory bill to all parties can be obtained at a tingle session of tbe Legislature. When a bill is once euacted into, a law let it be pro perl tried, and if it is not satisfactory to tbe in tereats of the State, it can easily be amended1 and perfected by another Legislature. The railroad interests of this State are too exten sive and large to be trifled with, aud it will not do to sacrifice them by legislation. We ccmmcnd the speech of Mr. 8.

to our readers THE LAST ANU J1KBPE8T Yesterday afternoon, when the national House of Representatives was on tbe eve of adjourning for the transaction of business until holding a session to day for debate only, by their own resolution and when the Senate was on the eve of adjourning over until Monday holding ho session to day Andrew Johnson, in utter contempt of the positive law of the land, sent a letter to Edwin M. Stanton removing him from the office of Secretary of War, and simultaneously sent an order, as Commander in Chief of the army, to Adjutant General Lorenzo Thomas, to take possession of the War Department as Secretary of War ad interim. This is the deepest, cunningest treason yet hatched in this treason cursed land. Examine it iu its deep enormity. The tenure of office law forbids the removal of Stanton without the consent of the Senate.

'The Senate was on the very point of adjourning for three days. The interposition of the House was impossible for a like period if a few moments more bud elapsed, by its own resolve to sit to day for debate only. At this critical juncture a military inferior is ordered by the President, commander in chief, to oust an officer protected from this outrage by the law of the land. The case made is not Mr. Stanton is just returned to his office by a solemn vote of the Senate of the United And yet this particular officer is chosen as the object of a traitor's vengeance, at the very moment of all others when the civil power could not interven for his legal protection.

The Supreme Court does not sit on Washington's birth day. Not another legal tribunal could be reached if the calamity of an adjournment of the Senate had taken place. But this docs not reach beneath the surface of the villainy. General Thomas is well known as a foe to Stanton. Whatever of vindictive "delight he may have in obeying the command of the President can be readily hidden iu the necessity under which he stood, a a soldier, to obey his superior's order.

He would have gone to the War Office and uemanaea possession. Stanton, conscious of his legal rights, would have refused to surrender to him. Thomas reports this refusal to Johnson, and Johnson at once orders General Grant, his inferior, to forcibly eject Stanton: Grant, anxious tp obey tho law, is powerless. The authority which could protect him in re fusing to obey the order of the President is adjourned and scattered for three precious days. The courts are not sitting, to even produce a controversy, which would have ex cused him, and, if he had refused to turn Stanton out by force, he would have been ruined.

A court martial could not have acquitted Grant of a breach of duty as a soldier for refusing or neglecting to disobey his superior, and the idol of the loyal people must have fallen, because he refused to betray them I There are crimes possible only through the inscrutable mystery of God, but Johnson5 has formed one of exceptions. There are degrees of criminality which Heaven's mercy rarely permits. The treason against this Government was light in comparison to that which constantly aimed to thwart its efforts to save its life and purify its morals. But that only is a complete and rounded infamy which the Republican members of Congress will enact, if they help Andrew Johnson to betray the full liberty purchased by the blood and tears of the war a moment longer and this they do if they fail to drag the traitor to the bar of outraged justice, or continue to lick the foot which spurns them. Impeach the scoundrel and do it instantly I Death or Hon.

Joseph R. Ingersoll. Hon. Joseph Reed Ingersoll died Thursday afternoon at his residence in Philadelphia. Mr.

Ingersoll was born in that city June 14, 1780. He graduated from Princeton College in 1804 and atonce commenced the study of law. He was admitted to practice June 3, 1807, and he soon entered upon a successful career in his profession. Early in life Mr. Ingersoll became prominent as a politician of the old Whig school, earnestly espousing the principles of that, party until its death with the close of the administration of Mr.

Fillmore. Since that time Mr. Ingersoll has lived in absolute retirement from' active political life. During the rebellion he was a firm and earnest friend of the Union, and contributed to the cause of loyalty an able pamphlet called "Secession A Folly and A Crime." A. T.

Stewart, the merchant prince of New York, has1 entered with much spirit into the campaign for Grant. He has already done much good work for the soldier such men, so largely interested in the finances of the country, lend their time and exertions to the advancement of Grant's claims on the Presidency, weaker capitalists need not hesitate. Mr. Stewart has made a collection of all the journals, and their name is legion, that have expressed a preference for his favorite. Frederick Qerstaxkek, the renowned German traveler and author, was in Cincinnati during the prize fight in which Aaron Jones was defeated.

He, in writing to the Koelner Zeilung, says be finds it Btrange that such things should be allowed in a country where a horrible outcry is raised if one drinks a glass of beer on Sunday, particularly as the field where the fight took place was rented for that purpose by a Baptist preacher. Another Rebellion. A Recreant President Strikes the Blow. The rebel President in the White House seems to be determined to inaugurate another' war, and has defied the plain provisions of the laws of Congress and Constitution of the United States by the peremptory removal of Edwin M. Stanton from the war office.

The President has, by this act, ignored all the authority of Congress by setting aside the laws it has enacted, and proclaims his contempt of their power. The Senate has taken prompt action in the and informed Andrew Johnson of the passage of the following resolution, viz Whereas, The Senate have received and considered the communication of the President, stating that he had removed Edwin M. Stanton as Secretary of War, and has designated the Adjutant General of the army tb act as Secretary of War ad interim; there xore, i Resolved, By the Senate of the United States, that under the Constitution and laws of the United Slates, the President has no power to remove the secretary of War and designate any other officer to perform the duties of that office. I This resolution was passed in Executive session last evening by the following vote Yeas Messrs. Anthony, Cameron, Cat tell, Cole, Conkling, Cragin, Drake, Ferry, Harlan, Henderson, Morrill Morrill (Vt), Patterson (N.

Pomeroy, Ramsey, Ross, Sprague, Stewart, Sumner, Thayer, Tipton, Trumbull, Van Winkle, Wade, Wil ley, Williams, Wilson and Yates 28. Nays Messrs. Bockalew, Davis, Doolittle, Edmunds, Hendricks and Patterson (Ten.) a. The House has also taken the matter in hand and acted in the premises as follows Mr. Covode of Pennsylvania, as a question of privilege, offered the following Resolved, That Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Laughter among the Democratic members. Mr. Wood (Opp.) said he objected to the introduction of the resolution. The Speaker stated that the resolution was a question of privilege. 4 Mr.

Boutwell (Rep.) moved the reference of the resolution to the Committee on Reconstruction. Agreed to. The chairman of the reconstruction committee, Mr. Stevens, was not well enough to be at the House, but, on hearing of the action of the House and of the President, he rose up in his bed and issued an order to his clerk to assemble his committee at ten a.m., on Saturday, and to say that he would be there, and in the meantime to gather up all the necessary documents and papers pertaining to the A committee of Senators was appointed to wait on Chief Justice Carter, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and make affidavit against General Thomas for violating the tenure of office bill. This they did, and Judge Carter has issued a warrant for the arrest of General Thomas, and has already placed the same in the hands of an officer.

The greatest excitement prevails, and all are waiting anxiously for to morrow. The excitement at Washington has not been so great since the close of the war, and we extract the following from newspaper corres pondents on this subject At about two p. m. the President's Secreta ry brought to the Senate several communications, and when they were quietly opened, were found to contain the nomination of Geo. B.

M'Clellan to be minister to England; Gen. George H. Thomas to be Lieutenant General UlOIVt tutu BU 1UUVUUVU.CW IUB President had removed Hon. E. M.

Stanton as Secretary of War, and ordered Adjutant General Lorenzo Thomas to assume the duties of the War Department, under the au thority of an old statute exhumed for the oc casion, and which dates prior to the 1 enure of Office bill, which, latter Mr. Johnson does not admit was repealed by the Tenure of Office law. The news of this action of the Executive flew rapidly over the Senate, and soon a motion was made to go into Sessi on, which was carried by a party vote. AT THE WAR OFFICE. Simultaneous with the departure of the President's Secretary for the Capitol, Adjutant General Thomas, accompanied by General Williams, called upon the Secretary of War and read him His order irom Mr.

John son to take possession of the War Depart ment, all papers, occ, and a letter to Mr. Stanton, from the President, to surrender the office. Mr. Stanton laughed, and asked how summary he intended his process to be, and if he would have time to gather up his papers and put on his coat. Gen.Thomas responded "that he and Mr.

Stanton said that he would like, some time to consider upon it, and desired to have a copy of the notice served upon him in writing. General Thomas then withdrew, and soon after sent in a copy of his order from the President, which Mr. Stanton immediately had copied and transmitted to the House of Representa tives. The removal soon became noised around the Department, and a general suspension of work followed, every one inqiring of some one else, "What next?" "Will he go?" "What will Grant do?" THE SENATE'S VIEWS. 'About three p.

m. a committee of Senators, consisting of Messrs. Cameron, Chandler, Cattell and Thayer arrived, and were granted an immediate interview. They informed Mr. Stanton that they came at the request of their Republican colleagues to ask that he should not surrender except to physical force, and on no account to leave his office long enough for General Thomas to move in and get possession, so as to put upon him the necessity of resorting to any unusual means to retain the office.

secretary stanton's position. 1 Mr. Stanton replied that if the Republican party were united upon the question, and they considered it to be his duty to remain, he would do so until he was removed piecemeal; that this was not his quarrel, but that of tbe loyal people, and he wanted it so understood. That if they would act in the matter, and act promptly, he would see it through but he was not disposed to keep up this light single handed and alone. THE SENATORS UNITED.

The Senators assured him that on this question the Republican party were a unit at the Capitol, ana they would act in the matter before the adjournment and that, as he had frequently spent night after night in his office when the country was in peril, it ought to be repeated now, for they considered the same emergency now exists as then. They then left, promising that he should hear from them officially before many hours. GENERAL GRANT VISITED. They proceeded to General Grant's headquarters, and found him making arrangements to eo to New York to night, but on their putting the case to him and announcing ineir intention 10 resist any aiiempi 10 remove Mr. Stanton, they soon found that he coincided with their views, and left for the Senate.

AN EXECUTIVE SESSION. On their return they found the Senate in Executive Session, and Mr. Sherman making a speech and repudiating the pretense of the law which the Presinent had set up. No question was before the Senate except the point as to the power of the President to remove Secretary Stanton. All the Republicans wero clear in their views that he had not the power, and were anxious to get some action to day, but the Democrats were equally anxious to secure delay, and indulged in long arguments in defense of the Presi dent, and the Republicans accordingly took up the gauntlet and now, at half past eight, the bebate still goes on.

Messrs. Howard, Fessenden, Edmunds. Conkling. Thayer, Yates and others, have made bold, clear, and powerful speeches, ar raigning Mr. Johnson tor bis denance ot law.

and for his evident determination to plunge the country into another civil war, sooner than be baffled in his attempts to turn over the government to the very men who opposed its salvation during tne late long and bloodv rebellion. There are two propositions now under consideration among tne Republicans, One being to merely return the notice of the removal of Mr. Stanton with their disapproval, and another to state that it was returned because he had removed him in violation of law. Some object to this, on tne grounds mat it uiey bo vumj uibv iuiohwu nuu their action the president snouia oe lm pecached. MOVEMENTS AND VIEWS OF GENERAL THtttAS.

After leaving Mr. Stanton, General Thomas, who had previously promulgated an order by direction of tbe President, closing the department to morrow in commemoration of Washington's birth day, left the department and went to the White House from there back to the department) and then down to his hotel, stating to several persons who asked him about his intentions that he considered lie was Secretary of War, but as tomorrow a mom dies OA account of its being a holiday the department would be closed by his orders, and also upon Sunday, but that "on Monday he should take possession" of his office, but declined to state how he would "take" itif Mr. Stanton refused si" THE LATEST DISPATCHES ADJUTANT GENERAL THOMAS' POSITION. Midnight General Grant remarked to Secretary Stanton, this r. that Adjutant General Thomas was a candidate for honors under the fifth section ot the Tenure of Office act, which makes it a high crime to accept of any office after the Senate has reinstated a suspended official.

General Thomas having issued an order signed as Secretary of War, an order was prepared to night to be served upon him early to morrow, with the intention of taking him before Judge Carter, requiring bim to give bail or be committed. THE NEW IMPEACHMENT PROJECT. The Reconstruction Committee are to meet at Mr. Stevens' room in the morning, and there seems to be no doubt among the leading Republicans but that they will find articles of impeachment under the sixth section of the Tenure of OflSce act, which makes the issuing of a commission to General Thomas as Secretary of War a misdemeanor. SECRETARY STANTON.

Secretary Stanton's room at tbe War Department is still crowded with visitors, many of whom heretofore voted against impeachment. He will remain in his office all night. THE TENURE OP OFFICE BILL. Section 5 of this act provides that if any person shall, contrary to. the provisions of this act, accept any appointment to or employment in any office, or shall hold or exercise, or attempt to hold or exercise, any such office or employment, he shall be deemed, and is hereby declared to be guilty of misdemeanor and, upon trial and conviction thereof, he shall be punished therefor by a fine, not exceeding ten thousand dollars, or by imprisonment, not exceeding five years, or both; said punishment according to the disposition of the court.

Section 6 provides that every removal, appointment or employment made, had or exercised contrary to the provisions of this act, and making, signing sealing, countersigning or issuing of any commission or letter of au thority, for or in respect to any such appoint ment or employment, shall be deemed, and are hereby declared to be high misdemean ors. FROM WASHINGTON. General L. Thomas Arrested and Taken Before Justice Carter. Thomas Waives an Examination and Gives Five Thousand Dollars Bail for His Appearance on Monday.

Secretary Stanton in Full Posses sion of the War Office. THE PLANS OF THE PRESIDENT DEFEATED THE REPUBLICANS IN HIGH GLEE) THE IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT CONSIDERED CERTAIN Washington, Feb. 22. Secretary Stanton this morning swore out a warrant against Gen. Lorenzo Thomas for interference in his duties as Secretary of War, and accordingly General Thomas was taken into custody by the United Mates Marshal ot this district, and is now before the criminal court, Justice Carter presiding.

This is done in accordance with the provisions of the tenure of office act, which provides that any person who shall in any way interfere with its operations shall be liable to arrest, and a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars, or imprisonment, not exceeding five years, or both, as the court may adjudge. There is a decrease in the excitement throughout the city, and there no longer re mains any doubt that the Keconstruction Committee will report to the House, to dav. articles of impeachment. Ueneral 1 nomas waived an examination in the criminal court, this morning, and gave bail to the amount of five thousand dollars, to appear in court on Monday morning, at ten The prompt action of Secretary Stanton in arresting Thomas makes the Republicans feel in high glee, and the Democrats are correspondingly discouraged. The latter hoped that Thomas would get possession and force Stanton into the courts to get him ousted, but Stanton has reversed affairs to their surprise and disgust.

The reconstruction committee are in session at Mr. Stevens' room, near the capitol, considering the question of impeachment. SECOND DISPATCH. THOMAS VISITS THE PRESIDENT. President Advises Him to Take Possession.

There were assembled Secretary Stanton, General Grant, General Howard, and several Radical members of Congress. General Thomas demanded the keys of the office, but Secretary Stanton refused to give them. They are now discussing the matter. The President was waited upon this morning by Senator Doolittle, General Banks, General Gordon Granger, and several other Congressmen.

223 r. m. The Reconstruction Committee, at its meeting this morning, agreed to report articles of impeachment against the President to day. Mr. Stanton, in very decided terms, declined to comply with Thomas' request, and gave him orders to leave the War Department building at once, which was complied with.

Although he threatened that he would have possession before night, the last move on the part of Thomas has only increased the excitement in the Capitol. STILL LATER; 3.10 r. m. After General Thomas was released from custody to day he went to the war office and made a peremptory demand on Stanton to turn over the war office at once to him, and this was done, that he would resort to military force to obtain possession of the office.

4 Antwerp, Feb. 22. Petroleum is firm. The Benninghoff Robbery. The latest chapter in reference to the Benninghoff robbery is furnished by the Titusville Herald, as follows: "Mr.

Allen Pink erton, the celebrated Chicago detective, hrs tendered the services of his 'police bureau' for the investigation of the Benninghoff robbery, upon the condition that Benninghoff shall defray the traveling expenses of the detective whom he will send for that purpose, and his expenses while here. We do not learn that the offer has been accepted. The stery published a week ago, concerning the arrest of two men at Memphis, on suspicion, appears to have been entirely correct, notwithstanding its contradiction. The detective in this instance was Ezra Van Nyce, an omnibus driver at Westfield, and we are reliably informed that a niece of Mr. John Benninghoff has returned with Van Nyee to Memphis, for the purpose of identifying the parties under arrest.

On Thursday three men were arrested at Townville by the officers from Meadville, and taken to that city for examination, upon a charge of being concerned in the robbery, but on arriving there were discharged without examination. One of this party, Mr. M. L. Corry, proposes to bring a suit for damages, as we are informed.

It is a singular fact, s. id one that has excited considerable comment, that while the robbers were engaged in plundering Mr. Benninghoff, one of them addressed various members of the family in German. He called the hostler by name, and directed him to go to the stable and 'harness up designating the animal which he preferred. Mr.

BenninghofPs niece is said to have recognized this man's voice, and it would seem eminently proper that before any more innocent parties are arrested, an opportunity should be offered for verifying the suspicions of Mr. BenninghofTs niece. Who is the man with the German silver voice?" Broken Rails. The New Jersey, R. R.

Co. having ordered a force of men to examine its track, discovered that between New Brunswick and Metuchin, a distance of perhaps 25 miles, there were not less than 84 broken rails. In this announcement there is a terrible lesson for both company and passengers. Any one of tbe rails would have beea sufficient to have thrown a train off the track, as in the case of the Angola disaster. Will not the companies in this section be wise in time, and guard as far as human foresight can against a recurrence of the shocking slaughters of the past five years, TO A11VESHSERS.

THE undersigned, representing a committee connected with the Garnet League, a purely philantropio association of the most respectable colored people of Harrisburg. where its central operations are conducted, organized and inoorrorattd purely for educational purposes, to assist in the intellectual elevation and Christian culture of the Freedmen, would announce that, if nothing Providential occurs to prevent, the fair commence on next MONDAY, the 21th in EXCHANGE BUILDING, on Walnut street, continuing one week. We hope to make it attractive to the publio and a credit alike to the intelligence and generosity of the people of the city, and to the cause in the interest of whioh it is held. An Eating Department will be kept, conducted by Mrs.

Jane Chester, whose reputation in this city, for the excellencies of her cooking, is a guarantee that all who may please to call will receive ample satisfaction.

Robinson, pastor ef the First Presbyterian Church; Father P.

Maher, of St. Patrick's Church; and Rev. James Colder, of the First Free Will Baptist Church. Knowing no other source from which, through the Providence of God. success may come, we earnestly appeal to the sympathies of a Christian publio for our support.

May no differences of opinion now existing in the minds of the people against our race, allow any. one of our citizens to withhold from the fair their liberal patronage. All will acknowledge that the educational elevation and religious training oi the Freedmen is essential to the good of the country, the prosperity and happiness of the people. All must agree to the importance of educating the freedmen and indeed all classes ofthe people. Then let all be encouraged to assist in making our effort a suocess.

As an evidence ofthe good results accruing from the appropriation of funds heretofore entrusted to the disposal of the Garnet League, we refer with pleasure to our suooessful operations in Tennessee and North Carolina: we there ask your attention to our flourishing schools. There you will see the fruits of our labors, the support we give those schools, and the moral and material interests we have there promoted. Rev. H. Garnet, pastor of Shiloh Presbyterian Church.
