The Judiciary Committee of the House must investigate the oharges, and if evidence is found to sustain the allegations they must so report. r' A report being once made the House dare not refuse to act upon it. They must proceed to impeach thePresident before the Senate. When that is done the Senate will have no alternative but to put Mr. Johnson on trial.

If the Judiciary Committee of the House should fail to report in favor of impeaching the President, the whole will see at a glance that the Radicals have utterly failed to substantiate a single one of the charges about which they have made so 'amden and A in boy Railroad.

One by one the newspapers and the politicians who opposed Simon Cameron so bitterly, are smoothing down their anger and altering their tongues to flattery of him whom they so lately denounced as all that was corrupt and degraded. In this they show a spirit more mercenary than the members of the Legislature who sold themselves out for so much cash in hand. Those representatives who' betrayed Curtin did so for a valuable consideration received.

The fellows who stood out against Cameron until he was elected and have since taken to praising him are actuated by thehopeof future rewards which mayor may not be realized. They are all alike mercenary. Even Forney has taken to flattering the man whom he so lately held up as an object of scorn and public contempt.

Peter Smith vs. The Mayor, Aldermen and Citizens of Lancaster Suit for $300 Bounty. Judge Hayes delivered the following opinion, giving judgment' for the plaintiff on the case stated. Judge Long stated that he had himself grave doubts as to the constitutionality of the Law; but concurred in the opinion, so that the case might be taken to the Supreme Court for final adjudication. The proper decision of this case depends upon the Act of the 25th of March, 1864, P.

L. 85 No. 88) "relating to payment of bounties to volunteers and the Act ofthe 1st of May, 1866, P. L. 144, "Relating to the payment of bounties to the veteran volun teers." his -j: j- vi These acts provide' for' the case of Peter Smith, the plaintiff, and unless they be unconstitutional and 1 void, he is entitled to recover.

With respect to the first of these acts, the objection to it as unconstitutional is not insisted on but it is said that the plaintiff on the 23d of December, 1863, was re-enlisted as a private and veteran volunteer to serve 3 years, and the credit was assigned to Lancaster City and that this credit was applied in filling the quota of the said city under the call of March 14th, 1864, eleven days before the passage of the act of 1864 therefore his case is not within the provisions of that act, because he was at the time of its passage credited to the city, whereas, if he had been after the passage of the act its provision 'Thatin case any veteran soldiers who have enlisted and have not been credited to any special locality, shall hereafter be credited on the present draft to the locality from which they origiually volunteered, sueh volunteers shall be paid by the local authorities would clearly have embraced it. Because no recovery could be had under this act, it is said, the Act oi 1866 was passed. And the preamble of the latter act shows that it was in fact, because many of the said veteran volunteers who had re-enlisted for three years after serving from the beginning of the rebellion, were not able to secure local bounties, that the Legislature deemed it their duty to interfere, and enact "that all veteran volunteers who have regularly 1 re-enlisted and re-mustered under general fe orders, fcc, and who have not received any local bounty, tfcc, shall be paid a local bounty of $300, which shall be paid by the proper authorities of such counties, cities Haldeman, also of this county, was elected Chejmist and Geologist.
