The Pall Mall Gazette of yesterday states what it believes
will be the articles of impeachment against Mr. Johnson, which it de- rives, it says, from a trustworthy source. They are (1), violation of the Constitution which he had sworn to support, by appointing to office men whom the Senate had refused to confirm immediately after such refusal ; and violation of the law by appointing to office, and paying out of the war appropriation, disloyal men who can- not take the oath of loyalty, in contravention of the law of July 2nd, 1862. Another violation of the law specified is his refusing to sustain the Civil Rights' Bill (passed over his veto) in the South. (2.) Crimes and misdemeanours against loyal subjects, whose lives he has sacrificed in illegal pursuit of a partizan policy, especially by sustaining the rebel mayor and police of New Orleans in the Mississippi massacre. (3.) Misdemeanours in behaviour and language to an extent injurious to the peace and order of the country, and degrading to the office he holds,—e.g., calling the servants of Congress "satraps," "a body hanging on the verge of the Government," and so forth ; again, giving to the public, as the report of GP,ieral Sheridan on the New Orleans' massacre, a garbled document, which did not convey its true effect ; and again, habitual drunkenness. On the whole, these articles, if they could be substantiated, would look a great deal more formid- able in a legal sense for the President than any we thought could have been produced.
