The Times has evidently been unable to believe that the
"Radicals," those extreme persons whom it takes to be about on a par with the Reform League, should venture to impeach the President. Its conductors accordingly telegraphed on Monday to New York, and received in four hours the reply, "Trial will go on next week. Party is united,"—the " party " meaning three- fourths of the elected representatives of the whole North. The President is impeached on charges of violating the Tenure of Office Act, of issuing military orders not through General Grant, and of denying the legality of Congress. The Senate has organized itself for the trial, and Chief Justice Chase has accepted the presidency in the Court given him by the Constitution. It is asserted in England that Mr. Johnson will demand time to pre- pare evidence, and drag out the trial over November ; but, once impeached, the Senate has the same power over him that any other Court has over any other prisoner at its bar. We see no reason why the trial should last a month.
