Washington,1 Jan . "29- The follow
ing official order, has tost-been pro
mulgated by Secretary Fish from the:
Department of State, by order, of the
iJrresident
l?;Inqufriea have been made from va-
nous sources as to tne application o
the Executive order, issued on the
17th of January, relating to the hold
ing of State or municipal ofiices by
persons holding civil offices nnder the
Federal Government, the President
directs the following reply to be made;
It has been asked whether tho or
der prohibits' a Federal ofiicer from
holding also the1 office of an alderman
or of a common councilman in a city
or of a town .councilman ot a town or
village, or of appointments under city,
town, or. village governments. By
so me it has been suggested that there
may be a distinction made in case the
office is ; with or without salary or
compensation. The city or town ofli-i
ces of the description referred to, by
whatever names they may be locally
known, whether held by election or
without salary or compensation, are of
the class which the Executive order in
tends not to be held by persons hold
ing Federal offices. ' ,
It has been asked whether the or
der prohibits ! Federal officers from
holding positions on boards of Edu
cation, school committees, public
libraries, religions or" eleemosynary
institutions incorporated or estab
lished or snstaiued by State or muni
cipal authority. Position and ser
vice on snch Boards or committees,
aud professorships in'colleges, are
not regarded as offices within the
contemplation of Executive order, but
as employment or service on which all
good citizens may be engaged without
incompatibility and in many cases with
out necessary interference, with any
sition they may hold nnder the Fed
eral Government. Officers of the Fed
deral Government may therefore en
gage iu snch service provided the at
tention required by sneh employment
lues not interfere with the regular and
etxicieut ai.scnarge oi me auties oi
their office nnder the Federal Gov-
ernnient. iho ueau or tne uepart-
ment under whom the Federal office
is neld will in an cases oe ooia inige
whether or not the euiplov'ment does
thus interfere.
The question has been also asked
with regard to officers of the State
militia. Congress having exercised
the power confrred by the Coii.sti
tutio!) to provide for organizing the
the militia, which i liable to l;u called
forth to be employed in the uervice of
the United Suites, and is thin in

It has been asked whether the or
der prohibits persons holding offiee
under tho Federal Government being
members of local or municipal nre de
partments; also whether it icpp4ies to
mechauics employed by the day in the
armories, arsenals,' and navy-yards,
&c., of tLe Uuited States. Unpaid
service in local or municipal fire de
partments is not regarded as an office
within the intent of the Executive or
der, and may be performed by Feder
al officers provided it does not inter
fere with the regular and efficient dis
charge of the dutias of the Federal
offiee, of which the Tiead or the de
partment nnder which the 'office is
held will be the judge.: j .

himself entirely of all . damaging
charges and snspieionl. . JLt is now
very plain that the opportunity which
he asked of the Senate to-day can be
afforded him by no other. process than
that of impeachment. r (
" Rumors, were very thick about the
capitol this afternoon that the motion
to impeach the Vice President would
certainly be made in the House o:
Repns rotative The general imi
pressldh that no movement. to this
end cau be made by the House in ad
vance of the report of its committee
iserroneoas. Thelinvestigation -into
the Credit Mobilier being conducted
with open doors, all the statements'
which have been 'made implicating
Mr. Colfax and others are matters of
common notoriety. It is therefore
within the province bf any member of
the llonse to rise in his place, recite
the allegations against Air. Colfax,
and more for instructions to the Ju
diciary Committee to repoot articles
of impeachment. The House, being
in tha noaaession of the same inform
ation as has. been spread before the1
country, can instruct or refuse to in
struct the 3 udiciary Committee, accord
ing to its direction.
Although the rumors which were
floating around the capitol this after
noon were repeated with more confi
denca in the saloons to-night, it has
not as yet authentically transpired
that any member of the House pro
poses at this time to call for articles
of impeachment against the Vice
President. Yet if that Omcer is Bin-
cere in his expression of a desire to
court the fullest investigation it
would appear that he must himself fa
ror the oal r method by which, that
investigation can be obtained. It has
beou reported that Senator Patter-
sou aud Wilson would ask the ap
pointment of a Senate committee,
which they have the undoubted, right
to do, to investigate the charges made
against them. This mixing up of the
v ice Jt'resiaent ana y ice irresiuent
eleet in these very unpleasapt trans
actions is regarded here as extrernely
unfortunate by those of all shades of
political opiuion, and the wish and hope
of all would bo that gentlemen' who
had boen so highly honored by tneir
fellow countrymen . bad it in their
power to prove the absence of anght

that gentleman shows a remarkable

Twenty ond years ago and upward
when Louis Napoleon usurped tho
Government of France, among those
who were arrested was M. Thiers. Ho
was in a state of great fright and con
sternation at the time, bat soon recov
ered from it, being trsated with grtat
leniency by NapoToon and escaped at
last With only alW days detention!
Although then an ord man, mooh fur
ther advanced in life than Napoleon,
ho lived to sco the end of bis long life
and to become his successor in power.
What a remarkable man I Ho wit
nessed tho gloj-ios and the overthrow
of the first Empire. Ho saw the re
storation of tho Bourbons and tho en
tranco of tho allied moharehs into
Paris. Ho was the Priraq Minister

parto. the eighteen years'; reign of
Louis Phillippo. It wu nw n

tho best history of tho first Empire,
and was the successor of tho Socond.
He has seen, tbo course of his almost
four scoroyears, no less than eight or
ten govern nicnts. rise and fall. Tho
political endurance of Thiers is won.

that he was soon to follow la the foot v
