Aitliiml of Monday lat contaiia a leapertAil reply to a ortion of our article of ' laat weak an the aabjaet of iaipeachaient, while aataaW with aad adopting the language of an- We i reajBH to notice oni- ' portion of It If aae or two potnta made by the eatinef and than dbaniaa tha aubjeot to the conaideration af the Houee of Hepmaalalire, to which it aow properly belong. flat A'aeW aaka if it nerer occorred to our mind "that tha omiaaion to perioral a aacred and awora daty may aaaaant to a high crime." Of taaraa it baa ; we readily admit that a high oancial may render himaelf aa jnatly liable to impeachment for a crime of omiaaion aa for one of eommbaion, provided there i nothing to jus tify or excuae the om union nothing to ahow that it waa not dona corruptly. In the caae of the Chief Juetioe wa expraaard oar belief that, for laaaana which we rare, ha did not act cor ruptly. If we believed, aa eoma profcm to, that there waa any preriooa undemanding between the Chief Juatice aad tha Ooeernor we won Id be among tha eery laat to oppose hie impeachment Wt will rata aaw vitM row af oppimtion vpoa oun- proof of nek prtrimu uadtrttandimg or ify. Bui we do not ncneve any ining oi the kind. Tha aafiaef further aay : "All that ia urged about bia "occupying a aeat oa tha Bench for thirty yaaca," ia but an augmentation of the urine of "omiaaion" of duty, aad takes aw.iy a), ao the force of the plea of hi- action being the raeah of a aiaipia "mistake." Ail theae pallia- tiana are counterbalanced by tha suggeetion of long experiau; by hi conduct on former occa sion", and by bia actiam and apparant animut in the jbiica eorpat affair." It moat bt borne in mind that tha "mistake" which we attributed to the Chief Juatice wee not one of law, but one of fart against wlrlch "fcay frprriencr" and the profoundeat legal learning could afford no security .whatever. The grare question presented to the mind of the Chief Jus tice whether hia posse, had he ordered one to be summoned, would hara had to engage in a conflict, not only with the troops of iov. Holden under tha command of Col. Kirk, but also with that U said about tha aptl ihiaanfjin of the t htof cWire of a odliaiu, ia the BMsw puerile aaaa. inarecan aa no cnaanct m au ihwrily betwatn the aa-ordinate Iwanohea of the oeerffMirnt, an long aa earh haspa itarlf ia it ciMuaitntional sphere and perforata ila eooatltu Uonal diitiea in a lawful manaar." Ia h mere legal saaaa wa agree to at erf word contained ia tha abore extract "There can ha ao conflict of authority bstwsan tha co ordinal! brain lies of tha government, so long aa each keep itarlf ia it ctHwaJtutfoaal aphere and per forate It conaUtutional dutiea la a lawful ssaa ner." Yet a conflict did arias between Cklef Justice Taney and the Eiecntiee branch of the Federal Oorernmeat ia which tha Chief Juatice waa aaatrarlfod to yield. IVaddeajt Lincoln and ti.-n Cadwaladwr did not "keep" thiiaiilras la their "coritiiutional sphere and perform their constitutional duties in a lawful manner.1' If they AW done so there would hara bean no "con flict of authority" tha prisoner would have been promptly delivered In obedience to the mandate of tha Cmef Juatice' writ. 8o, too, if Oow. lloMaa bad "kept himaelf ia bia contitn tional aphere and rformesl hia conatUational duties in a lawful manuar" no "eoaiict of author- iiv" would hare ariaen between him and Chief Juatice I'eamon. Xo lawyer will pretend that Gov. Holden "kept himself within hia conetiui tlonal sphere," hence the "conflict of authority" in which tha hief Justice felt, or believed, him self compelled to yield. Tha idea of a collision U, wa admit, ia asaai contemplation, "puariJe toeA," aa it wa in Marritnan' caae. Rut an oeraof conflict did taka place, nererthaleas, in both in stance, a every one know. If then bad no danger of a conflict ax cept betwatn tat pom of tha Chief Justice and the Governor s forces under the command of Co!. Kirk the case would hara been somewhat dlfli rent, jj But with the then believed certainty that tha Goromor's forces would be sustained and aaaiated by the federal troopa wa think the ( hief Justice waa at least so far I install In that there should be no legislative censure or im peachment of him for the "omiaaion" if, indeed, ha waa not aAoV justifiable. The fact that sub sequent development event to prove that the Chief J i mice waa susfaar in the opinion that tha Federal Executive would an stain the Gov ernor in hia resistance of hia authority does not afford grounds for his impeachment No right thinking man would have a Judge i for a mistake, unless it was such a n proved beyond all question that, through ignor ance, he was utterly incompetent for the (.osiiion. The mistake made by tbe Chief Juatice waa not one of that character. It waa, as wa have sl ready shown, a mistake that tha ablest and most laaaairl lawyer in the State woo Id have been joet aa likely to make aa any other aensible man who had watched the course of events, snd t the Federal Government, In the South since the close of the war. We are gratified to know that the Srntinti and the Old Xnrtk Slate exactly agree a to the great principle that should govern tha Cooser vaiives ia the Hrtnso nf ItanrsssalallTia in rela tion to impeach ruenl laws they can both their sent intent in the same language.

Then comes the following comment : hi long experience" cannot possibly be const rued into "an augmentation of the crime of omission" With which he stands charged, nor "take away" any part of "the force of the plea of hi action being the result of a simple 'mistake' ". If the "mistake" had been one of law instead of net we would be prepared to admit the full force of the Stntinete reasoning, but it was not Did the Chief Justice believe that an effort to enforce obedience to the mandate of hi writ would result in a conflict between his pone snd the troops snd authority of the United Sttilei, and that it would not only fail of success, but Wen Id entail upon the citizens of the State gen erally wrongs snd sufferings far greater than would have to be temporarily endured by the prisoners (hen in military custody t If lie did, and we think he might reasonably have come to such a conclusion, then his conduct should, to any the least of it, be excused. And in . consid ering the question' whether there was reasonable grounds for serious apprehension of snch calam ines following the action which the Chief Jus , tice was urged to take, and which it is gravely proposed to impeach him for omitting to take, we must take into account the whole policy of tha Federal Government in the Southern States since the war. That policy, laa not been one of close adherence to the Coiistituti,on and laws, as a very large majority of the members of the House of Representatives will readily agree, If it bad been the Chief Justice ocu Id not Possibly have fallen into any mistake in regard to the course which tha President would bare been like ly to take in sustaining the Governor in the ex, -, ecution of the laws of the State. Bat, in view cf the policy of the Federal Government in the rcveintionar time upen which we have fallen, it was impossible for the Chief justice to know what course be would take. In that view, and with Gov. Holdin's repeated declaration of the fact before him, we think he might, reasonably have conrioded that the President who had ev idently been made to believe very exaggerated statement of the condition of things in North Carolina would sustain tbe Governor in his re sistance of the Chief Justice's authority. We , believe the Chief Justice honestly came to such cenclusion, and if he did no one will aay he , ,h Administration must resist such xroove- ahould be impeached for falling into a mistake tneot with tul of it influence : that the law con "This looks like cutting loose from his party friend, "going heck upon them." If the if- Instriou statesman had onlv siwken that wa before the election! That August election seems to have wonderful results. We rather think n was a good thing." Injustice to the Lieut. Governor it should be remembered that no member of the last Legis lature, of either party, showed more anxiety to have "a searching and thorough investigation made into all well-founded complaints of fraud and peculations" than he did. In defiance of the wishes of many of ' his party friends" he went outside of the Senate to find men to constitute the investigating committee, and appointed only those who commanded public confidence. It ia to him that the people of the State are indebted that f 5ov. Bragg wa the Chairman of that com mittee, and so much fraud and corruption ex posed. We, too, "think the August election was a good thing," but we can see no change that it has made in the sentiments or principles of Lieut Gov. Caldwell, however much change we can see in others.
