IMPEACHMENT. HOW THX CABE LOOKS. Bypesial Dunttch to The Chicago Tridune, Wasmnaron, D. O, May 5.~Ths farther the {mpeachment trial progrosses, tho more svident becomes tho fact that the managers on the part of the Houss ars no mateh for the briiliaat and ablo conngol of the impeached Sao- retary, Thisisnow the universal vordict hero,al- though it may be o hasty one, for'several of the managera bave not yot bean heard. Tho victo- 1y to-doy was all on tho sido of tha coungel. Carpenter spoke for noatly threo hours, Isymmg first & strong foundation for his argumont, and then bilding upon it a alruc- ture st onco massive and symmetrical and pic- turcsque. Nothing whatover was sald sa to tho morits of the caso, the discussion belng confined ontiroly the queation 6f the Benate's jurisulc- tion. Carpeuter Inye down the broad principle that Dotknap is, aud wag at the time of the im- poachmont, o private citizen, and theu he went ou to show that there was no authorily to im- peach a private citizen, Lo said it was tho oftice that was impeachad, not tho person, It is geveraily admitted that tho msnagers have the weaker side, and that the Senate will at once decido that it bas no juriediction, Tho arguwinta will probably close on Monday, (30 the Associated Pren) THE ARGUMENTS, Wasmorox, D, O, May 6.—The Senate thia morning, after agroeing npon & recess for three days noxt week, rosumod consideration of the artiolea of impeachment, and Mr, Carponter for the rospoudent bogsn his ar- gument on the queation of jurisdiction. Aflter reviewing tho ~pleadings 1n the onso, he ho would ~endeavor to show how, firat, thot articlos: of {mpenchment could " not be ontertained agsiuet an; private citlzen in any case}’whatevor; nand, second, that whonever articies of impeachment were oxhibted, thoy must sot forth every fact essential to constitute a orime impeachaine, To atated tuat Lo would confine himaclf i his argumont to legal quosiions, and would be as brief as possiblo, and ** a8 dry as a atick.” Me. Carpentor road from the debatea of the- Coustitutional Convention, aud argued that the men who framed tho Coustitution never had tho alightest idoa that auybody buta public oliicor oould bo impoached. ‘Tho debates all showea that jmpeackmont waa intended as a check upon those in power. At 2 o'clock tho Benate took a receas, After tho recoss Mr. Carponter resumed and floiehed his ;:i;umnut. Ha was followed by Mr, Knott in belialt of the managors, who argued that the real question before the court was whether they exoroised the functions devolved upon thom ns the lughest conrt knownto our avornment by virtua of & constitutional power, or muant the will and pleasare of the ac- cused, oro was not s solitary syliable iuan of the provialons of tho Constitution whi limiced tho power of the iousa. of Repro- sontattves to profer, or of tho Booate to try, srticles of {mpeachment to the time during which tha gutv accused shall romalin in olllce, or to any other timo whataver. The very momont an impoachable offensa was committed the gullty party bocamo lisble to im- prisonment, and thero was not a word in any of the provisions of tho Constitution relleving him from that lability upon termivation of hia oftico, whother by reslgoation or othorwise, At this point "Mr. Knott said that he disliked extramely asking & favor at tho hands of the Bonate, but ho was sufforing snch physios! pain that he muat aek for adjournment, The Benate, sitting as & Court of Impeach. ment, adjourusd until to-morrow. —_— REFUNDING. YIEWS OF RUFUS UATCI, TIE FINANCIER, 8pecial Lpatch ta T'ha Chirgao Trigune. ‘Wasaivaron, D, O, Mpay 5,—The Committes on Ways and Mea a8 recolved a very Interest. {ng statoment by Hatch, of Flek & Hatoh, who, at the suggestion of Fernando Wood, was in- vited to give his views in regard to the vrovis~ ions of the Bhermanbill, Ie (IIatch) sald that {tasemod to him that the proposition to au- thorize the {ssue of 850,000,000 in thirty-year bonds at 4)¢ per cont for the purposs of fund- ipg amounted in effect to na underbldding by the Governmént of ita own credit. His yeason for this opluion was that the crodit of the QGovernment, when combined with anythio, liko a reapoctable degres of permancnoy, is nnd{ on & basis of 4 por cent, ‘I'ne throo great qualifications, Lo sald, of a luan for the class of capital thas invests 10 Governmont bonds are PEAVEOT BAVETY, NEGOTIAWILITY, AND DURA- BILITY, In regard to the first two elements, the bondaof the United Btates Lave no equal in the world, OI the last qualifioation almost the sutire Gov- ernment dobt of the United Btates 18 wbolly devoid. None of our bonds ex. cept the ourrency sixes lwsued in ald of the Pacifio Pailroads bave suy fixed time to run beyond five years, Notwitbstanding this and the copsequent uncertainty which sttaches 1o the timo for whioh they msy zup, neazly sil Qur Government {ssues aze alliog on & beals of & per cont on {nvestment, 0 argues that nuflnr $ho War, when the Gov- eroment borrowed at bigh rates, the lssue of optional loans which the Government ooutd cone trol at ploasura was a wise polioy, but now tho Gavernmont ia In position to dictate A MINIMUM RATE OF INTEREAT, and it can afford to make its bonda long anongh to impart to them au element that will compen« aate for tha low rato of interost. Haich entered injo some compulation to Ahow, at the markot rate at which oor bonds are selling, both to New York snd in Europe, they yleld but about 4 per cent interost on the in- Yestment, In answer to the quentlon, what amount of 4 per cont bonds ha thoughe his firm, with tho aasletance of friends forming an Amer- ican eyndicate, instead of a European oo, oould negotiate within the pext twelvo montbs, Lis sald that was ‘s very difficult thing to eatimsto. J¥lo thought ~ probably as large an smount of loug boods could be nogotinted at 4 per cent an of shortor bonds at 43¢ por cent, with the excoption, perbaps, that If Rothsolilld and bLis syndicato stand ready to take and pay for fifly milliong’ to-day, we might not find any Ameriean house ‘or syndicato ready totake & liko amount of 4 per cent bonds at oaca, Hoferring to ESUMFTION ACT, THE R Y Hatoh said that Lo did not think tt had any tical affeot upon the value of Uonited Btatos ouds, Tho rosson was that the Reaumption act was not much believed in. Awnything which would msake the peoplo boliove that within ® short iime gold would decline matoriatly would not havo tho offect of roduciog the cor- Toncy price of our bonds, but of increasing tho gold prico, and the Iatter in the trus measare of the growih of Government eredit. Touching tho exlstoncs of & EINKING-FUKD LAW, ho said that the conscquence of putting it into opsration was the befiinplng of the elovation of our Gavernment credit all over the world, and ho thought It wan an_elemoant which it would bo yery uotortunato to destroy. Tho effect of the accnmulation of gold for tho pngon of redeeming greenbacks waa discussed by Hatch. His opinion was that during the pro- coss of tho accumulation, tho fact that gold was being mado scarcer for ita logitimato uses would inereano ita price no that to a certain polot gold would rise, “He thought that when tho accumn- Istion roached vory noar ths point ab which it would be cousidored that the Govarnment could resume, it would decling, notwithstanding its scarcity, bocause of the fact that the Govern- méns could at any timo mako it par. 4 Thoro was & vory amusing colloquy botwoen Hatch and Judge Kelloy, In whioh Hatch explod- edithe fallacles of the 8.63 theory to the great smusement of the Committes. —_— DAVENPORT. AXD I8 TWO-RDGED SWORD. 8pectal Dspateh to The Chicaas Tridune, Wasmxatox, May 5.~Davenport's investige- tlon this morning cousistod to s grent oxtont of a politieal inquiry. Mr. Caulflold’s line of ox- amination was Jargely political. Mo learned ono thing which seemed to surprise bi., That was that in the Union Leaguo Club,for whick Daven- port worked, thers wore Domocrats and Libor- als whoso names Davonport gave. Mr., Caulfeld, haviog pot obtainod very pleasant political in- formation from Davenport, objected to the fol- lowing question, propounded by a Republican : *Was not tho uppoaition of the Democrats the reanlt of a fear that tho enforcement of tha law would destroy their power ' Caulfleld objeated to the question on tho ground that it was not germaue, but the question was finally ad- witted, as it was quite a1 germano na most of Cunulllold's quostions. Davonport ststed that Lip had been charged with ths onforcement of the sots for tho puipono, He doniod that thia waa tho caso. Que of the first atrosts he over made was of & Republican, He wanted to say, alg0, that ho bad arroated a large uumber of clerks from the dopartaienta at Washiogton, who bad come ou to voto, Oaly lsst night a gentie- man camo to him and said he had turned bacx anumber of Republican clorks from Washing- ton in 1872, nod asked if ha fstouded to do tho same thing in 1870, and witncss unid he did. ————— CEN.

Znspatch to New York Evening Poat, ‘WasnmiNaton, D.

Tho Republi- cans of Alabama—that is, the boitor clasa— have roached the conclusion that the time has arrived for outtiog looss from Speucer and his rikers,” and the dosortiona from bLis faction have not been fow. Very rocently the Postmastors at Montgomery and_ Mobilo, both of whom are spoken of as good ofticers. decided not to support Bpencer auny more, although they owed their appoint- ments to bim. Assoon am Bpencer hoard of this ha summoned Mr, Mayer, tho Chairman of one ot the two Republican Btato Committees, to Washington, snd by his ald determined to have both oflicors removed. Tho first demand was upon Postmaster-Goneral Jowell, but that gen- tleman declined poremptorily to ask or recom- meud the Presldont to remove eitber ofiicor. Mayer eaid that unleas Lhe changes' were made the Republican (Spencer) y could not carry the State; bub Air. Jewell said it mado no dif- ference, nnd rofused to do anything, Then Bpencer wont to nos tha Presidout, determined not only to Lave the two oficera removed, but a roprimand administered o Mr, Jowell for refusing to turn out {ne men, Tho President leard the siatements of both, and then nsked whether thero were any cliarges againet tho integrity of the two Iost- masters, To this Bpenoer was forced to sdmis that both were good aflicars, but he wanted their removal for porsonal roasans. ‘The President said thia should not be doas, and that so long as both ofticers porformod their duty to the satis- faction of the Poatmastor-Geueral they should uot be disturbed, Bpencer and Mayer then withe drew, highiy indigoant and cursing the Admin- istration. Bubseguently the Presidont direoted the Postmaater-Geners{ to write both ofiicers that they should not ba removed excopt for canse. ‘The bald stand taken by the Preaident in this matter will do much tawards purifylpg the Ke- rnbuun party in Alabama s} 28 soon as ho knowledge reaches tho Bepubllcans through- out the Btato that Spencer bas ho looger any power to confrol the Federsl appoinimants, he ‘will be dropped, and no looger be looksd upon 43 the central figure of Alsbama Republicanism. —_— NOTES AND NEWS.
