Phey did notask that Generel Thomas shoald give bail, or thathe should even be placed un- der his own recognizance. Mr. Cox said that Gen. T. had been surren- dered by his bail. Mr. ter said it was clear to his mind that the prisoner could not come here and ask himselt to be imprisoned. The Chief Justice said that the question be- fore him was what disposition should be made of the case. Mr. Merrick remarked that the question first to be decided was the motion for continuance, — the petition for habeas corpus can be made. The Chief Justice remarked that he had great the Criminal Court, 10 is possible that the President may now resume his previous Purpose to bring the qnestion of the constitutionality of the tenure- of-oftice act before the United States Suprame Court by applying for a writ quo warrante against Mr. Stanton in the District Supreme Conrt.

The Court had said that bail ‘was not necessary, and if it was not necessary, then it would be unjnst to require it, Mr. Merrick.—May it please your honor I baye a suggestion —. The Obief Justice said it was unnecessary, for he had determined to grant the motion for the reason that General Thomas does not seek to evade the law. It wasnow the Wednesday before the Monday in which the Criminal Court, with its grand jury, will be in session here are no circumstances in the case be- fore this tribunal which would settle anything. The subject that is now under controversy is parsing the ordeal of the highest tribunal in the land, and it must terminate with the session of agrand jury. In view of these facts, any in- vestigation here would partake of the charac- ter of trifling, and he did not propose to be in- strumental in such a case, Under the avowals made before him, he thought his duty as amag- istrate would be well discharged in dismissing General Themes on motion of his counsel. This announcement seemed to take those assembled rather by surprise, as also General Thomas. und in a moment Judge Cartter re- marking, “General Thomas, you can go:" the General rose, and was immediately taken by the band by his counsel and other friends, and as he left the Court House quite a number in the crowd cheered him. After leaviug the Court House he proceeded with his counsel to Mr. Bradley's office, opposite the Hall. General Thomas is a thin, erect, active looking person, with blue eyes. white hair, and rather mild expression of countenance, He wore a blue military overcoat buttoned to the chin. 1 Dry Goods. The course of the dry goods market has been exactly in accordance with our predictions; prices haye steadily advanced ever since the lirst opening of trade at the commencement of the year, and there was more excitement among ers during the past week than at any time within the past year. The advance in the prices of the raw material has been elightly checked: Dut itis mow seen that there is no overstock of goods, while the country is comparatively bare, And there is no likelibood of a decline in pric’s. ‘The ease of the money market tends to increase the disturbance in political affairs nature to interrupt the ordinary course of business. on the Treasury for funds, sinee the President's order of the 2ist instant, for the removal of Mr. Stanton, was presented at the Treasury Depart- ment yesterday. The requisition was in fayor ef Mr, Martin for quartermaster's stores fur- nished to the Government, and it was signed by Mr. Stanton as Secretary of War, and dated on the 25th instant, (yesterday.) No action was taken upon it up to the closing of the Depart- ment last evening, and it was reported that the Secretary of the Treasury would not honor the Tequisition because it was signed by Mr. Stanton as Secretary of War, This morning, however. the Second Comptroller approved the requisi- tion, and Secretary MeCulloch signed a warrant for its payment. This will, no doubt, be a pre- cedent for action on other requisitions, and will greatly relieve the minds of clerks and other employees of the War Department and its Bu- rons, who were fearing they would not receive their month’s pay on the 2th instant, on ac- count ofa failure of Mr. Stanton’s requisitions to pass through the Treasury. Other requisi- tions have been drawn by thy War Departm né on the Treasury since the 21st instant, bur they were dated prior to that day above- mentioned requisition, being for an account passed and approved since the 2ist, could not be aniedated. No requisition signed by Gen. Thomas, as Secretary of War, has, up to this time, been re- ceived at the Treasury Department, and it is presumed he has not drawn any, * Other requisitions of Mr. Stanton upon the Treasury Department were duly honored to-day by Secretary McCulloch, who signed warrants for the payment of the money required. One warrant for $75.00, for the p ment of salaries in the War Departwent, was pushed through this morning, at the solicita- tion of the War Department officials, as the money was required on the 2th instant. ‘This being the Inst of the month, requisitions for large amounts are being received, the money being required for the payment of salaries.

AT THE WAR DEPARTMENT. Mr. Stanton remained in bis office at the War Department last night, and this morning was visited by a large number of his friends. He full one and a half cents, and in some cases more, The supply of the best mages is very Jimited for the season. Much greater activity has prevailed in bleached shirtings than has been wn before ima long while, and, the stock in first hands being small, ces are steadily tending up- ward. New Yorks Mills has ruled as high as 2 cents, and Wamsuttas at 2¢ cents. The ex ports of domestics from the port of New York since January 1, 1565, are 2,000 packages, aguinst only 590 packages for the same ume im 1867. ‘The market has been very active im every other description of domestic cotton goods, and especially in prints. Prices are so unsettled, and the disposition to purchase largely has been so strongly developed that some of the manuiactuiers’ agents have withdrawn their goods in expectation of realizing mach higher prices. The advance of ‘week has been about scent and a half a yard. Ginghams are in better demand, and are selling at improved rates. Printed lawns are moderately active. Rolled jaconets have advanced in price, and are in good demand, as are silesias and cam- brics. In mousseline delaines there is not so much doing as in cottons: but prices are well sustain- ed and the demand is fairly active. Italian eloths show a sight degree of im- provi ment. Tn cloths there is not much change in price, though there is a more active inquiry. Fancy cassimeres are in rather better demund at unchanged prices. Satinets are dull. Fian- nels sell but slowly, without change of prices, and im small lots. The opinion prevails that woollens will not unde any immediate change of rates: but there is a disposition to purchase at present prices and hold over until next fall, under the conviction that there must be a considerable advance before the next sea- son opens. There have teen some heavy sales of foreign gcods, and the importations are now becoming quite large; but there is not a corresponding activity in foreign fabrics compared with the state of the domestic markets, The here- tofore offered at auction have not been of the really choice styles of dress goods adapted to the coming seoson.

This is partly based on the s0pposition that the vote in the Senate will be as rigidly party as that in the House, and partly that his guilt is co clear that no effective defense re— mains open to him. If there is but one charge brought against him, the case will be reduced tOa dangerous simplicity. But as the Senaturs are sworn to consider the case simply in the light of the Constitution, and adjudge it on the evidence, we may trust ‘that as great a degree of fairmindedness and fair dealing will be brought to the trial as is possible in any court that could adjudicate such 8 case.
