On the aunouncement of this decision by the court, Mr. Heron moved to transfer the case to the Court ef the Queen's Bench, in order that the trial might take place elsewhere, ‘The chief ground for tuis motion Mr. Heron said: was the fact that there were not «1x Amer- ican citizens in the whole city of Stico and therefore it would be impossible to select a mixed jury. At this moment George Francis Train, who happened to be in Sligo, rather unexpectedly appeared before the court. and volunteered to become one of the American jurors, ‘The offer was declined.

Mr. Edmunds.—And that they be considered in Committee of the Whole. Mr. Johnson assented to the suggestion. Mr. Davis said he would make a motion Which he was not sure would receive suppor He moved to recommit report to the committer, ‘with instructions that as the Constitution vided that the Senate should consist of (wo members from each State, the Sonate could not sitas a High Court of Impeachment while Senators from the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina. Georgia, Florida, Alabuma. Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Mississippi not present, and it appears that one of the States named have selected Nen- ators to represent them in the Senate of the United States, Mr. Davis would ask, im all seriousness whether it was competent for the Senate to «it as a high conrtof impeachment on the trial of the President of the United States when & complete representation of all the States did not compose the court. He maintained that the Constitution gave to every State its eqnal repre-entation im the Senate, and Any exclusion placed the control of the whole Government in the hands of a majority cf Congress. If the principle that a State is entitled to equal representation in the Senate be conceded, as he presumed it would be, then that principle is about to be violated in this matter. Now, is Virginia « tate in the Union? Tennessee stood in the sume footing as Virginia, aud Andrew Johnson had sat here as Senator from that Stu! ring the greater part of the war. In the latter part of 1661, his respected friend (Mr. Willey) and Cariis ured here as Senators trom the State of Virginia. The Senator from Delaware (Mr. Bayard) had argued against their adinission, but they were admitted by the nd the whole questios as to whether Virgin: Was still A State in the Union. Mr. Bowden, elected to fill the vacancy occasion:d either by the expulsion of Mr. Hus- ter or Mr. Mason, had been admitted and Ato re erred to eport of achment, en. be rilory eachment trial ¢ Speesal Com- remained here until he died. All these gentlemen bad the same privileges here as other Senators. In the House, during the war, three or four members from Virginia were admitted. Mr. Maynard and Mr. Clements. of Tennesse, i also occ ice seats in the House uring the same period. Some time in Ish, Messrs. Horn and Flanders appeared as repre. seutauives from the State of Louisiana, were sWort in as members of the House, and served out their terms. Mr. Bayard said he did no this was ihe time tw discuss the qu raised by the Senator from Kentucky. He did net think the Senate in its legislative capacity had anything to do with this question, and therefore, Without committing himself on way or the other, he should be compelled to Vote against the recommittal. When the Senate hed resol yed itself intoa high court of impeach- ment, the person who was accused might pos- sibly raise this question of jurisdiction. but until that time, and until he had heard te arguments, he (Mr. B.) would not allow himself to form an opinion on the subject Mr. Davis bad considered the objection sug- gested by the Senator from Delaware, and he bad come toa different conclusion. He thought it was eminently proper for the Senate to de- cide this matter in its legislative capacity, be ause, if his point was sustained, the Senate would have no right to resolve itself into a High Court of Impeachment. If those States now excluded are entitled to rpresentation, then that settles the whole matter. The Senate by allowing the Sevator from Virzinia to occupy bis seat bere, recognized that State as in the ion and as entitled to the rights of all the < Mr. D. then enumerated a num ber of the acts of Congress, the effect of which, he contended, was to acknowledge all the Southern States ax States in the Union. Mr. Morton said if he thonght this was not « legal Congress he would not be willing to sty here. If he thought this was a fragmentory body, he would consider st a fraud if he received any pay or mileage, and he should imagine th Senator from Kentucky would think the same thing. This Senate was just as competeut to setas a high Court of Impeachment, as to transact legislative business. The Senator see.ned to ignore altogether in his argument the fact that we had bad a rebellion, ard that by it these States had forfeited ther rights. He regarded the Senator's presence here as 4 protest against bis own argument. He tvok istue with the Senator at once that State in the Union was entitled to two Senators These nine Northern States had no legue State governments, and therefore had not the power to send Senators here. Mr. Davis said, under the Constitution, Less than a quorum of Senators bad the power to meet and adjourn from day te day, and durinz that period were entitled to ther pay. The Constitution provides that a majority of Senators shall constitute a quorum. and it took this Senate a year or eightven months to com to a different conclusion. The lite Sena Foot and Mr. Foster, then in the Sen had. in most able and forcible argu Protected aeainst the action of the Sena n the early history of our Government both the Senate and the House adjourned trom tim to ume until a majority of all the members of Congress. He contended that Congress and every deparumentof the Government had te peatedly recognized those States as in th Tnion, avd it Was not competent for a muti- lated Senate to sit asa bigh court of impeach- ment, Mr. Johnson said the majority of the Senate bad decided that those States, in their preseut condiuon, were not en ‘i to F in this body, and be was Mr. J. then allnded to the arguments of Mr Davis, and said that unless everything which we have done since [66518 void, unless the Pres ident has erred in recognizing this asa legal body. and unless the courts have erred, tren everything which has been said) by the Senator from Kentucky ges for nought.
