Twen- ty-four subpenas were issued on Saturday evening, and more than a dozen aids of the Ser- geant-at-Arms were coursing over the city, en- deavoving to find tbe gentlemen thas summoned before the Senat as witnesses for the House and the people of the United States. They were principally newspaper men, and as many of them were in distant cities the telegraph was called into requisition, snd they arrived in town on to-day’s early train. The tickets of Admission were sent to Senators and Represen- tatives on Seturday and Sanday, and as they had been premised to fair friends for weeks ‘they found little difficulty in disposing of them. ‘The same number as on the preceding day, one thousand, were issued, and im the same propor- ton of four to each Senator and two to each Representative. The President's house- bold, the Chief Justice, the Foreign Diplomat: the newspaper men and others came in for their cine share, aad then the number was filled and no mory could gain admission. Between ten and eleven o'clock carriages began io arrive in fromt.of the Capitol, laden with. for the most adiws and one gentleman, and a , began to pour throurh the Capi grounds. Ten minutes before eleven and the entrance doors to the Senate portion of the building, guarded by polic were be- sieged, and contrary to the rule, which said that the doors should not be opened until eleven o'clock. silks and satins in long traias Swept throngh the marble halls, up the pure- white marble steps, and into the galleries, At ten minntes past eleven the galierivs were nearly filled with Iadies in brilliant costumes and magnificent toilets. Congressmen sppear to be very good jndges of female beauty. ant must get the credit of possessing a very nice discrimination on that point at least. We Jooked and locked in yain fora dozen plain- looking women in the galleries. It is hinted, we know not with what truth, that the tickets are distributed solely with a view to effect, and that as the intelligence, legal ability and statvs- manship of the country is supposed to be rep- Tesented on the floor, we may have the beauty and elegance of America represented among the spectators in the great historical pictare which is to perpetuate the scene at the trial of the first impeached President. The floor of the Senate presented th> same appearance as on the preceding day of the trial. One hundred and fifty chairs were Fanged behind the Senator's desks for the ac- commodation of the Representatives and thuse entitled to adn ion to the floor, and tw tables were pliced one either side of the S tary’s dewk for the House Managers and the President's counsel. Between eleven and twelve the Senators dropped in and took their Feats Nearly all the ladies known in fashionable | circles in Wa-hington occupied seats in the galleries, among them were Mrs. and Miss L. Chandler, Miss Cameron . Black, Mrs. Senator Sprague, Miss Nettie Chase, Mrs. Sen- ator Wade, Mrs. and Miss Butler, Mrs. Logan. Mrs. Merton, Mrs. Senator Cattell, Mrs. McCul- lech. and Mrs. Randall. In the Déplomatic gallery were Miss Harris, daughter of Miaister Harris: M. Rangebee, Grecian Minister, and some others. Mr. George W. Wilkes, of Wilkes Spirit, occupied a seat on the floor of the cham. | ber. The ¢ lior the President. Seated at a table to the right of the Chief Justice are the counsel for the defense, differ- ing much in bearing and in personal appear- ance, but all bearing the impress of men of ability Mr. Sianbery, who resigned his office as At- tormey General to appear for the President in this trial, sits at the bead of the table. Should the President be acquitted Mr. Stanbery will be reappointed to the Attorney Generalship, the office being kept vacant meantime; but should the President be convicted, why then Mr. Wade will have something to say in the matter, and somebody else will be made Attorney Gen- eral, quite likely Mr. Mathew H. Carpenter, of Wisconsin. Mr. Stanbery is the most distin- guished-looking of the array of counsel for the detense—iall, graceful in bearing, and with a countenance indicative of thought and saga. city. His features are of eagle order. Mr. Stanbery was formerly a Whig in politics, but for the last half dozen years has been a Con- servative, though never a partisan in any sense of the word. The proper spelling of his name is the bother of all compositors. Uur foreman finds it necessary to placard the Star compos- ing-room follows “Spell Stanbery with one S, one T, one A, | one N, one B, one E, one R, and one ¥.” Next at the table is BR. Curtis, of Boston, | Presenting in his short, compact figure and Father bull-doggish expression of facea marked | contrast to Mr. Stanbery. In personal appear- ance be somewhat resembles President Jobn- son, from which fact arose the report so gen- erally circulated on the day of the commence- } ment of the impeachment proceedings that the | President had appeared at the Senate in per- sen. Bix.Curtis maintains a leading rank in | New England for ability and learning. He | was for a time a Justice of the Supreme Court during Mr. Fillmore’s Administration, but re- signed that place to return to the practice ef his profession. Like Mr. Stanbery, he commenced | a Whig, and is now a sort of Conservative Dem- ocrat Mr. W. M. Evarts, of New York, is 4 law- yer-like looking personage, thin, small of size. and with features giving the idea of quickness andacuteness of thought. Mr. Evarts isa de- caded Republican in politics, and one of the foremost members of the New York bar. Mr. Evarts was a leading Republican candidate for the Senate to sueceed Mr. Seward in 1561, and was warmly urged upon Mr. Lincoln by many distinguished citizens for the office of Chief Jusuee whem it became vacant by the death of Judge Taney. ‘The fourth of the President's defenders ts Mr. J.S. Black, of Pennsylvania, a Democrat of the strictest school, who was Mr. Buachan- an’s Attorney General; and afterwards, on the resignation of General Cass, bis Secretary of State.

The con- ceded ability of Mr. Nelson among those by whom he is best known, has doubtless caused his retention by the President as one of his counsel Im appearance Mr. Nelson is rather while drawing upon his head the blessings of monotonous and tiresome. Judging from externmals, Messrs. Stanbery and Mesers. Curtis, Black, and Nelson the sledge-hammer business. Opening of the Trial. At 12:30 Mr. Wade announced that the hour bad arrived when business should be suspend- +d, and the impeachment trial should begin. Mr. Trumbull required that the resolution should be read, and thought that one o'clock was the hour. Mr Conkliag said it was a mere technical point, and thought that Mr. Wade's constrac- tion of the rules was correct. Mr. Edmunds concurred with Mr. Tram- bull. The Senate was not ready to proceed, because the Chief Justice was not present, and the Managers were not in attendance. At this point Mr, McPherson appeared and Tread a message from the House, which was then received. Some further discussion took place on the subject between Senators Edmunds, Trumbull and Conkling. when Mr, Edmunds withdrew tion. etary was then directed to notify the Chief Justice and the House of Representatives that the Senate was ready to proceed with the trial of the President. Atten minutes to one the Representatives began to enter the Senate chamber, and at one o’clock nearly all were in attendance. M: Wade still occupied the chair, but vaeated it at © €."slock Thad. Stevens took his seat a few minutes before one. The Chief Justice ap- peared afew seconds ‘Iater, and directed the Sergeaut-at-Arms to make proclamation, which tiat officer did in the usual form. The Man- agers then entered, and were announced. They entered in the following order: Bingham and Boutwell, Wilson and Williams, Butler and Logan The Sergeant-at-Arms then announced the Foure of Representatives, who filed of on wi. ther side and took the chairs assigned them. At this time five hundred glasses were di- rected on the floor from the fair occupants of the galieries, while asubdued murmur of many sounds filled the House The President's counsel entered and took their seats while the members of the House were coming. All were present except Judge Black, as follows: Hon. Henry S. Stanbery, Hon. Wm. M. Evarts, Judge Nelson, Judge Curtiss, and Hon. W. S. Groesbeck. The Chiet Justice commanded silence, after which, the Secretary called the name of Mr. Dolittle, who advanced to the Presidents’ desk and took the oath. ‘The Secretary next read the journal ofthe last days proceedings. Afier the reading of the journal— Mr. Davis said he would put the same ques- tion to the Court that he did to the Senate. and would therefore submit a motion jn writing. The point ot order was that the Senate could not sit as a Court of Impeachment while cer- tain Southern States were unrepresented. Mr. Howard objected. The reception of the document was not in order. Mr. Conness moved that it be not received, and called for the yeas and rays. ‘Mr. Trumbull held that the motion was in order. The Chief Justice then stated the question, and beld that the order was in order under the wad rule of the Senate. Another was made to adopt the order. ‘The yeas and nays were taken on the motion, and resulted—yeas 2, nays 49. Mr. Stanbery then rose and said: In obedience to the order of the Senate on the last day, we are bere with our answer. We have abandoned onr clients and our business in order to devote every hour to the case, and it is a matter of | regret that the honorable Court did not allow them more time for preparation. Nevertheless, such as it was they would present it. Judge Curtiss then read the answer, substan- ially as follows: Answer of Andrew Johnson to the Article of Impeachment. In ans wer to the first article respondent says, that Secretary Stanton was appointed py Ab bam Lincol», and was permitted by the laws ot the United States to hold office at the pleas- ure ofthe President. By act of 1789 it was en- acted that said Secretary shall perform such duties as shall be sanigned him by the Presi- dent, and that he shall conduct his business in such manner as the President from time to time may direet. Respondents further answers that in Accordance with the practice of each and every President ot the United States, said Stan- ton beeame his advisor, and that he succeeded to the office of President yy, Teason of the death of Abrabam incoln, and the said Stanton held his commission under President Lincoln, and at no time received any appointment or commission from him, save in mere matters of detail. He farther answers that on or about April 5, 1567, he be- came convinced that he could not suffer Stan- ton to hold office without detriment tw the pub- lie interests, and thereupon, by force of the Constitution and laws of the United States, and, by virtue of the power and authority vested in him by the Constitution and laws, did send bim ‘the followfng note. (Counsel read the letter aforesaid, and Mr. tons reply T thereto.) Whereupon the ndeut furt! says that it became the official duty of the Pres- dent of the United States to ci © his powers and duties in such case, and that he thereupon examined all the precedents in the case, and fouud that from te Ith to the 39th Congress he found that he had the power at any and all times to remove any of his executive officers. He further consutted with his Cabinet officers, and had been advised that he had the authority to remove-him. Whereupon, being both able and willing toexercise his judg. ment in such case, he did consider the matter, and determined to, and from hig judgement thereon is.
