The Replication by the House. At W minutes past 11 o clock Mr. Boutwell got the floor. and presented the replication on the part of the House Impeachment Managers to the President's answer filed yesterday, as follows Replication by the House of Representatives of the United States to the answer of Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, to the articles of impeachment exhibited against him by the Howse of Representatives. The House ot Representatives of States have considered the several answers of Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, to the several articles of impeachment | against him, by them exhibited in the name of themselves and of all the peeple of the United | ‘Stages, and reserving to themselves all advan- tage.of exception to the insufficiency of his an- swer toench and all of the several articles of impeachment exhibited against said Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do deny each and every averment in said several answers, or either of them, which denies or averses acts, intents, crimes, or misdemean- ors charged against said Andrew Johnson in said articles of tmpeachment, or either o: them: and for replication to the said answer @o say, that said Andrew Johnson, President of the United Sta: is guilty of the high | crimes and misdemeanors mentioned im said articles, and that the House of Representatives is ready to prove the same. Mr. Boutwell, previous to presenting the replication, offered a resolution adopting the replication on the part of the House. Atter an amimated debate the resolution was adopted by @ vote of 115 ayes 96 noes; a strict party vote.

AwenpING THE Revenve Laws.—Mr, Cul- lom introduced im the Howse to-day, a bill (which was referred to the Committee of Ways and Means) amendatory of the Internal Reve- nue Laws. It provides that all instruments and writings made and executed on or beforethe ist day of July, and which were requir- ed by the laws’ of the United States, then in force, to be stamped, and which were omitted to be stamped for any cause except that of an intent to evade the payment of the revenue dne thereon, may, atauy time hereafter, before the ist day of January, 1569, be stamped in the manner now required by law. The instru- ments and writings referred to in the foregoing section may be stamped by the Collector of the District, where the same may be registered or sought to be used as evidence upon satis- factory proof made before him by aifidavit or orther wise, that the omission to stamp the same wns not for the purpose of evadirg the pay- ment of the revenue due by virtue of the laws t) the United States. The Collector in allsuch cases, upon stamping such instrument or writing, shall collect from the party having the same stamped a penalty of not less than five dollars nor more thzn one hundred dollars, as he in his discretion may deem just and proper. All instruments and writings stamped under the provisions of this act shall be as valid to all mtents and purposes, as well between the parties thereto as to third persons, as if legally stamped at the time the | Same were made and executed. All laws in coulict with this act are hereby repealed. PoutticaL.—The Republican party is said to be vnusnally well organized in Kentucky. Cessins M. Clay, upor bis return from Russia, will stamp the State for Grant. ——The New York cerrespondent of the Chorleston Courier does not desire any “old fogy Conservative” candidates for the Presi- dericy, but a live Democrat. «Such a man,” he “is Gen. McClellan, and such a man is n T. Hoffman, Mayor of New York, whose popularity among the masses is daily increas- ing.” — In thirty-three counties of New York, in which town elections haye been held this spring, the Republicans carry 3% towns, and the Democrats 279. Last year the Republicans carried 462, and the Democrats 213. The Dayton L-dyer, Voliandigham’s organ, 1s disposed to take a gloomy view of the pros- pects of the Demoeratic party. “Last summer and fall,” it says, “hesitancy, ‘policy, and dis- sension characterized the Republican party, as ecation of miscellaneous busin: Proceedings im the Senate. Precisely at one o'clock the Chief Justice en- | sered the Chamber and directed the Sergeant-at- Sims to make proclsmation. The Managers were anrounced and entered at three minutes sfter one. Mr. Stevens was the only Manager | absent, The memvers of the House thenen- | tered, Beaded by Mr. E. B. Washbourne, of 111. | ‘The President's counsel were all present, viz Hon. H. S. Stanbery, Hon. Wm. M. Evarts, | Hon. Wm. S. Groesbeck, Judge Nelson, and | Judge Curtis. The galleries were not as fully crowded as yesterday, but presented as bril- hamt and animated an appearance. The diplo- matic gallery was nearly empty. Among the ladies present were Mrs. Anu S. Stephers, the novelist, Mrs. L. and Miss H. Chandler, Mrs. and Mics Butler, Mrs. Matthews and Miss Matthews, Mrs. and Miss Sinclair, New York, Mr. Frank Taylor, artist; Frank Leslie also cceupied & seat in the galleries, and was busy sketching for that paper. After the reading of the journal of yesterday’ proceedings by the Secretary of the Senate— Boutwell said: Mr. President and Sen- ‘s. I am directed by the Managers on the t of the Honse to present the following replication to the answers of the President to the articles of impeachment. [The replication is given elsewhere.} Mr. Johnson moved that copy of replication be furnished to counsel for the defence; which was carried. The Chief Justice then stated the qnestion before the Court to be the unfinished business of yesterday, which was the motion of the Sen- ator from Maryland, to aMlow the President ten Gays? extension of time. Mr. Sumner moved to amend Mr Johnson's order by inserting after the word order that the Senate proceed with the trial and continue it trom day to day Mr. Edmunds moved that the Court retire to ensider the order and amendment granting an extension of time. A division was called for, and the vote being taken, resulted—yeas 29, nays 23. ‘The Senate then retired to the marble-room at 10, While the Senate was absent the spectators n the galleries, who had sensibly provided emselves with sandwiches, apples, and other ms of lunch, occupied themselves in munch- ng sud mibbling with great gusto. The champ- ing of so many pairs of jaws produced a curious merease to the volume of sound caused by the buzz of conversation. The members broke up into groups of fours and fives and balf dozens, and chatted om the sitgation and aspect of affairs. Mr. Wilson, of ihe House managers, walked over to the table where Mr. Stanbery was seated, and both gen. tlemen, after shaking hands very warmly. chatted pieasantly for ten or fifteen min- Gus. Several of the Sepators and Representa- tives Were introduced to Mr. Evarts, among them Judge Woodward, of Pennsylvania, with whom he talked sor upwards of half an hour. Mr. Stanbery sat busily employed at his table, making motes of some sort. It is understood that the cause ©! the smaller ndance in the galleries to-day 1s in conse- ence of the tickets having been issued only * morning, and mauy of them not having reached the applicants. The Senate returned tothe chamber at half past 3p. ai, after am absence of two hours, having left the room at half past one p. m. ‘The Chief Justice announced that the Senate had adopted an order that the Senate would commence the trial on Monday, March juth, ‘The witnesses were then ordered to appear <2 p.m. of that day, amd the Coart then ad. ourped anu! the same tume.

C. Eaton, Deputy Quartermaster General, will proceed to St. ais, Missouri, and temporarily take charge of the du.ies of the Chief Quartermaster, Military Division of Missouri, until the return of Erevet Major General J.

Card, by the same order, is directed, in addition to his present duties as depot Quartermaster at Fort avenworth. Kansas, to take charge of the office of the Chief Quartermaster, Department of the Missouri, and attend to its duties during the absence of General Eaton. CoMMANDER OF THE Firtu Mititary Dis- TRICT.—The Presédent yesterday directed that Brevet Major General Robert C. Buchanan, colonel first infantry, be assigned to duty ac- cordirg to his brevet rank, and the order was issued by Gen. Grant. Gen, Buchanan, who isnow ch daty in Louisiana, by this order is placed in command of the Fiith Military Dis- trict during the absence of Gen. Hancock. Gen. Reynolds was left in command by Gen. Hancock, bat Gen. Buchanan ranks Gen. R. both by brevet and by seniority, and being as- signed to duty according to his brevet rank, takes command of the Fifth District. CrecvLan To PayMasters.—Paymaster General Brice has issued a circular calling the attention of Paymasters to paragraphs 1,376 and 1,277, army regulations of 1863, so frequent- ly neglected: “Stoppages against officers re- funded at payment must not be deducted from the focting Of their pay accounts. They are to be receipted for to the officer refunding, and the gecounts credited to the United States on the Paymaster’s next account current. The full amount of the vouchers, without such de- duction of stoppages, must appear charged upon the abstract of payments. This require. ment must not be overlooked or neglected.” ‘Tux Waite Hovse.—This morning the Pres- ident had aninterview witn General Hancock, which lasted about one heur. He was closet. ed with his counsel, Messrs. Stanbery, Cartis, Evarts, Nelson and Groe. beck, preparing for the trial.

Buckalew, Edmunds, and others, Mr. Wilson, from the Committee on Military Afiairs, reported a bill authorizing the Secré- tary of War to devote certain cannon to the , Lincoln Monument Association. Mr. Morton then adyocated the passage of the bill under discussion. ‘The bill was then passed by a vote of 39 to 12. Mr. Sherman offered au order that the order relative toadmission to the galleries be-sus- pended until further orders, and thatthe Ser- geant-at-Arms take care that due order should be observed during the progress of the trial and be authorized to bring tothe bar of the Senate any person offending against the rules, and that the ladies’gallery, the diplomatic gal- lery, and the reporters’ gallery be reserved for those entitled to admission therein. Mr. Sherman asked that the order lie on the table. At one o'clock the President pro tem. vacated the cbair, and it was occupied by the Chief Justice. The Sergeant-at-Arms, by direction ot the Chief Justice, made the usual proclamation commanding silence, The counsel for the President entered and took their seats. ‘The Managers of Impeachment were an- nounced, and came forward and took their seats, and were followed by the House of Rep- Tesentatives. ‘The journal of proceedings was then read by the Secretary, Mr. J. W. Forney. ‘The message of the House, announcing that a replication had been adopted, was then read by the Secretary. ‘The Chief Justice stated that the Senate was ready to hear the replication. Mr. Boutwell, fomthe Managers, arose and read the replication The Chiet Justice.—The replication will be received and filed. On motion of Senator Johnson, an authenti- cated copy of the replication was ordered to be furnished the counsel tor the President, ‘The Chief Justice stated the question now before the Senate was the order submitied by the Senator from Maryland, (Mr. Johnson.) which he directed the Secretary to read, to al- low ten days to the President to prepare for trial. Mr. Sumner submitted a substitute, that now the replication haying been filed, the ceed immediately from day to day. Mr. Edmunds moved that the Senate retire for consultation, — rr, Sumner,—No; no.

Jur. Cullom (I1.) introduced a bill to amend the revenue laws. Referred to Ways and Means Committee, On motion of Mr. Blaine, (Me.,) the Senate amendment to the Post Office Appropriation bill was taken up and concurred in. On motion of Mr. Woodward, (Pa.,) the Com- mittee on Judiciary was directed to inquire into the expediency of repealing so much of the vet of 25th February, 1662, as makes anything but gold and silver 4 legal tender for the pay- ment of debts. Mr. McClurg (Mo.), from the Committee on Elections, submitted a report in the contested election case from the 9th Kentucky district, with two resolutions; the first declaring taat as Jobn D. Young bad'yoluntarily given aid and comfort to the enemy during the late war he was rot entitled to@seat in this House; and thrt Semuel McKee, not having received a ma- Jority of the votes cast, was not entitled to a seat. Mr. Kerr (Ind.) submitted a minority Teport, declaring Mr. Young entitled to his seat, th reports were laid upon the table to be called up for future consideration. Mr. Poland (Vt.), from the Committee on the Eevision of the Laws of the United States, re- ported back Senate bill in relation to the settle- ment of public accounts. [It amends the act of March 3d, 1817 and secures mors prompt set- tlements, as it obviates the necessity of accounts passing through so many offices as heretofore.] The bill was passed—yeas 101, nays 18. A meseage was received from the Senate, by Mr. Forney, its Seeretary, transmitting a certi- fied copy of the answer of the President of the United States. Mr. Chanler (N. ¥.) asked that the message of the President be read. ‘Tae Speaker ruled that the order of the Sen- ete transmitting the answer could be read, but hat gentlemen could not call for the reading of the whole answer. Mr. Boutwell, (Mass.,) on behalf of the Im- penchment bern orp then submitted the: Re- plication, {published in another column of the SEAR. Mir. Roatwilt immediately offered the fol- lowing: Kesolved, That the House ot Representatives hereby adopt the replication to the answer of the President as soon as submitted by the Board of Managers. Mr. Spalding (O.) did not think the replica- tion was as full as it should be, and he warned the Managers to be careful, as they might find themeelves entrapped by the lawyers conduct- ing the other side of the case. r. Bout well did not feel for he thought the replica case Mr. Woodward (Pa.) said that the answer of the President to the 11th charge amounts toa demurrer, for he denies that he has committed an impeachable offence. That puts another question in issue, and there should, therefore, be a special replication to answer that demurrer inform. The issue should be made up as in answer to the demurrer contained in the lIth article, for otherwise there could be no proper issue joined. > Mr. Bingham (O.) said it would be noticed 11, 88 well as all the other articles, gh crimes and misdemeanors in office, je the answer leaves much room for apprehensive, n met the whole lea of not guilty. There was no that could be Fe Leap that would pporsis, a a rer in the case ‘Mr. Boutwell, at this point, called the pre. vious question, and said after it was seconded he would yield to gentlemen for discussion, id yield particularly to gentlemen on fhe minority sideof the House. juestion was seconded, and will but what they sT@ erdered to do by the Houee. The House is responsible for the e- tion of the Managers, and the Managers are re- sponsible to the House for what tiey do; and he (Mr, Wood) believed the members of tue House had aright to criticize and review the conduct and action of the Managers as he now Propowed to do. On the first day when the trial e was in progress in nate one of the Managers, (Mr. Bingham) took to lecture and bully the Seni te by saying he wanted to see if they would dare to set aside one of their own rules which jopted for their government pend- 2 the trial: and yesterday the same Manager undertook to reflect upon the Chief Justice of the United States. Thegeatleman, in pursuing this course, cannot eay that he represents the House of Representatives; and he (Mr. Wood) protested against his profese:mg to represent the House when his action is neither courte. ous, nor decorous or proper. Again, one of the’ Managers (Mr. Butler) said yesterday to the Senate that they wouid be prepared to pr rent the replication at | o'clock to-day. Who sv athorfged that statement to be made? “Do the Managers present the replication, or does the House present it? This was an assumption of authority which this House should not permit to pass by unnoticed. Why to-day even Baltimore paper has in its columns the rep! cation to the President's answer, by, the Managers. and it is thus given to the country in advance of its having been acted upen by the House of Representatives. Is this House nothing, and are its members nobodies, that these unauthorized acts are te be done | He submit- ted that gentlemen who presumed to represent this House should be at least decorous in their conduct. He insisted that it was the duty of the Managers to submit all of their action to the House, and that the House must be consalt- ed before any final conclusion was reached upon any maiter or upon any question, and it was their duty to report progress, This was oae of the rights of the House which the Mana. gers should be compelled to observe. Mr. Butler (Mass.) said he understood one of the objections of the gentleman from New York to the replication to be that it was in the name of all the people of the United States, and that as he does not approve it, and it is not made in his name, it is therefore not a good replication. If that objection were a good one, then there would be an end to all criminal prosecutions, at all tames and in all courts, Mr. Wood desired to correct Mr. Butler in part, and to say that he did not believe the Teplication was in ihe name or by the approval of any of the people of the United States. Mr’ Butler replied that the representatives of the people always represented the people, and it was so held fur nearly five hundred years, ‘There was only one instance on record when 4n objection similar to that of the gentleman trom New York was ever made. hen the people of England were smarting under the tyranny of Charles the First they undertook to remedy the evil. Their mstitution did not’ provide ‘a remedy, as ours dces, but they acted outside their Con- stitution, and Very properly too, and when they were about taking Charles to the block in the'name of “all the people,” one adherent of Charles, and one only, was heard to object. ‘The tribunal trying Charles sought out that one individual for the purpose of bringing the ; hment, and he (Builer) wished the precedent could here be carried out as that Aiter a long search that objector was ud to be only arinting old woman. [Laugh- ter.) As to the objection that the repitcation was published in a Bal r f sid he supposed on blished, and any new orm from t Mr. Wood.—(Holding up a paper.) Here it is inthe Baltimore American of this morning and with the names of all the Managers at- tached to it. Mr. Butler.—Then that ends the whole mat- ter, for the names of the Managers is not at- tached to the genvine replication, We don’t propose to do business in that way. The agers do not sign the replication, but the Speaker signs it by order of the House. With regard to the paper in which the replication was found Mr. Butler desired to say that he did not take it or read it, and he did not suppose the gentlemen on ‘his side of the House would give it news to aid it along. Mr. Bathr subsequently recalled li reniarks. He understood the paper ree verred to was the Balumore American ‘That was a yery respectable paper, but it. wos insvch bad Lauds this morning that he had supposed it was the Baltimore Gazeite that was referred to, As to the objection made that the Managers had made an woauthorized promise that they would file the replication at 1 o’clocx to-day, Mr. Butier denied having said that the Managers would file the replicction. What he did say was that the Managers would file it with the leive of the Honse, and be proposed tokeey bis agreement with the Senate if gentleman from New York would not interfere for delay. As to the question of propriety on the part of the Managers, the House would know how to consider that, coming as it did irom & gentleman who yet stands under its censure for improper language used. Mr. Wood.—That censure was the greatest compliment I ever received in my life. Mr. Eldridge (Wis.) said it seemed to him that this whole subject of impeachment was made a matter for levity on the side of the House, and it seemed to bea subyect of the greatest possible amusement. As to the charge of the gentleman from Massachusetts that these objections mad were like the rantings of an old woman, he thought this House had demon- sirated during these proceedings that it had a full complement of ranters, Mr. Beaman (Mich)—On which side? Mr. Eldridge supposed the gentleman knew that it was on bis (Beaman’s) side of course, and the gentleman is himself a fair specimen ofthe ranter. Mr. Eldridge then continued and said the paper now before the House pro- fessed to be a replication to the answers of the President; but was it sol Yesterday after the answer was read and containing as it did im- portant truths of acts which required time to amswer; yet the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Bingham) professed to be ready then to put in # gneral replicction, Has this solemn matter of impeachment become so much a matter of form that the old forms can be taken for the Answers to theee papers! It seems tnat the Monazers were almost prepared with their re- plestion berore the answer was even filed in the Senate. He had great confidence in the gentlemen composing the Board of Managers, but he did object to their representing him inthis matter, Nor did he think this replication wi a proper one. The President has given bis swer at length, and he (Mr. Eldridge) bel: that it was all true as stated by the Presi The answer to many of the articles must admitted to be true by even the majority of this House. Why then deny everything in the an- swers! If some parts were admitted true, let the House with candor say so, and save the ex. pense that will attend the summoning of many wainesses. By putting in a replication only to such of the articles as really demanded it time would be caved, and the trial would be early concluded. Mr. Williams (Pa.) addressed the House for & few minutes upon the subject. Mr. Woodward, (Pa.) addressed himself Again to the question as presented in the form of a demurrer. Mr. Boutwell then resumed the floor and said he was compelled to demand a vote, unless the House would agree that the replica. tion should be considered adopted at fiye min- Utes of one o'clock, and without a yea and nay vote. Mr. Wood declined to make such an agree- ment, as he wanted the yeas and nays recorded upon this question, he yeas and nays were then ordered, and the replication and accompanying resolution Hire adopted by a vote of 116 yeas to 36 nays. The yote in detail was as follows: ‘YEA8_ Messrs. Allison.

Second, that no new personal rights should be created, and the commission on the Irish Church should limit its operations to matters of immediate necessity pending the final action of Parliament upon the whole the question. Third, that a petition should be presehted to the Quren, praying that the church patronage of Ireland be placed at the disposal of Parlia- ment. Disraeli said the Government would be ready to meet the consideration of the resolu- Hons in the House by the end of the present month, and it was agreed that debate on the subject should commence on the 30th of May.
