THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL, PROCEEDINGS TO-Day,. —_2——_ The largest crowd yet present at the impeach- ment trial was in attendance to-day. With the exception of the Diplomatic gallery, and the ineligible seats in the nosk to the right of the Teporters’ gallery, the space up stairs was very economically packed, and the cane-bottomed ehsirs on the floor, allotted tothe Representa. tives, were more generally occupied, e on the Democratic side, than they have been since the early days of the trial. Mr. Thornton, the British Mintster: James Gordon Bennett, jr. of yachting and newspa- porial renown; Theodore Tilton, of the New York Ind:pendent, and the Hon. Julius Augus- tus Byng, in a resplendent yellow waistcoat, were conspicuous in the Diplomatic Gallery. Among other spectators present on, the floor or in the galleries were Secretary McCullech, Hon. Thomas Ewing, of Uhio; Chief Justice Field, and Admiral Lee. General Sherman occupied a Senatorial chair by the side of Senator Stewart. He has allowed a tolerably luxurious growth of dark brown hair to take the place of the heretofore crop of unpleasant bristles, greatly to the advantage ot his personal appearance. Sitting just in the rear of Senator John Sherman, the marked re- semblance between the ‘so brothers was no- ticeable: the same nervous, yiry organization, knitted brow, keen eye, thin lip, and aggressive jaw. Just across the way irom Gen. Sb man sat his father-in-lew, Thomas Ewing, Senior, of Ohio, looking a hale vigorous old man of the type of able-bodid public men who filled the seats of the Senate twenty yeers ago. Upon the opening of the Court some cumn- lative evidence was put in by the Managers, after which Mr. Curtis took the floor at 12.45 p.m. It is undersiocd that bis speech will ocenpy about four hours im the delivery. The speech is regarded as a strong, compact argument, but monotonous in delivery, lacking the “snap” of Gen. Butler, and so proving rather tiresome to the galleries, At half past two p.m. when the Court took arecess, Mr. Curtis had rot apparently got half through his argument, but he expects to conelnde this evening. To-morrow the doev- mentary evidence will be put in by the defence to be followed by oral testimony. Among the tirst witnesses will probably be Gen, Sherman and Gen. Thomas. Ow pit, that Dr. Peter Bayne, a smartish but somewhat fussy and «‘pinionated” colored politician of Norfolk, Virginia, visited Gen. eral Grant yesterday, accompanied by Mr. Hawxhurst, chairman ef the Ke- publican State Committee of Virgin and read the General a long lecture as to what he ought to do and onght not to do in regard to affairs in Virginia, and insisted especially upon the immediate removal of Goy. Wells. Seeing at the end of his impassioned harangue that General Grant maintained a silence that might mean either assent or dissent, the Doc- tor is said to have remarked somewhat wrath- ily that this matter must be attended to at once, and if it was not, General Grant would get no votes in Virginia. Gen. Grant's reply was to pull the bell-rope for an orderly, and to intimate through him that be had given Dr. B. all the time he had to spare. Tue Kv Kivx Kiay.—The report thet Gen- eral Grant has issued an order to the Military Commanders in the Southern States directing them to suppress the orzanization known as the Ku Klux Klan is without any foundation, asno action upon that subject bas been had thns far by General Grant. General Merde, in command of the Third Military District, has issued an order upon his own responsibility, directing that the organi tion be suppressed. and Gen. Thomas, in com- mand of the Department of the Cumberlard, comprising the States of Tennessee and Ken- tucky. will have it suppressed in those States, should he be called upon by the Governors, but bas no power to act otherwise. as both of the States have a cfvil government. Prnsonar.—Hon. Columbus Delano left for Ohio lust night, there being no prospect that the decision of the Committee on Elections in the House giving him the eat as member from the Thirteenth Ohio District would be put in fo-ce until after the conclusion of the umpeach- ment trial. — W. W. Armstrong, Esq., editor of the Clevland Piaindealer, is at the Metropolitan. He is here, it is understood, as one of the Pres- ident’s witnesses in the impeachment trial. — J.W. Dwyer, Esq.. editer of the Farm ers’ Chronicle, and United States Pension Agent at Columbus, Ohio, who has been in the city for several days past, lett for home last evening.

They will be forwarded to this city in few days, and will be placed on exhibition in the Capitol, where they will Ye- main for 4 short time, and then be distributed to their owners. This display will, we pre- sume, settle the vexed question of “who got medals, and if so what kind.” The public will accordingly be on the qué vive.

Sr. Lovrs, April 9.—An Omaha despatch sa: tuat the Indian agents are suppressing thean- thentic reports, and are doing everything in their power to prevent a true statement of af- fairs being made public.

The Indians attacked the house, but were re- pulsed. . On the 20d ult., one hundred Indians attacked the Horse Shoe ranche, forty miles west of the road. The ranche was occupied by a man nemed Worrell and his partner Thornbury, and another man, Having plenty of ammuni- tion, the whites defended the place until day- light, when they escaped into an underground passage way with loop holes, trom which they kept up a continual fire, killing two Indians na wounding seyen. In the meantime the Indians burred the buildings, stable, and ontbouses, which were valued at $6,000, The next day Mr.Worrell and party escaped to ludian Spring Ranche, three miles east, four more whites were lodged. The en- started for Cottonwood Ranche, 15 miles distant, and after proceeding 6 miles they were attacked by 60 Indians, and along fight ensued, in which three men, named Hooper, Dumpter, and another, were killed. The Indsans lost five killed. The parties then held a council, and the Indians agreed that if he whites would return with them to Iron Spring ranche and give up their goods, they would be allowed to go without further moles- tation, The whites complied with these terms. Aiur plundermg the rancue, the Indians set ire to the buildings Mr. Worrell and three others were brought in by a company of troops. On the 24th ult. a rancbe on the road between Cheyenne Creek and Fort Filterman was burned, but nothing has been heard from the oceupants.

The sub- sisnce of it is that the order for the remo ot Mr. Stanton was, and was intende be. a violation of the Constitution of the United States and of the tenure-of-office net. These are the allegations which the Lonorable Managers are called on to prove, and if it can be shown that Mr. Stanton’s ase does not come within the tenure-of-office -then the charge falls, Mr. C. then read om the tenure-of-oflice act, and the excep- ions provided for. There was to be excepted out ot the class cf civil officers some particu. iar officers, as to Whom other provision was to be made. The first noticable thing in the pro- viso is that it is not stated that every Secretary | ot State or of other Department shall hold of- fice under the provisions of the bill, but here it makes provision for the future ouly. “The Sec- retaries of State, &c.. shall hold their offices for and during the term of the President by whom they were appointed.” The first inquiry that arises is, “for and during the term of the President.” Mr. Stanton was appointed under the first rm of Mr. Lincolu, and the question is, Does Mr. Stanton come within the provis- ions of the act! He (Mr. C.) respecttully sub- mitted that under a judicial interpretation it could not be so construed. The honorable Managers say that Mr. Stanton was serving oct under the unexpired term of Mr. Lincoln. He would read from the Constitution of the United States, that the term of both the President and Vice President was four years; but the limit of four years is not an absolute limit; it 1s a con- ditioval limit. When the President dies his term ends, and the office devolves upon the Vice President for the remainder of the term for which the Vice President was electea. This is the language of the Constitution: and there is no more propricty in saying that Mr. Johnson is serving out the unexpired term of Mr. Lin- coln, than there would be in saying that one sovereign) who succeeded the death of another was serving out t of the term of the deceased sovereign. then, plainly disposes of the idea that Mr. Stanton is serving out under the unexpired term ot Mr. Lincoln. Under the Constitution the Secretary of War is one of the Constitu- tioual advisers of the President, and the Presi- dent may call on him not only for advice in reference to his own Dey ent, but also as Mr. pointed by him ly in the law itself, rai onl; evidence in each Cabinet officers. a tfe tention in regard a originally ¢xcluded Crdinet officers and in that shape went to the House of by Bete aete SESED The counsel looked at the letter and then re at en ghey Dey 8 ‘reer UDOMAD Srgenting Boetboccgnet be ao. de- ) did not quote this as the iduat Sensor, bat . on sd be submited to this Soa- oe of af these statements.

There is a great mass pf judi- ¢-at work done by the Executive iy | Which met at times construe the law. It was the duty of the President toexamine this tenure- of-office law im its various and the Presidest, in the pursuance of that exam~- ination, became con vinced tha: the ease of MI. Stanton did pot come within the jaw, and ip this opinion be was strengthened by thé legal Sdvice which the Constitution turamsted ¥ He would ask how it was possible tor this Sea- ‘Ace to convict the President of high crimes and misdemeanors for construing a Inw as those ‘whe made it constrned it. He thonghtthe ton- orably Managers would find it extremely dim cult to consiruet out of the broken fragments of this article anything that would convict th» President. Although the proviso dots not confer upon the President the power to remove the Secretaries. wt clearly does it y mp. beaten. Under the tenure-of. law of 170%, there ws nothing to prevent tbe President from remov- ing an officer during the session of the Senate. There ts nothing in the Constitution to prohibit it. The Constitution how vacancies may be filled, but there is pothing sud about how they may le made. In the great of 1789 it was generally construed that the Coa piitntion lodged the power of removal is the President, and from ‘®) down to the whole legislation of the country was on the atcumption that the Predident had the? of removal, and the Senate had no con! the matter. That being the case what material ity was there whether the Senate was sersion or not. This power beimg conced- vd to the President in 1759 as either iuberent to him under the Constitation, or as a gramt by the Legisiature. The question no has the Senate got todo with the removal of Mr. Stenton? The power of the President to remove bis Cabinet offices never having been questioned. The list of those absolute re- Mmovals by the Presidents were notmany, but ithad been found necessary to issue an order ot removals before this. He would ask to have thetr atiention to a striking case of reoemt oc- currence. On the eve of the rebellion, the Sec- Tetary of War then in office was disloyal, bis Chiet Clerk was disloyal, and the President said to him le must have’ possession of that office. Mr. Floyd either had too much sense, or teo much politeness, or too much something else io make any objcction, and immediately surrendered the office. and Mr. Holt was pui in his place. The Constitution requires tne President to takecare that the laws are faith- fully executed, and to protect and defend the Consti'ation of the United States. He say every man would agree that when the - deni was doing his best to bave the inws ex- routed, and to uphold the Constitution, that although he might make mistakes, he was not guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. In pursuance As he thought of Teatons which will hereafter appr ident bad sgnified to Mr. Stanton his desire that besbould resazn. Mr. Stanton, ferently from the manner in w! «ar. mations bad always been met, and different trem the manner in which most people thonght he would have acted, refused to do so, and the President thereupon sus] fice. nded him from of- mate refused to concur in such he President cast about to ex- ton came under the «i whether that law was id therefore binding. n.

The President nad no power to as- sume judicial jorisdicuon over the laws ot Congrese, nor did the President thimk of as- ming such powrr.

When a TAneous exposition has been made of a law, and when it hss been followed by a long of practice and observance, it is too late question its validity and application. Mr. C. then read from the tenure-ot-officr bill, and the proposed amendment of Mr. Benson, coniering the power of temoval on the President, and giving as his | reascn that i would there appear that the power wos cont rred by the Legislature, Tae amendment was advo ated by Mr. Madison, and wos passed. Mr. ©. then read from 425 and 450 of Life of John Adams, by bis gtand-on. im reference to this point, and also queied trom Story’s Commentaries. On comparing the decision made in 1750 with the test it appears that it was intended to enter into all the workings of the Government, ard to fix a system for the future. and the meu who participated in it must be conceded to have been particularly well-fitted for their task. To follow a maxim from Lord Quke, practice is the best interpretation of the law. Now what followed. Down to 182 every President and y Congress acted on the construction made “8.
