Prenat sear The floor of the Senate Chamber was filled early, a large number of members of the House being present. Senator Nye appeared in his seat for the first time since his illuess, The first business was Mr. Edmunds’ motion to admit official reporters after the arguments are concluded and while the doors are cloned for final deliberation Mr. Williams proposed an amendment, that no Seaator shall speak More than once, and not to exceed fifteen min- utes, durimg such deliberation. Agreed to ‘Mr. Howard then moved a farther amendment that each Senator should speak but fifteen min- utes upon one question. Upon this 4 division ‘was demanded, and it was lost by nineteen to thirty. The Republicans voting in the affirma- tive were Messrs. Fessenden, Fowler, Fre- lingbuysen, Grimes, Howard, Trambull and Wiley. ‘Mr. Anthony moved to allow each Senator to speak thirty minutes instead of fifteen min- utes. This also was lost by sixteen to thirty- four. The Republicans yoting in the affirma- tive were Messrs. Corbett, Fessenden, Fowler and Gr.mes. On motion of Senator Morton, the further consideration of the subject was postponed till after the arguments are con- cluded; and Mr. Sumner’s motions and his amendments to rules were also postponed un- tl after the arguments, at his own request. Manager Stevens then took the floor and commenced reading his speech, (standing at the Clerk’s desk,) at 12.30 p.m. Mr. Stevens read from printed slips, and showed considerable strength for some min- utes, but after proceeding some twenty minutes he was obliged to give way from exhaustion, and Gen. Butler finished the reading. Mr. ‘Williams then proceeded to read his argument from manuscript pages, clogely written, and will probably occupy the remainder of the day It is understood that Mr. Evarts will ocoupy to-morrow and next day with his argument. and that Mr. Bingham will require Thursday Snd Friday for the delivery of the concluding argument for the Managers. It does not seem to be settled yet whether Mr. Stanbery will deliver bis argumentor merely file it, but that he has prepared one 1s certain. Impeachment stock from some undefinable cause seems to havea slightly downward tendency to-day. There are sumors of a break in the line of Republican Sewators, and four are named as certain to go against impeach- ment.O nm close inquiry, however, it cannot be ascertained that any oue of the fournamed has made any declaration, or given any indication to warrant such a conclusion. Still the belief thatthe President's chanees are improving is certainly afloat in the air. ‘Tre Erection 1x Norte axp Soutn Caro- Lixa.—Gen. Grant has received the following dispatch from Gen. Canby, commanding Sec- ond Military District, dated Charleston, S. C., April 26: “Reports have becn received from all but four remote precincts of South Carolina, and the majority for the constitution is 43,608, In the precincts yet to be heard from the yote will be nearly equally divided: From North Varo- lina the returns come in slowly. So far as heard from the majority for the constitution is 7,240. In ten counties complete there is a slight increase over the yote cast for the constitution last fall.” TRIALs BerorE MILitary Commissic Gen, Meade, commander of the Third Military District, has issued an order stating that in view of the frequent failures to substintiate charges sent for trial before Military Commis- sions, he enjoins upon all subordinate officers the greatest caution and carefulness in their imvestigation of all matters calling for the action of the commanding General. When- ever charges are preferred against citizens for trial before a military commission they will be accompanied with a statement of the reasons why the case cannot be fairly disposed of by the civil authorities and also with a full report of the evidence upon which the charges are based, the sworn statements of the witnesses being taken by theofficer investigating the case who will also give the accused party an op- portunity to forward with the same report whatever statements he may desire to present in his defense, Ock Revpey, who has been trying to keep the run of the War Office imbroglio and the Secretaries of War in esse and in posse, the Sec- Tetaries ad interim and ad outerim, has got badly snarled up. If Mr. Stanton is Secretary he wants to know what about General Thoraas: and if (General Thomas is Secre- tary what about Mr, Ewing: and if Mr. Ew- ing is Secretary what is General Schofield ? He thinks a quo warranto or habsas corpus, oF some sort of circ umbendibus, should be placed upon the President to prevent him from nomi- nating any more War Secretaries until the status of the present half dozen can be ascer- tained by inquiring minds. Hon. N.G. TayLon, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, will leave here this evening for the Usage Indian lands in the southern part of Kansas, where he goes to engage in the busi- ness of the comission recently appointed by the President, for the purpose ot making a treaty with the Great and Little Osage tribes, the ob:ect of which is their removal south of their present location, and within the limits of the Indian Territory. & Not To MeppLe wits Poriries.—Brevet Brigadier General O. Brown, Assistant Com- wissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau for the State of Virginis. bas issued the following cir- eular to the various Sub-Assistant Commis- sioners in Virginia : “It is not thought advisable that Barean of- ficers or agents should attend political conven- tions. While it is clearly their duty to ad- vise the freedmen in regard to their political Pp! T agents should become political partisans. You will ree that these instructions are at once promul- gated to your subordinates,” ‘Tur Ware Hovar.—There was quite a large number of visitors at the Executive Mansion to-day, many of whom called to pay their re- spects to the President.

SEnate.—The Court of Impeachment was opened this morning ia due torm. The Chief Justice them announced the first question to be on the motion of Senator E:l- — is to admit the official reporters to the de- erations of the Senate upon the final ques- tion, after the argument shall have beea con- cluded, so that debates may be reported in the proceedings. Senator Williams moved toamend that no Senater shall speak longer than 15 minutes or more than once du! the deliberation. Senator Johnson asked for the reading of the ‘id rule by which it appeared that each Se: tor was restricted to 15 minutes on each article Senator Howard moved to amend by provid- ing that no Senator shall speak longer than 15 minutes or more than once on any one ques- tion, which was disagreed to as follows : Yeas—Messrs, Bayard, Buckale w, Davis, Dix- on, Doolittle, Fessenden, Fowler, Frelinghuy- sen, Grimes, Hendricks, Howard, Johnson, Me » Morton, Patterson, (Tenn.,) Sauls- bury, Trumbull, Vickers, and Wille Messrs, Cameron, Cattell, Cl » Corbett, Cragin, Drake, monds Ferry, Hariun, Henderson, Howe, Morgan, Morrill, (Me.,) Morrill, (Vt., Patterson, (N.

Wilson and Yates—3i, Senator Morton moved to postpore the fur- ther consideration of the subject until after the argument on the part ot the counsel and the Managers shail concluded; which was agreed to. Senator Sumner then asked that the new Tules proposed by him on Saturday shall also £o over until the close of the arguments: which was agreed to. he Chief Justice then notified the Mana- fers to proceed with the argument. ‘Mr. Manager Stevens then rose and procoed- ed to read his argument. His voice was totally inaudible in the galleries. After reading some twenty minutes, Mr. Stevens became too much exhausted to proceed, and the reading of his argumement was continued by Mr. Butler. ‘The argument is as foliows. Mr. Stevens commenced by saying that he would be brief in what he had to say, and Would discuss but & single article—the one that was adopted upon his earnest solicitation, and which, it proved, he considered was quite suf- ficient for the ample conviction of the distin- guished respondent, and for his removal irom office, which was the only legitimate object for which this impeachment could be insti- thted. He would not discuss these ques- lions in @ mean spirit of malignity or yituperauion. but would argue them in a manner worthy of this high tribunal and of the exalted position of the accused. Whatever may be thought of his character or condition, he hes been made respectable, and his condi- tion has been dignified by the action of his fel low citizens. Railing accusation would there- Jore ill become thr occasion. To behold the Chict Magistrate 0: a powertul people charged with the bewayal of his trast, and arrafkned for high crimes and misdemeanors, is always an interesting spectacle. Mr. Stevens then proceeded to note and point out the difference in the offices of impeachment in this country ane in Englano, and then ad- dressed himself to the discussion of the article he suggested. When Ardrew Johnson took upon himself the duttes of his high effice he swore to obey the Constitution, and take care that the laws be faithfully executed. To obey te commands of the sovereign power of the nation, and to see that others should obey them was his whole duty, and any attempt to escape from this would be a direct violation of his official oath; or, in other words, misprison of perjury. 1 accuse him,” said Mr. Stevens, “in the name of the House of Representatives, of having perpetrated that foul offence against the laws and interests of this country.” Mr. Stevens then referred to the tenure-of- office act and read its first section, and cited at length the original suspension of Mr. Stanton; his reinstatement by the Senate; the appoint- ment of General &e. ‘He demed the position assumed by counsel that Stanton did not come under the tenure of office act, and ar- ued that Mr. Johnson was serving out Mr. incoln’s term and not hisown. If the latter Proposition is eorrect there seems to be no ar- gument against including Mr. Stanton within thelxw. The respondent in violation of the tenare-of-office law appointed Gen. Thomas to office, and thus by the terms of the law itself became guilty ofa high crime and misdemeanor. He (Stevens) disclaimed all necessity in a trial of impeachment to prove the wicked or un- lawful intention of the respondent, and it is unwise even to aver it. In impeachmentsmore than im indictments the averring of the fact charged carries with it all that 1s necessary to say aboutinient, In indictments you charge that the defendant, “ instigate’ by the devil,” and so on; and you might as well call on the prosecution” to prove the* presence, shape, and color of his majesty as to cali upon the managers in impeachment to prove intention. He would go further than some, and contend that no corrupt or Wicked motive need im: te the acts for which impeachment is brought. It is enough that they were official violations of the law. A mere accideptal trespass would not be suf- ficient to convict, but that which is voluntarily done is wilfully done. [At this point Mr. Stevens was unable to pro- ceed further,and Mr. Manager Butler was re- quested to read bis remarks.) Mr. Butler then reading from the manuscript noted the fact that the President attempted te justify himself by assering that all previous Presidents had exercise the same right of re- moving officers for cause to be judged of by the President alone. The causes he contended were not parallel, because there was a law to prevent Mr. Stanton’s removal. The President ‘Says he removed Mr. Stanton simply to test the constitutionality of the tenure-of-olftee law b a judicial decision. He bas already seen it tested and decided by the votes twice given by two-thirds of the Senators and House of Rep- Tesentativ tenure-of-office act, and yet in bis communica. tion _to the Senate he says he did do Wretched man!
