C.. SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1868. THE EVENING STAR Washington News and Gossip< THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL, ‘The trial drogs heavily to-day. The feeling among Senators is becoming so strong mm favor of finishing the trial that an effort will be made with prospect of success, to hold'a session this evening, should Mr. Stanbery not conclude bis argoment during this aiternoon. It was Mr. Bingbam’s intention to haye had the commence- ment of his speech prin’ but be has changed his purpose, and he will now speak altogether from notes, Several heavy wagers were made here yes- terday onthe final resalt of the impeacument trial, the odds being about three to one in favor of con vietion. ‘When the Impeachment Court assembled to- day the galleries were not one-quarter filled, and very little iuterest was manifesiedia the proceedings in that part of the Chamber. After the usaal preliminary proceedings, Mr. Stan- bery continued his argument, bat had spoken only @ few minutes when he became exhausted and was compelled to sit down. ‘Senator Reverdy Johnson moved an adjourn- ment, in consequence of Mr. Stanbery’s teeble- ness. Mr. Stanbery, however. asked that an Adjournment should not be made, and after pausing a few minutes to rest himself and wipe his brow he resumed his feet and went on for some ten minutes, when he was again obliged to sit down from exhaustion. Mr. Anthony now moved an adjournment. Mr. Stanbery again asked that there should be no adjournment on his account. Mr. Sumner suggested that some one else should read the speech. and Mr. Stantery then asked that his private secretary. Mr. W. F. Peddrick. might be allowed to read it, and that gentleman, who is something of an elocutionist, proceeded to read it im tones so distinct that some thought it a matter of regret that he had not been engaged to read all the speeches of the trial. From the progress made in the reading up to two p. m. it is quite certain that it will be con- clnded this afternoon. Among the spectators to-day were Mr. Jobn R. Young, of the New York Tribune; Don Cameron, (son of Senawor Cameron,) President of the Pennsylvania Norihern Centra! Rail- Toad; Wayne McVeigh, prospective United States Senator from Pennsylvania; and Alex McClure. another prominent politician of the Keystone State. INTEREST ON THE PUBLIC DEDT.—Yesterday, about £94,010 0) in coin was check-d from the Treasury Department to pay the semi-annual interest on the five-twenty bonas, which falls due upow the first of May and first ot Novem- ber. This reduces the amount of coin on hand to something over sixty millions of dollars, consequently the siatemcut of the public debt for this month, to be issued about the first of June, will show a large increase in the same, No more coin will be required for the payment of intery st until the Ist of July, when $27,090,000 willbe used for the payment of ‘he semi-an- nual jntervst on the five-ewenty boads end bonds of 1.81, whch iails dve upon the Isi of July and I<t of Janvary. The total amount of coin required *o pay the interest on the public debt aunusily is about $115,600,000, $54,000,000 of which is patd on the Ist of January and tet of July, #44,004,069 on the Ist of May and Ist of November. and $9.0c0,(0) on the ten-corty boni's due on the Ist of March and Ist of September. EXrenses OF THE GOVERNMENT.—The war- rants issued by the Treasury Depsrtment dur- ing the month of April last, to meet the re- quirements of the Government, amonnted to, ju round numbers, the following sums: Qivil, miscellaneous, and foreign intercourse, 86,696.0.0; interest on the public debt, $90!,00% War, $6,772,000; Navy, $2,430,000; Interior, pen- sions and Indians, $1,831,000. Total, $18.01" ,000. It appears by the above statement that the expenditures of the Government for the month were $18,011,000, and as the customs receipts will come within three millions of the expen- diture, it necessarily follows that the reduc- tion of the public debt for the month will be very heavy, to-wit: the entire receipts from internal revenue and all other sources, less the above, $3,000,000. SPATED Amon the Senators at the Impeach- ment trial is seer daily a venerable white- baired gentleman, who attracts attention by the dignity of his appearance. This isthe Hon. Alfred Conkling, who, nearly half a century ago, was a member of Congress from New York. His son, Senator Roscoe Conkling, bears considerable resemblance to him, both being considerably over six feet in height, and very looking men. Twe other sons of his, one from New York city, and one from Unei- da, New York. were members of a former Congress, being the only instance on record, We believe, where a father and three sons have occupied seats in that body. Tae Wuite Hovss.—A large number of vis- itors were at the Executive Mansion this morn- ing, nearly all of whom were admitted to see the President. Secretary Seward, Gen. Ros- seau. Mr. Evarts, and Collector Smythe, of New York, nad interviews with the President this forenoon, Lovist, Information reached the Repub- lican Congressional Committee to-day from New Orleans that the Democrats have one m2- jority certain in the State Senaie of Louisiana which will prevent the adoption of the amend- ments to the Conetitution, and thus delay the admission of Louisiana. PERSONAL.—Semator James W. Nye, from Nevada, who has been detained by indisposi- tion from occupying his seat as one of the High Court of Impeachment, has greatly improved in health, and yesterday reappeared in the Sena te chamber. Internat Revenve.—The receipts from this source to-day were 1,245,555.92; for tne week 4,573,03.39; end for the fiscal year to date $158,942,242.61. GENERAL GRANT left the city last evening for Philadelphia, where he will remain until to-morrow or Monday, Tux Naval APrrorriation Brtt.—In the House of tatives yesterday, Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, calied up the Senate amendments to the naval appropriation bill the majority of which were concurred in.

IMPEACHMENT. ——_-—__- CONCLUSION GF Sm STANBERY'S Satvebay, May 2. SENaTx.—The Court of Impeachment was Op: died at noon with the usual sjormaliuies. ‘The Chief Justice notified Mr. Stanbery to proeeed. Mr. Stanbery said that first of all he mast re- turn bis eaaks to the Senate for their kindnes: Yesterday. ‘was much refreshed is and sponght he would be to get thronkh e entered upon this case he must erik is saraneey not that bo bowed to carry & body dike x Prluse of confidence, but he bed exeiained matter from. and: there: was not SA Done cree. itmota shadow of Mr. Stanbe: t then. sub- stantially as lotlows, from the pened wees int where he left off yesterday, departing occasionally from the text of the : prepared : But if Senators should be of opinion that the tenure-ot-office act protected Mr. Stanton, and that the attempt to remove bum was equivalent to @ removal, he (Mr, Stanbery) wonld next maintain, first, that the President had a right to construe the law for himself; and if, in the ex- ercise of that right, he committed an error of construction, and acted under that error, be is net to be held res; ible. Second. If be bad so construed the law asto be of opinion that Mr. Stanton was intended to be protected by it against bis power of removal, and was also of opinion that the jaw in that respect was con- trary to the Constitution, he is not to be held responsible if he therein committed @a error. T. Stanbery proceeded to argue these points in the order in which they were stated. With regard to the first poini he agreed that igaor- ance or misconception of the law doves notin general excuse a party from civil or criminal ability; but he contended that there were ex- ceptions, and that this case fell wi'hin one of the exceptions. Where « law is passed whieb concerns the President and touches his official duties, it is not only his right but his duty to determine for himaself what is the true construc- tion of the jaw, and te act or refuse to act ac- cording to that determination, whatever it may be. He is invested with a discreuon which is cate them. The Constitution does not vest him with judicial power, but it does invest him with a discretion as to the mode of executing iaws. In support of this point, Mr. Stanbery cited the opinion of Chief Justice Chase, delivered in the Supreme Court in April, 1:67, upon what was called the Missi<sippi injunction cave, Mr. S.then argued that when this ten- uc ef office Sct came to be considered by the President in reterence to his purpose toremove Mr. Stanton irom office, he had a right, and it was his duty to decide for himself, whether the proposed removal of Mr. Stanton was or Was not forbidden by the act. The act hai as yet received no construction by the judicial de- artinent, and the President could pot setile 1s doubts, it he entertained any, by asking sny other opinions than those of the heads of ie- partments. With regard to the second point, Mr. Stun- bery said it appeared that the President's opin- ton'upen this question was made up delibe:- ately. When the law was on its pa:tage. ad had been presented to him for approval. his opinion was formed that it wes in violation of the Corstitution, He resused to approve it, upd returned it to Congress with a message in Mbich this opinion was distinctly announced, The exercise of that veto power e~hausted all his merns of resistance to what be deemed au Unconstitutional act in bir legislative capacity. But this law wes directly armed at him and at the Executive power. Wher, therefore, be came a second time to consider it, it was in the disebs=ge of an Ex°cutive duty. Had he then bo d'sceetion! Was he then bound to act in an altogether ministerial capacity! Having once fineily exercived a discretion in his icgisiative eapacity, to prevert the passage of the law, was he thrrevy deprived of bis discretion in his executive cmpacity, when be was called upon to act under itt ‘He (Mr. Stanbery) knew it had been said that a law passed over the President's veto by the constitutional two-thirds has a greater sanction then a law passed in the ordinary way, but this is a modern heresy. unsustained by any reason or authority. It stands upon an equal footing with other legislative acts, and caunot be put upon higher or lower ground. The question then recurs, 18 the President mves‘ed with a discretion in his executive capacity ! Mr. Stanbery contended that he is, and in sroport of that assumption be quoted from Jexerson, Jackson, and Van Buren upon this point, He then cited various authorittes upon the point, that a law passed by Congress in viokition of the Constitution is totally void, and as io the discretion vesied in the President to decide for himself the question of the va- lidity of such law. Mr. Stanbery then proceeded to call attention to the other articles, axd first the conspiracy articles which he said all relate to the same subject matter, the war office, the Secretary of the War office, and brad aguesnd property therein. And thisis all that necess; to be said about these articles for not a scin! of proof hes been adduced ir. their support. Next as to the $th article usually known asthe Emory article. This had no substance im itself from the beginning and since the testimony of Mr. Wells remains without the sligatest tounda- ton. Next as to the 10th article relative to the speeches made atthe Executive Mansion, at Cleveland, and at St, Louis. Itis in the name of ail the Ler a ot the United States that Sena- tors are in this article called upon to hold the President of the United States guilty for speak- ing as the article has it, with aloud yoice to assemblages of American citizens what is called scandalous matter touching the 39th Congress of the United States. In the first place, that political body did not deem it necessary to guard its own honor and privileges by taking notice of s0 made against themselves. Every word cl bad been brongnt to their notice, but they deliber- ately declined to interfere, and so the slander, if slander it was, spoken, and the object against which it was spoken, bave all passed away, and a new Congress finds it necessary to vin- dicate the honor of its defunct predecessor by doing that which its predecessor refused to do for itself. It passes comprehension that such an article as this should be gravely presented in the name of the American ple. If there is any one precious right which our people value as a jewel beyond price, it is the right of free speech, with the corresponding right of a free press. Muzzle the one or gag the other, and we are buck aga to the times when there ‘was no such body in the States as the people. Mr. homage 4 then referred at length to the jealousy with which the le of Great Brit- sin bad guarded this right, He 10 Constitution upon the subject, and referred to the odium that attached f0 the sedition laws of uly 14, 1798. ith regard to the t1th article, Mr. Stanvery confessed his inability to make anythinz out of if, and he did not feel justified in taking up the time of the Senate in the consideration of this anomalous article. And now, after this review of the articles, Mr. Stanbery asked where was the iaischiet, or where was injury to any individual or any officer of the Government, z H i g if | the Ot stitution} This bantling of cna from the first showed few signs of vitality. It bas the Managers with hc cre iy by nager hose business it was first to it to the notice of the Senate.

The law of 1563 repealed no prior law, and conse- quently the President's act was not inconsistent with the law of 1795. With regard to the testimony in the case, Mr Stanbery argued that there wes none to war- rant conviction. He asked Senators to remem- ber the testimony of Gen, Thomas, Gen. Sher- man, Mr. Cox, and Mr. Mernek. and see throughout the purpose ot the President, de- claredat all times, trom first to last, to bring this q@estion to judicial arbitrament. In conclusion, Mr. Stanbery spoke as toilows “Senators, it was not at all necessary for the | defense of the President that in the exercise of that discretion winch the law allows to him he | should pe put to prove that his intentions were all right. He has gone far beyond the necessi- ties of his case. Never were good intentions and honest motives more thoroughly proved than they aye been proved im this case. I re- peat it that if everything else were made out, this great «Xeulpatory fact must absolve him from alleriminas Hiatilitiy. And now, Sena- tore, I have done with the law case. There remains tor me, however, a duty to periorm—one of solemn .mport and obligation—a duty to my client, o my former chiet, to my friend. ‘There may be those among you, Senators, who cannot find a case of guilt against the President, there may be those ameng you who are not sat- isfied that a case for impeachment has yet arisen, are fearful of the consequences of an acquittal. You may entertain Vague appre- heusions that, flushed with the success o' Acquittal, the President will proceed to acts of violence and revolution. Senators, you do not know or understand the man. I cannot sw that you wilfully misunderstand him; tor I, too, though never an extreme party man, have Yelt more than once in the heat of party con- flicts the same bitter and uncompromisivg spirit that may now animate you. The ime has been when I looked upon General .fackson ss the most dangerous of tyrants. Time hits been when, day after day, 1 expected to see him inavgurate & revolution: and yet, aiter bis ad- ministration was crowned with success and sustained by the people, I lived to see hm fincefally surrender his great powers to the ands that conferred them; and under the soft- ening influences of time I came to regard him not asa tyrant, but as one of the most bones! and patriotic men. Now listen for amoment to one who under- stands Andrew Johnson betier than moct of | You, for his opportunities have been greater. When, nearly two years ago he called me irom the pursuits of my professional life to take a seat in bis Cabinet, I answered the call under asense of public duty. Icame bere almost a stranger to bim and to every member of the Cabmet, except Mr. Stanton, We had been friends for many yeare. You tbat all my tendeucies are Gon-ervative You, Mr. Chief Jostice, who bave known m- for a third of a century, can bear me witnes< law, not arms, is my profession. From the mement that I was honored with a scat in the Cabinet of Mr. Johnson, not a step was taken that did not come under my obsérvation, not a word was said that escaped my attention. I regarded him closely in Cabi- net, and still more in private and confidential | conversat on. Isaw him often tempted with bed advice. I knew that evil counsellors were more than once around him. I observed him | Wich the most intense anxety, but never in | ‘word, in deed, in thought, in action, cover ‘n that man anything but royalty to the Constitution and the laws, He stood firm as a rock sgainst All temptation to abuse powers, or to exercise those which were uot conferred upon him, Steadfast and self-reliant im the midst of all difficulty, when dangers .breatened, When temptations were strong, he looked only to the Constitution of bis country and to the people. Yes Senators I have seen that man ted few have been tried. Ihave seen his confidence abused. I bave seen him endure day after day _privations such ax few men baveever been called upon io meet. No man could baye met them with more sublime patience. Sooner or later, however, I knew the explosion must come. And when it did come, my only wonder was that it bad been so long delayed. Yes, Senators, with all his faulis, the President has been more sinned sgninst than sinning. Fear not, then, to acquit him. The Constituuon of the country is as sate in his bands from violence as it was in the hands of Washington. But if, Senators, you condemn him; if you strip him of the robes of office; 1f you degrade him to the utmost stretch of your power. mark the prophesy: The strong arms of the people will be about him. They will find a way to raise him from any depths to which you may consign him, and we shall live to see him redeemed. and to hear the mayes- tic voice of the people: well done, faithful ser- vant, you sball baye your reward. But if Senators, as I cannot believe, but has been boldly seid with almost official sanction, your votes have been canvassed and the doom Of the President sealed, then let that judgment not be pronounced in this Senate chambe-, just here where our Camillus, in the hour of our greatest peril, single banded, met and baftled the enemies of the republic; not here where he stood faithiul among the faithless: not bere Where he fought the good fight for the Union and the Constitution; not in this chamber, whose walls echo with that clarion voice that in the days of our greatest danger carried hope and comfort to many a desponding heart, strong Av army with banners. No, not here: seek o: rather the darkest and gloomiest chamber m the subterranean recesses of the Capitol, where the cheerful light of day neverenters. There erect the altar and immoiate the victim.
