The galleries and the Senate floor were crowded to-day, the namber in attendance being far larger than on any day previous, Mr. Bingham closed his brilliant peroration at half-past 2 p. m., and instantly the galleries DR.

Mr. Fessenden and Mr. Reyerdy Jonnson, called Mr. Cameron to order. ‘There was now great excitement through the galleries, numbers rushing to the doors, but failing to get through, in the pressure, and others pausing to see whether the order would be enforced. Those in the Miplomatic and Reporters’ galleries resumed their seats. Mr. Davis, of Ky., now moved that the order clearing the galleries be enforced. Mr. Sherman moved that the Senate retire for consultation. At this time the British Minister and others in the Diplomatic gallery were seen in expostu- lation with some persons near the door, who appeared disposed to clear that gallery, At the same time word was sent to the reporters that they, too, must yamose, They insisted that there must be some mistake; nobody ever heard of reporters having to leaye. They would wait further orders. Mr. Anthony, apparently for the benefit of the press-gang, moved that the order clearing the galleries be suspended; lost; and presentiy the door-keepers came in force to oust the re- porters, who for once had to beat a retreat. As they were going out Mr. Morrill was heard making a motion that when the Senate adjourn it be to Saturday at 12 o'clock. Mr. Cameron, however, would not allow the vote to be taken on the motion until the galle- ries were finally cleared; and not until the last occupant of the galleries had got up and got, and the birdseye maple doors had closed, did the Senate say or do aught more for report- orial ears or eyes. After fifteen minutes time the doors were again opened, and the galleries again filled up to some extent, though numbers had gone home. During their session with closed doors the motion of Mr. Morrill, of Me,, to adjourn until Saturday next, was lost by a vote of yeas 22, nays 2°, t peas & recess, the galeries were again clear- ed. and the doors closed for consultation in se- disturbance of the ons suffering with Seeycenees ov a Miculty in discharg: a cretory organs, or thet ha ing the eoutents of their bow babit of takin opening’ medicines. shou! try one box of these traly excellent Pills.

SENATE—The Court of Impeachment was Opened at noo, with the usual formalities. The Chief Justice notified Mr. Bingham to Tesume his argument. Mr. Bingbam commeneed by saying that are the law, as read by the counsel, Acts ef 159 and. 1795 were no longer laws, and the Presi. dent cap no more act under those laws than the humblest citizen of the land: and, further, under the whole legislation of the co! only power of appointment given to the Presi- dent was a limited one during the recess of the Senate, and all such appointments expired at (Mir, Bingham) cared nothing for the conics ir. Bingham) ie conilicung Copaien f members of the First Congress; the whole subject was settled by the statutes, ‘and the continued and unbroken practice of eighty years; and, this bemg the case, what anthonty bad the President to m&ke a removal and appointment during the session of the Senate. He had shown conclusively yesterday that no such action had been taken iu the case of Mr. Pickering. The law of 1789 gave no such power, and all that the defense has said op that point can avail them nothing, and the lea set up by this accused President tarns to dust and = a oid pots bey pro = Of 1795, and what he might say of that applic equally to the law of 1792. If the defense made here by the President is in virtue of the Con- stitution, how is it that Congress, in the law of 1395, restricted this power of filling vacancies to six months. Can it be claimed that under this act the President nas the power to make vacancies od infinitum. The law of I*3!, more fully than the others, shows the complere power ofthe legistature over this whole subject, that power only being restrained by the power in the Constitution to the President to fill va- cancies during the recess. Mr. B. argued at some length that these acts gave bo such power to the President as was claimed, and in addition that they bad all gone by the board by reason of later legislation. The interpretation put upon the proviso to the ten- ure-of-office act by the opposing counsel (Mr. Curtis) Was not in the least warranted. It is apparent that the term of the President. au- thorized by the Constitution and the law, is the term of tour years, and apply thie to the pro- vision that in the event of death or disability of the President, the Vice President shall exe- cute the duties of the office until such disabil- ity be removed: and is the Senate now to be told that the Vice President. upon whom the dutiee of the Presidency have now devolved. that he is to have a term, and that by reasou of it every executive office immediately became vacant, and are yeu to carry this out to the absurdity that the offices are again to be- come vacant by the removal of the disability This won't do. Andrew Johnson has no term. In pussuaxce of this point Mr. B. argued that all the officers appointed by Mr. Lincoln had the right to hold their offices until the end of the term for which he was elected. If this constitution is to be altered to suit this guilty President, then every mortal man must come to the conclusion tbat since the 1ith day of Apr 1565, we have had no constitutional Secretary of State, of War, of the Treasury, or of the Navy. Senators, your law meaas no snch thing. It never entered into the mind of a single member of the ith Congress. The law was passed for no such purpose. There was no doubt about the true construction of law, and the accused bad no doubt on it, and ever set up such a plea as he has until after these impeachment proceedings commenced. If Mr. Lincoln had lived, he thought thatevery Senator would have beld that he (Mr. L.) could not have removed one of taese Cabinet offic-r= during the whole four years. The statute ex- pressly states that they shall: hold tueir offices tor the term of the President by whom they were appointed, and for one month thereafter. What man can say that the act of 1567 did not away every word of the acts of 175% “05; that is, with feference to those offi who are appointed by anc with the advice content of the Senate. Here is an appointment ad interim during the session of the Senate; here isan appointment to fill a vacancy occurring during the session of the Seuate. But what do the gentlemen say? Thai the attempt did not suceved. Well, be (Mr. B.) had sufficiently answered that point yester- day. Again, they say, suppose after all that this act did not include Mr. Stanton so that it is unconstitutional. He (Mr. B.) bad not the patience to pursue this point any further; butsuppose that these absurd points were couceded, what answer was that to the 2d, 3d, and sth articles of impeachment! I: ‘was no answer at all,and the counsel well knew it. The counsel were a little too fast. The Attorney General, Mr. Stanber d suid that this was an odious unconstitutional law: that it was made only to affect the President: but he forgot that the $th section made every man who aseisted the Presidevt in violating its provisions, guilty of a high crime and misde- meaxor, and peed unau: werable. The Con- stitution itself provides that after the im- peached party is removed, he is liable to in- dictment and punishment for the crimes for which he was impeached. They had heard during the progress of this trial éxtraordiaary language on thi floor. The counsel (Mr. Nei- son) bad stated that neither he nor dent regarded the House of Representatives as having the right toimpeach the President, or ———_- re. —____ TaEWorkING PEorLe.—A season of “strikes’s appears to have arrived. As foreshadowed in the atticle we copied a few days since in the New York Star, a strike took place among the workmen in that city and Brooklyn on Mon- day, when the laborers at Prospeet Park, the latter city, struck for an increase of pay. The strike was general, as over nine hundred men+mployed upon the grounds refused to go to work unless the commissioners would gua. antee them an increase of fifty ceuts per da The men have been present time. ‘The lal work on the sewei n the 23d ward of New York also struck fo: incre of wages Mo: day morning. They have been receiving $2.25 per day, and now demand ). The con- tractor, Thomas Cummings, refused to accede to their demand, and the men refused to work. At the same time, the men employed by Loper & Davis in excavating the cellars for a row of brick builvings on the corner of Third avenue and 9th street, struck for the same advance, Tbe men are all acting in a very quiet and orderly manner. At the same time, the laborers in the 19th ward of New York strack, ac- cording to @ resolution adopted among them last week. The object of the strike is that they shall only work eight hours on Saturday. Itis announced that the laborers, about forty in number, on the Queen Anne's and Kent Railroad, at Wilmington, Delaware, have sus- pended work. their empioyers demanding leven hours as a day's work, whilst the men refuse to give more than ten. The dispute will Probably be compromised. A despatch from Nashville announces that the colored waiters at the hotels there struck for higher wages yes- terday, and that the hotel keepers were endeay- oring to get white waiters in their places. Over a thousand coal miners in the Maiiom- ing Nalley, Ohio, threaten a strike unless their Wager are raised twenty cents per ton. Many iron factories in South Staffordshire and Exst Worcestershire, England, are closed, owing to a strike of the workmen against a tweFve per cent. reduction in their wages. It is said that the Everett Mills, at Lawrence, Mass., em- ploying 900 hands, now run on tuil time, and in some portions of the work over time is made. It is proposed to hold a Congress of the English Trades Unions at Manchester during the coming summer.

His answer says that he does not consider tht Senate 2s having the authority to try, because of the ab-ence of twenty Sepators regularly elected from ten States, which was a question with which the President had no more to do than the Czar of Russia. It was impudence and arro- gance unparalleled.
