The original paper, Did you ax the Seal of the court to the war- a. it o. ae ‘A. On the 224 of February last. ‘At what hour of the day? A, It was-between two and three o'clock on the pe of that day. At What place? A, At the Clerk's office. Who brought that warraat to you? A, I don't know the gentleman who brought It to me; he said ‘that he was a member of Congress—Mr, Pile, of Mis- ur. *@ He brought it to your house at that hour of the morning? A. Yes, sir, And you went then to the Clerk’s oMicg? A. I ‘went then to the Clerk's office and affixed ‘hé seal. Q To whom did you deliver the warrant? A. To ir. Pil Mr. Pile. Q. The Marshal was not there at that time? A. e you got the warrant there? A. Yes, sir. ¢ Did you bring the aMavit upon which it was founded, or did you get that afterwards? A. I be- lieve I have got all the bg ie . noe rg alidavit (showing papers)? A. That ts the amidava Mr. BurLeR (after examining the paper)—Mr. President, before the counsel for the President offer ‘the aMidavit and Warrant in evidence, 1 would like to ask the witness a question, if it 1s in order. (To ‘the witness.) You that you affixed the seal ‘about two o’clock in the morning, if I understand you? A. Between two and three o’clock in the morning, Q. You were called upon to get up and do that? A. I was. g And in a case where agreat crime is committed, and whea it is necessary to stop the further progress ‘of the crime, that is not unusual? A. Where it was necessary to prevent a crime I have done the same thing in habeas corpus cases and in one replevin case, i think. Q. Where it is a matter of consequence do you do that? A. Yes, sir. Q. It is nothing un for you to do that in such eases? A. It is unusug have done it. By Mr. Stansexy—Have you been often called upon to doit? A. Only in extreme cases. Mr. BuTten—I have the honor to object to the Warrant and aMdavit of Mr. Stanton, 1 do not think Mr. Stanton can make yeoecry, against the Prest- dent or for him by any affidavit he can put in in any eding between hun and Lorenzo Thouas. Ido Bot think the warraut is relevant to this case in any form The fact that Themas was arrested can be shown, and that isall, The affidavit upon which he was arrested is certainly res inter alias. That is a Metter between Thomas and the President, and this as between Thomas and Stanton, and in no view is it pertinent or reievant to this case, or competent in form so far as I am instructed, ir. EVARTS—Mr. Chief Justice, the arrest of Gen- ‘eral Thomas has been shown in the testimony, and they argue, I think, in their opening the satentlon to ‘use force to take posscasion of the War Office. We Ow propose to saow what that arrest was in the form and sulstance by the authentic documents of At through the warrant and the aMidavit on which it was based. ‘The afiidavit of course does not prove ‘the facts stated in it, but the proof of the afidavit show the facts upon which as ajadicial foundation ‘the warrant proceeded. We then pronase, to follow this opening by showing how it teok place and how the etforts were made in behalf of General Thomas by habeas corpus to force the question to a determi- Ration in the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. BUTLER—1 understand if this atidayit goes in at all it is then evidence of aii that ts stared, If they have a right to put it in. Mr.-Evaurs—You have a right to your own con- clusions from it. Mr. BUTLER—Not from the conclusions; but, I think, nothing more cleariy shows that it cannot be evidence ‘than that fact. Now, this was not an attempt of the President to get this matter before the court; it was an attempt of Mr. Stanton to protcct himself frem , Vioience which had been threatened before. This Was made at night. Stanton was infornftd, if we may judge from tue evidence, of the threats made to Messrs. Wilkinson and Burleigh, aud the threais made at Willard’s Hotel. Beinz informed of tt, he did not know at what hour this wan might bring his masqueraders upon lin; and, tucreupon, he ried to protect humse f. ~“Hdw that relieves the ent from crime because Stanton arrested Thomas, or Thomas arresicd Stauton, is more than i can see, Suppose Stauton had not ar- rested Thomas, would it show that the President is not guilty here? Suppose he did arrest him, does it show that he is guilty? Is it not res inter alias— ucts dove by other parties? We only adverted to ‘Whe arrest to show what effect it had upon his crime. Mr. Evaw It has already been putin proof by General Thomas that he went to the court upon this arrest; he saw the President and told bit of his arrest, and tiat the President limmediately replied Chat that was as he wished it to be—to get the ques- on ia the couris. Now, | propose to show thal this As tie ‘quesiion that was im tue court—to wit, the question of the criminality of a person accused ‘under this Civii Tenure act—and I then propose to Sustain the answer of the President, and also the Sincerity and substance of this his statement, already an evidence, that bis proreere having been com- amenced, as ii was by Mr. Stanton, against General Whowmas, was usmediately taken hold of as the speedi- st and ost rapid mode, turough a habeas corpus, in ‘Which the President or General ‘Thomas, acting in ‘that behalf, would be the actor in order to bring at once beiore (ie Supreme Court of the District the question of the validity of his arrest and confine- Ment under on act claumed to be unconstitutional, With an immediate opportunity of appealing to the Supreme Court of ihe United states, then tn seasion, from which at once there could have been obtained @ determitiation of the question. Mr. Bol Aud whenever that is proposed to be shown I propose to show that Thomas was dis- charged Irom arrest upon motion by his own counsel, and Unerefore the Senate will be travelling Anio the question of various facts taking place iu ther court. I have not yet heard any of the earned counsel say that this does not come within tue rule of res (uler atias—facis done between oher Mr. EvaRts—I did not think it necessary, Mr. BUTLER—Pertaps that would be a good answer; Dut whether itis necessary or not, is it not soy Is there a lawyereanywhere that does not understand and does not kuow that proceedings between two ther ns after a crune as committed Were never brought ince case to show thatthe crime was not omitted? Did he see thatatidavit? Never. Did he know what was init? No, All he knew wasthat his name was carried into court ander a process. He never saw a paper, he did not know what was the evidence; but Thomas weut and told him, “They have arrested me.” He said, “That's where | want it to be—in the courts.” This aifidavit of Mr. Stanton is excellent reading. It shows the terror and alarm of this good District of Columbia when at night men well known to be men of conti- nency and sobriety, representing important districts in Congress, saw it was their duty to cail upon the Judge of the Supreme Court and to call upon the venerable clerk of the court at night to get a war- Fant and take immediate means to prevent the con- Bulmation of Uses crime. It shows the terror aud aluria that the Unuautiorized, illegal and criminal acts of this respondent produced. That 1s all in tt undoubtedly; is all in the affidavit undoubt- be shown, And thea we have before the Ss appeal to (he laws Of Mr. Stan- ton, which this respoudeut never asked either before or since. Although furnished with ali the panoply of attack or <dcfence in his Attorney General, he never Drought a writ of quo warranto or any process. All that might appear we should be compelled ty have ti in, provided it docs not open up ito re- gions of Usexplored, uncertain, diduse, Lnproper evidence upou collateral issues. If you are reagly to 0 into iti ain; but 1 say tt does tot belong to this case. I think we can make quite as much of ivas they can, but ft is no portion of this case. Itis not the act of the President; it has nothing to do with the Presitent, The Presitent never saw these papers, His notevideuce. What Stanion aud Thomas did themscives must answer, » STANBEKY—Mr. Ciitef Juice and Senators, Mere Wo grounds upon which we ask the ad misao: this evideace. First of all, it is claimed by the Managers, from what is already ‘in evidence— mark, that Js already iu evidence —ol the declaration of we President that he made tie removal to bring + the question of thut law to the consideration of the . courts.

Mr, BUTLER—Mr. President, Ido not mean to trouble the Senate with more than one or two statements, First, it 48 said that Mr. Thomas was discharged wholly. That depends upon the Chief Justice of the Court. If we are going to try him by impeachment wait until after we get through with this case; ope tria! at a time is aaficient. Because he did his duty under the circumstances Mr. Stanton, nor you, nor anybody else has any right to condemn the act of the judge until he is here to defend bimself, and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court 1s sap able to doit. Then, there is another point which ! wish you to take into consideration. As to the claim that General Thomas had become a good citizen, I have not agreed to, and Ido not believe that anybody else has, He himself says that on the next morping he agreed to remain neutral, and they took a drink ether; that next morning he agreed to stop and take a drink and remain netitral. (Laughter) Mr. Sranseny—Then Stanton took drink with the reat criminal? TT BuTLER—He took a drink with he President's tool, that’s all, The thing was settled, The poor old man came and complained that he hadn’t had any- thing to eat or drink, and in tender mercy Stanton ave him something to drink. He says from that four he never had any idea of force. Now, 1 want to call the attention of the Senate to another fact, and that is that they did not bind him to keep the e. He said he was not told to keep ne peace. He said it was necessary for him to make that point, and he said the Judge told him “This don’t interfere in any way with your duties as Secretary of War.”” But there is still another point. This unconstitutional law has been on the statute book since @ year ago Jast month, and the learned Attorney General who sits before me has never put in @ quo warranto, Mr. STANBERY attempted to say that he had pre- pared a quo warranto, Mr. BUTLER—I have never heard of it; but it will be the drat exhibition that was ever made before & court of the United Where is there @ quo warranto filed in any court? Where is the proceed- ing taken under it? and I put it to him as a lawyer. Did he ever take one? He is the only man in the United States that could file a quo warranto, and he knows tt, He-is the only man that could initiate this proceeding, and yet it was not done; and he comes and talks about putting in the qnarrets of Mr, Stanton and Genera? Thomas, which are res inter alias in this matter. aisg Bete nothing more to do with this case than the fact which the Presl- dent, with the excellent taste of his counsel, put in evidence, against my objection, that Mr. Stanton had, when this man was suifering frgm want of a breakfast, given him a drink. ‘The offer of the affidavit, &c., was put in writing and read by the clerk, and the Chief Justice ‘was understood to decide that it was admissibie, Mr. BuTLER—Does your Honor understand that the aMdavit is admitted? ‘The Cage Jusrice—Yes. a BUrLER—! heard one Senator ask for the ques- tion. The Carer Justice inquired if any Senator asked for the question? Senator Conness replied in the affirmative. The Cuter Justice stated the question to be on the admission of the affidavit and warrant, and they were admitted by the following vote:— YEAs—Senators Anthony, Buckalew, Cattell, Cole, Cor- bett, Cragin, Davie, Dixon, Doolittle,’ Feesonden, Fowler, Frelinghuysen, (rimes, Henderson, ‘Hendricks, ‘Johnson, McCreery, Morrill of Me., Morrill of Vt, Morton, Norton, Herson' of N.

Clephane, but Senator Johnson sent to the chalr the following question to be put to General Sherman, who then re- sumed the stand:—“When the President tendered you the office of Secretary of War ad interim, on the 27th day of January, 1863, and on the 3ist of the same month and year, did he at the very time of making such tender ‘state to you what his purpose in so doing was ? Mr, BINGHAM objected to the question as being in- competent within ruling of the Senate. ‘The Caer Justice Pat the question to the Senate = the Co cage and it was admitted by the folow- ing voto;— ¥A8—Senatora Anthony, Bayard, Buckalew, Davis Dixon, Dovilttie, Fessenden: Fowler,’ Frelingbu ce tiie Henderson, Johnaon, McCreery, Morrill of Mey Morr of Vt., Morton, Norton, Patterson of Tenn., Ross, Sherman, Surnoer, Truimbutl; Van Winkle, Vickers, Willey 36.

We ask the Senate to answer that the last clause, “what did the President say,” is the Met f question upon which the Senate solemnly decided adversely. The last clause now put to the witness by the honorable Senator from Maryland is, “What did the President say,” making the President's declarations evidence for himse It was said by my associate in the argu- ment on Saturday that if that method were pursued in the administration of justice and the declarations of the accused were in evidence for himself, at his pleasure, the administration of justice would be tin- possible. Senator Davis—I rise to a question of order. It is that the learned Manager has no right to object to a question propounded by a member of the court, Mr. BINGHAM Was proceeding to discuss the point when he was interrupted by the Care Justice, who “4 while it was not competent for the Man- object toa member of the court asking a it was, in his opinion, clearly cotupetent 4 to @ question when asked, Senator D&akse inquired whether it was competent for a Senator to object to the question being put The Curer Justics though uot, but said that after it was put it must necessarily depend on the judg- ment of the court, Mr. BinGaaM—Mr. President, I hope I may be par- doned for saying that my only purpose is to object to the question, not to object to the right of the hon- orable benator from Maryland to oifer the question. The point we raise before the Senate is that it Is in- competent for the accused to make his own declara- tioas evidence for himself, rhe Cuike JusTiCgE—Senators, the Chief Justice has already said upon a former occasion that for the pur- pose of proof of the intent this question Is admissibie, and he thinks also that it comes within the rule which las been adopted by the Senate as a court for ts proceedings, This is not an ordinary court, but @ court com largely of jaw vers aod gentiemen engaged in business trans- actions, Who are quite competent to weigh the ques- ons subinitted to them. ¢ Chief Justice thinks it in accordance with the rule which the Senate has adopted for themselves, and which he has adopted for his guidan: Mr. BurLer—Do T understand the Chief Justice to y (lat tus is precisely the same question that was d upon last night Cuter Jestice—The Chief Justice does not un- dertike to say that.

The President stated to me that the relations which had grown up between the Secretary of War, Mr. Stanton, and himseif—_. Mr. BuTLEW—I must again interpose an objection, ‘The question ts for the witness simply to state w the President said his purpose was, and not to intro. duce his whole declarations, I pray that the point imay be submitted to the Senate, whether we wii have the whole of the long conversation between tie President and the witness, or whether we shail have nothing but the purpose oo ed by the President, Wikners—t imveuded to be very precive in wy statement of the conversation; but it tome Frere cara aie ces tet esident told me 1c Ons een and Mr, Stanton, and between Mr, Stanton and other members the Cai were such that he could mot execute the oftice which he filed as President of the United States without mating: prov saiee ad interim for the omce of Secretary ‘ar, and that he had the right under the law, and that his pi @ Was to have oitiee administered in the interests of the army and of the country, and he otfered me the office in that view.

Witness—I asked him why lawyers could not make @ case and not bring mo, an officer, into the contro- versy? His answer was that it was found impossi- ble, for that a case could not be made up; “vat,” said he, “if we could bring the case into the courts it would not stand for an hour,” Mr. SranBeny—Have you answered as to both oc- casions ? Witness—The conversation was very long, and covered a good deal of ground. Mr. BUTLER—I object to this examination being re- newed by the counsel for the President, whatever may be the pretence under which it is renewed. 1 hold, with due order, that this be allowed. See how it is attempted. Counsel dismissed the witness; he was and was b) it back at the request of one of the judges. ir. STANBERY—I must interrupt the learned gen- tleman to say that we did not dismiss the witness; on the contrary, both sides asked to retain him, the learned Manager (Mr. Butler) saying at the time that ae mae to give him a private examination.

Senator JOHNSON asked for the reading of the ques- oes e propoaei, by himself, and they were read by the clerk. ‘he Cuisr Justice—Nothing is more usual in courts of justice than to recail witnesses for further examination, especially at the instance of any mem- ber of the court. It juently done at the in- stance of counsel. It is, however, one of those questions properly within the discretion of the court. If the Senate desire it | will put the question to the Senate whether the witness shall be further examine: ‘ARTS—May we be heard upon the subject? ieF Justice—Certainly. Mr. EvarTs—The question, Mr. Chief Justice and Senators, whether a witness may be recalled is always a question within the discretion of the court, and itis allowed unless there be suspicion of bad faith or unless there be special circumstances where collusion is suspected. Courts frequently may lay down a rule that neither party shall call a witness who has been once dismissed from the stand, and of course we shall obey whatever rule the Senate may adopt in this case, but we are not aware that any- thing has ‘occurred showing & necessity for the adop- tion of such a rule, Mr. BuTLER—When the witness was on the stand Saturday this question was asked of him:—“ At that interview what conversation took place between the President and you in relation to the removal of Mr. Stanton?’ That question was objected to, and after argument the Senate solemnly decided that it should not be put. ‘hat was exactly the same question as this, Then other proceedings were had; and after considerable delay the counse! for the President got up and asked permission to recall this witness this morning. The Senate gave that permission. This morning they Tfecalled the witness and put to him such questions as they pleased, Then the witness was sent away, and then one of the judges decided to put a question to satisfy his own mind. Of course he was not acing as counsel for tie Presi- ent—that cannot be supposed. Senator Jonson, rising—What ,docs the honorable Managor.mean ? * Mr. BUTLER—I mean precisely what I say, that it cannot bo supposed that the Senator was acting for * the President. Senator JoaNsON—Mr. Uhief sustice, if the -honor- able Manager means to impute that in anything I have done in this trial | have been acting as counsel, in the spirit of counsel, he does not know the man of whom he speaks. I aim here to dischatge a duty and that duty 1 propose to discharge, 1 know the law as ee he Gaal r, BUTLER— in repeat, so that my language may not be misunderstood, at it cannot be sup- posed that he was acting as counsel for the Prest- dent, remot 4 put the question to satisfy his mind upon something which he wanted to know, how can it be that that opens the case so as to allow the President's counsel to 0 on to @ new examination ? How do we know that he ts not acting as counsel for the President, and that there is not some understand- ing between them, which | do not charge? How can the President's counsel know what salisties the Sena- tor’s inind ? He recalls a witness for the purpose of satisfying hisown miud, I that it is common one of the to recall witnesses for something overiooked or forgotten; but tL mever have known that where a member of the court wants to satisfy himself by putting some question that that opens up to the counsel on the other side to pus.other questious, ‘The court is allowed to put rk because a Judge may want to satisfy his mind on a rticular point; but, having satisfied himself on hat particular point, there is an eud of the matter, and it does not open the case, 1 trust that I have answered the hono. able Seaator from Maryland, that ke no impulation on him, but am putting it right the oiwer way. Senator Jouwxson—I am satisfied. Mr. Chief Jus- tice, I rise to say that 1 did not know that the coun- sei proposed to ask any questions of the witneas, and [agree with the honorable Managers that they have no right todo any such thing. (Sensation in ) AM—I desire, on Lelialf ot the Mana- gers, lo Say—that there shall be no possible misun- derstanding—to disclaim, once for all, that there was ho jatent by my associate, who has just taken his seat, or any intent by the Managers, at any time or in any way, to question the right and the entire pro- priety of Senators calling on any witness and pat Ung any question which they may see fit. We im- pare no Unproper motive to any Senator in doing 80, put recogni is perfect right todo so and the entire propritty of it. ‘ Mr. Evak’s—A moment's consideration, 1 think, Will satisfy the Senate aud the Chief Justice that the question 18 not seriously as to the right to recall a witness, but as to whether a witness having been recalled to answer the question of one of the judges, the counsel on either side is obliged to leave that portion of tie evidence incomplete, some evi- dence might be brought out which, as i stood Laked, might be prejudicial to one side or the other; and certainly tt would be competent, under the ordinary rules of examination, that the counsel shouid be permitted to place the matter before the court within the proper rales of evidence, Mr. STANSERY—Tho honorabie Senator from Mary- land, having put his question to the witness, a new door has been opened which was closed upon us before. New evidence has been gone into which was a concealed book to ua, and about which we could neither examine nor cross-examine, It was closed to us by & decision of the court on Saturday; but it is now opened to us by the question of the Senator, Now, is it possible that we must take an answer for better or for worse to @ question which we did not put? If fa that aoswer the matter haa been condemuatory to the Presideut; if the answer had been that the Presi- dent told the witness expressly (hat he intended to violate the taw; that he was acting in bad faith; that he meant to use force, are we to be told that because the fact was brought out by a Senator and not by our selves, we Cannot pul one question to elicit (he Whole trutiy ‘This is Mo lesumony of our secking. Sul pose it hat bem brought out by a Seutor, is ihe Secretary of Wur sacred against the pursuit of the true and seered right of examination? Does the doc- inne of estoppel come in here that, whenever a ques tion is answered on the interrogatory of a Senator We tuust take (he answer without any opportunity of tesling it turther? If so then we are estopped, not by our own act, not by the testimony which we called out ourselves, bat by the act of another, and we are shut out from the truth because a Senator has chosen to put ing question. We hold that the door has been opened, that new testimony has been introduced into the case, and that We have a right to croasexamine the witness to ex- he testimony, to contradict, if we can, to im- 'y witness who testified to ft if we can Weare eatiticd to use every weapon which @ de- fendant has put into his hands, M—-Although the Senate cannot fall to ed the extraordinary remarks which > have just fallen from the lips of tic honorable coun sei for the President, it hy arent to ite telligent men, whether on t nate or tn the galicries, that the counsel for the President have atiempted to obtain through this w tneesthe mere vapid declarations of the accused to rev) the legal presumption of his guilt arising fr us having done an unlawfal act.

Wiat was 1? “Nothing was said, said the witness, “in the ‘first conversation about an appeal to the courts; and dnally it was said by the President ‘that it was impossible to make wy a case by which t> appeal to the courts.” These declarations of the President, standing in due form, yet not satisfac. tory to the counsel, are brought up, to be sure, om @ question from the honorable Senator from Mary- land; bust that Is not satisfactory to tie counsel; aud now they tell the Senate that they have a right to crors oxamine, Tocr 8+ Xamine whom’ To cross examine their own Witness. For what purpose? In search ofthe truth, they say. Weil, it is pursuit of the truth under dificuities. (Laughter) The witness has already sworn to matters of fact. That shows the naked falsity of the defence interposed here by the ident, that his only purpose in violating the law was to test the validity of the jaw in the courte, Why did he ~ not teat the validity of the law in the courte? It will not do to say to the Senate of the Wnited States that he has accounted for it by telling this witness that a case could not be made up. The learned gentieman 10 hag just taken his seat ia tou familiar witi tie law of the country, too familiar With the abie adjudi- cations in this very case in the Supreme Court to veuture to endorse for @ moment these uticrances of his client made to the Lieutenant Genera, that i: was impossibie to make case ; 1 stand here to assert, What the learmed gentleman Knows rigat well, tat @li that was needful to make up a case was President of the United Sta‘es to do what he did in the first instance, issue an order airesting Mr. Stanton to surrender’ the office of Secretary War to Mr. L, Thomas; to surrender all the records sand property of the onlce to him; and in the dience of the Secretary of War, or his refusal to obey that order, to exercise the authority which Is vested in the President alone through his Attorney General, Who now appears as his attorney in the trial in the defence in this case, and to Issue out this writ of quo warranio, That is the law which we undertake to say is settled in the case of Watlace (oth Wheaton) the opinion of the court being delivered by Chief Justice Marshall, and no member of the cvurt dissenting, It was declared by the Culef Justic: as the opinion of the court that’a writ quo w 0 could not be maintained except at the instance of the govern- ment. That power, therefore, was vested in the At- torney General. Let the President answer in some other way than by this declaration sought to be reached by cross-examination of their own witness. But, Senators, there is someihing more than that in this case, aud’ J desire simply to refer tJ it here in passing. The queation which arises here in argu- nent now 1s substantially and in fact whether, hav- ing violated the constitution and laws of the United States in the manner sown here, they cannot at last strip the people. of the wer which they retain to themselves by tmpeachment to hold such malefactors to answer before the Senate of the United States to the exclusion of the interposition of every tribunal of justice on God's footstool. What has the question to do with the final decision in this case? I say that if your Supreme Court were sitting to-day in judgment on this hire it would have no influence over the action of this Senate. The ques- tion belongs to the Senate exclusively. The words of the constitution are that the Senate shall have the sole power to try impeachments. ‘The sole or only power to try impeachments includes the power to determine the law and the facts arising in the case. It 18 in ‘vain that the decision of the Supreme Court or of the Circuit Court, of the District Court or of other court outside of ‘this high tri- bunal is mvoked for the decision of any question arising between all the people and their gulity Pres!- dent. We protest against speech that has been made here. We protest also against the attempt that has been made here to cross-examine this wit- br to get rid of the matter already stated so truth- ‘all by the witness, which clearly makes against thelr client, strips him naked for the avenging hand of justice to reach him without let or hindrance. ir. EVARTS—Mr. Chief Justice and Senators, 1 cannot consent to leave matters so misrepresented. My learned associate, arguing on hypothetical case, Cant whether, tf evidence elicited on the juestion of a judge should be injurious to a party, the party would restricted from cross-examina- tion? It had not the remotest application to, as must have been apparent to every intelligent Sena- tor, and was not connected in the least. with the evidence given. The evidence given, if a; le to the Managers, is é¢xtremely satisfactory to us. On inguiry of the President by the Lieutenant-General whether lawyers could not make up a case without anad interim appointment, the President said it could not be done, but that when there was an ad in- terim appointment the case not stand half an hour. Mr. BINGHAM—I desire in re: to remark vel briefly that instead of counsel for the President be! tering hig client's case he has made i worse by the attempt to explain the declarations of the President to the witness as to its being impossible to make up @ case without an ad interim appointment. But now how does the case stand? Has not the Presl- dent made an ad interim appointment three months before this conversation with the Lieutenant General? Has he not made an ad interim appointment of Genera! Grant in August, 1867? Oh! say the gentlemen, he only suspended Mr. Stan- ton then under the Tenure of Oflice act, and therefore the question could not be very well raised, I have no doubt that that will be the answer of the counsel, and it is all the answer they can make. But, fenSeeeen, Senators, how does such an answer, put here by the President, that he did not make that suspension under the ‘Tenure of Office act, but under the constitution of the United States and by virtue of the power vested in him by that constitution? He cannot play fast and loose in that way in the presence of the Senate and of the people of the country, Why did he not sue out his writ of warranto in August last, when he had his appoint- ment of Secretary of War ad interim ? Why did he not then go into the courts, forestalling the power of the people to try him by impeachment for this violation of the law, for this unlawful act, which, by the law of every country where the com- mon law obtains, carries the criminal fhtent with it, on its face, and which he cannot drive from the record by any false statement, nor swear from the record in any shape or form by any mere declaration of his own, Now, one word more and I have done with this matter, He tells General Thomas— they got their evidence in, and now they want to contradict that evi. ce too—after Mr. Stanton refused to ovcy Thomas’s orders, and after he ordered Thoinas to go to his own place and Thomas refused to obey his orders, he tells Thomas, I say, not that he was going into the courts, not that he should apply to the Attorney Gen- eral for a writ of quo warranto, there was no inti- mation of that sort; but there was a declaration of the accused to Lorenzo Thomas on the night of the 1st of February, after he had committed that crime against the laws and the constitution of his irs that Thomas should go on and take possession of his office and discharge his functions as Secretary of War ad interim. Senator Davis inquired of (he Chief Justice whether the question proposed by Senator Johuson had been fully answered ? The Cutkr Justice said it was impossible for him to reply to that question. ‘The witness only could reply to that, nator Davis asked that the questions of Senator Johnson be read. They were accordingty read. The Cuigr Justice ruled on the objection made to the question proposed by Mr. Stanbery that it was a matter entirely witht discretion of the Court, but that it was usual under such circumstances to allow counsel to continue the inquiry relating to the sume subject matter, ‘The questions and answers were read by the re- porter and then Mr. Stanvery’s question was put to the witness as foliows:—“Have you answered as to both occasions"? Witnhess—The question first asked me seemed to re- strict me so closely to the purpose that I endeav- ored to confine myself to that point alone. The first day, or the first interview, in which the President offered me the appolutment ad tnterim, he contined himself to general terms, and I gave him no definite answer, The second inaterv' on the afternoon of the 30th, as the question puts it, interview during which he made the point which I have testified to, and in speaking or referring to the constitutionality of the bill known as the Tenure of OMice act, it was the constitutionality of that bill which he seemed de- tfyn bee Bases byrceset when bend “It it oe rought before tue Supreme Court pro) it would not stand half an hour.” He aiso Spoke of force. I first said that if Mr. Stanton would simply retire, although it was against my interest, against my desire, against my personal wishes und my official -wis' ter shes, I might be willing to undertake to adminis- the office ad interim, Then he supposed thfat the int was qisicea, ana I made this polnt:—“Suppos- ing.

I gave the subject more reflection and ex him my dnal answer in writing. 1 think that iter (if you insist on Knowing my views) should come In evidence, and not parole testimony taken of it, But my reasons for declining the ot were mosily persopal in their nature. Senator HENDERSON submitted in writing the fol- Jowing question :—‘‘Did the President on either occa- sion alluded to express to you @ conviction, resolu- tion or determination to remove Mr. Stanton from his office?” Witness—If by removal is meant remoyal by force, he never conveyed to my mind such an impression; but he did most unmistakably say that he could have no more intercourse with him in the reiations of President and Secretary of War. Senator HowARD proposed the following question in writing:—“You say the President spoke of force. What did he say about force?” Witness—1 inquired, “Supposing Mr. Stanton does not yield, what then is to be done?’ “On,” said he, “there is no necessity of considering that question. On the presentation of an order he will retire.”’ Senator Howakp—Is ¥ at @ full auswer to the question? Witness—T think it Is. Senator? HENDERSON paw the following ques- tion in writing:—“Did you ay any opinion or advice to the President on either of the occasionsin reference to the legality of principle of an ad inte- rom appointment? aud if Bo, what advice did you give or What optnions did you express to him? Mr, BINGHAM—That we inast object to, Mr. BuTLek—That question has been overruled once to-day. . ‘The Cur eTICE put the question to the Senate, and the Senate refused to admit it. Mr. STANDERY stated that he hud no further ques- tions to ask the witness, t. BurLer remarked that he did not know that couneel for the President had anytiiag to do with the minatt ‘ ‘The Cw Justick asked the Managers whether they desired to cross-examine the Witness, ‘tre BINGHAM Said they did not at present desire to askghim auy questions, but they would probably call hin? to-morrow, General SticeMAN replied—I am summoned before your commities to-morrow. Mr. Evanrs insisted that the cross-examination should proceed beiore the witness was allowed to leave the stand. Mr. Binonam said—We do not propose to cross. examiue him at present. Mr, Evanrs insisted that the cross-examination shouid proceed. Mr, Bingham remarked that the counsel for the President had asked on Saturday for leave to recall the witness and that the Managers made no objec- tion, It was for the Senate to deiermine whether the Man: ‘ou do. jurt.) fers might call him to-morrow, M ARTS said—We have no desire to be re- strictive in these rules, bat we desire that the rales be equally strict on both sides, ‘The Chiee Justic® remarked that under the rules the witness should be cross-examined, but that it was a matter for the Senate to say whether they Would allow lila to be recalled by the Managers to- morrow. Mr, BUTLER sald this witness had not been cated now by the counsel for the President, and ther we do not cross-examine him. We take our own course in our way. MR. Ry J.

It has been very generally published that Congres will take @ recess of ten days about the time of the Chicago Convention. The matter has been talked of, but the proposition meets with ilttle favor in the Senate, and there is no prospect of that body con- curring in it. Doubtless so many members of the House will go to Chicago as to leave that branch without a quorum, and the Senate, which is always behind the House in business, will have a chance to catch up. The truth is that none of the big work of the session, such as the finances, the tax and the tariff, has yet been entered upon. Senator Sher- man has solemnly warned the majority in Co1 that they dare not go before the people in the next Presidential election without having devised some Seceptable em in regard to the finances and the public debt; and the question of internal taxation is one of scarcely less importance. Then the fight on the tariff will be more bitter than ever this year, The impeachment trial will probably iast this month pny that it will be the Ist of May beiove the regu- lar business can be resumed. Most of the large ap- propriation bill2 are yet to be acted upon. From this It will be readily seen that there ts plenty before Congress to keep it hard at work for three months to come Without taking recesses to attend political conventions.
