10 . ees ei IMPEACHMENT. CONTINUED FROM THIRD PAGE, ‘the President, any directions or suggestions as to the course to be taken by you as counse: in that case ? ‘Mr. BUTLER (to Mr. Curtis)}—Do you ask now for the conversations ¢ Mr. CuRTIS—I ask for directions to this gentieman, do not care how far they go. Mr. BuTLER—I think, sir, these conversations can- not be putin, This is not the employing and send- ing there of his counsel to do anything, but giving dire to how General Thomas’ counsel are to bas CurTis—!_ suppose it depends upon what was said. Might amount to verbal acis, as they are called in the books. If these gentlemen so received and upon them I suppose they then passed out of the e of deciarations. The question is whether he received directions and suggestions from the President or the Attorney General. Mr. BuTLER—The dificulty is this: It is not the mere question of the duterence between acts and declarations, although declarations make it one de- gree further of, My proposition is that the Presi- Ws acts in giving directions to General ‘Thomas’ counsel to defend General Thomas, that coun: employed by the President, cannot be e' whether acts or declarations, Mr, Evakts—It does not follow that these instruc- tons were to defend General Thomas, ‘The first in- quiry is that the instructions were to make investi- ons; that this proceeding being such as could be en on behalf of the President you cannot anticipate what the answer may be. An oifer to sow that the Attorney General, in the presence of the President, ag soon ag the report of the situation of this case of General Thomas Was made, gave certain instructions to this gentieman of the profession in reference to graiung apen that case the act of liaving a habeas corpus. Mr. BUTLER—I do not propose to argue it; the statement of it is enou The President has no right to direct General Thomas’ lawyer, then, to direct me, and theeupon they do hot offer the @eclarations of the President, but they offer the declarations of the President's lawyer, Attorney Genera) Sianbery, now his counsel, to put into the case. There is no fact in ether Uhat can do them any good in that way, The offer of evidence was reduced to writing, as foliows:—"We oter to prove that at the hour of twelve o'clock noon on te 224 of February, on the first communication with the President as to the situation of Generai Thomas? ¢ the President, or the Attorney General in bis presence, gave the Wit: hess certain divections as to obtaining a writ of haveas Corpus for the purpose of tesiing yudictaliy the right of Mr. Stanton io continue to hod the office of Secretary of War against ie authority of the Prestdent.’” The CuizF Justice decided that the proof was aa- Missdie within the raie adopted by the Senate, but said that he would put the question to the Senate if any Senator desired it, No vote being called for the examination was re. sumed, Mr. CuRTIS—The question is whether the Presi- dent, or the Attorney General in bis presence, gave you any instructions in reference to the proceedings to obtain a writ of habeas corpus to test te mght of Mr, Stanton to hoid the ofice of Secretary of War contrary to the wil of the President, Witness—The Attorney General, on learning from me Lie situation of the case, asked Uf it was poss.ble dn any way to get it into the Supreme Court immedi- ately; | told Lita L Was bot prepared to auswer that quesiion; he ten said, “Look at it and see whether OF not you can take it up to the Supreme Court im- mediately ou had: corpus, and have a decision of ‘bat tribiinal,” and i told bin | would. Q. Subsequent to that me did you come into com- Munication with any gentleman acting as counsel for the President tm relauon to that matter? A. 1 examined the question as requested by Ue Attorney General, and on the ing or afiernoon of the 22d, and | think within or Uuree hours after | had seen him, I wrote Lim a note— Mr. BUTLER—We object Lo the contents of the note ap giving evidence. Mr. Curtis (to the witness)—Stating the result ? Witness—Stating the result of that examination? Mr. BUrLER—Wuatever is in ue vole you must pot ‘phate, Mr. Curtis (to the witness)—You wrote him a note Nn that subject? Witness—I wrote him a note on that subject the fol- Jowing Monday or Tuesday-—this being Saturday. {met Mr. Cox, who was tle counsel of the F lent, as Pun. derstood, and in consultation with him f communi- eated to him the conclusion I had arrived atin ie oourse of my examination the Saturday previous, and, we having come to the same conclusion, agreed ‘bo conduct the case togetier in harmony, witha view to accomplishing the contemplated result of taking it to the Supreme Court by a writ of habeas corpus. Q. State now aliything which you and Mr. Cox did Sor the purpose of accomplishing that resuit? A. Having formed our plan of proceeding we went into court, on which, according to the bond, General Taomas was to appear before Judge Cartier, in cham. bers, ‘That was, f Wank, on Wednesday, the 26th, if Jam not mistaken, Can t state what transpired ¢ Mr. CURTIs—Yes, So far as your acts. Mr. BUTLER—I respectfuliy submit once again, Mr. President, that the acts of Genera! Thomas’ counsel, ander the direction of the Attorney General, after the President was impeached, cannot be put in evidence, Witness—Will you allow me to make a correction? Mr. CorTIs—Certainly. Witness—You asked when next T came in contact ‘with anyone representing Ue President. T should have stated that on Tuesday night, by appointment, 1 hadi an interview with the President on the subject Of tis case and of the proceedmygs to be taken on the following day Mr. BoTLER—I do not see that that aliers the ques- tion, which | request may be reduced to writing before Jargue it, because I have argued one or two que: bons to-day and then found other questions put in their place. The CuieF Justice—Counsel will please reduce the Question to writing. ‘The question, being reduced to writing, was read as follows {, if anything, did you and mr. Cox do in relation to accomplishing Whe result you have #poken o/” Mr. BuTLER—Does that inclade what was doue in @ourt? Mr. CurTis—It includes what was done before Chief Justice Carttes The Cuier Justice—The Chief Justice thinks it competent, but he will put it to the Senate if any Senator desires tt. No vote having been called for the question was allowed to be pul Lo the witness. Witness—To answer that question it is necessary A should state what transpired before the judge in Chambers and tn court on Wednesday, wien all we @id was done to accomplish that purpose. We went Anto the room in the Ciiy Hall to which the Criminal Court held its session to the Morning. — Chief Justice Cartter was then boiding the term of the Criminal and the Criminal Court was regulariy ad- fourned. After some business of the Criminal Court as discharged the Chief Justice announced that Be was ready to hear the case of Gene- val Thomas, The question was then suggested ‘Whether it should be heard tn chambers or beiore the @ourt. The Chief Justice said he would hear it as in ehambers, the crimina| Court pow having been ad- fourned, ‘Lhe case was therefore calied up. The Counsel appearing for Mr. Stanton, or for the govera- Ament (Messrs. Carpenter and Riddel), moved that the case be conunued, of postponed Ull ihe following day, ou tie rounds of the absence of one or two of $he witnesses, I Ciink, and on the additional plea of Mr. Carpenter's indisposition. To that motion, after @consultation with my associates, Mr, Cox and Mr. dosepli H. Bradley, who appeared as advisory coun- sel for Geacral Thowas, 1 rose and objected toa postponement, stating that | was constraimed to ebect, DotWitistanding the plea of personal imdls- position to which | aiways yicided, and that Lob- cted now for the reason that (his was a case Involy- @ question of great public tuierest and which the Barmouious achou of the government rendered ne- @essary to be speudily determined. 1 elaborated that View, and Nr. Carpenter rephed, represeutiag (iat Shere could be no deiritaent to the pubic serv and be expressly urged the court for a pos ment. The Chief Justice thereupon remark think, that it w first time he knew a case’ in which te plea of personal indisp: Was Hot acce to by tie other sy generally sumMcient, and be went on to remark @0 the inotion furtier, masmuch that 1 conciuded that he would continue the case until the following day. AS S00 as We Saw (hat be Would contiau cape we brought forward 4 moto Uiat it bet n of counsel 3 that itv adjourned irom the Chief Justi bers to tie Chief Justice holding the Crimi t. That argued by counsel and ives by U Judge at Chambers, not im court, We tien subuit- ted bo tie Judge — Mr. BUTLER (interposing)—Mr. President, 1 wish simply to be understood, so that Lmay clear wy skirts of the matier, Waal this ail comes ta Uuder our objec Sons and under the ruling of Ue presiding officer, ‘dhe Cutke Justice (with severe dignity in his tone)—[t comes in woder the direcuon of tie Seaate @f the United states. (fo the witness) Pro sir. Witness—We then announced to the Judge that General Thomas’ bull had surrendered him, or that be was i the custody of the Marshal, and the Mar- shal was advancing towards him at the time. I twink that Mr. Bradley or Mr. Cox handed ime, Whe ou my feetand while | was making this an- nouncement, the petition for the habeas cor. pus, which’ T then presented to the Criminal Oourt, which, having opened in the morning, had not yet adjourned, and = over which the Chief Justice was presiding. I presented the pe- tition for the iabeas corpus to the criminal court, fepresenting that General Thomas was in the custody NEW YORK WERALD, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1868—TRIPLE tice replied that tn view of the statement of counsel he would peither put him in custody nor demand bond for his appearance. He was himself that there was no necessity for pursuing either course. We then remarked that if General Thoinas was not in custody nor under bond he was dis- charged; and I think some one stated “He is dis- charged.” ‘Thereupon, in order that there should be a decision in reference to the alternative presented of his being placed in eustody or discharged on the record, we Moved his discharge in order to bring up the question officially of his commitwent. He was thereupon diseharged, Mr. Cortis—I believe that is all we desire to ask this witness. Croge-examined by Mr. BUTLER:— Q. Were you counsel for Surratt? A, 1 was. Q. Was Mr. Cox? A, He was not, Q. Was Mr. Bradley, who was advising counsel in these proceedings* Ai He was. Q. When you got to the Executive Mansion that morning you say General Thomas was not there?

Did you not learn that General Thomas was then over at the War Department? A. I do not recol- lect that I did, and [ think I did not. Q. Did you learn when he returned that he had been there? A, 1 do not recollect, Mr. BUTLER—I will not tax your want of recollec- tion any further. (Laaghter,) TESTIMONY OF E, 0. PERRIN, Edwin 0, Perrin was next sworn and examined by Mr. EvarTs, Q. Where do you reside? A. I reside on Long Island, near Jamaica. Q, How long have you been a resident of that re- gion? A, Ihave been a resident of Long Island over ten years, Q.

BUTLAR (ipterrupting)—1 pray judgment, Mr. Evarts—This 13 simply introductory—nothing material. Witness—Mr, Selye said that while he knew the President he never had been formally presented to him, and understanding that | was a friend of the President and well acquaiated with him, he asked me if i wou.d not go up with him to the President's and then introduce hin. Q. When did this occur? beiore. qy. And your visit, then, on the 21st was on this ap- polntment? -A, I made the appoinument for the next day. I iaformed Mr. Seeiye Uiat it was Cabinet day, and that it was of no use to go ualil afier Wwoo'elock. We probably would not be permitted to enter, and he appointed two o'clock, at his room, in Twelfih street, to meet him for that purpose, Q. You went thee? A. I went to Mr. Seelye’s room. He called a carriage, and we drove to the Presidents house a litue alter two o'clock. Q. bid you have any diniculty in getting in? A, We had. Mr. Cushing, the usher at the door, wheo Thauded him Mr. Seelye’s card and mine, sala that the President bad some of his Cabinet with him yet, and that no one would be aduutted, 1 told hin that 1 wished him to go in and say to the President, or to Colonel Moore, With my compliments— Mr, BUTLER interrupted tue witness. x AnIs—Was the fact that Mr. Seelye was member of Congress mentioned?

Without reference to any other conversation that occurred between you and the President, or ve- tween Mr, Seelye and you and the President, | come to what I suppose to be periincat to this case fore tuts Lime had you heard tat any order for ihe removal of Mr, Staion had beeo made? A, I had heard nothing of it Q. liad Mr. Seelye heard of it so far as you know? A. So far as T know he had not. Ifound ‘him lying down When | got lo his room at two o'clock. Q. Did he then bear from the President of the re- aloft Mr. Stanton? Mr, BUTLER—I object to the statement of the Presi- dent to Unis Witness, or to Mr. Seelye, or to anybody else, Lf his declaratious made to all the persons in the country are io be given in evidence there would be no end to Wis case, everybody Would be brought here, abd Where are We to slop? Af there 1s to be any Stop itis now, Mr. Evants—The evidence is proper. The time to consider about te public interest was when the trial was commenced, Of course it would be more convenient to stop the case at the end of the prosecu- uiou. It would save the tume of the country. Mr. Bote ‘The queation ts simply what was said between the President and Mr. Seelye aud Mr. Verrin. Ihave the honor to Dyect to It. Mr. EvVarts—! am reducing the question to form. The offer of proof being reduced to writing and handed over to Mr, Butler for ius examinauou, was read by the Clerk as follow “We offer to prove Unat the President then stated that he had issued an order for the removal of Mr. Stanton and te er- ployment of General Thomas to perform the dues ad vuerion; that thereapon Mr. Pern said, *Sup- posing Mr. Stanton shall oppose the order,” and we President repited, * There is no danger of’ that, for Geveral Thomas 4s already i the ouice.’ He added, “itis only a lemporary arrangement; 1 stati send into the Senate at once a good name for the omice.””” Mr. BUTLER objected. He said that this was mere Darration—mMere staiement of What the President had done aud what he intended to vo. That it never was evmdence aud Lever Would be evidence in any organ- ized court, He did not see whe: ny limit was to be put if such testimony were received. If Mr. Perrin, who had been Neretofore on the stump, could go to the President and ask questions and be answered, and then come to give evidence of is conversauon with the President, Wiy Could Dot everyboay else do so* If Mr. Seeiye could go there why could not everybody else gu? Could not the President make declarations to every man; ay, and every woman Wwo—(laugiter)—of what be intended todo and what he had dove, and bring them in here to testify and so instruct the senate of the United states in iis duty as # High Court of Impeachment? Mr. EVARTS said lie Was not aware that the credit Of the testimony Was at al affected by the fact that Mr. Perrine had been engaged in poutics, por did he Suppose that that fact Weald assist tae’ court im deterimming What was evidence. ‘Tie question w whether the declaration at that time and under these circumstances of the Presideat’s titent, and what le had doue, Was proper to be given im evidence. It would be observed that this was an interview be- tween tue President and a member of Congress—one A. On the 20th, the day A. We were up We were tn the ante- m of the grand inquests of the nation, That at that hour the President supposed, from the statement of Geperai Thomas, — that Mr. Stanton was ready to leave the oifice, only de- siring time to accomm date uis private occasions, and (iat the President stated to those gentleme he had removed Mr, Stanton and appointed Ge: Thomas ad ieerun, Which Was teir first inte: geace of its oceurrence. As to the motion and pur- pose Gien entertained by the President this conversa. d show that the President was not intending, i by the Manager, to place a slave ora War Department to the detriment of the pubic 1, but, on the contrary, that the ap- poimtineat of General Thomas Was a mere temporary arrangemien’, and that he should at once send ina geod uae to tue Senate, This bore upon the ques- en of purpose, aud the fact had been aiready shown Ulta nomination for the office of Secretary of War Was seu to the Senate on the following day before Wits: one of the Managers, objected to the HHCe Gs Leg Outside Ofany former ruling of the Senae. and as being periectly within the rule laid dowa in tie Hurdy case, and to which he called the attention of We Senate. If this oer of proof id not come porte tly within the rule in that case then he never inet with a case in all lia experience Wiucl caine Wit it. He would leave the objection on That point to the decision of the Senate, Mr. Evanrs argucd forthe admission of the evi- deuce. He alinitted that the question now proposed Was bot eulircly governed by any ruling of the Senate, because there Were circumstances attending the first otter of evidence Wich were not precisely repro- duced here; but Senators Would observe that before the controversy, and at a time when the President's Opiniod Was Liat ticre would be no coutroveray, he had made this statement in the course of this inter course With & ociuber of Congress—thus introduced to hiit—couceruing his public action, ‘The evidence had @ bearing also upon the question whether the President was using or justifying force, It had also oi tie Mu !, and Lasked that I should be heard. Mr. BUTLER ‘as that petition in writing? Withess—That peuidion was in writing, 1 believe. J said it Was handed to me by one of my associates, and if ny recollection serves ine right, 1 have seen the petition since and it Was not signed when handed tome. General Thomas and Mr. bradley were sitting ymmediately benind me. T[ laid it down and it was takes i, some of the reporters and was pot re- gauned for half an hour, Mr. CunTis—Afier you liad read it what occurred ¢ Witness—After I read it @ discussion arose on the propriety of the petition and the legality of the tine of its presentation; counsel on the other side contended tial (eucral Thomas Was not in custody and that it ‘Wasa “)cuarkable case (I remember that expression of Mr. Carpenter's) for the accused to fusist upon put- Log Hiuself in custody we contended that he was in custody and that he did not propose to put himself in custody; connsel on te yaher she blated that they desired neither that be whould be putin cusiody mor that ue give bonds; be @uuse Wiey Were certain, irom Ws Character and po- siuon, that he Would be prosent to answer any charge foal wigat Oe brovet agawer dim. Tue Obiel Jus @ bearing Upon the fact that the next day the Presi+ dent actually did send in the name of NK Ewing, of Uluo, for the piace OF Secretary of War. : Mr. BUTLER said that there were one or two new facts upoo Which this evidence was pressed, the first aud most waterial being tuat the conversation had occurred before any coutroversy had arisen between the President and Mr. Stantou. If that were 80, then there might be some color or shadow of a claim to adit this evidence, But had there not been a controversy going on? Had not the President known toe ‘Senate had fe: stored Mr Stanton? Had not the President tried to put Mr. Stanton out and had not the Senate put him back? Had not the President been then be- seiging General Sherman to take theotice months before? And yet the President's counsel were at- tempting to put tus evidence before the Scnate because it was the President's deciaration made before any controversy arose oF Was likely to arine, Another proposition Was that it might be evidence because 1b Was sald Lo a member of Congress, lie Was aware that members of Congress liad righta and privileges belonging to their position, but he 1: bever Was uware before that one of those rights was that what was said to members was evidence. There were a good inaay things said to hia which he should be very ‘unwiding to have admiited as evidence. For @ declaration had been sent to him today, “Come prepared to meet your God.” (Laughter.) ‘The avenger is on your track. Hell is your portion! (Continuous jaughter.) He trusted that that was not evidence be- cause it Was said to aimember of Congress (laugh- ter); and yet it was just as pertinent and justas com- potent as the evidence here proposed. He did not mean by any remark before to suggest that the it of the declaration made to @ gentleman who had been on the stump made out more or ess incompetent, He had only meant to say that the evidence was utterly outside of the case. He objected to it, fore- seeing what might come quite as properly, ait. He foresaw that some of the lady friends of the Presl- dent—he begged pardon, he meant some of the wo- men friends—might go to the White House and be told by the President what his purpose was and then come and testify to it here, which would be just as Hors Angee, in his judgment, as what was now ercd, Mr. EVARTS made a few remarks in support of the Offer of testumony. f The Cuigr Justice said—Senators, the Chief Jus- tice is unable to determine the precise extent to which the Senate applies its own decision, He has Understood the decision to be that evidence may be given for the purpose of showing the conversations of the President at or near the time of the transac- tion. It is said that this evidence is distinguishable from that just introduced. ‘The Chief Justice is not able to distinguish it, and will submit the question to the Senate whether the testimony shall be admitted, The vote of the Senate was taken and resulted yeas 9, nays 37, as follows:— YKAG,—Senators Bayard, Buckalew, Davis, Dixon, Doolit- tle, Hendricks. MeCreery, Patterson of Tenn,,and Vickers—9 "Kave.-Senatora Cameron, Cattell, Chandler. Conkling, Conwess, Corbett, Cragin, Drake, Ferry, Fessencien, Fowler, Frelinghuysen, Grimes, Harlan, Howard, Howe, Johnson, Morgat, Morrill of Me., Morrill Of Vt., Morton, Nye, Patter= son of N. H., Sherman, Sprague, Pomeroy, Ramsey, Ross, Stewart, Thayer, Tipton, Trumbull, Van Name n, and Yates—27, So the evidence was overruled, Mr. Evarrs then said—This evidence having been exciuded, We have no other question to ask Lie wit- ness. Mr. BUTLER said they did not wish to cross-ex- amine him. Mr. Evarts then submitted that the counsel had reached @ point where the Senate ight con- veniently adjourn, a8 they would have no other wit- ness to-day. Mr. BUTLER opposed the adjournment, and asked that counsel for the President be called to go on with the case, He had only to apply to them the argu- ment of Mr. Merrick in the case before Chief Justice Cartter, that although it was always an ungracious thing to obicct to postponement on account of the sickness of the counsel, still, as the case involved matters of so much public interest, it should not be postponed on that account. On that point he would say, “I thank thee, Jew, for teaching me that word.” Mr. Thomas could not wait on account of the sickness of @ counsel, and so the Managers could nob now wait on account of tie sickness of the Attorney General. Why should they ? Why should not this President be called upon to gO on with his case? ‘There had been thirty-three wors- ing days since the President was required to file his answer. The Managers had used six of these; te counsel for the President had used a portion of six, the other twenty-one having been given to delays. The legislation of the country was standing stil. ‘The House of Representatives were here at the bar of the Senate day after day. The appropriations for carrying on the government could not be passed be- se this trial was in the way. Nothing could be nd the whole country was waiting for its cluse. Far be it from him to desire not to have his friend, the Attorney General, here; but public in- terests are greater than the interests of any mdivid- ual, Three hundred thousand men had laid down their hives in the war, and Were they to stop for te sickness of one Many He had in his hand testunony of what was going on tins day and this hour in te South. Mr. CURTIS (jocularly)—We object to the introduc- tion of that testimony, Mr. Evakrs in the same temper challenged its relevancy. Mr. BUTLER said that its relevancy was this:. while they were waiting for the Attorney Gene get well a number of their feliow citizeus were being uiurdered in the South, and there Was not a man 1a the Senate Chamber wio did not Know that the mo- ment justice was done on tits great criminal these murders would cease. (Stamping of feetin tue gal- keries and attempted maniiestations of applause, wich were suppressed.) That was the way things stood here, and te were beng asked by every true man of the country why they sat here idle. In Alabama a Kegister 10 Baukruptey was ny driven from his du. ties and” his hom py the Ku Kiax Klan— (iaughter)—and the evidence of that laid upon his tabie, Should they, then, detay longer i ius cas: kKoowing their ponsibilities to ther countrymen, to their cousctences and to their God? The true Union men of the country were being murdered, Hon the skiris of Cong! their blood was if Un mained Jonger idle, He also reminded Senators that since the zoth of February last ten millions of gold had been sold out of the ‘Treasury at a sacrifice, and $12,000 paid in Comraissions to a man Whom the senate had rejused to continue in ofice, This goid was sold at none anda half to two per ceut lower than the ket rates, More than that, he had from the same sources the fact that there had been bought in te city of New York since the trial had begun United ates bonds to the amount of $27,055,100 at from one-half to five-eightus and three-fourths above the ket rates, Some SENATOR remarked in an undertone that he meant below the market rates. Mr. BUTLER repeated that it was above the market prices, He knew what he said, and never was mis- taken. (Laughter.) He demanded saiety for te finances of the people, for the progress of jegisia- tion, for the safety of the true and loyal men the South who had perilled their lives for four years, for the good of the country, forall tuat was déar to any patiiol that no further delay should be allowed, but that the case should be brought to a decision. If the President of the United States were to go free and unwuipped of justice, then they might as well have that state of facts; but if he was gulity, as the House of Representatives charged, and if le was an ot "Winkie, Willey, Wil “straction to the peace of the country, then tat ob- struction should be removed, and all the murders and corruptions would cease. In the name of Heaven, said he, let us have an end of this, and say today that we sit at least four hours a day and atiend to this great business of the people. He called the attention of the Senate to one of the great State trials in England, where the court sat from nine o'clock im the morn- ing until one o'clock at night, and where the court refused Lord Erskine to meet ane hour later in the morning in order Wat he might have a caance for prepariay his summing up, doing which occupied nine hours, That was the way that cases of great consequence were tried in England. He was not complaining of the Senate, but was merely contrasting the deiays in tus case. The Managers had been ready at ali hazards, and only askedow that the counsei for the President should be ready and go on instead of having these intermin- able deiays. He reminded the Senate also of the threat made by Mr. Brooks, in the House of Repre- sentatives, that if the impeactiment was carried into the Senate they would require all foriis to be observed and would keep it going on until the end of Mr. Jonnson’s term. He appeaied to Senators not to allow that threat to be carried out as it had been attempted to be carried out by these continued delays. He never opened his mails in the morning Without taking up some case of murder in the South—of the murder of men whom he had known as standing by the aide of the Union, and whour he now heard of as jayig their coid graves. It was the feeliig for the loss of irtends aud for the loss of those who stood by their country that perhaps stirred his heart very inuch, so that he Was not ubie with the coolness: With which judicial proceedings suvuid be characters ized to address the Senate on tis subject. He would suy nothing of the dally and Hourly threats made against the Managers and against every great ofticer of the Senate; ie should say uotuing of that, as they were alisafe. ‘There Was au old scowl proverd i teir favor, “a threatened dog lives te longest.” He had not the slighest fear ou tial i and uese Uireats ahd these uuseemiy liveis on thelr form of government Would ail go away when tat Le (meaning Mr. Jovuson) went our of the White Ouse. Seuator CONKLING offered the following order: Ordered, Toat aay hereatter ihe sen Court of Ainpeachment, shall meet at eleven v'cloe Senator SUMN&R Offered ihe following stitute: — Ordered, That considering the public interests which suffer as a sub: fm the devay Of this (tal, and 10 pursiwnce of bie order ale Feasy Lo proceed with all ¢ vient despatch, the Seaate will #iL (fom ten o'clock tn the forenoon watil sik o'clock 4 tho aiternoon, with such brief Fecesé as may be orde Senator TRUMBULL inquired from 41 whetier those motions were in order ‘The CulkF JUSTICE replied thal they were not if any Senator olyected. Seuator TAUMBULL—T object.

THE STATE CAPITAL. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Final Passage of the Central Underground Railroad Bill—Prospective Passage of the Arcade Bil by the Log Rolling Proceas=The Hell Gate Pilot Bill Finally Passed—Pro- posed Remuneration ot the Fire Department for Past Services—The Spat Between the Governor and the Senate. ALBANY, April 16, 1868, At noon to-day the Assembly went into Committee of the Whole on the special order—the Central or Brown Underground Railroad Dill, The Dill was read through, the committee rose and reported progress, the report was disa- greed to and the bill ordered to a third reading. In the House the rules were suspended and the bill put upon its final passage, when it received an almost unanimous vote. The whole thing had been excellently managed. All attempts at debate and amendment were choked off and the bill, just as it came from the Senate, was rushed to its third read- ing and passage. ‘The Arcadians in the Assembly had withdrawn all obstacles to its success, so that we may look for the reciprocation of the favor in the Senate in a few days and the final passage of the Arcade bill by the withdrawal of the Central one: tion in the upper branch of the Legistature, If 80, the “log rolling” on both sides will have been emi- nently successful. The original Broadway Tunnel Dill, or surface dummy, as it should more properly be termed, has disappeared and its corporators have joined the ranks of the Centralians and Arcadians. FINAL PASSAGE OF THE HELL GATE PILOT LAW AMENDMENTS, The bill to amend the Hell Gate Pilot laws and vir- tually to abolish the business of the pilots who exer- cise their profession in the channel between Manhat- tan Island and Long Island Sound passed the House to-day and was signed by the Governor. The follow- ing is the text of the bill in full:— An act to amend chapter 115 of the Laws of 1865, entitled “An act concerning the pilots of the channel of the East river, commonly called Hell ate,” passed April 15, 1847, agamended by act passed March 12, 1880, and again by act passed March Trhe people of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:— SECTION 1. Section seven of the act concerning pilots of the channel of tive Eastiriver, commonly called Hell ate, passed April 15, 1847, as amended by act passed March 14, 1560, is hereby amended so as to read as follows: — 'Sro.7. In case any vessel navigating the channel of the Enst river, commoniy called Heil Gate, shall make the usual signal for'a pilot, and after making such signal shail refuse to receive on board or employ any such pilot who shall first uffer his services after such signal is given, then, a1 case, the master, owner or consignee or such vessel shall pay to such Hell Gate pilot half pilotage from the place or point where such pilot offered his services; and any pilot who shall pilot any government vessel through the said channel shail be entitled to receive the same compunsation therefor as ‘a now provided by Inw for like services In piloting auch ves- el to or from the port of New York by the way of Sandy jook. SEC. 2 Section 9 of said act, as amended by acts passed March 12, 1880, and March 14, 1885, ia hereby whoily repealed. Sze, 8.’ his act shail take etfect immediately. THE ERIE QUESTION ; again occupied the Senate to-day. The debate will be found below in the record of proceedings. The deadlock between the Governor and Senate stil continues, Last week the Governor sent in very few nominations on the ground that there were then a number on the Senate table unacted upon, To-day tie Senate returned the compliment by continuing to refuse to confirm. The nomination of S. M, Harlow to be Harbor Master for New York Was Withdrawn in Executive Session of the Senate to-day. NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. SENATE. \ ALBANY, April 16, 1868, BILLS PASSED.

THE ERIE RAILROAD BILL. The ee else te of the Erie Ratiway bill was re- sumed. Mr. Pierce’s amendment, requiring the assent of two-thirds of the stockholders to ratify any action of the company for the extension of the Broad Guage route was lost—12 to 14, ‘The question then recurred on the amendment of Mr. Chapman to legalize the guarantee by the Et Company of the bonds or coupons of any other rail- Way necessary to the formation of a continuous line of communication between Chicago and New York, the same to apply to future contracts. ® Only Messrs. Creamer and Hale opposed the mo- jon. A discussion arose, and pending the amendment the Senate went into executive session. On the doors. being opened the Senate took a recess until four P.M. No important nominations were contirmed in executive session, Afternoon Session. ROTEST AGAINST CONVICT LABORR. Mr. TWEED presented @ remonstrance signed by over three thousand pripters—empioyés and pub- Ashers—against employing convict labor upon print- ing, stereotyping and electrotyping.

THE ERI RAILROAD BILL. The consideratioa of the Erie Railway bill was then resumed. The pending question was apon the substi- tate of Mr. Chapman, legalizing the guaranteeing by the Erie Railway Coimpany of the bonds and coupons of any railroads necessary to secure a continuous broad gauge line from Chicago to New York. ‘i BRADLEY conunucd his argument against the Mr. MonGAN supported the bill, not because he be- lieved there were any honest stockholders on either side, but for reason that he saw in the attitude of those on the other hand an attempt to bring about the consolidation of the Erie, Central, Hudson and Harlem Raliroads into the hands of one gigantic overshadowing corporation, to the great detriment of our commerce, by destroying the competition in the carrylug trade. Messrs, BaAcH and VAN PETTEN also advocated the bill. Mr. CrowLey opposed it, charging that the ten millions were illegaily issued; that the stock arising therefrom by whomsoever held has not the least mark of validity upon it, and that the Court of Ap- peals will so decide shouid the question ever be pre- ted to it. He contended that the issue was made in direct opposition to the ninth section of the General Raliroad law, because the issue Was in excess of the tegal capital stock of the org! and in 1s65 the Court of Appeals decided in the Schuyler case that such excess caunot constilute any part of tue fixed capital stock. ir, FOLGER said the Erie Railway has no fixed capital siock, and therein lies the facacy of the Senator's argument. Mr. Crow Ley replied that the general jaw requires nto have a fixed capital, and, in his judgment, the ten millions is spurious stock, and the ‘courts Will so declare it, He proceeded to object to the second section because it proposes to interfere with the litigation now pending. Heiore he closed the Senate adjourned until to-morrow morning.
