Teis believed that if the President be removed his @abinet will refuse to quit, on the ground that the fanagers knew this letter was to be latd_ before the President; butit was laid before him by one of the counsel in the Alta Vela case. Mr. HicBy inquired whether this letter was laid before the President at the instance of the Man- ers? bie “7 Brooks replied that was what they wanted to find out. He did not know what would be the course of the wajority of this House; but he wouid tell them that the people would not look upon the subject in a local view, but will see that the letter was laid before the President and they would judge of the motives. Mr. Hiany said it appeared from the gentleman's own statement that the letter was laid before the President by Chauncey F. Black. (Laughter on the republican side.) 2 1. BROOKS said the inference was that the letter was written for the purpose of being laid before the President. In all history of impeachment, in this or any other country, there never had before been ap exhibition of this kind, and hence he pronounced it extraordinary, Mr. MARSHALL, (dem.) of I1l., wished to make a brief statement, Mr. WASHBURNE, Of 11M, raised the question that the gentlemon from New York could not yield the been discovered by two Amei 8, Who, the posses- sion of it having been given to a New York SOMDANT, came to our government asking its protection, He had said on consultation that a ship should be sent thither to prevent the guano from being carried of till the question was settled in court. This was what he to:d the Attorney General, in whose office the question was dicussed in his presence. When his friend Colonel Shaffer, the friend cf Mr. Lincoln, asked him for his opinion, he gave it, in order that that gentleman, a8 Colonel Shaffer desired, might might dispose of his interest. If it was under- stood, the Colonel said, that the government would interiere, will you give me your ‘opinion asa lawyer? said, won't "you sit down and write it. He wrote it on a little bit of paper, there it 1s. J said that won’t do quite. 1 then took the piece of paper and scratched out some of the words. 1 directed it to be copied and signed it, with no expectation that the President would then be impeached.

But it should be borne in mind that no sane man acts without a motive. Colonel Shaffer was the leading counsel of citizens of Baltimore. He law suits, when he had personal differences with one of the parties, Perhaps he could give an instance interesting to the gentleman from New York.

That was a case in which he id not give an opinion; if he had, he should have abused somebody or been abused. (baugiites} Mr, Butler said that Judge Black did not know of the existence of the paper referred to until the President showed it, The President said he should be glad to issue the order for the protection of the discoverers of Alta Vela, but Mr. Seward would not let him, ‘Now,’ said the President, “if you get some members of Con:ress to stiffen “us up, and not complain of me _ to the House shall be ready to do it.” Mr. Black said he asked a few personal friends to sign the paper.

He says his retirement was not Prompted by anybody. He felt himseif forced morally to retire. The story that he gave the President his choice between his services aud the adjustment of the Alta Vela case is all faise. He only asked the President to do an act of justice. When he fonnd out Seward’s policy then his legal duty was at an end, &e, Mr. ELDRIDGE concluded his remarks. Mr. Brooks said he never entered into discussions with such men as Butler and Logan, Mr. BuTLEK—When I was in the service of the country «id you not accuse me of being a gold robber? Mr. Brooks replied that it was substantially estab- in the courts of New York, ursved him with fire and fury, The honorable gentleman uid never forgive him, because he Was the means of extorting from him through the Treasury Department the $60,000 in gold which had been taken m certain citizens tn New Orleans.

This gratify- tng result is owing to comparatively small expen- @itures by the government and the large from customs and internal revenue, there are two sides of it in litigation, He did not want to vol 0 take sides with the black party or the white party. It was for the majority of the House to protect its reputation. Mr. Brooks, resuiing the floor, further explained and aguin asked how came four of the Managers to be specially selected to sign this paper. How came the name of Thad Stevens to be signed to it—the ruler of this body, the autocrat, the dictator, the Jupiter ‘Tonans, not only of this body, but of the republicans of the country, Who sought to overawe not o1 the Supreme Court but the Senate of the United States. He wished the gentleman would avail himself of the opportunity to answer for himself. Mr. Brooks de- manded the question on his resolution, which the House refused to order. Ayes, 24; nays, 75. Mr. LOGAN, (rep.) of Pa., did not want it under- stood tha he rose to apologize for anything that he had done, He had done nothing that he would not do again, If the gentleman from New York was serious, if he was honest, if the member from New York was a gentleman, then he would say to him he (Brooks) would not oifer is resoltu- tion if he understood the facts as he professed.

Judge Gilbert in his charge to the jury remarked that the case waa one of considerable magnitude. He then adverted to the relationship of the plaintif® and defendants, and the business between them, which had been ,pleasant and until the summer “of 1866, At the defendants had in their possession 100 shares of Phenix, 100 shares of Western Union and some of Adams stocks belonging to the plaintiff. These he claimed they hypothecated and used for their own parpose, If it wes a custom among brokers todo 80 then they had a right to doit, but if Mr. Fincke had no knowledge of the existence of such a custom then he was not bound by it, and the defen- dants were liable. He said, however, that he never gave them any such authority, The plaintit gave them instructions to sell these stocks when they could realize a profit of two per cent. This the | defendants denied, and the point was whether these instructions had been given. It was shown by the plaintiff that these stocks did advance two er cent, and the departure from his instruc- ‘ions to sell rendered them liable: but if they could not carry out the instructions then there was no breach of contract. If they found a verdict for the plaintiff, the value of stocks left in the hands of the defendants by plaintiff—one hundred shares of Pheenix and one hundred shares of Western Union—would amount to $12,650, and, that would be the measure of damages. The addi- tion of two per cent advance would give him $13,007 49. ‘The jury, after being out about an hour, returned into the court and said it was impossible for them to find a verdict as they could not reconcile the veracity of the ih ronan They were further instructed by the Judge, when they again retired. At half-past six o’elock the court was adjourned, the judge sending word to the jury to bring in a sealed verdict this morning. NEW JERSEY. A CHILD BURIED ALIVE IN A SAND BANK.—At seven o’clock last evening some children were play- ing at the rear of a tenement building in Erie street, near North Fourth, Jersey City, when a loose bank of sand caved in and buried under it a little boy two ears old, son of a shoemaker named Thomas U’ Neill. three men set to work vigorously, and scarcely four minutes had elapsed when the earth to the depth of four feet was shovelled away and the head of the child appeared. When taken out he was almost completely suffocated and was quite insensible. By degrees, how ever, he regained consciousness, and is considered out of danger. A BREWERY BURNED Down aT NortTH BERGEN.— About half-past nine o’clock on Thursday night a fire broke out in the lager beer brewery of the New Jer- sey Beer Company, at North Bergen, and the bulld- ing, with its contents, was entirely destroyed. As there is no fire apparatus in the neighborhood nothing could be saved. The loss is estimated at $35,000, upon which there is an insurance of $18,000, MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A YOUTH WITH $1,200.—On Tuesday last a lad about seventeen years old, in the employ of Mr. James R. Sayre (not Marcus Sayre, as has been stated), » lumber dealer near the Centre street depot, Newark, was sent to the Newark Savings Bank to cash a check for $1,200, He did so, but failed to retura. After waiting in vain for a rea- sonable time Mr, Sayre, who is the youth’s uncle, at once set inquiries on toot among the missing lad’s playmates and acquaintances, but could not di ver the remotest clue to his whereabouts, The matter has since been placed in the hands of aetective Brandt.
