versal enthusiasm prevailed throughout the alternoeon, HISTORY OF THE IMPEACHMENT. ‘The contest of the President with Congress had been waged with great bitterness for nearly two years, and after the fall elections of 1866 the tri- umph of the republicans emboldened the leaders of the party to carry out with undisguised boldness the measures they had resolved upon. The bill placing the ten ex-rebel States under military rule and fore- ing tniversal negro suffrage upon them had not yet been passed, but it and other measures which have since become law had been decided upon. The only obstacle to the entire success of the radical policy was Mr. Johuson, but he, by simply contenting him- self with vetoing such bills as did mot meet his ap- proval, had given his opponents no opportunity to compass his removal, To every radical. representa- tive the President was obnoxious, and all would have been glad to see him deprived of his office: but it was not known if a solid party vote could be relied upon to override a veto and carry through @ measure (aegro sumrage), which was not only unpopular among the people of the Northern States, but which Many believed was so glaring a violation of the con- stitution that enough republican Gongressmen would be found who would shrink from giving it thelr sup- Port to prevent its success.

Had these been favorabie to their party, or had Ohio, Penn- sylvania and New York stood firm, the report of the committee would have been adopted by a large ma- jority. But this was not so, and giving way to their fears, they rejected the entire report. THE SECOND ATTEMPT AND FAILURE. The extreme faction in the House ef Representa- tives, headed by Mr. Thaddens Stevens, were batfied, but mot dispirited nor hopeless of final success. Seve- ralhills which had previously been passed over Mr. Jonnson’s vetoes were regarded as containing restric- tions upon the Executive prerogatives which would inevitably result in the President doing some act wards plainly showed. But be that as it may, a movement was inaugurated looking to his impeach- and on the 7th day of January, 1867, Mr. James M. Ashley, of Ohio, rose to a question of privi- lege, and with a ludicrous effort to imitate the action and language of Burke in his celebrated speech im- peaching Warren Hastings said, after a few pre- liminary remarks:— 1 do impeach Andrew Johnson, Vice President and Acting President of the United States, of high crimes an(l misdemeanors, I charge him with a usurpation of power and viola- tion of law; tm that he has corruptly used the appointieg wer: In that he has corruptly used the pardoning power; In that le has corrupt'y used-the voto power; In that he has corruptly disposed of public pro- perty of the United States; In that he has corruptly interfered in elections and committed acts which, in contemplation of the con- ——* are high crimes and misdemeanors. There- fore Be it resolved, That the Committee on the Ju- diciary be, and they are hereby authorized to in- qu re into the official conduct of Andrew Johnson, Vice Pres'dent of the United States, discharging the powers and duties of the office of President of the Un ted States, and to report to this House whether, in their opinion, the said Andrew Jolson, while in said ofice, has been guilty of acts which are designed or calculated to overthrow, subvert or cor- rupt the government of the United States or any de- artment or office thereof; and whether the said An- drew Johnson has been guilty of any act or has con- spired with others to do acts which, in contempla- ton of ihe constitution, are high crimes and misde- meanors, requiring the interposition of the constitu- tienal power of this House; and that said commit- tee have power to send for persons and papers, and to admipister the customary oaths to witnesses. These charges and resolutions were not allowed any length of time for debate. The democrats and which would unite the republican party upon the question of his impeachment. Chief among these was the Tenure of Office law, which attempts to pre- vent the President from removing an obnoxious offi- cial. Mr. Johnson, with his usual fatuity, negiected to demand the resignation of his entire Cabinet as soon as the bill passed the House, although he must have known that its great object was to prevent the re- moval of Mr, Stanton. He simply contented himself with vetoing the bill. It is true that Mr. Stanton had, with a degree of duplicity unparalleled in American politics, declared in a Cabinet council that the bill ‘was unconstitutional, and that if even it was not it could not apply to Mr. Johnson’s Cabinet. After de- velopmeats made it apparent that, even while mak- ing such declarations, Mr. Stanton, who secretly sympathized with the Congressional policy of recon- struction, intended to avail himself of the provisions of the law and to seek their protection at the first opportunity. In the meantime, before the reassembling of Con- gress, Mr. Johnson had suspended Mr. Stanton from his duties as Secretary of War and appointed General Grant ad interim Secretary. After the meeting of Congress he sent ina communication to the Senate announcing the reasons for the suspension. The Senate refused to agree and on January 13 passed the following resolution:— Resolved, That having considered the evidence and reasons given by the President in his report of the 12th of December, 1867, for the suspension of Edwin M. Stanton, the Senate do not concur in said suspension. 4 ‘The resolution was voted for by the following Sena- tors:—Messrs. Anthony, Cameron, Catiell, Chandler, Cole, Conkling, Conness, Corbeit, , Drake, Edmunds, Ferry, Fessenden, Fowler, Frelinghuysen, Harlan, Howard, Howe, Morgan, Morrill of Me., Mor- conservatives endeavored to gain time, but the ma- jority were inexorable. The call for the “previous question” was.made and sustained, and the resolu- tion was adopted by a strict party vote of one han- dred and seven yeas to thirty nays, and referred to the Judiciary Committee, INVESTIGATION BY THE COMMITTEE. ‘The Judiciary Committee set promptly to work and examined a very large number of witnesses. The TMauner in which they proceeded was, to say the Jeast, very indelicate. Mr. Johnson’s social relations ‘were made the subject of investigation; the number of United States bonds he owned or had bought, and other matters connected with his private business ‘were ascertained. In fact nothing was left undone to obtain some ground on which to report in favor of his impeachment. On the 6th of February the com- ‘mittee began to take testimony, and toward the close of the session reported that not having fully investi- gated the charges they were unable to arrive at any conclusion. The subject was therefore tranferred to the Fortieth Congress. After this body met it was ascertained beyond a doubt that a majority of the committee was opposed to taking any further steps looking to impeachment. None of the evi- dence, it was asserted, constituted a high crime and misdemeanor, and it is probable that a report to ‘this effect would have been rendered had not'the summer recess of the House been taken. At this time the committee stood as follows:—For reporting against impeachment—Messrs, Wilson, rep., of lowa, chairman; Woodbridge, rep., of Vermont; Churchill, rep.,of New York; Marshall, dem., of Iilinols, and Eldridge, dem., of Wisconsin—5. For reporting in favor of impeachment—Mesars. Boutwell, rep., of Massachusetts; Williams, rep., of Pennsylvania; Thomas, rep., of Maryland, and Lawrence, rep., of Ohio—4. A MYSTERIOUS CHANGE AND REPORT IN FAVOR OF IMPEACHMENT. Before Congress met in the fall there were rumors afloat that Mr. Churchill, of New York, who had hitherto opposed impeachment, was now in favor of tt. The reasons assigned for this remarkable change were various, but they all united in attri buoting it to bis having been refused certain- appointments by the President. Whether this be true or met cannot, of course, be ascertained, and the probabilities are against its truth, But be that as it may, itis quite certain that on the 25th of November, 1867, Messrs. Boutwell, Williams, Thomas, Lawrence and Churchill, a majority of the commit- tee, presented a report favoring impeachment. Messrs. Wilson and Woodbridge, republicans, and Messrs. Marshall and Eldridge, democrats, presented &@ minority report, in which they held that the evi- dence yas not sufficient to warrant further action on the partofthe House, Prior to this time the fall 2lections had taken place, and the radical party had Bol only met with heavy losses, but had in several States been defeated by decisive majorities, ‘This Teaction against the policy of Congress had ita effect upon the great majority of the representatives. When, therefore, afiet some filibustering on the part of the democrats, vote was taken on the 7th of De- pport of the majority, 1t was declared cas to 109 nays, The following was Yeas—56. Anderson, rep., of Mo. Logan, rep., of Ti. rill of Vt., Morton, Nye, Patterson of N. H., Pomeroy, Ramsey, Stewart, Sumner, Thayer, Tipton, Trum- bull, Wade, Willey, Williams, Wilson. Six democrats voted in the negative. Immediately after General Grant surrendered up the War Depart- ment and Mr. Stanton resumed possession. Then followed along and angry correspondence between the President and General Grant, in which the Gene- ral was charged with having acted with duplicity aud insubordination. The House of Representatives officially called for this correspondence, which was referred to the committee on reconstruction. On February 13 Mr, Stevens, at a committee meeting, offered a report in favor of impeachment. On motion it was laid on the table by a vote of five to three, Messrs. Bingham, Paine and Beaman (radicals) and Messrs. Brooks and Beck (democrats) voting in the affirmative and Messrs, Stevens, Bautwell and Farns- worth in the negative. Thus failed the second at- tempt to impeach Mr. Johnson. THE LAST AND SUCCESSFUL EFFORT. On the 2istof February Mr. Johnson issued his order removing Mr. Stanton from the War Office and appointing General Thomas Secretary of War ad in- terim. During the same day he sent a communica- tion to the Senate setting forth his reasons, It wd considered in executive session the same evening and acted upon as follows:— Whereas the Senate have read and considered the communication of the President stating that he had removed the Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War, and had designated the Adjutant General of the Army to act as Secretary of War ad interim, there- fore Resolved, By the Senate of the United States, that under the constitution and laws of the United Stutes the President has no power to remove the Secretary of War and designate any other oficer to perform the duties of that ofice ad interim. The resolution was voted for by the following Sen- ators:— - Messrs. Anthony, Cameron, Cattell, Cole, Conkling, Cragin, Drake, Ferry, Harlan, Morrill of Me., Morril of Vt., Morton, Patterson of N. H., Pomeroy, Ram- sey, Ross, Sprague, Stewart, Sumner, ee ee, ‘Trambull, Van Winkle, Wade, Willey, W! , Wil- son, Yates—28, The vote in opposition to the passage of this reso- lution was very small and Gomprised only the few democratic Senators who were present. As will be seen, there were fourteen radicals absent or not voting. " Mr. Stanton’s removal and the subseqnent action of the Senate naturally created intense excitement throughout the country. In the House of Represen- tatives the subject was taken up and referrea to the Reconstruction Committee, who reported in favor of mpeachment. On February 24 @ vote was taken and the report adopted, The yote resulted, yeas 126, nays 47, a8 follows:— Yeas—126.

On the 7th the Presi- dent was summoned to appear and answer to the charges brought against nim the articles oftimpeach- ment. Anything more indecent than the haste with which matters were rushed through can hardly be imagined. When on March 13 Mr. Johnson appeared, by his counsel, and asked for forty days in which to prepare and serve his answers to the articles, the Tequest was refused by a large majority. He wag limited to ten days, and on Monday, March 23, the ‘answer was read by his counsel before the Senate. It contained a general denial of the charges, asserted his constitutional right to make removals, claimed the right of freedom of speech, and repelied the charges of conspiracy. Again rushing matters through the Impeachment Managers filed their re- plication to the answer on the following day. The Managers for the House were:—Megsrs. Ste- vens, Butier, Bingham, Boutwell, Williams, Wilson and Logan. All were radicais, the democrats re- fusing to take any part in the proceediny ‘The counsel for the President were Mé@Msra, Stan- bery, Evarts, Groesbeck, Nelson and Curtis. THE TRIAL. 4...
