If nothing else should cause to from such remarks, a de- cent sense of self-respect should restraimthem. No associate had a right, either in the Senate or in the court, to reflect on the conduct of any other Senator. No man had a higier respect for his constituents than himself; but his constituents could not enlighten hiin on the question of impeachment. It was a matter for his own conscience,and nothing could ever drive him from the periormance of his duty. If his con- er ag disapproved of his course he was in their hands, and ley might do with him as they wistted; be told by his back on law and justice. ry party to turn his It Was no use in trying to make impeachment a party question. It was no rty question, and the moment a party should put soit in the position that its members must perjure themselves, that party ought toand would crumble into dust. For his own part he regretted that the subject of impeachment had ever been brought into the Senate, and he believed it never ought to have been. He thought as long as the President was not craven, it would not injure them to send a bill to im. ad assailed his Mr. DRAKE asked if any Senator t of Impeach- colleague for his course in the Col ment. Several SENATORS—No one. Mr. HENDERSON inquired when his colleague had become the guardian of his character. Mr. DRakE replied that here and elsewhere he con- sidered himself in duty bound to defend it when as- e Mr. Morron raised the question of order that it was br hah to assail Senators for voting one way or another, Mr. DrakR suggested that when that Senator called another to order he shonld do it at the time that disor:!erly words are spoken, and not take the floor from a Senator speaking in order. He con- fessed his surprise that his colleague (Mr. Hender- son) under the supposition that some general asper- sions had been made upon the seven Senators who had voted for acquittal, had been called upon indi- pconpol to defend himself from that general as- persion. Mr. HENDERSON pointed out that a remark had been made deprecating intercourse with “this great criminal” whom the Senate had voted to acquit. Mr. SuMNER disclaimed any allusion to the Senator in that remark, but, satd he, listening to the Senator he will pardon me if | say that | was reminded of a roverb which seemed to me to be very applicable to case as he presente! it, It is this:—‘*Whoso ex- cuses himself, accuses himself.” The swiftness with which he rushed to seif-defence brought to my mind this ancient maxim. Mr. Sumner went on to repeat ‘his argument that it would be unbecoming in the ‘to interchange messages, &c., with the Presi- dent while the impeachment is pending. A vote, he continued, has been taken on one article, but there are ten to be acted upon, and on tne article acted ‘upon we all know that the acquittal was only by one vote.

Mr. HENDRICKS.—I make the point of order that be line ofargument made by the Senator is not in ler. ; Mr. Sumner said he knew of no rule that dictates to a Senator what course of argument he can pursue, and he proceeded with his remarks, in the cours: of which said he knew there were Senators who, since the impeachment question has been agitated, have continued in personal relations with the Presi- dent, and others who have sought official appoint- ments at his hands, and who have frequented his house. He had no criticism to make, but he could not have cone so himself. Mr. Stewart favored an adjournment on the ground that subjects must otherwise come up con- nected with the admission of the lately rebellious States, upon which opinions would be expressed that should be reserved until the question of im- hment is decided. He reminded the Senate that it Was not a judicial trtal only, as had been claimed, involving jitdicial issues and consequences, when Mr. WILLEY raised the point‘of order that it was pep ee’ to allude to the question of impeachinent in debate wiile it is pending. The Cuair ruled that ae of debate can be dictated by any question of order. Mr. JOuseOx Sppealod from the decision of the chair. After some talk on the point of order, Mr. MORTON moved to adjourn, which was not to. ‘The Cnaix stated the question to be on sustaining the decision of the Chair. Whereupon Mr. Jounson withdrew the appeal, saying it had been made under a misapprehension of the point made. Mr. STEWART concluded his remarks, holding that duriug the pending of this trial questions in- volving ‘he admission and _ reconstruction of States and the condition of the South and its people could not be fully discussed, and that, therefore, their best course was to adjourn. Another motion to adjourn, made by Mr. Came- RON, Was voted down. j The question was then stated to be on the motion to include the Senate in the resolution of the House, It was azreed to by a vote of 29 to 20; and the ques- tion recurring on the resolution, as amended, it was = by (he following vote:— 'BAS—Mowers, Anthony, nesa, Corbett, Davis, Dixon, Johnson, Bayard, Buckalew, Cole, Con- Doollttic, Fowler, Hendrleks, MeCreeny, Morr 21, Ver Morton, Patierson of X. of Tenn., Sat i ey wi ui i, Viekors and Wildamna—2. sy .

The SPEAKER replied that the gentleman from Wisconsin had so presented it. After examining the paper the CHarr said the gen- tleman did not directly charge corrupt purposes, but made use of the words; therefore, in the opinion of the Chair, as the latter did not embody say Serene offer, it was not a question of privilege; buthe wou:d submit the question to the determination of the House itself. Mr. ELDRIDGE said that he was desirous that the Missouri members should be either excuipated or convicted, ag the facts it warrant. Mr. Buatne inquired whether it was in order to move that the paper be not received. me SPEAKER replied that. it was not yet before the louse. After further proceedings the House by a party vote—yeas 28, nays 82—decided that the paper did not present @ question of privilege. Mr, BENJAMIN, (rep.) of Mo., asked leave to make rsonal explanation not exceeding five minutes. ir. ELDRIDGE objected. Mr. Warp, (rep.) of N. Y., asked leave to introduce a resolution to recall from the Senate the House joint resolutions proposing a recess of Congress. The SrEAKER said that the time had expired within which that could be done. Mr. Rosinson, (dem.) of N. Y., gave notice that at the next assembling after the recess he would renew his resolution heretofore offered directing the Mana- gers to witudraw their articles of impeachment. The SPEAKER said that he would rule when that question should be brought before the House. Mr. Ross, (dem.) of Til, in behalf of his colleague from the Galena district, moved that his colleague have leave of absence to travel in Europe and have his expenses paid, as during last summer. The SPEAKER said that leave of absence could be granted on the request only of the gentleman desir- ing it. tr. WASHBURNE reminded his colleague (Mr. Ross) that he would attend to his own personal matters. He would not call on any Knight of the Golden Circle to serve him. Mr. Ross hoped that his coleagne would take no offence. He had made the request in consideration - the onerous duties which devotved on his col- jleazue, Various private bills were adopted and acted upon. Mr. BENJAMIN Said that the resolution of Mr. El- aridge not having been received as a question of pu liege, an impression might go abroad that this disposition of the resolution was at the instance of the Missouri delegation who signed the letter which had been read at the Clerk’s desk, He was not, sat- isfied that such an impression should be made for himself, and he believed he also spoke for his col- leagues. ‘They desired the fallest investigation into all the facts in relation to the matter mentioned, and they asked that a special committee of the House be appointed for the purpose. There were other facts within his knowledge and others which would enter largely into the privileges of one of the Senators. They would not interpose any obstacles but render every aid in their power which the House orthe committee might re- quire. They desired that there should be a full in- vestigation and that all the facts should to the country. They knew at had nothing to ; they had neither done nor anything dishonorable or which would not bear the light of day before the country at large. Mr. EcpaipGe desired to know whether the gentle- man thought it was right for the whole Missouri dele- gation to call on one of the Senators from that State who was then considering a case judicially, and ask nim to withhoid his vote on one of the articles of bi hment, . BENJAMIN said, that in ylew of the circum- stances beep oe writing of the letter, he would reply “yes,” emphatically, ir. ELDRIDGE further. asked whether.on the prin- A) of justice and right it was proper to interfere with the deliberations of the ‘when the question was pending. Mr. BENJAMIN left that for the committee to judge, and the House can then assent or dissent to what = may report. ir. HiGBy, (rep.) of Cal., asked the genrenan the uestion whether they did not think they were right they supposed thero was to be a corrupt proceed- 'r, CHANLER, (dem.) of N. Y,, demanded that the words of the gentleman from California be en down by the Olerk. The SrEaAkER—With reference to the objection thus made, these words did not come within the par- lamentary law for the reason that the Senate forms 4 part of Congress. It was the Senate, although pre- sided over by the Chief Justice. The rules prohibited offensive remarks toward the proceeding of either branch. Although the question of the gentleman from California was hypothetic, the Chair thought it did not come within the parliamentary law, The presumption of the gentleman was that the Senate could make a corrupt decision. Bi HIGBY said he did not charge anything of that kind. Mr. ELDRIDGE observed the gentleman from Mis- pe (Mr. Benjamin) had made no such charge him- self. Mr. CHANLER demanded that the rules of the House be fully carried out. Mr. BENJAMIN, resuming, said that the Missouri delegation had no idea in the world, nor did they throw out any suspicion whatever, that the Senator (Mr. Henderson) would act corruptly or that any in- fuence beyond what was evidence disclosed, would be brought to bear on him. They explicitl tived sucn an inference. They charged nothing cor- rupt, It was stated on the floor that the Senator re- quested the presentation of such a letter to him. ACTION OF THE IMPEACHMENT MANAGERS. oe Heh pe said x bs wag : ed by the Im- peachment Managers to report the following resolu- tion and ask that it be put on its pas band ‘Whereas information has come to the Man: which seems to them to furnish probable cause to believe that im- Ror or corrupt influences have been used to influence the letermination of the Senate npon the articles of impeach- ment exhibited to the Senate by the House of Representatives more e' : tion of the Impeachment of the President the Managers be directed and fnstructed to summon and examine wi under oath, to send for persons und papers, to employ nographer ‘and to appoint sub-committees to take testimeny, the expenses thereor to be paid from the contingent fund of Mr. Ross rose to a question of order, and stated it to be that the House had no power to try Senaturs.

They were act- ing within the scupe of the authority dev them, They had no doubt that when the House undertook inpeachment all the power with which the constitution invested them for a j! proper and legal impeachment should be employed from time to time. This was all that the resolution cont jated— to see whether justice could be obstructed by the President or any of his hired agents, It was a power which no man could successfully challenge. The habeas corps could not control it, He did not say the truth if the information brought to the Mai rs would be sus:ained by proof, but it would be the duty of the rs to Mivest it. Mr. Brooks, (dem.) of N, Y.—l ask the gentleman from Ohio to state what course the Managers intend to Van in this investigation, ir. BINGHAM—We intend rye Boe pursue the line of investigation that is stated in the resolution, Mr. BRooKs—With open doors or with shut doors?

Mr. Brooks—But Is it to be ex parte—what people generally call an inquisition—or is it to be a public examination? Mr. BincHaM—The gentleman need not inquire of me any further, He seems to be in pursuit of knowledge under difficulties. Mr. BROOKS—Very t difficulties.

I merely state that the Managers’on the part of the House propose, by leave of the House, to prosecute this impeachment in good faith, in accordance with the nove given un- der the constitution, until the day of judgment, (Laughter on the democratic side of the House.) Mr. JOHNSON—On all the articles? Mr. BINGHAM—I do not answer any further ques- tions. I move the previous question. Mr. RoBinson moved that the resolution be laid on the table.

Never, sir, did your democratic organi- zation, when it controiled this House, proceed with an investigation touching the privileges of the House, or the rights of the people, in any other mode than we proceed with it to-day. ir. ELDRIDGE—I rise to a question of order. Tin- sist that the gentleman from Ohio shall not address this side of the House, but shall address the Chair, He is looking round here so savagely that he has nearly driven us all out of our seats.

The House refused to adjourn—yeas 22, nays 79. ‘The House refused to lay the resolution on the ta- bll—yeas 10, nays 86, Mr. RoBINSON—I ask to make a su ition in one word to the gentleman from Ohio. Would he not let this subject go to a select committee, or, at all events, to some committee that has on it a representative of the democratic party, which we claim to be the ma- jority of the peopie of the North? Is it not a mockery to send it to a committee on which there is no repre- sentative of that party ? ‘Mr. BiINGHAM—I insist on the previons question. Mr. PRuyN, (dem.) of N.

How the News Was Received—The Rads and Their Mourning—Jubilee and General Joy. If a “carpet bagger,” intent upon finding in this great city of ours a constitutional objection to popu- lar ebullitions, were to have plodded his weary way along any of the prominent thoroughfares of Gotham yesterday afternoon about one and a half o’clock sharp, by City Hall time, he would no doubt have felt within his unctious sou! a longing, deep and earnest, for ‘home, sweet home,” far away from the screech- ing of urchins yet in hobbledehoyhood and the shoutings of joyful men, who made the air resound with yellings that climaxed with @ groan for any man who would take spoons with other folks’ names upon them, and then want to impeach a portly tailor, who was sound on the goose of the constitution. It would not only have “scarifled” carpet baggers, the scene in our streets when the glorious news was shot overa hundred thousand wires:—‘The President is ac- qitted;” but even the old women in Printing House square, who keep their precious sentiments inside a Freedman’s Bureau wrapped up in clothes of twaddle were at a loss how to act, what to .say, where to go, though feeling certain where they should be sent if somebody had his Sunday morning due. WAITING FOR THE VERDICT. During the entire forenoon there was a mysterious something or other in the atmosphere of the city, that denoted on everybody’s part a nervous and irrepressible feeling of “what might be” as Jean Ingelow perhaps would say; an aspect on every face that flitted by you in the restaurants, at the stfeet crossings and on the cars, of indescribable uneasi- ness and uncertainty, and when St. Paul’s toned out the ominous “one” there seemed to be but one ob- Jective point to which every footstep turned—the newspaper bulletins, It was then that the war, with ita ever recurring incidents of eager gatherings hud- died about the HERALD office doors—the anxious in- quiries, the gladdened looks of the many as the eager crowd espied in lines of black on ground of white the story Of a great victory won for the Union—were all forcibly brought to one’s mind, particularly when delight at the mere idea that he was to act so impor- tant a part in public as the hoisting up of the news that had already over the wires sounded death knell of radicalism and the destruction of ite most cherished stronghold. As he drew near the the eager questions were , and so went we Before the four corners of the paper had touched the board with their sticky faces came a yell adown the streets as if all the chil- in New York had been let loose for a day’s romp, free from parental control.

The majority, my dear sir, of the Senate of the United States says the President is guilty—guilty sir, guilty.” And the speaker took a big pinch of snuff, Now the portly gent:eman, perhaps not liking the allusion made to his nose, which was not a sinall one, or being indignant at the assertions of his tall neighbor, got very red in the face and exclaimed:— “But you must remember that a two-third vote is neSAIL lly, sity all fo bs , Sir, ail folly,” was the snappish reply. 5 you ie ‘en convict the Senate,” : “I think you're joking, sir.’ “Not a bit of it; 1 fe fool, I think.”” “Well,” replied the portly gentleman, “I don’t see what you're driving at, but the constitution lays it down that a two-third vote is necessary to convict.” “Oh, Oh!

In Wall street the excitement over the news was of the most intense character. The bewildered brokers in their penay of joy or anger as the case happened ~ to be, created the uimost consternation by the long rapidity with which they dashed about in tl board rooms and in the street. Stocks were allowed to take care of themselves for a while, and wherever there was an extra or “something additional” about the great news, there went the brokers at break-neck pace. Apple stands were overturned and their contents spilled into the streets; even the small boys floating around loose forgetting their usual habit’ of “grabbing” in the general hubbub; the soda water men. on the corners tried to hold fast to all their precious bottles at one and the same time as the excited money deal- ers rushed to and fro regardless of broken conse- quences, while for a time, about the corners where people had to make a sudden turn without being abie to look around the house angles to avoid sudden. collisions of heads and ‘shoulders, there was a serambling for hats knocked off and papers scattered that would have led a temptrance man to believe that the soda men who were holding on to their bottles had sold out something stronger than water to the scramblers. “Grimes still lives, Charlie, my boy,” said one smiling old buck of a broker, “and the intry is safe.” “O, it is all very well to talk,” exclaimed a crabbed looking old ‘un with a very green cravat and large diamond. “Johnson isn’t ali right yet awhile. There’s ten articles to vote on yet.” ‘This sally was received by the crowd with a gen- eral roar of laughter, in which the green cravat heartily*joined for appearance sake. The general feeling in Wall street, and indeed all about town, was one of jubilee, and the more the vote of the High Court was talked of the more satis- fled did the majority of those who gave public ex- eye to their sentiments seem to become over the inal result. When our reporter left the busy crowd in the street, near the Goid Exchange, there was a loud chaunting by many voices, that had taken their cue from an enthusiastic quartet of Sound the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark seas, Jehovah has triumphed, his people are free. The Feeling in Brooklyn. The momentous flashing of the electric spark which bore the great national verdict to the metro- polis of the country—where nimble fingers set the ready type and the rapid revolutions of the steam press struck off the anxiously looked for result of the great impeachment jury—reached the goodly City of Churches with the promptitude which the occasion required, and the news spread like wildfire through- out the length and breadth of the city, exciting vari- ous and tumultuous feelings of party triumph and disappointment, as were the varied dispositions of the recipients of the adjustment of “the question of || the hour.”” The large democratic majority given in Brooklyn last fall. makes it almost unnessary to state triumph and rejoicing at the defeat of the radical and dangerous element were far in the ascendancy. The “truly loyal,”’ so styled, assumed an elongated expression of countenance, which best suited their condition, and made put a feebie attempt at keeping up their droopiig spirits while they perused the aes- patches of the Evening Telegram and speculated sadly on what might have been had Senator Grimes been too ill to attend the last act of the High Court. Some of the radicals claim, however, that it 18 just as well as it 1s, because their party has shown @ magnanimity of action in this matter which must augur favorably for them, there being no ex- citement or ill feeling among them. The scenes about the City Hall, where politicians and public men more generally center, were very exciting and ex- tremely ludicrous in some instances. ‘The “impeach- ists” were handled without gloves, to use a com- mon phrase, and ridiculed most uncharitably by their more numerous political adversaries of the democratic and conservative schools, A large amount of money changed hands; which had been staked on the result of the final vote of the Senate. The winesellers appeared to have profited more largely than any other class of trades- people in that vicinity from the jubilant effer- vescence of the victorious and more excitable of those who entertained and exp! serious con- victions on the subject of impeachment.
