THE QUESTION OF JURISDICTION. Wasuusortox, April 27, 1876, The galleries of the Senate chamber were again crowded to-day, at least two-thirds of the audience being composed of ladies. One-half of the gentlemen's gallery, on the right side of the chamber, was occupied by ladies, in addition to the regular galleries set apart for them, The managers upon the part of the House of Representatives and the counsel for the accused were arranged as heretofore, Tne Chaplain, in his opening prayer, alter invoking the Divine blessing, said:— May we remember that another dy is coming, and that there is no past which the tutare may not heal, O God our Father, our hourts long for that healing, that we may at- ‘tain to the comin + resurrectis und th immortality, and that all our failures here may be but the stepping stone to the glorious hereatter— was one about which there was great conflict of opinion | the postponement of this trial until alter the Prest- among those who ought to understand it best. Doubt- less there would be powerful arguments on the pert of the managers in favor of the jurisdiction denied by the accused; but on the other band, those arguments would be met with a demonstration as plain as the sun at noontide, It was a matter of transcendent impor- | which the vol tance to the public that this question should be decided | hundred at a was mere child's play. exactly right If the Senate took a jurisdiction, fr 2 knew what the political campaign wi then, which did not belong to them, it was | to Tho democrats who. as always, were anti. & most alarming usurpation of power; while | corruptionists—(laughter)—were fous 0 play ther it they had jurisdiction and refused to oxercise ‘ou that bide with drums and fk it, it would be ao gross dereliction of dut; Certainly that was not a question to be solved in midst of astorm. If the Senate decidedly had ju diction then would come the merits of the caso, and he had a right to say there and now that the accused ‘was innocent, Such was the presumption of law. Nor | had he seen legally sumcient and satistactory evidence | of guilt, Doubtless there would be a torunidable case | made out against bim.

[From the Syracuse Daily Journal, April 26.) At an early hour this morning Chief Davis, of thi want you to uy { | cordance with its previous order, would suspend the consideration of legislative business and proceed to eonsider the articles ot impeachment against William W. Beiknap, late Secretary of War. ‘The Sergeant-at-Arms then made the usual proclama- tlon, The names of Senators Alcorn, Johnston and Wad- leigh, not heretofore sworn, wore called. Mr. Wadleigh responded and the oath was adminis- yered to him by President pro tem. Ferry. Mr. W.ruxrs, of Virginia, announced that. his col- league, dir. Johnston, was detained at home by seri- ons illness in his family. ‘The Secretary of the Senate was directed to inform the House of Representatives that the Senate was ready to proceed with the impeachment trial. After a few minutes the manogers on the part of the House of Representatives entered the Senate Chamber unit were escorcod to their seats. The journal of the proceedings of the Senate sitting as u court of impeachment on the 19th inst. was read, and also the rejoinder filed on Mouday ast by the accased, and the surrejoinder fled on Tuesday by the managers, Mr. Lorp, on behalf of the Board of Managers, ar- gned that the respondent had not answered the charges Contained in the articies of impeachment Tho plead- ings now filed related only to the question of the juris- diction of the Senate sitting as a court of impeachment, and the managers deemed it best to have the evidence given on that question before the arguments wore pre- He, therefore, presented the following, and asked that it be adopted by the Senate:— Ordered, That the evidence on the question pertaining to th plow of the jurisdiction pf this court be given before the arguments relating thereto are heard, and, if such plea is overraled that the defendant be required to” answer th Helos of Impeachment within two days, and the House of Representatives to reply, if they deem It necessary, within two days: and that the trial procoed on the next day after the joining of the issue, Mr. Cagpextar said he had acounter motion, and that was to continue the further hearing of the trial Until the first Monday of December next, and, as that ‘was a Very important motion, the counsel for cused desired to be heard upon it at greater than the rules of the Senate allowed. asked that the 20th rule be suspended, &: four hours for the argument, two for each side. He then sent to the Clerk's desk, and had read as fol- lows :— United States vs. William W.

ARGUMENT OF MK. BLAIR, Mr. BLair, of counsel of the accused, then sub- mitted, in behalf of the motion for an extension of the time, as his first reason, the lateness of the session, It would be impossible for the counsel for the defence in the time remaining of the present séssion to prepare to do justice to the great questions involved in this case. At the threshold they were met by the tandamental constitutional question whether a private citizen was subject to be impeached by this body. The counsel has not the time at this late hour vo go to the original sources of inquiry on a subject so grave. Even the books 1 the Congressional Library had been beyond their reach, having beeu out of the Nbrary when first mqauired for, and when surrendered were handed over to tbe thanagers. The second ground for an exten- sion of time was that in the articles and presentation mace by the managers they ask the liberty to present additional articles. that the House of Representatives was proceeding day by day with tuquirics in order toadd additional articles, From the commitice from which this proceeding ortgin- Aled there was’ an outpouring day by day through the pubiic press of testimony intended to further triminate, or at least prejudice the pabhe mind, and through the public mind the great political body before which, sittmg as a court, the accused was arraigned.’ Were we to have impeachment in broken doses? Was it fair and just while de- liberation was pending on these articles the House investigation svould still go on’ The accused did not object to its going on, but wanted It to go on antil everything that could be found against him should be presented. They wanted ali the evidence against bin presented, in order to meet it It was impossible tor the accused to have a fair trial while the sluices of cal- umny were opened and the public mind saturaced Pity prevudice, The accused was a man who won 18 station in the councils of the President, not by mapipulating of primaries, by great services im the forum, or by pecuniary and material aid tp the elee- tion, but by deeds on the field of battle; and when such a man was brought before the Court’ upon these articies, be snould at least only be called upon to answer | spectic allegations embodying all that could be found against him after his official history had been rap- ‘suc! Finally, he appealed to the Senate to postpone the consideration of the question, becuse, ym the nature of the charge ttself, and the position of the party, the charge connected ttsolf directly with THR POLITICAL IS8URS ofthe day. The accused was to be tried before a body consisting of the most active partisans and politicans of the United States on eharges which one party was anxious to heap upon the o.her, and which the other was anxious to throw off So both parties were com- mitted to his destruction. 1t was no “isrespect to the Senate to say this, because even the Supreme Court dechined to give its judgment on questions Souettag tee ty politics of tue day until the contest in which ra e | It was a matter of present history | through a hfetime of well doing than to present it, Yet, this had to be now done, and the accused was en- tied so demand for it a calm and fiir consideration, The Committee on War Expenditures bad pursued him with remorseless eagerness. If they had taken him out into the public square and shot him dead it would have been an exhibition of mercy in comparison to making the accusation against bim. were able to. make a complete answer entircly satis- low. This was a case in which all parties, while they agreed with each other in nothing else, united in one grand chorus of execrution upon the head of the ac- cused. The aemocracy, since this accusation had been made, remembot ing its traditiona: love of everything that was pure and good in the government and its pro- found hatred and contempt of all manner of corrup- tion—(laughter in the gullerics)—broke out into an ex- plosion of wrath, without stopping to consider whether Or not the facts wero true, and the general roar they sent up,* which shook the whole country from sea to sea, stampeded completely tho party of the administration. They broke trom their corral, snupped the luriats of their horses and went wild, and some rather heavy stock went over the plains at a furtous paca, (Loud laughter in the gaileries, followed by a reprimand irom the President of the Senate.) What had the Department of Justice done to protect and save the accused? Without warrant or process of any kind and without any reason to believe that be meditated escape, the Attorney General SURROUNDED 113 HOUSE with policemen, stationed them 1m its halls until they were plentiful as the frogs of Egypt. Indeed, one would have thought that this was some fallen Minister of an Eastern potentate awaiting culate signal for the bowstring. Yet, the head of the iment of Justice was a man of learning avd high character, who could not be suspected of intentional injustice, He would make this same appeal to any court of jus- tice, for this was no injudicial invocation of the Senato’s discretion. the final justice of the body which it would be indeli- cate or improper to suggest, What, if judges oftordi- nary courts listened to auch @ proposition, how much more neoossary was it that apolitical or’ legislative body should distrust itself and be careful how it exer- cised ite powers in a caso like the presout. Judges sup- Teach ot party clumor or public clamor, but the doors of a legielative body could nat be closed’ upon those in- fluences. Bestdes, they all regarded it as a virtuo to represent their constituents truly, and to please them as much as possible.’ In order to show that that was the universal result it was only necessary to look at the doings of the great Legislature of that country from which the United States derived their institutions THE WISTORY OF IMPRACHMENTS in the British Parliament, and of patns and penalties and bills of attainder, which for a long time caine in the Place Nak pe reer was tbe history of the shame and the misfortune of that country in three-lourths of those cases, and in all of them, perbaps, in which judg- ment was given in times of high political excitement, the successors of that same Parliament ac- knowledge with shame and sorrow that the whole thing was wrong and reversed: the udements; but some of those judgments still stood to disgrace the case of Floyd in the retgu of James I., who for some flippant expression concerning the elector Palatine was punished by Parhafnent and compelled to ride on horseback through the principal thoroughfares of his fuce to the horse's tail, and with tho tail in his hands, und have him to stand in the pillory for two hours. to be pelted by the mob; was then whipped fon the bare back, branded on the’ forcbead with tho Prison for the term of bis natural life. And that pun- tshment had been inflected, not by a set of bar- barians, but by the greatest intellects, the wisest, most virtuous und discreet statesmen that Engiand had ever produced; among them Coke, the father of the common law. ‘He also cited the Swartout case, in this country, who, was supposed to be a defaulter to the amount of $1,300,000, and whom (after his fight from the country) both political parties treated as if he were guilty, just as they were how anxious to have Mr. Beiknap punished and dranded with infamy; and yet it was proved alter- ward that, instead of Swartout being a defaulter to the government the government was indebted to him m a small amount. It was so in this instance. Everybody was anxious to have the gentleman at the bar pun- ished, and especially bis trends of the House of Rep- Tesentatives, Even the Attorney Goneral of the United ‘States bad already shown, and would show again, that he could be as indignant against a man charged with corruption as the most virtuous democrat who ever | lived. (Laughter.) He likened the United States at the present time to that Roman city whieh, the commencement of the second century, procored from Africa a magnificent Hen of great strength and ferocity, but which wanted a man to give to the lion on the ove of the day of the pubhe games. Some of the people dragged a man at | betore the magistrate, charged with the great crine of | Christianity, and he Was ordered to be cast to tho lon. | | It the magistrate had refused to take jurisdiction, or had acquitted this man on the groand that he was a good pagan, what would have happened to the magts- trae? He himself would have mn thrown to the hon, and the people would have have bad their sport anybow, What did these examulés of popular tury teach? (for history was philosophy, tevching by ex- ample). They taught that when “the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing” demanding THR SACRIVICK OF A VICTIM that was the very time that the Senate should not take Jurisdiction or cognizance of that charge; that it should wait quietly until the timo were propitious— wait, as the Prophet Elijab waited when he came out of the cave, until the earthquake ceased to shake the mountain, until the creat wind bad blown past, until the mighty fire had burned itself out, and then listen | | | | | Even though he | It did pot imply any want of confidence in | posed themselves to livo in an atmosphere above the | age in which they were pronounced, Ho instanced the | London on two different days without a saddle, with | | the impeachment case until the frst Mon letter K, and finally ordered to be kept in Newgate | proportion ag a deliberate violation of the constitution ‘was more dangerous to liberty than the viol mere penal statute.

He did not desire to | even follow the prosecuting witness to Canad would be here whenever the court opened for his tri but be asked that he might have this delay until this speedy action, Here there was none No pubiic inter- est was in danger. Nothing would follow if these man- agers accomplished every ond they had in view and made good every point they stated, except to fx polit- teal disability on a private citizen, How many had the House relieved trom political disabilities this very week? For these reasons he submitted that the mere motion to continue this case to A COOLKR HOUR and toa more quiet season onght to bo heard wish favor, and that therefore tho character and conduct of Mr. Belknap in the war and his whole former life might properly be considered, When the issues came to bo Pred whether or not this man was guilty of the partic. ular charge alleged against bim then bis counsel would have nothing to say about bis bravery in the war or abcut bis services to bis country. But here und now, when the only question was whothor he should or should not bave politionl disabili- ties imposed upon him until this great political con- test was passed, and until the people and the press were free from excitement, he thought that he a right to invite the friendly attention and consideration of the Senate to this appheation as coming from a man who had rendered some services to bis coantry. Senator Edmunds moved that the Senate withdraw for consultation. ‘The motion was agreed to—yeas 35. nays 24. Before the Senate retired Mr. Hoar, one of the managers, called its attention to the rule of pariia- mentary law which restricts the Sonate in the discus- | sion of what has taken place in the House of | Representatives. He desired to know whether that was a rule governing the proceedings on the trial, so that the managers of the House might govern themselves accordingly. He was led to j allude to the subject from the fact that one of the learned counsel had been permitted to state that a soene of disorder took place in the House on a certain | occasion, He did not make a motion on ¢he subject, | but merely desired to call the attention of the Senate | toit in order that the managers might understand what their rights and daties were in the premises, Mr. Carpenter said that on the part of the defendant | counsel wished to be heard before the important ques- tion was decided. ‘The Senate then, at three o’clock. retired for consuita- tion and returned to the Senate Chamber at half-past | four, when the presiding officer announced that the motion on the part of the defendant was denied and | that the counsel on the part of the respondent would now be heard on the motion submitted by the mao- agors which is, that evidence on the question pending | to the plea of jurisdiction be given before the u- | ments relating thereto are heard, and that if sock pee | je overruled the defendant should be required to answer the articles of impeachment in two days, and | | that trial shall proceed on the next day after joining | insue. Mr. Blair, counsel for Mr. Belkuap, rose to open the argument, bat on motion of Seuator Anthony, the Sen- | ate, sitting as a Court of Impeachment adjourned until to-morrow at balt-past twelve P. M. UNANIMITY OF SENATORS. The Senators were during au bour and a half in | private consultation this afternoon (after they with- { | drew from their Chamber) on the motion ot counsel for General Belknap to postpone the further hearin of y of - cember. Finally Senator Edmunds submitted an order that the motion be denicd, and it was unan- tmonusly agreed to, fifty-nine Senators voting The absentees were Senatore Alcorn, Bruce, Clayton, | Cragin, Davix, Dorsey, English, Gordon,’ Johnston, Kernan, Sharon, Spencer, Wallace and Wright—1d | Nearly ‘all these Senators’ were absent from she city | during the conference. It was suggested that tho managers on the part of the House should ve heard in reply to the arguments of the counsel for the defence; but this was thought to be unnecessary in view ef the fact that it was manifestly the unanimous “od ion of the Senate that the motion should be denied, and this was shown by the subsequent formal yote. | The pending question to bo considered to-morrow, as to-day fled by the House managers, is that the testi- | mony relating to the jurisdiction of the Seuate siting | as acourt of impeachment be given before the argu- | ment relating thereto, Tne proceedings to-day developed the fact that every | proceeding of the House managers will be prompt met A the counsel for the respondent, There ts muc! ulation as to how the Senate will decide the ques- tion of Jarisdiction, as nothing has been said by the Senators to indicate their course, Should tho Senate decide that they have no jurisdiction the case will, of course, come to an end.

Yes, dear mother, and you know WHY I DID XOT OPEN MY HEART AT THE FIRST. The first and principal reason 1s this—it was only the week before I _was wld by an officer that the officers at the City Hall were watching me in all my movements and woald give most anything to get hold of me, for they were joalous of Pinknam and Worick, The second reason is—it was only wshort tine betore ‘the 23d that 1 was told how well 1 was liked at church, how clean I kept everything, and do you recolleot of mo en oae day at dinner table, a day or two before 23d, how hard I was’ going to try to please them; that 1 was —_ to keep church botter second year than first? Oh! mother, when I lifted the trapdoor off of that dear hitle child and picked her up and nd she could pot stand up, and when she began tu scream so loud as what she did, then is when I began to think that I ought not to nave allowed her to go he} atall And oh! if you could but imagine how bad I felt! When I first liited the trapdoor from her my first impulse was to take her down immediately; but the second thought came over me at once, HOW MUCH THEY WOULD BLAME ME for allowing her to goup there. So I laid her down, thinking that by the way she was screaming that she Would soon attract attention from the street if the folks iu church did not hear her, and she would not have to remain there long, And thinking that when they found her they would, of course, see that it was the trap door that had hurt her, I left her, closed the trap door, went down and closed the tower door, which bad remained open, with key in it, from the time I first wont up un- ul 1’ came down.’ Well, as I say, I closed it, and, hardly knowing what 1 was doing, I lock the dour, und taking out the key I passed down stairs and into the large vestry of the church As for going out of the window—such a thought never entered my head. But I was foolieh enough to think when the sereaimi asked for the ke; | unlocked the door myseli, they would blame me at once. This is why I done as I did concerning the keya.

And when all these thoughts wero Tushing through my wind is just when different ones were asking me all sorts of questions. So, dear mother, with these thoughts and being questioned ut the same time, do you wonder that I told some things that wore not true or even did not tell some things straight which I intended to?

CULMINATION OF A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY—A HUSBAND ACCIDENTALLY KILLS HIS WIFE IN SELF-DEFENCE AGAINST HER FATHER AND THEN COMMITS SUICIDE—THE OLD GENTLE- MAN HANGS HIMBELY. Roszviix, Pa, April 26, 1876. A six months’ old domestic tragedy has had a melancholy seqael in the suicide yesterday of William Russell. William Rassell came to this vicinity about ten years ago from England. He-brought with him his wife and two children, both girls. Buying a farm, it was not long before his industry and integrity placed him in 4 leaaing position among his rural neighbors. Three years alter becoming a citizen of the community a sad casualty left him a widower and robbed him of bis youngest daughter. r 4 RURAL Pxvp. The remaining child was ten years old at that time. Her name+was Hattie, and being an extraordinarily bright and active girl, despite her tender years she took almost entire charge of hor father’s houschold, a servant girl, named Lizzie Sockets, being her only as- sistant, , At a party in Roseville last spring the motherless girl meta young man named Horton Hurd. His father had formerly owned a farm adjoining the Russel) homestead, but about five years ago a dispute arose be- tween him and Russell as to the location of a lino fence between certain of their fields. The dispute led toa bitter quarrel, and tinally to ong and exensive liti- gation, which resulted in the defeat of Russell. The decision of the Court was takon deeply to heart by the English farmer, and his hatred for Hurd became gen. eral against every member of his tamily. Two years ago Hurd died, and Horton Hurd, as the only malo rep- resentative of the estate, endeavored to obliterate the feeling hold by Russell against the family by offering to make certain concessiuns, but only succeeded in ag- gravating it, The Hurd farm was leased to other parties and the family removed to Roseville. LOVE AND SEPARATION. The acquaintance between Miss Russell and young Hurd ripeved into an ardent mutual affection, and the two met frequenuly im the village, Although she made no attempt to covecal her choice of a lover from her father, it was some weeks before he was aware of the intimacy that bad sprang up between the son of his old enemy und bis daughter. He at once and emphatically forbade her ever again | | severest displeasure. Loving her father aevotediy, ‘Miss Russell sacrificed hor own happiness to his will, wad wrote to her lover that all future itercourse be- | all invitations and solicitations to the merry social parties fur which this section is noted. c Meantime Lizzie Socket had grown from a healthy chubby girl of thirveen to be an attractive and tidy young woman of twenty. For a year and over Miss Russell bad noticed that her father’s couduc: toward the housemaid was not that which is usually supposed to characierize the intercourse of the rich head of a { family with bis kitchen servant, Her lather was nearly filty years ot age, and the girltwenty, He was a rich widower; she the daugtier of a poor laboring man. | Miss Russell at once made up her mind to speak to the e and warn her of the impropriety of her conduct. jhe did so. The girl toid the farmer, who commandea his daughter (o confine herself to her household duties and not make herseli over officious about his affairs. DISMISSING HKR FATHER'S PARAMOUR. The ver etin 8 between Kussell and the Sockett girl increased, and the daughter saw with pain that her father’s affection seemed not only alenated trom Ler, bus that her position and authority in the house were being — ly usurped by the servant. Smarting under this injustice, in July last, daring the absence of her father, Miss Rosseil ordered the girl to leave the house, and in such uecided terms that she did uot dare disobey the command. When Russell revurned bome that night and was told by bis daughter that she had discharged Liaztc Sockett his rage knew no bounds. He went away aud returned ‘with the discharged girl, reinstated her im her place and forbade his daughter using any authority im tho house thenceforth. The meeting or speaking to Hortoa Hurd on penalty of his | | tween them must ccase, and she thencelorth declined | poor girl determined to re- | city, received the following despatch trom Jamese ville:— Jamuusvitws, N. Y., April ‘1876. Chiet ot Police Davia:— me Attempted murder here last night. Arrest Danie Moynehan and Edward Gaff, who went from here to your city last night. Moynehan has worked in Courier office, Answer if found. ©. E, CONNELL, Constable. ‘The matter of looking up the above parties was placed in the hands of the officers, but at the hour of going to press this ufternoon neither of the men have been arrested, though they have been heard of in this city this morning. ‘Their arrest will undoubtedly be effected to-day. From several gentlemen residing in Jamesville we learn the following particulars of the alleged attempt at murder:—For some time past a German family named Behten has resided in Jamesville, but recenuly they removed to Baldwinsville, where they now reside Yesterday morning a son, named William Bohlen, went from Baldwinsville to Jamesvilie, to sce some friends. During the day young Beblen, who is about twenty years of age, had a dispute with another young man named AlbertGove, but, as we une derstand, the quarrel ended in words, no blows being struck. These parties fivally separated, each going his way. Behion was about the village during the remain+ der of the day and evening. About eloven o'clock Behlen went to the saloon und grocery of Daniel Quin- Jan, which ism the village, and going to one of the windgws stood looking in. While thus engaged three onc gina were firod in quick suceession by some un- nown and unseen eit the third shot. strikin; Behlen in the back. He halloed on being shot and tel to the ground. The firing attracted a crowd and Behlen ‘was assisted toa place of shelter aud a physician - moned to attend him. The physiciun, on xanintag the wounded man, found that the ball had entered just beneath the shoulder blade and had passed through the Jung, lodging just bencath the skin of the breast, from whence it was removed By the physician, Knowledge ot the difficulty betwoen Beblen and Gove coming to the ears of Conatable C. E. Conrfell, he at once arrested Gove on suspicion of being the person who fired the shot, During the day Moynehan and Gaff, referred to in the despatch above, had been in Jamesville. Moyno- han anda sou of Quinlan had previously had some d:f- ticulty, and it is supposed by some that the shooting ‘was done by Moynehan, who, itis alleged, has threat- ened to shoot young Quinlan, and that Behien was mis- ‘taken for Quinlan, and dredat him with the above result. The cause of. the trouble between Mi and Quinlan is alleged to have been a young lady. At the latest accounts from the injured man it was thought he cannot survive his wound. Doubtiess the examination of Gove will take place as soon us the condition of Behlen willadmit, We under. stand that bis ante-mortem deposition has been taken. Later. —A rumor reaches us just as wo to press | that Moynehan and Gaff wore both ‘discovered at or near Jamesvilie and have been taken into custody, and are ‘now in the lockup in that village. Young Gove stoutly denies his having had anything to todo with the attempted murder. Behblen, as we are informed by a revident of the village, is of the opinion that Gove ts not the person who shot him, and | ts at a loss to account for any one desiring to take hia life, Doubdtiess au investigation of the affair will show os , Behlen was shot through being mistaken for * uintan, Latr.—Since writing the above Chief Davis has re- ceived a telegram announcing the arrest of Moynehan and Gaff, who were found about two miles from the ‘village, tots foreonoon, at ten o’clock, They are now locked up awaiting an examination.
