THE BRAZILIAN EMPEROR. Montreat, June 6, 1876. The imperial party arrived hére this evening, at eight o'clock, by steamer from Kingston. The trip down the St, Lawrence interested their Majestics very much, but, after all they had heard of the Thousand Islands, they were somewhat disappointed in what they saw, Tne same may be said of the rapids, which are talked about with an exaggeration truly Oriental. Owing to the large quantity of water in the river the rapids ‘Wero not as impressive j at least this was the excuse put forth by the natives, His Majesty has been very much interested in all he has seen during his short trip through Canada, He noticed at once the very marked difference in the life ‘on the two sides of the river. Canadian towns recall memories of English provincial towns, and even the most prosperous want that bustling activity of energetic American life, while the less prosperous places seom going rapidiy to ruin. Taking advantage of atew hours delay at Toronto, yesterday, His Majesty. accompanied by the Emprons: e@, drove through the ciiy, which, with its of sem{-detached villas, made a very favorable The Lunatic Asylum also attracted His Majesty's attention by its size and importance, and His Majesty regretted that time would not permit him to inspect it. A \ew minutes before the starting ot the train t! Mayor of Toronto presented bimeel! at the carriage and was admitted to see the Emperor. He said to His Majesty, “1 greet Your Mayesty to our country and re- gret you cannot stay for some days; we would have | &reat pleasure in showipg you our institutions.” A large crowd assembled at the Montreal wharves to witness the landing of their Majesties, and gave them hearty cheers. In the evening His Majesty went to the Academy of Music to witness the performance of ‘Pique.’ Tho | Empress was too fatigued to go. ‘THE EMPEROR TO VISIT VASSAR COLLEGE. Povenkersrsin, N.

Passage of the Indian Appropriation Bill by the House. | PROCEEDINGS IN THE IMPEACHAENT CASE. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wasuixctox, June 6, 1876, THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN THE LIGHT OF THE BLAINE DEMONSTRATION IN THE HOUSE— WHAT THE FRIENDS AND THE FOES OF THE MAINE STATESMAN SAY—RUMORED COMBI- NATIONS NOT BEFORE COUNTED ON. Mr. Blaine has, of course, been the topic of conver- sation to-day. His friends foel confident that he will be the nominee of the Cincinnati Convention, and they Say that all doubts of a republican success would be re- moved 1f ho should be nominated and shou!d thereupon show himself through the country, speaking in tho larger cities. They say public curiosity 1s greatly aroused about him, and that the people would flock in thousands to see him, and that he would arouse very great enthusiasm. His opponents say that he is fatally damaged; that the Convention will not dare to nominate him becauso he would havo to explain too much and that the democrats would have the re- Publicans ata fatal disadvantage in this, But to this argument his friends reply that no other candidate has been so thoroughly investigated, and that fewer now charges could be brought against him than against any other, r Tho shrewder politicians of the republican side do not express themselves very confidentially. They say, “Wait until you see what the country says. Mr. Blaine may fall down to the bottom, or he may rise on an irresistible wave and swoop the Convention,” They allow him, at any rate, a formidable power in the Con- vention to make or mar the fortunes of otner candi- dates, and speculation is already afloat as to what com- binations he may be preparing tomake. His opponents to-day curiously examined the letters which appeared in tho Record. It was remarked that Mr. Blaine took care to read tho letters himself; that he did not read them in the regular order of their dates, and that he bas not submitted the originals to the committee. They also mean tosubmit the contents of the letters to a rigid scrutiny, and thep make the point that in one of them there are allusions to a promise of influence, which means political mfluence, in the House, ‘The democrats generally beliove that Mr. Blaine’s nomination is out of the question, and. as most of them feel a more lively intcrest in the action at Cincinnats than in that at St. Louis, their discussions abound in speculations as to how Mr. Blaino’s influonce will be controlled. They are of opinion thathe will use all his power to frastrate the nomination of either Mr. Conk- ling or Mr. Bristow. They count Mr, Morton as sub- stantially out of the field, and they regard the Hzraxo’s suggestion that the Blaine influence may go to Wash- burne as probable, though many profess to think that Hayes would have the better chance of falling heir to it. It must be said, howgver, that all opinions and specu- lations here are just now tolerably worthless. People think in Washington at this moment pretty nearly what their wishes lead them to, and everybody is some- boay’s -partisan. It is not possible to form |: an accurate judgment, because the atmosphere is disturbed; objects a seen «out of proportion, and because also the combinations are carefully kept secret and conjecture has little or no base to rest on. For instance, it is taken for granted that Messrs, Conkling and Bia!ne, having years ago fallen out, are still bitter onem{os and antagonists, It may bo so, but the supposition rests on no recent acts or hints from oither of the two, and if, as has some- times been hinted, they have “mado up,” of course speculations based on their mortal enmity are seriously disturbed. Again, it has been supposed all along that Mr. Bris- tow, the favorite of the Fifth avenue conference, was the irreconcilable antagonist to Senator Morton, tow- ard whom Mr, Bristow’s leading supporters profess extreme hostility. Yet it is confidently asserted in private here by persons who arc usually accurately in- formed that there isa close alliance between Messrs, Morton and Bristow; that the two have had confer- ences, especially since the President is supposed to have shown favor to Mr. Conkling, and that Mr. Morton has taken such offence at this Presidential discrimina- tion as to agreo Mr, Bristow shall have h:s strongth if he himself is forced to abandon the ficid, Those who tell this tale add that tho Indiana delegation is promised to Mr. Bristow whenever Sen- ator Morton shall cease vo wish its support for himself, and they think it significant that some counties in Kentucky have elected Morton delegates. Of course such a combination as th:s would make many conject- ures futile, Mr. Conkling’s friends meantime are cool and confident. They say that a great deal of the newspaper talk about tne strength of the candidates is without foundation, and will so prove on trial at Cin- cinnati; that they have never overestimated Mr. Conk- ling’s strength, but know what it is and where it lies; that the threatened opposition in New York will prove futile, and that so far all their expectations and calca- Jations are justified and lead them to the confident ex- pectation of his nomination at Cincinnati, It is coniidently reported hore this evening that Mr. Blaine has an arrangement with Governor Hayes, and will, if he bas no chance for himself, throw his forces for him. THE ST. LOCIS NOMINEE—A PROMINENT WEST- ERN DEMOCRAT ON WHAT WILL BE REQUIRED OF HIM—THE STATES NECESSARY TO HIS ELECTION—THE CAPABILITIES OF TILDEN AND BAYARD CONTRASTED. An influential and promment Weetern democrat who arrived here to-day reports that thero is a good deal of hostility to Mr. Tiiden’s nomination in the West and Southwest, but that it is generally accepted in those parts that the democratic candidate must be able to carry New York. Whoover can do that will receive their votes for the nomination. “If it is clearly demonstrated to the Convention that Mr. Tilden can carry his State, we will go for him,” he said, ‘But there 1s no concentration of opinion on any one man as yet, nor will there bo until after the Cincinnati Coavention fas dons its work. The two weeks which we sball have after the repablican candi- dates are in the fleid will be used tor goneral and close consultation and a careful review olf all the circum- stances, It seems to me clear that we are to carry the election by the votes of the South and of New York, Connecticut, Oregon and California We can- not expect to carry Obio. They have made fools of themselves there, and we mean to lose Ohio, Wo must give up the whole West to the Rocky Moun- tains.” “That means Tilden, then.’? “Not as a matter of course. You must not forget that the man in nomination must carry not only Now York, but the whulo Soath, excepting only South Caro- lina, Now, it is possible to nominate a man who might carry New York and might lose some Southern States. The majority in somo of those States js not great A certain percentage of loss through apathy or dislike, while it might not lose us States in which we are strong, might hagard or loso some others, and there are none to spare, Remember, too, what the conditions are. Our candidate may win easily, even if he should offeud some Western sentiment. That is not geing to hurt him; we do not expect him to carry much of the West, If he can carry the South and New York he is our man, Bayard can do thas as well os Tilden, they say. He can carry the Soutn more certainly than Tilden, and so far as that is concerned he is the more available candidate, If be ean carry New York as certainly as Tilden, then I should say he was the stronger candidate of the two. The talk about a man being objectionable on any ac- count to any part of the West is of no importance, therefore, We can afford to lose the West, it it is necessary, ana don’t mean to be demoralized about it, Our plan of campaign is very simple. We need not lose Indiana, Bayard and Hen- dricks, for instance, would carry that State against the republicans, and Hendricks could not re- fuse to take the second place if he were put there by the Convention. Such a ticket would be very strong, and such u ticket is very possible. It needs only w be shown clearly that Bayard can carry New York.”” ‘This was the end of the conversation, THE CURRENCY QUESTION—THE BANKING AND CURKENCY COMMITTEE AUTHORIZED TO RE- PORT AT ANY TIME. The resolution whose purpose is to allow the Com- ‘mittee on Banking and Currency to report at any time ‘was passed to-day by a large vote, some of those sup- porting it wishing the Silver Bill to be Introduced early and others being willing to allow the committee, if it wishes, to report a repeal of the Resumption act, which they would then yote against, The Western soit money men have been complaining that they have not had fair play, and the Eastern democrats do not want to excite hard feelings and therefore gencrally voted to let the committee report. It has been for some days rumored that Mr. Cox, the chairman of the committee, has prepared a speech favoring the repeal, and that in New York city politics he bas formed an alliance with Mr. Kelly and Mr, Schell, pases WEEE EL TE FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasurxatox, June 6, 1876, THE TRANSYER OF THE INDIAN BUREAU PRAC- TICALLY ACCOMPLISHED—IMPORTANT RULING OF MR. SPRINGER AS CHAIRMAN OF THE COM- MITTEE OF THE WHOLE—PASSAGE OF THE IN- DIAN APPROPRIATION BILL BY THE HOUSES The trausfer of tho Indian Bureau to the War De- partment may be looked upon as an accomplished fact now that the Indian Appropriation bill, which has been under discussion for several days in the Houso, has been perfected and passed as it was this afternoon by the operation of the previous question. The second section of the bill contains a provision making the transfer which it was thought necessary to introduce in this connection in order that it might secure the sanction of the Senate, where the passage of the indo. pendent or separato bill is despaired of, It will be rememberod that tho friends of the meas- ure souglit to achieve their purpose by introducing it im the Legislative Appropriation bill as soon as they learned of the probably fatal opposition of tho Senate to the transfer bill, but the amendment embracing the transfer proposition was ruled out of order by Speaker Kerr. This samo difflculty ‘was presented to Mr. Springer, who bas been in the chair pending the aiscussion of the Indian Appropria- tion bill, Ho took the question under advisemont last Saturday, when the point of order was raised by Pro- fessor Seelye, and rendered his decision to-day. In ‘view of the previous ruling of Speaker Kerr on the Legislative Appropriation bill Mr, Springer had a doli- cate duty to discharge, but his ruling was at onco ac- cepted, and acquiesced in without dissent, It had been urged by Professor Seelyo that this transfer was not within the rule providing that no provision incorpo- rated in an appropriation bill changing an oxisting law shall be in order unless it be germane to the eubject matter, and shall retrench expenditure. Mr. Springer held that on the faco of the imposition itself, tho abolishment of a large number of offices, the salaries and expenses of which amount to over $200,000 annually, was retrenchment, and the duties of these offices being transterred to an- other branch of the government, the section was, in the light of existing treaties with and laws governing the Indians, germane to the subject and in order. Mr. Kerr had been apprised of the nature of what Mr. | Springer’s decision would be, and he promptly con- curred it, Tho Indian Ring wrestied with Mr. Springer in tho interval since Saturday to induce him to rule against the section, and they are quite disconsolate to- night over the passage of the bill with this to them ob- Jectionab!o and insuperable measure involved therein. THE LEGISLATIVE, JUDICIAL AND EXECUTIVE APPROPRIATION BILL—AN ATTEMPT TO RE- VIVE THE CIVIL SERVICE SCHEME. An additional embarrassment to the acceptance by the House of the Legislative, Executivo and Judicial Appropriation bil! as it will have passed the Senate, was furnished to-day among the numerous amend- ments made to it already by the Senate Committee on Appropriations. Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, offered one which contemplates the reviving of the civil service examinations and an appropriation enabling such action, for the want of which it willbe remembered the functions of the Board, hitherto existing, were proclaimed by the Presi- dent to have been brought to anend. It was sug- gested among the Senators that perhaps this was a reflex of tho late Fifth aycnue movement in New York. Those who take a moro strictly political anda shrewder view of the subject say that it is absurd to think of handicapping the republican party at this time with such a dead weight, when patronage and the hope of receiving it will be such a strong incentive to zealous party co-operation and industry, OFF FOR CINCINNATI IN THE INTEREST OF VARIOUS CANDIDATES. The republican Senators and members who are to at- tend the Cincinnati Convention will leave here to- morrow evening at half-past five o’clock. Conspicuous among the former wil: be ex-Vico President, now Senator, Hamlin, of Maine, and Senator Jones, of Nevada. the former goes to look after the interests of Hayes first and Blaine next; the latter will assist'in marshailing the forces of Senator Conkling. All the republicai members from New York who can get away will go to help win the nomination for Senator Conk- ling. GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. Wasutxetoy, June 6, 1876 THE BOOKS AND ACCOUNTS OF THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT—THE ALLEGED DISCREPANCIES IN THE FINANCIAL REPORTS—DIFFERENT 8Y8- TEMS OF BOOKKEEPING RESPONSIDLE—Ey- ERYTHING COMPLETE AND SATISFACTORY. ‘The report submitted to-day by Mr. Sherman, in be- halt of the Senate Finance Committee, concerning the books and accounts of the Treasury Department and alleged discrepancies or altertions therein is extremely voluminous, embodying a large number of detailed Jetters and explanations furnished by the Sec- retaty of the Treasury, and containing or referring to numerous statements of accounts, &c., which are not susceptible of condensation and which would oc- cupy many columns in print, The committee describe in detail the system of accountability provided by the statutes and say :—‘‘So far as the safo keeping and cus- tody of public money covered into the Treasury 1s con- cerned it would be aifficult to point out a better modo than that provided for by the present law. Every safe- guard that has been suggested has been furnished. No, Jaw can prevont the neglect or violation by comptroilers auditors of registers of their public dutios; but the guards and checks upon such misconduct are as perfect as human ingenuity could devise, The only changes in these laws that the committee recommend are to authorize the Treasurer to be credited with unavailable sums charged to him, but Jost, throagh no fault of his, vy the robbery, &c., of his subordinates and of the United States depositories; and to provide for covering into the Treasury all “trust funds” on which the inter. cst alone is to be disbursed for the beneflt of others, 80 that its expenditure may be under the general safe- gaard of the law, only to be paid out im pursuance of ‘an appropriation by Congress, In this connection the committee refer to the sum of more than $28,000,000, which is charged against the Troasurcr as being on de- posit under the act of 1836 with the several States, Inregard to apparent discrepancies in the Treasury accounts the committee point out among other things that the Treasury account shows only the warrants paid, while the appropriation account shows all war- rants issued, It is further shown that the financial reports at differ. ent periods have been made up according to different systems of bookkeeping in various respects, and that the same is true a+ to the monthly debt statements, The detailed explan: cies that have been turaished to the committee by Treasury Depar.ment aro found complete and satisiac- tory, and no change is recommended in existing system, which is to be the growth of the ex- perience of the department since its organization, In 7, 1876.—TRIPLE SHEET. one of the letters which are embodied in the report Secretary Bristaw rays ” “In no instance hus have been only to express with greater accuracy the precise con- dition of the public accounts as shown by such books and records.” THE BELKNAP IMPEACHMENT. MOVEMENT OF DEFENDANT'S COUNSEL TO VACATE THE DECISION ON THE QUESTION OF JURIS- DICTION—-THE ACCUSED REQUIRED TO PLEAD TO THE MERITS—ACTION OF THE COURT RE- GARDING THE DAY OF TRIAL. Wasuincton, June 6, 1876. At one o'clock legislative business was suspended, and the Senate resumed consideration of the articles of ‘mpeachment against W. W. Belknap, late Secretary ot War, the accused, with Messrs. Biack and Blair, of his counsel, and the managers on the part of the House of Representatives, being presont. Proclamation was made by tho Sergeant-at-Arms, and the journal of the session of Thursday last was read. Mr. Epmonps, of Vermont, inquired what was the pending question, The Pxesipent pro tem. replied it was the order sub- mitted by Mr. Whyte, of Maryland, on Thursday last, which was read by the clerk as follows :— Ordered that William W. Belknap ix plead further or answer the articles of imp: teu days from this date. Judge Black, of counsel for the aceusod, said ho would ask leave in the absence of one of his col- leagues, Mr. Carpenter, to present a motion drawn up by that gentleman, and which he would have submit- tod himself if he had been able to attend the court to- day. ‘ Judge Black then handed to the Clerk and had read a motion, as follow: SENATE ov Tue Unitep States Sittixc as 4 Count or Im- PRACHMENT :— ‘THE UNivep States or Amenica vs, Wintiaw W. Bet kNar.—Here in court comes the said W. W. Belknap and moves the Court now here to vacats the order entered on the record of this ease, setting aside and holding as naught the plea fof hi elknap, by him first above in thi cause plea dorder way not pas with the coucarre the Senators and voting upon the question of adopting and pas order, as appears by the evord In this ex reby ordered to binent within Tho Chair announced that the question would first be put upon the order submitted by the Senator from Maryland (Mr, Whyte). Mr. Blair, of counsel for the accused, sald it occurred to him that the voto should be first taken upon the motion submitted by the counsel for the defence, His colleague, Mr. Carpenter, by whom this pleading bad been drawn up, was unable to attend court to-day, in consequence of illness, He was not contined to ‘his bed, but his physician had ordered him to remain in his'room. He therefore asked a short indulgence, in order that his colleague ‘might take part in the argu- ment, ‘The defence had no idea of any dilatory mo- tion io this matter, It seemed to be tho impression throughout the country, juuzing by newspapers, that the defence was seeking in somo way to delay action; such was not the case. Nothing was to be accomplished by delay, but all the defeuce wanted wos a fair trial, ‘Tho question being on tho order submitted by Mr, Whyte it was amended, on motion of Mr. Sherman, by striking out the words “is hereby ordered’ and in- serting in licu thereof “have leave to,” so as to read, “Ordered, that Mr. William W. Belknap have leave to plead further or answer,” &c. Pending discussion, Mr. Manager Lord submitted the following :— Resolved. That in default of answer to the articles of im- pexchnient within ten days trial shall proceed as upon = plea of “not guilty.” Mr. THURMAN, of Ohio, said he would move the prop- osition just submitted by Mr. Lord as an amendment to that of Mr. Whyte. ‘Mr. Caxistiancy, of Michigan, asked {f it was the in- tention of the Senator trom Ohio, by the orders sub- mitted, to cut off the right of the defonce to argue the question of the invalidity of the recent order of the Senate on account of its not baving a two-third vote, Mr. THURMAN replied that that question could be argued at any time, though it could not be decided un- til the Senate came to a tinal decision of tho case. Mr. Epmunps said he did not wish to be bound by the question of tho Senator from Michigan or the roply of the Senator from Ohio, Judge BLAck said it was not necessary to provide a penalty for dofault by anticipation. 1t would be time enough to prescrite a penalty attor the default was made. The answer would probably bo in by the time specitied, Mr. Logan had tne eighth rule read, which provides for tho niing of an answer by the defendant, and in case of default the trial shall proceed as upon a plea of not guilty. ManaGwr Lrxpx said that the managers belioved dilatory motions had beon indulged in too long and without precedent, He could tind no precedent, either in England or in this country, for dilatory pleadings, He referred to the case ot Judge Barnard and others, and argued that if the Senate should continue to hear diiatory pleas the trial would never end. Mr. Biarm said the only dilatory piea filed by the de- fence was that in rogard to jurisdiction. JupGK Biack said he did not admit that to bea dila- tory plea. Mr. Buarm (resuming) said the defenco was forced into trial without proper time for preparation, and now they asked to be heard upon the question of the valid- ity of the order adopted by the Senate, He did not think the judgment of the Senate could stand in accord- ance with legal precedents. ‘To-morrow or next day the defence would be ready to procced with the argu- ment, and he hoped the Senate woud not take snap judgment upon them. Mr. Lyxpx said the managers had no objection to in- dulging counsel in auy proper motion, but they wanted some time fixed for tru Judge Biack said he agreed with the Senator from Ohio that the motion filed by the defence to-day could not be decided until the final dotermination of the case, but the deience should have the privilege of arguing the question at any time, The decision of the Senate on the question of jurisdiction was in fuvor of the defendant and not against him, as there was a bare majority in favor of it and not the necessary two-thirds vote. He argued that it required a two thirds vote to express the judgment of the Senate as a collective body, Less than two-thirds was like the vote of one- halt of ing it established nothing, Manager Laruam eaid all tho managers desired to have was.an operative urder in the case a8 to what should be the future course of the pleading. He agreed with the defence that the question of a two-thirds vote being necessary to assert jurisdiction was available to them at any stage ot the proceedings, Tho managers had no desire to cut off that question. They were pre- pared to meet it, but they did want at this state of the case to put defendant in & posiion where he must either upswer or go to trial. Belore the vote was taken on Mr. Whyte's order, he submitted anothe order that the Senaie, sitting as a court of ympeachmeat, adjourn until to-morrow ut one o'clock P. when arguinent shall be heard upon the question subinitted by counsel for the defendant. Mr. Locax, ot Iliols, said betore a rote was taken on that order the convenience of the counsel and the managers should be consulted. If the Senate was going to take the management of the whole case into tts own hands they had better retire jor consultation as to what kind of an order sbould be made, The vote was then taken on Mr. Whyte’s motion to adjourn until to-morrow, and it was rejected—yeas, 18; nays, 23. ‘tne question then recurred on the amendment ot Mr. Thurman to the original order of Mr. Whyte, to the effect that, in default of an answer by rospondent avithin ten days, the trial sball proceod as upon a pica of not guilty. Judge BLAck said he did not see any special necessity for the amendment, but he had no special objection to it ‘The vote being taken on the amendment, resulted 31 yeas and 6 nays. As no quorum voted, the Sergeant-at-Arms was directed to request absent Senators to attend. After a short time the vote was again taken on the amendment of Mr, Thurman, and it was agreed to by the foliowing vote:—Yeas, 35; nays, 7. | Messrs. Logan, Spencer, Morrill, of Maine, and many other Senators opposed to jurisdiction, did not vove when their names were called. Wurrx further modified his order to read as ‘that Mr. William W. Belknay f impeachment within ten days from defani newer to merits within The order, as modified and amended, was agreed to— yeas, 33; nays, 4. Mr. Manager Lorn mitted an order that, on tho 11th of July, 1876, the jute, sitting as a Court of Im- chment, will proceed to hear the evidence on merits in the trial of this case, Mr. Lonp said the son for fixing July 11 was, that the witnesses were scattered. They were on both sides of the Continent. They might be gathered together by the lst ot July, but there was no doubt about wing them here by the 11th of Miy. The House of tatives was anxious that this trial should net presen’ erfere with public business. wo pe moved to amend the order by inserting of July 11. endment. an amendment to insert Mi June 19. Mr. Morton said there ought to be some opportunity afforded Senators to be heard on this question. Ho did not want thia trial tobe spread over the whole summer. Manager McManon sald the managers could be roy be June 1% Tne motion of tho Cuairman of the Managers to put it off until July was to ac- commodate the public business. Mr. Montox moved that the galleries be cloared and the doors tunity for copsaltation. Mr. Mrroweu1, of Oregon, i give the W's counsel Recessary to prepare for the trial it. Buare said that counsel for the accused had no It on the but be did think rages ms a = not thinl = fence thought did not bear icles of impeachment. If those ined the witnesses should be exami would need a class of witnesses not attainable age" a In Justice to the deiendant, trial shoal ———_————$—————_ “ ————$—$ be postponed until the next session of or to a special. session of the Seni for that purpose. If the propositions belore the Senate should be voted down he gat tice that he would submit a motion to adjourn the trial over until the lst day of November vext or the 6th day ot December, He did not see any public ne- cessity for going on witb the trial now, and the cone VYemienee of ali parties would be served’ by postponing it until November. General Terry, now commanding an important expedition, would be needed as a witness for bis clicat, and be could not be brought bere before next fall. Mr. Mornint, of Mame, satd the question of Oxing the time for tis trial was au importapt one, and in the imterest of public business the Senste should have a consultation on the subject. He moved that the gale Jeries be cleared and the doors closed. This was agreed to, and ata quarter to three P. M. the Senate went into conference. At twenty minutes past three the doors were re- epened, and the Chair announced that an order had been agreed upon as follows :— DECISION OF THE COURT, Ordered, That ou tho Gib of July, 1876, at one o’cloct P. M., the Senate, sitting as @ court of impeachment, wil proceed to hear the evidence on the merits of the trial im this euse. Mr, Buare submitted a motion that an order be made directing the managers, on the part of the House of Representatives, to furnish within twenty-four hours to the accused or his counsel a list of the witnesses they intend to call, together with the full particulars of the facts which they expect to prove by them, Mr. Lonp objected to the order, and said it was with- out precedent or reason. Mr. Manager Laruam said all the material testimony * the part of the prosecution was known by the de lence. Mr, Bram said there had been much testimony in re- gard to the case taken by the Judiciary Committee of the House, and of this counsel for the defence bad no been advised. ‘They bad called upon the managers tot it, but were refused, Mir. TroRMAN inquired if there was any precedent for the order asked for by the defence either in a court. impeachment or court of ordinary jurisdiction udge BhackK—No, but there ought to be one made, (Laughter.) He argued in favor of the order, and asked if the managers intended to take the defence b: surprise. The detence was for specding the case, wanted no dilatory inotions, He hoped the omy a8 would not hang back now thst they hada time tix for trial, and thus put the defence ina position wher¢ they would be compelled to ask for another postpone ment, Mr. Laram said the specifications were very distinct and clear, Judge BLack—We want you to state the particular facts and the names of the witnesses by whom you are going to prove them. He contended that the witnesses, for the prosecution were all witbin reach, while those for the defence were scattered all over the laud. Mr. Lox inquired of Judge Black what bis practicg In this regard was when he was Attorney Gener: Judge Buac d he never had a secret in his life whou he was prosecuting anybody. Ho stocd utterly amazed now that there should be an objection to the demand of counsel for the defence. Toe prosecution gecmed to be lying in ambush to tako the defendant ‘whon he was not prepared; take him by the beard and strike him under the fith rib, Must everything give way to the intense desire the House of Representatives baa to couvict this unfortunate man? Tho motion of Mr, Biair was rejected, Mr, Suxnaax, moved that the Senate, sitting as @ court of impeachment, adjourn until July 6. Manager Lorp hoped that thg Court would not adjourn without making some provision (p receive the answer of the defenitant at the end of ton days, Mr. SHERMAN then withdrew bis motion to adjourn, and Mr, SARGENT submitted an order, directing the mane agers to furnish tho’ defendant or his counsel, within twenty-lour hours, the list of witwesases they intend ta call in this case, * Mr. Epaunps moved to amend the order by insert ing “four days’? instead of “twenty-four hours,” Agreed to. Mr. Manager LapHam said the managers could furs nish the list of witnesses that they might know of at the time, but they did not want to have any new wit- nesses which might be discovered after the list was furnished, ruled out because their names were not on the list Mr. Epuunps moved to further amend the order so as to have the’managers furnish the defendant within four days a list of witnesses, so far as at present known, &c. Agreed to, Mr. ToveMmay said the State had some rights as woll as the defendant. He moved to further amend the order so that the respondent within four days after re- ceiving the list of witnesses from ths managers shall turnish the managers with a list of his witnesses, so 1a8 as at present known, Mr. Bayanp said the list upon either side must be incomplete, and ho saw no ugein having them fur nished, Both tho managers on the part of the House and the counsel for the accused stuted they did not object to furnish tho list of witnesses, und so the amendment of Mr. Thurman was agreed to, and the order passed as amended, On motion of Mr. SaxRmax, the Senate, sitting as ¢ Court of Impeachment, at twenty minutes to five ade journed until the 16th inst. at twelve o'clock, it being understood thatthe court would meet that day to ro ceive the answer of tho respondent under the ordes adopted.
