THE DAILY EV EKING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1867. COSCJKKS9IOWAL, PROCEEDINGS. Th following are tne Congressional proceed. tiga of yesterday, continued from our Fourth JHitioni Washington. February 11. Senate. Mr. CHANDLER, of Michigan, moved that the Fen ate take up the resolution offered by him on Saturday last, Instructing the Judiciary Ooramittee to wuoiurr anarew jonnson, vice Ptesl- dent and aotlng President of the United States, had any authority to appoint provisional (to Ternors for the States lately In rebellion. Mr. Chandler eald: I think this resolution li very Important at this ilme. If the President hud no authority of law vnder the Constitution to appoint provisional Oo- '"r iuo riaies lately in reblllon, then the kuuuu vi muse urovernors rails. There hare been so government established over these States, and the inception Itself was Illegal. Now, sir, I desire uiai vuo uuramiitoe on me judiciary should make an early report upon this subject. It Is due to the President, and It is dne to the country, that these riuw bubii om seiuea, ana settled at an early day. am not a lawyer, and am hardly competent to decide for myself, still less for the senate, whether tker was any snch authority. We know, Mr. President, that when Andrew Johnson, through the bnlletof J. Wilkes Uootb, kecame President of the United States, the reheU kad laid down their arms, and that all of these rebel States were held by military powers; and ander this military power Andrew Johnson h id right to appoint military governors, not only for very one or the States lately In rebellion, but for very city, had he seen fit so to do. The laws of war are as well. understood as the written Consti tution or the laws of peace. They regulate, go Tern and contrel all civilized nations. When Mr. Lincoln desired to create a govern. TJSent in Tennessee he appointed Andrew Johns n Brigadier Oeneral In the army of the United State, and as Brigadier General In the army of the United States be appointed him Governor ot Tennessee. This he had a right to do as Commander-in-Chief of the army. Bot, sir, It Is another, and a very dif ferent thing to a appoint a provisional governor. I believe, sir, that it Is an olltce unknown to the Constitution and laws of oar government, and an otlice which, In my judgment, he had no authority to create. Those governors were not sent to the Senate for confirmation, nor would it have made them any more governors if w had confirmed them; because the Senate and Andrew Johnson together conld not have created the ollloe if tnere was no authority of law. Then, sir, it required the House of Kepresentatlves and the Senate and Andrew Johnson nnlted, having first enacted a Jaw creating the ollloe, before an officer could be thus appointed. Now, Mr. President, under thn laws of war, as I have said, he had a right to hold these States by military power and force. These laws ol war have been changed from age to age. They are arbitrary; they are simply the will of the conqueror. Under the laws of war In ancient times, prisoners of war were remorselessly put to death. The laws, from age to age, became modi fled, but as late as the year lsifi, as late as the month ot July, lt?iifl, the laws of war empowered the conqueror to levy all the expenses of the war upon the conquered. When Prussia conquered Austria she not only took from Austria what pro--vinces she desired to take, but she actually com pelled Austria to pay thirty millions of florins for the expenses ot the war. When Austria annexed Jranklort-on-tbe-lYIain, she made Frankfort pay lor the expense for conquering her. Under the Jaws of war the conquered must submit to the will of the conqueror, and the United States had a per fect right, under the laws of war, to make these rebels pay the whole expense incurred by this go vernment in putting dowa the rebellion. Mr. President, If Andrew Johnson, In violation Of law, in violation of the Constitution and with, ont authority under the laws of war, has assumed and exercised power that did not belong to him, out which belonged to Congress, then I do not hesitate to say, and I say It with deliberation, that lor this one act, and It alone, Andrew Johnson should be Impeached. I say it, sir, as one of his judges. I say It understanding the force of what I say; that It be is guilty of this one act of usurpa tion if this one act was without authority of law or of the Constitution or the laws of war, then, sir, lie should be impeached. The judge on the bench has the right to say that If the man before him was guilty ot murder then he ought to be hanged; if he "was guilty of horse stealing then he should be sent to the State's prison. The judge has a right to say this; and I have a right to Bay that If Andrew Johnson Is guilty of this usurpation with which lie is charged, then he ought to be impeached for that aot, and that alone. But, Mr. President, there are other allegations made against Mr. Johnson, acting President of the United States. It is alleged, Mr. President, I know sot whether It be true or false, that Andrew John son delivered over the property seized from rebels in railroad rolling stock throughout the south; that be delivered over this property without au thority of law, to the rebel railroad agencies; and It is alleged again that the railroad rolling stock cent from the north to the south, amounting to many millions of dollars in value, was, without authority ot law, and in violation of law, br ex press order of Andrew Johnson, sold on credit to those rebel railroad organizations. If this allegation be true, then I say that Andrew Johnson had as mnch right to put his hand into the Treasury of the United States and take out so many millions of dollars as he had to sell that tock to the southern railroads on credit, and for that -act, if be be guilty, I say he should be im peached and removed. Sir, this Is a government of law, and the President is a mere executive officer to carry out the law. He Is sworn to obey and execute the law, and if he fails in that duty he Is amenable to the law, the same as any other in dividual in the United States. It is alleged, again, Mr. President, and I know Slot whether the allegation be true or false, but it is alleged, that Andrew Johnson, without authority of law, and in violation of law, ordered the col lection of the direct tax levied upon those rebel States to be stopped. I know not whether this be "true or false. The allegation Is made, and If it be true if in violation of law and against law he ordered this thing to be done then for that act Andrew Johnson should be impeached and removed. It Is likewise alleged, Mr. President, that An drew Johnson has, in direct violation of the Con stitution, which says he shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators con cur, and that be Bhall nominate, and, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors and other public ministers and con suls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United Slates whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided lor, which shall be established by law I say it Is alleged he has Violated this provision of the Constitution. The Constitution has appointed as his advisers the Senate of the United States, and the Senate of the United States must advibe as well as consent. The Constitution so declares. Now, sir, it is al leged that, in direct violation of this clause of the Constitution, he not only has not advised with the Senate, bat be has deliberately appointed men who Lave been rejected by the Senate. I know, sir, It may be said that this thing has bean done before, and it is as true, sir, that In two or three instances Oeneral Jackson did reappoint men who had been rejected by the Senate. 1 do not hesitate to say that for that act of usur pation General Jackson should have been im peached by the Congress of the United States. But, sir, I will pass that over, and come to an other allegation yet more startling. It is alleged and I know not whether it be true or false, but it Is alleged that Andrew Johnson made appoint ments dnring the recess of the Senate by removing the incumbents, and during the late long session of Congress did not send the names to the Senate at all, but on the adjournment ot the Senate, with, out consulting the Senate, and in direct violation of the Constitution and of bis oath of olOce, he re. appointed those men, never having sent them to the Senate at all. 1 know not whether it be trne or false, but it it be true, then I say Andrew John. Boll kbcnld be impeached for this one act, and fur it alone. Sir, if the Congress of the United States permits uch a violation of the Constitution to go unpuu lshed. then the Congress of the United States should never meet again. The British Parliament watches the least encroachment ot the kingly powers upon the rights and privileges of Parua ment, and If any king or minister had been entity ot anv one of the acts alleged anainst An drew Johnson he would have bsen impeached iorthwlth. Mr. President, much has been said, both in this body and before, the people of the country, about the plan of the President. I would like to ask any member of this body what right the President has to have a plan, outside of the law ot (hinaressl The President has aright to advise Congress what Tilan it shall adopt; so has everv Individual in the tjnited Suites the same right. If Congress sees lit to adopt the plan of the President, well aud good, It becomes the plan of the nation! If Congress sees tit to adopt ine pian ui jouu Junes, -wno, by petition, si vines Coagress to adopt it, then John Jones' nirni becomes the plan of the nation! But if Don. cress dec Lines to adopt the plan of John Jones or of Andrew Johnson and it is immaterial which . ,. num-raiis to the ground. Sir, I have heard enough about this Presidential .i what right ha Andrew Johnson to a vlaa i..., ,.. hAjn reiected .by Congress! II has so &oro ttgol UiftB IB koine. Pl&n has been r. Jected, and It amounts to notntng. Iwantto har to more of the President's plan. Let the Presl dent of the United States obey the laws, and it be don't obey the laws let him disobey them at his peril that's all. Bat, sir, there is a dread that we, In executing our constitutional powers, will bring some dreadful calamity upon this great nation. Mr. President, this nation has come victorious out of the most terrible rebellion the world has ever seen. It has fongbt Jeff. Davis for four long years, sustained as he was by the Inhabitants of the rebel States. It has conquered the rebellion, and now see what fearful calamity could be brought upon this nation by our exercising our constitutional rights. Mr. President, the removal of a man who has violated the Constitution of the United States, and who ought to be removed, I care not whether he be President or the United Slates or occupying the chair which you so ably till, I care not what position he occupies, the removal or that Indi vidual by impeachment would produce about the same amount or excitement in the country that the removal of the custom-house officers In the city of New York would produce, and no more. Sir, this people have declared, and that decree hns been registered on high, that this nation shall stand; and no man, no set of men and no combina tion of men, 1 care not whether headed by Jell'er eon Davis or by Andrew Johnson, or by any other living mnn no man, and no combination or men can overthrow it. It will stand against any and every assault that can be made upon It. 1 hope my retolntlnn will be taken np. Mr. DIXON, of Connecticut, said it was true, as Mr. Cimndier had said, that it was Important to know whether the President ot the United States bad exceeded his authority in appointing provi sional governors. He agreed to that, but perhaps he should not agree with Mr. Chandler as to the propriety of ottering a resolution of this kind, and then calling upon the House of Kepresentatlves to impeach the President. It struck him (Mr. Dixon J, while listening to Mr. Chandler, that he (Mr. Chandler) was not adding very mnch to his reputation as an Impartial judge. Iff struck him that, if the House should draw np articles and send them to the Senate, the Senator from Michigan, after the speech he bad just made, could hardly be an impartial judge of the merits of the case. Whether such remarks were proper at this time it was ior him (Mr. Chandler) to de termine. If it was desirable to know whether the President .had any right to appoint provisional governor tit must be Important also to know what were me pieceueutB upou the subject. Therefore, when the resolution was belore the Senate, he should offer nn amendment to extend the Inquiry to mr. Lincoln's auministrauon also. The motion to take np the resolution was oat and agteed to. Mr. cunjness moved to amend by striking out the word "vice" before President, and also the words "uctlng President," so as to make it read "Andrew Johnson, President of the United States," ice. Mr. CHANDLER said he was informed that "Vice President and Acting President was the true title by which Mr. Johnson should be addressed. It was immaterial, however. Mr. CONN EsS said the Constitution made the Vice President the President to all Intents and purposes, and he hoped the Senate would not in any formal proceedings of this kind adopt any language which would detract irom ine nign dig nity of the Presidential office. He desired this amendment to be adopted without any reference to the subject matter at all that did not enter Into the argument. Mr. HOWARD regarded the phraseology or his colleague (Mr. Chandler) as correct. He thought it better and more precise than that suggested by Mr. Conness. The Constitution does not declare that the Vice President shall become President in case of the death or removal or the President; it says that the duties or the President shall devolve upon the ice r resiaent, etc. Mr. CONNESS, or California, said that in the history of the entire proceedings of the Senate no resolution could be louna caning upon iur. joun son for Information In which he was addressed in the language of Mr. Chandler's resolution. Mr. I tSSEWUiiWi of ixiame, agreea wun lur. Conness as to the proper language of the reso lution. He had no objection personally to the re solution. All he had to say was that, If he was a member of the Judiciary Committee, to which it was proposed to reler this resolution, he should nesitate to act at, tui in me manor, xiw wuum uui investigate and would not report, for the simple reason that an investigation was going on in the House looking to the possible impeachment of the President, auu when this matter was under con sideration in the House he would not investigate it here. He would retrain not only from expressing, but from forming an opinion upon anything that might, by any possibility, be included In any charges made in the Mouse oi itepresentauves. Since this matter had been discussed in the public pnper8, he (Mr. Fessenden) had had but one rule on the subject, not only not to express an opinion, bnt to be careful not to form an opinion, or make any Investigation whatever of anything which might tend to make np his mind. It must be dis agreeable to any Senator to be called npon to make the investigation proposed in this resolution when be felt that he might possibly be called upon to sit as a judge upon charges growing out ot it. He made these remarks simply to express to the Senate bis notion that in the present condition ot affairs it became every Senator to be extremely cautions, not only with reference to what they say, but with reference to allowing their minds to be influenced by what possibly they might have to consider In a judicial capacity. He regretted, therefore, that the resolution had been offered, although as be was not called upon to act on it, it was not a matter for him particularly to interfere with. Mr. POMEROY, of Kansas, spoke in a strain similar to Mr. Fessenden. He hoped Senators wonld not incapacitate themselves from acting as impartial judges in case the impeachment should come before them. Mr. GRIMES, of Iowa, moved to lav the reso- latlon on the table, and the motion prevailed with- ' out a call of the yeas and nays. on motion of Mr. mukuain, oi new York, the Secretary of tne Senate was Instructed to request the Clerk of the House to return to the Senate the bill amendatory ot the postal laws. This bill, which modules the charges Tor money orders, and provides lor the appointment of a su perintendent of foreign malls and other subordi nate officers in the Post-omce Department, was passed by the Senate after the Executive session or Saturday, when, aa appeared from statements maae to-day, mere were bat eignt or ten benators present.

Mr. WADE,ot Ohio, called np the Joint resolu tion offered by him, proposing to amend the Con stitution by making the President Ineligible for re-election. The Judiciary Committee propose to amend the original resolution by striking out all after he enacting clause and inserting the follow ing: "No person elected President or Vice President who has once served as President shall alterwards be eligible to either offic." Mr. DIXON, or Connecticut, was willing to vote for this provided it be so worded as not to reflect upon the present Executive. He hoped that it would bo so amended as to read: "hereafter no person elected," &c. Mr. WADE bad no objections to making it per spective In Its operations. Mr. POLAND, ol Vermont, wonld agree to the proposition provided It were so amended as to make the Presidential term six Instead of roar years. Mr. SUMNER favored the proposition, bnt he thought a still more Important amendment In the Presidential term would be to provide ror the elec tion ot President by popular votes, instead or by the Electoral College. Pending the consideration or the above subject the clerk ot the House returned the hill relating to postal Ibwr, which was taken np. The vote pass ing the bill was reconsidered; some unimportant amendments were adopted and the hill was passed. The Senate took a recess till seven P. M. Evening Setsion.

Mr. BOYER, of Pennsylvania, presented the report of the minority. Both reports were ordered to be printed. Mr. ELIOT, in connection with it, reported a bill for the re-establishment ot civil government in the State of Louisiana. A discussion arose, participated in by quite a number of members, as to what position the bill should take ao aa to have a chance of being con sidered this session, there being already in the way a special orders, by unanimous oonsent, the Re construction bill, the bill lor the equalization of bounties, and the bill to deolare valid the procla mations ot the Presdent in the prosecution of the war. Mr. ELIOT'S fcour was consumed without ar. riving at any itttUlacwry solution, d JlatUly He moved the pravlons question on the bill, saying he , would leave the House to dispose of it as It thought 'The'lloose seconded the previous question, the vote, by tellers, being 79 to 70. Mr. BlNOHAM demanded the yeas and nays on ordering the main question. The yeas and nays were ordered. At this Juncture a movement towards that snes of dilatory motions knowa as filibustering was started on the Democratic side of the House, Mr ELDKII0E moving, at half-past two, that the House do now adjourn, and Mr. RANDALL, of Pennsylvania, moving that when the House ad journ w-dny it be till Friday next. The yeas and nays were ordered on both motions, when the SPEAKER stated that he could not, under the Constitution, put the question on Mr. Randall's motion, as neither Honw could adjourn more than three days without concurrent aouon of both Houses. Mr. RANDALL suggested, good humoredly, that If the Speaker had had the knowledge before, It would have saved the House some trouble. (Laughter ) The SPEAKER replied In the same spirit that he had had that knowledge before, but had not understood what the gentleman's motion was. Mr. RANDALL withdrew the motion, and the House proceeded to vote by yeas and nays on the motion to adjourn. The House refused to ad journ yen 31; nays 120. Mr. LE BLOND, on behalf of the Democratic members, suggested that the bill go over till to morrow, when It can be printed and debate com mence. Mr. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, objected; as that would imply a reconsideration of the vote seconding the previous qnestlon. Mr. ELIOT appealed to Mr. Stevens to with draw his objection, stating that It was very hard to call npon the House to vote on this bill without any chance of debating it. Mr. STEVENS Insisted on his objection, re. marking that it was also very bard tor committees to be incubating for a week or two, and then to tind everything addled. (Laughter.) Mi. FARNSWORTH moved to reconsider the vote seconding the previous question. Mr. ALLISON moved to lay the motion to re coreideron the table. Negatived 65 to The motion on reconsidering was then voted on by tellers, and resulted yeas 04, nays 68. So the vote seconding the previous question was not re considered.! Mi. ELIOT desired to make a remark, but Mr. ALLISON objected, and the Speaker ruled that debate was not In order. The House then proceeded to vote by yeas and nays on oraering ine main question.
