MiIMM iIiiPEAOHMERT . TBIAL. WAsUU GTox, April 9 The Court -commeneedet the.nsual The Chief Justice asked if the Managers. had any further evidence. Mr. Buller, on the part of the Managers; called Mr. W. H. Wood,. who wassworn. Mr. H. Wood, of Alabama, testified that he had served in the Union army; called og,the President in December, 1E46, to ask f6r Government ettiployment. [Mr. Butler said they designed to prove by' this witness the President's hostility to Congress.] Mr. Wood then narrated his conversation with the President, in - the course of which the latter said he could not do anything for witness, as it appeared his Influence was cast on the aide of Congress; and those whom he appointed must side with him. Cross-examined by Mr. Stanberry.—Had not said to a Mr. Cappell, of this city, that his evidence would be more to the advan tage of the President than in the interest of the Managers; had not been instructed by the Managers to state anything which be could not faithfully say. On re-direct ex amination it appeared there had been a misunderstanding on the part of Cappell, which witness corrected by saying the Pres ident had ndt told him there would be a tax of 25per cent. on his salary, for the sup port of the Administration. Foster Blodgett was appointed in 1865 Postmaster at Augusts. During the recess of the Senate in 1866 he received another. In January 1866 he was suspended by the President, and does not know whether the Senate has been notified of this action. The letter of Gen. Thomas accepting the appointment as Secretary of War ad inter im, was then put In evidence, and Mr. But ler gave notice that the managers would life the-certificate of proper officers, to show that no reasons for the suspension of Blod gett had over been sent to Senate. Mr. Curtiss commenced the opening argument for the defense by allud ing to the character of the trial, and to the oaths taken by the Senators in their capacity of Judges. He Said the only ap• peal he should make would be to the con science and the reason of each and every judge, basing his arguments solely on the question of law and fact. He intimated that he would subsequently combat the position taken by the managers that this body was not essentially and in fact a court, but, at present, he would consider the articles sep arately and In their oral.. The substance, the gravamen of the charges of the first eight articles was that the removal of Mr. Stanton was, and was intended to be, in violation of the Tenure-of-Office act, and of the Constitution. He argued to show that the case of Stanton did not come within the scope and provisions of the Tenure-of Office act, maintaining that the description of his office and its tenure differed materially in the section and in its proviso. Stanton was appointed by Lincoln In 1862 to hold the office during the term for which he was elected, and not to hold It during the sub• sequoia term for which he might be elected. It could not besaid that Johnson is serving out the term of Lincoln. The term for which a President Is elected is not abso lutely four years, but Is limited by life and ablility. His conditional term expiring, the Vice President succeeds to a new term, which consists of the remainder of the term for which the Vico President was elected. .As well might it be said that one sovereign served out the term of another whom he succeeded. There was a purpose in the difference of phraseology between the section and its proviso' The Constitution authorizes the President to cull upon members of his Cabinet fur ad vice, respecting matters concerning his own duties us well as respecting matters con nected with their various departments, and such had been the invariable practice since the foundation of the government. They were the voice and hands of the President, in them he was to . repose confidence, and for them he was to be responsible, for this reason they were placed by the Tenure-of office bill in the same position as the Presi dent, by whom they were appointed. They were to serve out his term of service, but as to others holding over the case was dif ferent. Mr. Curtis then, proceeded to show what the feeling end intention of both houses of Congress was, in the framing and passage of this bill, maintaining that they were in accord with the views ho had just express ed. Ile quoted from speeches, explaining the report of the Conrail tee of Conference made by Mr. Schenck Also, from speeches of Sherman, Williams and others in the Senate, in which they denied that either the purpose or effect of the bill was to keep Stanton in office. He read these not as ex pressions of indivdual opinion, but as ex planations of the report of the Committee of Conference. Returning to the consideration of the ar ticles, he said the sixth section forbids any removal contrary to the provision of the net, but as Stanton did not yield, there was 310 removal, and if there bad been, it would not have violated the act, mince ho had just shown that, Stanton did not come within its provisions. The House of Rep resentatives charge the President with in tentional violation of this section, which unquestionably admits of different con structions, but they fail to prove that he concurred In their interpretation, and then wilfully acted in contravention of it. The first duty of the President is to construe an act and decide what is its true meaning. This duty he performed as the constitution provided, by consulting with his constitutional advisers, and they all put the same construction upon the act in ques tion as had been assigned to it by its framers. WAsitlNcrroN, April 10 SENATE.—The Court opened at noon Thu galleries are about half filled, and Con Sherman again occupied a seat on the floor Mr. Curtis . , of President's counsel, re mimed his argument. The charges made in the second article were then discussed, and be proceeded to arguothat Stanton did not come within the provisions of the section alleged to be viola ted. He said the first two sections of the tenure of offico act referred to removals and suspensions arising from any cause during a recess of the Senate, but the third applies only to vacancies caused by death or resig nation. Tho penalties prescribed in the llfth section were directed solely against violations of the third section. The present case, he claimed, was outside of its provisions, but, said Mr. Curtis, the nmin charge of this article is, that the letter of authority was given without authority of law. Alter reading the act of .1105, he (Monied that it applied to vacancies of all kinds, and tho act of February 20th, 1803, applied only to vacancies arising from sick ness and temporary inability, and only to that extent repealed the former, under which the President bad full authority for the account referred to. In reply to the charge made in the third article, that the designation of General Thomas as Secre tam of War ad interim was in violation of the Constitution, Mr. uustis cited the acts of 1792 and others, which authorize the temporary filling of vacancies without making any distinction between vacancies occurring during a recess, or when the Senate Is in session, and said the practice of the Government bad been uniform in filling vacancies as soon as they occurred. The eighth article Mr. Curtis claimed was met by his answers to the third, and he pro ceeded to consider the fourth charge made of appointing General Thonitas without ad vice and consent of the Senate could not be sustained because no appointment was made.; a simple commission to act ad in terim, was not an appointment and could not, of course, be submitted to the Senate; the allegation that no vacancy then existed is a beginning of the question that the va cancy was created as soon as Mr. Stanton received the President's order removing him, and this vacancy could properly be contemplated by the President at the time of writing, General Thomas' letter of tailor authority recapitulating his argument. Mr. Curtis then claimed he had shown that the managers could not maintain their charges of violation orate Constitution and laws, and proceeded to consider the vari- WS charges of conspiracy, and for this pur pose he would take up the fourth and sixth, and fifth and seventh articles together. The fourth and sixth, which charge a conspiracy between the President and General Thomas to obtain by force and intimidation, pos session of the War Office and the Govern ineut property, one based on the conspiracy act, which by its terms had no application to ally individual In the District of Columbia, for it speaks only of the States and Terri tories of the United Slates, but it was not necessary to rest the answer upon this ground. In a case of private right no one would deem the issue of authority to en agent to assert it a sufficient basis, fur e charge of conspiracy, still less could it be alleged of a public right. The order was besides based on the assumption of mili tary subordination. The fifth and seventh articles would be answered by his arguments against the tenth. Mr. Curtis then claimed that the charge made in the ninth article, not only failed of proof, but was absolutely dis proved by the testimony of . General Emory, who swears to having introduced the sub ject and drawn out the President's opinion. It would appear in proof that the President sent for him for entirely a different purpose from that alleged in the article referred to. WASHINGTON, April 10. After Mr. Curtis had concluded his very able argument, the Senate, or "High Court," then took a recess, nominally for fifteen minutes, but as usual the body did not reassemble for nearly halt an hour. After order had been restored, Mr. Stan bery called Gen. Lorenzo[: Thomas, Secre tary of War ad interim, and that gentleman appeared, and was sworn as a witness. He was examined very minutely by Mr. Stan bery in regard to his military life, after Which the matter of his appointment as Secretary of War ad interim, was brought before the Court. General Thomas an swered all questions in a clear, straigtfor ward manner, which gave evidence of the honesty and sincerity of his statements. After detailing what occurred between Mr. Stanton and himself on the day he was ap pointed Secretary ad interim, he was asked by Mr. Stanbery to state what was said in the conversation he (the witness) had with the President immediately after Mr.. Stan ton refused to vacate the War Office. The This question was objected to by Mr. Butler and the chief Snake directed that it should be 'reduced to wilting. Mr. Butler then procedeed to, argue that the proposed testimony was inadmissible, on the ground that It was simply allowing the President to make evidence for himself, after the conal mission of the act .with which he stands charged.. so ., mi. Mr. Stanbery replied that it was designed to show that tbePretd dent never directed Gen. Thomas' to use easy force to get.posseßiott of the War Of f fOuld therefore:Admissible in order, to negative the allegation that he contempla ted thietiOort or Mr. Stanton from the War ~Depertikkent byforOa. ' Butler again .amtendelithet the teetintouysought by the _ 5 .. . sas Tizin - TAANCASTEIt'W -- _ ..a. 7 ' question would not be competent evidence, - and in the course of his remarks got Sadly. out of temper exhibiting bad manners as well as bad idleasof the law of evidence.— Mr. Everts, in afewwell.timed and Pointed remarks, soon destroyedallof Butler's blus ter, and accordingly that redoubtable indi vidual subsided, and Mr. Bingham attempt ed to show that it would be contrary.to.all principle and every rule ofevidence to allow the witness, who, be said, had conspired with the President, to give in evidence the declarations of the latter, OM., dm. The dis cussion rested here, and the Chief Justice, submitted the question for decision to the Senate. The yeas and nays being ordered thereon, resulted—yeas .42, bays 10; so it was decided that Mr. Stanbery might ask the witness what was said by the President after Mr. Stanton had refused to vacate the War office. The result of the vote, on the proposition, surprised nearly everybody present. Even Sumner voted in the affirm ative, and when he responded " aye " to the call of his name, there was a suppressed laugh, both on the floor and in the galleries. The examination of Gen. Thomas was re sumed, and the question indicated above was put to him by Mr. Stanbery. The witness stated that the President- never directed him to use any force whatever to gain pos session of the War Department. He simply desired to have the matter settled by the courts. On further examination, General Thomas negatived a number of allegations made by the managers, and In the articles of impeachment, as well the inferences sought to be drawn from the testimony of witnesses of the prosecution. His narra tion of what occurred at the War Depart ment, between Mr. Stanton and himself, when ho demanded possession thereof, was exceedingly plain 'and simple; the account ho gave of how Stanton followed him into General Shriver's room, asked for the latterik bottle, poured out what liquor there was in it, and took a drink with the witness, created great laughter. Mr. Stanbery, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity, asked Gen. Thomas if this (referring to the social drink) was all the force he (Thomas) used on that oc casion? Gen. Thomas promptly responded in the affirmative, and then followed another outburst of laughter, which seemed to make even Butler ashamed of himself. At- ter Mr. Staubery had:concluded the exam ination of the witness, he was cross-exam ined at length by Mr. B. F. 8., who still insists on taking charge of the case himself. Now and then Bingham asks a question, or Stevens suggests one. Boutwell, Wilson, Williams, and Logan, have little or noth ing to say. Wilson has sense enough to know that he is mixed up in a bad, very bad case, and the presumption is he would like to get out of it if he could. . WASITINOTON, April 12. The impeachment trial was largely at tended yesterday, and opened with an ap plication on the part of the House mana gers (Mr. Bingham being the spokesman) for an amendment to the twenty-first rule, in order to extend the privilege of speaking on the close of the case to as many on each side as desire to be hoard. This proposition was made to accommodate both Stevens and Logan, but notwithstanding that laud able.(?) motive, the "impeaching Senators," who are anxious to dispose of the case with as little delay as•possible opposed it, and on an objection from Conkling, the subject went over to another day. Gen. Thomas then reappeared on the stand to correct some por tions of his testimony given on Friday. He had erroneously stated that on the 21st of February, he received from the hands of Mr. Stanton, a letter forbidding him to act as Secretary of War; that paper ho did not receive until the next day (twenty-second), and hence, he could not have shown or mentioned the letter to the President at the interview on the 21st of February. Accor-', dinghy he muds the correction as above- stated. In cross-examining the witness, Butler pursued the same low style of inter rogation which has marked his course since the commencement of the trial, and for which he enjoys an unenviable notoriety; even in the courts of Massachusetts. He endeavored to make it appear that General Thomas had wilfully mis stated facts on his previous examina tion, and labored hard to confuse the old soldier, and entrap him into self-contra diction. General T., however, answered the questions put to him with a frankness and candor which bespoke the honesty of his intentions, and the sincerity of his na ture: Wherever he had been led into er roneous statements by the adroitness of the unscrupulous individual who cross-exam ined hits, he did not hesitate to correct them, and after all Mr. Butler's disreputa ble efforts to extract from the lips of the witness something which might possibly assist the partisan posecution he utterly tailed in so doing. After General Thomas had retired front the stand, Mr. Stanbery called Lieutenant-General William T. Sher- Main, and that gentleman advanced to the Secretary's desk, and was sworn as witness. His appearance on the stand attracted gen eral interest and attention, from the Senate and the galleries. He was examined by Mr. Stanbery with reference to his business, Ac., in Washington last winter. He answered frankly, thereby giving assurance that he would freely state all he knew on the subject matter of the investigation. After stating that he had several interviews with the President, during the months of December and January last, he was asked by Mr. Stanbery what was said to hint (Sherman) by the President, with reference to the removal of Mr. Stanton P The effect of this question, if answered, was to show the "intent" of the President at that time, and if there has been any purpose to use General Sherman unlawfully or improperly, to disclose it to the Senate and the country. The managers, however, through their spokesman Butler, objected to the question, well knowing what the answer would be. The admissibility of the question was then argued at length on each side. Mr. Stanbery cited cases of English courts,alsoßutler's opening speech, charging an attempt to use Gen. Sherman as a 1 " part of the conspiracy," and, lastly, the testimony offered by the managers of the Alabama office-seeker and the telegraph to Governor Parsons—all of them long pre vious to the affair of the 21st of February. Mr. Stanbery was about to state what he expected to prove by General Sherman, when he was interrupted in a way no one can conceive of who has not seen Butler in a court when hard pushed on law and facts. This piece of rudeness was quietly rebuked by the learned counsel, but the rebuke made no impiession on the brazen-faced pettifogger; although it was relished by a large majority of those who heard it. Upon the conclusion of the argument, the yeas and nays were called on admitting the question propounded to the witness by Mr. Stanberry, and it was ruled by a vote of 28 to 23. Among those who voted in favor of allowing it to be put were the following Re publicans, viz.: Messrs. Anthony, Fessen den,Fowler,Grimes, Morgan, Ross,Sprague Sumner, Trumbull, Van Winkle, and -Wi ley. The next question related to - another charge made against the President, and was as follows: "In any of the conversations was any thing said to you (Sherman) about the Department of the Atlantic." The man agers again object, and the Senate sustain them, thus closing Sherman's mouth the second time. Mr. Stanbery then asked the witness if the President had ever tendered him the position of Secretary of War ad in terim This was likewise objected to by the managers, who seemed to fear that General Sherman might say something that would destroy the fragmentary case to which they are clinging with the desperation of drown ing men. The Senate however admitted the question, and the witness responded that the President had twice tendered the of fice to him, ,on different days and that he had twice replied in writing. Following up the answer, Mr. Stan bery asked the witness to slate whether anything further took place in regard to tender of the office. The response would have thrown light on the purpose and ob ject of the offer by the President. Butler, therefore, objected, and after a brief discus sion the Chief Justice ruled the question ad missible, but the yeas and nays were called for, and resulted—yeas 23, nays 29. So the objection of Butler was sustained, the Chief Justice overruled. and Gen. Sherman' •.s sealed for the third time. The next que - tiou related to what the President said con cerniog his intention to test Stanton's right to hold the War Office before the Court, was incorrectly put, in a leading form, and therefore ruled out -by a large majority, Senator Henderson, of Missouri, in order to get some light on the subject of these inter-views between the President and Gen. Sherman, proposed the following ques tion in writing to the latter, viz: "Did the President, in tending to you the office of Secretary of War, ad interim, express to you the object of so doing?" The interrogatory, corning from the quarter it did, seemed to astonish Butter and his co-conspirators. They whispered for a moment with one an other, and then objected. to its admission. The Chief Justice put the question to the Senate. The yeas and nays being ordered thereon, resulted—yeas, 25; nays, 27; so It was ruled out. Thus theimpeachers mani fested their intolerance, even more strougly than ever, by refusing to allow one who is generally supposed to be with them, to obtain a simple fact upon which he might be able to give a more intelligent vote. The lips of General Sherman having been sealed fur the fourth time, and the counsel of the President denied the only means in their power of proving what took place at these important interviews between their client and the witness, they were com pelted to suspend all further questions in that direction, and permit General Sherman to leave the stand, stating, however, at the time, that they reserved the right to recall him, if they should think proper, ate future day. The conduct of " the managers" and the majority of the Senate yesterday is re garded on all hands as the grossest injustice, and the opinion is freely expressed that it will do the impeachment "conspiracy" more harm than good on the final vote. WASHINGTON April 13. SENATE—Chief Justice stated the question to be on the motion, allowing as many of the managers and counsel to participate in the final debate as may wish to do so. Mr. Sumner offered an amendment pro viding that no further poStponement shall be caused thereby, which was accepted by Mr. Frelingliuysen.' Before the vote was taken Mr. Williams, of the managers, spoke in favor of the mo tion. He was followed by Mr. Stevens, who said he would desire to speak briefly in support of the article which he had been instrumental in introducing, and would also be glad to havesome of his associates sttorded - an opportunity to speak. •• Mr.Treptsghuysen modified his motion by, addingS proviso, that only one of the managers could close. Mr. Sherman offered a further amend ment, that the additional time allowed to each side shall not exceed three hours. Mr. Bontwell opposed the restriction lim- Ring the close to one manager. Mx. Stanbery.strongly opposed any limi tation of time to be allowed for final argu- Mantic, Mr. Sherman - then - withdrew hie amend- - ment. Mr. Butler intimated that in no case would he take an advantage of a chance to speak again. Sumner offered a provislo that all the managers who speak shall close: ' Mr. Everts bald ifthe rule were enlarged, four of the PresidenVe counsel would prob ably take an hoar, but he considered It un fair that they should be met by six oppos ing them, and certainly that they should all have to close. Mr. Williams moved to lay the proposi tion on the table. The vote, was taken, re sulting 38 to 1, so that the rule remains un changed. The examination of Gen. Sherman was resumed, and Mr. Stanberyasked, after the restoration of Stanton, did you form an opinion as to the desirability, and for the good of the service, of the Office of Secre tary of War being filled by another than Stanton, and if so, did you express your opinion to the President? Objection was was made and argued by Mr. Bingham. Mr. Stanbery replied that the question of intent was of vital importance. They did not Offer this testimony as an abstract opinion, but as the judgement formed and expressed by the second officer in the ser vice for its good. He referred to the rela tions existing between the President and Stanton, and claimed it was competent to prove that distinguished generals like Grant and Sherman believed a change should be mace in the interest of the Government. He appealed earnestly to the Senate, for the sake of justice, to admit the evidence. Mr. Butler rejoined, that by introducing irrevalent testimony the law would be broken, to defend a breaking of the law he said there will be no limit to inquiries, which could be put to the witness and managers could ask him if belied a quarrel with Stanton, if that circumstance influ enced his opinion, dcc., and so the field of inquiry would be boundless. He said it seemed to be assumed by the other side that an evil intent must be proved by something which the President had said; whereas, his evil intention was sufficiently proved by his act in threatening the law. It was also immaterial, whether Mr. Stan ton was or was not a fit man to be retained in office. The evil could not be done, that good might come, referr4rig to a remark of Mr. Stanbery, that Mr. Stanton did not take part in Cabinet counsels. He said there was no such thing contemplated by the Constitution, and members of the Cabinet were to be called on for advice respecting affairs of their own departments. The {resident must show thatbe had over galled on Mr. Stanton for a written opinion, or that he had given him an order which he had disobeyed. Mr. Conkling inquired if counsel pro posed to prove that Sherman had advised the President to procure a change in any particular way. Mr. Stanberry replied in the negative. The witness had only expressed an opinion as to the durability of some change. On conclusion of Mr. Bingham's re marks, the yeas and nays were taken, and resulted 15 to 35, so it was not admitted. Mr. Johnson offered a question whether the witness before the removal of Mr. Stan ton, had advised the President that he should be removed and replaced. The Chief Justice said the Court must de. tide whether the question should be Tut to the witness, and the Senate decided in the negative by a vote of 18 to 32. Ir. Statiberry then said ho had no more questions to ask Gen. Sherman. The man agers declined to cross-examine, and the Court took a recess at 2.10. WASHINGTON, April 13. On reassembling, R. J. Meies, Clerk of the District Supreme Court, testified that he affixed the seal to the warrant for the lir rest of Gen. Thomas, About 2 o'cloCk bn the morning of February 22d, Mr. Pile, of Missouri, brought it to him at his house. In answer to Mr. Butler he said he had been called on at such an hour before of cases of pressing necessity. Mr. Stanbery then offered to put in as evidence, the warrant and affidavit of Mr. Stanton on which it was issued. Mr. Butler objected to their objec tion. Mr. Everts said they related to the same subject in which the Managers had introduced testimony, and that the Presi dent's counsel intended to show that he took advantage of the proceeding commenced by Stanton, as the speediest method of bring ing the question before the Supreme Court. Mr. Butler argued, in reply, that the ef fect of introducing these papers would be to open at the new regime of controversy, and irrevelant to the case. Mr. Stanberry referred to the fact that the declarations of General Thomas had • been admitted in evidence as declarations of the President to prove his design of em ploying force, and went on to recite the circumstances attending the discharge of General Thomas, which, he said, they would show was ordered so as to prevent the Pres ident from testing the question. The evi dence would also show that Gen. Thomas was not regarded as ii,.great criminal by those who procured his arrest. Mr. Butler rejoined, when the Chief Jus tice ruled the warrant and affidavit were admissable, and on taking the yeas and nays his ruling was sustained by. 34 to 17. Mr. Evarts read the document, and Mr. Stanbery resumed the examination. The warrant was issued in chambers; has not the docket-book with him. Senator Johnson then offered this ques tion to be put to General Sherman—When the President tendered you the office of Secretary of War ad interim on January 27th, 30th and 31st, did he at the time of making such tender, state what his pur pose in so doing was. Objected to and submitted for the decision of the Senate. The yeas and nays resulted 26 to 22; and so the question was put and answered, yes. Senator Johnson then offered the addi tional question, " Will you state what ho said his purpose was?" Objected to, when the Chief Justice ruled that the question was admissible as it tended to show the import of the President's action,•and in ex pressing his opinion remarked that this Court was not bound by the same restric tive rules in admitting evidence as some of a different character. The yeas and nays were demanded, and resulted 26 to 25, so the question was answered. The conversation was long. The Presi dent told the witness that the relations be tween himself and Stanton were such, that he could not have the office , administered properly in the interests of the army and the whole country while Stanton held his position as Secretary of War. In the desire to promote and care for those interests, the President says he offered witness, the posi tion of Secretary ad in,teetrim Witness asked the President why he did not have a case_ made up by his lawyers, so as to bring about a change without involving witness, an offi cer in the army in the matter, The President replied that it could not JAI( done ' but if it could Stanton's case c ,-Wbuld not stand an hour. The question was hen asked by Mr. Stan bery, have you arm , ered as to what occur red on both occasion Objected to, on the ound that witness had been dismissed froin the stand, and that, therefore, the examination could not be renewed. The Chief Justice ruled that it could be, and a decision by the Court being called for, debate ensued between Messrs. Everts and Butler. The latter in the course of his re marks having by his tone and manner in saying, " The question was put by the Sen ator from Maryland, not as counsel for the President," seemed to insinuate the con trary. Senator Johnson rose, and in a very em phatic and nervous manner repelled any insinuation that he disregarded his solemn duty. Mr. Butler insisted that he meant no sar casm, and Senator Johnson expressed him self satisfied. Mr. Stanbery conducted the argument in defence of the claim that counsel had a right "nue the examination. Ingham followed, and in the course , uments said the testimony of wit , so far been injurious to the res • and that his counsel wished to imine him in the hope of eliciting ig better. Mr. Bingham also main ., at some length that it was in the ~wer of the President to procure a judicial Settlement of the case by means of a quo warranlo. Mr. Evarts remarked that they were Or fectly satisfied by the evidence given by the witness. The Chief Justice again expressed his opinion that witness could answer Senator Johnson's question. Have You answered as to both occasions? Witness said, that at the first interview nothing very definite was said by either the President or himself. During the conversation the President ex pressed a wish to have the constitutionality of the Tenure of Office law decided. He also said to witness that if he accepted the posi tion of Secretary ad interim. Stanton would make no resistance, because he knew him to be cowardly. Witness gave no positive answer at the time, but sent one in writing. Senator Henderson put the question, "Did the President, on eitner occasion, express a firm determination to remove Stanton from office?" Witness replied that the President never exprCssed any intention to use force, but seemed determined that their relations should cease. Senator Howard asked—' President say about force ?" Witness repeated what he said before in relation to the President's belief that Mr. Stanton would make no resistance. Senator Henderson asked whether wit nesOgave the President any advice on this subject. "What did the The Senate, without a division, refused to admit the question. The Managers then notified Gen. Sher man that they would require his attendance in the morning, and he left the stand. General Meigs was recalled, and produced the docket book, from which he read the entries relating to the Stanton-Meigs case, and the Senate adjourned at 4.45: Dr. Livingstone Alive - • LONDON, April 8-Evening.—All doubts of the safety of Dr. Livingstone, the African explorer, are now dispelled.

A tract of coal land, containing three hundred and sixty-one acres, known as "Partnership," In Rueh township, Schuyl kill county, has been sold by U. S. Mar shal Eilmaker for $130,250 to John M. Marie, of Philadelphia. Wo'rk on the Jefferson railroad through Warren county, Pa., is progressing as rap idly as the inclement wheather in that re gion will admit. It is expected that by the Ist of May the road will be in running order. The Philadelphia North American says strawberries and tomatoes from the south. ward are exhibited in the windows of the fruiterers. The former are as sour in taste as they are beautiful in appearance. The price asked for them is equal to or more than their weight in silver. The bill antorizing the increase of the cap ital stock of the Pottstown Market Com pany from $lO,OOO to $20,000 has passed the Legislature and been signed by the Gov ernor. As the stock has all been sold, the Company will of course proceed at once with the work of building the market house. The boating season has now fairly opened on the Schuylkill canal. Freights are plen ty, but the rates of transportation are too low to be remunerative to the boatmen. The charges on coal from Scuylkill Haven to Philadelphia are $1 per ton, and to New York $1.90 per ton, The citizens of York-,Pennsylvania, have voted, by a majority of 173, against author izing the corporate authorities to subscribe a sum of money sufficient to purchase two steam fire engines. Illatsuch a vote should be given by the intelligent people of that borough is strange. Books of subscription to the capital stock of the Somerset and Mineral Point Rail road Company will be opened in Somerset borough on Thursday, 16th of April, and romain open three days. This ?bad will connect with the Pittsburg and Gonne:PS- There is an effort being made to build an extension of the Allegheny Valley railroad up Redbank to Brookville, and then make an eastern connection. Partieshave secur ed the right of way through Clarion and Jefferson counties, the people seeming de termined to encourage the enterprise. The Northern Central Railway Company through its Superintendent, Mr. J. N. Pu Barry, has issued an order prohibiting the sale of newspapers, candies, atc., on the cars ; and the conductors are not to be al lowed to permit newsboys to ride on the cars, except as passengers provided with regular tickets. The Selinsgrove, Pa., 'Macs says The work on the railroad between this place and Northumberland has been commenced, and quite a number of hands are at work a short distance below Northumberland bridge. We also learn that an additional subscription of $lOO,OOO has been obtained in New York city and from parties from whom still further aid may be expected. The Doylestown Intelligencer says: "The prospect for a crop of peaches the coming season is said to be quite good along the Delaware. In low situations the trees have been somewhat injured by the cold weather, but on the high ground they have sustained little damage. The indications, on the whole, at present, are favorable for a fair In speaking of the proposed new Court house at Danville, Montour county, the In telligencer says: "Our County Commission ers are moving in this matter. The precise plan has not yet been settled upon, but their purpose we learn is to erect a building cre ditable to the county, and at the same time avoid the extravagance which other coun ties have unwarily run into." A law was passed by the present Legis lature changing the mode of collecting State and county taxes in Chester and Mont gomery counties. Instead of having collec tors in each township, appointed by the County Commissioners, the County Treas urer is made the Collector, and he is requir ed to visit each district for that purpose, after giving due notice thereof. The Altoona Tribune says that some one recently ascended to the dome of the Cath olic Convent building, in that place, and with a saw almost severed the large cross from its fastening in the dome, and left it in a condition to be toppled over by the first blast of wind. Considering that to ascend to the top of the dome was a perilous feat, even in daylight, and that the cross is con structed out of lienumvitas wood, the hard est kind to run a saw through ; the under taking is certainly to be considered as fool hardy as it was dastardly.

CHICAGO, April 9.—A terrible disaster oc curred on Lake Michigan at an early hour this htorning. The steamer Sea Bird; a large boat own ed by A. E. Goodrich, took fire between six and seven o'clock, while about thirty miles from this city, and was totally destroyed. A number of lives are believed to have been lost. CHICAGO, April 9.—The steamer Sea Bird belonged to the Two Rivers, Manitowoc and Sheboygan line.. She bad made four trips this season, and was on her fifth when she met with the terrible disaster reported to day. When off Waukegan, about 6.30 A. M., fire was seen issuing from a pile of mis cellaneous freight, stored around the after guards, outside the ladies' cabin, and in ten minutes time the entire stern of the boat was wrapped in flames. From the statement of one of the rescued, - it appears that all on board became demor alized, even the officers, and no effort was made to lower the boats. The only survi vors as far as known are C. A. Chamberlain and Edwin Hanneburg, passengers from Sheboygan. The latter makes the follow ing statement : There were in all about one hundred per sons on board; including eight or ten ladies and seven or eight children. I saw smoke arising from the deck below the ladies" cabin. There was a lot of straw and some tubs lying near by, and the fire got among them. I cried fire, and the crew and pas sengers rushed from their rooms. There was great confusion, and the fire spread so rapidly as to convinceNue that it had been burning a long time. Within five minutes the after part of the boat was in flames. I don't think that all the ladles had time to get out of their state rooms, and some of them and the children must have been burned to death. An effort was made by a portietvf the crew to reach the small boats, but it-Ruled. Mr. Chamberlain states that about 6.30 A. M., he was looking over the side of the steamer, and saw a porter come out of the ladies' cabin with a scuttle of coals and ashes, and going to the bulwarks, near where a quantity of miscellaneous freight was, throw the contents overboard. In about fifteen minutes heard the alarm of fire, and saw the flames issuing from this pile of freight. It seemed •not more than ten minutes before the whole after part of the steamer was in flames. In his opinion, when the porter threw the coals overboard, the wind drove some back into the freight. He heard no explosion, and thinks if the fire had caught from a boiler explosion, It would have been discovered sooner. Captain Yates, of the steamer Cordelia, states that when off Waukegan he saw a burning steamer. He was distantfrom her four or five miles, and bore down and res cued.two passengers. He thinks it is not possible that any others were saved. We learn from one of the survivors that after the steamer took fire below, the helm was lashed hard aport, causing her to whirl round and round, as long as the engines worked. The Cordelia did not leave the wreck until it was burned to the water's edge. pint lnteilinertre. MAN FOUND DROWNED.—On Thursday afternoon, as Benj Wertz was passing along the road leading from Little Washington to Safe Harbor, near Whistler's run, he saw the body of a man lying in theSusqueban na river, near the shore. Mr. Wertz drag ged the body ashore, and gave information of the matter to John A. Brush, Esq., who summoned a jury and held an inquest on the body of the deceased. No one knew who he was, and it is supposed he was a complete stranger to that neighborhood. It is not thought he could have floated down the run, ns the body seemed not to have been in the water more than a few hours. The following description of the deceased may lead to a discovery of whom he was. He seemed to have been a man of about forty years of age, five feet eight inches in height, heavy set, and would weigh about 175 pounds. His hair was dark brown, and he wore a goatee of a sandy color. He was full faced, and a small spot on top of his head was nearly bald. On his left arm the figure of a heart was pricked in with In dia ink,• and inside of this were the letters F. R. He had a silver ring on the index finger of his left hand. He was dressed in wollen pants of a small barred figure, a wollen vest of dark satinet, wollen under shirt, cotton drawers, calf skin boots, and wollen stockings. The verdict of the jury was, that he came to his death by being ac cidentally drowned. The body was buried in the grave yard at Little Washington, in the lot belonging to Esquire Brush From the descriptionof thedeceased pub lished on Saturday, inquiry was set on foot hi regard to a man residing in this city who had been missing since Thursday last. The result was the identification of the body found as that of Frederick Reiter, a painter by trade, a resident of Middle street, near East King street, this city. The deceased was a member of Lancaster Lodge No. 67, I. 0. of Odd Fellows of this city, and to the officers of that Lodge is due the credit of the thorough and satisfactory investigation of all the circumstances of the case. These gen tlemen visited Washington yesterday and with the assistance of Esquire Brush, who held the inquest upon deceased, exhumed the body and indentified and brought it to this city. A second examination of the wounds on the head of the deceased was made this morning by Dr. John Levergood, but nothing warranting the opinion of any foul play was elicited. The deceased un doulltedly came to his death from accident al drbwning ; we are informed he loaves a wife and two children, the oldest of whom is twelve years of age. MURDER OF A LANCASTERLAY.—The fol lowing account of the murder of a Lances torten is taken from a Cincinnati paper: " A few days since there came to this city, to seek a transient asylum for herself and her two little children, a poor, friendless, suffering woman, sadly wasted by the rav ages of relentless chronic disease, and , ren dered miserably despondent by a series of disheartening misfortunes through which she had passed. The story of the calamities which have befallen her, is a pathetic one. About one year ago she left her home, near Lancaster, Pa., to join her husband, a pri vate soldier, Riker by name, stationed on the plains, near Omaha. Sho reached him, and managed to support herself by wash ing for the officers in hia regiment—for his pittance would not suffice for both—and re mained with or near him until his term of service expired. This anxious event took place about one month ago, and as soon as he received his pay, amounting to some $6OO, they and their two children left the barracks for their home in the East. They boarded a train on the Union Pacific railroad, and after traveling in this direction for a short time, the care stopped at a sta tion, and Riker and a companion got off to obtain some refreshments. Before they could return, the train resumed its journey, leaving them behind. When night came the wife, fearful of her husband's safety, stopped:at a small town, and next morning went back to where he had been left. She found him dead! He had been. foully miltdered by his companion for the money he had in his possession, and the villain who had committed the deed was far away when sho arrived. Her vision of anticipatedjoy thus prema turely blasted, she sorrowfully buried him where he had fallen; and with a heavy heart, once more turned her steps home ward. Long before she reached this city her little earnings were exhausted, and she depended on the benevolence of fellow travellers for her daily bread and transpor tation. When she arrived here, hardly able to stand, so fatigued was she, with the as sistance of a policeman, she dragged her self to the Commercial Hospital, where she thought to receive the medical attention her critical condition demanded." The Inquirer states that J. .1. Cochran, postmaster of this city, has recently received the following letter in reference to the above affair, which explains itself: SALEM, Ohio, April 2d, 1868. Mr. Postmaster; Enclosed you will find a letter •tor Martin Miller, a butcher, near your place. A woman, named Barbara Riker, was taken off the cars at this place, about two weeks ago, because she was sick and suffering so much that she could nut go any farther. She says that she is a sister of this same Martin Miller, and left your city to go to Springfield, Illinois. She had been at Mr. Miller's place some few weeks. She is so much reduced that she can tell but little about anything. She cannot live long, I think. A large abscess was, forming on her lungs whet she came here, which has since broken. She is in very destitute circumstances, and an entire charity on the good people here. She says she has no father, mother, sister, or brother (except Martin Miller) living. She has a little boy and girl with her. Yon know therefore, we are anxious to hear from her brother or some of her friends. She cannot live long, unless a great change takes place very soon. If you will make an effort to send this letter to Mr. Miller immediately, you will confer a blessing on the woman and the dear children. With much respect allow me to be yours, J. Ato/NAN Emu'. • . Brans As PUBLIC BENEWACTOE.a.—An we looked out of our,sanctum on. Monday, we saw a tiny bird Wringing to , tbelatnily 'of climbers, running about over the limbs of the maple which shades - our third,stery. -window. With sharp bright eyes'and'an 'air of alertness and practiced intelligence; - .thiilittle creatctreiiatumed ever* twig close ly; sometimes , -perched:on -the upper-side and' theaclinging below... He. was clad in a comfortable winter snit of grey, and as he repeatedly uttered libichirliing cry of chick ade-de,werecognized himas an old acquain tance. Reign° mere summer friend; coming with the violets of spring and leaving on the anpearance of the first autumnal frost. We have been cheered by his merry voice on many a wintry morning. Where be builds his nest, and how he passes the sum mer we know not ,• but suppose be still re mains with us, and thatwe forgetand over look him among MG .- crowd of migratory. birds, Which,. like pretentious and showy creatures of onr own race, monopolize all attention whiletheyarepresent. But,whilst the snow lies thick in our streets and covers' ' the - housetops in this the middle of April; little. chickade still comes with merry notes and familiar presence to cheer us. We glance through the window and catch him eyeing us long and curiously.. He is only some three feet distant. He scrutinizes us closely and critically, bat assured by the smile on our face that we are a friend of him and his race, and allured by the near pres entleof his prey, he sets to work very busily. He gives one sharp tap after another with his little bill on the bark, and seems. to be feeding on something with decided relish. His note grows merrier, and he pauses often to sing out chickade-de, chickade-de-de. How he is enjoying his morning meal! There —he has exhausted the store of food, what ever it may be, and with a farewell note or two spreads his wings and fife, to the other side of the street to examine the trees over the way. He seems to be perfectly at home in the city, and does not heed the rattle of carts over the stony street. Desiring to see what he was searching for, wo raise the window and draw to us the branch on which we saw him feeding. Here, carefully disposed on the southern side, just where they would be best protected from the cold winds of the north and most surely warmed into life by the genial sunshine of Spring, some insect, with wise instinct, had depos ited quite a number of eggs, covering them over with a coating of mucilage, which be came hardened by exposure to the air, and impervious to moisture. What class of insects these eggs would have produced we cannot tell precisely, but are con vinced that they would have hatched out some species of caterpillar toprey on the foliage, if Mr. Chickade had not destroyed- them. He has our thanks for his morning's work, and we hereby ten der him the thanks of the maple leaves, which as yet dare not peep out of the buds in which they lie folded away so Snugly. Oar little sketch has not only the advan tage of being true, but of having an import. ant moral. That is—protect the birds They are not only a thing of beauty and a source of constant joy to all intelligent minds; but they are real benefactors. We have no doubt our little friend would require many scores of caterpillar eggsto make him a fur breakfast on Easter Monday morning.: GOOD Cnors.—Our exchanges from dif ferent parts of this.and other States agree in stating that notwithstanding the late ness of the season the yield of wheat for the present year promises to be much greater than that of any previous year for a long period. The heavy snows that have char acterized the past winter have done much toward producing this agreeable result. If the past winter had been open and change able large quantities of the wheat would have been frozen out. But nature provided aso warm mantle for the growing grain, and now the long cold winter being over, the fields in all sections of the country promise abundant harvests. In those por• tions of the West where spring wheat is principally sown present appearances indi cate an abundant crop • while in Georgia and other States South the yield promises to be much larger than ordinary. The fruit crop, except in some localities, promises to be plentiful. The continued coldness of the weather until this late period having pre vented the trees from prematurely budding, no material injury can well happen to them from the frosts which may come in the fu ture. IMPORTANT TO SOLDIERS.—The State Legislature at Harrisburg recently passed a bill, which provides that the discharge papers of soldiers who served in the late war may be recorded in the Recorders Offices in each county. In this way the fact of having an honorable discharge trom the service may be preserved by the soldier; but a copy of such county record according to existing rules will not supply the peace of the original discharge certificate in case of an application to the government for bounty, land, back pay, etc., in all such cases the certificate of discharge itself must be pro duced to the proper authorities at Wash ington. Soldiers should remember this and carefully preserve their certificates of discharge from being lost or destroyed. whether they be recorded in the office of the county recorder or not. ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.—Mr. Joseph Mar tin, while driving in a top buggy on the turnpike about u mile from Oregon, this county, was shot at by some unknown per son with a pistol as he was going by the woods a fourth of a mile distant from the Landis Valley tavern. Mr. Martin thinks that the attack was made by two persons, oniof whom gave the order to halt and firellthe pistol at him, upon which he threw himself on the bottom ,of the vehicle and drove off as rapidly as possiole. After he had gone a short distance another shot was fired at him, the bullet passing quite near his person. In the same vicinity where this cowardly attack took place several like at tempts at robbery have lately been made, creating much alarm among the citizens of that section of the country.
