OF SECRETARY STANTON. 'The Proceedings in Executive Session, [Special Despatch to the Pres*.] Washington, Ftb. 21. —The President to-day went an Executive communication to the Senate stating that on'thc 12lh or August last, by virtue of the authority vested iu him by the Constitution of the United States, be had suspended Edwin M. Stanton from the office of Secretary of War, and now he had, by virtue of the same authority, re moved Mr. Stanton from that position, anil ap pointed in his place, as Secretary of War ad lute-' rim, Adjt.-Gen. Thomas, of thoarmy. TheSouatc was occupied by the consideration of Senator Trumbull's ratltlcation bill when the message was read; but Senator Conkling, who had the lloor, yielded for a motion to go Into executive session I«t half-past two In the meantime Gen. Thomas received the letter appointing him Secretary of War ad interim, and the letter dismissing Secre tary Stanton, and immediately went to Mr. Stanton's room in the War Department, where he hauded him the President’s letter of dismissal. ' Mr." Stantoui''"upon- reading'dti " said- he • would" thick the matter over aud give an answer £ood* This answer he did not give pre vious to the closing of the department at four j o'clock,-hut - order of the President, when General Thomas will appeal to the Supreme Court for a writ ot mandamus or attempt to displace Mr. Stanton by force of arms. NVnich of These things he will do cannot bc6aid, but he had threatened to-night to do the latter. Mr. Stanton remained In hit office, and ot ten o’clock he received a copy ot the Senate’s resolution At the same hour a copy of the fame resolution was sent to the Preeldenfahd General Thomas. The proceedings of the executive session, las--' iug through seven long hours, were inaugurated by speeches from Senators Bayard, BuckaTow and Johnson on the Democratic side. Senator Howe Jed off on the Republican side, and was followed by Benntors Sumner, Ilowurd, Edmunds, Drake, Chandler, Corbett, Thayer, Pomeroy, nnd others. Messrs. Drake. Pomeroy, Corbett, Edmunds aud Wilson submitted resolutions, among which was the following: ■ Rewind, That the removal of Hon. E. M.Stan-. tou, Secretary of War, nnd this appointment of General Lorenzo Tlbmus as Secretary of Wur nd interim, by the President, Is an act unauthorized •bylaw, subversive of the provisions of the Con stitution. and, iriTluyjudgmeutof the Senate, ilie _gai and void. " Also the following: litsohed, <|c., That the removal of Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War, and the appointment of General Lorenzo Thomas as Secretary of War ad interim, is an act unjustifiable on the ground of necessity to . promote the public interest or preserve the public prosperity, and is without precedent In the history of tlm Government, arid to a violation of the rights of ilie t Senate to advise and consent to the qualifications of per sons holding office, and ,1a hereby declared to be illegal and void. The debuto took a wide range, unbracing a settrebing'expoaure of the attempt- 3 of the Presi dent to evade the teuure-of-office act: but the subject of .impeachment Was notdlseunseil, and ans but briefly referred to. . Tho fSCt That the re moval is made outright, without any reasons be ing assigned therefor,-and that tho message fo the Senate aid not contain any nomination to be acted upon, but merely informed that body of the action of the President, was denounced as a fla grant violation of die tenure-of-offlee act, and tin opinion was freely- expressed that the rights ol the Senate had been outraged and its dignity in tuited. During the session a number of Republican Senators visited Mr. Stuntoo, and lie addressed a note to Senator Howard denying that he had vacated hie office, as some of the evening pupors hud Elated, and slating that he -,vak patiently , waiting the result oi the Svuale’s action. In reply b. received a letter from several prominent 'Radicals advialog him to go bmn« after locking in;- office.', :.ml give “iho enemy" an opportunity to lu-eai, ii open by force. Ili* sou traveled back end i or!ti froni the department io the.Senate,end y>t- wat-consequently kept coustamly posted rc- gording the pToeetdings. At half-past nine a. vote was taken /on a motion submitted by. Sunator Wilson to substitute tho resolution given above for tbc one offend by-Sefaator Edmunds, when it was adopted—ayes 29.nocs 6. Tho resolution was then .passed, without a division,,iand>-tho Senate adjourned. Mr. Stanton alill remathe at his post, and baa made arrangements to pass the night, and if need be, the remainder of Mr. John son’s .-tend iof office, in the War .Department, wailing for tho attacks of the Boldlery, wbl :h General-Thomas threatens will occur to-morrow morning. ; • From the thousand. and ouo stories that fill the air to-night I have sifted tho truth re-, garding tho situation, and given it as briefly as possible. The excitement is .unprecedented since the close of tho war, and the threuts of Genet U Tliomaß. taken in connection with the ominous attempt to propitiato favorwith General .George H. Thoinas by the President, in conferring on ■ him brevets, to make him rank with General Grant, is accepted by the ~public generally as foreboding evil. Tlio sober second ihougM, howevpr, brings assurance and confidence; for it is known that, with a very few exceptions, tpo army sides with Congress, and especially is this true of General George H. Thomas, than whom there are few more Radical officers In the service. The result cannot be foretold, except that to morrow morning the country will find itself pre cipitated by the action of Bb accidental President into a state of quasi civil war, or, in other words, there will bo two heads of tho War Department, one recognized by Congress and tho loyal people of the country, and the other by Andrew John son and his Coppcihcnd adherents. Itlsproba ble that Mr. Lorenzo Thomas will find himself legislated on the retired list before many days have passed, and it is certain that Mr. Andrew Johnson will find himself and his brevets snubbed by Major-General George H. Thomas about the same time. , Later.— At half-past eleven o clock this morn ing, previous to the receipt by him of the Presi dent’s order removing Mr. Stanton, General Thomas issued an order closing the War Depart ment to-morrow, Washington’s Birthday, which was signed “By order of the Secretary of War. Lorenzo Thosjae, Adjutant General.” On ac count of this order it Is possible that no conflict will occur until Monday, but tho fact that it is in force docs not by any means preclude the possi-, bility of a conflict . It ia now. past midnight and the excitement m the streets Js subsiding asthe crowds disperse to • their homes. The hotel lobbies and other public places,-however, are yet crowded. The following is the vote on the Senate resolu tion passed in executive session to-night: Yeas— Messrs. Anthony, Cameron, Cattell, Coie, Conkling, Cragin, Drake, Ferry, Harlan, Henderson, Morrill (Me-), Morrill (VtVPatter son.(N. H.), Pomeroy, Ramsey, Ross, Sprague, Stewart, Sumner, Thayer, Tipton, Trumbull, Van Winkle, Wade, Willey, Williams, Wilson, Yates. Total, 28. ' - Nays —Messrs. Bnckalew, Davis, Doolittle, Edmunds, Hendricks, Patterson (Term.) Total, 6. Of the Senators not voting there were round pairs. Senator Nve was absent In New Hamp shire, Guthrie, of‘Kentucky, resigned, and seve ral others were away, but absent Republicans, would undoubtedly have voted for the resolution had they been present. [Special Despatch to the Ledger.] The real facts are, that the Bresiden t’s action m all that has been done to-day, is purely of a civil character, and in nowise partakes of tho military. His purpose is simply to remove oue officer and appoint another ad interim; and if the first refuses to obey, the order then, probably, to test the mat ter by regular legal proceeding in the civil courts, or getting possession of the office through his ad interim appointee, to compel Stauton to seek ' liis remedy by writ quo warranto , or other proce dure that may be lawful to bring the .matter be lore the courts. General Thomas being in possession of an of fice in the building of the War Department, he is appointed Secretary "ad interim ,” and an order is issued removing Stanton, and directing him to turn over to General Thomas the papers, prop erty, &c. Thomas calls abent noon npon Stau ton, and informs the latter that he (Thomas) has been appointed Secretary of War, and has ae r ccptcd. Mr. Stanton inquired civily, “Do you propose to take immediate possession, or shall I have time to remove my papers. ” Thomas replied, “I am now Secretary ad in terim, and have possession; you can have suffi cient time to remove yonr papers.” And so tho interview ended. Alterwards the President notified the Senate,as a matter of courtesy, of what he had done. The Senate went into Executive session, and after a protracted debate adopted the following, and sent a copy to the President, which was re ceived atlO.iiO to-night. . In executive session of the Senate of the United Bta(es, February 21st, 1868: Whtieas, The Senate have received and con sidered the communication of the President, staling that he had removed Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War, and. had designated the Adju tant-General of the army to act as Secretary of War, ad interim: therefore be it Resolved, By the Senate of the United States, that under the Constitution and laws of the United States, the President has no power to re move the Secretary of War, aud designate any other officer to perform tho duties of that office "ad interim." . There is no truth in the report that General Thomas has been arrested. A general belief is expressed in public places, hotels, &c., that tho Reconstruction Committee will to-morrow agree upon a report to the House in favor of impeachmeat, based upon the action of the President in removing Stanton.. [Special to tho Aae.l The President threw a *' bombshell into the Radical ranks at tho Capitol to-day by a message to the Senate announcing that by virtue of the authority vested in him by tho ConsLUntiim of the United Stales, ho bad, on of August 'lnst. suspe.ndtd Edwin M. Stanton from the exer cise of the functions of Secretary of War; and now, by virtue oi tho same authority, lie had »‘«- moved him from that position and appointed Ad jtitant-Gonml Lorenzo Thomas to discharge the 'duties of the War Office, ad interim. At noon, as’ the contents of the moseago became known out .side tho Senate chamber,'the wildest excitement prevailed among newspaper men and others anxious to learn all tho particulars. Messrs. Chandler, Thayer, and one or two other Rarti cnl Senators started off iu “hot haste" to the Department to advise Stanton not to'vacate the office, but to hold ou, and sleep there, if no ccseaiv. They _ also called on Grant, and told him ifiut he must standby Stanton in the present emergency. The Senate went into Executive session on the subject of the removal shortly after two o'clock. After an Executive session of •seven hours the; doors were reopened, and the Senate adjourned. A resolution offered by Senator WUson declaring the removal of Stanton illegal passed by a vote of 22 to 6.. Stanton’s son immediately entered the ehambor, and was waimiy greeted by tho Radical Senators. Wade asked, “Is your father still in ?" and to an affirm ative reply, said, “Tell him it is all right." The resolution adopted was ordored tobe sent to the President and Stanton to-night. Thomas says lie will take possession of the War Department to-morrow. Stanton is sleeping there to-night. Stanton has no idea of retiring until dampened to do so, either by order of some competent judicial tribunal or superior military force. As General Thomas has notified the Prestdont of his acceptance of/the position of Secretary of War ad interim, and has also notified Mr. Stanton of the fact, and the latter has virtually refused to vacate the office, it is highly probable that tho case wiil come before tho Supreme Court ou Monday next, on a motion in behalf off General Thomas for a mandamus to compel Mr. Stautou to turn over tho office, as directed by tbe Pre sident. This seems to be tho object to-nigbt, and if carried out will doubtless result ic a decision adverse to the eohelitutlouality of the tenure of office bill, so-called, and in favor pf the President's power under the Constitution to remove civil officers in the manner proposed in ilie case of Mf. Stanton. The House Radicals are furious over the President’s ootiou, and* threaten to impeach him at oneo. The feeling iu that direction was so strong this afternoon that Butler aud BoutwelL found no difficulty whatever in having tho resolution for adjournment over uutil Monday rescinded, and leave obtained for • the so-called Reconstruction Committee to report at any lime on this new sensation. Stanton’s note to tho House, cm losing the President’s order re moving him from tho War Office, was referred to this committee, and they meet to-morrow 1 iv t the purpose of considering tho subject. la the ' midst of the excitement that how prevails, it is, of course, impossible to predict with any degree of ccrtaiuty what turn affairs will take, but titer t is nd reason to believe that any force will be ap plied to remove Mr. Stanton from the War D - partment in advance of a judieiul decision upon l bis right to return there as Secretary of ’ War. • The impeaehers, however, nssert that they have V -’1; ~v ? . jp j-# ii ' ,f,A "VST S" ifT Mfj ' ■ ?■,'■ “■ ii ‘ ; ~ -Jp f p?" fr. . , TH&OAILY BVBNINS BULLETIN.— t , mLADBLPHIA,SATUKDAY, , gEBRl T " , , ■ ■ ij ' ’«n*A: J.v ’ ' t a mre thing of it now. and only a wait the action of the reconstruction Committee tomorrow..

As soon as it. became known what the message which had been delivered contained, the Republi can Senators gathered-in knots -about thu cham ber, and, after comparing notes. Senators Came ron, Thayer, Conness und Cattoll #ero appointed a committee to wait on Mr. St-iuton and Uouefal Grant to assure the former of their support in the execution of the laws, and to learn from the latter his opinions and Intentions In the present crisis. Mr. Stanton assured the committee that be would continne in his office until; the Senate should decide upon the matter. After declaring the purpose cf the Senate to support him nudor the Civil Tenure act, the committee proceeded to tho quarters of Goneral Grant. The latter main tained his usual-reticence,but enough was elicited from him to lead the committee to infer • that ho would not recognize the President as the supreme law-giver to the exclusion of tho legislative branch of the Government. Upon the return of tho commtileo to the Capitol the Senate at once went into executive session, and remained thus until the adjournment. During the afternoon Secre tary Stanton sent to the Speaker of the House the following note announcing the receipt of the President’s order, which was • read from the clerk’s desk amid tho greatest excitement. AU the members on tho Republican .side were clam orous for impeachment at once, and on both sides of tho House there was tho wildest excite ment: _ _ . War.- DicrARTMKNT, Washington City, 1) qb. 21, 1868.— Sir .- General Thomas has just de livered to mo a cony of the enclosed order, which you will please to'communicato to tho House of Representatives. Your obedient servant, Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War. Hon. Schuyler Colfax, Speaker of the House of Representative. _ t IfiNHcimvK Mansion, Washington, Feb. 21, 1868.— Sir: By virtue of the power and authority .vested in me, as President, by-tho -Constitution and laws of the United States, you are hereby re moved from office as Secretary of the Depart ment of War, and your functions as such will terminate upon the receipt of this communication. You will transfer to Brevet Major General Lorenzo Thomas, Adjutant General of the Army, who has this day been authorized and empowered to act as Secretary of War ad interim, all records, pa pers aßd other public property now in your cus tody and charge. Respeetlully yours, Andrkw Johnson,ii? President of the United States. To the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Washing ton, D. C. The Democrats made efforts to delay the pro ceedings and tried to force an adjournment, but the Republicans were rampant for impeachment,, took advantage of the excitement, and passed, on motion of Mr. Covode, resolutions dccUrlug Johnson guilty of high dimes and misdemeanors, und referring the subject to the Reconstruction Committee. The motion previously adopted, to devote to-morrow to discussion only, was recon sidered aDd voted down, and the House adjourned abou t f> o’clock. ‘ The Senate remained in Executive session until half-past nine, when Mr. Wilson’s resolution was adopted by a vote of 29 to 6. This resolution merely sets fortli that the Senate does not recog nize the authority of the President to remove Mr. StaDton, and place another person in charge of lhat office ad interim, without the consent of tho Senate. The resolution, with the President's Message, has been sent to Mr. Johnson. Copies of the resolution have also been furnished Secre tary Stanton and Gen. Thomas. A committee of Senators was appointed to wait on Chief Justice Cartter, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and make al fidavit against General Thomas for violating tbe temire-of-oflice bill. This they did, and Judge Cartter has issued a warrant for the arrest of General Thomas, and has already placed the same in the bandß of an officer. The greatest excite ment prevails, and all are waiting anxiously for to-morrow. Tbe manner of the communication adopted by tho President in this case was to call General Thomas to tho White House, after the session of the Cabinet, to deliver the orders into his hands, to convey them-to the Secretary, with privalo in structions how to act in case of Mr. Stanton's refusal to vacate. In obedience to instructions, General Thomas proceeded to tho War Depart ment, and delivered bis ordors. The interview was courteous and friendly, and upon the Secre tary asking that time be given him to consider the'subject, thp-sfline,was politely conceded. Sub sequently General Thomas declared that he would take possession of the War Offico at nino o’clock to-morrow, and that ho should at once issue to the officers and employe's of tho Depart ment orders directing them, on pain of dismissal, to obey no directions but those emanating from him. Mr. Stanton is still at tho Department, and will remain there during the night. The result is waited for with great anxiety. As an incident, interesting in contrast with the excitement which is generally prevalent here, it may be stated that General Grant is serenely en joying, with liiß family, the important perform ances of a troupe ol Japanese jugglers, at the national theatre, this evening. ’ - - - - - ■ > - At midnight, the War Department was still lighted, and Cameron, Bingham, Dawes, Moore head. Wilson (Iowa), and other prominent Con gressmen, were in consultation with the Secre tary of War, who is still determined to continue in his position.’ The officer charged with the arrest of Thomas has not yet succeeded in find ing him. The impeachment movement is becoming still stronger. The Reconstruction Committee will hold a mtctiug early to-morrow to take into considera tion tho subject oi the immediate impeach jnent.„oOiiu._PxeeMenj, ItJA..«sflerted_by_anA tbority that two prominent members of the com mittee who 1 have heretofore been opposed toim peacbnunt.'nrc now clamorous for thu Presi dent’s immidiato trial. [Sjicrial Despatch to tho Inquirer.] Simultaneous wilh tbe departure of the Presi dent’s Secretary for tho Capitol, Adjutant-General Thomas, accompanied by General Williams, called upon tho Secretary of War and read hlin his order ficun Mr. Johnson to tako possession of the War Department, all papers, Ac., and a letter to Mr. Stanton, from- the President, to sur render the office. ” Mr Stanton laughed, and asked how summary he' intended his process to be, and if ho would have time to gather up his papers arid put on his coat. General Thomas re sponded “that ho would;” aud Mr. Stanton said that lie would like some lime to con idi-r upon it, anddesired to haven copy of the notice served upon him in writing. General Thomas then withdrew, and soon after sent in a copy of his order fiorn the President, which Mr. Stanton im mediately-had-copied-and- transmitted to the House of Representatives. The removal soon became noised around the Depin Uncut, and a general suspension of work followed, every one inquiring of someone else, “Wlint next?” “Will he go?” “What will Grant do ?" About three P. M. a committee of Senators, consisting: of Messrs.-Cameron; Chandler, Oattell and Thayer arrived, and were granted an imme diate. inieiview. t, They informed Mr. Stautou that they eaiue lit tlio request of their Republican colit agues’to ask that lie should ’not surrouder -except to physical force, and on no account to leave bis office long enough for General Thomas to move in and gei possession, eo as lo pat upon him the necessity of resorting to uuy unusual means to retain the office. Mr. Stanton replied that if the Republican party wire united upon the question, and thoy considered it to be his duty to remain, he would do so until he was removed piecemeal; that this was um his quarrel, bill that of the loyal people and he wanted it eo understood. That if they would act In the matter, aud act promptly, he would tee it through; but he was not disposed to lo ep up ibis light smglo-Uauded aud ulono The Hsnntore assured him that on this question tbs R< publican party were a unit at the Capitol, ai.d Uuy would net in tho matter before the ad joimmietit; atni that, as he had frequently spout icght after night in his office when the country was in peril, it ought to be repeated, now, tor they considered the same emergency now exists as then.

He will remain in hia office all night. • Tho Papal Zouaves, Tho Cathcdral of Notro Dame, Montreal, was on Tuesday tho acene of an interesting anil im pressive ceremony—the benediction of the Papal Zouaves before their departure for Rome. Tho doors were opened at 0 o’clock, and before seven there were probably fifteen or sixteen thousand people assembled. Pews and aisles, groaud-tloor and galleries, every niche and corner were taken possession of by tho restless, eager, swaying masses of many kindreds and tongues. "The uppearance of the Church,” says the Mi>utrea! Daih/ Nines, “affonco told tho spectator that the occasion was no ordinary one. Tho altar, it is true, with its ever burning lights.remlnded one of sacrifices wont to bejoffured to tho God of peace; bat there were other "insignia '- that recalled the ancient name of the “god of battles." From the stately columns were displayed clustering ban ners; overhead was the royal ctowd, from which linng gay festoons, spangled banners aud ever greens—a glorious canopy; out of tho centre aisle grew a pyramid,covered with pine branches, daughters of our noble woods; over this pyra mid" waved the Prince’s plume, from the ■Glowers ol' which spread out garlauds of red aud while rainbows bore the legends; “Vive Pio IX; Amour: Fidiletc.” The whole of this tasteful combination was, it is needless to say, eloquently expressive of attachment to the Spiritual Head of the Church, to the Queen and to her royal heir. The chief altar was surmounted by violet burners,issuing from the folds of which might he read the words: “Christum R*-geui. Ad'orcmus, Dominantem geulibus.’’ The gas all around the sanctuary was so arranged as to form images of Jesus, and of the Viigin, hcarts.eroc-ses and.olivo branches. The papal insignia,the key*, anil the triple crown, were also plalulv dis tinguishable, aud poured forth streams ot light. The whole scene was of superb beauty and grandeur. About half-past seven their Lordships, the Bishops, made their entrance, attended by tour hundred priests, from all parts of the province. The fine band of the Chaasenrs Canadiens striking - up an Italian military, air, the heroes of the even ing, in martial uniform, advanced with measured step beneath their azure banner, which bore the appropriate words, neath beaver and maple-leaf and battle axe and cross, “.lime Dim <:t me hat chtmin." The organ now pealed forth the grand march frotn Meyerbeer’s “Prophet.” The orchestra broke harmoniously in, aud the result was a ma jestic symphony, such as Meveroeer. himself might have delighted to hear. Tho 1 'eni Creator, that beautiful hymn which unites so perfectly the feeling of weakness and confidence, was next rendered by three hundred voices, accompanied by the orchestra. The lin.t Creator Was succeeded by tho Italiana in Algeri. of Rossini, from the orchestra, aud then came the I‘ape Ihd, ol' Gustave Smith, sung by the choir, accompanied by tho orchestra. Our space does not permit us to give more than one stanza from this composition.

Many supposed it to be occasioned by blasting-operations at the stone quarries caster the city, but tile fact was soon ascertained that the explosion occurred at the artesian well that has been sunk to the depth of 280 feet and situated about midway between the river and tho bluffs. - . ■ v The workinenat i the well-became sensible of a rcmarkshle change going on within the bore, the drill bad been working-through a substra tum of dark porous rock for. five hours, and had been makingrapld.progrcss, when suddenly the . machinery stopped, the rods- became violently sglta.cd. and a deafening explosion ensued, followed by a stream of boi’ing water, gushing. •with ralgbtyftfrce.'thfougkl «e tube from the; depths below. The startled workmen were hie ded by c'ouds of steam. George Hayes, the workman in charge of the drill at the lime, bad a very narrow escape. ' He received o, jet of boiling water m bis neck and breast, partiallytiroteeled ; by heavy •woolen clothing. Willi-,m Marks, another ope rative, waa badly scalded about the feet and ankles. Patrick Cox, Andrew Parkman and Karl Snyder, the remaining worjeraen, were but ellghtJv injured. The horses became panic stricken, and reared and pkiuged-violently, und ent mating themselves from the’harness dashed madly over the frozc-n prairie in tho direction of the bluffs. ' Tim upward prepare oi the water it. very ere at, rt-nainly not. lews? than two hundred pounds to the square inch. The mean ■tempera ture is of Reaumur's thermometer. Of cour-e all conjectures as to the extent of the *ut marine lake and the lenittb of time which the boilinq water will continue t » flow, must for the ■pmcit hepureiy'spticoiatlvc. Or. Percival, late State Gtoloj-ist, was of the opinion that far be neath the bed or the Mississippi there existed anoibcr stream flowing in the same direction of imuch greater magnitude, and whose waters were of a muqb higher temperature than the waters di the river. ’ ■ -. The well has teen visited this afternoon by crowds of citizen*', and the singular phenomena have given rise to much speculation and wonder. Many strange theories have oeen advanced. One eck-miflc gentleman who has had wide experience in geology, a 3 wcllas much practical knowledge ol mining operations, is of the opinion that the friction of toe drill has ignited some hidden re servoir of highly infiammable oil or gas, the in tense heat of which has eausedtho water to boll and ft ek an quUet tho bpro pf tUq_wel(, - Other Intelligent parties entertain widely different views, add the flowing well of boiling water bids fair to furtisb a prolific theme for scientific in vestigation. - , The extensive vineyards of Hon. Edwin Flint and George JL'Metzgar are in imminent danger •of being submerged by the boiling flood. We trast that fhe Artesian Wall Company will not be .subject to any vexatious litigation in conse quence of Utisiunforcseen andunparalleled occur rence.
