NEW PUBLICATIIIINSs,
"Ohio in the Wee is the title of a ; work
just published by. Aloore t •Wilstactt & Bald-
Win, Cincinnati. It is thevesult of the labors ,
of. Mr. Whitelaw Reid, who has devoted
more than four years of unremitting research
to the task of bringing together in this form
a complete record of Ohio's share in the war
of.the Great Rebellion. That share was a
singularly large one. Three hundred and ten
thousand of her sons entered the National !
service,' and a remarkably large proportion of
the distinguished officers of the army were
natives of, or adopted by, the State of Ohio.
Grath.; Sherman, Sherldaa, flasecrans,
Tel, McPherson, McDowell,: Mitch
Gilmore, Schenck. Garfield, linen,
and many more, were all from' Ohio,
and Mr. Reid furnishes full and interesting
biographies of each. The• history of the ad
ministrations of Governors Dennison, Tod
and Brough are detailed with•much minute
ness and • accuracy, and the whole work
Sbounds with the 'stirring intidents of the:
times,of which it treats. The second volUme
is deveted to a histOry of the different )regi-
Merits and other military organizations, in
eluding the roster 'of every regiment, thus
forrning‘a - most invaluable record of the po
sition which` every private soldier• occupied
during the var. - Some , Idea of the
Ottent of this work may be
gamed from the fact that , it
ttOVert 'more than two thousand
pages 'of' royal octavo size. ''it'is substan
tially bOund in two volumes,and sold at a
very low , price, the publisers relying, as
they well may, upon a very large sale for
their remuneration. Mr. Reid has done his
Work faithfully and in good style, and the re
sult is a noble record of the patriotic devotion
of the' Buckeye' State, of which every true
American may well be proud.. The agent for
the.work in Philadelphia is Mr. J. K. Simon,
No. 29' South Sitth street. •
C. Scribner & Co., New York, have recent
ly published two handsome volumes of the
works of J. K. Paulding, "The Dutchman's
Fireside," and the "Book of Vagaries." The
first of these is probably the most popular of
Mr. Paulding's works, and will always con
tinue to be one of the standards among
American novels. Cooper, Irving and Pauld
ing form a trio in the field of Amencan rom
ance, which can scarcely be said to have
been imitated, much less approached by later
writers, and the presentation of Paulding in
the handsome form of Scribner &
Co's publications will be welcomed
by thousands. " A Book of Vagaries
contains a number• of Paulding's writings,
the principal one being his famous
"New Mirror for Travelers." The whole
volume bubbles over with Paulding's peculiar
humor, and sparkles with his keen wit and
satire. Those who are not familiar with
rankling will find much amusement in these
two volumes, and those who are, will be glad
to have kitn In their librarlea in such comely
shape. For sale by J. B. Lippincott .& Co.
"Ecce Ecclesia" is the latest of the liter
ary progeny that have sprung from that won
derful book, "Ecce Ilomo." It is by an
anonymous writer, as all the "Ecces" are,
and is designed to establish "the identity of
the, Cimieh in all ages." The author seeks to
"'Spill:laze, or rather to identify the Old and
Hew :Testaments,. and to show that one con
tibnons thread of religious truth runs through
:He urges his views with great force,
and sustains them by clear reasoning which
aotaa entitle the'work to the careful perusal of
hoth Jew and Gentile. There is nothing sec
tarian in the writer's position, and his style,
as well as his subject, is Interesting and at
tractive. Published by Blelock &'Co., New
York. For see by Claxton, Remsen &
felfinger.
D. Appleton & Co., New York, have lately
Published -"A Stormy Life," a novel by Lady
Georgiana Fullerton. It is written in auto
biographic form and is based upon the history
of Queen Margaret of Anjou, the ill-fated
wife of Henry VI. As a historical novel,
deriving its inspiration from one of the
atoll:eldest eras of , .nglish history it possesses
much merit, the talented author carefully
preserving, throughout, the quaint simplicity
of the language of the fifteenth century._ For
sale by G. W. Pitcher.
T. B. Peterson ,Sz, Brothers have published
two more volumes of their handsome "Peo
plea Edition" of Dickens, containing "Ame
rim Notes," and "Sketches by Boz." These
form' the sixteenth and seventeenth volumes
of the series. _ _
They *pre also pnblifiked "Bleak House,"
iraheir cheap edition, paper covers, complete
for 35 cents, and the third volume of the
Waverly Novels, containing "Kenilworth,"
complete for twenty cents. This is certainly
carrying cheap publication to its extreme.
Ale Calla & Stavely have published "The
Great Work," a religious treatise by the Rev.
Robert Paul, of this city. The author ell
dently possesses a highly poetic imagination,
and ranges freely through his vast subject,
drawing liberally from the best poets for his
illustrations. The work is handsomely
printed in a bold antique type, but its typo
graphical effect is much marred by the con
stan; use of italics and capitals where they are
not.wanted.

SOIOV, SEGGESTIONSii TO GROWN -VP "
PEOPLE. '
(BY A 'RETIRED SCHOOLMASTER.)
If you wish to procure a hair-dye that
will develop a "jet and glossy blackness," or
to learn where clothing can be cut "very
genteely," you doubtless know that the de
sired information may be readily obtained
from innumerable advertisements in every
newspaper of the country. It is not at all
difficult to find means for beautifying one's
exterior, but we seldom encounter proposals
of persons to remove from us such' imperfec
tions as we, daily manifest in conversation.
How many, very many, hopelessly endeavor,
by a' reckless expenditure of dearly-earned
wealth, to be welcome in the society of those
whose more elevated position they regard
* With envy ? How few ever consider the dif
lerences which really constitute their barrier,
and reflect . that the most limited thought and
study would enable them to overcome every
obstacle! Ido not allude to the very igno
rant or entirely uneducated,but to those who,
from long habit or general indifference, have
become insensible to the nice distinctions in
current language, which so greatly influence
the average estimate of a speaker. Doubtless
With the majority, carelessness rather than
ignorance causes the gradual acquirement
and constant use of a number of strikingly
ungrammatical expressions and vulgarisms;
and the great trouble respecting mistakes of
this' character lies in the undeniable fact that
we so soon grow accustomed to all remarks of
our own and the ideas intended to be con
veyed by them,. that we become naturally
insensible to their incorrectness and the effect
produced by them upon our hearers.
A' valuable little book entitled "Five Hun--
dred Mistakes of daily occurrence in speaking,
pronouncing and writing the English lan
guage,corrected," was published about twelve
years ago, in which many ordinary errors of
the character to which I refer were biielly set
forth. This volume, perhaps not gen
erally read, seems now to be scarcely ob
tainable.
Ido not propose to review comprehen
sively all the principles of English grammar,
or to prepare an exhaustive treatise upon the
structure of our language, but simply to call
your attention as forcibly as possible to a few
mistakes quite frequently made. I write
rather with the hope that, from I the consid
eration of a limited number of simple illus
trations, some may be induced to "pause and
reflect," than with the view of presenting a
compendium of corrected sentences.
The misuse of adjectives in place of adverbs
is very general. You will remember the chief
office of the hitt& is to modify or especially
characterize the meaning of verbs, - and that
many are formed from adjectives by the addi
tion of ly. For example, if we wish to
signify that " George writes badly," we
quality the meaning of the verb writes by
the use of the adverb badly. Adjectives
limit the meaning of nouns, but not of verbs.
Never, therefore, wider any circumstances
use the former in the place of adverbs. Be
careful to avoid writing or saying that
Adjectives. Adverbs.
George writes bad, instead of badly.
They acted rude, m utely.
You can do it easy, " easily.
He spoke quick, quickly.
John talks reasonable, " reasonably.
She wrote dreadful, " dreadfully.
This last example develops for our consider
ation another important matter, namely, the
common application of inappropriate or un
necessarily powerful adjectives or adverbs in
speaking of very ordinary affairs. It would
be far more sensible to state, "she wrote in
correctly, offensively or vulgarly," which
would express exactly what might have been
the case, rather than "she wrote dreadfully,"
which latter sentence, though more correct
than "she wrote dreadful," still conveys no
really definite idea. When the weather is
such that the thermometer rises suddenly to
00 degrees, say "it is quite warm," "or very
warm," not "au fully hot," "roasting," etc.
On so account speak to one with whom you
arc but slightly acquainted of any person as
"tight," nor refer to an exaggerated remark
as "tall" or "heavy." We can dispense with
"dreadfully particular," "precious little" and
"shocking bad."
To mention that an acquaintance spoke
"ugly," would be unallowable, owing not
mere!) to the employment of an adjective in
the place of an adverb, but because the adjec
tive is an inappropriate one. Let us alter the
sentence so that it will read "he spoke in a
very ugly manner." Now, to any individual
unacquainted with the particular sense in
which, you may misuse this word, the remark
would cause such a general mixture of ideas
that you would naturally be asked "How do
you mean ?" Instead of stating that "he
talked very ugly," or "in an ugly manner,"
say "he talked (or spoke) coarsely, rudely,
unkindly, unjustly, harshly, unfairly, • vul
garly, or unpleasantly." You will find no
lack of adverbs with which precisely to de
fine and,convey y ni our meaning. .or, id; the
use of - adjectives sees preferable, say - that
be spoke in a very. "coarse, rude, unkind,
vulgar, or unpleasant manner;" that'
he, made some very 'coarse, rude, unkind,
harsh, vulgar, or unpleasant remarks or
I statements. "
We frequently hear the expression "He has
a very ugly disposition," and know the
meaning which it is intended to convey; but
the literal one is simply that the person men
tioned is disposed to be very ugly. For if we
write, more correctly, "he has a very coarse,
rude or unkind disposition, we unquestionably
mean the individual to be very coarse, rude
or unkind.
Some words, like well; are used both as
adjectives and adverbs. The expression "It
has been done well,", and "It acts well," are
alike correct. But as a last caution on this
bead, let me remind' you to beware of those
deceptive words,, never anything else than
adjectives, the misuse of which, in many
cases, does not forcibly strike the attention.
Do not say "It tasted nice," or "It felt nice."
We see at a glance how time and habit have
so established the wrong usage of such adjec
tives as nice ' in these instances, that the errors
„presented are at first hardly apparent; but if
wt, remark, “Re rides nice," the untmal con;
struction renders the defect evident. Good,
most properly an adjective, has been, for so
long a time, occasionally employed- as an
adverb, even by careful writers, that it is
gradually drifting into the same status'as'
well; and the dictionary-makers now seem
disposed to sanction this modification. Still, -
it is undoubtedly. better.•to say_tlti bita.a.

expressions, such as "she cut him moa t " "I'll
be bound," "You'd better believe it, or
"That's so !" will be apt to affect injuriously
the estimation in which you are held by some
newly made acquaintance.
We will not stop to consider the evils of
profanity. "Thou shalt not take the name
of the Lord thy God in vain,"requires no com
ment.
One might suppoSe that the fixed idioms of
the French, which are but slang phrases
legitimatized by long usage and peculiarity
of national character, would render that peo
ple more tolerant of eccentricities in our own
tongue. But we find that when a prominent
English actor personated Lord Dundreary in
Our Amerioan, Cousin, at Paris, the per
formance was rendered before an almost
empty house. The better classes refused to
patronize the drama, because, said they: "M.
Sothern does not speak good English!"
The employment of Verbs in their incorrect
tenses is more general amongst the masses of
- the—English people than in this country.
Even here, however, if not patticularly care
ful, we may fall into this preposterously bad
habit.
Most common amongst mistakes of this
character are the following:
"I see" or "I seen him do it," instead of "I
saw him do it."
"We come up the street," instead of "We
came up," etc.
"He run all the way," instead of "Hs ran
all the way."
"She begun to cry," lc:steal of "She be
gan,"etc.
"lie says to me," instead of "He said to
me."
"I give it to him," instead of "I gave it,'
etc.
"So we go down the long lane," instead o
"So we went down," etc.
"Lay down," instead of "lie," and "se
down," instead of "sit," are errors constantly
heard,
The blunders produced by using was in the
place of were must be so self-evident,upon the
slightest reflection, that it will be unnecessary
to introduce here he rules of grammar bear
ing on this point, for sake of demonstration.
Yet, how frequently we hear "when we was
there," "was you there," or "they was
there." Equally worthy of condemnation are
faulty applications of is and done, as "where
is those bundles ?" instead of "where are
those bundles?" and "he done it," instead of
"he did it."
Avoid altogether, if you conveniently can,
the use of the word aint. This wretched
contraction of am not, besides being inferior
as regards euphony to the elision employed.
in "l'm not," will be found in time to slide so
readily to the end of one's tongue that the ex
pressions "we aint" and "they aint" will al
most certainly follow as a natural conse
quence instead of "he's not" and "they're
not." Let us do away for a moment with the
contractions, and substitute "he am not" and
"they am not," and you will require no addi
tional caution on this point.
It is thoroughly wrong to say "he learnt" or
"learned her to skate," instead of "he taught
her, for lor though she might have learned to
,late, no one else could possibly have learn
ed her. We may as fairly write "he studied
her to skate," instead of "he taught her."
Superfluous words are very generally and
inelegantly introduced in colloquial phrases,
greatly to their detriment. Consider the ef
!vet of "I have got it," instead of "I have it."
'You needn't to do it," instead of "You need
not do it." "Wait till we conic to try it,"
instead of "Wait until we try it." "lle should
not," 'is certainly more eligible than '"lle
oughtn't to."
Discard the frequent use of ejaculations,
such as "You don't say!" "My patience!"
"Mercy!" "My conscience!" etc., etc. Should
some one in your_hearing offer a preposterous
statement, wait until your ideas have become
sufficiently collected to enable you to make
a short and appropriate reply. Depend more
upon the substance than the length and noisy
character of your remarks, remembering that
though sound may silence, sense is neces
sary for conviction; and that easy, subdued
conversation is deemed an evidence of re
finement. Encourage discussions upon ab
stract subjects of intelligence, and discounte
nance protracted criticisms of our fellows.
Much noise, and more of malice, may be
spared in this way.
Limited space will not permit farther• di
gression nor more extended explanations.
Enough will have been accomplished if those
presented induce any one again to bring to
light their "Elementary Grammar," which
has slept in the dust of years since childhood,
on some extremely elevated shelf.
Upon reading the works of able authors,
we are not only incalculably benefited and
instructed from the absorption of valuable
subject matter, but the language we peruse
by imperceptible degrees becomes blended
with• and finally substituted for our own. -
Habits of care and attention with respect to
this subject once acquired, develop, with
such surprising rapidity, that we soon habit

authority as a legislative body to decide upon it/ ju
risdiction as a court of imnenehtneet- When the
-question came before them ilia court he should ex
press his opinion on the pies, if made.
Mr. Dartsesid , he bed eonsielered the question, and
had arrived - at a =Event - danclusicm. Suppose there
were but thirty Senators present, and they appointed
a comadttee to 'prepare suleir, would it not be com
petent to iostruct them to report that the Senate thus
constituted had no power ,_tts form themselves into a
Court of Impeachment? Re thought that the motion
was properly made.- It Mae a Senatorial question, not
one for the Cottrt of IMPeactiment to decide. Had
the ten excluded States, he went on to say, never re
belled, could Congressfexcludo ten other States, and
then resolve rtes if into a Court of Impeachment? lie
thought not. 'When ambentonis State submitted to
• the laws, he claimed ?bat it was as - much lathe Union
Asir It had never taken part in the rebellion. Virginia

Here was a dimities and trellis:it- remagnition by all
the departments of the government that they were
States in the Union. Jr constitutional amendment
was submitted to them, and proper authorities pro
claimed that it had been adopted by the requisite
number of Stater, counting them as the nu'ry
two-thirds. .
Hby e concluded referring : to Vetere definition of
' thestatus of 'rebellions States svhen conquered, hold
ing that by the principle of post limine the sovereign
ty of the former rovereleg power was only suspended
during rebellion, mid was resumed at its close, and it
was obliged to reinstate them to their former rela
tions with it. _ • • - • . .
Dlr. Merrell, of Indiana, *aid the presence of the
Senator here was a protest against his argument. If
he (Mr. Morton) held each an opinion, he would feel
it his duty to decline receivi hie eatery and mileage.
If the Senate was ern to pan a bill, It could
resolve itself into a court of impeachment. 'the Con-
Mittitton did not require two Seminars to be Wettest
trete - each Slate, bat required avote of two'-thirds of
those present. The Senator Ignored the fact that
there had been a rebellion; and all the colinOlnerme'
dovving teem it These States having destroyed their
Stateorganizations, had - themselves rendered their
representation impossible.
Mr. DAVIS said it required a majority to constitute
s quorum to do any business. His positiott was that
any number could meet and adjourn from day to day. ~
The precedents were folly gone into by Senators Foote'
and Foster, some years ago, who had shown clearly
that less than a majority of the whole number of both
houses could not constitute a quorum to do business.
It wee not necessary for him now to go into that ques •
tion. He repeated his views, claiming that the South
wee now loyal in its obedience to the Constitution of
the United States. They had (=ranted greet crimes,
but they were amenable only to the laws, not to any
action of Congress, any more than other criminals.
lie believed tt to be one of the most essential princi
ples of the Conetitution • that they were entitled to
representation. and that the Senate should adjourn
from time to time until a majority of those entitled to
seats were present.
Mr. Jour:son, of Maryland. said that whether the
rebellions States were entitled to representation here
was ii question upon which ho differed from the ma
-101 Hy, who, bowever, bad decided that they were not,
and he considered that all should submit to that de
cision—Congress having passed laws in regard to
those States recognized as valid by all departments of
the government. The. Senator from Kentucky (Mr.
Davis) contended that: a majority ot all the Senators
who would be here if all the States were represented
was necessary to conetitute the court.
Mr, Dante said his position was that a majority of
all the Senators elected was requisite.
: Mi. Autumn asked whir was to judge what Sena-
Vont evereproperly elected?' - The fifth section-of the
first article of the .Constitution gave that power to
each House.
Mr.,Davie asked, whether, the judgment had not
been against the eleven States in question, and not
against persons elected:by them ? '..
Mr. Jona:sow said if the *Senate could pronounce
upon the right of a person applying for admission, it
could refuse to admit him because he was sent by a
body tlutt had no 'authority ,to send a , Senator. Ile
understood the' requirement to be that a quorum of
those decided by the Senate to be properly elected
should be pree.ent. :On the occasion referred to by the
Senator, when. Foster said -Foote took • the contrary,
view, the Senate decided-- that— gnestion -by a
large majority. If the ,Senator's, .position was
correct, :. everything. done .., , by, .:Cengress since
the rebellion hminated was veld,' and the Su
preme Court and the President had misunderstood
Su
their duties. If when they had organized into a Court
of • ImpeacbMent,l the , Presidenv or; , iris counsel
should demfinto'. their ,jurisdiction on :;thie greund,
and if after argument by counsel he should change his
...opinion, he would net Imitate to say so At present
be tbought they were a Senate, and as such were
authorized to try the question of impeentittent.
Mr. Xnaturrns celled theyeas and nays on the mo
tion of Mr. Davis. and it was lost, Messrs. Davis
and McCreery only voting in the affirmative.
Mr. HENDRICKS thought the committee had gone
beyond the purpose of its appointment. , He thought
the Elenate„ - -astsuch, had: right to prescribe mien for
its mode of proceeding Miring the triaU That was a
question for the Court itself. These rules did not
purport to be a law. Under the Constitution he
thought the Senate could not go so far, and he moved
to strike out the twenty-first paragraph of the report.
Mr. PI/3=RM of . Kamm, reminded the Senator
that there had been a proposition to consider the -re.
port; 'section by section
Mr. HENDRICKS 'simply wanted to get an expression
of opinion on his point that the Senate had no power
as such to do anything that might be material on the
trial. Ho thought that question should be first de
cided. _ •
Mr. Stunner; thought it obvious that the proposi
tion of the Senator fromalarylmul should be adopted.
No doubt the great body of the articles would be
adopted without question. When the point raised
by the Synnter was reached, he would be glad to hear
it discussed. , • _ .. ~
TheSecretary'proceednkrai'refidthe articles to the
House .when
Mr. Neuron raised the point that in the third and
fourth articles the implication : watt Made that the
Senate changed its character, and was no longer the
Senate in beconiing the Court of Impeachment. By
the Constitution the Senate was to try this case.
Mr. Jennison said they should adhere to • the prece
% dente established by former liaises, which the present
course followed. They were obliged to take'an addi
tional oath, and would be really a court while thee on
- gaged, as sbny wore *legislative heap while engaged
in then ditties.
Mr. Stirmsfax supposed this was only a criticise
words. The character of the Senate would not 'us
be changed any more than when it was a committee.
Mr. MINDRICKS quoted the words "grand inquest
of the nation," and said there was no such body: they
were IL ere high soundingiworde that made ' him fatter
that they were in the days of Queen Bliviabeth. and,
very different from the aimple language, of the Con
e tl tu tier.
Sar i Cumwma,pointed to the fact that the fathers of
thettmatitution tried the very words in stickpro
ccedingeh:,";'."7.-17 4
Mr Hrounmena merely referred to the language of
the,ConstEntion on the surbject when be quoted. , lie
thought &Court presided over by' the Chief Jnetice

Kr. In said it would be tiale enough , when
the ar !cies [of impeachment Were presented for the
Court to pronounce upon that question. The commit
tee had, presented general rules for the impeachment
Of any future President: Thee purpose of the Senate
was to resolve itself into a judicial capacity, riot to
pus a bill of atta'nder.
The essential idea was to provide for putting on the
robes of justice, cliveeting_themselves of alLprejudlee,
and the committee had followed the precedent of their
fathers in calling It the "grand inquest of the nation."
Bethought no more ,appropriate ;language coed be
found for their change or eharatter.
letr. Coriumrost, of New York, said if he agreed with
aliefienate as to their change of, character as. a Court
of Impeachment, he would concur in the justice of
the criticism of the Senator 'from Indiana (Hr. Hen- ,
dricks)., lie denied, however, that any such change
took place. • The Constitution said that the Senate
shall have the sole power to try impeachment.
He referred to the CU() of the impeachment of Chase
and Peak, and said the Senate was called the file h
Court of Impeachment as often before. the articles
were presented as afterwards. He read from the jour
nals of that time, showing that these words were used
on the title page of the )ournal, and showing that no
where was it sald the Senate had resolved itself Into
a High Court of Impeachment. Every proclaniation
was made ae It would-be in this case. When the man
agers appeared, eddtessing the Senate in 1861, at the
trial of Judge Humphreys, the words "The Senate re
solved itself into's High Court of IMpeachment" ap
peared, So far as he knew, for the Etat time. He ar
gued that they remained in the Senate thattnstant as
much as when in the Executive mitten, and thought
it material to decide , this question here..
Mr. Howsirn insisted that the word ; simply meant
that the Senate resolved itself from one branch of its
duty to another; it was still the same body just ae
much so as when they engaged in deciding upon
treaties. In all capacities they acted as the Senate of
the United States. Phrases were not material, but he
felt disposed 0 favor rulbering to the forms that, had
come' own from their fathers.
Mr. Momunx, of Maine, asked whether instead of
these words "The Senate then proceeded to the con
end
align otthapeachment," it would not be better to
use di Wier words. o •
..'$ an. tio reason for departing froth the
of formula, though the terms were precisely the
same In effect. , ,
• . .
Ca.WittOrr, Of Pennsylvania; thought it proper to
use the words COurt." It was a Court with the,
highest function known to the law. He would throw
about it allpos./aide solemnity.
Messrs. Znituxos, COHRLING, and others, discussed
the question further, citing precedents, and the last
named, MUM that all - writs etc., Issued' in every
case dotorn to 1854; bad been made returnable to the
Senate. not to the Senate in any particular capacity.
Mr. Fanny, of Connecticut, moved to strike out the
word "high" wherever iit occurs before the word
"court."
Mr.l3avenn, of Delaware, said the fact could .net
be,ignored that they would be a Court, exercising all
the , functions Of such, and the Constitution con
templated the organization. He cited the case of
Blount, Senator from Tennessee, where the journals
said that the Senate was organized into a Conn.
Mr. FEBBY said his object in miving to strike out
the word "high" was simply to do away with the idea
that in resolving themselves into a Court they were a
different body, which might obtain from the use of
that, and that this expression he would move to strike
out should the motion prevail. The amendment was
lost--yeas 15, nays W.
The sixth article being read. .
SAIIIEBURY, of Delaware, moved to strike"out
the clause empowering the presiding officer of the
Court of Impeachment to call in the assistance of the
army and navy t 3 enforce its command, assuming that
the Senate had no power to give any such orders, and
that they had no power to enforce such orders, which
therefore would be a nullity.
Mr. Bt CKALEW claimed that they could not. in
making these tales, confer on any presiding officer
power that he did nototherwisepossess. Their rules
should be only rules of order. If it were found neces
sary. the Court, when organized, could issue such
order,. •
Ati. — Broirans said the rule put In force the existing
-power which, under the Constitution, they had aright
to do, and for which they had precedent in the British
Parliament, on which their usages were founded. If
the Court, When Organized, found itself cramped by
any rale now made, they'could change it. There was
the,morkresson for this power when it had been giv
en out by a distinguished leader that their orders and
mandates would be resisted.
Mr. Wna.r.tatg, °ferment, supported thSviews of
Mr. Saulsbury and Mr. Bucks.lew, saying it yeas tree
that if the judgment of any Court was resisted •that
Cana could call upon the posse comilatus to.enfOrce
it; but the Court could not make an order requiring the
militia power in contemplating future resistance to
certain acts. There should be some law to empower
the issue of such an'order, but Mang be the result of
”lalation, not of an order of the Senate.
M..kitillatast said the Constitution had cilready
provided tor the enforcement Of the judgment; and It
was in the power of any court to enforce execution of
its interlocutory orders.
, Mr. Mows= said the Senate was clothed with cer
tain powers 'under the Constitution, which instrument
not providing the means for their execution, was it
not a clear Implication that they could enforce any
order necessary to carry out that duty r If the milli
tary and naval forces voluntarily obeyed such an or
der, nobody would claim that they would thus act im
properly..
Mr. Jousacer, of Maryland, concurred in the opin
ions of the Senators from Delaware (Mr. Saulsbury)
and Oregon (Mr. Williams). If the Vice-President,
now acting as President. was found guilty, the Presi
dent of the Senate, by the Constitution, became Pres
ident, and was empowered to call out the army and
navy to maintain himself as such, under the Constitu
tion, the present Executive ceasing from the moment
he was found guilty.
Mr: llowenn—Suppose he refuses to vacate
Mr. JOIINi.ON said the Constitution empowered his
successor to put him out by force. It was a subject of
legislation, and the Supreme Court mild have as
much power to enforce its judgments as the Senate to
enforce theirs. Ile said the Senator from Ohio (Mr.
Sherman) was mistaken in supposing a t.ourt could
enforce its interlocutory oraers. The resistance
referred to by the Senator from Vermont (Mr.
Edmunds) was never contemplated by the Presi-
dent or anybody else, and the power contemplated had
never been given, and could not be given without leg
,
islation.
Mr. Fucitscuryszs, of New Jersey, thought it
dangerous to assume any power not given to them
by the Constitution, or that was questionable, and he
thought the Senate should keep itself within its con
stitutional rights.
31r. EDMUNDS, of Vermont. also held that opinion.
The Constitution did not contain a code of rules: but
wherever a power was granted,the Supreme Court had
decided that it contained all powers necessary to carry
it out.
Dir. Fitt LINGRUTSM said the Constitution directed
otherwise in this case, empowering the Executive to
soli out the military to enforce.the 'awe.,

Mr. FRELINGHUTaXIi—Is he a creature of the Sen

Kr. EMitmns continued his amunent, claiming
-that the Senate could enforce its judgment as well as
its Interlocutory orders.
3k. Ilmtnnnicss, of Indiana, asked what the Senator
.understood to be interlocutory orders?
Mr, Enunrins said the overruling .a. motion to dis
miss, and declaring a witness ip contempt for refusing
to testify, &c.

Mr. EMSEURY, of ; Delaware, 'said they had no

wisest course was to take the old rules adopted nearly
seventy years ago, upon which five trials have already
been had, out of which no difficulties arose. Then, if
difficulties did arise in the, future, they could make
any rules necessary, and the whole world would say
that the Senate was justified. -De would not now,

Mr. Elformumcs would withdraw the amendment
if that was assumed to - be the construction Of the
Senate;
The twelfth article having been read. Mr. BUNNER
called attention to , the clause which provides that on
the adjournment o 1 the Court the Senate shall resume
the consideration ;of its legislative and executive
business. and suggested the propriety of the Senate's
refraining from intercourse with the President
during the trial; insisting they should give their
unintermitted attention to the grave duty devolving
upon them. I, ,
Be made no melon to amend, however, and the
article was adopted.
Without father progress, on motion of Mr. AR
VID:4Y, at five minutes past six, it having become
evident that when the twenty-first article was reached
a lengthy debate Would ensue, the Senate adjourned.
The articles ofimpeachment were then presented
by Mr. BOUTWELL,I Chairman of the Committee, and
were read by the Clerk.
The reading of the articles having been concluded,
Mr. Etnames of Wisconsin, sought , the floor, but
the Speaker declined to recognize him, and the House,
at 2:15, went into Committee of the Whole on the
state of the Union, Mr. Washbunm, of Illinois, in the
chair, in conformity with the prior order of the House
on that subject, for the purpose of considering the
articles of impeachment.
Mr. BOUTWELL then rose to state the general points
of the articles. The committee would observe, he said,
that those articles, excepting the tenth, were founded
on proof before the House. That tenth article was
founded on the testimony of General Emory, which
testimony was printed, and would at once be laid before
the committee. The testimony would show that in an
nterview between President Johnsonand General Em
ory the General had laid before the Presidents general
order, containing 'extracts from the law requiring all
orders to officers to be transmitted through the Gen
eral of the Army 'to which the President replied that
that order and law were not in conformity with the
Constitution.of the United States or with his (General
Emory's) commienion. It was on that testimony that
the tenth article was founded. The other articles
were founded on matters connected with the attempt
to remove Secretary Stanton, and were within the
public knowledge. The committee had met with a
difficulty which it became him now to present; that
was the description, so far as the office was concerned,
of the person accused. whether as President of the
United States or as Vice-President discharging the
duties of President. He thoneht that the description
in the articles was the proper one. The Constitution
had made a provision. for the officer who was to pre
side on the impeachment of the President of the United
States.: but that officer was not required to preside
ca. the . impeachment of the Vice.zPresident. He was of
opinion that it was impossible to avoid possible diffi
culties in the matter. If Andrew Johnson was ar
raigned as President of the United States, the Chief
Justice would be called upon to preside on the trial:
and if the President of the Court should decide against
the description given, then the Constitution would
have to be reorganized and frirtherjdelay caused. If
the House were to fall on the arraignment on these
charges, be could not see how upon arraignment upon
other chargesalready known to the country it could
srcceed. Be knew there was a diversity of opinion
among the people, but he understood that among the
loyal people of the country there was a substantial
agreement that the President should be impeached and
removed on the charges against him. The committee
bad no particular regard as to the articles presented,
hut would be governed by the decision of the House
In the matter.
Mr. Brun, of Illinois, rose to oppose the adoption
of the articles. It seemed that at last the phials of
Radical wrath were to be poured on the head of the
President of the United States. He characterized the
u hole movement as One in the interest of party, and
that party centered around two men—one of them the
acting Secretary of War,•Edwin M. Stanton. and the
other the presiding officer of the Senate, Benjamin
Wade. Assuming that these articles were to be sus
tained by the Senate, and that on the charges the ver •
diet of guilty should be pronounced, what then would
be the result? That amen who was now a candidate
for such ant:dike, and who had recently been repudi
ated by his own State for the Senate, was •to succeed
to the office of President.
- - - - - -
The people of the United States believed, and he
believed, that the motive of Mr. Johnson in re
moving Mr. Stanton was to test the constitutionality
of the tenure-of-office bilL He did not blame the
President for removing Mr,. Stanton from that office,
but he blamed him only for having tolerated such a
man so long in the Cabinet. Had Mr. Stanton pos -
ceased honesty, readiness or self-respect, this dis
graceful scene would never have been enacted before
the face of the American people, as he would have vol
untarily retired from the office. He felt, however,
that it was not very safe to say much against the act
tug Secretary of War so long as he had control of the
bastiles to which he had consigned so many who had
offended him during the war. He referred to the
telegraphic message recently read in the House from a
drunken Governor of bitvourrr - State.-- • • .2:" -•
INogesom called Mr. Burr to order, and denied
the insinuation made against Governor Oglesby.
Mr. lionn said the gentleman might defend Gov
ernor Oglesby when he got the floor: '
Mr. livorstam said it was not proper to slander one
who was not a member of the House.
Mr. Bunn trusted that Governor Oglesby never
would be a member of tbts or of the other House.
Mr. htesnsom, thought itgood for his colleague
(Mr. Burr) that Governor Oglesby was not here to
day.
Mr. Bunn declined to yield to interruption, and re
marked that no sober man would have done what Gov
ernor Oglesby bad done in sending the inflammatory
telegram. '
Mr. 'answers, having obtained the floor, declared
- tbatiß. J. Oglesby .was one of nature's noblemen—
that no better, more patriotic or more upright man
existed. The people of Illinois had endorsed him by
nearly sixty thousand majority against the Demo
cratic competitor at the last Gubernatorial election;
and whoever slandered Governor Oglesby, slandered a
man who carried in his body a intrude ball fired from
a rebel musket at Fort Donelson Governor Oglesby
had periled his life in defense of the Republic, and was
notoriously a sober man . , and was a man of brave, pa
triotic, heart: but the hnighta of the Golden . Circle
would assail him and strike him down.
Mr. BURR remarked that if his colleague (Mr. In-
Kersoll) intended to say that he (Mr. Burr) was a
night of the Golden Circle he was falsifying.
Mr. lwerusom, said he had no insinuations to make
agbinst his colleague in reference to the Knights of the
Golden Circle. • '
Mr. Coon, of Illb3ois, asked whether it was not
true that all of the 1 - nights of the Golden Circle had
voted withlite colleague (Mr. Burr) against Governor •
Oglesby?
I
M. rmaneom. could not ' answer positively, but he
bad no doubt that it was so.
Mr. Bunn did not know tfnythingabout the Knights
of the Golden Circle, but he did. not think they were
worse than the Loyal League, whose work had been
mischief all the time,
Mr. Bitoatwirm, sustained the articles of impeach
ment; and said that the time had come when Andrew

°country, and when Congress should do its duty under

Mr! RANDALL inquired how that could be done

went on to sustain the articles of impeachment, and
hoped' they would be substantially, adopted by the

in the matter was not a new one, - fOr the President
bad signed the bill of March 2, 1867, thesecond sec
tion of which declared that the General of the Army
should not he removedliy the President of the United
States without the consent of the Senate. ,
Nicriotsos, of Delaware, asked whether the
President had not protested against that section.
Mr. Aomori replied that it was true the President
had made some sort of protest about it. . H e argued,
however, that if any removals from office were to be
made bythe President, it should be, above all Where,
officers of the army or navy, for the Constitution had

Mr. RANDALL, of Pennsylvania, addressed the House
next, and said: Mr. Chairman, the few minuteisallowo
ed me to discuss this all important question will ena
ble me to do bat partial justice to the subject. lam
unwilling, however, that those whom I have the honor
to represent should be silent on so august an occasion,
with so much danger to the country. The Preeident
of the United States, in the preeenee Of the people;
solemnly obligated himself by oath, not only that the
laws should be executed, but also that he would pre
serve, protect and defend the Constitution. • lie be
lieves that the power of removal under the Constitu-
Wm is absolutely in him, the Sedate of the United
States being advisory in appointments. Under this
construction be removed Mr. Stanton we Secretary of
War. '
The exercise of this power by the President, which
to my mind is a plain constitutional prerogative, is
made the pretext for his impeachment. Proceedings
in that direction are taken with hot and indecent
haste, almost without any consideration, certainly
without the opportunity for legitimate discussion;
and for this mere difference of opinion as to what is
the law, about which there is a division of judgment
even in the Republican party, he is arreigned, as guilty
of high crimes and mtsdemeanors, and you have
pledged youreelves to make good those charges at the
Wog the Senate. The sanctity of official individual
oaths era nothing when they stand in the Way of
a reckless party object., • intent on the removal
of sin "obstacle" out of , the road that leads to the
conaolitiation Of the power of the two co-ordinate
branches. off the government into the legislative
branch, and then, perhaps, to an irremediable des
potism. Surely an adherence to the terms and spirit
of the Constitution, even if in conflict with a law
which Mr. Stanton himself has declared to be uncon
stitutional, gives but a slight cause for this attempted
revolutionary act. For my part, I can only_ say that
were I the President, 88 I am a Representative, I
would defy, ea I do here this day, any power on earth
to intervene between myself and the people I repre
sent for the inviolability of my oath of office.
Mr. Titan inquired of Mr. Boutwell whether there
would be reported to the House any further testimony
than that already printed.
Mr. Botrrwzm replied that the committee had no
purpose to report farther testimony.
Mr. MEYERS, of Pennsylvania, advocated the adop
tion of the articles, and commented on the threat con
tained in the desk.; part of Mr. Woodward's speech
of last Monday, and slid that he understood that the
gentleman had not pronounced that part of his speech
(his time having expired before he got so far), and
that that was the reason he had not been called to
order for such language. He reviewed the facts lead
ing to the present proceedings, and argued that the
only remedy was the impeachment and•removal of the
President, Andrew Johnson. allured by the worst
' features of Roman }notary, had called himself the
"Tribune" of the people, while, in factt, he strove to
grasp the fence and the axe, and to assume the
powers of dictator. Be denied that under the Con
stitution the Presidedt had the' power of removal of
officials while the Senate was in session, and Quoted
Alereander Hamilton as authority for that denial. If
the removal of Mr. Stanton were tolerated, the dicta
torship would be an accomplished fact, and the prin
ciples of a free people be trodden under foot by the
power of despotism.
Mr. LAWRENCE, of Ohio, spoke on the same side of
the question, and said he had already twice expressed
his views on the impeachment of the Preeident, and
had nothing to change or take back. He did not know
that he could express the guilt of the President better
than by quoting :he language of ' the gentleman from
Wisconsin (Mr. Eldridge) sonic time since, in which
he spoke of Congress and the President as being in
"part delictu," and that they stood together as infa
mous usurpers of unwanted powers. He did not hold
that the motive of the President was at all
national when he violated the. Constitution or
the law of the land, and he denied twat the
President could shield himself behind any, plea
of innocent motive. He illustrated the case
of Mr. Buchanan, who held that the government
had no constitutional power to coerce a State, and
asked whether if Mr. Buchanan had had his fall term
then to serve, ire would not have been liable to action
on that conscientious conviction of his mind, to im
peachment and removal, so that the Republic might
be caved'? It made no difference, he said, whetter
the act of the President was or was not an indictable
offense. If for any cause he was unfit for the office,
' it was the right and duty of the grand inquest of the
nation to eject him from the office, and he was glad
that Congress had found time to devote to the per
formance of this duty.
Mr. VAN AUKEN J of Pennsylvania, next addressed
the committee against the adoption of the articles of
impeachment. 'He asserted that what the House
most feared was a thorough exposure of its acts in
this matter, and therefore it was that such brief time
was allowed for debate. Wes the country, he asked,
to be rocked to its foundations merely because the
President had, in the exercise of hie lawful authority,
undertaken terrefeeve - Edwin-M. Stanton from the
War Department ?_ And yet this was what the Radi
cal majority was doing.
Mr. Slavers, of New Hampshire, supported the
articles of impeachment, and in the course of his
remarks paid a compliment to the unsurpassed ability
and loyalty of Mr. Stanton, who, lie said, filled his
place as War Minister to the admiration of the loyal
people of the country.
'inc debate was farther continued by Mr. Morgan, of
Oh'o, against the impeachment, and by Mr. Medium,
of Tennessee, for it. The former claimed that none of
the Senators who had voted for the resolution declar
ing that the President had no right of removal could
sit as jurors on the trial of the President for that act;
and that as to the tenth article, it did not deserve a
moment's consideration.
Mr. Mentres declared his belief that one of the
reasons why his life had been spared when the mis
siles of death were flying thickly around was that he
mlght vote for the impeachment of Andrew Johnson
(monster who was riding over all the rights of the
pebnie, and usurping the legislative powers of the
nation. , Be declared that monarchy and despotism
lay at the bottom of the whole movement of Andrew
Johnson.. A Czar of Russia had never exercised more
despotic power.
Mr. JENCKES, of Rhode Island, gave notice of his
ietentionto offer an amendment to the articles of im
peachment. He proposed, he said, to set up the facts
alleged, and to couple them with an averment to the
acts arid declarations of the President, to show a crim
ir al intent on his part to exercise the power and au
thority of the Commander-in-chief of the army and
navy in a manner not in accordance with the rules for
the government and regulation of the land and naval
forces, in violation of the act of Congress and of the
Constitution.
Mr. BOUTWELL suggested that Mr Jenclees embody
his views in a separate article, and Me. Jenekes said
he would.
Mr. BUTLER obtained the floor, and then, at 15:30 r.
. . the Committee took a recess till Monday morning.,
-at 10Vclock, a notilicatioe tieing givenley Mr. Balite
that there would be a Republican caucus in the House
