CRIME.
Murder in New 'fork. •
"'From 11w New York Herald yeeterehty.)
most horrible murder was pegketrated
in the Twenty-eighth precinct On Saturday
evening, the discovery of which treated great
excitement in the vicinity of ~ .the place where
the deed was committed. It appears that as
officer Flanagan of the Twenty - eighth pre
*Wet, was patrolling his post about 11 o'clock
en Saturday evening, near Greenwich etreet,
he was met by a man named John Render, or
Binder, who in an excited manner inquired
where he could find a physician, whom he
wanted to visit his wife, as she was very ill.
The officer, thinking that Render looked
somewhat suspiciously at him, as if he were
afraid he was doubting his word, told bim to fol
low him,or rather accompany him,to the house
where he said he lived, No. 391 Greenwich
street. The horror of the policeman may be
imagined when on entering the room he saw
the body of a woman, which proved to be
that of Render's wife, lying in a pool of
blood on the floor, all bruised and gashed, as
if some demon incarnate had vented his
wrath in an attempt to cut the body to pieces.
The body' was naked to the waist, and the
dress had evidently been torn into shreds in
the awful struggle that the woman must have
made for her life. From the front part of
the head back there was a deep cut in the
skull, •the left aide of which was crushed in,
and about the neck there were traces as of
fingers besmeared with blood, and a portion
of the t,.( ear ' r l all appearancep had
been brtteit off: - The room in which
the body was found - Molted a bedroom,
which weal, a scene ,of ' conftision and
disorder, the floor reeking . with blood, and
chairs and other articies4mg about as if they
11a4 been overturned in The struggle_ of the
woman with her murderer. In this room a
bayonet wet with blood was found, and a rag,
also besmeared with `blood, Which had evi
dently been used in an attempt to wipe the
blood from the steel. There were other evi
denceb which 'Went to show that the woman
had been murdered in the bedroom and then
dragged out Into lhe adjoining room. Beside
the, body was found' a pail of water deeply
dyed with blood, and about the floor and the
body the• water ran in little rivulets, the mur
derer having evidently made an attempt to
wash the evidences of his guilt, from the
corpse and the floor.
Persons residing in the house say that
Reeder and his wife had lived there only
about a - month, and that they had heard no
noise of an extraordinary character in the
• couple's apartments that evening, with the
exception of the man yelling out at the top
of his.veice at one time and as if he were
angry, "Give me that slb I gave you."
Mender's three little children were in the
house at the time—two boys and a girl--the
youngest being between two and three years
of age. They were taken to the station house
by officer Flanagan and roundsman 'lusher,
of the Twenty-eighth precinct, who arrested
Render immediately upon the discovery of
the bloody deed that had been enacted.
The eldest boy, aged about eight years, on
being questioned relative to the murder, said
that he saw his father kick and strike his
mother several times.
The alleged murderer, Render, is about
thirly:five years of age, of an uncouth ap
pearance and forbidding countenance. He
works as a longshoreman on the North river
piers. , The murdered woman was about the
same age as her husband and of a very power
ful frame.
The Worcester Tragedy—Particulars
of the Murder and Robbery ofJoseph
Olaark, on Friday. Evening.
The Worcester (Mass.) Spygives the fol
lowing statement of the facts of the
tragedy in that city on Friday evening last:
"The victim was Joseph G. Clark, a pro
fessional gambler, who has resided here for
several years past, and for the past two years
has occupied a suite of rooms for the prac
tice of his profession in the third story of
Union Block, Main street. During about the
same time he has been in intimate relations
with a Mrs. Eaton, a young woman well
known here, and she has visited his rooms
and spent considerable part of her time there.
Last evening, Clark, who took his meals
with her at her home, on Summer street, was
at tea as usual, and at a quarter before seven
Mrs. Eaton went up to his rooms.
She found the door fastened from the
inside, so that her key would not open it, but
heard noises that satisfied her that Clark was
there. She spoke to him and begged admit
tance, but receiving no answer she concluded
that be had company he did not wish her to
see. She continued asking admission with
out getting any reply till nearly nine o'clock,
when she told him if he had private company
she would go away and wait at the Bay State
HOUR, near by, for half an hour, and asked
him to come for her, or she would return
alone. She says she went down the stairs
heavily on purpose to persuade him she was
gone, but returned again softly and went up"
the stairs leading to the floor above Clark's
rooms,thinking there was a woman in the case,
_and determined to know more about it. She
sat there till about twenty minutes past nine,
when she beard a slight movement in the
lock of Clark's door, and looking down she
saw two men, with their coats about their
heads, come out and hurry down stairs. She
immediately came down, unlocked the door
and went in. AB she entered the main room,
where Clark% faro table stood, she noticed a
dark spot on the floor near the door, but none
of the furniture was displaced. She tried the
door opening into the sleeping room, and
'lima it locked, but smelled smoke and could
see the lightffickering through" -thecracks. of •
the door. She then went into the hall and
into the sleeping room by another door, and
found the body of Clark on the bed, which
was a mattress slightly raised from the floor,
and enveloped in flames. She at oncegave
the alarm, and parties in other rooms of the
building were soon on the spot and assisted in
extinguishing the flames.
An examination by the police officers and
Coroner J. M. Rice, showed that on the floor
in the main room was a spot of coagulated
blood and brain some fifteen inches in diame
ter, and near by another of about the same
size, but not so thick. The head of Clark
was split open on the top, apparently by a
hatchet or similar weapon, some four inches,
and a rope was also knotted about his neck,
and the poker of the stove twisted in it as a
Jorpionet. • It was evident that he had been
Straelt &w i n and strabgled in the outer room,
andtheti canted to the bed and placed upon
it, ...after which his murderers had
broken a keresene lamp over his head and
right shoulder, and saturated the bed
clothes with the oil and set the whole on fire.
The right side of his face was badly burned,
' and the Clothing:Orr his - light - shoulder •and
breast was nearly destroyed. Ere was known
to have a large sum' of money in his posses
sion, and this with his watch, diamond pin,
were gone. The watch - had been un
fastened from a heavy gold, chain about Lis
neck, and the chain was left. About $1,400
in United States bonds were left untouched
in a drawer of his faro table. " it is singular
—that-in allthis bloody work- there -were left-I
no evidences of W. struggle, nothing being
displaced in the rooms or about the
body, except what had been taken from him.
The forms and dress of the men who were
seen to leave the room corresponded with
those of two men who have been in town for
a few days, lounging about gambling rooms
for"yo apparent purpose, and they were at
once suspected. Of icers were sent to the
WestOrn depot at wee and the men wefe
there,''but one of theta ran away. The other
was arrested; and was found to have tickets
for both for New 'York, by the train which
was just ready to leaVe. The party arrested
is Silas James, known to the sporting
fraternity as 'General James, a professional
gambler, and of bad reputation even among
others in the same business. He declares
his innocence. His companion, who es
caped, is a cousin, named Charles T.
James. Both reside at West Greenwich, R.
I. The man who escaped is about 25 years
of age, 5 feet 6 or 7 inches in height, weighs
about 165 pounds, and is of a light or sandy
complexion, with blue eyee,dark hair slightly
curling, and dark brown moustache. He
was dressed in a snuff-colored suit, and a
stiff-brimmed, flat-topped, light brown hat,
with a wide black ribbon.
The Alleged Illegal Action of the Ante=
limn Consul at Jerusalem.
[From tho Jowl!!ik Memengor, Feb. a)
The daily newspapers recently contained a
telegram from Berlin to the effect that inquiry
had been made in the Prussian Howie of
Deputies why the United States Consul at
Jerusalem (V. Beaubouchier) was allowed to
procure the arrest of one Markus, a Jewish
subject of Prussia, with whose ward, a young
girl, the American Consul sought to elope;
and why, after her guardian had been thrown
into prison to facilitate the attempt, the Prus
sian Consul at Jerusalem refused his demand,
as a subject of the King of Prussia, for pro
tection.
In explanation of the above, we add a
narrative of facts ' as they have been trans
mitted to us by the constituted authorities in
Palestine. A Jew, named M. Steinberg, a
native of Prussia, died, leaving two daugh
ters and a son. The eldest of the daughters
married a Russian and embraced Christianity.
The son, the sole supporter of the younger
sister, also died, leaving her, at the age of
fourteen, without any relative, and in needy
circumstances. In this exigency, a worthy
Israelite, by the name of L. Markus, also a
Prussian subject, took her to his home, pro
viding for all her wants. The noor young
woman became sick,and was conveyed to the
Rothschild Hospital. Her sister paid her
_daily visits, and importuned her to become a
convert to Christianity, offering her the com
forts of a home; but the young Jewess, al
though physically weak, remained firm in
her faith. In due time she convalesced, and
Rabbi Markus again took her to his home.,
The sister, finding that she had left the
hospital, and had returned to the former
quarters, determined to use coercive measures
to bring her to her house, and by means not
explained persuaded the Consul of the United
States, Mr. Victor Beaubouchier, to assist
her in taking her sister by force. This com
ing to the knowledge of Markus, he applied
by telegaaph to the Prussian Consul at Bey
rout to protect the girl, but ere an answer
arrived, the American Consul, accompanied
by two officers, entered the house of Markus
by force, and, as the girl could not be found,
after ordering him to be punished in a severe
manner for resisting, had him conveyed to
prison, threatening to stab any one who
would attempt to rescue his prisoner.
Subsequently, the friends of Markus ap
plied to thr; Turkish Consul, who ordered
his immediate release, which, of course,
was complied with, and Markus returned to
his home.
The Jewish authorities of Jerusalem being
ignorant of American laws, require of us
answers to the following questions: .1.
Whether a Consul for the United States can
compel a Jewess to abandon her faith, no
matter what the influence of her sister may
be? 2.. Has he the right, in the absence of
of her Consul (Prussian), to act in his stead?
3. Has he tiae right to enter the house of auy
one not subject to his authority, and then beat
him with stripes because the guardian re
fuses to give up his ward. ,
There are various other questions, but we
pass them by, excepting the tenth and last,
"Had the American Consul the right to in
struct the officers who accompanied him to
take anyone to prison, although the party
was not an American citizen, and threaten to
stab any who interfered?" To all these ques
tions we answer in the negative. The
authorities also request us to address the
American Government on the subject, that
the Consul may be immediately recalled, and
become disqualified to hold any public office
hereafter. We await further instructions
from Jerusalem ere we take action in the
matter. The Board of Delegates of Ameri
can Israelites have lost no time in communi
-2.l,cuting with the Secretary of State.
Additional Testimony on the Rm.
, peachment.
In the additional testimony given before the
House Committee is that of Mr. Samuel Wilker
son, as follows :
By Ivir. Bingham—Q. State if you are ac
quainted with Lorenzo Thomas, Adj man t-G moral
of the United States Army.
A.—Yes, sir.
Q.—State if you have had any conversation
with him recently in reference to a change iu the
War Department.
A.—l have.
Q.—State when that first conversation was,
where it was, and what it was.
A.—lt was on Friday last; I went to General
Thomas's room at the War Department; he
showed me an order which the President gave
him to take possession of the War Department;
he told me of an interview between himself and
the Secretary of War; he said to me that the Sec
retary asked him if he wished him to go out im
mediately, or if he would give him time tagather
together his papers and property, and take them
with him. He told me that he replied to the Sec
retary of War that he could take what time was
net*ssitry. ,He said.thatwasFriday, and that the
next day, Saturday, was a dies non being a
national holiday, that he had given orders for thd
closing of the War Department, that the next
day would be Sunday, and that on Monday he
would take possession of the War Department,
books, papers and property, and that if the de
mand was denied or resisted, he would send to
•General Grant for, I think, the soldiers or forces
to• enable him to take possession. Ho further
stated that he did not know how General Grant
could decide to obey that order.
Q.—Did he say anything about the President's
order to take possession by force if it was resisted.
A.—No, sir. He said, that that course of action
would be his duty under the order that he had
shown me; that ho had no election; that he would
be bound to pursue that or used subordinate act
ing under that order.
Q.—Did you have any other conversation with
him afterwards upon the subject?
A.—l did on (think it was) Friday night at
Willard's Hotel.
Q.—What did he state there ? •

upon General Grant for a force auflicient to en
able him to obtain it.
Q.—Was that all the conversatiOn you had with I
him about it?
A.—l think that is all the conversation that'
was>materiak. , • .capl
Q.--Did he -.make - any reference to the Pre - Si
dent in this last conversation?
A.-1 think not; I do not recollect that he did,

respect to the education: of-- girls.ln ttiia doers-

One of the plans which those . writers in their
cynical daring have adopted is to pervert youth
in order the better to attain their object, which is

ROME.
Shameful impiety. As the means employed
bitherto 'affected males more than females,
and..as, for this maim, they: did not attain
the object as aeon as they wished, they now . de
sire to attack even woman, to 'deprive her of her
native modesty, to exhibit her' in public, to turn
her aside from domestic life and its duties, and to
puff her up with false and vain knowledge; so
that she, who, if properly and religiously brought
up, would be like a pure and brilliant light
in the house, the glory of her husband,
the edification of her family, a fountain
of peace, an attraction to piety, will
now, full of pride and arrogance, dis
dain the cares and duties that aro proper for
woman, Will be a germ of division in the house
hold, will pervert her children, and become a
stumbling-block to all. And, what is profoundly
deplorable, those who are intrusted with public
duties, disregarding this peril which menaces so
ciety no less than religion, favor the sehomes of
impiety by strange am! unheard-of projects, and
thus with the most extreme impudence assist in
the ruin of society which has already begun.
"This formal accusation," remarks the 7'emps,
"is aimed at M. Duruy,theMinister of Public In
struction, and in consequence of the mechanism
of our Constitution it hits higher than oven M.
Thinly. Was it to receive lessons of this kind
from the Holy See that the French Government
mode the second expedition to Rome, and always
defends the temporal power?'
The Siecle remarks that this is frank and plain
speaking. The Catholic world and Catholic
lei - pales are told that to give girls an education as
good as that of boys will have tile effect of
making them lose all modesty, all virtue, and all
sentiment of their female duties.
Gen. Hancock's Denial of a Slander.
NEW ORLEANS, LE, Feb. V. 18i38.—Editor
Republican ; Sia—My attention has been called
to the following article which appeared In your
pa pi. rof to-el ay :
We find this in the editorial columns of the
New York Sun of the 17th lust.:
"In a recent letter to a gentleman in this ,i
-einity Gen. Hancock falls into an irreverent and
picturesque, not to say profane, mode of speech,
which has usually been thought to be more char
acteristic of him in the heat of battle than in the
cold blood of - a friendly epistle. As the hero of
Spottsylvania expresses it, he has "had a h—ll of
a time, and has got his belly full of these d—ti
Texas rebels.'"
I beg to say that there is no truth whatever in
the statement that I wrote such a letter as the
mie referred to, or ever used such expressions.
The article is a malicious misrepresentation and
without foundation. I have lately returned from
Texas, where-I was treated invariably with kind
ness, and saw no evidence which would warrant
such expressions as to Texas any , more than to
any other State in the Union. I am, respect
fully, your obedient servant,

The amendment web not agreed to.
fir . hicenlasor offered an amendinent striking out
all limitations of time and number of persons. He
said while others might refuse to represent the send-
Ments of their Stems, the judiciary of Kentucky, on
tee trial of any person, put no limitation or restric
tion upon the accused in this respect. He felt con-
strained to offer this amendment, without much
hope of its adoption. because, while others might
not feel the necessity, he desired to get all
possible information on the subject. This would
not only be fair, but it would appear
so. The majority could well afford to let
the question stand entail upon Its merits. Whether
the exhibition was to be a great one or not, as the

Mr. Bowan!) asked if the Senator intended that the
counsel for the accused as well as the prosecution
should open the elute.
BI:MilrII replied in the negative, saying the
amendment only contemplated the opening of the de
fendsrit's ease, after the prosecution closed.
Mr. Genies suggested leaving the matter to be set

Mr. limemocats was, satisfied that, justice was

the imputation thrown on Senators on his side en
tirely unjustifiable. He moved that they take a re

that the presiding officer must decide little questions

House of Representatives.
Mr. Futuna, of New York, sustained the impeach
ment articles, recaphulating the various acts of the
President which he held to justify and necessitate im
peachment.
Mr. KOONTZ, of Pennsylvania, followed on the same
aide, declaring that the President had forced this ac
tion on the Republican members of Congress who had
hitherto opposed it. Be conceded that it would be
necessary to show not only that the President had
violated the law, but that ho had done so with an ilia
-proper motive: - He — argued againet the point mule
on the other side as to Secretary Stanton not coining
within the terms of the tenure-of-office law, and
claimed that this Presidential term is, in contempla
tion of law, the term of Mr. Lincoln, and that, conse
quently, Mr. Stanton was entitled to hold his office
till the 4th of March, 1869. Re charged Mr. Johnson
with prostituting Ins powers of appointment to de
bauch the public morals.
Mr. PERHAM, of Maine, followed on the same side,
and referred to acts of Mr.' Johnson other than those
charged, to show the aninatua which inspired him.
Confiscated lands had been restored to their rebel
owners; traitors became his comidentialhdvisers and
boon companions; men who were to have taken "back
Kate in the work of reconstruction were brought to
-the front-and - had- authority placed in. their banjo:
and Congress itself had been denounced by him as an
unlawful holy hanging on the verge of the govern
ment. In the name of the loyal people of the South,
in the name of the business interests of the country,
he supported these articles of impeachment.
Mr. Rau[, of Illinois, followed on the same side.
Walybag the fact that Andiew Johnson had betrayed
the party that had trusted and elected him, he held
that he must be proceeded against on his official con
duct alone. The President had come to be governed
by his worst passions, and was ready to resort to any
violence to carry, out the illegal designs he had delib
erately planned, and carried out a palpable violatitin
of law, and this was only one of a long series of crimes
of which he had been guilty. - _-
Mr. ulso-v4irv, of Pennsylvania, called attention to
the fact that when John B. Floyd resigned the office
of Secretary of War, on the 29th of. December, 1860,
and when President Buchanan was called on for in
formation as to'who then tilled the office, he sent in a
message in which he examined the rccords of the
country for sixty-five years to show that:,• under the
act of 1795, vacancies could be filled ad interim, but
showing no calm in which a President had, in violation
of the Constitution, attempted to create and then till_ a
vacancy. Mr. RUBBABD. of Connecticut, opposed impeach
ment, arguing that even supposing Mr. Johnson to be
guilty, of violating the -tenure of office jaw that was
too trivial an offense to warrant such a serious Pro
ceeding as impeachment. The resident ,had simply
made a removal on paper, and the offense charged did
not endanger the public welfare, and was therefore •
marked with no moral turpitude, ', such as might justi
fy impeachment. -- Mr. 7Aneolh md found trellis !Cabi
net an officer. Postmaster-General Blair, who was not
in harmony with him in regard to lame portiona got ,
his policy. Republican Senators ;ban sent td Mr.

that hisreaignation would be accepted. In thist way
Mr. Lincoln bad rid himself of that Cabinet ofileer.
But no such course had any effect on Mi. Stanton. --
Referring to the question of -:".the ',trial of the im.-
peachment, he claimed that he could,not have a tilirr

THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN,I-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, MARCH 3,,1868.
Mr. /limey, of Nevada, followed on the aide of im
penclitnent.
Mr. terevetes, of Pennsylvania. sltfl eget the Clerk's

said: Never was a great malefactor so gently treated
as Andrew Johnson. The people have been unwilling
to blot the records of 'this con ntry by weighing his
crimes with their shame; shame for eat evince for so
long e time of his great crimes and misdemeanors.
The committee having omitted entirely hie wicked
abuse of the patronage of the government, his cor
ruption of the voters of the nation by seducing them
with the offers of office, and intimidating them by
threats of expulsion, and for the purpose of making
them abandon their honest principles and adopt the
bastard poldy which he had just conceived —a crime
more heinous than that which brouzht many ancients
to the block.
To ,this he was prompted by the game motive which
caused the angels fall. Socn alter the death of Mr.
Lincoln, 0110 the surrender of the o-Calk•ii Confed
erate army and possessions, the whole government of
tbelerritory, claimed by and conquered from the so
called Confederate States of America, devolved upon
the Congress of the United States, according to the
most familumandt well-adjudicat e d .principles of no.
tional and roun'cipal law. leaving nothing for the
President to do but to execute the laws of Congrt ss,
and govern them by military authority until Congress
shall otherwise direct. Yet Anclresv Johnson. assum
ing to establish an empire for hie own control, de
priving Congress of its just, prerogative, did erect
North Carolina and :other conquered territories into
Stares, giving them governments of his own creation,
and appointing over them rulers unknown to the laws
of the United States, and who could not by any such
laws bold anY office therein. He fixed the qualifica
tions of electors, directed who should hold office, and
especially directed them to send representatives to
both branches of Congress, ordering Congress to ad
mit them when they should arrive.
Congress refused, and asserted its sovereign prerog
ative to govern those territories, except during their
military occupancy, by their own inherent power. He
treated their pretension as idle, and refused to obey
them. When Congress subsequently passed acts,
dated March 2,186 i, and their supplements, to recon
struct these governments tinder republican forms by
the votes of the people, he pronounced them uncon
stitutional, and after they had become laws he advised
the people not to obey them, thus seeking to defeat
instead of to execute the laws of Congress.
All this was done after Congress had declared these
outlying States as possessing no government which
Congress could recognize, and that Congress alone had
the power and control over them. This monstrous
usurpation, worse than sedition, and little less than
treason, he adhered to by declaring, in his last annual
message and at other tinny, that there was no Con
grees, and all their acts were unconstitutional. These
being much more fundamental offenses, and, in my
judgment, much inure worthy of punishment, because
more fatal to the Lotion, the committee have omitted
n their articles of impeachment, because they were
determined to deal gently with the President, Encour
aged by this impunity, the President proceeded to new
acts of violence and disregard of the express com
mandment of Congress. It is these acts, trivial by
comparison. but grave in their positive character, for
which the committee has chosen to call him to an
swer, knowing that there le enough among them, if
half were omitted, to answer the great object. and
'purposes of impeachment. That proceeding can
reach only to the removal from office, and anything,
beyond what will effect that purpose, being un
necessary, may be looked upon as wanton cruelty.
Hence We tender mercies of this committee have
rested only on the moat trifling crimes and misde
meanors which they could select from the official life
of Andrew Johnson.
I will begin with the articles in their inverse order,
Dnd devote a few minutes to'each. The tenth article
charges the President with attempting to induce the
comma( der of this military district, Major-General
Emory, to disregard the law by which he considered
that be was bound to act, reqnhing orders to be is
sued through the General of the Army. The Presi
dent declared it to be unconstitutional, and contrary
to the General's commission. About the facts there
can be no doubt. There could be but one purpose.and
that was to use the army, If possible, for his opera
tions against Conger sa.
By the ninth article it la charged that the President
o1:c o llated the act regulating the tenure of certain civil
cu. by appointing Lorenzo Thomas. :Secretary of
War ad interim. on the 21st day of February. 1868.
(Teetering that he had that day removed Edwin M.
Stanton fromthe office of Secretary of War. Ile
ordered the said Lorenzo Thomas to seize the prop
erty, dre., and act in place of Edwin M. Stanton and
delivered to said Thomas a letter authorizing him to
do eaid acts. About the facts there can be no doubt,
es the certilied records aver it. What defense the
President will, make for this violation. direct and pal
pable. of the civil tenure bill we must wait and see.
The eighth article charges that the President con
spired with Lorenzo Thomas, to seize, take and pos
sess the property of the United States and the `oar
Department In violation of the act of March 2. 1867,
before referred to. This article is also proven by the
record.
The seventh article charges that the President en
tered into a conspiracy with Lorenzo Thomas, to pre
vent E. M. Stanton, Secretary Department of War,
from holding the office of Secretary of War, to which
he had been appointed tinder the laws of the United
stmts. All this is proven by a letter of authority pro
duced by Thomas when he repeatedly demanded pos
session from tee incumbent,and needs no further proof
t ill there be a satisfactory answer.
Article six charges that the President conspired
with Thomas to seize the property of the War Depart
ment, contrary to both the acts of Jul), 1867, and the
act of March 2. before referred to. This is only
proven by the same letter of authority issued by the
President to said Thomas, and repeatedly produced
by the latter to the Secretary of War in his attempt to
gain possessionlof said property.
. As lam now only showing the evidence that wil
be given. it would be wrong to anticipate the defense
by argument till the authority upon which it rests
shall be shown.
Article five charges that, the President conspired
with Thomas to hinder the execution of the tenure
of-office bill, passed March 2. 1867. and to prevent
Edwin M. StaotonrS - acfatary of War, from holding'
said loffice he same evidence is conclusive upon
this poi
The ourth article charges that the President, in
conspiracy with Lorenzo Thomas ano with other per
sons untmown. did attempt, by intimidation and
threats, to prevent E. M. Stanton, then and there
Secretary of War, from holding said office, contrary
to the provisions of the act of July 3. 1861.
The third article charges that the President, on the
21st day of February, 1868. while the Senate was in
session, did appoint Lorenzo Thomas Secretary of
War ad interim, without the advice and consent of
the Senate. no vacancy having occurred during the
recess of the Senate, or then existing. The commis
sion produced by Major-General Thomas and the
copy given in evidence places that fact beyond dis
pute.
By the second section of the second article of the
Constitution the President is empowered t) make ap
pointments to office, by and with - the advice and con
sent of the Senate.'but not while the Senate is in ses
sion without such consent. The appointment, there
fore, of General Thomas was a palpable violation of
the Constitution.
-- The first article charges that -tile.-President, in vio
lation of the Constitution and laws of the United
Mates, issued an order removing E. M. Stanton from
the oflice of Secretary of War, commissioned by and
with the advice and consent of the Senate, having
suspended Mr. Stanton from his office during the re
cess of the Senate, and within twenty-six days after
the meeting of the next session of the Senate, on the
12th day of December, having reported .to the Senate
such suspension, with the evidence and reasons for
his action, and the Senate on the 14th of January
having considered the evidence, refused to
concur in the suspension whereby the said Edwin
M. Stanton, by virtue of the tenure-of-office bill,
did forthwith resume the functions of Ills office, of
which the said President had due notice, as appeart
from the record; wberemmuthe_President - assumed to
remove the Secretary of War !rem office:m(lth appoint
General Thomas Secretary at/ interim, and ordered
the delivery of possession, which order was unlaw
fully issued in violation of the act to regulate the
tenure of certain civil officesould contrary to the
provisions of the Constitution of the United States
without the advice and consent of the Senate, they
being in session.
By some unaccountable misunderstanding the article
which I holden my hand, and which we may call one
and one-half, has been dropped out, for I do not find
it in the articles in distinct language. I propose to
offer an amendment. It is that "On the 12111 of
August, during the recess of Congress, Andrew John
-eon; President of the United States, did suspend from
office Edwin M. Stanton, and that, while the Senate
was considering the sufficiency of the reasons reported,
Andrew Johnson formed a deliberate design and de
termined to prevent the said Edwin M. Stantod from
'forthwith resuming the duties of hie office,' thereby
committing a misdemeanor and offense, and that, when
he was defeated in accomplishing the design by the
integrity and fidelity of the Secretary ad interim,. lie
sought to arrive at the same end by giving a letter of
authority to ono Lorenzo Thomas, Adjutant-General
of the Army, to 'act - as Secretary;of 'War ad interim,
and severely censured the former Secretary ad interim,
for not yielding to his efforts to make him betray his
trusts."
This charge, said Mr. Stevens, is nowhere contained
in the articles reported by the committee, and unless
it be inserted there can be no trial en it. If there be
shrewd lawyers, BSI know there will be, and cavilling
hjudges, and if without that article they do not acquit
bn,thetare - greetterthani4everwarr - when I com
menced to practice at the Court of Quarter Sessions:
If that article be inserted, the President's own letters
show both the removal and the attempt to defeat the
reinstatement; and although the Senate should de
cidethe other charges-in his , favor, how could he or
his counsel hope to escape front this one 1' And it is

Mr. Bontwell then offered various amendments to
the article of impeachment, all of which were verbal
and unimportant, except as to the striking out the
seventh article entirely. The amendments were
adopted.
Mr. JIIIk.iCKER, of Rhode Island. offered an amend
ment in the shape of an addittonai article, charging the
President with an attempt to get control of the mil
itary power of the government in a mode not in ac
cordance with the Constitution, and to prevent the
army being an Instrument to execute the howl of the
United States.
The amendment was rejected.
Mr. Beaten, of Massachusetts, offered the follow
ing as an additional article: That Bald Andrew John
son, President of the United States. unmindful of the
high duties of his office and the dignity and proprie
ties thereof, and of the harmony and courtesies which
ought to exist and he maintained between the Execu
tive and Legislative branches of the government of the
United States, designing and intending to set aside the
rightful authority and powers of Congress, did attempt
to bring into disgrace, ridicule, hatred. contempt
and reproach the Congress of the United States, and
the several branches thereof, to impair and destroy
the regard and respect of all the good people of the
United States for the Congress and' legislative power
thereof, which all officers of the government ought
inviolably to preserve and maintain, and to excite the
odium and resentment of all good people of the United
States against Congress dad the laws by it duly and
constitutionally enatted, and in pursuance of his said
design and intent, openly and publicly, and before
divers assemblages of citizens of the United States.
convened in divers pads thereof, to meet and receive.
said Andrew Johnson as the Chldf Magistrate of the
United States, did, on the eighteenth day of August,
In the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-six, and on divers other days and times. as
Well before as afterwards, make and declare, with a
loud voice, certain intemperate, inflammatory and
scandalous harangues, and did therein utter loud
threats and bitter menaces, as well against Congress
as the laws of the Put ted States duly enacted thereby,
amid the cries, jeers and laughter of the multitudes
then assembled in hearing, which are set forth in the
several specifications hereinafter written. in substance
and effect, that is to say:
Specification Ist. In this, that at Washington, in
the District of Columbia, in the Executive Mansion,
to a committee of citizens who called upon the Pres
ident of the United States, speaking of and concern
ing the Congress of the United States, said Andrew
Johnson, President of the United States, heretofore,
to wit, on the 18th day of August, in the year of our
Lord 1865, in a loud voice, declared in substance and
effect, among other things, that le to say: "So far as
the Executive Department of the government is con
cerned, the effort has been made to restore the Union,
to heal the breach, to pour oil into the wounds which
were consequent upon the struggle, and, to speak in a
common phrase, to prepare, as the learned and wise
physician would," a plaster healing in character and
coextensive with th,e wound.
"We thought and we think the we had partially suc
ceeded, bat as the work progresses, as reconstruction
seemed to be taking place and the country was becom
ing reunited, we found a disturbing and moving ele
ment opposing us. In alluding to that element it
shall go no farther than your convention. and the dis
tinguished sentleman who has delivered the report of
the proceedings, I shall make no reference that Ido
not believe, and the time and the occasion justify.
"We have witnessed in one department of thegov
ernment every endeavor to prevent the restoration,
peace, harmony and union. We have seen hanging
upon the verge of the government, as it were, a body
called or which assumes to be the Congress of the
United States, while, in fact, it is only a part of the
•,States. We have seen this Congress pretend to be
for the Union,when its every stepand act tended to per
disunion and make a disruption of the States
inevitable. We have seen Congress gradually en
croach, step by step, upon constitutional rights, and
violate day after day, and month after month, funda
mental principles of the government. We have seen
a Congress that seemed to forget that there was a
limit to the sphere and scope or legislation. We have
seen a Congress in a minority assume to exercise
poweriwbich allowed to be consummated would re
sult in despotism or monarchy itself. " •
Specification 2. In this, that at Cleveland, in the
Stale of Ohio, heretofore, to wit: On the third day of
September, in the year of our Lord 1866, before a pub
lic assemblage of citizens and others, said Andrew
Johnson, President of the United States, speaking of
end concerning the Congress of the United States, did,
in a loud voice, declare in substance and effect, among
other things, that is to say: "I will tell you what I did
do—l called upon your Congress that is trying to break
up the government. In conclusion, beside that Core
s ress had taken much pains to poison the•isonstitnerits
against him, what has Congress done ? Have they
done anything to restoretheNnion of the States ? No.
On the contrary. they had done everything to prevent
it; and because he stoolnow where he did when the
rebeldon . commenced, he had been denounced as a
traitor. Who bad run greater risks or made greater
sacrifices than himself? But Congress, factions and
domineering, had undertaken to poison the minds of
the Atnerican people."
Specification 3. In tilts case that at St. Louts, in the
State of Missouri, heretofore to wit: On the Bth day
of September, in the year of oar Lord 1866, before a
public assemblage of citizens and others, said Andrew
Johnson, President of the United States, speaking of
acts concerning the Congress of the United States,
did, in a loud voice, declare in substance and effect
among other things, that is to say: "Go on, perhaps if
you had a word or two on the subject of New Or=
leans, you might understand more about it than you
do. and if yon will go back and ascertain the cause
of the riot at New Orleans perhaps you will not be so
prompt in calling oat 'No.'
If you will take op the riot of New Orleans and
trace it back to its source and its immediate cause,
thatwas
oull find out wh for the bloo
that shed there. o
Ifwas
you responsible
will take tin th h e riot at
New Orleans and trace it back to the Radical Con
gress, you will find that the riot at New Orleans was
substantially planned. If you will take up the pro
ceedings in their caucuses, you will understand that
they knew that a convention was to be called which
was extinct by its powers having expired; that it was
said that the intention was that a newgovernment
was to be organized, and on the organization of that
government the intention was to enfranchise one por
tion of the population, called the colored population,
and who had been emancipated, and at the same time
disfranchise white men.
When you design to talk about New Orleans you
Niught to understand what you are talking about.
When you read the speeches that were made, and take
np the facts on the Friday and Saturday before that
onvention sat. you will find that speeches were made
incendiary in their character, exciting that portion of
the population—the black -- population—to arm them
selves end prepare for the shedding of blood. You
will also fled that Convention did assemble, in viola
tion of law, and the intention of that Convention was
to supersede the organized authorities in the State of
Louisiana, which had been organized by the govern
ment of the United States, and every man engaged in
that rebellion, in that Convention, with the intention
of superseding and upturning the civil government
which had been recognized by the government of the
United States—l say that he was a traitor to the Con
stitution of the United States, and hence you find that
another rebellion was commenced, having its origin in
the Radical Congress riot. So much for the New Orleans
riot. And there was the cause and the origin of the
blood that wee. shed. and every drop of blood that
was shetlia upon theirekiets, azaTheyare responsible.
I could test this thing a little closer, but Will not do
it litre to-night But when you talk about the causes
and conaequences that resulted from proceedings of
that kind, perhaps as' have been introduced here and
you have provoked questions of this kind, though it
does not provoke me, I tell you a hew wholesome
things that have been done by this Radical Congress
in connection with New Orleans and the extension of
the elective franchise. ..1 know that I have, been tra
duced and abused. I know that it has come iii'ad.
vance of me here as elsewhere, that I have attempted
to exercise en arbitrary power in resisting laws that
were intended 'to be forced upon the government.
That lihad exercised that power. That I had'absnd
oried theparty that elected me, and that I was a traitor
because I exercised the veto power in attempting and
did arrest for a time that which was called a "freed
men's bureau" bill.
Yes, that I was a traitor. And I have been tra
duced, I have been slandered* I have been maligned,
I have been called Judas Iscariot, and all that. Now,
my countrymen, hereto-night, it is very easy to in
dulge in epithets, it is easy to call a man Judas, and
cry out traitor, but when he is called upon to give
arguments and facts Leis very often found Wanting.
Judas Iscariot—Judas! There was a Judas, and he
was ono of the twelve Apostles. 0, yes, the twelve
Apostles had a Christ. and he never could have had 'a
Judas unless he had twelve Apostles. IL I have played
the Jtidas who has been my Christ 'that I have played
the Judas with? Was itr Thad. , B tevens? Was it
Wendell. Phillips? Was- it , Charles, Sumner? They
are the men that stop and compare theniseives with
the.l34.vteer, and • everybody that difteretwitte them in
opinion, ,andffleSte etay and - 'mut - their 'diabelical
and nefarious policy, is to be denounc:ed as a Judas."'
Well, let me say to yon, if yon stand by me in
this action, if yon will stand rbje, me in tryin to.give
the people a fair chance--soldiers and citizens—to
participate in these - tdildes, God: beingwillink,.l
kick them out. I will kick them out Piet as fast as I
can. Let me say to yen, A_rfconcludiNt; that' when I
have said what I intendedto say I was not • proVolted

As the Clerk indicated the hour of forrr,,the Commit
tee, IL accordance with the Order of ;the Efouse, rose.
Mr. Dawes reported action to the douse, ' • -
The amendment proposed to he offered by. Mr.
Stevens, and all other amendments being thus ett=
eroded from being offered, ' '
Mr. ELDRIDOB rose and said: I am Instructed by
forty-five members of the Home of Representatives to
present a:communication from them to the Reuse, and
to ask that it be read. It is respectful in terms and is,
iti my opinion, privileged. -•
The ttimenan—The gentleman may consider that
a protest is privileged, but the digest shows that it is
not so considered in parliamentary law. •
Mr. Ei.namt.E—Then I ask unanimous content to
present this communication from forty-flve members
of the House, and on that I propose to submit 'a mo
tion.
Numerous objections were made on the Republican
side of the Rouse.
Mr. Rionunon —Then I ask consent to have, the
communication printed in the Globe.' • '
Obfectiobs were made.
Mr. FARNSWORTH, of Illinois, made the point of
order that under the order of the House no proposition
should be entertained, but that the House should pro
ceed to vote on the articles of impeachment.
The Sreakest sustained the point of order.
The following Is a copy of the protest sought to be
presented:
The undersigned. members of the Fortieth Congress
of the United States, representing directly or in prin
ciple more than one-halt of the whole people of the
United States. do hereby, in the name of law and jus
tice and in behalf of those they represent, most sol
emnly protest against the tyranny and injustice prac
tised by the majority of the House in violating the
sacred rights of free debate and unconstrained delib
eration upon the greatest question ever brought be
fore an American Congress.
The rules of the House, made for the protection of
minorities, and by' a *Strict adherence to which the
weaker party can only be protected from these irregu
larities and abuses which the wantonness of power is
but too often apt to suggest to large' and successful
majorities; have been, during this entire Congress,
In violation of their true spirit and intent, wantonly
and unprecedentedly suspended and set asidemot upon
a particular and pressing matter, bat upon all pend
ing subjects of legislation, so that by this reck
less' and arbitrary suspension of • the rules, and
the wanton abase of the previous question, the
rights or the minority have been utterly disregarded.
The House of Representatives have ceased to oe a de
liberative body, and the minority have been compelled
to vote upon the most important questions without
any proper or reasonable time for debate or considera
tion. To each an extent has this dangerous and op
pressive practice obtained, that measures affecting vi
tally the whole country i and the dearest interests of
our constitnents—tendng, as we believe, to the sub
version of our republican form of government, in their
very nature demanding of the people's representatives
the most careful examination and scrutiny--have been
hurried throught,the formelof legislation without being
printed, withodt-iine word of debate or,onemerinent's
consideration--without, indeed, the opportunity for
the undersigned to protest, except in violation-of the
then operating order, enforced by the majority as the
order of the House.
These alarming abuses of power might not seem to
demand this formal protest if we were not forced to
the belief that a determination exists with the majority
to revolutionize this government by destroying the
other co-ordinate branches, and vesting nil the powers
of the government in Congress. In the steps taken to
depose the President of the United States, we are ad
monished that there is no end to those oppressive
measures to cripple the power and silence the voice of
the minority.
The resolution was rushed through the House under
the operation of the previous question referring the
matter to the Committee on Reconstruction. The com
mittee, in hot haste, sitting when the House was in
Session, in violation of one of Its express rules, con
sidered, and by a strict, party vote adopted and pre
sented it again to the House for its action, and then
was exhibited one of the most extraordinary spec
tacle.s ever witnessed in a deliberative parliamentary
body.
Alembers were. allowed, some thirty minutes, some
twenty, some ten, some five, and some one minute
only, to discuss the most momentous questions ever
presented in Congress. Many could not even get one
minute under the arbitrary rule of the majority ; and
more than half of those even of the party voting to
enforce the previous questton, who desired to be
heard, were permitted only to print speeches in the
Gfrze, after the question upon the resolution was-de
cided, and which were never delivered in the House.
No comment can demonetrate more completely than
the facts themselves the vicionenees and illegality of
such proceedings. But this wanton and excessive
use of the power of the majority dots not stop here.
While the committee were in session upon the fur
ther proceedings to remove the President, and in an
ticipation of its action under the operation of the,
previous question without debate, in violation of an'
express rule, new special and most extraordinary rules
fir the conduct of this proceeding, changing, without
previous notice, the standing rules of the House, were
adopted. to further limit debate, and more completely
to place the minority in the power and at the mercy of
the majority.
Thus, while the majority of Congress is warring
upon the other co-ordinate departments, the Execu
tive and the Judicial, endeavoring to subjugate and
bring them both under, the will and control of Con
gress, the minority of the House of Representatives
are steadily and surely being stripped of all power, and
their constituents deprived of all representative - voice
in the councils of the nation. We do, therefore,
most solemnly protest against the indecorous and un
dignified haste with which the majority of this
House inaugurated, presented and • rushed
through, by a strict party vote, in plain and
palpable violation of one of the standing roles
of the House ,a resolution demanding the impeach
ment of the Chief Magistrate of the people for al
leged high crimes and misdemeanors in office, when
the gravity of the charge, the character of the high
office against which the attack was directed, and the
nut or eeeen and tremendous consequences which might
result therefrom to the peace and .prosperity of the
people, called for the exercise of the calmest and
wisest judgment, the most unprejudiced and impartial
deliberation on the part of those N rho had such pro.
ceedings in charge.
We do also most solemnly protest against this thrice
repeated attempt to degrade and break down ono of
the great co-ordinate branches of the government;
through the spirit of party hatred and vengeance
against the person who, by the Constitution, is in the
rightful and conscientious discharge of its functions,
thus consuming the precious time which ought to be
faithfully devoted to en earnest effort to relieve the
pressing wants of the people a restoration of a torn
and distracted country to union and good order, and
to lightening the burden of a taxation which is press
ing down all the energies of trade and commerce to
the point of universal bankruptcy and ruin.
We do again most solemnly protests againstand pro
foundly deprecate and deplore any and all attempts to
array in hostile antagonism to each other, any of the
departments of the government upon the mere ques
tion of the constitutionality.or construction of a law
of Onngress, the proper jurisdiction and final adjudis
cation of which belong exclusively to the Judicial
tribenale, and we hereby warn the people of the
United States that the public liberty and the existence
of free institutions are involved in• this suicidal
struggle. and that they are in imminent peril of utter
overthrow.
We do further most solemnly protest against that,
wild and radical spirit of innovation upon the early
and well-eettled practice of the government—a prac
tice established by the men who framed the Constita
tion,and who best understood its spirit and meaning--
which put the Chief Magistrate of the Republic, the
representative of the , dignity and power of the peo
ple, at the mercy of ono of his subordinates, assuming
to be the Secretary of War,--in violation of his own
prom:pruned convictions ef the law, and has the
unblushing effrontery to place himself in the unwar
ranted position of communicating directly with Con
gress, in utter contempt of the authority of hie super
ior, and with the deliberate nerpose of resisting his
authority.
The undersigned. therefore, in their character of
representatives of the people, being demtvedaby the
despotic power of an inexorable majority of the high
privileges of debate, that great instrument in the dis
covery of truth, and the most cherished heritage of a
free people, do hereby solemnly and earnestly protest'
against these Infractions of the rights 'of the people,'
and respectfully ash .that this their-protest may be
spread noon the journal of the HOnse:'•• * -
