NEW PUBLICATIONS.
Leypoldt Bolt, New York, have,latel§
Dublished _three very useful, workS,' of 'an
educational character. "Landpaarks of 'llis-
Ury," by Miss Yonge. This la the third vol
ume in a series. The former volume treated
of Ancient and Medieval History. The third
lie devoted to Modern history. It is a suc
cinct account of the prominent features ,of
European history, from the beginning of the
sixteenth century down to the close of Napo
leon's career. It is classified under the heads
of "The Reformation," "The Wars of Reli
gion," "The Thirty Years'. War," "Louis
XIV.," ''The'Age of Philosophy," "The Era
of Revolution." Within a very compact form
it presents a very valuable compendium of
history, which may be introduced into our
schools with great advantage.
"The Anglo-Saxon Manual," by Samuel
M. Shute, of Columbia 'College, Washington,
D. C., is a new philological text book, upon,
a subject toward which a rapidly increasing
interest and attention is now directed. The
Anglo-Saxon literature is neither very exten
sive or very valuable, but the language
enters so largely into the construction of our
own, that an acquaintance with it is impor
taut to all thorough scholars in the English
wngue.
"Easy French Reading," is the third of
Leypoldt Bolt's new school books. It is
the work of Prof. E. T. Fisher, of Brooklyn,
and consists of selections of historical anec
dotes, for the use of beginners in the study of
French. The work is admirably arranged,
with a copious glossary in the form of foot
notes, and a brief grammar, by C. J. De
lille. These works are all for sale by J. B.
Lippincott & Co.
"The Law Register," for 180 S, has just
been published by the Merchant's Union Law
Company, New York. The work is one of
great value to merchants and professional
men of all classeg. It is edited by the , Secre
tary of the Company, Mr. John Livingston,
and is divided into four parts. Part I. con
tains a full list of tbeltiwyeri of the - United
States, comprising nearly 40,000 names and
addresses. Part 11. contains the official regis
ter of the executive and judicial departments
of all the States and_ Territories, with the
times and places for holding the various
cotes. Part 111. is a compilation of the State
laws relative to the collection of debts, in
structions for the execution of deeds, &c.
Part IV. is an official directory of the execu
tive, judicial, legislative and diplomatic
brunches of the Federal Government. includ
ing biographical sketches of the members of
the Fortieth Congress.
The Law Register is a most complete book
of reference for business men, and is of par
ticular value in its bearing upon the collec
tion of debts. The work of collecting this
this mass of useful material appears to have
been well and thoroughly done, and will be
a most valuable directory not only to the legal
fraternity, but to bankers and merchants gen
erally.
G. W. Pitcher has received from D. Ap
pleton & Co„ a valuable text-book, called
"Physiology and Hygiene." It is the joint
production of Thomas H. Huxley, LL. D.
F. R. B. and William Jay Youmans, M. D.,
a brother of the well-known Professor E. L.
Youmans. The Physiological department
of the book is mainly the work of Professor
Huxley, adapted to the circumstances and
requirements of American education. The
chapters on Hygiene are the work of Dr.
Youmans. The book is admirably adapted
as an educational work. While the language
used is plain and concise, there is no attempt
at that "popularizing" process which discards
all technicalities, and leaves the student
without any proper method of expressing the
ideaS which he acquires, or of pursuing his
studies in other, books. The work deserves
the careful attention of teachers.
About Babies.
We love babies. We confess it without a
blush, and experience a species of reckless
satisfaction in thinking what a number of'
r gentleinin there will be amongst our readers
upon whom this unqualified assertion will
come like a shock. Yet who could pity a
man who does not love babies? Let any
man object to the little plump precursors of
posterity, and he places you at once in pos
session of the exact breadth and dimension of
his mind. Dr. Johnson used to proportion
the value of a man's intellect to the quality of
his humor. We go further, and proportion
intelleet.to _the ..capacity-of- his sym
pathies. The test of a man's sympathies is
his love for babies. lie that has not this love
in his soul let him not be trusted.
For our part, we firmly believe that there
are few men in the world who, in the secret
depths of their souls have not a sneaking af
fection for babies. A. baby carries an at
mosphere about with it too suggestive to be
breathed by a man without his experiencing
the sense of a renewal of some one feeling
within him, hushed as a distant memory,
and silentin the chunor of.the world iii which
he lives - and - moves.' The "fellow feeling en
gendered by the natural fact of his having
been a baby himself once makes him kind.
Nursery traditions are revived within him.
He remembers that the very old lady whom
habit has taught him to regard much in the
same way that you regard an old chair or
picture that has been a long time in the
family, possesses a past; and that with that
past he is very intimately associated. The
=winking eyes of the baby that stare at him
with a fixedness that is almost contemptuous,
and certainly very embarrassing, are full of
memories of himself. He ascents in the
round. =speculating, yet living young eyes,
the vision of aide that he once lived. Deeply
is that man to be pitied who, on watching a
baby, has not upon him a keen sense of the
deep and subtle mystery of human life.
We do not say that it is necessary for a
man to love every kiiid of a baby. Did we
assert such a thing in sincerity, we should
display as profound an ignorance of human
nature as the tractarian that calls upon all
men to love negroes and aborigines like
brothers.. There-are some babiet.which you
eininot love. What is odd is, that there are
babies, which do not seem to want your love.
They repel each friendly overture with kicks
and appal you with hideous faces on your
putting Out your lips for a kiss. They we al
most ferocious in their precocity. Such ri:
baby it' held in the arms of a pretty little
mother will menace you with clenched
fists, and an expression upon its moist
mouth that warns you to stand off!
if you admire it=it does't want
your admiration, mind ! — Vott must admire _
it - t t a distance. Advance but - a step, and
you provoke sounds compared to which. the
vies ,of the Lilliputians, on witnessing their
royal palace ID fames, must have been musi-
cal. There are babiei which men regard
w - ith ajustitiable awe. They are the dragons
of,the.bedchamber , ,and the nursery. They
never sleep soundly, and mothers force you to
•Walkgentlyfor fearer d istnrbin g theln:' Nu - deg
crow visibly wrinkled in mindine them. Even
their fathers are not certain as to the senti
ments with which they should be contem
plated. They have only one friend, and that
is the mother.
This, however, it must be confessed, is a
description of baby very much in the mino
rity. Other varieties of babies there, are each
of which is good. It is a popular fallacy to
suppose that all babies are alike. It is true
that this is a fallacy which mothers hold in
great contempt; but there are lots of people
in this world who can never tell the difference
between one baby and another. As well
might such people fancy that there is no dif
ference between all the swarms of human
creatures who throng the streets of
a morning. The truth is, there are
so many kinds of babies, that it would
occupy several volumes to give even
a faint idea of thetr numbers and appear
ances. There is the small shrivelled baby, as
different from other babies as light is from
darkness, as a tallow candle from a tivilh
room. The mother of the fat, healthy child,
with legs so full of health and life as never to
be able to keep still for a moment, would not
thank you for seeing no difference between
her baby and the baby with precocious eyes
and faint voice, There are some babies whom
a square foot of flannel will completely hide;
flat babies whom you may put in any posture
you will, who lie motionless in the attitude
they are made to assume, and who cry with
a thin, small sound, like a healthy baby's
voice heard at ionie distance off through a
fog. There are babies whose eyes do not fol
low you; get within their focus, and they will
stare upon you with a rigid outlook which will
make you feel quite uncomfortable—like the
eyes of the portrait of a criminal. There are
other babies who seem friendly disposed to
everybody but their mothers. See such a baby
in its mother's arms, and you will remark
that, after it has peaceably suffered you to
kiss it, it will turn and complacently ham
mer its mother's cheeks with its fists; it will
thrust its short fingers into her mouth, and
exert its full infantine vigor to tear it open.
It is the natural enemy to neatness. It will
pull its mother's hair over her eyes; after
which its next onslaught will be upon her,
collar.' - This - is the bialiy that upsets the
starch or the ink, that will touch the hot
iron, that bas an ever-recurring tendency to
crawl inside the fender. This is the baby
that is forever losing its shoe. It will make a
dog's life a burthen to it by clinging to its
tail. It is never without a mark upon it,
indicative of the vengeance of an outraged
cat. It is always making an effort to upset
the candle; and if you hold it up to the piano,
both legs and arms will instantly be enlisted
in the creation of the most hideous noise.
Wordsworth calls the child "father to the
man," having in his mind at the time of com
position, we suppose; Shakespeare's "The
wish was father, Harry, to the thought." If
by child Wordsworth meant baby, we do not
at all agree with him. The uncertainty of
the future is never more astonishingly testified
than by the development of babies. The
feeble grow strong, the strong grow sick.
The meagre, melancholy, dull infant turns
outtobeawisehright man; theprecocious child,
whose intellectual infancy was the pride of
its mother, whose full, intelligent eye inspired
the father with all kinds of hopes, develops
itself into dullest mediocrity, unpromising, un
profitable. But let us cease hare. The baby
is a fruitful theme, and the hereafter of life
suggested by the word is inviting enough to
provoke ust into a disquisition that might
hardly prove grateful by its length even to the
"indulgent reader."
Revival of the "Ghee Ordeal" in
India.
There is a movement among some of the
native tribes in India to revive the "Ghee
ordeal," a practice which, until about thirty
years ago, had prevailed in that country
from time immemorial. The Madras Times
says:
"The custom among the Brahmins of Ma
layalam (intended to prevent the division of
family property) of not allowing the younger
members of families to marry, and yet, of en
forcing female chastity with a rigor unknown
in any other society in India, made this or
deal of importance. It was resorted to where
suspicion existed, but the man protested his
innocence, and inquiry left the case one of
doubt, and the question of reception in holy
society had to be settled. The ordeal could
be conducted only in the state pagoda
of Shuchindram, a village about eight
miles from Cape Comorin. The
presence of some hereditary religious
chiefs was necessary, the authority of the
arbiters who had conducted the investigation,
and the written sanction of the Maharajah.
These obtained, the Namboory under suspi
cion, after certain preliminary ceremonies
and fasts, attended in the pagoda, and had
there to plunge his hand into a brazen vessel
about eight inches deep, filled with boiling
ghee, and to bring up from the bottom a
small silver ball; not much larger than a soli
taire glass ball, which hail been cast in. It .
was often not until the third of fOlirtliphinge
that the accused picked up the ball. his
hand was then wrapped up in tender plan
tain leaves; on the third day it was examined.
A scalded hand was a proof of crime; the ab
sence of blister was accepted as confirmation
of innocence. About thirty years ago, at the
urgent instance. of the British government,the
then Maharajah abolished the practice.
"About two years ago, however, some
members of the Namboory aristocracy, who
bad relatives placed in the inconveniences of
the 'doubtful state;' agitated . at the time Of,
the Murajepam Carnival the question of the
ghee ordeal; and with the influence of the late
first judge of the Suddur Court, one of their
own class, a sort of unwritten permission was
procured for a sham, or 'cold ghee' ordeal.
Some Namboories recently underwent this,
and of course came out with sound hands,
and returning to their homes, attempted to
mingle in holy society. But a large and
powerful section of Namboories is opposed to
this purification by sham ordeal, as inade
quate to warrant a reception into their society;
and sonic of the leading members of this
I party have recently had interviews upon the
subject with the Maharajah, the Dewan, and
the British Resident.)
is said that the Maharajah is willing to
discountenance the sham ordeal, and to grant
endorsements to the effect that the Travan
core government is unable to revive the old
practice without the sanction of the Madras
government. But it is represented that there
is some reason to think that it will be held
that there ought not to be any government
prohibition, as the ordeal would
. be entirely
voluntary in the legal sense, though of course
submitted to, in consequence of the pressure
of public opinion. The sale of one's -teeth to
a dentist is cited as similar in principle."
Additional Impeachment Testimony.
The following is the testimony of Burt Van
Dein before the Impeachment Committee, taken
on - February 26, 1868:

Mr. Stanton, and his son, were also present.
Q.—Now state what took place; A.—General
Thomas came in from the President; we saw him
coming and waited iu the office of the Secretary
of War until he came; when he came in at first
he said, "Good morning, Mr. Secretary and gen
titnit3);" we all said, "Good morning;" he said
he did not wish to interfere or take the time of
'the Secretary while • these gentlemen were
present; Secretary Stanton replied that he had no
business on his hands in particular, and that if
he (Thomas) had anything to say, to say it; the
folluwing conversation then ensued:
General.Thomas=l am Secretary of War all
interim, and am ordered by the President of the
United States to take charge of the office.
Secretary Stanton—l order you to repair to
your room and exercise your 'functions as Adju
tant-General of the Army.

but I shall obey the orders of the President,

General Thomas—l shall not do so
Secretary Stanton—Then You may stand there
if you please, but yon cannot act as Secretary of
War. If you do, yon do so at your peril.
General rhoruas—l shall act as Secretary of
War.
This. conversation• occurred in the Secretary's
cam. General Thomas then went into General
Schriver's room, followed there by Mr. Stanton,
111 r. Ferry t General Moorhead and myself, when
the following conversation occurred
Secretary Stanton—Then you claim to be here
as Secretary of War, and refuse to obey my or
ders ?
General Thomas—l do so. I shall require the
mails of the War Department to be delivered to
me, and shall transact all the business of the War
Department. •
That is the substance of the conversation.
There were some other things said in the mean
time, which I have not thought it necessary to
repeat.
'Terrible Riot in New York Enit
grants on Ward's Island Have a.
riteited Hattie.
i From the New York Poet of last e„,N:ening.l
The riot which occurred-111 g traruing on
Ward's•lsland broke out among the enilltr , gants
sent there for hospital treatment by the Conithi,
Eiqnere of Emigration. It is said that the etnr-.;„
grants had violated some of the rules of disci
pline, and in enforcing obedience the keepers
were attacked and severely beaten.
Information of the disturbance was sent to
Captain Bennett, of the Twelfth Precinct, and
that of finding , that he did not have stilllcient
force to quell the riot, telegraphed, at eleven
a'clock, to the pollee headquarters for aid.
Superintendent Kennedy immediately cave or
ders to the captains of the Seventh, Tenth, Thir
teenth. Eleventh, Seventeenth, Elighteenth,T wen
ty-first, Twenty-ninth, Nineteenth and Twenty
third Precincts to send ten men each, and at noon
they lett for the island by the police boat Metro
politan. Those that could not be taken by the sten
mer went up by the Third avenue cars to .One
hundred-and-seventeenth street, where they
MIE:AM 111 small boats. The East river was tilled
with floatine ice, and the men had great trouble
in reaching the scene of the riot.
No particulars could be obtained of the Sight
owing to the difficulty of communication with the
island, and although Superintendent Kennedy
telegraphed several times to the Station House in
One Hundred -and Twenty-fifth street for the
mete, tin only reply sent wts received at Pollee
headquarters at a late hour this afternoon, and
Was as follows:—"Itiot quelled—ringleaders ar
rested."
About 8 o'clock this morning thc riot—which
was a continuation of a quarrel among the emi
grants yesterday, during winch one man was
stabbed—broke out between the Irish and other
emigrants on Ward's Island.
The Irish rallied with a green veil. which they
obtained from a woman, shouting, "Rally around
the flag, boys!" They wen maieneu down w
building where the Germans had barricaded
themselves in the basement, and made an attack-.
Word having been sent to the Twelfth Ward
Police, the Irish cried, "rhea tau °dicers over
board."
The poilee landed twelve men, who marched to
the building where the Germane were attacked.
The mob was ordered to disperse, but did not
obey. They were armed with stones, brickbats,
clubs and other weapons. A mowing machine
was broken, and the knives were used for
weapons. The police were compelled to fire
upon the crowd, and wounded four men, one of
whom had his left arm badly shattered.
Other policemen having landed, the mcb was
attacked with clubs, and twenty-six men were
wounded. Some received fractures of the skull,
while others had their arms broken, and received
other injuries. About eleven o'clock a sufficient
body of pollee had arrived to quell the disturb
ance. The superintendent of the Island passed
around among the emigrants, and eighty-six of
the rioters were arrested. The worst ring
aMrs secreted themselves and could not be
found.
The hospital had the appearance of an artily
hospital dining the war, from the number of
wounded.
Thirty-five officers will remain on the ground
all eight, as threats have been made by the Irish
to kill the Germans.
The Mineral Resources of the West.
The Secretary of the Treasury has transmit
mitted to CongresS the report of J. Ross Browne
OD the mineral resources of the States and terri
tories west of the Rocky Mountains. This work
has been in progress for upwards of a year, and .

mining interests. including tlie geological forma
tion of the mineral belt:, the number of mines in
operation, their yield and condition, the treat
ment of ores, and some general considerations
OD the precious metals.
The report will make about six hundred printed
pages, and will probably be stereotyped, and a
large number of copies printed for general cir
culation. Mr. Browne estimates the yield of the
different States and territories for 1869 as follows:
California . x 25.000,000
Nevada ?0,00.0,000

New Mexico 500,000
Arizona 500,000
Mis*cellaneous 5,000,000
Total $75,000,000
The entire product of the precious metals
from 1818 to January 1, 1868, is estimated as fol

WASHINGTON, March 5.
fheyfre Fenate k was opened atvoisnal with
ProYee by the ,ChittiNis, Rot. Dr. Gray.. who be..
seeched that the Senate might he prepared for the
discharge of the duties and the high trusts commit-.
ted to their care, that God would preside over all
their deliberations, that all partisan zeal, all scl-
Ash nil:Alves, all sectional prejudices should bow
the supremacy of the law and the supreme
releof right, that, the decision. to be reached iby
this'aemart eliould be 'such as will be approved and
rafifted'in the high court of Heaven, and To
which all the people would say amen.
The chair laid Wore the "Senate a resolution
passed by the Copatitutional,Cenvention of South
Carolina,' on theptirtof the loyal people of that
State, thanking Congress, the Secretary of War
and the General of the Army for their devotion
to the constitution and laws.
Several renionetrancea were read against Mr.
Wilson's bill In regard to commutations of army
officers' pay, and referred to the Committee on
Military Affairs. •
lxise.Frellughuyeerr(N. J.) , presented the pet!.
ilotenteitizens of New jersey, praying that the
new territory to be erected from the Territory of
Dakotah be named Lincoln. Referred to the
Committee on Territories.
Mr. Anthony (R. I.), from the Committee on
Naval Affitimieported a bill for the relief of John
S. Cunningham, Paymaster U. S. Navy. The
bill, which appropriates i 51,671 07 to remunerate
him for government money stolen from him, was
passed.. • •
Mr. Frelinghysen (N: J.), from the same com
mittee, reported a bill to appoint a committee to
select suitable locations for powder magazines,
and authorizing the appointment by the Secre
tory of .the Navy.of three responalble officers to
select tench lbeadons. It was passed;
Mr. Hendricks (Ind,) Introduced a bill to com
pensate certain persons who took part In the de
struction of the rebel ram Albemarle. Referred
to Committee on Claims.
Mr. Fowler (Tenn.) introduced a bill to rebuild
the levees on the east bank of the Mississippi
river s , itod to reclaim lands along the Yazoo river.
`On motion of Mr. Sherman (Ohio), the Senate
took up the resolution offered yesterday by Mr.
Anthony, In relatiou to the issue of tickets for
the galleries during the Impeachment trial and
the preservation of order.
Mr. Sherman offered an amendment to allow a
portion of the gallery. to be free to the public.
Mr. Conkling (N. Y.) said the result would be
to compress into a portion of the
gallery, which would accommodate less
than nine hundred altogether, as many
people as the whole would accommodate. Six
hundred and seventy-live tickets, therefore, were
all that should be Issued. He saw no occasion
for keeping the steps clear, which included a good
deal of the space.
Mr. Anthony said that after consideration, the
order had been deemed the beat that could be
prepared.
Mr. Anthony was cut short by the expiration
of the morning hour, and the appearance of the
Chief Justice and attendants at the door.
The President pro tern. said: The morning
hour having expired, all legislative and execu
tive business of the Senate is ordered to cease for
the purpose of proceeding to business connected
with the impeachment of the President of the
United States. The chair is vacated for that
purpose.
The ChiefJustiee then advanced up the aisle,
clad in his official robe',U.Aisted by Mr. Pomeroy,
Chairman of tilt:Committee appointed for that
purpose, with Judge Nelson t of the Supreme
Court, on his ,'right.--Messrs. Buckalew 'and Wil
son, the other members of the Committee,
bringing up 'the rear—with membera of the
House, who stood behind the bar of the, Senate.
The Chief Justice; having ascended to the Pre
dent's chair ; said, in ,, a measured and impleasive
vOice - ' •
Ikintittirs ohedienee to notice, I hail° np
vowed to join with, you In forming a.court of
inipeccbment for the trial of the Presidentof the
Unita s ,States, and I ata now ready to-take the
oath. '-
The following oath was then administered to
the Chief Justice by Judge Nelson;
I d o solemnly swear ttutt In all things appertain
fug to the trial of the Impeachment of Andrew
Johnson, President of the United States, I will do
impartial justice, secording to the Constitution
and Jaws, so help me God.
The Chief Justice then said:—Senators,the oath
will now be adrathistercd to the Senators as they
will he called by the Secretary in succession.
The Secretary called the roll, each Senator ad
vancing in turn and taking-'the oath prescribed
in-the-rules as given above. The only Senator
absent were Doolittle, of Vermont; Patterson, o
New Hampshire; Saulsbury, of Delaware, and
Edmunds. of Vermont.
When the name of Senator Wade was called,
Mr. Hendricks rose and put the question to the
presiding officer—whether the Senator from
Ohio, being the person who would succeed to the
Presidential office, was entitled to sit as a judge
in the case.
Mr. Sherman argued that the Constitution itself
settled that question. It provided that the pre
siding officer should not preside on the trial of
the President, but being silent as to his right to
be a member of the Court, it followed by impli
cation that he bad the right.
Mr. Howard argued that Mr. Wade had a right
to be a member of the Court, as each State was
entitled to be represented by two members.
The Senate bad already seen a Senator who was
related to the President ny marriage take the oath,
and he could see no difference between interest
on the ground of affinity and the interest the
Senator from Ohio might be supposed to have.
Besides, the Senator from Ohio was only the pre
siding officer of the Senate pro tem, and might or
might not continue as such to the close of these
proceedings. He therefore hoped that the oath
would be administered to the Senator from Ohio.
Mr. Johnson (Md.) assimilated this.kase to an
ordinary judicial proceeding., apriemluded the
Senate that no judge would be allowed to sit in a
case where he had a direct interest. Was it right,
be said, to subject a Senator to such a great
temptation—the whole executive power of the
nation. with 821),000 a year? lie submitted,there
fore, that it was due to the cause of impartial'
justice that such a precedent should not be .
established as would bring the Senate Into dis
repute. Why was it that the Chief Justice now
presided? It was because the fathers of the re
public thought that he who was to be entitled to
benefits should not be permitted even to pre
side, where he would only vote in
Case of a ' tie< vote. Be . did not
know that: the question could be decided at
once. It was a grave and important question,
'and would be so considered by the country, and
he submitted. hether , it was not proper to post
pone its decision until to-morrow, In order par
ticularly that the precedents of the English House
of Lords might be examined. He moved there-
fore that the question be postponed until to-
Morrow
Mr. Davis argued that the question was to be
decided on principle,and , that principle was to be
found in the 'Constitution. It was thought that
the man who was to succeed the President, in
case of removal front Mike, sheuld, not take part
in the trial of the Preddent. If the case of Mr.
Wade did not come within the letter of the Con-
atitution, It did come.clearly within its principle
and meaning.
Mr. Morrill (Me.) argued that there was no
party before the Conrt to make the objection,
and that it did not lie in the mouth of one Sena-
tor to raise ap objection against a fellow mem
ber. When the party appeared here, then objec
tion could be made and argued, but not here and
now. It seemed to him that that was no op
tion and no discretion but to administer the oath
to all Senators. _
Mr. Hendricks argued that it was inherent in a
• Court to judge of its own qualification; and that,
it was not for a Senator 'to present that question.
It was for the•Oonrt Weir to'determine whethera
member claiming a seat in thei Courtwas entitled
to it, and therefore the question was not imma
turely made. The suggestion of Senator Howard
that Senator Wade might not continue to
be President of the Senate was no answer
to the objection. When he should cease to
be the presiding officer of the Senate he could
be sworn in, but now at this time he was incom
petent. In the calm of-Senator Stockton of New
jersey, the qiestion had been decided. There it
was held that the Senator,being interested in the
result of the trial, had no right to vote. Ono of
the standing rules of the Senate itself was that
no Senator shouldyote where he hactpa i n t ores t,
The vote, bliffn 'lila judgment the
constitutional ground was Oren higher than the
question of interest.
Mr. Wirxraras, of Oregon, held that the objection
was entirely immature. • If this IF:dy was the Senate,
then the presiding °Meer of the Senate should pre

Mr. ZtAVitt belied the qtnindloil Whetker, 'lf a Vieo
Pre4ident came bore to present Inmeelf as a member
of the Court, the Coed Itself could not exclude him?
Mr. WILLIAIIe did not think that a parallel cote,

Preeident.waa excluded. It did not follow 'that bo

hld, notwithstanding the rule of the Senate referred
to, on hie right to vote. even on a question where he
bad an. intereet, he had a conr-titutlonal right to do
no.
Mr. FraenotneN, Of Maine, suggested that the ad
ministration of the oath to the Senator from Ohio, be
oilseed over for the present untU all the other Seua
tors arc sworn.
Mr. 'CONNESP, of California, objected, that there
was no right on the part of the. Senate to raise a
question its to the right of another Senator, and he
' , related that a vote be now taken *and the questiou
decided. The qneetion as to Nvitether a Senator had
such an interest in the result as to keep him from
participating In the trial, was a metier for the Senator
alone. Mr. Feesenden explained that hie intention
was simply - .that all the other Senators ehonld be
sworn' so as- to be able to act upon the queOlon as a
duly organized Court,
lie wed nothing about it. however, one war or
other, and had no opinion to express on the subject.
Mr.Howsno, of Michigan, suet allied the right of
the Senator from Ohio to be sworn and participate in
the trial. He did not underet end on what ground this
objection could be sustained. They were not acting
in their ordinary capecity as a Senate. bat were acting
as a court. What right had the members of the Sen
ate not yet sworn to vote on this objection? How was
the difficulty to be got AO' Could the, members already
sworn e:tclude a Senator? That would be a strange
deposition. As the' Senate was now fixed It had no
right to pass a resolution or an order. It was an act
simply coresn ntm Pante. He sumested, therefore,
that the objection be. withdrawn for the present.
litr: MOUTON. otlncliana, argued that there was no
person here authorized to nualte,the objection, because
it was the right of a party to waive the objection of
interest on the part of a judge or juror, and the Presi
dent, when be came here for trial, might say, "why
was not the Senator from Ohio sworn? The theory
of big colleague (Mr. Hendricks) was false. This im
peachment was to be tried by the Senate. The Sena
tor front Ohio was a member of this body, and his
rig m htsasSucheould not be taken from hi His elee
tfon as presiding of took from him none of his
rights as a Senator; but aside from that he repeated
that there was no person here entitled to raise the
question.
Mr. Jona:son, of Maryland, urged the propriety of
hie motion, that the question should be postponed till
to-mr crow. It was a question in which the people of
the United States were concerned, and by no conduct
of his, by no waiver of his rlehta could the Court be or.
gaelzed in any other way than the Constitution pro
vides. He repelled the intimation that the body was
not A Court lint was a Senate. As the Senate, he ar-
Rued its power's were only legislative, and it had no
judicial powers except as a Conrt. So had all their
',redeemers ruled. In the celebrated impeachment
(2f..0 of 'Justice Chase, the Senate acted on the idea
that they were acting as a Couranot as a Senate.
The Senators wereto declare on their oaths to decide
I the question of guilty or not gmilty, and declare the
judgment; and who had over heard of a Senate declar e
Leg a judgment. The very fact that the Chief Justice
had to preside showed that this was a Court of the
highest character. As to the argument that a Senator
had a right to vote on a question wherein be had an
interest, he asked who had ever heard before of such a
proposition. The Courts had even ,"one so far as to
declare that a judgment pronounced by a Judge In a
case where he bad personal interest was absolutely
void, on the general principle that no man had a data
to be a judge in his own cave. In conclusion, he sus
pended the motion, and moved that the other mem
bers be now sworn.
Mr. Sirenaran, of Ohio, declared that the right of
his colleague to take the oath, and his duty to do It
were clear in his own mind. Ifiheretifter the question
of interest was raised against him it could .he dis
cuesed and decided. The case of Senator Stockton.
to which reference had been made, was a case in
point. Notwithstanding the question of the legality
of his election, no one questioned his right. to be
sworn in the lint instance. It was only when his case
came up for decision that his right to vote on that
case was disputed and refused, and he (Sherman) had
ever doubted the correctness of that decision. The
same question came up in his own case when he was,
a candidate for the Speakership of the Howe of Rep.
reeentatives.
He bad taken his oath as a member of the House,
and be had a right. if be had chosen to exercise it, to
cast his vote for himself. He claimed that the State
of Ohio had a right to be represented on this trial by
its two Senators. His colleague should decide for
himself whether he would participate on the trial and
vote on questions arising in it, Questions had been
introduced in this debate which he thoueht should
not have been introcuced. The only question at
issue was, should or should not the Senator from
Ohio be sworn in?
Mr. BAYAUD, of Delaware, argued against the right
of Senator Wade to take the oath, the object of the
Constitution being to exclude the person who was to
be benefited by the deposition of the President from
taking part In the proceeding leading to such deposi
tion. Ile proceeded to argue that the character of the
body trying impeachment was that of a court, not
that of a Senate. He could not conceive on what
around the questions as to the character of the body
were in reduced, except it was that Senators 'cutting
themselves loose from the reetraiuts of their judiciaa
character might give a full swing to their partisan
passions. It ke stood in the same
world
as_ the
Senetor from Ohio, the wealth of the world would not
tempt him to sit in such a case.
Mr. SUNNED. of Massachusetts. declined to follow
Senators in the discussion of the question as to wheth
er this body was a Senate or was a'Court. Its powers
were plainly laid oown in the Constitution. The
Conatitntion had not given the body a name, but it
had given it powers, and those powers it was now ex
achting. Dottneuished Senators on the other side
had stated that the Constitution intended to prevent
Sens tors who were to benefit by the result of impeach
ment from partielpathig in the trial of the accused.
Where did they (Ind that interest? Where did they
rind the rennin alleged for the provision as to the
Chief Justice presidine? It was not to be found in
the COmetitu tom itself, nor in the papers of Mr. Madi
son. nor in the Federalist, nor in any contemporaneous
publication.
Tire first that was to be found of that idea was in
Ilawleas Commentaries on the Constitution publiehed
in laela and the next that was to be found of it was
ten years later, in Story's Commentaries. where in a
note. Rawle is cited. It they were to trust to the lights
of history, the reason for the introduction of this
clause wars because the framers of the Constitution
had contemplated the suspension of the President dur
ing impeachment, and because, therefore, the Vice-
President could not be in the Senate he would he dis
charging executive functions.
Mr. Stunner referred to the constitutional debates
in support of his theory, particularly citing the ss oida
of James Madison in the debate in the Virginia Con
vention, to the effect that the House might impeach
the President, that the Senate might convict trier, and
that they (meaning either the tousle or the Sena' e
and House of Repr'esentati '
ves jointly) could suspend
him from office, when his duties would devolve upon
the Vice President. Here, he argued, wee an au
thentic reason for that provision of the Constitution
providing that when the 'President was on trial the
Chief Justice should preside. Ho submitted that the
Senate could proceed upon the theory of the Senators
on the other side. The text could not be extended
from its -plain and simple meaning. 'As to the ques
tion of-interest, he asked who could lout into the one
scale tho great interest of the public justice, and into
the other paltry personal temptation. He believed
that. If • the &Matter -from Ohio-was allowed to hold
those Scales, the one containing personal interest
would "kick the beam."
Mr. Dawn, of Wisconsin, thought the question
would not be a very difficult one if they were willing
to read what was written, and to abide by it It was
written that the Senate should be composed of two
Senators from each State, and it was, elsewhere writ
ten that Ohio was a State. It was also written that
the Senate should have the power to try impeach
ments; the Senate, and no one else. lie con
ceived, therefore, that that was the end of
the. law. Whatever after question of delica
cy there alight be, the question of law was clear that
' the Senator from Ohio was entitled to participate in
this trial. If the Constitution were ellent on the sub
ject no one would have challenged the right of the
presiding officer of-the Senate to preside on this trial.
The Constitution, however, had provided for that
question; and had gone no further. If any objection
did exist to the Senator from Ohio, the only party
who bad a right to raise the objection was not here
and was not represented here.
Mr. Mulct., of Missouri, argued that if the objec
tion had any legal validity whatever, it was one which
had to be passed upon affirmatively or negatively by
some body, and he awaited to know what that body
was? Was it so
_p ffi
assed upon by the presiding ocer
of the Senate? He hardly thought so? Was it to be
passed upon by this; body itself? Then came in the
difficulty that there were still four Senators unworn.
It might have been among the first or the very first
one,and then it would bevel* kco be deeidell by Sena --

• Mr. TuA'vEu, of Nebraska, discussed the question
as to whether this waa'a court or not. They had to
come down to the plain - words /of the Constitution,
"The Senate shall have power to try impeachments."
If this body was a. court now, where did the trans

THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.-PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MAII,OII 6, 18681
Cif !et Justice CHASE replied affirmatively..
Mr. BOWAHD rbre to call the attention of the ('Bair
Vs, the real question before the Senate. and flaked
whether the pending motion, that' other Senators be
sworn, was not In order?
The CHISI . ,JuancE paid that the Senator from In.
diana having objected to the Senator from Ohio tak
ing theoeth,there was now a motion that the re
maining Damns he called, omitting the name of the
Senator from Ohio.
Mr. linwann said there was no rule, requiring the
names to be called is alphabetical order. The ' re
maining names could be called now. He.saw no neces
sity for farther diecuesion of this motion, and thought
tt was merely a question of order. It seemed to him
that it must be held that the trial had commenced,
and that as the Senatehad the sole power to try im
peachments, and as the Constitution a'so proscribed
the administration of an oath, it was out of order to
lifted( re with the taking of that oath,
Mr. ItrekAnwasised it the rules did not provide
that the presiding officer shall submit all questions to
the Senate; but. assuming it to ne a question of
order, he contendell that the !clause was intended to
spply to the old form of taking votes by States. The
Senate had already adopted a rule for excluding votes
in a particular case, a rule founded on justice. The
argument was, that the Senator had a right ender the
Constitet!on to f epresent Ohio. On several occasions
recently, Senators had presented themselves, and had
been denied admission. Here they were organized
into a court to decide the gravest possible questions.
'The (injec lion was made at the proper time, as, if not
now mud e, a number of members not qualified to act
might take part in the proceedings, and be judges in
the case. It was not only their right, but their duty
to raise the question now. They were acting under
the Constitution. most of them basing been sworn
already, and the Chief Justice being there to add dig
nity and disinterestedness to their deliberations; and
they properly raised the question to he decided at the
earliest possible moment, it was a question arising
under the Senate, and they must meet it before they
could organize. He was content to take the decision
of the Chief Justice of the United States, and the
opinion of a distinguished commentator, in prefer
ence to Orator the Senator from Massachusetts. Ob
jections were always made to jurors
.before they were
morn s ' if not., it wofild be too late.
Mr. restaxerrterszri.of New Jersey. asked whether
the Senator supposed the accused waived his right of
challenge by the Senators being all sworn. Ile could
challenge, If at all, after they were organized, and
therefore this was not the time to make objection.
Mr. BbeitALEW said be was not talking of chal
lenges. It had not been put upon that ground by the
Senator from Indiana, Mr. Hendricks. Challenge
Wes a right given by statute.
Mr. MORTON replied to Mr. Backelew and said the
Constitution had made the tribunal itself, and they
bed no right to constitute one. It was not important
what they called the Senate now, but sit was material
that they should act as the Constitution authorized
them in the trial of au impeachment as a Senate, The
Senator from Ohio being a member of the Senate,
and the Senate performing duties imposed upon it by
the Constitution ; It was idle for them to talk about
organizing a court. when the Constitntiork placed
certain duties upon them.
At 4:30 P. E. Mr. GUTSIER, of lowa, after premising
that the Chief Justice, having eat eincell A. M., must
be fatigued. moved to adjourn-
Mr. UowAXID suggested that, as a court, they could
not adjourn the Senate, and Mr. Grimes moved to

Horsy':.—lhere were not more than two dozen
members in their seats when the - House met, and
very few spectators in the galleries, the public

transferred to the Senate.
Many members have procured leave of absence,
either to go home or to take part in the political
canvasses in Maine, New Hampshire and other

Mr. ,Lynch (Me.) presented resolutions of ap

Mr. Eliot (Mass.), by unanimous consent, in
troduced a bill providing that in the case of the

Mr. Schofield (Penna.), presented a petition of

The Speaker presented a communication from
Lb • Postmaster-General in reference to Overland
M it contracts, and resolutions of the South
Carolina Constitutional Convention tendering
thanks to Congress, Secretary Stanton and Gen

The Speaker said he had been requested to state
that the funeral of Mr. Baxter, formerly a Rep
resentative from Vermont, would take place on
Sunday next, at 3 o'clock, to which the members
were invited.
On motion of Mr. Raum (Ill.), the committee
for the District of Columbia was instructed to
inquire what legislation was necessary to compel
the Washington Gas Company to reduce its ex

On motion of Sir. Newcomb (Mo.), the Post
master General was directed to furnish informa

On motion of Mr. Morrell (Pa.) the Committee
on Banking and Currency was instructed to in
quire into the expediency of amending the gen
end banking law, so that State banks in process
of liquidation may, after faithful payment of all
just demands, be relieved from the necessity of
making monthly statements, and from the pay
ment of tax on outstanding circulation.
The House -then proceeded to the considera
tion of the case of It. R. Butler, representative=
elect from theist district of Tennessee.
Mr. Chanler (N. Y.) addressed the House,
arguing that Mr. Butler should have his seat, the
people of his district having been entitled to re
presentation in the Confederate legislature as
they are now entitled to representation here, but
that the test oath Itself should be abrogated
altogether, instead of slicing it into doses to suit
the stomachs of persons presenting themselves
for admission as members. The principle of rep
resentation ovverrode all test oaths.
Mr. Judd (Ill.) moved that the House resolve
itself into Committee of the Whole to attend the
Impeachment Managers at the bar of the Senate.
Mr. Farnsworth (Ill.) opposed the motion, re
minding the House that it was only the mans
gcrs who were invited to be present, and that it
did not comport with the dignity of the House to
be going back and forth to the Senate Chamber
when no provision was made for the reception of
members.
The Speaker stated that the Managers were now
n t the bar of the House,and would probably state
their views on the subject.
Mr. Bingham (Ohio), the Chairman, said that
after consultation with the managers, it had not
been supposed—as there was to be to-day nothing
but a mere formal organization of the high court
of impeachment—that it was necessary to ask the
House to - attend until the issue was joined. - • ' •
Mr. Judd, on hearing the statement, withdrew
his motion.
The managers proceeded to the Senate Cham
ber, and the discussion in reference to the repre

Mr. POLAND, of Vermont, on the suggestion of
several members, moved that when the House adjourn
it be to Monday next.
Mr. FAENSWORTII, of Illinois, was in favor of this,
while, he said, Impeachment was in prosress. The
House was constructively present in the Senate, and
therefore, the House could transact no business. It
would be incongruous to 'send bills to the President
for his approval while he is being tried fOr high crimes
and misdemeanon,
Mr. MYF.IiP, of Pennsylvania, Fttfd the country Wart
mush interested in the announcement that the Com
mittee on Ways and Means were about to report a bill
to repeal the tax on manufactures, As the determina
tion of the question by the House would take much
time. he suggested that a bill he passed relieving
manufactures from duty for a limited time, or until
the whole system shall be perfected, or for sixty days.
Mr. Betraacic remarked that the present laws were
in about twenty statntes, and consequently were in
piecemeal. Some of them contain what was in other's.
dome contradict and wine modify others. The &Anal
condition of the law could be found only by collation.
end comparing of one part With another, and making
one body of all the laws consistent in all their parts.
If n joint resolution or bill such as the gentleman
from Pennsylvania had suggested, be passed, it would.
of course except tobacco, irlistitled spirits, etc., from
its provisions, all of which would be provided for in
the general regulations. He thought that an adjourn
ment over would enable the Committee of Ways and
Means to facilitate their business. for, although the
committee were authorized to sit during the session
of the House, it was a divieed allegiance. The com
mittee would provide for the taxation of certain
this ge. and Fey nothing about othere. The question
ehouldtbe submitted to the committee, as to whether
they could contrive such a bid as suggested by the
gentleman from Pennsylvania, without deranging the
seneral plan which they propose in the revision of the
laws.
Mr. Poteren, of Vermont, repeated that he had made
. the motion to adjourn over at the request of members
on this floor. It was not in accordance with his own
choice and judgment, but aa some oppose the motion,
be would withdraw it.
The centeated election case was resumed.
Mr. KELSEY, of New York, moved that Mr. Powell,
who, it was said by several gentlemen, received only
forty-four voter, and who contested or claimed the
seat, be permitted to address the House. The motion
was disagreed to. .
Mr. BROOMALL:of Pennsylvania, advocated the res
olution reported from the Committee on Elections to
modify the Congressional oath, so that Mr. Butler
might be enabled to take his seat.
Mr. Mitten, of Pennsylvania, was opposed to the
resolution, the applicant having, as a member of the
Tennessee rebel legislature, sworn to support the
Southern Confederacy. It would be dangerous to
relax the law. The next step would be to ask that the
law be modified to admit Alexander H. Stephens, if
he should be elected to represent one of :the Congres
sional districts of Georgia. They had better wait until
the Southern States shall have organized loyal goy
ernmen,e, and Bent men here able to take the oath as
it now stood. It became the Republican party to be
consistent. The oath saved ns in the rebellion, the
respite of which were not yet over.
The SPEANER laid before the House a communica
tion from the Secretary of the Treasury transmitting
the report of J. Ross Browne on the mineral re
sources of the States and Territories west of the
Rocky. Mountains. Referred to, the Committee on
Mines and Mining. ..
Mr. SCIECNCE moved that twenty thousand copies of

The motion was referred to the Committee on Print-
Mi. DANvEs regretted that the gentleman from
Pennsylvnia (Mr. 31iller), in the face of all the testi
