This remedy is tom pored of a compound preparation of a
common weed growing along the sea shore, and is a cer
tain and infallible remedy ler the cure of dyspepsia and

weed, which is just the remedy for their ailments. Dys
isepriaotrill many of the diseases arising from it, is caused
by the' deficient secretion of the gastric Juices,
and weakness of the powers of the stomach. The
effects .•of the Seaweed Tonic is felt soon after
i
'naturally.turally. In fact, the Tonic so nearly resembles o
ll
it is - token , as it supplies at once the principles /
of the deficient gastric juice, and the food is dips
natural gastric juice, that chemists even find dialed in
distinguishing them. It gives tone and strongthend the
stomach, thus enabling it to secrete the proper optantity
and quality of gastric juice, and dyspepsia and all its
diseases soon disappear.
It is a well-known fact that none suffer/Hie the dyspep
tic; for, in addition to the dyspepsia, there is often either
headache, sour and sick stomach, pats in the side, p alai
fatten of the heart, chills and fever, ravel, disease of the
kidneys, nervous weakness and tremors, general debility,
faintness, loss of appetite, bad tas'es, fever, stoppages in
f ema les, a ll or e ach of them aa'aing from a disordered
state of the stomach, and here is a remedy that will care
all this train of disease.
Now. dyspeptic, wi.l you avail yourself of this remedy,

The Seaweed Tonic is a pleasant bitters, giving a person
a good appetite and a good digestion; is put up in quart

EVENING BULLETIN.
Wednesday, April 1, MS.
SPRING.
It is hereby announced that "Gentle
spring," otherwise known as "Ethereal Mild
ness," has come. Punctually on the Ist of
April she has made her presence felt in Phila
delphia, and the people have turned out to
greet her in multitudes such as have not been
seen In the streets for months. The first shad,
which, like the blue bird, is a harbinger of
Bluing, came some days ago, so that it is not
a poisson d'avril. In fact, there is no
foolery, no nonsense, no humbug about this
first day of April and this auspicious and glo
rious opening of Spring.
Chestnut street is gay to-day, in accord
ance with the riant sky that overhangs
it. The fancy dry-goods stores and milliners'
establishments are thronged, and their pro
prietors and clerks, who have long deplored
the depression of the winter months, are
cheered by the bright faces and eager looks of
their customers. In Other parts of the city
there are signs of the awakening of the year.
Sven commerce lifts up its long-bowed head,
and manufacturers and traders are cheered by
the sunny .weather and the passage of the tax
repealing bill in the House of Representatives
at Washington yesterday. It matters little to
anybody that Andrew Johnson's trial is going
on, and that he is likely to lose his seat soon ;
for has not Spring come, and are not the peo
ple soon to be relieved of other burdens besides
Andrew Johnson?
In the rural quarters the last remnants of the
winter's snows have departed; the trees are
budding; the crocuses are ready to raise their
beads; the bird 6 are singing, and farmers and
gardeners are going to work briskly and with
good heart. Fairmount Park is beginning
to put on its dress of greenery, and the railed.
in glories of the city squares are beginning to
smile through their prison bars. The street
cleaning contractor, who has had a long and
easy holiday, is, or ought to be, awaking to
the idea that there is a fine field for his opera-
tione throughout the vast city, and he ought
to glory in the abundant harvest of the win
ter's filth that awaits his gathering.
The gay and rieh world are out, on this
smiling first of April, and scarcely showing
sny signs of that mortification of the flesh
which ought to characterize them in the last
two solemn weeks of Lent. They roll by in
their chariotm and clarences, with their mono
grams or coats of arms staring scornfully on
the ignoble crowd of men and women that
loot it along the sidewalks, and have not
arrived at the dignity and wealth that can
order a heraldic badge from the stationer's.
They are expecting their spring outfits .from
Paris, and are planning Bummer campaigns
for the sea-side, where rich or fashionable
young men or young women are expected to
be found ready for the matrimonial market.
These are the prominent ideas of that rich
crust of society that is called the upper, as the
signs of Spring appear.
To the vast mass that is under no oblige
gation to rich fathers or lucky government
contrasts, spring is more truly welcome.
The long, bard, cold winter is at an end.
The jobs of out-door labor, that are the main
supporkof most of them, are once more made
abundant. There will be no more heavy
coal bills or gas bills till next winter ; there
is no more shivering over a handful of hard
earned coals, just sufficient to . warm the
scanty meals on which ' so* many thousands
barely live. It is to this great and worthy
part of the community that "Gentle t3pring,
etherial mildness," is welcome, and in their
mime 'we greet it and rejoice at , its arrival.
CHILE JUSTICE CLIALNE.
Until there shall be some indication of the
line of argument by which the position of
ifr. Chase in the Impeachment Court was
yesterday sustained, it is in vain to speculate
913 to the considerations that weighed with a
majority of the Senate in over-ruling the
dear and apparently unanswerable argument
of Messrs. Butler, Bingham and Boutwell
upon the question of the relation which the
Chief Justice bears to this important trial.
Nothing has ytt been made public of the
debate in Ectret session, and, meantime,
every body lin read the strong line of reason
ing by Which Mr. Butler and his
colleague,/ established their opinion.
It is not i to be wondered at that an uneasy
feelingis - growing
.up in the public—mind,
which', if it is not checked, will be fatal to all
Mr. Chase's future as a public man. In
Anierican politics it is emphatically true that
Fitly "he that enduroth unto the end shall be
/saved." In the absence of the arguments
which convinced the majority of the Senate,
and in the presence of the disagreeably sug
gestive fact that Mr. Chase is sustained by the
solid Democratic vote in the Senate, it is not
remarkable that there should be an intense
solicitude to know what Mr., Chase's real po
sition ie.
But there is this important fact to be borne
in mind. There is at least one strong reason
in favor of permitting the presiding officer to
rule on questions of evidence and incidental
questions, subject to appeal to the Senate,
and that is the great saving of time. There
is an over-powering conviction in all minds
that the public peace and welfare demand a
speedy settlement of this trial. The
country has tried Andrew Johnson
long ago, as it will try his
triers, and whatever will hasten the comple
tion of the forms of Constitutional law in his
case, will be cheerfully submitted to. There
fore it may be well to give the presiding
officer this preliminary power. It does not
follow that Mr. Chase sits as a Judge over
fifty-two jurymen, for exactly the opposite
principle is asserted by Mr. Henderson's
amended rule.
There should be no undue haste to judge
Mr. Chase or any member of the Court. We
have long been accustomed to rely upon the
integrity, wisdom and patriotism of these
servants of the people, and that faith, should
not be lightly or hastily disturbed. Should
any one of them stumble or fhll, it will be to
his own - ruin, and there is no man
connected with the trial of An
drew Johnson who does not know
that simple but terrible fact. Human
ingenuity will find itself beggared in the
attempt to trg t me a pretext which will ex
cuse or palliate a failure to meet the just de
mands of an outraged and justly-incensed
people. Neither the Chief Justice nor the
Senator who may feel himself highest and
strongest in the estimation of the people can
Impe to survive the effect of an alliance with
the fortunes of Andrew Johnson, now.
The blast of popular indignation would
leave him a far worse wreck than even
that of William H. Seward, who is to-day
the most pitiable of all living examples of
men who dare to abandon principle for the
sake of the gratification of a misguided per
sonal ambition or the still meaner motive of
personal envy or spite. It will be time
enough to believe such things of Chief Justice
Chase when they come to pass. Until he
proves himself recreant to all the traditions of
his political life, it is unjust to believe that he
bas any wish or design to prostitute his high
office for the benefit of such a man as Andrew
Johnson. The idea is too monstrous to be
entertained upon any evidence short of abso
lute proof.
BURILI. TAXATION.
The bill lately passed at Harrisburg re
lieving the rural districts of Philadelphia
from one-half of the tax rate is a retrograde
step which deserves the serious consideration
of our citizens. For years past there has been
a steady progress made toward an equaliza
tion of taxation, and in this year, for the first
time, there has been a very good degree of
such equality reached, under the operations
of the•new assessment and the Board of Revi
sion. In this assessment the rural and subur
ban districts enjoy a fair discrimination, in
the low valuation placed upon property as
compared with that in the built portions of
the city, and with this they should be content.
But the new bill,instead of promoting the most
desirable end of equalization, breaks , it up
again, and throws us hack upon the old
system of injustice by which one portion of
the community is compelled to bear the bur
dens which rightly belong to another. By
this new piece of legislation, for which we
are indebted, not to corruption, but to perso
nal influence and favoritism, the suburban
districts are to pay but two-thirds, and the
rural districts but one-half of the city tax
rate, although their assessment is already
fixed at an extremely low rate, and although
a very large portion of the annual appropria
tions is for the, sole benefit of these favored
districts. The injustice of this new law is so
manifest that it is surprising that it should
have passed the Legislature. Its immediate
result must be to increase the tax rate next
year, a policy which is certainly to be
greatly regretted. Its passage was effected
by the strong personal influence of a
single member of the Senate, Mr.
Connell, who succeeded in getting it through,
even stripped of a clause which 'provided for
the consent of the Councils of Philadelphia.
It imposes a heavy increase of taxation upon
the business men of the city, while it relieves
those whose properties are already assessed
at a mere nominal 'valuation of one-half of
their tax even upon that low assessment.
There is yet time to undo this piece of unjust
legislation at the present session,and we hope
that the good sense of our friends at Harris
burg will prevail to abolish this retrogade
measure, and to permit Philadelphia to carry
out the present excellent, though yet imper
fect,system for the proper equalization of tax
' anon.
THE' NEW 'll.'&X BELL.
After a protracted conference between the
two Houses of Congress,the amended tax bill
was passed yesterday and will become a law. -
The point in this bill which chiefly interests
the general public is the retention of the two
dollar tax on whisky. The House believes
that this tax can be collected, and this belief
is a just one. If there was any real desire on
the part of the 'President and his cor
rupt subordinates to enforce the law
the illicit traffic in whisky would bo
speedily broken up, and the public revenues
would be honestly collected. It is absurd to
_say that a government that could crush a
rebellion cannot crush out a parcel of low
whisky distillers. What is wanting is the
will to do it. The men who perpetrate these
monstrous frauds are Andrew Johnson's next
friends, and he will not have them seriously
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1,1868.
"disturbed. Congress has now re-affirme I its
conviction that the tax can, be, and Its deter
mination it shall be, collected. The President
•
Cannot pretend that it is not his duty to
enforce this law. Let us see now how be
will do it. •
But for the fact that Frank EMU. ex
hausted the subject several years ago, there
would be a fine field for a series of Gotham
ite sensation artioles and pictures among the
swill-milk "dairies" of New York. The
Board of Health of that delightful metropolis
has lately paid some attention to this subject.
and the result of the investigations thus far
made is the discovery that the cows that
furnish the "pure Orange county milk" with
which New York is supplied, are fed on
swill, "starch grains" and other food of a
like unwholesome description. The pub
lished reports describe the inappropriate
and insufficient food and the close and
filthy stables; but • they are discreetly
silent concerning "stump tails" and
diseased udders. With such stuff as is
yielded by these poor penned-up ani
mals as the daily diet of tens of thousands of
children, it is no wonder that a constant
slaughter of the innocents,is going for ward in
New York and that such frightful bills of
mortality among children aro summed up,
particularly in the summer months. The
milk which is furnished to the Philadelphia
market comes principally from the fresh fields
anti clean dairies of Montgomery. Chester,
and Delaware counties. The lactometer
might, in some instances, detect adultera
tions in the fluid; but the cheat is a "pious
fraud" compared with the abominations
which juvenile New York is compelled to
swallow with its milk, The Schuylkill is
the only adulterating medium used here, and
this,probably, is seldom employed.
Within the last few days, one of the most
prominent and successful of Ameriean publishers
bus passed from the stage of life's action. Mr.
E. H. Batler,the senior partner of the house of E.
H. Butler & Co.,diecl at his residence, inGerman
town, on Friday last, after a career of more than
twenty-five years in the city of his adoption.
Mr. Butler was a native of Northampton, Mass.
i
He established himself in business as a booksell
a
ndr
publisher, in Philadelphia, about the y r
1840, and was, at the time of his death, at .tie
head of one of the best, as it is ono of the 'most
ireportput publishing houses of this country.
Tie was not a man to court eulogistic notices
and it is not our purpose to do otherwise than to
respect the well-known views which he some
times so strongly'expressed in reference to the
indiscriminate obituary praise that is so. Ire
quen tly lavished upon men, over whom a decent
silence would be the most fitting tribute.
But there was somewhat about Mr. Butler's
business life, which, while it carries a striking
warning with it, deserves and demands at least a
brief notice. We refer to his enthusiastiC devo
tion to the work of bookmaking, as an art. Com
paratively few American publishers have done
anything in this direction. With the mass the
single !question of the immediate pecuniary re
sults completes the circle of their ambition. Mr.
Butler was wisely and successfully mein -1 of
this important consideration, but he loAid far
beyond it. His business was to him his greatest
pleasure. The production of one of his exquisite
holiday books, or the preparation 'of a echoo
atlas or geography, was an occupation which
afforded him a keen intellectual and artistic
enjoyment. To him the making of books
was a beautiful art, and be pursued
it with an ardor which knew no restraint
or fatigue, and which was so jealous of
any failure in maintaining the high standard which
he had established, that he was ever unwilling to
delegate to others many of those laborious de
tails of his favorite pursuit which are usually
distributed among numerous assistants and sub
ordinates. To this intense personal application
to what were truly literary labors, the nervous
powers could not but succulmb, and Mr. Butler
died, leaving an example of a laudable and hon
orable ambition to elevate his business to that
ancient position of a [learned art,
which it occupied in the day of the
Elzevirs and the Aldi—an example sadly
clouded by the premature death which
was the inevitable penalty of the exercise of an
enthusiasm which knew no bounds.
We say nothing of the personal worth and
qualities of this lover of his art. They were well
known and highly prized by those who knew him
best, and to them they chiefly belong. His
businesss career has its relations to the whole
great interest of American book-publishing, and
it is only for the sake of the worthy example and
the salutary warning which it conveys that we
refer to the death of one who has left behind
him an unblemished name and a host of friends.

Process of the Trial.
ARGUMENT OF THE COUNSEL.
The Impeaehtrnest Tr/a.ll.
(Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Byelaw; Bulletin)
WAHMNUTON, April I.—Neither of the Houses
of Congress held a business sessipit to-day,
although the weather was bright. The Senate
galleries were but half filled at twelve o'cloek.
Mr. Postmaster-General Randall was on the floor
during the reading of the journal of yesterday's
proceedings, in conversation with various Sena
tors and members, as also was Colonel Moore,
the President's private secretary. Comparatively
few were present on the floor when the Benito was
called to order, but before the journal was read
through nearly all the Senators and a majority of
the manbers of the House came in. The moment
the reading of the journal was 'concluded, Mr.
Sumner rose and moved to ateend it by placing
upon the record an order making it appear that
Mr. Chase had oo right to give the casting vote
which he recorded on the question or going out
for deliberation yesterday. Mr. Sumner called for
the ayes and nays, and the motion was lost by a
vote of 21 to 27.
The Chief Justice then stated the question be
fore the Court now to be on the admissibility of
the evidence objected to by the counsel for the
defence yesterday.
Mr. Butler snbibitted the question in writing
which it was proposed to ask the witness (Mr.
Burieigh,) it being a general one, intended to
elicit what he beard General Thomas say.
Mr. Btanbery spoke in opposition to the rele
vancy of the evidence offered, saying that they
had now come to a stage in the proceedings
where the simple law of the point was the sub
ject of discussion. He said that as Gen. Thomas
was not on trial, his declaration had nothing to
do with this case; that the proper way to prove
anything by Gen. Thomas is to bring him before
the Court as a witness.
SECOND DE.PATCI . 1
WAsIIINGTON, April I.—He argued that the
President is not bound by the declarations of
Gen. Thomas; that if he was so bound he could
not be bound beyond his letter of authority
which Gen. Thomas held, and which purported
to give only a right of peaceable possession and
no authority to use force: that the public. officers
appointed in this way are not agents of tie: Pre
sident. but are. amenable for their own acts;
that the statement of the Managers that they ex
pected to connect the President with these words
of General Thomas was an insuflicient reason for
the admission of testimony which was prima
fork inadmissible. He continued at considerable
length in support of his views.
Destructive Fires.
LE W ISTON, Me., April I.—The interior of Neat
& Webster's woolen mill, at Sabattis, was burned
on Monday night. The loss will amount to many
thousand dollars, and is Insured in Hartford and
New York offices. It is stated that the property
is owned in Boston and Portland.
A house and barn belonging to Peter Dresser,
aad the shoe-manufactory of Thorne & Dresser,
were burned in this city last night. The pro
perty is partly Insured.

after, or otherwise be suspended er removed by the Court
(1 Camelot) netts. The said Court may, on the Replica
tion of the Controller or Councils, appoint an auditor to

The Senate several days since added an amendment to
the act Incorporating the Union Market Company. The
amendment prohibits the sale of meat within two
squares of the Market house:at Second and C illowhilL
'I he House refused to agree to the amendment.
The Senate this A. M. agreed to recede from it. Tho
amendment therefore falls.
The bill exempting mcrtgages from taxation, except for
State purposes, which has passed both the Senate and the
Bruce, was amended so as to extend to Philadelphia
county. The bill dour not go into operation until next
year
The Governor saving • etoed the free railroad law, a
new one was Introduced into the House, passed, and sent
into the Senate.
The Senate this morning rejected the House bill and
took up the same bill which the Governor had originally
vetoed but with two objectionable features to which the
Governor had alluded, struck out.
Speaker Graham wade a forcible address in favor of the
most liberal railroad law which could be obtained.
Horse.—The following bills upon the public calendar
were acted upon: The Senate bill relative to the time
and mode of trial and evidence in certain criminal cases.
'lbis bill is intended to prevent prosecutions under Pre
tence of punishing crimes by private persons, as a mode
of redress for alleged civil wrongs and for purposes of ex
tortion and oppression. Where a criminal prosecution
lota been commenced and a civil proceeding also insti.
tuted, the criminal prosecution must be stopped until the
civil action is determined. Indefinitely postponed.
The Senate bill establishing an additional State Hos
pital for the Ineans•. the aubstitute introduced by the
Committee on the Judiciary General was read, appointiag -
certain Commissioners to examine the subject and select
a alto for an asylum for Northern Pennsylvania, and
nr ff rt r Strong moved to amend by simply authorizing the
Governor to appoint three Commissioners for the purposes
mimed.
)fir. Hickman said that the committee named in the
bill, Jos A. Reed. of Alleitheny, John Curwen, of Harris.
burg, and Traill Green, of Northampton. had the perfect
confidence of the State Medical Society, and were un
doubtedly competent for the work. Betides, these men
had agreed to perform the work without compensation;
all they asked was the payment of their actual cementer*.
Mr. Mann said be was in favor of the Seuate It

ten most Interested in the subject. Could not the
House trust the Governor in these appointments? He
would rather have the bill defeated than insult the
Governor. •
Messrs Chalfant, McCullough and Craig favored the
substitute of the General Judi( iary Committee.
Mre - Strong's amendment was voted down and the bill
as amended by the Committee ,was then passed to a Sec
ond reading.
At this print Mr. Hickman, owing to severe Indisposi.
tine, asked leave of absence for himself from Saturday
next for the balance of the session. Granted.

AN ATTEMPTED MURDER
The Impeachment Trial.
Iflpecial Despatch to the Phila. Everting BttMai
WA6IIINUTON, April I.—Gen. Butler, in reply
began by saying that he should insist upon the
enforcement of the rule requiring counsel to cite
their authorities at the commencement
instead of at the close of the discussion.
of the question to whieli\th apply. He then
went on to show that the order under which
General Thomas acted was not the usual form;
that it commanded him immediately to enter,
upon the discharge of the duties as Secretary of
War; that the illegality of this appointment
makes it unlike the regular and legal civil ap
pointments. He alluded to the fact that Secre
tary Stanton had before his reinstatement told
the • President that he yielded the office
only to superior force, and claimed that
the President knew that he now intended to
Mold it against everything but superior force.
He argued that it was intended that Gen. Thomas
should use illegal means to enforce an appoint
ment in violation of the Constitution and the
Tenure of Office act, and that this was conspir
ing to commit an unlawful act, and there would
appear to be sufficient connection between Gen.
Thomas's sayings and doings and Johnson's re.
sponsibility.
He said that it is certain that General Thomas
and the President were concerting together the
means to obtain a common object, and the im
portance of this witness was that it was expected
to be shown that he was invited by Gen. Thomas
to go with him and support him in his enterprise.
He read from various 'authorities showing the
admissibility of this testimony, and saying that if
not on trial here, General Thomas was a co-con
spirator with Mr. Johnson, and his statements
were, therefore, admissible as evidence.
General Lorenzo Thomas, Col. W. G. Moore,
General Emory, Horatio King and various others
summoned as witnesses,have been in attendance
On each day-of the trial.
Messrs. Stanbery and Butler occupied nearly
an hour each in arguing the point.
Judge Curtis followed and commenced by
requesting that the question of the Managers,
asking Mr. Burleigt to state what Gen. Thomas
said in relation to the means he intended to use
to obtain possession of the War Office, he again
read.
He then proceeded to arene that Gen. Thomas
was pot the President's agent, and if he was,
what he intended to do as such could not be
proved by hearsay er , dence. He followed sub
stantially the line of argument taken by Mr.
Stanbery. He held that the conspiracy to re
move Stanton by force must be proved
before these hearsay declarations can be ad
mitted; that in any event military obedience is
not conspiracy - . He asked if that was conspiracy
when General Grant took this office expressly on
the ground of military obedience.
Mr. Bingham responded that the Managers
were not bound to show that this testimony was
connected with the conspiracy to nee force, bait
it was sufficient to warrant its admission 11 it
was in support of the charge of illegal conspiracy
to defeat the Tenure of office act. He said the op
posite counsel bad ingeniously diverted
the attention of the Senate from this view of the
subject. Be quoted the, Civil Tenure Act to
show the illegality of the President's action,
and that such action was expressly specified
there as a misdemeanor. He said the President's
order to Thomas was precisely such a letter of
authority as is specified in that act. He argued
that, the casual statements of a conspirator
are admissible both to show the common
purpose and the means intended to be
used to attain it. He held that Thomas was a
civil and not a military officer, when attempting
to exercise the functions of Secretary of War,
and must be so regarded. His acts could not be;
referred to simple military obedience.
r a Peeial Despat c h to the Pljiladilpll , la EvenlTE g Bulletin,
BOSTON, April I.—ln Providence last evening
one Charles Smith, a farmer from Maine, tempo
rarily stopping in that city, was enticed by three
nun up the railroad track towards the north end.
When near the bridge at Cross street, the men
knocked Smith senseless, robbed him of $4O,
and dragged him on to the railroad track, and
left him just before the ten-o'clock train from
Boston passed. Smith fortunately recovered
consciousness and crawled on to the bank before
the train came thundering by, cutting off the rim
of his hat, as a reminder of the narrow escape ho
hod had from the avful death to which his
wretched associates had doomed him. Mr. S.,
however, received a deep wound under his left
eye and a contusion on the scalp on the back of
his head.

The Impeaehment Trial.
Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.)
WASMINUTON, April I.—Mr. Johnson, on the
conclusion of Mr. Bingham's speech, sent to the
Chair, to be read, a question requesting the
Managers to say whether evidence will hereafter
be introduced to show that Gen. Thomas made
declarations of an intention to use threats, or of
intimidating to obtain possession of the War
Department, and whether the President had any
knowledge of such declarations.
Mr. Evarts rising to address the Senate, the
question arose whether the time allowed by the
rules for debate on this subject had not been con
sumed.
Mr. Conkling moved that, as the counsel for
the President appeared to have been laboring
under misapprehension, they be allowed to con
clude their remarks.
Mr. Forarts,said on the part of the counsel, that
they did not desire to transgress the rale,brit sup.
posed he had some time left, so Mr. Conkline
withdrew his motion.
The question was then taken on admitting the
testimony of Mr. Burleigh, which was decided in
the affirmative by a vote of thirty-nine to eleven,
and Mr. Burleigh then took She stand.
Mr. Burleigh gave a history of his interview
with Gen. Thomas the day after the latter's ap
pointment, and how Gen. Thomas said he would
take possession of the War Office next day, in
viting him to call on him in the Secretary's office
'at 10 o'clock the next day.
He said he asked General Thomas what he
would do if Secretary Stanton refused to give np
the office, and was told that ho would put him
out by force. Mr. Burleigh asked what if he
found the doors barred against him, and was told
that he would break them down.
Mr. Butler proceeded to ilk the witness what
conversation be heard Gen. Thomas have with
the employes of the War Department, making
them promisee of what he would do for them
whenever he came into office?
Mr. Evans had him to fix the date of these con
versations, which were in the week antecedent to
his 'appointment as Secretary ad interim. Mr.
Everts wanted to know the pertinency of the
events occurrine . before Mr. Thomas's appoint
ment.
Mr. Butler replied that they were to show that
General Thomas attempted to seduce the clerks
in the War Office by promises of what he would
do for them when be became Secretary, as Absa
lom tried to seduce the children of Israel by pro_
wises of what he would do for them when he
became king.
Mr. Everts asked if Mr. Butler intended to put
that about Absalom into his question.
Mr. Butler retorted that he intended to put lit
into his illustrations.
At five minutes past three the Court took a re
cess for ten minutes.

followed by war and bloodshed. Ile prayed that. God
pretextvert the danger. Many in our borders sought a
to make the sword leap from the
scabbard and make it drunk with the bleed of
their fellow.. lie asked that God turn to naught
the counsel of the ungodly and the eraftinesi of the ens.
mite of our coup trv.to remember the blood that has already
been shed. an well of our martyred President as of those
who died in the field and hospitals for their country. Ito
modally prayed that the. representatives of the
Teeple should; be endowed with wisdom and
discretion; that the Executive be guided, by
wi. dem. whether he remain President or
not. and that all his acts be marked by prudence and
moderation; that his constitutional advisers be also
guided by the 'spirit of wisdom, as well as all tho rest of
these in authority over . us. that the nation may be pre
pared to receive the decision of the great event and abide
by it; that our especial blessing mew rest upon those who
have the manngement of this Wotan, that the result may
redound to the honor and glory of God.
At a few minutes part 19 the Managers adn the House in
Committee of the whole, and the counsel for the Penal
dent, having taken their usual places the court of im
peachment was called to order by Chief Justice Chase,
and the minutes of the last day of trial were read by
Secretary Forney up to the mention of the vote cast by
the Chief Justice to decide the do vote on the question of
retiring for deliberation.
Mr. Sumner made a motion to correct the journal,
by , inserting the expression of the Senate's opinion that
told vote of the Chief Justice was unauthorized and of
no effect.
On this motion he demanded the yeas and nal% which
were taken, anti resulted, yeas 21, nays 27. So the motion
wee not agreed to.
The question as to the admissibility of Mr. liturlelgh'e
testimony about a conversation between himself and
General Thomas was submitted to the Senate by the
Chief Justice.
Ref ore a vote was taken Mr. Prolinsbuysen (N. J.) in
mired whether the timmagera intended to connect the
testimony of the witness with the respondent's.
Mr. Butler glad they propelled to do so.
Mr Stenbery then Immo and said: The Court had at
length reached the domain of law on a question requiring
cure' ill consideration and argument. He stated the quee
tam to be, whether or not the declarations of Gen. Thomas
were to be need ttgainat the_ President thnugh not
proven to be authorized by himself. It Is alleged
that the pearavuen of the offence charged tu the
first three artifice consists in the isatting by
tT e President of tide letter of authority to Thomas. In
the fourth article the offence charged is a conspiracy with
1 homes to obtain by force and intimidation the office of
Secretary of War. These were tee only articles with
consideration now necessary. A 8 yet we havens proof of
anything that was said or done by the President before
or after giving this letter of authority. The pur
pose of Oda present attempt was ,to show,
the • President's intent net issuing ft by
'produrins irrelevant tc-timony about remarks_ made .

dent. ThoPreaident's intent could be shown only by the
orders themselves; linear - der and letter of authority given
to him did not wake hint a general agent of the Presi
dent. They nuthorized him to do only certain %Perth:

I v this instance no such foundation Of rroof bad brim

letter of authority constituted a relation between the Pre•

He went on, claiming it to be en unprecedented sa

dation.
Mr, Butler replied, Fie said the argument of the re.*
npordenVe counsel seemed to show that they felt the
question involved might decide their case. The,Matme
Imre claimed that the President bad long* intended tee
violate a certain law; he did violate it, and then he
called to his aid a general of the alloy. Me then gave an
order'to ben. Thomas to take possession of the Devitt- •
ment of War, which counsel raid was in the usual form. •
Thisbe (Butler) claimed was not tnto; it had certain

the ground of the relation existing between the President
ant General Thomad'ef principal and agent. The cons
minton was to do just what the President wanted him to
do. I , z: to obtain possession of the War Office. The deo.
titration of General Thomas wee about the common oh
feet, mode to amen whose dike he was trying to secure.
No objection was mine by counsel yesterday to the in
trodactios of testimony relating to what was deem by
General Tierney in the War Department. The President
was not them.
Mr. Stanberr--General Thomas was there acting ninths
his authority.
Mr. Bntier cortinued. and cited authorities to 'vetriport
his views regardbig the admissibility of declarations in
proof of conspiracy mad, by one conspirator in,the ab
sence of another. Ho proceeded to state that thee WO.

General Thomas intor.ded to nee fem. bat was pr_e- -
I vented by hie arrest. and. referred to a remark of Mr.
I Stenbery, that they hag 'now reached a point of law
worthy to be argued by laveyirs to lawyers. They had
already had questions won't) , et debate by statesmen to
statesmen. and he (Mr. Bic ler)nroteeted &gaited narrow
ing the subject down to an orpiment of attorneys. •
Mr. Curtis rejoined that it was a sufficient objection to
the first part of the question to he submitted, that the
evidence sought to be introduced wits immaterial to the
charges in issue, whether it was made by an incompetent.
or a. competent witness. It was also an objection that the
bearing on the question of what wax Um President's inten
tion bad not been pride on oath by 0. aitoese, and cohld
not be admitted unless shown to roam within arecolsad
exception to the retie. In brief, no declarations of General
Thomas could show the President's intent , . If any contd.
they meet have been med. as sworn testimony. The
managers claimed to have shown that there was a con
spiracy to remove Mr. Stanton by force, whereas the only
evidence they had prevented was in an endeavor to show
simply that there wee a conspiracy to remove ,Eitanton.
nothing having been advanced * prove that the employ
'ment of force was contemplated. He combatted at
length the argument of Mr Butler, maintaining that the
authorities cited by the latter were applicable to the point
in dispute. The statement of Butler that the President"s
answer admits this intention to remove Stanton from an
office ho legally held, wee not correct.
The Senate decided by a vote of 39 to II that the witness
should be allowed to answer Mr. Butlers question.

Maltl77l •--The money market was very active to-day.
and more stringent than on any previous day elute last
Friday. 7 b Philadelphia banks and also the bertha from
other neighboring cities drew heavily on New York for
currency to day, and this tended to aggravate the strin
gency. Cell loans ranged from 7 per cent. currency to 7
per cent. gold interest, and In some cases a eomtniesion
was added. The tide of currency will soon turn this way
again, but no permanent relict can he confidently ex
pected until next week. Lisconnt operations are almost
entirely euependt'd, and tho nominal rates for prime paper
are 7 to 10 per cent.
The Assistant Treasurer teclay bought 161,000,000 seven
thirty notes, and sold abeirt 9500,000 of gold. The sub-
Treasury balance is 698,176.000, against 16101.100 last
evening, showing an apparent loss of $2,924,e00. It is did"-
