£W UK FROSTS?
Therpring season has been a fickle one„
and people have grumbled with good reason.
There have been days so very warm, that
tires were suffered to go tout in many furn-*
aces. Ladies put away furs and weolens,
sad goine-ont, rashly bought spring hats and
dresses: Then came n storm and 01 sudden
frost; then again a day or two of Vann
weather,'followed by another frost, the marks
.of which 'were visible this morning in ice in
the gutters and hard-frozen ground in roads
and gardens. ' Various persons, affected by
these uratations, have ventured lipon a novel
quotation concerning "Winter lingering in
the lap of May ;" but they are informed that
this is.not suitable to the month of April, nor
is it s correct 'reading of the verse of the
poet, whose none was Goldsmith and who
wrote:
"Winter lingering chills the lap of May."
It is, therefore. respectfully requested that
this much-abused quotation be allowed to
rest until next month, when, if there is a cold
spell, it may be trotted out for service, and
when also it may be used without violating
the feelings of the lamented Oliver.
The• ill-timed, frost that has marked the lat
ter part oflioly Week is received with spe
cial disfavor by the pious "ladies - who regard
the festival of Easter Sunday as especially
ordained for the first .public wearing of their
spring hats and spring walking dresses. The
weather is wholly out of the fashion. Unless
a sudden mildness comes to-morrow or next
'day, -there-will •be mini , fashionable -ladies
who-will be seized with colds, catarrhs and
the IKglnnings of consumption, next Sunday,
• because they must put on their new spring
suits and the dainty little apologies •lbr hats
that the authorities ,of Paris have decreed
to be part of the head-gear of womankind i❑
the spring of 186$. To doe these on E ester
Sunday is regarded as a duty as well as a
privilege. It is a duty to wear fegtal attire,
and it is a privilege appreciated by those who
have most piously and patiently 'endured the
privations" and penances of the season of Lent.
It is to be presumed, therefore, that there
will be many fervent invocations for a re - ura
of mild weather within the next forty-elgli.
hours.
Happily, in this.latitude, the frosts of the
beginning , of April have done no more seriou ,
damage than to derange the plans of !a )se
precipitate housekeepers_ who have prema
turely packed away fins and flannels, add
those useful and ornamental members of so
ciety who are wont to "inaugurate" thuie
spring novelties at Easter. The fruit trees,
wiser than they,have not rushed into bud and
leaf; fancying - that Spring had come. They
know very well that one bluebird does not
make a spring, anymore than .one swelliw
makes a summer. Therefore it is believed
that there is no damage done to the peaches
and other fruits; which is a pleasant reflec
tion to the fruit-growers of Pennsylvania,New
Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, and a still
pleasanter one to the people who are to to be
their customers next summer. Further
South, where everything is precocious and
premature, from cotton, down or up to
treason, the ,frosts of April may have done
damage. The frost of Impeachment is pretty
sure to nip severely one Southern product,
to wit, Andrew Johnson. But, happily, no
one regards this as a calamity.
A PRESIDENTIAL INTERVIEW.
It is not remarkable that there should be
-some scepticism expressed as to the authen
ticity of the correspondence of the Cinciu
nett Connicrcial, published in yesterday's
BULLETIN, which gives an account of two
recent, interviews w i ith Andrew Johnson.
People wonder if it is possible that such senti
ments and such language can possibly belong
to the President of a great nation like this.
The doubt is a natural one, or would be if
we judged by what ought to be, and not by
what unquestionably is. But the Cominer
ciai is one of the most reliable. of Western
journals, and Andrew Johnson only shows
himself in his native ugliness in these inter
views which are, in all probability, accu
rately reported.
One or two points of these extraordinary
conversations deserve special notice just at
this time. The attempt to make that silly old
man, Lorenzo Thomas, his scapegoat is
worthy of Mr. Johnson. Thomas having
failed,for want of brains and moral courage,t9
oust Secretary Stanton, Mr. Johnson pre
tends to turn on hina, and charges him with
being so over-elated with his promotion as to
have lost what little sense he may have had,
and to have exceeded his authority in at
tempting to eject Stanton by force. Yet he
gives the lie to these professions by con
'tinning to admit him, in all his "fuss and
feathers," to the Cabinet meetings, and gives
a:10 sign of amipproval, unless, by some after
thought of •his counsel, be may have done so,
by way of making capital for his defence.
The President's apology .for his Indecent
"circle speeches" is as bad as the speeches
themselves, and ought to add to the convic
tion already in the public mind, that he is
unfit to be trusted with the Presidency. He
acknowledges that he deliberately entered
into a blackguarding match with the mob at
Cleycland. To use his own classic lan
guage "they went for me, and I went for
them, and we had it hot and heavy for a
while." He thinks that in spite of all that he
did say, he "did not say all that
, he might have said either," which
suggests a fertility of' vulgarity not
pleasant to contemplate. But the most
extraordinary part of this apology is the refer
ence to Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Johnson says:
d not Mr. Lincoln make stump speeches
OD Ii way to Washington, and often after
ward -.Nobody objected to that, and no
crowd, hooted him or badgered him as they
did with me." Out of his own ~ month Mr.
Johnson thus condemns himself. There. is
something like the recklessness of insanity in
thus comparing his cleVeland, St. Louie 'or
Indianapolis tirades with the speeches of
Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Lincoln's speeches
MAY way to Washington were:Pot,as a rule,
among his happiest efforts, as he was con
trolled by an earnst &tire to say nothing
that could possibly be avoided until he
should reach the Capital. His speech at
the fiag-raising at Independence Hall
was an exception which rose ton high 'and
memorable dignity. And as for the speeches
that he made 'Soften afterward," there is a
positive sacrilege in comparing the sublime
words of Gettysburg, for instance, with the
drunhen ravings of Cleveland or St. Louis!
Mr. Lincoln was homely in speech, as he
was in person and manner, but there was a
profound earnestness, a shrewd wisdom, a
genial humor, an unchallenged sincerity
about Lis speeches to which Mr. Johnson is
an utter stranger, and it is „hard to believe that
audaeity could so' 'BO far as to plead the words
of Abraham Lincoln in justification of those
of Andrew Johnson.
But Mr. Johnson sinks to the lowest depth
of a degraded nature when he undertakes to
defend himself from the charge of intoxica
tion. He first denies that he was in toxica
trNl during the Chicago trip, and in the next
breath he virtually confesses it, and says, "at
any rate I did not drink as much as one or two
others." * It is very strange that some
men will be abused like the devil for drink
Lag a glass of whisky and water. *
some men are abused as drunkards if they
are seen drunk once, and others are drunk all
the tune and not a word is said about it. .Y 0
it is w/'h iue !" He adds that none of the
witnesses in the Impeachment Court have
proved that he was drunk on the Chicago
`trip 1 He might have added that no wit
nesses were examined to prove his intoxica
tion, as it is not included, as it might have
been, in the Articles of Impeachment.
These confessions and recriminations are
the most revolting exhibitions that have ever
been made in American public life. They
prove _a condition of things which could not
be believed without some ,such_direct, testi
mony. They bring the President of the
I. 7 iiited States before the world, as no ruler
was ever yet brought. Not only •do they
show him covered with shame, but, what is
infinitely worse, glorying in it. There is a
horrible truthfulness about the tone of the
whole narrative, and unless it can be dis
proved in all its essential particulars, it must
sand as one of the most bitter humiliations
that. Andrew Johnson has yet inflicted upon
the American name, and must help to satisfy
the most• rkeptical that he is not only not
worth fighting for or defending, but that it is
impossible to iid the nation too soon of an
dlicial who is thus, by',his own confessions,
unfit for his present or any other position of
public honor (ar service.
„ P S MENU AL SUCCESSION.
Mitch Xci!( ment has been produced in
Washington and elsewhere, by the despatches
to the l• - .% EN lING Bi'LLETIN, 'connecting the
name of Chief-Justice Chase, directly or in
directly, with an elaborate argument. made
by-the "%rational liztelligatecr, to prove
that neither Mr. Wade nor Mr. Colfax holds
the succession to the Presidency.
TLe statement of our correspondent was
contradicted by some of the morning papers,
yesterday, but it is so strongly and circum
stantially re-affirmed in our despatches
that there is little room to doubt the main
facts asserted.
As there is much curiosity to know what
the views are, thus attributed to Chief Justice
Chase, it may be well to state them briefly.
The Constitution provides that in case of the
removal of both President and Vice President,
Congress shall declare what oft/ccr shall suc
ceed them. The act of March 1, 1792, pro
vides that the President of the Senate, or,fail
ing him, the Speaker of the House, shall act'
as President. It is now argued that this act
is unconstitutional, because members
of Congress are not "officers," which is
argued from the assumption that all "officers'
are impeachable and that Congressmen are
not. This looks like a very absurd line of
argument, and it does not seem probable tha
Mr. Chase would commit himself to it. The
construction that would exclude the mos
proper and natural successors to the
Presidency from that office is so
forced and wire-drawn, that it. appeals
neither to common sense nor to the
obvious meaning of the language of the, law.
A new bill has just been introduced in Con
gress by Mr. Churchill of New York, extend
ing the succession to the Chief Justice, and
also providing for a Presidential election lit
cases where both the Presidency and
Vice-Presidency become vacant more than
eighteen months before the expiration of the
term. The latter proviso does not, of course,
apply to the present condition of atfairs,'and
the former affirms the principle of the origi
nal act.
We have no desire to bring Mr. Chase into
any position that would tend to lower him in
the estimation of the great Republican party
of the country. If that should ever be done,
it can only be by his own act. If he
holds the opinion upon this Presidential sub
ject which our correspondent attributes to
him and offers to prove, he has a perfect right
to the opinion. Whether it is becoming in
him to select such a channel as the
National hateMgt:neer as the vehicle of
his ideas is another question. It must
he remembered that it is Mr. Chase's
secretary and not Mr. Chase himself, who
has "about come to the conclusion never to
vote the Republican ticket..gain." It is very
possible that the Chief Justice may have a
traitor in his employment, but he can only
be held responsible for that if he should keep
him after be has proved himself alike foolish
and unfit for his post. We desire to hold
Mr. Chase in the same high esteem which he
has se long enjoyed as one of the purest and
ablest of the exponents of Republican Kind
plea; but even to him, exalted as he is in
honor and rank, the one undeviating test
must be applied: "by their fruits ye shall
know them."
SENATORIAL FOSSILS.
Ths question of the qualifications of jurors
came up in the United States Senate yes
terday. I A bill, which was passed by a vote
of 37 to 8, provides that the expression of an
opinion founded on public rumor, or state
ments in public journals, shall not disqualify,
a juror otherwise competent, and who shall
take an oath that he can give a verdict ac
cording to the evidence. Messrs. Davis, of
Kentucky, and Bayard, of Delaware, who
belong to the good old Kiwi of politicians
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.-I'I3IILADELFITIA, TIIIIBSDAY, APRIL 9,1868
who del not believe in newspapers, orin the
putrid spread of hatelligence, opposed the
bill. Mr. Bayard got off the brilliant idea
tbat a man could not • be otherwise than
partial after once forming and expressing an
opinion ; while Mr. Davis, with owl-like
wisdom, declared that he Was , not sure that
the measure was not an innovation on the
sacred right of an impartial trial by jury,
and concurred in the opinion expressed by
Mr. Bayard. He would sooner yield the
whole' Government than this inestimable
right. Fortunately there were enough un
fossilized Senators to pass the bill by an over
whelming majority, and the anxiety of Messrs.
Davis and Bayard, lest men of ordinary in
telligence and judgment should sit upon
juries, went for nought. Jack Cade, as
Shakespeare portrayed him, would have been
a man after the heart of the senatorial re
presentatives of Kentucky and Delaware.
"Code. Dost thou nee to Write thy name? Or
bast then a mark to thyself, like an honest plain
dealing man?
"Clerk. Sir, I thank God, I have been so well
brought up, that I can write my name.
- AI/. De bath confessed; away with him; he's
a villain and a traitor.
"Code. Away with him, I say; hang him with
fits pen awl inkhorn about his neck."
Henry A. Wise, while in Congress, once
thanked God that there was not a newspaper
published within the bounds Of his district;
and the persecution of Yankee "school
marms" is still a favorite recreation with the
chivalry. Messrs. Davis and Bayard simply
follow their old instincts when they propose
to discard all jurors who have sufficient intel
ligence to read a newspaper and common
sense enough to form a rational judgment upon
things that are occupying and agitating the
public mind.
Governor Swann, of Maryland, made a
speech last night, at the Democratic head
quarters at Ninth and Arch streets. Among
other things which
,the Governor stated was
-the fact that of those who represent the State
of Maryland in its Legislatuee, eyed , man is
a Democrat. He also said that in hiadeunestic
home of Baltimore, all the members of the
municipal corporation were staunch and true
Democrats, almost uniting as a whole upon
State or municipal improvement. He was
pleased to inform the Democracy of this
State that in its attempt to overthrow the
torrent of lladicalism which is now sweeping
over us, they had the hearty co-operation of
the Democracy .of the firm old State of 'Mary
land. This is nothing new; at al if ( ;averwir
Swann had nothing more novel to Colllll3lllli
cate, he might as well have made no speech
to his Copperhead friends of Philadelphia.
Baltimore was Democratic when it slaught
ered the men of the Sixth Massachusetts Re
giment in its streets. Marshal Kane, Merri
man and Ross Winans were good Democrats
when they burned the bridges that formed a
link of communication between the endan
gered national capital and the loyal
North. Baltimore was Democratic on that
gloomy Sunday which succeeded the fall of
Sumter, and it remained staunchly and openly
Democratic until the guns of Fort McHenry
were turned upon it, and until loyal troops
were quartered upon'Federal Hill. Baltimore
and Maryland are steadfast in their loyalty—
to the Democratic party; and we needed no
Swann to come from there to inform us of the
fact. In the meantime we congratulate the
Dettocratic party of Philadelphia upon its
bridge-burning, Union soldier-shooting and
rebel-flag-raising allies of Maryland.
The Associated Press despatches nave
lately failed to say anything about some of
the Western elections at which the Republi
cans made gains. In Cleveland, for instance,
there was a Republican gain of over one
thousand, which was not telegraphed. In
Norwalk, Akron, Fremont and other places
in Ohio, there were also handsoml Repub
lican gains, as we learn from the Ohio papers:
but these were not telegraphed, while a great
parade was made of Republican losses in
Cincinnati, Columbus and some other places.
Throughout Ohio the Republican pins ap
pear to overbalance the losses heavily, and
the same may be said of other. Western
States where elections have taken place. if
the results of minor local elections are tele
graphed at all to the East, they ought to be
general and impartial.

The Impeachment That.
iSPecha Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Enilettal
WasitiNGtoN, April 9th—The Capitol was
thronged again this morning by crowds anxious
to bear the opening argument for the President's
defence.
The pressure for tickets, during the past few
days! has been as great as at any time during the
trial. The galleries were well Shed before noon,
the audience, as before,being three-fourths ladles,
comprising the elite of the city, who, the gay
season being over and a State trial their only ex
citement, have become habitual attendants, and
rove to give the &nate chamber a highly bril
liant and picturesque appearance.
A greater number of Senators than usual were
on hand at the opening of the session, generally
gathering in knots of three or four and engaged
n animated conversation.
Gen. Sherman was on the floor, and was
warmly greeted by many Senators who gathered
arouni him. Justice Field, ok the Supreme
Court, came in and seated himself alone on one
side, but joined and entered into conversation
with Mr. Everts when the latter appeared. The
usual number of chairs were ranged behind the
Senators' desks, althoigh there is not in the city
half enough members of the House to fill them.
The Court was opened in the usual form', and
when the Managers and the House were an
nounced, about thirty members came in. Mr.
Thornton, the British Minister, appeared in the
Diplomatic Gallery.
The north Carolina Election.
tEpeelal Despatch to the Phlladelphig Evening Bulletin.l
WosnisioxoN„„ April I—Prominent men' are
here from North Carolina, endeavoring to get
the leading Radicals to advise Governor Holden
to withdraw as a candidate for Governor, and
unite upon some person who would receive the
entire strength of the Republican vote. Under
the existing condition of affairs there, it will be
impossible to elect the 'Republican ticket, or to
carry the election. There is great dissension in the
party, the Republicans having two State tickets
in the field, one represented by Gov. Holden,
and the other by Mr. Goodloe, and it is the
union of these two factions that the delegation
is now here seeking to accomplish. The Goodloe
faction, representing one-half of the Republican
votes in the State, express a willingness to with
draw from the contest if Mr. Holden will do the
same thing, and unite upon one ticket, thus in
suring the success and adoption of the now Con
stitution. It is thought that the necessary intim
enee will be brought to bear upon Mr. Holden to
have him withdraw from the contest, and not
contribute to the success of the Democratic
ticket by refusing to do so.

President Johnson, to whom he had applied for

bands upon such terms.

!From today's N. Y. Herald.]
A NHL B.—The gold market WAS firm today, and the I
fluctuations were from 138'; to 128?,4 up to the adjournment
of the Board, following which there was an advance
to 12836. From three to six per cent. per annum only
was paid for carrying coin, the result of tee In
creased supply of money. The gross clearings'
amounted to $36,191,0,0, the gold balances to ik 1,-
et:3.417 and the currency balances to $3,861.897.
1 be eteamer China for 1 iverpool took out $190,111
in specie. There fa an absence of speculative ani
mation in the room, and the course of political
affairs at Washington is unheeded. It is probable, how-
ever, that but for the progress of the impeachment trial
the premium would tend downward temporarily under
the mere inactivity which prevails. As it is the undertone
of the mat ket is very firm, and commercial causes will
ll' imately result in an advance.
Money was in moderately - abundant supply early in the
day at seven per cent. in currency, but afterwards,
under an increased demand, there was considerable ac
tivity.
The stock market has been dull and drooping all daY,
and it so entirely lacks outside support and the confi
dence of the street that the bull cliques are forced to con
tinue the principal Minns themselvee: Erie showed es
pecial weakness. owing to the reports from Albany to the
effect that the Erie bill had been placed on the ,referred
calendar and would be reached soon, and that the Sena
tor who reported it was confident of is passage, The
struggle between the rival parties is a very bitter one,and
those who do not take a partisan view of it are de
bourced by both aidee. •The Vanderbilt party
say that their cause lathe holy one, and that it is the duty
of all the newspapers to attack their opponents; while
the Eric party say that theirs Is the righteous enure, and
that they are doing battle against monopoly, and that the
public journals ought expose the evil consequences to the
public which would result from the success of their ad
versaries. Mt anwhlle public opinion entirely coincides
with the memorial of the. Chamber of Commerce of title
city to the Legislature on the subject. Monopoly, and es
pecially a railway monopoly, will find no favor outaidd of
Wall street
Government securities were very strong and active, and
prices experienced a further advance of . ‘ 4 , (413 . 4 per cent
doting the forenoon. but afterwards a, reaction of
from the highest point took place, upon which there was
a n-sewed demand from the dealers, and the market was
firm at the decline. The ecanty supply of bonds in. Wall
street, and the advancing tendency of five-twenties in
Europe combine to assist the upward movement, and
already the foreign bankers are anticipating the effect of
the disbursement of the May intermit; while the fact that
ex-interest bonds are considerably cheaper than they
were five weeks ago furnishes a strong argument in favor
of a further material Hem
The foreign exchange market was strong and rates were
advanced a fraction under a prospective demand for bills
from importers as well as from the agents of Englieh and
Getman bankers in remittance of part of the May interest
on fisaStwentfes held abroad. It is estimated that about
tea millions of the twenty-four millions due on the lot
proximo will be payable to bondholders In Europe, and
that half of this amount Will be remitted and the other
half invested in -ftve.twenties, At the cleats bankers'

[Front to-day's World.]
A mu. B.—The money market is quiet at 7 per cent. in
currency, the banks are discounting more freely for their
customer?, and in the street prime paperis taken at 7 to 8
per cent,
The Secretary of the Treasury bee decided that the

will disburse the balance, Cllooo'ooo of 3 per cedt reel ill

the future coition of the money market, as It will place

too of compound interest notes which have ceased to be
available for active circulation an money. This change of
policy on the part of the Secretary is said to have been
forced upon him by that public opinion which the recent
stringency in the mercy market and Treaintry Deport
as at mar meats leading thereto have tweezed. This I
change of policy will benefit every intent- t.

with the exception of Mat COO 000 of 3 per cent. certificates.
The course of the Government bond market is therefore
likely to follow the comae indicated in Messrs. J my ()mike

hilt railroad War is likely to ho carried on with even more
vigor in striving to obtain possession of some them
lead in g conneeti on ir to the Chicago and Emetic 'Rail
rend. Some of the heavy capitalists who gave their
proxies and support to Commodore Vanderbilt in cttstain
mg for him the control of the New York Central have al
ready been makingpnrchasee In Toledo and Wabash and
Fort Wayne. They have discovered that they and -Com
modore Vanderbilt have made a serious mistake in
net securing control of the various Western rdado
which have their terminus at Toledo. The Michigan
Southern, connecting Toledo. Chicago and Detroit.
and the Toledo and Wabash, running from Toledo about
lee miles to Quincy ens Keokuk, lowa, and connecting
with Chicago over the Fort Wayne road, could have been
obtained at much less outlay of capital than that which
the Comrriodore, and his friends bays already sunk in
Erie. while possession of the control of either Michigan.
Southern or Toledo and WO nob. and Fort Wayne
would have made the Now York Central an Inde
pendent continuous through route from New York
City. to Chicago and the far West. Thts poliey, if It had
been adopted by the Vanderbilt party, would have ren
dered this Erie contest unnecessary. The strength of
these Western stocks throtighout the whale of the recent
money stringency, and the continuous purchases made in
them of all the stock that offered during the great pros
sure for money, indicate that the Vanderbilt parties are
taking stein to remedy the mistake they have made
in permitting these Central Western roads to be under
other control than their own. This is the policywhich
was pursued by the Pennsylvania Central and the Balti
more snd Ohio companies, and by which they control the
traffic to the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. The 'great
investment value of the Pennsylvania Central and Balti
more and Ohio companies is owing to this policy of hold
ing a controlling interest in Western roads.

THE MURDER OF MR. McGEE:

Dosrox, April 9.-Within a few days a formal
challenge of the University ,crew' of Yale has
been received by the Harvard crew, the proposi
tion being to row at Worcester on July 24th, and
there is no doubt that this will be accepted. At tlds
early period of the season the two crews are not
positively decided upon, but it is generallyueder
stood that • •Harvard will be the mine as
last year, except that a new man swill
till the place of Mr. Edmunds, who - has
graduated. In the Yale Boat, Mr. Parry,
who pulled No. 2 last year,will probably row the
drake, and Mr. Copp will 'change from the
stroke to No. 3. Mr. Lee, who pulled No. 4 last
year, and Mr. Terry of the Freshmen
crow, together with Mr. Coffin, will
most likely •be in the bow, and
the other man will be Mr. Drew or Mr.
Dockland. As the Yale rowing 'men have bro
ken up the club system organized by classes, it
is- perhaps not unreasonable to look foroome
class challenges, which woold undoubtedly be
met , in a friendly spirit.

SLNATE.—Tbe doers were opened to the crowd at eleven
o'clock this morning, and the galleries were considerably
tilled by en audience of the renal well-dressed order at
the opening of the Senate at 12 o'clock.
After prayer by a etranger,in which all the departments
of the government were remembered, the President pee
km. relinquished the chair for the Chief Justice, and the
Court was opened.by the usual proclamation. At 12.10
the Managers were announced, and all appeared but Mr:
Stevens.
The - comisel for the President were all promptly pre
sent. The members of this. House were announced at
12.15, and a rather larger proportion than on recent occa
sions put in their appearance.
The Chief Justice asked, Have the Managers on the
part of the House of Representatives any further evidence
to bring in?
Mr. Butler—We have. •
. . .
On motion of Senator Johnson the further reading of the
iournal was dispensed with when but little progress had
been made.
Mr. Butier,on the part of the managers,thencalted inVie
D. Wood who wan sworn.
W. 11. Wood, of Alabama, testified that he has served
in the T mien army, and called onthe President In Decem
ber, 1866, to ask for Goverment employment
Mr. Butler said it was, the design to prove by thin wit
nese the Presidents hostility to Congress, dm. •
Wood then narrated his conversation - with She Presi
dent. in course of which the latter nail he could not do
anything ter witness, as it appeared his influence was
cart on the aide of Congrese, and those whom he ap
pointed mute eidewith him.
Crosaexamined by Mr. Stantery.
had not said to a Mr. Coppell, of this city that his evi
dence would be more to the advantage of the President
than in the interest of the Managers; had not been in
etructed by the elanagera to state anything sehiele be
could not truthfully say.
On re-direct-examination it appeared there had been
a misunderstanding on the part of Mr. Coppeth which
witness corrected by saying the President had not told
him there would be a tax of 9S per cent. on hie salary for
the support of the Administration.
Foster Blodgett was appointed in 1865 Postmaster of '
Augusta; during the ream .of the Senate in IRS he, re
ceived another commission- in January, 1668, wee sus.
Olided by the President and does not know whether the
Senate has been notified of this order. •
Tbe letter of General Thomas accepting the appoint
ment as Secretary ad interim was then put in evideace.
Mr. Butler gave notice that the Bfanagers would eleehe
certificates of the proper officers to show that no remora
for the suspension of Mr. Blodgett had ever been sent to
tea Senate. ,
Mr. Curtis then rose and commenced the OPenthe tram
ment for the defence. Alluding 'to the character of the
trial and to the oath taken by the Senators in thole capa
city as judges, he said the only appeal he should
make would be to the conscience and • the
reason ' of each and every judge,
basing his arguments solely on questions of law and tact.
lie intimated that he rod -subsequently combat ,the
poi ition taken by the vr
Managers. that thia body was not
osentially and in fact a court, but at present Would COO
elder the articles eepartitely and in their order and sub-
stance. The gravity of the charges of the. first .
eight articles was that the removal of Mr. Stan
ton watt, and was intended to be, in violation -
of the Tenure of Office net and the Constitution. Ile then
stalled to show that the ease of Mr. Stanton did not tome
within the scope and provident' of the Tenure of. Office
net, maintaining that the description of his office and its
torture differed materially in the section and in lte Pre
vise, Stanton was appointed by Lincoln in 1801 to hold
office during the term for which he was elected, not to
hold It during the subeequent term for which he might be
elected.
It could not be said thatJohnsonia serving out the term
of Lincoln, The term for which a President im elected is
not absolutely four year?, but is limited by life and
ability. Hill conditional term expiring, the Vice Presi
dent succeeds to a new time, which contests] of the re
ruaineer of the term for which the Vice Pre
sident was
elected. As well might it be said
that one sovereign nerved out the terra of
another wham he succeeded. There was a purpose iu
the difference of phraseology between the section rind ltd
PTOViEO. The Constitution atitherizes the President to
call upon members' of his Cabinet for ntivico respecting
mutters concerning Iris own ditties, as well es
respective matters connected with the varioria
departments., and such had been the invarimble
practice since the foundation of the I.; oven n eent. They
were the voice and heeds of the President ; la them he
was to repose coutideuce, and for them he was to be re
nponeible. yor this reason they were placed by the Tenure
of Office to the same potetion no the Prealdent by whom
they were appointed. They were to serve ore his terns of
rerviee, but an to othere bolding over, the cape was dif
ferent.
Mr. curtis then proceeded to Showw,4L . :the feeling
and intention of both houses of Congreys In the fram
ing and pantiles of this bill, maintaining thee' were
in accord with the views he had just expressed. Be
quoted from speeches explaining the report of the Com
mittee cf Conference, made by Mr. Schenck,and also
from the speeches .of Senetora , Shertitan Williams and
others in the Senate. in which they denied that either
the purpose or effect of the bill was to keep
Stanton._ in office. Ile rend these. not as °sprees
ions of individ nal opinion, but as explana
tions of the report of the Committee of Conference.
Returning to the consideration of the) articles, he said: .
The 6th section forbids any removal contrary to the pro
visions of the act but as. Stanton did not yield there war,'
no removal, and if there had heen it would not hive vio
lated the act, since be bad just shown that Stanton did'
not come within its provisions.
The Bonne of liepreeentatives charge the Preeldent
with intentional violatir n of fitis section, which unquea
tionablY cleats of different constructiova, but. they. foil to
prove that he concurred in their interpretation end 'thew
wilfully acted in contravention of it •
he first duty of the President is to construe linnet and
decide what is its true meaning. This duty he performed.
as the conatitution provided by consulting with his coned
tutional advieere, and they all pat the same construotime
upon the act in quention an bad been aseigned to it byits
framers.
