Mier Jesticti Cutter.
Q Itithe course of that day, the, h2d of February,
did you have ar4 Ltl*VieW. in company, with General
Thomas or Otherwise, with the President of the United.
States? A. I went 'to She President's house for the
pee one of taking to the President the affidavit, &c..
Piled by General Thomas. and communicating to the
President what had transpired in regard to the case.
Q. Did, you commutdrete to him what, had trauS
pired in regard to the case
Mr. Bueten—l submit, Mr. President, that that is
wholly immaterial ; the Senate lined in the Pres
ident'S acts in employing Mr. Cox as hie counsel
But what "ceenmunicstion, took •place between the
President and Mr, Merrick, who very frankly tells
us that he was employed by General Thomas aa his
counsel, I think cannot be evidence.
The Chief Justice was understood to rule the
question admissible.
Mr. CURTIS—Q. State whether you communicated
to the President, in the presence of General Thomas,
what bad transpired in reference to the case. A. My
recollection is, that I communicated what had trans
pired to the President, in the absence of General
Thomas ; that he was not at the Executive Man.
sion whetsl called ; that during the interview General
Thomas arrived, and the same communication was
then made in a general conversation, in which the
Attorney-General, Mr. Stanbery, the President,
General Themes and myself, participated.
Q. Please state whether, either from the President
himself or from theAttorney-General in his presence,
you received afterwards any instructions orsugges
ti one as to the course to be pursued by you in General
Thomas' easel In the first place you may fix, if you
please, the hour of the day when this occurred on the
22d? A. It think the proceedings before Chief Jus
tice Cartter at chambers took place between ten and
half-past ten, to the best of my recollection; about
half-past; and immediately after they concluded, and
they extended over ti very ehott . period; I ordered
copies of the papers to be ,nasde, and se wit as they
were made, I took them to 'the Bwectitive Mansion; 1
Walt I o ccupied probably . from , thirty Minutes to an
hour to make the melee, and mytaftiraselon is I
reached the Executive Mansion sboutiltiOtt,
Q. Now you can answer the residue of the question
whether yen received either from the Preadult him
self or the Attorney-General in the presence of the
President, any direetione or. suggeations as to the
course to be taken by you as conned in the case?
Mr. litertnn to Mr.Curtis--Q. Do you ask now for
the conversations?
Mr. Curves—l ask for directions to this gentleman.
I do not care how far it goes.
Mr. BUTLEtt—I think, air, these conversations can
not be put in. This is not the employing and send
ing there of his waned to do anyththg but giving
directions as to how General Thomas' counsel are to
try this case.
Crirries-I suppose it deends upon what was
said. They might amount to "verbal acts," as they
are called in the books, if this gentleman so received
and acted non them. I suppose they then passed
out of the sense of declarations. The.question is
whether he received directions or suggestions from
the President or the Attorney-GeneraL
Mr. Bierten--The difficults is this. It is not the
mere question of the difference between acts and
declarations, although declarations make it one de
gree farther off. My proposition is that the Presi
dent's acts, in giving directions to General Thomas'
counsel to defend General Thomas, that counsel not
being employee' by the President cannot be evidence,
whether acts or ace:le-ration&
Mr. EVAI27S--It does not follow that these instruc
tions were to defend General Thomas.
The first of the inquiry is, that the instructions were
to make investigations that this proceeding !mins
such as could be taken on behalf of the President, you
cannot anticipate what the answer may be. An offer
to phew that the Attorney-General, in the presence of
the President. as soon as the report of the situation
of this case of General Thomas was made, gave cu
min instructions to this gentleman of the profession,
iu reference to grafting upon that case the act of hav
ing a habearr cruTur.
IttartEr.- 4 do not propose to argue it; the
statement of it is enough.
The offer of evidence was reduced to writing, as
follows:
"We offer to prove ethate at the hour of 1.2 o'clock,
noon, on the 22d of February, on the first communis
cation with the President as to the situation of Gene
ral Thomas' case, the President," or the Attorney-
General in his presence, gave the witness certain di
rections as to obtaining a writ of habeas corpus for the
purpose of testing, judicially. the righted Mr. Stan
t on to continue to hold the office of Secretary of War
against the authority of the President."
The Corer denier decided that, the proof was ad
missible within the rule adopted by the Senate, but
raid that be would put the question to the Senate, if
an Senator desired it.
No vote being called for, the examination was re
sumed.
Mr. Cs - arm—The question is whether the President,
or the Attorney-Genera in his presence, , gave you
any instructions in reference to the proceedings to
obtain a writ of habeas corpus to test the right of Mr.
Stanton to hold the office contrary to the will of the
President!
Witneses-The Attorney-Genersh cm leaning from
me the situation of the casonskedif it was possible in
any way to get It into the Supreme Court immediate
ly. I told him I was not prepared to answer that ques
tion. Be then said: “Look at it, and see whether or
not you can take It up to the Supreme Court immedi
ately on habeas corpus. and have the decision of that
tribunal." And I told him I would.
Q. Subsequent to that time had you come into com
munication with any gentleman acting as counsel for
the President, in relation to that matter ? A. I exam
ined the question as requested by the Attorney-Gen
eral; and on the evening or afternoon of the 22 and,
I think, within two or three hours after I had seen
him, I wrote him a note.
Mr. Bursas—We object to the contents of the note
heine given as evidence.
Mr. Cisme ( to the witness'--Stating the result:
Wittera--Stating the resaltpf that examination.
Mr. Bt.-nen—Whatever is in that note you must
t ot shoe,
Mr. CL'hl - 19 to the witness--You wrote him a note
eu that subject. Witness--I wrote him a note on
that subject, the following Monday or Tuesday, this
teing Setunlay; I suet Mr. Coe; who was the counsel
for the President; as I understood and in consultation
with him I communicated to him the conclusion I
had arrived at in the course of the examination on
the Saturday previous; we having come to the same
conclusion, agreed to conduct the case together in
harmony, with a view to accomplish the contemplated
result of taking it to the Supreme . Court by a habeas
eorptld.
Q. State now anything which you and Mr. Cox did
for the , purpose of accompliehing that result? A.
Having formed our plan of proceeding, we went, into
court on the day on which, according to the bond.
General Thomas was to appear before Judge Cutter
in chambers? That WO, I thick, on Wednesday, the
if I are not mietaeen. Can I state what trans
pired?
Mr. CURTIS—Yes, so far as regards your acts.
Mr. Butrisme—l respectfully submit once again,
Mr. President, that the acts of General Thomas
counsel, under the direction of the Attorney• General
..fter the President was 'lmpeached, cannot be put in
evidence. .
Witness--Will you allow me to make a correction ?
Mr. Ccneis--Certainly.
Witness—You asked when I next came in contact
with any one representing the President., .1 should
have stated that on,Tuesday night, by appolittment, I
had an interview wi th the President on the subject of
this case, and of the proceedings to be taken on the
following day.
BuTlesti—l don't see that that alters the ques
tion, Whitler request may be reduced to writing be
fore I argue it, because I have argued one or two ques
tions to-day, and then found other questions put in
their place.
The Ones JteucE--Counsel will please reduce the
questiono to writing.
The question being reduced to writing, read as fol
lows: -
"What, if -anything, did you and Mr. Cox do in re
lation to accomplishing the result you have spoken
ot
Mr. Bortru—Does that Include what was done in
court?
Mr. Correa at , includes what, was done before
Chief Justice Cutter'.
The CHIEF ArincE—The Chief Justice thinks it is
competent, but be will put it to the Senate if any Sen
ator desires its. ,
No vote having been called for, the question was sl
owed to be put to the witness.
Witness--To answer that question, it is necessary I
should state what transpired before the judge in cham
bers aid in:court on , Wedimadsas when all that 'we did
wee done to accomplish that result; we went into the
room in City Ball in which the Criminal,Court held its
cession in the morning; Judge Carrier was then hold
ing the term of. the 'Criminal Courts and the Criminal
Court was regularly adjourned; aria mato business. of
the Criminal Court was discharged, the Chief
Justice announced that he was ready to
hear the case of 'General Thomas.
The question was then suggested whether It
should be beard in Chambers or before the Court. The,
Chief Justice said he would hear it as in Chambers.
The Criminal Court not haying been adjourned, the
ease was thereupon called up. The counsel appear
ing for Mr. Stanton. or for the government. Messrs.
Carpenter and Riddell, moved that the ease be con
tinued or postponed until the following day, on the
grounds of the absence of one or two of the witnesses,
I think, and on the additional plea of Mr. Carpenter's
indisposition; to that motion, after a consultation
with my associates, Mr. Cox and Mr. Joseph II Brad
ley, who appeared 'as advisory counsel for General
Thomas, I arose and objected to a postponement,.
stating that I WM constrained to object. redivided's:id
ing the plea of personal indisposition, na which I
always yielded, and that I objected now for the reason
that - this was a case involving :a question of great
public interest, and which the harmonious action
of the government rend red necessary to be speedily
determined. I elaborate that view, and Kr, Cellen- •
ter replied, representing hat there could be t e i t r k:S. tri
ment to the public service, and he onnuntitly
'Court for a postponement. The Ohleir-4nettes here
upon remarked, I think, that lt was tlsi And time he
kn co u nsel snotch the plea of personaliridisposition
of
was eenerally snfficient; and he. went .
,on to remark
on the motion further, insomuch that I concluded
that he would continue the case till the following

case wo I ;ought forwlirdst Motillai that ittre then ad

motion was argued by counsel and overruled by the
jadge at Chambers, not In Gantt. V. Ulm atibmitted

Mr. BUTLER, interposing—Mr. President, I wish
simply to he understood, so 'that I may clear. MY
skirts of the matter, that this all comes in under our
Objection and tinder' the riding of - the presiding
Meer.
Cuss" Teseice, with severe dignity in his
tones- - It comes in under the direction of the senate
of the United States to, the wituese..Proceed, ale.
Witness--We then a . notincea to the judge that
General Thonias' .bail had , =rendered him, or that
be was in the custody of the Marshal. and the litet
sbal wall advancing towaree him at the tune; rthink
that Mr, Bradley or Mr. Cox handed me, while on thy)
feet and while making that anonneencent, the peti
tion for the habeas carpus. which I then presented to
the Criminal- Court, whicb, , having opened in the
morning, had not yet adjourned, and over. which the
Chief Justice was presiding. 'I presented , ther peti
tion for the habeas corms to the Criminal Court, rep- .
resetting that General Thomas was in the ens •
todrof the Marshal, ' and I asked that I should be
heard.
Mr. Burfre—Was that petition in writing?
Witness—That petition was In writing ; I believe
I said it was handed to me by one of my associates,
and if my recollection serves me right, I have seen
the petition since; it was not signed when handed
to me.; General Thomas and Mr. Bradley were sitting
immediately behind me ; I laid it down, and it was
taken up by some of . the reporters ; it was not re
gained for half an hour. •
Mr. Courts—After you had read it, what occurred ?
Witness--After I read it a discussion arose on the
propriety of the petition. and the legality of the time
of its presentation; counsel on the other side con
tended that General Thomas.was not in custody, and
that it was a remarkable cue: I remember that ex
pression of Mr. Carpenter's, for the accused party to
insist upon putting himaelf in custody; we, con
tended tnat be wee to euatody, and that be did not
propose to put himself in :custody;
,counsel .on the
other side stated that they' desired' neither that he
should be put in custody nor that he give bonds, be
cause they were certain, from his character and
position, that he would be present to answer
any charge that might be brought against him;
The Chief Justice replied that in view of the
statement of counsel be would neither put him in cus
tody nor demand bond for his appearanee; he was
himeelf satisfied that these was no ndceasity for pur
suing either course; we then remarked that if General
Thomas was not in custody nor tinder bend he was dis
cbarged,and I think some one stated be in dtecharged*.
thereupon. In order that there should be a decleion in
reference to the alternatives presented, of hit being
placed in custody on discharged in order to bring up
the question 'officially of hie commitment, he was
thereupon discharged.

Q. Who was he? A. Mr. Selye, of Rochester,
New York.
Q. How did it happen, that you made thievish?
Mr. BUTLER interposing--I pray judgment
Mr. Byer:re--This Is simply introductory, nothing
material.
Witness--Mr. Selye said that While he knew the
Pteeldebt he never had been fotinally presented to
hire, and understanding that I was a friend of the
president, and well acquainted with him, ho asked me
if I would not go up with him to the President's and
then introduce him.

pointed 2 o'clock at his room, in Twelfth street, to
meet him for that purpose.

him to go in and say to the President or to Colonel
Moore with fnv compliments—
Mr. BuTLEIt interrupted the witness.
Mr. IlvanTe—Was the fact that Mr. Selye was a
member of Congress mentioned? Witness—Yee.
Q. Bo that you gotin ? A. Yee.

Q. Was the President alone when you went in ? A.
He was alone.
Q. Did you Introduce Mr. Selye? A. I introduced
Mr. Seelye as a member of Congress from the Roch2a
ter District
Q.• Without reference to any other conver
sation that occurred between you and the President,
or between Mr. .Selye and you and the Preeident.
1 come now to what I sappoee to be pertinent to
this case. Before thiestime, had yon heard that any
order for the removal pf Mr. Stanton had been made?
A. I hr.d heard nothing of it..
Q. Had Mr. Selye heard of it, so far as you know!
A. So far as I know, he had not; I found him lying
down when I gotto hie room, at two o'clock.
Q. Did he then , hear from the President of the re
moval of Mr. Stanton?
Mr. Bwrr.rat—l object to the statement of the Pres!.
dent to this witness, or to Mr. Selye, or to anybody
e se. ",11 his declarations made to all the persons in
the country are to be given in evidence, there would
be no end to this case. Everybody would be brought
here, and where are we to atop? If there is to be any
stop. Itis now.
2d r. ,Evak”—The evidence is proper. T.he time to
consider about,the public interest waawherrthe trial
commenced. Of course it Would be more convenient
to stop the, case..,at ..the end. of .the prosecution; it
would save the time'of the country.: •
Mr. Ithriam---Thequestion ittebnPlY What Was said
hem mirth° Prealdent and her. Selye and Mr ..Perrine.
I have the honorto object to it.
Mr. Brame-4 am redwing the question toform.
The offer of proof being reduced to writing, and
handed over to Mr. Butler for hie :.examination, was
read by the Clerk, as follows
""We offer to prove that the President then stated
that he had issued an order for the removal of Mr.'
Stanton, and the employment of General Thomas to
perform the duties, ad interim ; that thereupon Mr.
Pertitfe.ssid, supposing Mr. Stanton shall oppose the
oreer," and the President replied : ` There is no
danger of that, for General Thomas is already in the
°Mee' . Be then added: ' It is only a temporary ar
rangement; I shall send into the Senate at once a
good name for the office.'"
Mr. BUTLER objected Ile said that this was mere
narration, mere statement of what the President had
done and what he intended to do ; that it never was
evidence and never would be evidence In any organ
!zed court.
. . ...
Mr. EVART'S said he was not aware the credit, of the
testimony wits t all affected by the fact that Mr. Per
rine had been e n gaged in po l itica l Nor did he ann.
pose that that fact would assist the. Court in deter
mining what was evidence. The question was whether
declarations at the ti n ts and under those circum
stances of the President's iptent, and it what he
had done was -proper to be given in evidence.
It larvae. be °waved .that, this was an 111tet•
view between • the President and a member of
Congress, one of the wand Wingate of the nation.
That at Abet hour the .Presideat suppotied, from the
statement of General Thomae d ditat Mr. Stanton waa

down In iftirdy's case, MA to which' he called the , '
tentiotrof 'the Senate, If this offer prerOf did ot
come perfectly within the rule in that case. then,-he
novel' met with a case in all his experience whic h` came 'within, it. He would leave the , objettfOret
that point to the decision of the Senate.
Mr. Rvenxii argued for the admission of the Oyler
deuce. He admitted thaethe question now WORMS
matt not entirely covered by any ruling of the Senate,
because there were circumstances' attending the first
offer of evidence which were not precimely reproduced
here, but Senators would , observe that befdre the
controversy arose, audit% the time, when in the FreddenCe opinion, there was to be no controversy, he
bad made this statement In the course of this inter
course with a member of Congress thus letrodneed to
;him,, concerning his public action. The evidence had
a hearing teso upon the question whether the Presi
dent was Ming or justifying force. .It .had also a
bearing upon the fact, that the next day the President
actually did send, in the name of Mr, Ewing, of Ohio,
for the place of Secretary of War.
Mr, Mertes Mild there were one or two new facts
on which this evidence was pressed, ' the first and
most material being that the
had
had oce
cuffed before the controversy had arisen between the
President and Congress on the subject of Mr. Stanton..
Jr that were So, then there -might be. some Color or
shadow of a claim , to admit this evidence. Another
proposition was that it might be evidence because it
was said to a Member of Congress.
He was aware that members of Congress had HAW
and privileges belonging to their popitletn, but he
never yeas aware before that one of thole rights was
that what was said to members was evidence. There
were a good many things said to him which he should
be very unwillim to have admitted as evidence; for
instance, a written declaration had been sent to him
to-day, "Como prepared to meet your God." (Laugh
ter:l "The adversary is on your track; Hell is your
portion." [Continuous laughteel
He objected to it. foasseeing what might come quite
as properly as it. He foresaw that some of the lady
friends' of the President--(he begged pardon; he
meant some of the women friends)--might go to the
'White House and be told by the President what his
purpose was '
, and then come and 'testify to it here,
which would be just as good evidence in his judg
ment as what 1985 now offered.
Mr. Evens made a few remarks in support of the
offering of the testimony.
The Chief Justice staid—Senators: The Chief Jew
flee is unable to determine the precise extent to which
the Senate applies its own decision. He has under
stood the eeeision to be that evidence may, be given
for the purpose of showing the conversations of the
President at or near the time of the transaction. It
is said that this evidence is distinguishable from that
test introduced. The Chief Justice is not able to dis
tinguish it, and will submit the question to the Sen
ate whether the testimony shall be admitted.
The vote of the Senate was taken, and resulted--
yeas. 9, nays, 37, as follows:
Yeas—Messrs. Bayard, Buckaiew, Davis, Dixon,
Doolittle, Bendricke, McCreery, Patterson of Ten
nessee, and Vickers--9. -
Nays--Messrs. Cameron, Cattell, Chandler, Conk
ling, CollllCes, Corbett, Cragin, Drake, Ferry, Feseen
den. Fowler, Frelinghnyeen, Grimes, Harlan, How
ard, Rowe, Johnson. Morgan, Morrill of Maine, Mow ,
rill of Vermont. Norton , Nye, Patterson et New
Hampshire, Pomeroy, Ramsey, Ross, Sherman,
Sprague, Stewart, Thayer, Tipton, Trumbull. Van
Winkle, Willey, Williams, Wilson, and Yates-37.
So the evidence was overruled.
Mr. fiVAIiTB then said, this ,'evidence having been
excluded, we have no other questions to ask the wit
tees.
Mr. BUTLER said they did not wish to cross-exam
ine him.
Mr. EVAIITS then submitted that the counsel had
reached a point where the Senate might conveni
ently adjour n , as they would have no other witness
to-day.
Mr. Bierezn opposed the adjournment, and asked
that the counsel for the President be tailed upon to go
on with their case.
Far be it from him not to desire to have his friend
the Attorney-General here but public interests were
greater than the interests of any individual. The
hundred honeand men had laid down their lives 'in
the war, and were they now to Stop for the sickness
of one mate He had in his hand testimony of what
was going on this day and this hour in the South.
Mr. CURTIS (iocniarly)—We object to the intro
duction of that testimony.
Mr. Keane's, in the same temper, challenged its
relevancy.
Mr. Bterezio said that its relevancy was this, that
76 bile they were waiting for the Attorney-General to
get well, a number of their fellow-citizens were
being murdeted in the' South, and there, was not a
man in the Senate Chamber who did not know Hutt
the mementjustice was done on this great criminal.
these murders would cease. eStamping of feet in the
generics and attempted manifestations of applause,
which were eupprersed.] That was the way things
Etuud here, and they were being asked by
every true man of the country why they sat
here idle. In Alabama, a Register in Bank
ruptcy was to-day driven from his duties, and his
heme, by the Ku Klux Klan (laughter), and the evi
deece of that laid upon his table. Should they then
delay longer in this ease, knowing their reeponsibiii
tiee to their countrymen, to their consciences and to
their God. The true Union men of the country were
lasing murdered, and on the skirts of Congress their
blood was, if they remained 'here longer idle.
He also 'reminded the Senators that since the
et th day of February last ten million of e eold had
teen sold out of the Treasury at a sacrillce, and
512.(e.0 paid in commissions to a man , whom the
roeste had refused to continue in office. This gold
tt us sold at from one and a half to two per cent.
:UN% er than the market rates. More than that, he had
treat the same sources the fact that there had been
beeeka in the City of New York, since this trial had
h,L;tin, United States bonds to the amount of $27,055,-
10,,, and had been sold at from one.half to five-eights
and three-quarters above the market rates.
Some Senator remarked in an under tone that he
meant below the market rates.
Mr. BUTLIfit repeated that it was above the market
prices. He knew what he said, and he never was mis

those who stood by the country. that perhaps stir

with that coolness .with which judicial procectlinas
should be chsrecterized, to address the Senate on
this subject. He could say nothing of the daily and
hourly threats made against the managers, and against
every great officer of the Senate; he would say nothing
of that, as they were all safe; there was an old Scotch
proverb in their favor , "a, threatened dog lives:the
longest:" be had not the slightest fear on that ace
coact, and these threats of these unseemly libels on
