NEW Pll l lll.l CATION&
TAINT , IN IT.SLY
Mons. Henri Tactic, the hardest, keenest and
saost scintillant of modern critics, made in (we
Mph) lii6s a journey into Italy, 'from which
country the letters now republitted and trans
. laced" were sent hot and hot to a Paris journal.
IL Tempe is the finished, last result of the French
system of analysis; in a sense more absolute
than has ever been fulfilled until lately—ln, a
sense that would have shown the lamentably
broad generalizations of poor logo to be
quite unworthy his own boast—he 18
"nothing If not critical." That• brave
ensian was well enough in his way, and in Inn—
day; he exhibits the intellectual irritability of a
spirit, naturally keen, but lacking . in educated
breadthi'and even a little warped by an ethno
logical bias of a totally, unscientific character;
but if Henri Tempe bad stood in lago's place on
that sunny quay at Cyprus, and had undertaken
tlie world-famous philippic 'on woman, we
should have a delineation that would seem the
abstract and brief chronicle of the sex; we should
hive ber feminine intuition celebrated, and at the
same time made to seem something singularly ,
ignoble; we should have her vanity caressed
and epigrammatized: her weakness adored;
and, notably, her virtues placed in the
most seductive light, and made to p , o-.
(Ince the impression of vices. That ie the
way in which Taine would have managed a phil
ippic. But the philippic hardly belongs to criti
cism proper; the temper of invective can only be
led by a one-sided attention to a single set of
characteristics, the vicious ones. To the accom
plished critical faculty vice does not exist; vice is
part of the type. Criticism is Brahma; she is the
doubter and the doubt, and one to her are shame
and fame. The repose of her senses may be dis
turbed by no passion, no predilection, no gene
rous heartburn for the wrong, no "rich anger'
like that of Keats' mistress in the moment when,
at his most antipodal distance from the mood
critical, he "imprisons her soft hand, and lets her
rave." Here is a picture of the critic, by a mod
ern author of excellence, arid it happens to have
been intended as a picture of M. Taine. eludes

object; he carries himself over to the autho r

ad facium) ; he thus draws A conclusion which

as it were pressed, serried, moving by series, by
ranks and enfilades,by dense and repeated sallies,
by phrases, and, I was going to say, by cross
hatchings deep, short, well bitten in and re-bitten,
has caused some old-school critic to say of it that
it was like hearing the hard, thick hail falling and
skipping over a roof. This style produces on
the mind, upon the whole, a fixed, inevitable itn
pet,;;,:ril pvhich strikes sometimes into nerve 111
itself."
Witb This description, which blends in one
liVely image both the ideal critic and the indi
vidual one whose work we have to review, we
may withdraw from our self-imposed delineation
of the critical faculty in the abstract. But it
seemed absolutely necessary in some degree to
prepare the reader's mind for the manner of in
telligence he will meet with in these pages. The
critical faculty then, as demanded by the advance
of our age and as cultivated by those who are
foremost in the vocation, is a dedication of the
inmost sympathy to the 'object of the hour's ex
amination; the perfect critic has no tenger an
individuality, a conscience; ho lies chameleon
like upon his subject, feedbag upon the air that
exhales from its vitals, and gradually taking on its
color; in this terrible union there is no self-hono r
left, no opinion, no choice; what more pathetic
gift can a man make to his public than when he
parts with his centre, his line of gravity? What
can a man betome that is so shocking as becom
ing a mirror, whose only face is the face of every
man it meets? But such is the perfect critic.
With Machiavelli he is a politician, with Fra An
gelico he is a mystic, with Borgia he is a villain,
with Savonarola he is a reformer. To hear him
describe the pageantry of the Italian renaissance,
you would think M. Tairie had never heard of a
civilization more modern than the sixteenth cen
tury:
."A man of the people, accustomed to corporeal
exercise, is caught through his eves. What he
desires to see is not a noble intellect, but a hand
somely dressed muscular figure erect in a saddle;
and when instead of one there are hundreds,
when embroidery. gold lace, feathers, silks and
brocade glitter iu broad sunlight, amidst rattling
drums and trumpets, when the triumph and
tumult of the festival penetrate to his senses
through every channel, and his whole being is
aroused with involuntary, sympathy, then, if a
wish still remains, it is to mount a horse himself,
and, in similar costume, form one of the gay
throng parading before the attendant multitude.
Through their proud nudity, valiant attitudes,
and grand flowing drapery, the painted
and gilded sculptures heightened the Pa
gan effect of those Pagan processions, and
communicated energy and joyousness to their
_living companions, who, to the clang of tram
pets and the acclamations of the crowd, dis
played themselves on the horses and cars
around them. That generous still, ( WWI was

place, that is to say, the same deep sentiment of
natural poetic joyousness, the same blooming
physical health and energy, the same air of eter

same religion of beauty. And when the spec

of splendid accoutrements, these rustling,flo wing
draperies, the bright glitter of sliver scarfs, the

proach of the final ear, with its pyramid of living
faces, and above these by a green laurel, a naked
infant personifying the new birth of the Golden.
Age, well might he believe that he saw for an
instant the noble lost antiquity reanimated, and
that after its fifteen-centuries winter the human
plant was to bloom again in its entirety."
In all that, what a perfect sympathy, what a
breeze of objective, out-of-door existence! The
narrator seems to have lived ail his days in the sun,
in the glitter of thoughtless street-sights. Are
you deeelied, do you fancy that it is the natural
habit of the writer: Turning two leaves, you
find him entering into the inmost soul of Michael
Angelo, with such a bitter intricacy of compre
hension as you would think could only have been
formed by a life-long recluse. It Is the little bio
graphical sketch with which he preludes his
notice of the Sixtlne frescoes.
•'There are four men in the world of art and of
literature exalted above all others, and to such a
degree as to seem to belong to another race,
namely, Dante, Shakespeare!, Beethoven, and
Michael Angelo. No proibund knowledge, no
full possession of all the resources of art, no
fertility of imagination, no originality of intel
lect, sufficed to secure them this•position, for
these y alt had: these, moreover, are of second
' ary importune,; that which elevated thorn to
their rank is their soul, the soul of a fallen deity,
who is lifted up in all his bulk for an ikresatible
eflPrt in the direction of a world disproportionate
to our owli, lOicr. , :r in the It avail and in the tem
pest. and who, as incapable:of being sated as of
sinking, devotes himself in his solitude to raising
before the eyes of wen eolosbi us ungovernable, as
vigorons, and as dolorously sublime as his own
insatiable and impotent desire.
• "Michael Angelo is thus a modern spirit,and it
is for this reason, perhaps. that we are Ethic, to
comprehend him without efforts Was he more
unfortunate than other then: Regarding things.

externally, it seems that he was not. How many
anteing life contemporary artists experienced
greater disappointments! . Suffering, however,
must be measured ihy inward emotion, and not
by outward circumstance, and If ever, a spirit ex
isted capable of transports; of horrors, and of in
dignation, it was his. He was sensitive to excess,
and therefore 'timid,' lonely, and ill at ease in
the petty concerns of society, and to such an ex
tent, for example, that he.never could bring him
self to entertain at a dinner. Those men whose
emotions shake them too much, maintain reserve
hi order not to render themselves a spectacle, and
• double on themselves for lack of space to act in.
From his youth up, society was .distaeteful to
him; he would so shut himself up in study and
silence as to be considered proud or insane.
~ L tater, at the acme of glory, he plunged still
deeper into it; he took solitary walks, was
served by one domestic, and passed entire weeks
on seattaildings, entirely delivered up to conver
sations lie held with himself' And this because
be could hold converse with no other mind. Mot
only were his sentiments too powerful. but again
they were too milted. From , his. earliest years
he cherished a passionate love tor all noble things,
and first for his art, to which he gave himself up
entirely, notwithstanding his father's brutality.

scalpel in hand, and with such extraordinary per
sistence that he became ill; and next, his self.
respect, which he maintained at the risk of his
life, facing imperious popes even to forcing them
to regard him as an equal, braving them 'more
than a King of France would have done.' He
held ordinary pleasures in contempt: 'although
rich, he lived as a poor man;' frugally, often
dining on a cilia of bread, and laboriously,
treating himself severely, slettping but little, and
often in Ina clothes. without luxury of tiny kind,
without household display, without care for
money, giving away swims and pictures to his
friends, /0,000 francs to his servant, .10,000 and
40,000 francs at once to his nephew, besides
countless other sums to the rest of his family.
And more than this; he lived like a monk, with
out wife or mistress. chaste in voluptuous court,
knowing but one love, and that austere and pla
tonic, and for one woman :13 proud and its noble
as himself. He felt in her beauty a revelation of
the divine essence; he beheld her enveloped
in her fleshly covering ascending radiant to the
bosom of God.' The rest of his life corresponds
with such sentiments: he took great de
light in the ,areasonings of learned profes
sors;' and also in the perusal of' the poets,
Petrarch, and especially Dante, whom ho almost
knew by heart. 'Would to heaven,' he one say
write, 'that I were such as he, even at the price
of such a fate! For his bitter exile and hie virtue
I would exchange the most fortunate lot in the
world.' * * * * * Finally, he goes so
far as to separate himself from himself, from that
art which was his monarch and his idol; 'paint
ing or statuary, let nothing now divert my soul
from that divine love which opens its arms from
the cross to receive us!' The lant'sigh of a great
soul in a degenerate age, and among an enslaved
people; for At self-renunciation is the last
refuge."
'cYlde/1 is the actual Taine,—the Paine whose
soul went out with the pageantry, or the Taine •
whose soul entered in with the solitary? Alas,
neither shows the soul of the true Taine, for his
business is not to have a soul, it is to be a critic,

a smile constantly blissful and serene. It is very
pleasing, and enables you to comprehend their
amatory characteristics. When they address a
woman this smile becomes more captivating and
tenderer; there is no French piquancy or petu
lance in it; they seem to be enraptured, to relish
with the keenest zest every word that falls from
her month, one by one, like so many drops of
honey, The light popular songs, the national
music, and the operas of Cimerosa express the
same sentiment.
"Amongst the lower classes every young girl
of fifteen has a lover; every young man of seven
teen has one linewise, the passion with both
being strong and enduring. Both intend mar
fiage, and wait as long as is requisite, which is
until the young swain can purchase the principal i
article of furniture—an immense square bed.

ternoon, and then goes off to promenade on the
Villa Reale."
In pure descriptive art, the style is almost above
criticism; we need do nothing but open our oars
and admire: absolute perfection, in defining the
impression of a landscape or a work of art, is
something which the critic drops behind hinens
an accomplishment too trilling to be noticed,
while his mind engages itself in grappling meta
physical refinements. If the landscape is grand
and simple, he sketches it in a few large lines; if
detailed, he fingers it with minutiae and prera-
Thaelitism, with the careless case of a good
pianist; but be generally describes with a singu
lar, misting manner, which could hardly have
existed before landscape' art became the proud_
nent mania of a century, and in which vein the
first description we recall is the painter flaydosns
account of the coronation of George IV. Here
are a few sentences front this finished penman's
sketch-book:

Such a description as this, like a felicitous
watercolor cartoon, exhibits not only the Ma
tures of a landscape, but its atmosphere--its
' "breath of life." But it is in delivering his int-

has the easiest and most assured success. HOW

from the bright paragraphsi of M. Taine gems as
rich and abundant as those with' which Aladdin

selves to a single master, we glad that the
comments on Raphael are so precisely to our
purpose; they are truly graphic, and seem to
reveal the very seal of the young Urbinate; but
we select, them partly from another motive, and
that is to show how courageously the critical
traveler, when practising the style epistolary,
will correct himself, say and unsay—give first a,
Impression and then another that cancels it, anx
ious only to be honest and to put his correspon
dent in possession of that " conclusion as it
wells from the fountain-head," which was spoken
of in our first-quoted . allusion to M. Thine. This
hearty frankneSe is rare now-a-days, when every
author trims and barbers his arguments before he
will let the public see theih; but Henri Thine has
no weaknesses to conceal, and is not afraid to
strip himself and let ne watch his intellectual
muscles awork.' At the first blush, in the pre
sence of the Raphacis of the Vatican, their bas
relief paucity, their cold-blooded .method strikes
him, and strikes him disagreeably; "fourteen
people kneeling on the stairs, that is Raphael's
idea of a crowd!" and of the Massacre of the In
nocents-he declares :
"Not one of these innocents runs any danger.
The large jolly fellow at the left who displays his
pectoral muscles, the other in the middle who
shows the trough down his spine, are never going
to kill the piccaninnies in their fists. My good
creature, you are In high condition, and you
know what to do with your muscles; but you
don't know your liminess. Forany King Herod,
what wretched executioners you make! As for
the mothers, they do not love their children, they
are taking their leaVea with - tranquility; if they
cry, it is moderately; they would have too much
fear of spoiling the harmony of their attitudes. I
found the same thing at Hampton Court in the
farmers Cartoons: the Apostles who strike down
Ananias with their lightnings advance to the
ledge of the platform like an opera chorus in the
fifth act."
But directly afterwards, in a revusion of which
he is not the least ashamed, he throws consist
ency to the winds, and gives us the other side of
the genius Raphaelesque:
"His Venus receiving the vase is a virgin of the
primitive' eras, of inexpressible innocence and
gentleness, and her baby head which has not yet
had a thought, planted on her herculean trunk,
produces an emotion of such a character that the
fancy is involuntarly carried back to the very
origin of the human family, when races athletic
and unthinking, with their short swords and
their stout dogs that brought down the lion,
decended from their mountains to colonize the
universe. The very hand of Raphael is seen in
his Galatea: you see it in her grace and sweetness,
m the gesture of the little cupid who spreads his
limbs so harmoniously, in the original Inven
"-eneqs through Out the marine gods and goddes
t. • ,
The pug-nosed, bearded triton who superbly
enlaces, and fetters, and monopolizes the
nymph in his nervous arms has all the spring
and suppleness of an animal god Who inhales
full-bosomed contentment and power out of the
salt sea-air. The painter is not carried away by
his subject. he reposes sober and temperate, he
stops short of the extremes of movement
alit expression, he purities types and
arranges attitudes. This natural taste for
rhythm, these affectionate instincts which
make him paint, Mozart-like, the
goodness of nature, this delicacy of soul and of
organs which leads Lim to seek everywhere noble
and calm beings, whatever is happy, generous,
and worthy of tenderness,—and then that unique
fortune of having met with art at the point which
separated achievement from the age of prepara
tion and from the. age of decline, that unex
ampled privilege of n double training, which,
after having shown him the Christian innocence
and purity, gave him to 'feel the force and joy of
pacanism, all these eirettf . 'istances were necessary
to lift him up to his pinnacle."
Thus, with a touch a shade and a touch of
light, the clever critic finishes his portrait, and
may feel as Wortli;worth felt of his "Rob-Roy"
that the subject is disposed of, and . that other
workmen may as weltleave it alone henceforward.
That this style of criticism is cold at heart, that
the mere intellect, with all Its address, must
freeze what it embraces, we do not mean to deny.
One sometimes sighs amid all this ease and finish
for the bungling enthusiasm of an English de
scription, or the vaporous mysticism of a Ger
man one. But for the purposes of an accom
plished Italian guide, for the' function of teaching
the modern,cultivated gentleman out of the dram
igrn-oom what eyes he ought to look out of, we
have found no itinerary half so'apt, so frank, so
companionable as this of M. Henri Taine.
Of the form in which the work is presented to
the Anurican public, we wish we could avoid
saying anything, The translation is constantly
and consistently awkward. Mr. Durand seems
not to know that be is dealing with a master of
style, whose epithets are chosen as an accom
pliAud modiste chooses her trimmings, and for
whom a misapplication is barbarity. It is pitiful
to tee the weld-artist's little triumphs and felici
ties undone and unperceived. perpetual chill,
an infallible gravitation to bathos, emanates
from the cold steel with which John Durand
shepherds his unwilling ranks of captives.
The extracts we have made we were com
pelled ourselves to translate, hastily and crudely
it is true, but we hope with an eye to
the intention of the author. On the very
first page, the comparison of the Provencal
plain to a gronde (Pun 974; de lin (we have,
rather faultily, called it a "web of the gray of
flax') is given as a "striped uniform car; et;' ,

THE IM PEACH ME NT , TRIAL:
CLOSE OF SATURDAY'S PROCERDINGSI
Mr. Mossy:gen resit med his argument, commencing
by reminding the court ot the poilits belied been call
lug its attention to - bolero the merle. Ile 'expressed
his astonishment at Mr liontwelert summing up of the
debate of 1759, and declared, with all respect to the
honorable manager, that the statement was notauther
ized br: anything that occurred >ln: that debate. The
only quest ion that wee ditcureed 'anti settled in that
debate, was whether the power of removal was lodged
in the President alone, or lodged in the President and
Senate, and it was deeided that the, power was in the
President alone. The phraseology of the bills was
changed so that all appearance of a grant of the oower
from the Legislature might be avoided, and that
Congress might appear as simply ricogniz
ing the fact that the power was vette?!
by the Constitution in the, President.
De had stated accurately the substance of
the debate, and challenged all contradiction. What
had followed? That congress had passed three bills
establishing three executive departments, and in the
language of Chief Justice Marshall, It had, in order
to avoid legislative instabliity on that question,
framed those bills 'so that thy ahoald not take tae
form of a grant from the Legislature, but should ap
pear as a constitutional interpretation. These laws
were in force to this day; they were professedly an in
terpretation of the Constitution; were so declared by
the Supreme Court; were so declared and treated by
the Congress which passed them, and were so regarded
by every subsequent Congreee down to the Thirty
ninth Coiwf,rere.
De would pass on for nine years, and come down to
1798. Another executive department was then
formed, called the Navy Department, and in the law
creating it the power of removal was recognized in the
phraseology, "In care of vacancy by removal or other
wise." The words were not "removal by the Prod
dent;" the idea being conveyed that it was a power
lodged by the Constitution in the President. Be
passed on for twenty years—to the creation of the
Posteffice Department, the law creating which con
tained this provirion: "In case of the resigna
tion or removal from office of the Postmaster.
General." It did not say by whom the removal
was to be made, but it adopted the preceding
laws in reference to which it was distinCtly under
stood that they were interpretations of the Conetita
Don acknowledging that* the power of removal was
lodged In the President, and therefore not necessary
to be conferred by express grant. Then he came to
the act of March, 1649, creating the Interior Depart
ment, and providing that tbe Secretary of the Interior
was to hold his office* by the same tenure, and to re
ceive the same salary as the secretaries of the other
departments. Under that law the Secretary of the
Interior was removable at pleasure. Then he came
to the law establishing the seventh department, that
of the Attorney-General. In the law establishing
that office there was not one word said on the subject
of removal or vacancy, but the Attorney. General had
taken his commission during the pleasure of the
President for the time being, and had been sub
ject to removal by the President rust as any other of
the heads of departments.
Be had thus gone through the legislation establish.
ing the Executive departments ranging from 1759 to
1549, a period of sixty years, and showing the princi
ple that the power of removal IV2ls recognized as being
lodged by the Constitution in the President. Bat
that was not all. Be might cite a large number of
laws on the subject of other officers, such as pestmas
!ere, Sc, and bearing out the same idea. Ile stated,
not from hie own examination, but from Information
on which he could rely, tbnt if all the laws of Congress
were collected from 1759 to 1567 which affirmed this
construction, they would average two or three to each
Congress.
The law of March, 181;1, came into work on the
concurrent chain of constitutional Interpretation, but
he would ask Senators whether human reason might
not pause here and human judgment doubt On this
question. All the Presidents had Olivier' the Consti
tutionality had actetion it for eighty years; the Supreme
Court bad affirmed itt thirty eight Congresae-. had
concurred In it. All this was on the one aide of the
question, and on the other side there was the action
of one Congress. Might not, therefore, human
reason pause and human judgment doubt? Was it
criminal in the President to stand by that great mass
of precedent and to believe as thirty-eight Congresses
had believed, as all adminiatrattons had believed, and
as the Seprerae Court bad affirmed. that the power of
removal from office was vested by the Constitution in
the President! That was the question this Court was
to decide.
Did Senators 'believe that at the time Andrew John
son honestly thought that the Constitution lodged the
power of removal in the bands of the President?
What should be the effect of this long line of Inter
pretation by every department of the government?
What rule shonid be applied! Stability was as much
needed in regard to powers not expressed in the Con
stitution as in regard to those as are expressed. If
the construction of one of the President's powers was
to be fixed by interpretation and decision when was it
to be regarded as fixed? 7n flee hundred yearm? They
would all agree to that. In four hundred years? He
thought they would all agree to that. In two hun
dred years? Yee, in one hundred years. Yes ! Well
here was a construction and Interpretation existing
for seventy-eight )ears. If this government was ever
to have stability In ha institutions it must adopt and
adhere td the rule of State del-4a4. The Thirty-ninth
Congress alone had given a different interpretation
of the Constitution. 'De did not propose to
institute any comparison between that Con
gress and any preceding one. He wyiuld not
say that it was not just as able and iw-idst as good
condltioxi as any other to offer a correetopinion. but
he would say that Awns no better. This bronght him
to the question: whether the Senate was prepared' to
drive the President from his office, and convict him
of crime, because he had believed as every other Presi.
dent before him had believed, as the Supreme Court
had believed. and as the Thirty-eighth Congress had
believed? Was Mr. Johnson to lie down with his
baud upon his mouth, and his mouth in the dust, be
fore Congress; or was he to deed up as the Chief
Magistrate of the nation, in the great contest. to de
fend the integrity of his department? It was for the
President to execute the laws, to execute even doubt
ful laws; bat when he was called upon to execute a
law against which all precedents were arrayed,
against which all the voices of the past were sounding
in his ears, was be not justified in seeking to get
a judicial interpretation of the question, and was the
Senate to undertake to brand him with criminality
because he proposed to go to the Supreme Court and
have a decision on the question? He (counsel) should
have referred also to the President's conduct on the
subject in reference to his consulting those who are
by law his advisers ae conesellers. The Senate had
abut out many of these facts and would not hear the
evidence upon them. Suppose it had been brought to
the attention of Senators that on a serious and im
portant question like this the President had disre
garded the advice of his Cabinet, bad turned his back
upon hie counsellors, had held ro consultation with
them, but had in wilfulness and disregard of their
wishes acted in the manner he had done
The managers would probably have put that in ev
idence against him, bet yet the fact that he could
prove just the contrary was excluded from testimony.
What was Mr. Johnson's condition? Ile had Cabi
net officers who were unfriendly to him personally
and politically. 'All confidential relations between
them had been broken off. That 'officer himself had
told the Senate in a letter dated as lately as the 4th of
February, IS6S, that ho had had no eorrespondence
with the President since the 12th of August last, and
had received no orders from him. It thus appears
that that Cabinet officer was merely a new executive
repudiating the President, having no official commu
nication with him, and proposing to have none, and
proposing to carry on his department withontaccog
nixing even the Preslden;'s name.
This was the condition of President Johnson when
he communicated with General Sherman, and coun
sel would read to the Senate what General Sherman's
testimony on that point was. . General Sherman said:
"I intend to be very precise and very short hat It ap
peared to me necessary to state :what I began to
state, that the President told me that the relations
betweet him and Mr. Stanton, and between Mr- Stan
ton and other members of the Cabinet wen: , such that
he could not execute the efficeovnich he ffiled,as Presi
dent of the United States, without making provision
ad interim for that office, and that he had the right
underithe law. Reclaimed to have the right and his
purpooe was. to have the office administered in the
interest of the army and the country, and he offered
lee the office in that view. Re did not state to me
then that it was his purppso • to bring it to the courts
directly, but for the purpose of having the office ad
ministeredproperly in the interest 'bf the army and
the whole country."
That was the condition of things with a Cabinet
officer who refused all intercourse. Counsel did not
intend to go into any inquiry as to who was right or
wrong; he merely stated the naked fact. This Cabi
net officer had refused all intercourse and was propos
ing to carry on his department without communicat
ing with the President, and as a sort of secondary
executive. In that condition;: of things, was it not
the duty of the Chief Magistrate to make a change?
There was not a Senator before him who would not
have made the change. It was impossible to adinin
later the department while there were wranglings and
controversies and want of confidence between the
head of the department and the President. In that
necessity it was that Mr. Johnson had moved to pro
cure a change in the department. If he had sued
out a writ of quo warrant° as the manager suggested,
he would have been laughed at and ridiculed, be
cause a determination of it cnuld not have been
reached before a. year, and because it was re
ported at the time that he would be impeached
and removed in ten twenty, or thirty days. But Mr.
Wanton had brought a suit against General Thomas,
and had had him arrested. There was the President's
opportunity; by reason of that he could reach a nice
decision instantly, The President snatched at it, but;
it was anxiously snatched away from him. The
managers bad talked of force—where was the force ?
Where was there ode Biagio, hitter, personal inter
view in all that transaction ?. There was not a quar
relsome word with anybody. The only force exhi
bited was in the cordial embrace between General
Thomas and Mr. Stanton, with the ono putting his
arm around' the other and running his lingers affec
tionately through his silver leeks. That was the
"force, intimidatlon, and throat" that was used, and
that was about ail there wits of it. Counsel for the
President bad offered to bring hero the members of
the Cabinet to testify as to what their advice was to
the President on the subject. They had consulted on
that very question, but yet the Senate would not hear
them, it shut their mouths and remanded the.defense
to the man from Delaware. . .
Ihe Senate was asked to dad the employment or
the intimation to employ force from the utterances of
that man from Delaware, and: froth the conversation'
ormt midnight masquerades of a man dressed In a
; little brief authority, and Yet' the Senate would not
-hear the deliberations of the Cabinet, the censulta
time; which were held on that very (Ideation when tar
aransaction Was warns in the minds of the' Pardee;
there wee no rescuing this trial from the manifest
imperfection of the testimony on teat point. Now
what was the President's course? Why did he give
this letter of authority to LorenZe Thomas? Lie had
to do it. There was no other way he could adopt by
which 1w could put the case in a cOndition to test the
law. If the President had nominated to the Senate
the office would have remained in the exact condition
It was without notninailon, and therefore it was nines.
eary by an arrangement of this kind to get into the
(Alice one who could represent the government .on
that queetion. ~
The President's intention in all the movement was
simply to get rid of that defiant. unfriendly Secretary.
Couneel used this expression without conveying any
personal eentiment. What had the President done
in the Bret place? He bad' selected General Grant, a
man whom the country delighted to honor—in whom
it had the utmost confidence, and for whom probably
time honorable manager, Mr. Butler, intended to
express OBI' greater confidence. The President had
selected finch a man as that, and yet this
was to be regarded as a mischievous transaction.
What next did the President do? The very next
step that the President tool; waa not to get a dan
geroueeman, not to get a man in whom the Senate
had nd' confidence, but the next man to whom he
offered the place was General Sherman—would any.
one charge wickedness upon that high officer ? But
General Sherman would hot take the office. To
whom old he next offer it ? To Major-General George
B. Thomas. It seemed that the President had picked
out the three men of ail others in the nation who
could command the respect and contidence of the
nation in reference to the purpose he had in view in
the matter. You cannot make creme out of atie,Sena
tore. The President had one purpose in view, and
that was to change the head of the War Department,
and it would have delighted him to
make the chi nits, and put there permanently any com
petent man, and thus to get rid of the condition of his
Cabinet. What them gentlemen? He executed this
law in other respects. He changed the forms of law,
and. Senators. it is one of the strongest facts in this
case. He did not take up this law aLd tear It to pieces;
he did not tske this law and trample It under foot;
and in all other respects he tried to obey it without
the surrender of his own convictions. It is said that
in the suspension of Mr. Stanton he acted under the
law. I cannot adjust it to your law; and Instead of
seizing upon that as a subject of censure, I tell you it
was an overture from the President to get out of this
difficulty and to conciliate you. Take that sus
pension—take the act. In the very letter of
the meesage of suspension he tells you my
Cabinet and Mr. Stanton, the most emphatic
of all, believe this law •is unconstitutional. Mr.
Stanton was the one that was selected to draw up
these objections. But the President tells you in that
net of suspension what his views were about the law.
He goes on and tells you Maher in that very message:
"We had this matter up in the Cabinet meeting, when
the Secretaries said it did not apply to him or any
other of Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet." All these opinions
were in hie mind. He communicated them in the
very message where you say ho surrendered himeelf to
the very terms of the civil office-bill, Ile did all that,
and it Is to his credit that he has not gone about
everywhere violating the law, instructing itB violation
or forbidding it to be exercised until it was a's
certained as to its constitutionality in some
way or another— Well, now, I Levu been
sitting here listening to the evidence presented
in this case for a long time, and reading inure or less
about it., and I have never been able to co:4e to the
conclusion that, when all these matters were placed
before the Senate. and understood, they could convict
the President of criminality for doing what was done.
Theme is no force—where Is it? Where is the threat?
Where is the intimidation? Nowhere. He tried to
get into the courts; that we know. Be did hie best to
get it there; tin - after a case by which he could have
;rot it there. Where is his criminality? Is he criminal
because he did not surrender the convictions of his
mind on the constitutionality, according to your in
terpretation of the act of leti7? Why, so was k3eneral
Washington criminal: so was Adams criminal. But
the precedent in the whole history of the government
is at his hack in the position which he has
taken. How are we going to try criminality upon this
single question of the constitutionality of the act of
1a.67, having the opinion of one Congress at its back,
the opinion of all the administrations, and Lae opin
ion of the Supreme Court, as far as it goes? Let us
go bank a moment to that brief examination which I
made of the right construction of the civil-office act.
I told you then that if Stanton were not included, the
first eight articles of this case entistantiallyiell, and
even if be were included, and we were advised as we
were, there could be no criminality in acting upon
a question of law under the advice of the Attorney-
General, who was officially designated for the
very purpose of giving tie that' Advice. Seithat from
that point of view suppose Stanton were under the
law, and we had no excuse for what we did, then
the question is, where in the condition of this ques
tion was the power of removal lodged; You may have
your opinion about the constitutionality, lit there is
another question which I present; it is this: It is a
question of construction. Will you condemn are
criminal a President who stood on the side where
every portion of the government had been up to that
time? I come now, gentlemen, to the next question
about the ad inter - inn appointment, and I bee, you to
observe: That if von shall ceme to the conclusion
that the President had the right to make an ad inherint
appointment, then there Is great shipwreck in his
case. It nearly all tumbles into rain. I beg you
again, when you come to'examine three articles, to
see how many of them are built up of ti d e two facts—
the removal of Stanton and the ad isd rim appoint
ment
of Thomas. Ho merle the ape( ntment, Sen
atoms, under the act of February 13, 1790: -
Mr. Groesbeck read the .law which authorizes the
Presider t, in case of ei vacancy in the milieu of the
Secretary of State and of War, to authorize a p.mrson
to perform the duties of such office until a successor
serif he appointed, and continued: You will observe
that all possible connitions of the department are ex
prefreed under the single word, -vacancy." It covers
the removal, the expiration of the term of office, res
ignation, ;absence, eleknees—every possible condi
tion of the department in which it would be news-.
eary ad triltrim to supply the place. That law was
passed on February 13, 1795. There has been another
act paseedpartially covering the same ground, under
the date of February 20, laine Now, does that act re
peal the actof February 13, MO? Allow me to draw
-, our attention ton few rules of interpretation of stet.
ides before I compare them:
First, the law does not favor repeals by implication.
Again, if statutes are to be construed together they
are to stand. Still another; a better statute, in order
to repeal a former one, must fully embrace the whole
subject matter. Still again, to etlect an entire repeal
of all of the provisions of the previous statute the
whole euhject matter must be covered. Let me illus
trate. Suppose, for illustration, there was a statute
extending trout myself to yonder door; then if another
statute were passed which would reach half way, it
would repeal eo much of the former statute as it
overlay, and leave the balance in force. What lies
beyond le the legislative will, and just as binding is
the eriginal statute.
Now we come to n comparison of these statutes.
The statute of February 20, 1863, provides for the
occasion of death. resignation. absence from the seat
of government, or sickness. There are two cases that
are not provided for by this statute, and they are cov
ered by the statute of 1795—removal and expiration
of term; so that we are advised by that simple state
ment that the reach of the statute of 1795 was beyond
tbat•of the statute of February, 1863, and so much of
it as lies beyond the latter statute is still in force.
With these few remises upon the repeal of amtutes
I come to the consider/41°nel the ad interim letter,
From the foundation of the government, as you have
been advised by my colleague (Mr. Curtis), and others,'
it has been the policy of the government to provide
for filling offices ad interim. They are not appoint
ments. There.ia nocommiesion under seal. • It is a
mere letter of appointment, and they are not consid
ered as filling the office.
When Mr. Upshur was killed, in 1844, an ad interim
appointment was made to supply the vacancy occa
sioned by that accident, and soon afterwards the Pres
ident nominated to the Senate Mr. Calhoun to fill the
office perinanently. That illustrates the condition of
an ad Interim in the office. It has been the policy of
the government from the beginning to thus supply
vacancies in the department from sickness, absence,
resignation, or any of those causes, and this occurs
both vain the Senate is in session and when It is in
recess, The law of 1863 makes no difference. It may
be at any time.
Now. Senators, I will dismiss this part of the sub
ject by calling your attention to ad interior appoint
ments that were made during the session, of heads
of departments. In the first place I give you Mr.
Nelson, who was appointed during the eession of the
State, Secretary of Senate. I give you General Scott,
who was appointed ad interim Secretary of War dur
ing the session of the Senate. I give you Mr. Moses
Kelley, who was appointed ad interim during the
session of the Senate, to the Department of the Inte
rior. I give you Mr. Holt, who was appointed ad
interim during the session of the Senate, Secretary of
War. But I intend to linger a little at the case of
Mr. Dolt, which deserves especial attention and con
elderation.
Mr. Groesbeck read from the message of President
Bach anan .of January 1, 1801, in reply to a resolution of
inquiry by the Senate in regard to the appointment of
Mr. bolt to succeed John B. Floyd, and continued :
There was a case where the Senate took the matter
under consideration and inquired of the President
what he had done, and by what authority he had done
it. Why did you do that? Why did you not report upon
it? A full inquiry was made by the Senate into that
case of this ad interim question, and Mr. Buchanan
replied that he had supplied the vacancy by , an ad
interim oppeintment under the law of 17:15. He com
municated that fact to the Senate. The Senate re
ceived that communication, and were satisfied that it
was ares adjudieata on his part. • •
The Senate, on that' occasion, investigated thor
oughly this identical question of ad interim appoint
ments during the session, and received Mr:
Buchanan's reply that he did it under the very law
under which we' acted, and the Senate did not con
sure that act, while they bring us forward as a . erinit
mil and. brand us with crime for ours. Yew :cannot
diserhainate between them. Both were ,done under
the same law, both done during the BeliSioll,
I shall glance now at the next article. .do net in T .
tend to linger upon such charges as, arc oentained.iu
it. It makes a great noise in the articles, but it Is Very
hard to gee through it. What is the proof to, stistairt
THE DAILY EVENING 13IILLETIN.-PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, APRIL 27, 186$.
Mrs article? The President had an interview
with General Emory, and in the course of: that inter- ,
view General Emory informed hirMof the p waste of
a certain law. They had a conversation abmt
it, and the President said, in the course of that con
versation, that the law was uticonstituttonal. Lie did
not say anything inereiand that is the'enormous Crime
committed under article nine. He said it was uncon
stitutional. What about that? Is it not in evidence
before you and uncontradicted that the President had
been informed that there were unusual military move
meets going on in the city the night before; and Sec
retary Welles called upon him to inform him of that
fact and the President said he would temaire abaut it.
tie sent a note to General Emory, and General Emory
waited upon him witit the information. ^That Is all.
Is that not an explanation? Does anybody contradict
it? No! The time. the occasion, everything in the
transaction adjusts itself to that explanation, and no
other. Here was a President whom you had subordi
nated to an inferior--I mean to the extent of requir
ing - him to send orders through an inferior—groping
in the dark as it were, belied upon by one of his
Cabinet to inquire about it.
I now come to article ten. I shall leave the elabor
ate discussion of this article to my colleague, hut I
wish to say just a few words about it. I refer you to
the provision of the Constitution bearing upon this
subject, which denies to Congress the power to deny
freedom of speech, Are there any limitations to this
provision? Does this privilege belong only to the
private citizen? Is it denied to olllcers of the govern
I:Lent? Cannot the Executive discuss the measures of
any department? May Congress set itself up as the
standard of good taste? Is it for Congress to prescribe
the rules of Presidential decorum? Will it not be
quite enough for Congress to preserve its own dignity?
Can it prescribe the forms of expression which may
he need, and punish by In peachment what Congress
cannot forbid inthe form of. a law? lint Ido nut pro
pose to discuss It. In Me sonic of the good people of
the country, who had been operated upon very ntuch
as the House of Representatives were in this instance,
took it into their heads to niake a sedition law. It
was very like article ten. I propose to read IL
Mr. Groesbeck read the law punishing libellous pub
lications or utterances against the President or Cou
rt-reels by fine and imprisonment, and proceeded:
This was the most offensive that has ever been
passed since the government was started. So obnox
ious was it that the people would not rest under it,
and they started, as it were, a hue and cry against
everybody who was concerned in it, and they devoted
a great many, for their connection with this law, to a
political death. But it was a great law compared
with article 10. So unpopular was it that since then
no law punishing libel from that day to this has been
passed. It has been reserved for the House of Rep
resentatives, through its managers, to renew this
(inestimable proposition; but I take it upon myself
to suggest that before we arc condemned in a court
of impeachment, we shall have some law upon the
subject.
Mr. Groesbeck then read a burlesque law, with a
number of preambles, which created considerable
laughter, reciting the duty of the President to oh
eerve official decorum and to avoid the use of unin
telligible phrases such as calling Congress "a body.
banging on the verge of the government," and re
cce:plying the right of Congress, especially the Howse
of Representatives, to lay down rules of 'decorum to
be observed, punishing the President by fine and im
prisonment for any breach of such decorum. "Teat,"
be said, ' article ten.' [Laughter.]
He then took up article eleven, saying there was no
testimony to support it, except the telegram between
Governor Parsons, of Alabama and the President,
dated on the 15th day of January preceding the March
in which the law was passed. They had heard the
magnificent oration of one of the managers about it,
sounding, and sonorous. red sensational, but would
they uphold that article upon such proof as thee: He
had gone as far as he need go. since he was to be foie
lowed by a gentleman who would take it up, step by
step, article by article.
lecolting back over the case, he was glad to he able
to say there were no political questions involved to It.
Toe questions were, where is the power of removal
iodeael by the Constitution 2 Is that covered by the
:il tenure act Could the President mace an ad
';,'ester appointment: Did he do anything inis
chievous'in his interview with General Emory And
then the matter of freedom of speech which he appre
hended nobody would carry on his back as a heavy
load for the remainder of his life, stripped of ail
verbiage. That was the case upon which their judg•
ment was asked. It shocked him to think it possible
that the President cekld be dragged from his office on
such questions as whether he could make an ad in-
;.rim appointment fora single day. Was this smat
ter justifying the disturbing the quiet of the people,
shaking their confidence in their President, and driv
ing him from office? How meagre, he said, how
miserable Is this case—an ad int:rri/n appointment
for a single day, an attempt to remove Edwin M.
Stanton, who stood defiantly and poisoned all the
channels of intercourse with the President. Ido not
speak this in censure of Mr. Stanton, but such is the
fact. •
We have been referred to many precedents in the
;met history of England, but those precedents should
;)ss t , . yon, Senators, not matters for imitation, but
the beacon lights to warn you from the dangerous
rocks on which they stand. What is to be the j tide
meet. Senators' Removal from office and perpetual
disqualification? If the President has done anytalng
ter which he should he removed from office, he should
also be dleenalified from holding office hereafter.
what is his crimes He tried to pluck a thorn oat of
his heart, for it had become a thorn there, and the
Senate bad fastened it there. What more had he
done? He had made an ad int, , rbn appointment, to
last for a einele day, which you could have tenni
rated whenever yon saw fit. Yon had only
to take the nomination which he sent to
she Senate. and which was a good no
mination; and the ad fete/int would have vanished
the smoke. The thing was in your hands. Tou hail
ouly to act on the nomination, and the matter was
settled. That was no crime. I can pointyou to cases
that have occurred, and I point especially to that case
of Floyd's, where the Senate, in its legislative cepa
:it.y, weighed the question, decided noon it, heard the
report of the President, and received it as satisfactory.
~ For the purpose of this trial, that is res ad jadicata.
`What else did the President do? He talked with an
ctlicer about the law. That is the Emory article. What
Flee did he do? He made intemperate speeches.
When reviled, he should not have reviled again. When
smitten on the one cheek he should have turned the
ether, then he would have escaped impeachment;
- but, - said the gentleman who addressed you the day
refore yesterday (Mr. Bontwell), "he was eager for pact
ecatiou, and to restore the South." I deny it in the
, ease in which the gentleman presented it as being
seminal. Here too the President followed reason,
tnd trod the path on which' were the footprints.of
Lincoln, sad which was lighted by the radiance 'of
that divine utterance of Lincoln's, "Charity towards
all, malice towards none." He was eager for pacifica
tion. He knew that the war was ended; the drums
were all silent: the arsenals were all shut; the noise
il the cannon had died, and the army had disbanded.
Not a single enemy confronted us in the field, and
to was eager for pacification. The hand of recon
ciliation was stretched out to him, and he took
it. Was this kindness--this forglveness--a crimes
leindeces A crime! Kindness its omnipotent for
2 cod ; more powerful than manpowder or can
non. Kindness is statesmanship. Kindness Is the
!sigh statesmanship of heaven itself. The thunder of
Sinai did but terrif y and dietract. It is the kindness of
Calvary that subdues and pacifies. What shall I say
of that man? He has only walked in the path and by
the Heist of the Constitution. The mariner, tempest
tossed on the seas, ie not more sure to tarn to the
,tars for guidance 'than this man, in the trials of
public life, to look to the star of the Constitution;
Ile does lurk to the Constitution; it has been the
lady of hie life. He is not learned or scholarly like
many of you. Be is not a man of many ideas, or of
much speculation BC is a man of Intelligence.
Ile is a patriot second to iso one of you in the mea
eure of hie patriotism. He may be full of errors. I
will not canvass how he views his love to his country,
but I believe he would die for it if need be. Hie cour
aee and his patriotism are not without illustration.
My colleague referred, the other day, to the scone
which occurred in this chamber when he alone, of all
Ihe Senators from his section, remained, and even
whets his own State bad seceded. That was a trial to
which many of you, by reason of your locality and
your lifelong associations, know nothing. How his
voice rang out in this hall on that occasion, in the
hour of alarm and in denunciation of-the rebellion!
But he did not remain here. This was a pleasant
end easy position. He chose a more difficult and ar
duous and perilous service. That was a trial of his
courage and patriotism of which some of you who
now sit in judgment upon him know nothing.
I have thought that those who dwell at the North nt
a safe distance from the collision of war, know but
little of its actual trying dangers. We who lived upon
the border know it. Our homes were always sur
rounded with red flame; and it sometimes came 'so
near that we felt the heat on the outstretched hands.
Mr. Johnson went Into the very borders of the war,
and there he served his country long and well. Which
of you has done mote? Not one. There is one among
you whose services, as 1 well }mow, cannot be over
estimated, stud I withdraw al: comparison; but it is
enough to say that hie services were greatly
needed, and it seems bard, it seems cruel that
ho ahead •be struck here upon these miserable
technicalities, or that anybody who has served
his country and bore himself well stud
bravely, • should be ' treated as a
criminal, and condemned upon these miserable
charges. Even if he bad committed a crime ;leaflet
the laws, his services to the country entitle him to
some consideration. But he has-precedent for every
thing he has done.. Excellent precedents ! The
voices of the great dead come to us from their graves
sanctioning his course. All our past history approves
it. Can you ;single out this man now in this condi
tion of things, and brand him before the country:
Will you put your pram( upon him because be made
an ad i,?(eriin appointment and attempted to remove-
Edwin . ...7.. Stanton? I can at a single glance, Senators?,
fix tnyeye or many of . you who Would not endure the
position the President occupied. You do not think
it right yourselves. Yost framed this very civil
tenure act,tu give every President his own cabinet,
and then the President's whole camels that he wants

Mr. Groesbeck was throughout the whole argument,
but particularly at the close, listened to with marked
attention by the Senate, end with straining' eagernees
by the spectators. It was to ho regretted that; on ac-
count of indisposition, he could not mako himself
beard distinctly. The reporters for the Associated
Press, anxious as they were to give a lrorbatim report
pf the speech were unable to do so from the difllculty
of bearing - it in the gallery, and had, therefore, to put
much of it in the third person, and in other parts to
construct the sentencea out of the portions which they
did happen to bear distinctly.
