JOHNSON'S DEFENDERS.
Here and there is to be found a newspaper,
nominally Republican in politics and very
respectable in its literary position, laboriously
engaged in the hopeless task of constructing
apologies for the acquittal of Andrew John
son by the votes of renegade Republican
senators. Two of these, by virtue of their
prominence, deserve notice.
The Cincinnati Conuncreial is, in many
respects, one of the ablest papers of the
West, and in its literary aspect probably the
very best. On political and national ques
lions, however,it Is fond of assuming a mildly
conservative tone, and in its discus
sion
of the present • situation at
Washington, this mildness reaches the I
point frequently exprissed by the phrase
"milk and water." It assumes that, because
Chase, Trumbull and Fessenden are dis
tinguished lawyers, their desertion of the
Republican party in this great national crisis
must not be called treachery. This the
main idea of an elaborate leader in Tuesday's
paper, and it is an idea based upon an utter
ly false, though very common sentiment.
For it is not to be supposed that these men
are any more accomplished lawyers now
than they were a few weeks ago, when those
of them who are Senators stood openly
committed to the law which they now seek
to dishonor and break down. When these
:'distinguished lawyers" are found employing
their transcendent talents upon both sides of
a case, it brings them down to the same level
with ordinary mortals, and leaves them to be
judged by the same rule, and so the people ;
will judge them.
That is a very common and a very bad I
sentiment which gives names to crimes, not '
according to the deed done but ac - I
cording to the rank and social posi
tion of the doer. There is a great need
for a more general calling of things by their
right names, and in the case now before the
country, if Mr. Chase is the secret leader of !
this dark plot, as is daily growing more ap
parent, then Mr. Chase must accept the same
title that would belong to him if he did the
same thing as a corrupt 'member of a State
Legislature, or of some rotten municipal
"ring." Messrs. Fessenden and Trumbull
cannot offset perjury and treachery by an ap
peal to their wonderful legal abilities.
The plea Will be scouted by all
honest men. "He that cloeth righteous-
ness is righteous," and not he whose learning
and public eminence ought to make him
righteous. Fessenden or Trumbull or Chase
must each "go to his own place," just as
Grimes or Fowler or Henderson, or any
other traitor to sworn duty and principle.
The New York Evening Post is more
open in its opposition to the conviction of
Andrew Johnson. It is terribly unhappy be
cause the thunders of public opinion have
been let loose upon the heads of the men
who have proved faithless in the •Senate. It
is sorely exercised because. from al
parts of the country the voice of the
people demands that 'these men shal
stand by their own record and the principles
which they were sent to Washington to re
present. It calls this "coercing a court," and
professes to think that there will be no moral
weight in a verdict of conviction under these
circumstances. It advises the "Court," by
which it means the Senate, to acquit John
son, with a censure for his conduct, which
even the Post thinks has been "ill-advised
and disgraceful," quite forgetting that the
"Court" has no authority under the Consti
tution to do anything of the sort.
The attitude of the Evening Post is not a
"milk and water" one. It is one of down
right hostility to the Republican party, and
of complicity with Andrew Johnson. Its
argument about the moral weight ,of a con
viction amounts to nothing. For what
"moral weight" would there be in an ac
quittal of Andrew Johnson, secured by the
,success of a corrupt plot, concocted by men
'who have gone in'and out among their col
(leagues as friends while they were covenant
ing with their enemies for such considerations
as were most tempting to their respective
minds, to betray the country and its great
cause into the hands of Andrew Johnson?
These apologists for political treachery fail
to grasp the real tone and sentiment of the
people as completely as the recreant Sena
tors themselves have done. They forgot that
this as the case of the people against
an f usurping President and that
, the people w ill assuredly judge
it for themselves. Nay, they hive already
judged:it, and the storm of indignation that
haa already muttered its first thunders is only
the faint,and distant fore-runner of the tem
pest that will sweep these men into a swift
destruction, If they have the hardihood to
consummate the crime which they have
plotted.
A NEW PARTY.
Among the remarkable announcements
Hof the last day or two is one telegraphed on
from INtu3hington that the traitor Senators
left the Senate after its adjournment on Mon
day, and . went in a body to dine with Mr.
Chase, there to lay the foundation of a new
party of which Mr. Chase was to be the
leader and the prospective President of the
country.
Whether this statement is true we do not
know, and care very little. It is sufficient
that the conduct of all the parties implicated,
Messrs. Chase, Pessenden, Trumbull, Hen:
demon, Grimes, &c., has been such as to ren
der it possibia for such stories to gain belief.
Xut the point that iu nost striking in the
whole matter ' and which induees us to refer
to it here. is the utteoinfathation of the par
ties concerned. These men, after haying
appeared, dressed in a little brief authority for
a certain time beford the publie,come to think
that they are great powers in the State, fitted
both to sway public opinion and to make it.
In this lies the conspicuous absurdity of their
present conduct. They are regarded by the
public as simply agente; agents trusted in
deed with power to act in matters of the most
momentous importance, but still strictly
as agents, and as such held responsible, step
by step, for their conduct.
As to the idea of these men swaying
opinion,fonnding new parties and controlling
ideas, they might just as well attempt to
control the wind, and order it to blow North
or South. The governing political element
in this country is now the Republican party.
That party has a definite policy, and when
those persons whom that party has placed in
power see fit to sell themselves for place or
still worse for money, the party that elected
them will cast them out with scorn and
derision.. It is absolutely ludicrous to see
these men fanCying that they can divide or
reorganize a great party: one would suppose
that the futile attempts of such other rene
gades as Johnson,Doolittle,Dixon,and Cowan
would have sufficiently indicated the fate
that awaits new apostates.
In fact, the past few years have , greatly
altered the tendency of our people. For
merly names had great influence, and when
Clay or Webster threw themselves into a line
of policy, they carried great numbers with
them. This sort of thing has passed away,
fortunately, and public men are no longer or
acles, but agents. We know what we want;
we do not send men to Washington to find
out what is to be done ; we know that at
least as well as they, and we send them there
to do it. And when they fail to do the duty
for which they are sent, or do it badly, we
cast them aside without a second thought,
just aS'ive learned to cast aside inefficient gen
erals in the war. Who is Mr. Chase ? A
fair lawyer,who, as a statesman, as Secretary
of the Treasury, and as Chief Justice has
evinced decided talents, but not greater than
those of hundreds of other leading Republi
cans. Who is Mr. Trumbull? A good speaker
and an able lawyer (and of such
we have in the country rather too many than
too few), but who,if he were to resign to-mor
row,would never once be missed to public af
fairs. So Fessenden lost his usefulness when
he gave himself up to bark at the heels of
another Senator with whom he had quar
relled. And are these men going to arrest
public opinion and speak in the name of the
United States ? This is but one step from the
tailors of Tooley street and th c cir "We, the
people of England 1"
In one respect the people of this country
have been utterly, thoroughly wrong. They
have shown a most culpable leniency to
wards public offenders. The man who de
serts the constituents who elected him in
their hour of extreme, need is not adequately
punished with loss of political influence.
Contempt should follow him into private
life, and he should be shunned personally as
one who has violated the most sacred of
pledges, who has betrayed those who trusted
him and who bad elevated him to, station and
power. For such a man to retire into pri
vate life with the price of his infamy,and yet
1 to be able to retain even a portion of his per
sonal influence and position, is wholly wrong.
In having in the past permitted such things,
even to the extent td which they have been
permitted, the American people have done a
wrong from which they now suffer; for did
these Senators now know to a certainty that
a treachery such as is now threatened would
cause them to be scorned and shunned in
private life, there is not one who would dare
to complete that treason.
DIRTY S "BEETS AND THEIR CON.
SEQUENCES.
New York is paying the • penalty of an
almost utter disregard for the rules of clean
liness and decency. The Times of that
city, in a disquisition upon the subject of
dirty streets, says that in the First Ward,
where the population is most dense, a
stranger would infer that the contractor was
paid to keep the streets dirty rather than to
cleanse them. As a consequence of this gross
neglect the mortality reports show that the
death-rate in this filth-ridden Ward is 411 per
thousand, while the average of the entire
city is 27k. "The population of this Ward,"
says the last annual report of the Board of
Health, "die of diarrhccal disorders and other
diseases whirl/ riot in filth." It might have I
gone farther and said that the miasma that
is bred or reeking gutters and piles of de
caying garbage does not stop for Ward limits;
but it invades Broadway, Fifth avenue and
the "up-town" streets, smites the fair
cheek of Flora McFlimsey as she
rolls along in her luxurious carriage,
gives her aristocratic Pa such unpleasant sen
sations as instigate him to send for his lawyer
and the family physician, and, in short, raises •
the average death-rate of the entire city. If
it were not for the peculiar absorbing nature
of the soil of the lower part of Manhattan
Island, and for the frequent sea-breezes which
sweep over the city, New York would almost
constantly be as unhealthy as New Orleans is
in the fever season. But even sea-breezes and a,
receptive soil are not sufficient offsets for
such localities as the First Ward, and Go
tham has to pay the dread penalty of filthy
highways. Philadelphia, although more
favored than New York, still offers a wide
field for the broom of the scavenger, and the
exertions of the municipal reformer. City
CounciLs,before which the question of cleans
ing will come this afternoon, should be ad
monished by the experience of New York,
and notymit for the death-rate to get up to
the New York figure before insisting that
contractors in this important department of
the public service shall promptly and dil
e iently perform their duty.
The master bricklayers of this city held
meeting, last evening, to take action concern
ing the apprentice-restricting regulations of
the journeymen, and a copy of their resolves
will be found upon the inside pages of the
BULLBTIN of to-day. The resolutions, al
'though temperate in their tone, set forth very
clearly and emphatically the evils resulting
from the blindly selfish policy of the journey
men, and they should influence them to aban-

don their system of arbitrary interference
with the business of the emiiloyers. There is
one thing that trades' unions cannot be made
to understand until the conviction is foteed
upon them by practical experience ; this one
thing is the fact that demand will inevitably
bring about a corresponding supply, and that
if the native market will not furnish this sup
ply it will be obtained from abroad, and the
effect of the non-apprentice system has already
been to stock certain trades almost exclu
sively with foreign workmen; trades which
twenty-five years ago were in the hands of
skillful Americans. If the foreign workman,
resident among us, were equally competent
as the native born, it would make but little
real difference to the community at large; but
it does make a very wide difference where
our American youth have to lead lives of en
forced idleness, while Irishmen, Englishmen,
Frenchmen and Germans cross the sea in
swarms to fill the places which they should
occupy. This opposition upon the part of
journeymen to the taking of apprentices is
about as unwise and as bootless as the
old opposition to the introduction
of machinery and scarcely less stupid than
the exploit of Mrs. Partington in her en
deavor to sweep away from her door the
rising tide of the Atlantic. The rules of
trades' unions are of no more ultimate ac
count than the broom of the old woman in
stemming the water's progress ; but men
who are engaged in doing foolish things
may Incidentally do a great deal of mischief,
and it is thus with the associations which are
depriving an entire generation of youth of
the opportunity to become good and useful
citizens. In this view of the case the evil
calls for a more prompt and active cure than
will be furnished by the regular operation of
the laws of trade.
Quite a little parade ill made of Senator
Henderson's telegram to St. Louis, in answer
to a very direct question whether he would
vote for the eleventh article of impeachment.
Such a straight-forward question addressed to
ordinary, honest men, would receive a prompt
and categorical reply. A single word, "Yes"
or "No," would answer every purpose, and
save trouble and expense.. But Mr. Hender
son dodges the question, and sends a "glitter
ing generality' about "doing his duty as an
honest man," &c. There is a savor of.
Pecksniff about Mr. Henderson's telegram,
and we shall wait to believe in the purity
of his intentions when we see how he
votes.

Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Ballettni
Wirtnintotos, May lA.—Considerable anxiety
has been felt at the sickness of several Senators,'
and the doubts surrounding the verdict in the
impeachment case have been increased by the
uncertainty of all the members of the Court being
able to appear in the Senate Chamber on Satur
day. Senator Howard Is much better this morn
ing, and,Conkling,who has been seriously ill since
the adjournment of the Court, is also much better.
Grimes, who was attacked with paralysis
yesterday, Is not serious, and the prospect now is
that a full vote can be had at 12 o'clock on
Saturday.
The delay is believed to have strengthened the
Impeachment cause. Letters, telegrams and
copies of resolutions adopted by meetings of their
constituents have been pouring in upon Senators
who are supposed to be wavering and to Re
publican members of the House. Thad. Stevens
is confident that his 11th article, at least, cannot
be defeated.
The President and his friends, who ilhve been
confident of aequittal. are known to, have been
far less sanenine last night

(Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening BonethLi
VAbIILNIGTON, May 14.—The House Committee
on Appropriations have finished their work upon
the Indian bill, and it will be reported to-day if
an opportunity offers. The whole amount ap
propriated is $2,214,283, about one third less
than the aggregate of last year. The Secretary's
estimates called for st 3,240.152.
The same Committee will finish the Deficiency
bill, which is nearly completed, at their meeting
to-morrow, and report it at once to the House.
The work of the session, so far as appropriation
is concerned, is nearly done, and if the session is
prolonged it will be upon questions of finance.
Senator ressencienN ,trgament.
Wssitisi . :Tos May 11.—During the secret
session of the Senate on Monday, Senator Fcssen
den delivered a long speech on the Impeachment
question,in which he defined his position.
He quoted the provisions of the Constitution
giving the President the right to appoint, and
instanced the case of the removal of Timothy
Pickering by the elder Adams, as an instance of
the constitutional construction and the practice
under the laws. He said It has bean argued that
even if this right of removal by the President
may be supposed to exist during the roces3
of the Senate, it is otherwise when that
body is in session. I am unable to
see the grounds of this distinction or to find any
grounds for this distinction. The Constitution
nsakee no such distinction. as It says nothing
:about removals, Ysequent instances have oc
curred where the President thought proper to re
move an officer at once before sending the name
of his successor, and prior to the act of March
2d, 1867, I found never his right to do
so seriously questioned. He says, judging from
the short experience we have had under the law
Of 1867. the supervisory power of the Senate over
removals is purely calculated to secure a
prompt and vigorous correctionlof abuses in of
fice, especially upon the modern claim that when
offices are of a local character, the representative
has a right to designate the officer, under which
claim,this branch of executive authority, Instead
of being lodged where the constitution placed it,
passes to one of the legislative branches of the
government. He next considers the removal
of Mr. Stanton, and says that before the
passage of the Civil Tenure of Office
act the President had clearly the right to remove
him, and argued that the case of Secretary Stan
ton did not come under that act, because ho had
never been appointed by President Johnson,
arguing that as he was appointed by President
Lincoln he merely held the office under sufferance
and was liable to removal at any time. lieconclu
des his argument on the subject as follows: As Hr.
Stanton was appointed to hold during the plea
sure of the President for the time being, and his
tenure was not affected by the act, of March 2d,
1867, the President had a right CO remove him
from office on the 21st of February, 1868, and
consequently cannot be held guilty under the
first article, and even if I were - not satisfied of the
construction given herein of the act of 1867, I
should 'still hesitate to convict of a high
misdemeanor for what was • done on • the
21st of February, 1868, because it was the mere
issuing of a written order, and failed in accom
plishing the act intended, and it would be an
abuse of power to depose the President on the
part of the Senate, which could not be justified
to the country or the world. With regard to
the letter of authority to Gen. Thomas he con
cludes that as the President had a legal right to
remove Mr. Stanton, he had a right to designate
Gen. Thomas to discharge the duties of the office
ad interim.
Alluding to the speeches of the President in re
lation to Congress, ho asks is the President alone
excluded from the privilege' of expressing his
opinions of the constitution of a particular Con
grestqandlof denouncing its acts as encroachments
upon constitutional rights and the fundamental
principles of government. In process of time there
might possibly be a Congress which would be
wetly liable to the severe criminations of a
resident. In such a case is he to remain silent,
and is he forbidden by the Constitution on pains
of removal from office to warn the people of the
United States of their danger. If he believed his
structures to be true he had a perfect moral
right to speak; if he did not, his offence :is
against good morals, and not against any human
law. There lamothlng in these words to prove
t,he allegation that the President's intent in speak
ing, thorn was to impair and destroy the
respect of the people for Congress, or
the laws by it duly and constitutionally enacted,
or to Est aside its rightful authority and powers.
He has not been able to discover any measure or
throats against Congress unless theyoire found
in the declaration that he would Veto their
measures. The speeches at Cleveland and St.
Louis, though higWr objectionable in style, and
unbecoming a PreEdent, afford nothing to justify
the allegation that they, were menacing towards.
Congress or VI the laws of the country.
In considering the 11th article, he says that
however objectionable and reprehensible the
claims of the President might be, ho cannot be
convicted of a high misdemeanor for asserting
an uricOnstitutional doctrine If he has made no
attempt to give it practicable effect.
In closing, he states that it is evident that the
offence for which a Chief Magistrate is removed
from office, and the power entrusted to him by
the people transferred to other hands, and espe
cially Where the the hands which receive it aro to
be the same which take it from him, should
be of such a character as to commend itself
to the minds of all right thinking men as beyond
all question an adequate cause. It should be free
from the , taint of party, leave no reasonable
ground,of suspicion upon the motives of ' those
' who inflict the penalty, and address itself to the
country and- the 'civilized '
.world as, a measure
jufffly b,fthe• gravity of the crime and
the necessity of its punishment.

Brigandage,, and Murder.
A Florence correspondentreports the reappear
ance of brigandage in the neighborhood of Ros
sano (Calafirla Citerioro). band,of which
nothing bas beez.',heard for some time, made a
haul of some Meaty persons at a village called
Sealaretta. The captives were carried off into the
wood until they reached Guardia where the band
made a halt. n bad been determined 'to make an
example' of two of the poor wretches. The
victims were named Falcone and Berra. The
brigands and their captives formed a circle round
the place of execution. Falcone was to suffer the
first, the office of beadsman devolving on a man
named Salvatore Caravetta, who, at a signal
given by the captain, stepped within the fatal
ring armed with a gleaming cutlass. 'Tore' war
ogly reminded the eyes of all the band were
upon him, and that it behoved him to show that
his right hand bad not lost its cunning during
the repose of the winter recess.
"Jealous of his fame, Tore seized rioor Fal
cone by the hair, and severed the head from the
body in two blows, amid the encouraging shouts
of his comrades. 'The head was then flung over
the mountain side, and speedily bounded away
out of sight. Now came ,Serra's turn, and the
same reeking instrument of death was handed
over to another ruffian, one Plattiti. Serra threw
himself upon his knees, by turns imploring mercy
and recommending his soul to Heaven. A stroke
from the cutlass was the only answer to his en
treaties; but,whether from a refinement of cruelty
or from awkwardness, the blow had to be re
peated ten times, and still without putting an
end to the sufferings of the helpless victim.
"'Derided by the other brigands,' says the nar
rater, l'izzuti threw himself like a famished
beast upon the body of the still breathing Serra,
plunzieg a dagger into every part of his'oody. It
was the most terrible scene ever witnessed, hut
with all this Serra was not yet dead. At last the
eaptain saw fit to interfere, and a revolver dis
charged in the ear of the mutilated wretch
brought the dreadful proceedings to a close. The
other prisoners were then set at liberty.'
"It is needless to acid that these - facts have
spread consternation through the whole province.
We have, furthermore, the news of two encoun
ters with brigands, with the capture or surren
der of four others. In another part of the coun
try two presented themselves of :heir own ac
cord, to !has, ndie of San Vittare."

[From the New York herald, of To-day.l
May 18.—This has been an extremely dull day in Wall
street, the severe storm and the prevailing uncertainty
with respect to the action of the Senate concerning
Mr. Johnson having combined to make speculation
unusually languid. That whited sepulchre of burled
fortunes. the Stock Exchange building, contrasted
in its stillness with the din which accompanies aa,
active market, and the , brokera moved about listlessly,
like so many Othellos with their occupation gone
or shades of Micawber waiting for something to tarn
up. Nothing turned up, , however, from the
opening to the close of baelness. and the only thing that
came down handsomely was the rain. Stooks, unlike
Captain Scott's 'coon, refused to come down..notwith.
standing the absence of outside buyers, and the bears
glowered at them in vain. There they stood, from hour to
hour, without variation, literally stooketill. Neither the
hulls nor the boars appeared to be fn, any mood far war
fare, both being willing to preserve, for the time being, a
masterly inactivity In the gold room and among the
dealers in government securities • and foreign enz:
change the same sluggish feature was presented, and few..
of all the heterogeneous army of brokers and other proles.
sional speculators who wend their way to Wall , street
. daily succeeded in making enough to pay their expense.
How soon this stagnalian will give place to activity de
rends upon the cliques ;• but it is not probable that there
will be any material change in the meet of affairs until,
Saturday, and then much will hinge ;upon the proceed.

The gold rr &act was extremely dull all day. and the
fluctuations were from 1395 e, to 131. with the closing
transaction,, before the adjournment:of the board and
afterwards, at 18143.1". There was a moderate borrowing
demand for coin, and loans were made at 4 a d er cent.
per annum for carrying and without interest. The gross
charts ge amounted to 524,977,748; the gold balances to
$39,469.06e. and the currency balances to 068.946,900. The
Treasury has been felling lees than its customs receipts at
this port for 'several days past, and its present policy
is to reduce its currency balance by the purchase of seven
thhrtritiotes in excess of its gold sales]. The diebtintements

the rate of about $400.000 per day, and the payment's op to

MAY 1.3.- The revere storm has put a atop to business in
all the market., and has increased the dullness of ale last
few days. 'the banks are beginning to feel the effects of
the stagnation in the accumulation of their unemployed
fun de, and some of the old conservative banks sent round
to their different custord era offering to lend at d percent.,
stud firkins' them to allow their loans to run at that rate.
The Government bond dealers and other firstelaas bor
rowers are offered considerable sums at 6 per c, tit. The
few loans remaining at 7 per cent. are quite exceptional.
Prime business paper is in demand and scaree at 6,1 to 73 , 1
per cent.
'fbeuncertainty in regard. to impeachment is more in.
jnricas than a decision either way, as it produces stagna
tion in everything.
'I he Govt rnment bond market was quiet but strong.
Registered of all kinds. and small coupon bonds of 1162
are ecarce. The Assistant-Treasurer today sold only a
small amount of gold, and bought about *700,000 of seven
thirty notes at 10734. The conversions of seven-thirties to
day were s6oo.eue. and yesterday over tlBOO Mt, making
the total of seven•thirtien, taken out of the market yester
day and to-day by Government, in conversions and pur
cheers, nearly $3.(00,000.
Ihe foreign exchange market is quiet as usual after
the sailing of the packet, and rates are without change,

IMPEACHMENT.
Good Prospects for Conviction.
DIXON FEARS THE RESULT.
THE POSITION OF HENDERSON.
THE PRESIDENT UNCOMFORTABLE
EATER CABLE NEWS.
State of the Markets.
Waiting for the Verdict.
(Special Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin 3
WASHINGTON,' play li.—There is the same
earnest feeling this afternoon in regard to im
peachment which has existed for the past week.
The excitement is as great as at any time, al
though not so open and violent.
The news last evening that senator Grimes
had be,en stricken with paralysis created a pro
found sensation and caused a great deal of com
ment.
The impeachment men are confident this after
noon that the 11th article, at least, is flare to go
through by 38 votes.
The friends of the President are not as certain
this. morning of his acquittal as yesterday or day
previous.
Senator Dixon expressed his fears this morn
ing to your correspondent that, the delay in the
vote on impeachment would be sure to result ih
the President's conviction. He said he was less
sanguine to-day tLan he had been at any time,
during the last two weeks. This feeling extends
to many other of the President's friends, who
have heretofore been among those who were
equally as confident ag Senator Dixon.
A gentleman who had an interview with the
President at quite a late hour last night, says his
conversation indicated that he was by no means
sure that the Senate would acquit him on all the
articles.
Senator Henderson, having given the Missouri
delegation to understand that be would resign if
he coul(P , not support the eleventh article, and
not up to the present time having presented his
resignation, the delegation believe it is his in
tention to support that article. This fact has
served to strengthen the cause of impeachment,
while depressing the President's friends.
A rumor was extensively circulated this morn
ing that there had been a'caucus of the renegade
Republican Senators at the residence of Chief
Justice Chase, last evening, but inqui,y fails to
substantiate the truth of the statement.

Rev. Mr. Waldey offered the' following reso
lution :
Benfred, The Bishop concurring. that the Diocese of
Peonsylventa be divided on what is technically known
as "the fourteen county line," described by the com
mittee.
Rev. Mr. Morris moved -an amendment-to
strike out • the word "fourteen" and insert the
word "seven" county line.
Rev. Dr. Mombert offered an additional
amendment to substitute the word "five" for
"sewn."
Rev. Mr. Matlack moved to lay the whole sub
ject on the table.
Bishop Stevens. in answer to inquiry. stated
that the effect of the last motion would be to
place the resolution on the table, subject to be
called up at any time the House pleased. Such
action would not put the question beyond the
power of the Convention '
unless after its adoption
a reconsideration should be moved by one who
had voted in the affirmative,and that motion laid
upon the table.
Hon. J. Glancy Jones stated that whoever
favored the division of the Diocese would of
course vote No, on thequestion; while those only
who opposed the division would vote Aye.
The motion to lay the subject of division upon
the table was then voted upon, by yeas and nays.
As the resolution was negatived by a clerical
vo o of 61 yeas to 68 nays, the lay vote was dis
pensed with.
On motion' of Hon. J. Glancy Jones, all
speeches were limited to ten minutes each.
Hon. J.. Glancy Jones moved that debate
should commence at the opening of the after
noon session, at SP. M., and continue until 7
o'clock, when the voting should commence.
Rev. 8. E. Appleton moved to lay the motion
upon the table, whereupon Hon. J. Glancy
Jones accepted a suggestion to extend the limit
of the debate until 9 P. M.
A subsequent motion to lay the question on the
table was moved, but without action, the Con
vention adjourned at 2 o'clock until 5 P. M.

The withdrawing Synods had brought false ac
cusations against the General Synod and were re
sponsible to God for their acts. Thereport, af
ter some debate, was laid on the table, and all ac
tion on the matter cancelled, because it was
deemed impolitic to re-open any despute or
let the world view the diviiiion in the Lutheran
ranks.
