TILE EVIDENCE OF GENERAL FIMEY.:
On Wednesday last General , William
Emory, commander of the department
of Washington, appeared_ before the, im
peachment committee of the house of rep
resentatii•es, and being duly qualified,
was examined by the chairman of the com:
mit tee as follows :
Question—What is your rank and com
mand in the army ? Answer—l
. am Colo
nel of the fifth United states cavaly, and
brevet Major-general in the United states
arm v. My commend is the department
of Washington.
Q. How long have you been in com
mand of this department. A. I think
eitice the Ist of September, 1867.
-During the mouth of February,
1808, have you had any conversation with
the President of the United States in re
latinn to military affairs or movements
A.`bniv once.
Q.Nrhen was that? A. That was on
Saturda:34..the 22d Feb.
Q. Was be interview at your request
or.iiis ? Alt was at his request.
-
Q. In iefinVWay - was his regaest, corn.
tnutticated to yon? I. I have the note in
I
my pocket. t, ika letter from Colonel
William G. Moor Of the army, marked
•
" er:zonal"
Chairman—Read thiOetter. The wit
ness read as follows : =• •
Executive
Washington, 1). C., Feb.' Sg, 1868. 1 .
General : The President areas me to
say that he would be pleased aliave you
cell on him as early as practicatireVery
respectfully and truly yours,
Wm. G;Moons, U. S. A.
Q. •1)1.1 you call in consequence of that
request ? A. I did.
Q. State fully :and literally, as far as
you are able, what occurred at tfie inter
view. A. There is nothing more difficult
than to repeat conversation.
Q. State the substanee.of it ? .4, The
President asked me if I recollected a con
versation I had with him when I first took
command of the department, in reference
to the strength of the garrison of Wash
ington and the general disposition of the
troops ip this department,_ to which I re-
RiNU l' at eL d :: / c l g t ' re fiatiVeg
ges ; I replied that there had been no ma
terial changes, but such as there had been
I could state at once; I then went on to
state that six companies of the twenty
ninth infantry had been brought here to
Winter, but that that had been offset by
detaching four companies of the twelfth
inhintry to Charleston, on the requisition
of General Canby; that two companies of
the Fourteenth Artillery, which had been'
detached during General Canby's com
mand of the department, one of them to
the Northern frontier to assist in putting
down the Fenian difficulties, had been re
turned to their regimept stationed at Fort
McHenry, 13iltimore; that though the
command had been increased in the mn
her of companies, I 'was under the int,
pressiow that the reduction in the numeri
cal etrength of the command, growing
out of the order which reduced the infan
try and artillery companies frotn the max
imum of the war establishment to the
minimum of the peace establishment more
than offset what was gained by the addi
tional companies; the President said, "I
refer to inure recent changes;" I said 1 did
not know exactly what he referred to by
recent changes; that none had been made
to my knowlege; that if he would give
me some idt a of who had made the report
to him, or what the report was which ho
had received, I could perhaps give him a
more definite answer; he said reports had
reached him that within the last day or
two certain orders and new arrangements
of troops had been mane; I assured him
that none had been made with my knOwl
edge; and I did not believe any had been
made without my knowledge; that under
the recent orders, founded upon the !awe
of Congress,Tor he government of the ar
miesof the United States, approved by
hint, no order 'could come to the except
through general Grant, and that, reason
ing from analogy, it was assumed in the
army that no order could be given to any
one under-my :command without coming
through me; that if by any possibility, an
order had been given without coming
through me,,it was the duty of the officer
receiving it to immediately notify me; he
then asked tile, " what order do you refer
to ?" I stated that I referrred to order
N 0.15 or 171 could not reccollect which,
that had been published to the army some
time in May last; he said. " I wish to see
the order;" I replied to him that Lwould
send for it; he said, " No, I have all, the
orders about the house," l anrl a messenger
was sent for it; at thatiminColimel Coop
er came in and Occupied' the President's
attention fir some' time upon another
sutject, as Isopposed, for • I withdreW to
the other er.d of the room; while there the
messenger came and brmitAht the order;
after Colonel Cooper had gone'ont, I re- -
turned tot he President' with: We — order
lb my band and said: Mr. President, I Will
eB, --
~. - . •
i -g
'441'4 as a great - favor . if ysitt will peim . it
'me'to call your attention' to this order, of
act, passe=d ie awappt9priation bill, and it
is possible_Srob toy: never lave seen it; be
took-the order and read it, fnd observed,
"This is not-in accordauct with the-Con
'stitution of - the tnited Stai4s, which
makes me commancler in chief of the army
and Navy, or with tha language of the
commission'you hold." I stated to him
that that was not a matter -for officers to
determine; there_ was an order sent to us
approved by him, and we Were all gov-
erned by that order. ,
Q. Do you mean that the order or the
act was approvEd by the President?
A. J mean the act ; but as far as that is
concerned the order and the act approve 4
by him are the same thing, for the order
contained nothing but the act; he said,
"am I to understand that the President
of the United States cannot give aworder
but, through the gerieral-in-ehief or Gen.
Grant P . ' I replied, " Mr. President that,
is the order which you approved, and
which has been issued for the govern
ment of the army, and I think it due to
you to say that-when this order first came
out, it was much discussed in the army,
and some of the leading lawyers in the
country were consulted as to what the du
ty of an officer was under that law and or
der; and, L observed, one of them whom
I consulted, and I consider him one of the
greatest constitutional lawyers of the
country, gave it as his very decided opin
ion that we were bound by it; and I
think it, right to tell you that on this sub
ject the army is a unit. Ile asked me who
the lawyer was. I told him the one I con
sulted was a kinsman of mine—Robert J.
Walker—and that I had understood, tho'
I did not know of my knowledge, that,
others had consulted Reverdy Johnson,
who it was reported held the same opin
ion. The President replied, " the object
of the law is very evident." After a short.
: pause seeing there was nothing more to
thanked him fur the courtesy with
4"ltich ke had permitted me to express my
opinion;"and left the house.
Q. 04 the President in any form in
quire whether you should obey an order
it it watfsent, to you without going thro'
the head (planers of the general ?
A. As - ,pearly as I can recollect there
was notia word passed that -I have not
put dotjtuVtliongh I could of course not,
swear that, I not put down every
word tittered,'pin may see by my testi
mony that. I myselfintroduced the subject
of order No. 17, which involves this nes-
1.1011 ,
-cm. - a - xvorwrocr
given orders, or that he had declared he
was going to give orders, and I thought
it my duty tii•state the Matter fairly and
squarely to the Pi,esident.
TESTYSIONY OF COL, WALLACE.

to military affairs; or movements or opera-
tions?
A. I - had a brid conversation with him
on Sunday morning last.
Q. Had you the conversation at his re-
quest?
A. The circumstances occurred in this
way : I was called to the Executive man
sion to see one of his secretaries, Colonel
Moore, and while in conversation with
him I asked how the President was. He
replied that he Was very well, and asked
Would like to see him and pay my res
pects .to him. I' said certainly, and in a
few minutes I wao invited into his room.
Q. Did you have a conversation with
him in regard to militarymatters?
A. Yes, sir, a brief conversation.
Q. State what that conversation was.
A. The President asked me if any
changes had been made in the forces un
der my command. I replied that four,
companies of the 12th infantry, the regit.
ment to which I property. belonged, had.
been sent, to Charleston, or rather to that
military district, the 7th of January ; that
beyond that there..had been none.
