. • SENATE. .
The Senate went into executive session
in order to give the Impeachment -Man
agers an opportunity to obtain certain ex
ecutive documents.
After executive session Mr. HEN
DRICK'S presented a resolution-adopted at
a meeting of blacksmiths and maehinists
of Indiana, praying that eight hours be
made a day's work in Government employ

• THE tßtg'il.V.ti TREATY. 4
The SPEAKER presented a message
from the President in relation to the treaty
with the 'German Powers respecting a
resolution or report from the Secretary of
State in relation .to the negotiations and
treaty With any of the German States since
the first of January last. -Relating to the
rights el-naturalized citizens, in one of the
letters from Bancroft, of January 20th, he
says: Count Bisnaarck informs me that the
British Government has inquifed of him
as to answer of tho Prussian Government
on the subject of naturalization. In reply
he informed them of the intention of this
Government to come to an understanding
with that of America. The remarks of
Count Bisma.rek implied that the British
Government is inclined to follow the eXam
pie of Prussia and that the settlement of
that question here will be virtually a settle
ment for Great Britain.•• Mr,. Seward , in a
letter to Bancroft of February 18th says :'I
have informally suggested to the British
,Minister here that a proceeding in form of
n mutual or common legislation:in the two
countries, would be More siinple, and proba
bly easier,.than a formal regulation in the
naturalimtion laws existing between us and
those of the two Governments respectively,
inasmuch; as :there are se, - many. other
qu
`estions . which - Urentl require settle
ment bet Ween the United y States and Great
'Britain, besides of the conflicting Naturali
zation laws. The doeuments include a
copy of treaty recently concluded between
the United States and North German 'Con
federation.
Mr, Bancroft in explaining the'history of
the negotiation says on the question of the
the right of expariatloa.themivaano 7 dis‘z.;
ous.sion. It is recognized by the laws Vt .
both countries. On tho question of resi
dence -as a condition of naturalization,
which the mother country should respect,
there existed no difference. The time of
residence was a point of more delicacy.
The Prussian law required an absence of
ten years,•ours a residence of five years.
'With liberality and franknesS Count Bis
marck declared himself willing to accept
the American rule as it had received: the
sanction of the. Administration at Wash
ington, and had become fixed by the Mingo
of more than three-score years and
ten. Mr. Bancroft— says that should
the United States see fit for its
own purposes as lately in the act of July
17, IS2, to concede the naturalization In. a
short residence, their rightCto do so is:not
impaired, but the meaning ofthis treaty is
that they will not ask North Germany to
recognize, such nature/iv/U.on Until the
adopted citizen shall have completed the
term now required by their normal law.
Mr. EDMUNDS offeredtwo amendments
to the bill regulating the Court of Claims.

entirely died out. The counsellor the_ de
fense have applied for and obtained the = is-.
sue of a Subpcena to ""Meck," of the Cin
cinnati Commercial, to appear as_a witness

he will testify to the fact that previous to
the full removal of Stanton ' the President
defended himself against the _Charges of
conspiracy which was then made against
him, and now, forms the chief point of im-.
peachment articles. Ile will be used by the
prostitution on the cross-examination . to
show that the President denounced Con
gress in private as well as public.
General Townsend has prepared a little'
history of all the military districts and de:
partments created in this country for fifty
years past, and this pamphlet will go into,
the Senete with the President's message,

The Wiener the Wilmot Proviso.
eorresporitien of the N. Y. Sun, refer
ring to a 'Statement first made public in a
special. drspateli ottlie Chronicle, that Judge
Brinkerhoff, of the Ohio Supreme Court,
was the real- author of the "Wilmot Pro
viso," gives tie following. curious account
of the origin-of thatmeasure, and the may
in whiCh it was presented to Congress:
The history of that proviso is this: In
1847 a political club met at the corner of
Eighth street' and Broadway to partake of
a weekly dinner. The club was composed.
of Barnburners--Democrats opposed to the
extension of slavery. _
At the dinner referred. to, Mr. liowe, a
westero member Of Congress, was present.
His purpose in _visitingNew .York was to
take counsel with the friends of freedom
how to head off the pro-slavery Democrats.
Amort.per the,members of the club present
wereJolin Van B . uren, Samuel J. Tilden,
John A. - Ketosedv, Isaac V. Fowler. And.
H: Green,' and well-known freesoil
During the consultation, John Van Bu
ren said that the protest against tl:c exten
sidn of slavery, introduced into Congress,
was not worded right. He suggested that
the exact - words of Jefferson, in the famous
ordinance of 'B3 and 'B7 should ;.'e- used.
This was agreed to. _
• Mr. Howe stated that it would be difficult
to introduce the proviso, .as the SPeaker
would not give the floor •to 'any one friend
ly to freedom. Mr. Tilden, as the chief or
ganizer of the movement about to be made,
proposed that a stratagem should be . play
ed. It was agreed' that mit man
composing the little body of sixteen or
eighteen freesoilers in Congress shouldhave
a copy of the proviso in his pocket. Each
should spring to the floor at the first chance,
and shout, "Mr. Speaker:" It was thought
that one of them would'he'recognizcd. Mr.
Tilden, with other members of the club,
went to Waibington to aid in avrrying out
the plan. a time; agreed npon the : Spar-,
tan band, each with the proviso, in his hand,
sprang to the floor, and hi concert shouted,
"Mr. - Speaker!" The Speaker wasc.bowil
dered... He could 'not ignore: , the whole
crowd. He selected Judge Wilmot,as the
mostniedeiete of the party, and so the Wil-
•
mot Proviso passed into history; -
is quite, probable that a draft bf the
proviso in the hands of Judge Brinkerhoff
ispriserved aniOng his papers; but theorigi
