' • '
The Senate met: atll o'clock this A. if.
/Lad' theTlusual closing OetiO and pro
, ,
ceedings 'Speaker GRAHAM said:
Senators—Before vacating the chair and
handing the gavel over to my honored friend
and successor, allow me to tender my sin
cere 'acknowledgments to every member
of the. Senate for the uniform courtesy,
forheirtuice and - stipport which I have re
eeima " from.. you: I shall cherish the re
mem rarice of your kindness and friend- -
ship,— tmtil life'triatest hoar. When I
insimmed ' the; duties of the Chair
I promised to discharge them im
partially,. fearlessly,, , formally, yet kind-.
ly. I have endeavored to redeem the.
pledge, and if in the discharge of MY duty
as your presiding officer I have wounded
or given offence to any, it ,was unintention
al, and I earnestly ask to be forgiven. This
hour dismisses us from legislative labors
to the repose and sweets of private life. The
thought of soon again meeting with and
enjoying the society of loved ones at
home, dispels, in a measure, the .sad
ness which always gathers around
the last moments of a session, when we bid
each other adieu, with the thought that in
all human probability it is forever. I re
,sign the trust you have committed to my
hands with the consciousness that I have'
devoted my best efforts to the discharge of
its - duties, however imperfectly I may have
succeeded.
• And now, brother Senators, in bidding
.! you an affectionate farewell, permit me
' once more to cordially thank you for your
uniform kindness and courtegy,•and accept
the assurance that you bear with you my ,
earnest prayers for .your individual pros-. 1
perity and hapPiness.
Mr. WILMER WORTHINGTON, of Ches

Mr. Graham, by a strict party vote.

Mr. NiCE, Dem., of. Schuylkill, offered a
resolution of thanks to Speaker Davis,
(Mr. Mann, of Potter, being in the chair.)
which was passed unanimously.
Mr. MANN, iiddressing Speaker Davis,
said : • -
I have 'the pleasure of notifing you of
the adoption of a vote of-thanks for'your,
uniform. kindness and impartiality in pre
siding over us, by a unanimous vote of the
House: It has been your fortune so to con
stitute Committees of the House as to ad
vance the passage of a free railroad bill;
.whiciithe s been the desire of the people of
Pennsylvania. Ido not say that this bill
is all the people expect, but I do say that it
is great progress _in the right direction, and
that this progress is owing in a great part
to your organization of the Com
mittee on Railroads, placing at its
head a gentleman known ^ 'to all
as being heartily and zealously in favor of
this great measure of reform. in addition
to this, under your adniinistration laws
have been passed affecting and regulating
the licensing of foreign insurance compan
ies, and taxing! all. corporations of the
State, and Codification‘ef enroliticlit laws,
and requiring of Telegraph companies to
make 'annual reports; Alt this has tended
to lessen the labors of the financial officers
of the State, and will inevitably bring into'
its coffers considerable additional revenue,
without imposing addititional taxation
upon covorations that weretaxed.

EBy Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.]
WASHINGTON? April 14, 1808.
Court was opened in due form.
Mr. SUMNER offered the following order:
Ordered, that in answer, to the motion of
the Managers,
the Managers, in reference to the limiting
of 'the final argument, unless otherwise
ordered, that such other Managers and
counsel as choose may print and file their,
remarks at any time on the closing of the
argument.
CHIEF JUSTICE—If there be no objec 7
tion it will be so ordered.
Mr. CONFESS—I object.
Mr. SUADIER--I would' respectfully ask
under what rule such objection can be
made?
The CHIEF JUSTICE replied that on'
several occasions he had decided the roles
of theSentite to be the rules of the Courtas
far as applicable.
Mr. R—Of course, it is not for me
to argue the question, but I beg leave to re
mind tbe •Chair of the rule • under which
-this order was made.
CHIEF JUSTICE—It will lie over. The
counsel for the President will proceed with
the defense.
Mr. EVARTS said that it was the mis.
fortune of the 'President's counsel to be
obliged to state to the Court that since the
_adjournment yesterday Mr. Stanbery had
been seized with an illness that prevented
his atendance this morning. He (Mr;
Evarts)had seen Mr. Stanbery this morn
ing anlearned that, in the opinion of the
physician s he would undoubtedly be able to
resume his duties within forty-eight home.
There might be some hope he could do so
to-morrow. In view of the suddenness of
the occurrence, and their arrangements in
regard to the prooth, it would be very diffi
cult, almost impossible, with any proprie
ty, with proper attention to the case, to
proceed to-day, and they supposed an in
dulgence, at least for to-day, would lessen
the chances of longer procrastination. The
Senate would bear in .mind that much .of
their proposed evidence was within the
present knowledge of Mr. Stanbery, and
not within that:, of his associates. "It
waS, of course, unpleasant to them to
introduce these personal considerations,
but in their best judgment it was necessary
to submit the motion to the discietion of the
Senate, whether the indulgence should be
- limited to this day or.extended to a time
necessaryfor the restoration, :Of , Mr. Stan-.
bery, whom he had seen last evening, and
supposed he would be able to go on this
morning as usual, as did Mr. Stanbery
himself. He had only learned this morn
ing that Mr. Stanbery would be confined'to
his room by direction of his physician.
Senator DRAKE shnt the following to the
;•chair, and it, was read: . . •
"Cannot his doff , he., occuE r i k ed by the 1
coons for-thit.l.mt , ..gialskg Mil
documentary evidedee." - - ,
Mr. EVARTS—It cannot, as we under- I
stand the nature and condition of the proofs. I
On motion of Senator HOWE, the Senate, i
sitting as it Court, adjourned until to-mor
row at 12 o'clock—Messrs Sumner and
Pomeroy only voting no.
The President resultied 'the '•chair and'
called
called the Senate to order. , ,
Mr. DAVIS gave notice he would move
the following additional,rule to the rules of
practice and proceedings in cases of im
peachment:
Two-thirds of the Senate present shall be,
necessary to rule: on any question of evi
dent.* or.law against the party impeached.
Mr. ANTHONY, from the committee on
Printing, reported favorably a resolution to
print axe thousand additional copies of the
report of-theimpeachdient trial, which, on
his motion, the Senate proceeded to con
sider. .
Mr. SHERMAN asked where these docu
ments were being printed?
Mr. ANTHONY—At the Government
printing office.
Mr. SHERMAN referred to the immense
expense of printing, especially in connec
tion with the Congressiond Globe, where
this report was primed, .and of which ad
ditional copies could beprepared at a much
less expense. He inquired what the ex
pense would be?
Mr. ANTHONY replied, probably about
•$10,000.,
Mr. SHERMAN thought 1 it ;time to stop
the waste of money in the distribution of
documents to their constituents, who could
buy them at the bookstores, if they wanted
them. - , ;,.- , • --,', ..-,_

Mr. ErticKALEw moved to - add the fol
k. ing as an amendment. "and the distri
billion of the Barnet° Senators shall tie in
accordance with the ptipulation of the
States resTectiyely.",,t 1
Mr. ANTHONY denied that the expenses
of Congressional printing had increased,
add clsed they are not -as much now in
greenbacks as before the war'in gold.
Ir. HENDRICKS thought from an a
gliN
a inationle made last session the Senator
rle MiStakem that: expenses had greatly
i creased. If desirable the eirculatien of:
ports of this trial would ..,be . Pail sub
rved by admittinw the 4 'Teporter , f the
Associated Press to a seat on the floor, • as it
h d been . ,propesed, without any expense
' the country. Five thousand copies
w uld add considerably to the expense of
p nting4ndlive a 'very' small additional
r
,icalation.
Mr. ANTHONY asked If. the Senator had
figuregoto show the increase he claimed?

SERGEANT BATES, Tag rznESTRI.4.IC '
Seigeant Bates, the pedestrian; carrying
the united States flag, arrived here this
.forenoon, and was met at the Long Bridge
by a coxinnittee of citizens and escorted by ,
a large crowd to the Executive Mansion.
He was met at the portico by. President
Johnson, who invited him ' lnto the East
Room and there, , gave him a hearty wel
come. No speech-making was indulged in,
the occasion being totally devoid of for
mality. After a few moments' conversation
the Sergeant, accompanied by a large con
course, left on a line of march down Penn
sylvania avenue. ,
SPEECH OF MR. ELDRIDGE, OF WISCONSiN.
Sergeant Bates proceeded to the Metro
politan Hotel and having ascended to the
pdrtico, Hon. Chas. A. Eldridge delivered
the following addreSs:
Fellow Ciazcol: It is owing to' the fact
' that I am a citizen of Wisconsin that I have
been invited to appear here on. this occa
sion, and for a few brief moments to pre
sent to you the guest of Washington, the
youthful son of the State of Wisconsin,
Sergeant Bates. (Cheers.) He, finding a
popular error existing in the State of Wis
consin, like that in every northern
State, to wit: that the people of the
Southern States, whom our conquering
arms subdued, were hostile to the" - flag,
undertook to carry ,it --from Vicks
burg ,to Washington for the - purpose of
planting it on the dome of the Capitol. He
has demonstrated to the people of this
country,. and the world,that no such hos--
tility exists, but on the contrary that the
people of the South submit to the flag of
the Union in good faith, and -are deter
mined to maintain their allegiance to it,
and expect us of the North to maintain
ours. (Applause.) I understand that
Sergeant Bates swill now proceed to
place the flag, on "the dome of the CapitoL
But,l will nu longer detain you inthis rain
!norm, further than to say, I cannot forget
the day. now just seven years, when our
flag , was lowered in humility and sorrow
from' the battlements of Fort Sumter, and
rejoice that it arises in triumph and glory.
FLAG NOT PLACED ON THE DOME.
Mr. Michler, Superintendent of Public
Buildings, to place the flag on the dome
sent an order to Mr. Brown, by a po
liceman, and Mr. Brown endorsed it, giving
the required permission. The paper was
then handed to policeman in charge of
the door; who would nolletSe.rgesnt - Bste_
-paw Intothe-Clartcilitthnftirtlfdi
dorsement of tho Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr.
,-:Ordway, of the 'House of Representatives.
Not waiting longer, and tired of delay, Ser
geant Bates, with his friends left the Capi
tol to plant the flag on the Washington
Monument. Sergeant .Bates was. escorted
to the Hotel, the proprietor of which
entertained him irratuitously.
LINCOLN MONUMENT ASSOCIATION.
The dedication of the Lincoln monument,
erected by the citizens_ of Washington in
front of City Hall, will take place to-mor
row. Mayor Wallick to-day addressed ii
communication to each meitber of the
Cabinet, asking that the Departments, be

little altered, as the tbreign supplies have
been liberal, but there is little, doubt that
had'it not been for France prices: would
have been rather lower. Althonith some of
the interior markets of 'tense have rather
cheapened, Marseilles has::advanded,: and,
therefore, since August, English receipts
in wheat and flour have averaged 73,000
quarters per month, whereas in the re
maining five months before harvest Eng
land will want about 9,000,000 quarters per

. I fi ri
quantity of lumber, valued at , t hundred
and tWentyrnine dollars, under fatse repre
sentations. Mr. ,B. Hill, .I' . Tier mer
chant, the prosecuting witness, testified that
-in-the latter part. f NoYenabef, 106, the
idefendant came to his planing 3 - iiill, in the
Ninth ward of this city, and ;;bought the
bill of lumber, obtaining the sane on cred
it` by representing that he owned real estate
in Allegheny city. There was a _balance I
due on the bill. of,-. 11139 81. The witness
'inatedthatafter Searching thairecordoi, and- - .'
tanifig.fo.d scover that , the 'dere:l - abut own
ediany rea -, ,'.fatate, he itistitutbd criminal
proceedings before Alderman *cMasters.
The defense claimed that the defendant
had - said, when he procured; itlie lumber,
that ' , he had a home in-Ally teeny," and
not that he owned real estate iliere. Fur
thermore, that he did . notrnake the repre
sentations charged in the inditrrient with
fraudulent intent. It appeaiied that Mr.
Foreinan did at one time own teal estate in
Allegheny, but that he some tune ago trans
ferred the same ; to members of his family,
and now he owned but a life interest there
in.
A large number of witnesses , were
called, who established for thd defendant a".
good character for honesty. d .
Judge Mellon charged. the jury that in
order to convict under the indictment they
must - believe that false ratiresentations
were made by the defendant With the inten
tion of derauding the proseculor, and that
the prosecutor was indiice4i! by the false
rel. resentations alleged, to grit the defend
ant the bill of lumber on credit. The jury
would' take into consideratiOn the good
character of the defendant; if they believed
it had been successfully est4blished, and
let it have its due Weight when deliberating
upon their verdict. If they entertained a
reasonable doubt as to theLdefendant's - ,
guilt, that doubt should lea t in his ac
