admit all evidence which' may be offered.
On motion of. Senator CONNECTS the or

Mr. Staribery was not present, but
-7/kir. - .WARTS said - they would prcoeed as

Walter S. Cox, of Georgetowu, was called
by the defence and asked when his connec
tion with the case of Stanton vs Thomas
commenced, and when and by: whom and
under What - circumstances he was em
ployed?A •
Mr. BUTLER objected, but
- The CHIEF JUSTICE overruled the ob
jection. Witness might answer the first
part of the questiOn. -
;The witness said he.was sent for on the
22d of February - . and went to the White
'Honk at flee o'clock.
- r. He wasp .to state what the Pres
ident said to him, w en
Mr. BUTLER - again objected and de
' mended that counsel, put in, writing what
' they expected to girove. .
Counsel proposed to prove that the Presi
dent employed, Mr. Cox to, procure a judi
' childecislim by filing a quo uniTanto.
Mr. BUTLER argued that the President
did not appear in the. record of the case,
And the write should have been filed by the
Attorney General.
Mr. EVARTS rejoined that if the Presi
dentmade the case his own, he could not
appear in it, and the Attorney General ap
proved the employment of Mr. Cox. -
Mr. BUTLER - argued at length that the
doctrine was an estoppel.
Mr. CURTIS said that the remarks of Mr.
Butler required no reply, and in answer to
Senator Ferry, stated the counsel did not
propose to'disprove the record, but would
show that the motion to discharge General
Thomas was made only: when his lawyers
saw no hope of procuring a judicial deci
sion on the act.
The argument was continued by Means.
WILSON and EVARTS as to the admissi
bility of the evidence concerning the intent
of the President.
The :CHIEF JUSTICE ruled the evidence
to show that the President employed law
yers to obtain a decision on the constitu
tionality of the Tenure-of-Office . act was
admissible, in support of the denial of the
first, article,- in accordance with ffirmer
v3tes of the Senate and with the principles
of law and right. 1
The yeas and nays were called, Which
resulted twenty-nine to - twentyone. . -•
The elithience was,,,therefore admitted.
The witness resumed - - The • President
told witness he desired to have proceedinge
instituted to. titstitiW'aet.- 430 astitidionallY,
And wished hilate eqesukteith',ll/4 Stan
bery, who had beenleo blisy.ftribeMeso the'
matter. Helen General Thomati with the
President and concluded it would be best
to apply for, a habeas , corpus after General
Thomas should be momniltted by the Crim
inal Court, which course Mr. Staubery ap
proved.
The question was asked and objected to,
What did yoh do towards getting out a
writ of habeas corpus by direction of the,
President? •
.Admitted-27 to Z. '
Answer—Tried to have General Thomait,
committed to prison. Mr. Stanton's coun=t
see applied for-a postponement: Chief Jue- i
tice - Cariereafd he should be held in custo
dy. Witness moved his discharge, expect D-
ing to force his committal, but the motion
was granted.
The Senate refused to . allow a state-,
ment jo be made of the conversation with
the President the same evening, and the
counsel then asked,
After reporting this to the President, did;
1 you , do any other acts in pursuance of his,
previous instructions to test the constitte:
tionality, , of the Tenure-of-Office Act? IR
so, what-were they? - , - ,----'-'
. Objected to, which the CHIEF JUSTICE
Overruled,iind the Senatesustained his rat
int

liness resumed—The next day I appliw
ed' the District Attorney to sign an infer
mation in the nature , of a quo warrante,
whichhe declined to do without the
authorityof the Attorney General. Visited
Stanton and he gave him his opinion (not
allowed to be stated] and nothiug else was
done in the matter. - - - - ' --

eross-extunined, by Mr. BUTLER. -.':He
considered iddiselfes tont:mei-for the Presi
dent, but appeared before judge Quieejts

tell the Court, or opposing counael in Milt,
that his purpose was to ,get the case in trate
to test, the constitutionality of the Tenure?
' of-Office law, and sup s they devined the
object. •
