Mr. EVAILTS then asked if at any Cabi4

counsel to prove that on
such occasions the, President and Cabinet
determined'apropier'tegard for AIM public
interests required that a case should be ar
*uipclin. some way so as to procure a ju
dicial decision as to the c o nstitutionality of
the law. •
Manager . BUTLER . said the Managers_
would like to have the Senate, in accard
mice with their previous votes, declare all
• such evidence immaterial, and r stop the
-trials to their-patience of attempts to intro
duce it at
Mi.EV/iRTS briefly rejoined--that the
learned• Manager,,from - the freknency and
leriOh of his remarks;: seemed 'to think the
patience of the Senate unlimited' and cape
,ble of receiving impressions only from one
Senator 'HENDERSOZI' ,asked ; whether
this evidence might riot be introduced-in
mitigation- of wlhiit might be loin - bed ,
with deposition, but- -'note necessarily
with disqualilleation from. Mee: , -
Manager BUTLER replied it could not
be offered's/Ith such a design to this Court;
but if it could be, this was , not the proper •
time forniitigating testimony, which was
always Pffered after- conviction and before'
-I' equation was submitted - and the Sen
ate byli Ittii'Orlibleteen to thirty decided
in the negative.
So the evidence Wes not adniitted and the
Senate, took recess.
On re-assembling; at 2.25, Mr. EVARTS
asked; if, within, the period mentioned in
.the. Cabinet discussion there.:was anything
suggested or said about using force do order
to bring about a settlement of the question
at issue.
r Manager - BUTLER objected4for the rea
son that it was covered by the riding, and
the. Senate sustained the objection by 'a
vote of eighteen to twenty, ,
- Mr. Welles, on cross=exammation,, said
he had received but one commission as See
rotary of the Navy, which was Abraham
Lincoln's:. Called of the President Feb
ruary WA, before twelve o'clock. The
nomination of. Mr. Ewing was then made
out. He testified yesterday Mr. Stanbery
had an engagement at the Supreme Court
at twelve o'clock, but it was only his infer
ence. Does 'riot know why officers under
General Einory's • command were called
from a party to go to headquarters. Did not
hear it was to warn them not to go to amas
querade. Does not, know whether he stated
to the President anything but that officers
were called for, and that the War Depart-
Ment was unusually lighted up.
Edgar Welles, a son of the Secretary,
Chief Clerk in the Navy Department, VMS
the next witness for the defence. He cer
tified to the form of commission for navy
agenp, and then stated what he heard at'
the; Nrtli te4thLlif eqhni4loAW to his
father the same niglit. The lady of the .
house told him about the call for officers to
go to headquarters. ,
Mr. EVARTS then stated the counsel had
in attendance the Secretary of the Treasnry,,,
Secretary of State, Secretary of the Interior

Alexander Randall, Postmaster General,
was then called and, testified that ,Foster
Blodgett was removed from the office of
postmaster at Augusta, in consequence of a
complaint -in. writing of misconduct. He
produced the papers and letters which.
effeeted the removal. - ,
Mr. EVARTS offered them in evidence.
!Mana,ger BUTLER objected, unless the
cotripinint!'were fftSo...fileti;:but afterwards
partly" Withdrew ' the 'Objection and the
papers were read. The President appoint
ed Blodgett with the consent of the Senate.
Witness suspended him under the practice
of the department and the law of necessity.
Witness did not allege any particular stat
ute in defense of:his. action. Commurdeai
ted it to - the President; did it without con
sultation with him. Suspended Blodgett
on hearing - of his misconduct , from
the District Attorney, and on seeing his
indictment for perjury, &a. Did not id;
dude a copy: of the indictment in papers
lic . jekincedi because Atazllld 'not: know It
would'berequired;liiit cocild'ilciab. Gave
Blodgett no means of defending himself by
intimation that he would be suspended,
but did• so on the ground of indictment.
The, ease let; neaterTkeen reported to the.
Senate. Had hot appointed- hundreds , of
men who could not take the test oath, nor
one. that;lie is aware of. Did not inquire
„whether ; the' men who brought the indict
iiiinfwere Unionists. It was not hiskasi
ness. He dealt with the simple fact.
`Senator MERMAN siffiniftted the inter
rog. atories whether the question of the ap
plicability of the Tenure-of-Office to Mem
bers appointed by Mr. Lincoln ever-came
before the Cabinet for discussion, and if so
what the opinions were? .
Several ofs the. objected that
'din slain question had-al lettiV‘ beentnled
inadmissaple, and the yeas and nays being,
taken resulted 20 to 26. So the question`
was not allowed, tg;turanawered. •

NEw YORK - , April 19.—The Press 13an
(pet to Charles Dickens. at Dehnonco's
last evening, was a very pleasant and en
joyable affair. As early as four o'clock the
members of the press begin to. arrive. and
foremost among them was the .-President
for the occasion, Hon'. Horace 'Greeley. At
!fix o'clock the: parlers. were comfortably
filled with representatives of jour
nalism from various parts,of the
country;'comprising many of he most
prominent in political and literary la
bors. Two hundred and five seat tad been
Provided at the eight. _tables, all, of which
were occupied except' one, alloted to Thur

It- was ascertained, soon 'after the hour
appointed' for the reception, that Mr.
Dickens had been suffering from 'a severe
attack 'of indisposition . his—lodgings.
About seven o'clock -he appeared, leaning
on the arm bf friend, and,was visibly suf
fering from some -temporary ilhiefo. In
view of this fact all idea of a formal recep
tion was abandoned, and Mr. Dickens soon
after passed into the dining hall and the
company followed.
During the demolition of an elaborate
repast an excellent band in an •adjoining
room poured its softened harmony over the
occasion. ,

About nine o'clock the President rose
and addressed the assemblage, concluding
as follows: "Friends and fellow-laborens:
We honor °twelves to-nlght in hoz e to: ss
the most successful, thoroughly suc
literary man -,of our, .times, one whom we
may proudly say is not ashamed of having
come - up, as most of us have come rip,lrom
the lower mini& of the ladder of the Immo,
and thougb,none of ns have reached ,anch,
fk.itsdiliktos4Ossi , atnitte 4 attAidedesilliatUsie
alga. -of -hope. . and. encouragement to
every - one of us. (Cheers.) We
are each successful in his triumph.
We are each, in seeing in What he has
done, how noble, how worthily he has done,
taught the road to• our own success. He
has preached the'ipspel of humanity until
even nobles and kings have liatened in ad
miration. In this success we have encour
agement to every one of us to go up higher,
-for there has been created a public, if there
was not thirty years ago a public. There
has been created a public ready and eager
to - listen to it. lt is the noblest and most
humanizing thought; which the best of us
is prepared now to put before this public.
Friends and fellow-laborers: As I am to set
you an example to-night with a short
speech, I will, without further prelude, ask
you to join me in this sentiment : Health
and happiness, honor and - generous; be
cause just, recompense to our friend and
guest, Charles Dickens. [Great applause
and three cheers for Charles Dickens.]
When the applause had subsided, Mr.
Dickens responded in an extended address.
In the course of his remarks lie alluded to
the feelings elicited among . Americans
by the unfavorable opinions express
ed in his "American Notes" and
Chuzzlewit. " He was delighted to
witness the improvement in the social,
moral and national condition - of the coun
try, as seen during this his last visit. In the
works referred to he had given his
honest impressions at that, time. He
then said, though the report pre
vailed that it• was his intention to
write another book on America,
it was fella, ah it was his firm determina
tion not to write another work on that sub
ject. On his return to England he should,
in his own journal, publish his present
impressions upon. Americiitwkd do justice
to the people of this country . -He pledged
himself that so long as he or his hearers had
any interest in the edition of "Martin Churn
zlewit" and "American Notes," those books
should 'contain an appendix refuting any
aspersions therein contained. He paid. a
high compliment to the energy, enterprise
and talent which, characterizes American
journals,iind wished his hearers all pros
perity and happiness, closing by invoking
all-blessings upon them for their fraterna
kindness towards him.
At the conclusion of Mr. Dickens' speech
the assembly- broke ferth in loud cheers
which, ere again and again repeated, every
person present.being •on his feet,'and the
,waving of handkerchiefs and vehement
gesticulations presenting an indescribable
scene of enthusiastic animation.,. The band

forth the ordinance passed by Council, and
the fact that it was regularly signed, pub-
Railed, and recorded, and that he '('as well
as others) confidently expected- that the
