TICE CHASE stated the first business was
the order offered for consideration yester
diy .by Senator Grimes, that the hour for

The order was adopted-L2l against 13.
Senator EDMUNDS offered an order to

Thirty-riiiith Congrehs, Mr. Nelson pro
; ceeded to consider the Articles of Impeach

.i • ' .be. c would maintain three propositions,
namely : That the Tenure-of-O ffi ce law is ',
void. If it is not, Mr. Stanton's case is not
• covered by it, and that even if it is t fal
and applicable, the President is not g
of crime, because he acted from a laudable
motive.
motive. He quoted mat great length from
4. the debates on the formation of ' the
i Constitution and on the passage of
i , the act of 1789, and from numer
] our legal- authorities, to show that
f the question ;of the-President's power
of removal was definitely settled by the ac
lion of Congress at that time, and claimed
i • therefore ,he had grounds' for honestly
1 forming the opinion. on which he •
acted,
' from the - Constitutional requirement that
the Attorney General is to furnish the Prea-
I ident with opinions in writing,and the
• _ fact that such opinions are collected and
' , bound; bye the authority of Congress, Mr.
Nelson argued they have a quasi authorita - -
i 'Live character for the President's action.
• He then cited a large number of opin
ions of various Attorney Generals since the
formation of th e Government, in which they
- plate the same construction on the In of
• 1798, and express the same views regard
; lig the" power of 'removal as , President
' -Johnson. - Ite referred '`also to' the 'opinion '
of Mr. Jefferson ' to the action of President -
.' -•;- Jaeksoir, and - to that of the Senate in ex
punging its resolution of censure on him,
and then, rocapitulatingthe authorities and
precedents, for-Mr. Johnson's-course and
policy, insisted that the presumption of
honest intent wasclearly made out. - -
He - next considered the **Akin that Con
gress has by implication • superior power
to the executive, and maintained that no.
gthaterpowers were. granted in that way to
the legislative than to the executive branch
;, -;of. the Government. , • , k

interview Was evil. Considering the tenth
article, he claimed it was based on the
principles which underlie the sedition law,
which, Aver. eine° its Passate,frad stunk in
the nostrils of tin) American people. He
held the President had followed the exam
ple of certain members of Congress in
disregarding the amenities of expression,
and was excusable for using strong lan
guage in reply to the abuse which had been
heaped upon him. Mr. Nelsen insisted
that the preservation of the right of freedom
of speech was indispensable to maintain
our liberties.
After abrierconsideration of the eleventh
article, which he said was sufficiently an
swered by his remarks concerning the
preceding article, he referred to the charge
of Mr. Boutwell that the President wished
to control the elections in the Southern
States, and asked how that.could be possi
ble With the officers designated by Congress
in command and exerting control over all
that region.
In conclusion he reminded the Senate
that trouble and confiscation had usually
followed the exercise of revolutionary or
constitutional power In the deposition of
Kings and Rulers of the people, and implor
ed them to so perform the high duties now
devolving upon them as to merit the ap
probation of their conscieum, their country
men and their God; "

LONDON, April 24.—The bud‘get intro- -

TRIAL OF cumicENWELL .FENIANS.
Losnox, April 24=Erening.—The trial of
the • Fenian prisoneri accused Of having
caused the explosion in Clorkenwell, was
resumed this morning. After the exam-
ination ,of a few more witnesses, whose
testimony was merely corroborative of
that already given, the case for the
prosecution was rested. Mr. Williams,
counsel for O'Keefe, moved for the
entry of a voile 'prosequi in the ease of
his client. Mr. Straight argued that none
of the proof adduced by the prosecution'
connected his client, Timothy Desmond,
with the Fenian plot. Messrs. Keogh and
Green also spoke at length for their clients,
English and Barret. Mr. Green was quite
certain Barret was not implicated in the
remotest degree in the Clerkenwell
He sifted the- evidence against -his
client, :showing- a" mass 'cif contraaic
tions.. Be, would prove Barret • was - lit

on which the explosion occulted. A shoe
maker of that city, named Mcilauglity, had
already sworn he saw him on tlie 11th, 12th
