Senator SUMNER'S esolution censuring
-Mi.• Nelson Came up.
After Mr. NELSON had made some re
marksdisavowing any intentional disre
spa" ct Mi. the . Senate; "but -ridmitt . ing he re
ferred to a duel,
Senator JOHNSON moved to lay the res
.
elution on the table,•which was agreed to
-35 to 10.
Senator CAMERON'S order' for n night
session was considered.
- Senator SUMNER offered to amend by
making the hours from ton o'clock to six.
On motion of Senator TRUMBULL, the
, whole subject was tabled-32 to 17.
Mr. EVARTS resumed his argument.
He held that it was a grave reproach upon
the wisdom and foresight of the framers of
our GoVernment to claim that a decision in
favor, of the President would result in
monarchy. In his view the danger was to
another of the balances of the Constitution.
namely: the relations of the weight of
numbers, equality of States irrespective
of population. From the principles of the
Constitution and utterances of the foremost
distinguished statesman, it was evident
that to make the Senate executive instead
of advisory, was to rob the people's major
ity of their rightful power. In this manner
the smalland thinly populated States would
cputrol the working of the Government.
against the will of those who cast the over--
whelming majority of votes, and the Pres=
idential election would become a farce. In
support of this position he quoted from writ
ings of the elder Adams, Roger Sherman
' and others, and enforced it by considering
various emergencies which might arise un
der the Tenure-of-Office act, which makes
certain offices permanent and renders re
moval during the session of the Senate dif
ficult if not impracticable. He proceeded
to quote from debates in the Senate, when
the bill was' under consideration, the len,
gunge of Williams, Howard and others
to show its effect was to revolutionize
the practice of the government, and
~-quoted an expression to the effect that...
while the legislative construction had littie
weight; 7e!-thedecisions of constitutional:"
questions by tke supreme laws were au,'
thorities. ,Mr Evarts contended, however,
'that the decisions of the Congress . of 1789
were not only authoratiire, - because con
firmed by the Supreme Court, but carried
immense weight of themselves. He re
ferred to the debates of 1789 as exhaustive
of the subject of the power of removal, and
claimed that the point at issue, was
settled and firmly established then
by:the_ framers of our .Government
and by the practice of successive adminis
trations afterwards. He also^ referred to
Mr. 'Webster's declaration, in 1835, that the
qriestion was'settled in the endorsement of
President Jackson's removal of Duane,
by the people, the superior_ power of all.
In regard to the suggestion that the Con
gress of 1789 was influenced by the high
confidence in. President Washington, Mr.
Evarts asked if it were' not possible that
the present Congress had been influenced
in an opposition by its opinions on the
incumbent Preaident7 , He read from
various contemporaneous writers to show
the importance of that , the question was
deeply felt at the time, and that the effect
of the decision reached in 1789 was
thoroughly understood. He claimed that
the recent law had been in direct contra
vention of the doctrine and practice of the
Government for eighty years, and baying
in itself no binding effect on construing the
Constitution, doubts as to its constitution-
alit} - might naturally arise in the mind of
the President, for - which he could not right
fully be impeached.
I Referring to his argument of yes
terday respecting the right and
power of the President- to resist unconstii
ttitiontialbiars, sons to-bring them before the
Supreme Court, he, read from debates on
the fugitive slave law, in 1852, the lan
guage of Mr. Sumner, in which he quoted
and endorsed President Jackson's declara
tion, that each Department of the Govern
ment-iiiiathelightto Indict the
of Ale, acts, in junetdres not
already covered by Supreme Court de-. eisions. To dismiss and depose the Presi
dent for an attempt tp maintain the supre
macy of the, Constitution, moved him to
make him tbe victim of Congress and a

in sarcastic terms to the language and con-.
duct of the champion of propriety and de
corum in the cause, and said as lie, Mr.
Butler, had claimed the practice of this tri
buiiariiai a stattidaid; he read from
a certain debate some time ago. It appear.;
edthat Mr. Sumner had called the Piesi-
dent tho_enemy , of his countri, and in
.dtdied In farther invective which the &M
-ate almost unttnimonsldeclared wos
able and not out Of order. [Laughter,' In
Illustrittion of the - Congress - tonal standard
Of propriety and license of speech, Mr.
Everts also read the language, of Messrs.
Bingham and Butler in flu_ House when
they accused each other of various crimes
when the subject under debate was charity
to, the South. He then recited the Apostle s
description of charity. [During all this por
tion of his speech he was frequently 'inter
rupted by peals of laughter.] He also re
ferred to the expression of Mr. Boutwell;
sharscterizing the positions of Cabinet offi
cers as serf-like, and argued at some length
that the President, although deficient in
rhetoric, had said nothinz half so shocking
to taste and propriety as had been coun
tenanced in the writings and speeches of
the Managers and others in officialposition.
He then took up the Emory article, but
gave it very brief attention, saying it mer
ited cuwreefy any, and passed to the articles
charging conspiracy. He ridiculed the idea
cif there being any suggestion of conspiracy
in the recommendation of the President to
General Thomas, when g,iving him his
commission, to uphold the Constitution
and laws. ..Just as much hidden meaning
was in the words as in chops and tomato
sauce. But he claimed there was no appli
cation to this ease of the laws under
which the articles are drawn. No
proof was adduced of the employment
of force or use of threats. Lie fur•
ther combatted the _position of Mr.
Boutwell, that the common law reached the
case. In relation to the articles setting forth
the appointment of GeneraU Thomas, he
argued that ad interim appointments do not
result upon the constitutional provisions
relative: to permanent appointments, but
was - controlled by the legislative enact
meths of 1795 and . 1893. which he claimed
f ully. warranted the President's action.. Ad
vancing substantially the same arguments
on this point as those presented by Messrs.
Curtis and Groesbeck,.• he said further
that oven if the President was not acting
under the law; he committed no penal of
fense,'for they provided no penalty, and
the most that could be •said would be he
was not supported by positive law, and that
General Thomas could not hold his office.
At this p0int,,4:20, Mr. Evarts stated it
would take him about an hour to finish,
and the. court and Senate adjourned.

and Sinter was resumed thilt morning. At
the suggestion of Judge Brornwell the pro
ceedings against Casey , were discontinued
and the prisoner discharged. Mr. Jones,
one of the counsel for Burke, deliv
ered an argunient • for the ° defense.
He praised' the talents and - culture of
the prisoner. He urged the great disad;
vantage under whichßurke labored of hav

Clerkenwoll conspiracy trial, where, prac
tically, he had already been convicted, al
though there he had no opportunity to exam
ine the witnesses who testified against him,
or to produce witnesses in his defense. Mr.
Jones then thoroughly sifted the evidence
for the Crown and concluded with an elo'-
quent - appeal to the jury.
Mr. Pater, counsel for Shaw, followed.
Ho urged, the point that with the exception
of the informer Corydon, none of the Nvit,
flosses for the prosecution had testified
against his client.
Judge Bromwell delivered a charge to
the jury, who retired for deliberation, and
on their return' brought in a verdict of
guilty against Bnrke and Shaw.
In reply to the usual question of the
Court, Burke said he was content with the
verdict, though he was not a subject of the
Queen. The Judge then sentenced the
prisoner Burke .to fifteen years and Shaw
to seven years imprisonment.

The terms of the,following named Sena
tors,i expire n 1869: ' Messrs. Dixon, of
Connecticut; Hendricks, of Indiana; Mor
rill, of Maine; Sumner, of Massachusetts;
Johnson of Maryland; Conness, of Califor
iiia;.• Chandler, of Michigan; Ramsey, .of
Minnesota; Henderson, of. ssouri; Stew

sey; Morgan, of New :York; Wade, of Ohio;
Buckalew, of Pennsylvania; Sprague, of-
RhOde Island; Patterson, of, ennessee; Ed-
Inunds, of Vermont; Van Winkle, of West
Virginia; Doolittle t ....of Wisconsin. Six of
the above are Democrats and thirteen Re
publieans. • A DemoCratin successor to Mr.
Johnson, of Maryland, has already been
elected; while Messrs. Confiess, of California,
and Wade; of Ohio, both Republicans, will
have to give way for Democrats, whose
election occurred., some Wee:ks since.. One
of the Democratic Senators in the foregoing
list, Mr. Patterson, of Tennessee, will have
to vacate his seat, as Governor ,Brownlow
has been chosen in his place. So far as
elections have been actually Made, the Dem
ocrats have gained one United States Sena
.tor. But the Republicans have secured the
Legislature of Connecticut, which will give
them the Senator from that State, and makes
the loss and gain exactly • equal up to the
present time. In the States yet to choose
Senators, the Republicans will unquestion
ably gain one member in Wisconsin, giving
Doolittle a chance to nurse his Johnism
at home. • Hendricks, of Indiana, and Buck
alew, of Pennsylvania, two Democratic
members of the preent Senate, will do well
to retain their seats after '1869. The Re
publicans will elect one if not both of the
successors to these gentlemen.
Republican 'Senators are certain to be
chosen from Maine,. Massachusetts, Michi-.
gan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, Rhode
Island and. Vermont. There, is a chance
for the Democrats to gain one Senator in
New York and another in New Jersey, and
perhaps a bare possibility they will succeed
in West Virginia. It is \ hardly within the
range of probability that the Republicans
should lose more than three in the States hay-,
ing to fill vacancies in 1869, and there is full'
as great a likelihood of their gaining as los
-Ing three Senators. As other States are ad
mitted to Congress from the South, their
members will increase the Republican ma
jority in the Senate, which promises to be
as large from the loyal States during 1869
as it has been for the past two years, even
if Southern Union Senators are left Out of
the count. From these facts it will be
seen how. .unreasonable it is to expect any
change in the policy • of reconstruction, as
the Republicans cannot for many years, by.
any possible succession of adverse circum
stances, be dislodged from the control of
`he,highest branch of Congress.
A New IMieaw
fEntis Correspoildene of the :ht. Y. Tlmea.]
'Diectiei (deirolirjfe) H ls'dlatocered
and just described, for the first time, a new
disease, and as there is no method of con
veying it so rapidly to scientific men as
through the'columns of a widely circulated
daily paper, I consign its description here.
It is a disease he has, only seen in children
and very strong persons, and is certainly fa
tal when left alone. It consists in an en
largement of the muscles, accompanied with
a general paralysis; two conditions quite
contrary-to each other, and heretofore re
garded as impossible. He calls the disease
pseudo-hypertrophic paralysis, or myseleros
lc paralysis. The disease commences with
a feebleness 'and an unsteadiness in the
movements, and is therefore a paralysis from
the start. The muscles then begin to de
velop out of all proportion, and with this
abnormal development the paralysis in
creases till death ensues. The enlargement
generally commences in the muscles which
form the calf of the leg, and about a year
after the commencement of the paralysis.
To detect the histological character of the
disease, Dr. Duchenne has-invented a hor
rid little instrument, which- lie calls with
justice an emporte•piece, and by means of
which he obtains specimens of the muscles
for inspection under the microscope. < It is
a small trocar, with a guillotine in it; which
he opens and shuts after plunging it into the
centre of a muscle. He finds that in the
first stages of the disease the thickening is
caused by a deposition of fibroid matter,
which, curious to relate, is not found alone
in the enlarged muscles, but in all the mus
cles of the body; and that in the latter stages
of the disease there is a fatty degeneration.
The disease can only be cured in the stage
which precedes the enlargement of the mus
cles, and the remedies are famdization, hy
dropathy and massage.
A Curious and Valuable Invention.
- - , •
A now and singular method of utilizing
the forces of air and water has just been
patented in Illinois, and applied to the pro
pulsion of vessels in Michigan. The inven
tion is founded on the well-known laws of
atmospheric pressure, by wnich a column
of water can be sustained at a height of
thirty-three feet.
The inventor employs steam instead • of
air, thus gaining ..a great increase in the
force of pressure, and his idea was origi
nally to furnish an endless water power in
places where only a limited amount of wa
ter can be obtained—that is, by using the
same water over and over—the cost of the
steam used in condensation being only one
third the cost of attaining equal power by
the use of the ordinary steam engine.
There is one of these machines in operation
at Batavia, Illinois, which makes twenty
strokes per minute, raising two :barrels of
.water into the reservoir at each stroke.
From the reservoir it falls unon an over-
shot wheel, or may be made CO pass into a
turbine wheel, and thence into, a cistern
below, from which it is again raised by-the
same agency. The, experiments with this
curious apparatus show a saving of two
thirds of the fuel used in the ordinary ap
plication of steam, besides doing away en
tirely with the danger of explosions.
The invention as, improved by a Michi
gan man consists in the application of the
process to . the propulsion of steamers and
prepollers-4he over-shot wheel, with
'steamboat paddles of the usual sort being
attachtlld in the fonder Class of vessels and
:the :turbine wheel, connected with pro
peller blades, in thelatter. It is claimed
the inventor that he will need to carry
in his elevattid reservoir no mare than is
useallk , carried: in, steamboat boilers on
the ol pArt, while he diatomic* with the
Cumbrous and, complicated engines en*
"be 'can attain any „required
polvetc4hat he can 'greatly diminish the
risks of fire as wellasexplosiOns,•faxinuc
as the water carried in the reservoir can be
by mints of , hose pipes.

Initiating a - Candidate Into the Gel
plars.
The method of initiating a candida into
the Good Templars is but a slight improve
ment upon the slime programme so lig in
vogue by the ancient and honorable !frater
nity of the "Sons of Malta." A chat who
,
was taken from a-lager beer saloon; : - here
he got light - without knowing that " lager
would intoxicate, was put through al ourse
of cold water treatment by the Good
dtlTem
piers a few evenings sin. He neac es on
the Temphirs and gives the following expose
of theirmitiation ceremony, for whip, no
doubt, he . will be put through another purse
of cold . water "sprouts" at the next! meet
ing- of the lodge. In the first place the vic
tim for initiation is blindfolded,lbount.hand
`and foot, and thrown into a cider pre4s and
pressed for five or ten minutes. This is
done for the purpose of clearing his system
of "olddrinks." He is then taken; tit of
the cider press and by means of. -force
-pump gorged with cistern water, afteovhich
a sealing plaster is put over his month and
he is rolled in a barrel four or fivii times
across the room, the choir at the siren time
singing the cold water song. ! i
. He is now taken out of the barrel and
hung up by the heels till the water rims out
through his ears. He is than cut di and
a* beautiful young lady hands him a' lass of
cistern water. A cold woter,bathls then
furnished him, after which he is showered
with cistern water. He is then made to
read the water works acts ten times,'drink
ing a glass of cistern water between each
reading, after which the old
bung around his neck, and fifteen sisters oaken'ucket
is ,
13
with squirt - guns deluge him witlOcistern
'water. - He is then forced to eat ; a iteck of
snow, while the brothers stick his - efirs full
of icicles. He is then run through a lothes •
wringer, after which he is handed a lass of
water bY a young lady. lie is the again
gorged with cistern water, and his boots
filled with the same, and he is laid olway in
a refrigerator. The initiation is . ow al
most concluded, After remaining! in
in the
rekigemtor for the space of half a hour,
he is taken out and given a glass ofAistern
water, run through, a , crothes-wrin r; and
becomes a Good Templar. .
Propagation of Minks. 1
We are prepared to believe that there is
scarcely anything but what can larl turned
to account, since we have ascertained- that
there is a minkery in full blast in Chautau
gua county, N. Y., of sufficient ii4e to ac
commodate one hundred of these ithimals.
The arrangements are very simple. The
nest of the female is peculiarly constructed
of grass, leaves or straw, with a lining of
her own fur so firmly compacted together
as to be only with'difficalty torn pieces: \
About the middle of March the.females are
separated from the males until the young
are reared. The necessity for flits .arises
from the fact that the males seems ; inclined
to brood the young almost as much as the
dam, when both are - permitted to rdmain to
gether.
The expense of feeding the aninlals is al
most nominal, being supplied pretty much
entirely from the usual offal of the farm .
yard, with occasional woodchucks kid game
in general. They eat this food with equal
avidity. after decomposition has tak'n place,
devouring every particle of flesh, !'cartilage
and the softer bones. While thdl expense
of keeping is thus trivial, the profitible yield
of the animal is comparatively imihense, it
being considered a moderate estimate to
claim that one mink with her incrbase will
equal the avails of a cow. Should! this cal
calation hold good when, the propagation of
the mink is carried to a large scaleilthe busi
ness becomes one -of the most profitable in
the world. So far,
experience with the un
ddmesticated mink has not been satisfactory,
as their shyness cannot be overcame, and
they have never obtainrd any inctase from
the animals'in their wild state. hey have
to be taken when young and donlestleated.
It is unnecessary to state that the aroval
liable only - for their fur.
Thaddeus Stevens. !i
When it is remembered- that - haddeus
Stevens is one of the members of Congress
singled nut by the President as a ' 9 rget for
his especial abuse before 'the, people, the
calm dignity of .his , argument before the,
Court of Impeachment, is inde!ed to be
wondered at. And when to theract of his
bitter provocations are added tha power of
fierce invective which is so terriblft to his ad
versaries, and that intense earnestness
which characterizes the mand it 'seems
strange that Mr. Stevens was able to refrain
from pouring out berore the Siinate those
passionate utterances which would have
been the natural expression of the indig,na
tion and scorn with which he 'hornet but
regard the "distinguished respon4ent," now
arraigned at the bar of the Senalk.
• But Thaddeus Stevens is an-did man, an
accomplished lawyer, a true phiriot and a
sound statesman. He has brouglit all of his
extraordinary vitality into this splendid ar
gument, and while here and there his
trenchant n4tive humor and withering sar
casm flash out with all their 4, onted bril
liance, the speech itself is a calffi thought
ful, very earnest and very able flicuision of
the'great question involved la !the trial of
the President. It will be read till oSer the
land, and clearly ritiderstcol iby all who

tion with it to all horiest'rolndi., and leaves
