' , . Senator SUMNER favored a recess on the gilnind that it would be beneath the digni ty of the Senate to continue to transact bus iness. with the President of the United: States. He had always felt it unbecoming, in the Senate to transact business with the Preildent Whild he was onr trial' high crimes and misdemeanors. The President might go !forth. nominally acquitted; but he would gb forth a blisted public function ary. That was his inevitable destiny. -But until acquittal was entered on the record, the Senate Would consult its own character by abstaining from any further interchange of messages between Con gress dnd the 'Presidiint.- - For 'this reason he favored a recess. Senator MORTON thought it rather late in the day tqact on that idea, having gone on transacting business with the President. ; Senater'XA.T.Witts oppoled`tOia"recess, beCa - u - Selib'sfanted inorelaills' for tbe pro teetion of humanity and liberty to be pre sented to the President for his action be tween now and the tinal vote on the articles of impeachment. Senator WTI SON opposed a recesson the same general grounds as Senator Nye did. Senator DOOLITTLE favored 'a recess. SENATOR itENDEASON AND MS CONSCIENCE Senator HENDERSON took Senator Sumner to account for reflection on the President. If nothintt else should cause Senators to abstain from such remarks, a decent sense of self-respect should restrain them. No associate had a right, either in the Senate or Court, to reflect on the con duct of any other Senator. No man had ar. higher respect for his constituents than., himself, but his constituents could not en, lighten him rev the question of impeach; went. It was it matter for his own con -L science, and nothing could ever drive him from the performance of his duty. If lita constituents disapproved of his conrse, was in their hands, and they might do with him as the wished; but ho was not to be: told by his party to turn his back on law' and justice. It „was no use to ,try., to make iripeactimentlt party qua stioh.T. It was no party question, and the moment the part , should pat itself in the position that its members mast purjure them - selves, that party would and, ought to crumble in tit, dint; TorIRS own.part, he regretted the• subject of impeachment had ever been bronght into the Senate, and ho believed hover ought to have been. He thought, as lorg.as the President was not convicted it, would not injure them to Benda bill to him.' Maas =Asa. Tnacturs Almon. Senator DRAKE asked if any Sen ator had assailtd his colleague for his course in the Court of impeachment? _ Several Senators—No one. ' Senator HENDERSON enquired when his colleague had become the guardian of his character? 'Senator DRAKE 'replied that 'hero and elsewhere he', considered himself in duty bound to defend it when assailed. ' Senator MORTON.raiised the question of, older that it was improper to assail Sena: tors for voting one way or the other. Senator. DRAKE suggested when that, Senator called another to order he Jihould do it at the time the disorderly words are spoken, and not take;tho floor from a Sen ator speaking in order. He expressed his surprise that his colleague, Senator Hen derson, under the supposition that some general aspersion bad been made upon the seven Senators:who bad voted for acquittal, had been called upon immediately to defend, himself from that aspersion. Senator HENDERSON painted out that a remark had been -made deprecating inter course with "this great criminal whom he. Senator hati'voted to avinit." ? ISM OWN. ACCUSER. Senator SUMNER disclaimed any allu• sion to the Senator in that remark; but said: Listenlpg to the Senator, he will par don me if I say:that I was reminded of a proverb which seems to me to be very ap ertoirirceserror-be-pnoyouLed it. 4 Whito •sO.. estaums, liblitelf accuses himself.'• The swiftness with which he rushed to seltdefedad brotigift to my 'rind this ancient maxim.

Mr. MAYNARD inquired whether it was a question ofprivilege? The SPEAKER replied: The gentleman from Wisconsin has so presented it. After examining the paper I ,31nd the gentleman does nO - charge corrupt prposes,hut recites the words of the letter. Therefore, in the. the Chair, as the letter did not embody any corrupt offer, the resolution was not a question of',"privilege; but ho would Stibmit the miestion to the decision of the House. - Mr. ELDRIDGE said he was" desirous those Missouri members' sliouldlie either exculpated or convicted, as the facts might warrant: • Mr: BLAINE inquired whether it Was in order to move that the paper be not receiv ed? .

Mr. BENJAMIN said the resolution of Mr. Eldridge not having been received as a question of privilege, an impression might gm abroad that this disposition of the resolution;was at the instance of the Mis souri delegation who signed the letter which bad,been read. at - the Clerk's desk. He was-not satisfied that such an impres sion should be made for himself, and he believed he also"spoke for his colleagues. They desired the fullest investigation into alltheTacta in relation - to the matter men tioned, and they asked that a special Committee of the House be appointed for the purpose.
