The OtitEF JUSTICE—The motion that

Senator NYE said he had enough expe
ence in this body to know it was nseles4 TO
oppose an adjournment for a week, a day,
or an' hour..- He thbught the President
would be able to take care of himself, with
his new recruits. He thought a little ern:-

Unprofitable. Let.Askansas come in today.

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.

rushed to seltdefedad brotigift to my 'rind

Senator SUMNER weni on to repeat his
wrgomentt - Oat it would be lunbecoming in
the Senate to interchange messages, "&c.,

taken on ne article, butthere are ten to be

does nO - charge corrupt prposes,hut recites
the words of the letter. Therefore, in the.

A MISSOIntr MENDER SPEAKS.
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. There wei.e other facts
within his knowledge,
and_ others which
would enter largely into the, privileges of
the Senator. They would'not interpose any,
obstacles, but render every aid in their
power which the House or the Committee
might request. They desire there should
be a full Investigation and that all the facts
should go to the.country. They knew they
had nothing to, fear. They had neither
done or said anything dishonorable or

The hero of Appomatox is to-day more en

principled intrigue which the traitors have
attempted to organize against him.

of Wade the second Delegates
seem to concur in the duty of laying for
mer preferences aside, and administering, by
this selection, - the most effective rebuke to
the traitors.. .
The - - Pennsylvania delegation are • not
heikrtily united in favor of Cintin, and the
seats from several of their districts are to be
cOntested. • . ,
The Soldiers' Convention also promises to
be a marked success. Its attendance will be
full and enthusiastic.• Its marked reproba
tion will be pronounced on Ross, the nnfaith
ful Kansas Senator, as the only Union sol
dier in. Congres& who has betrayed . his
principles.
The indignation among the Republican
delegates is deep and uncompromising
against FEssElinEri,. TRUMBULL and their
co-plotters and tools.- They are universally
find unsparingly denounced i The Conven
tion will not falter in its duty of condemna
tion, reiterating its opinion of treason in
every department of the Government. The
signs are cheering and hopeful. P.

The following statement is'Predicated on
information derived from highly' respecta
ble sources: It is generally knkrwn here
that some of the members, if. .not, all, of
President Johnson's cabinet, have.signifted i
their willingness to retire froth office, and
hence there is much specullttion on '
that subject. Prominent gent Omen of
both parties in conversation p recently
have agreed in the :: sentinient' that
much of the trouble between t Congress
and the President springs from i the llefect
in the Executive administration under our
present form of government, and: that if
the ministry here, as in Englthid, would
retire and give place to one in Accordance
• with the expressed will of the i pecride, we
should have had peace long ago. Memn
struction under the President's plan having
been rejected, it is now thought by Con
gressmen of both pax ties that he; will agree
to admit Southern re,precantatiVea.in any
way practicable in order' hat it? may have
no effect on their judgment An passing
on the articles ofimpeachment.. It is
9
said if impeachment had 1-. not been
pending there is little doubt , that
a •new Cabinet would long ranee have
been designated, composed_of the Most dis

It should not, therefore create ; surprise if
