THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2 , 7. 11368
Tux desire appears to be general that Hon.
Wm. - A. Wallace, Chairman of the State
Central Committee, should be one of the
delegates at large from Pennsylvania to the
'National Democratic Convention. His faith
party services have endeared him to the
Democracy everywhere, and we doubt if
there is another gentlenian in•the State who is
so generally and deservedly popular. We do
not know whether Mr. Wallace will permit
his name to be used, but if he does, the young
Democracy will sustain him with a zeal
such as few men in Pennsylvania could se
cure.
THE NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.
When we wrote our article last week, an
nouncing the rejection of the impeachment
project of the Committee to which it was
submitted, we Ifttlsupposed that before our
paper had reached many of its readers, the
movement would again be revived, and sum
marilyhastened through the House, with the
endorsement of the very same Committee
which but a few days lirCVlOll3 had'dismis
sed it as unworthy of consideration. Events
moveivith astonishing rapidity in these days,
and among the notable incidents of the age
none will produce more angry controversy
at the present, or be more sharply criticised
in the future, than the inconsistency displayed
by the dominant party in Congress on this
subject
We give in another place full particulars
of the exciting-events in Washington which
have set the whole nation in a ferment, and
bid fair before they are ended to involve us
in- difficulties beyond the foresight of the
most intelligent A carefill analysis of the
proceedings will show that all the froth and
fury expended by the Radicals is simply a
repetition of the old farce of " Much Ado
shout Nothing." The President's course, as
he states, was merely actuated by a desire to
get the "Tenure of Office" bill before the
Courts, so that the much 'disputed question
of its constitutionality might lie authorita
tively and finally settled. The plan he adop
ted was the only one •it was possible tier
him to pursue, and we ...have fallen upon a
pretty state of affairs indeild when the coun
try has reached such, a stage that the highest .
officer in the land cannot avail himself of the
privilege of having a law which he believes
to be unconstitutional tested in a judicial
manner. Had the President desired to AV -
core possession of the War fillice by force,
Gen. Thomas would not have gone twice to
ask for possession. A mere order front Mr.
Johnson to Gen. Grant to eject Stanton would
have
. compelled the Generol to perform that
duty or render himself liable to court martial
for disobedience to the order of his superior.
-The cool and deliberate manner in which the
President and Gen. Thomas proceeded„con
vincis us that the entire object of the
President was and is as he represents it.
The arrest of Gen. Thomas under the Tenure
of office act will open the way for bringing
the matter before the Supreme Court, and
therefore was no doubt desired by the Pres
ident and the General. • This being the pur
pose aimed at by the President; the country
must and will justitY him in his peaceable ac
tion to recover his lawful authority, as soon as
it has had time to compose itself, and men
have settled down into calm and careful re
flection.
On the other hand the intemperate haste
and fury of Congress equally indicate that it
is resolved not to allow the question to re
ceive a fair judicial consideration. It is well
known that when the Tenure of office hill
was on its passage, most of the best lawyers
of Congress pronounced it unconstitutional,
and voted to defeat it. Mr. Stanton himself,
who was then:on congenial terms with the
President, was among_ its bitterest enemies,
and the statement has often been made, with
out contradiction, that he furnished most of
the leading points of the vets message. The
bill was under the crack of the
party lash, and for the solo reason that it was
believed to be. essential to the party interests.
These facts are well known to the whole
country, and they furnish a complete index
-to the course of Congress. That body is con
vinced that the bill will be overthrown by
the Supreme Court ; they know that its pro
visions Are unconstitutional and anti-Repub
lican ; they feel assured that the sentiment of
the people would force them to respect the
decision of the Catirt ; and hence their deter
mination not to allow the bill to goartore
that tribunal. Let the people understand
that fear and party interest alone, and \not
patriotic motives, are the basis of their coq
duct. Rather than permit one of their infa
mous acts. to meet the ordeal of judicial inves
tigation, they will overturn our system oil
government, depose the President, and_ run;
the risk of precipitating civil war upon the
country.
One finds it hard to keep his temper while
contemplating such base and outrageous pro
ceedings,'but we are so strongly convinced
that the demand; of the times requirefrom all
who lead public opinion, the exercise of the
coolest judgment and most cautious action,
that we have endeavored to bridle our natu
ral indignation; and treat them in the light of
truth and reason. A great wrong is threat
cried; a crime that, however plausible it tour
appear in the eye of the law, 6 abhorrent
tu.eve6' , ir6tinct of moral right and ju,tiLe.
For. doing his plain duty under the Constitu
tion, the President of the United States 6 to
be stricken down,- and the will of more than
one-half of the people set at defiance. It re
tuains to be seen whether the unprincipled
and vindictive demagogues who happen for
the moment to po4sess eontroloithe Govern
ment, will dare to carry their avowed scheme
to its full ant shameful accomplishment.
Andrew Johnson is not our party represen
tative, but he is the constitutionally elected
Executive of the nation, and as such entitled
to the support 1)1 every citizen who desires
the perpetuation of our Republican form of
government.. Shouli the conspirators against
the public lihertie manifebt a disposition to
.complete the work they have begun, it will
be the duty of the Democratic party to an•
uouuce iu lunpage that cannot be mi;under-
htO(KI, its, determination on the subject, and
'proceed to adopt mean 4 inr making that de
termination good.
DEMOCRATIC N•TIONAL CONVEN.

The members of the Democratic National
Convention met at Washington on Saturday,
for the purpose of selecting a day and place

The contest, was quite lively between St.
Louis, Citkeinnati, Louisville. Indianapolis,
New York and Cleveland, several of them
offering from $lO,OOO to $25,000 for the priv

midst. After several ballots, the choice nar-
Towed down to New York city and St. Louis
and was decided in favor of the former by a
vote of 17 to la—the tburth of duly being
fixed upon as the day. It is stated, that, al

Friday's Proceedings.
TN THE SENATE
About half past one o'clock on Friday, the 1
21st inst., the President's private Secretary
delivered to the Senate a message froth Mr.
Johnson, declaring that be had removed Ed
win M. Stanton from the office of Secretary
of War, and had placed Brevet Major-Gen.
Lorenzo Thomas, Adjutant-General of the
Army, in his stead until a successor shall he
appointed. An informal caucus of the Re publ i•
cans was held immediately, and an Execu
tive seq.4ion was decided upon for the pur
pose of immediate action. A committee, con
sisting of Senators Cameron, Thayer, Cattell,
and Conness was appointed to visit Secretor*
Stanton and Gen. Grant in the meantime,
and express to them the desire of the domi
•nant party its Congress. This committee im
mediately called upon Mr. Stanton, reaching
his office at about 2 o'clock. Finding him
in quiet possession of the office, they said
that it was the desire of the Congress of the
United States that he should remain firm and
unyielding in the War Department, and they
would support him. Secretary Stanton re
plied that he had received President John
son's order relieving, him front duty, but that
he eould not recognize it, unless the Senate
concurred. This satisfied the Committee,'
and after conversation with Secretary 'Stan
ton on private matters, they visited General
Grant! They found the Geueral in his office,
and in as few words as possible asked hint
what h,gurse he would take should it become
necessary for him to act. He declined t9ex
press any opinion officially, but the Com
mittee understood that he could not and
Would not recognize the President's order
regarding Stanton, should the Senate fail to
agree with the same. The Committee then
returned to the Seua,te Chamber and re
ported that Secretary Stanton would retain
his office until the S - n7te should take action,•
and that Gen. Grant would recognize Cod
gress as a portion of the Government, and
! not Andrew Johnson the sole power.
When the Committee had reported, the Sen
ate immediately, at about 2 o'clock, went
into Executive session, and began the consid
eration of the Whole subject, remaining in
session until half past nine o'clock.
MEI=
The removal soon became generally known
and the whole Capitol was thrown into the
greatest exeiternent The House from 8
o'clock until 5, presented a scene that has
not been witnessed since the war thnes,when
the news of a great victory or defeat to our
arms was announced. The current business
was generally suspended. Members gathered
in knot 4 about the floor and cloak rooms ex
citedly discussing the subject All sorts of
rumors were afloat. Prominent Radical
members sat down and wrote letters to Sec
retary Stanton to stand firm and refuse to
yield, while several Representatives left their
places and called on him in person. There
was direct telegraphic. communication be
tween the Capitol and the War Office, by
which meanaCongress was kept informed of,
matters at the latter point.
At about half past three a communication'
was received from Secretary Stanton- trans
mitting the President's order removing him,
and it was read by Speaker Colfax, as fol
lows :
WAR DEPARTMENT
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 31, 1888.
Szn—Gen. Thomas has just - delivered to
me a copy of the enclosed order, which you
will please to communicate to the House of
Representatives. Your obedient servant, .
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
To the Hon. Schuyler Colfax,_ Speaker of
the House of Representatives.
EXECUTIVE. MANSION,
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 21,'88.
Sin—By virtue of=the power and authority
vested in me as President, by the Constitu
tion and laws of the United States, you are
hereby removed from office as Secretary of
War, and your functions as such will termi
nate -upon receipt of this communication.
You will transfer to,prevet Major General
Lorenzo Thomas, Adjutant General of the
Army, who has this day been authorized to
act as Secretary of war ad interim, all rec.:
mils, books, papers, and other public proper
ty now in your custody awl charge. Re
spec t I ully yours,
Axottsw JOHNSON, President.
To the lion. Edwin M. Stanton. Washing,
ton, D. C.
This was the signal for the House to sit for
regular business on Saturday, and on Mr.
Butler's motion the resolution devoting that
day to speech-making only was rescinded,
after a call for the yeas and nays by the
Democrats. When the vote was about to be
taken, Mr. Pike, of Maine, rose and said:
"Every member :in favor of impeachment
vote yea, and those opposed no." Secretary
Stanton's communication, meantime, was
sent to the iiiiconstruction .Committee.
attempt was made by the Democrats to ad
journ, and the yeas and nays were called.
Private caucusing and comparing of notes
was still kept up by the members. The
House refused to adjourn, and the members
who are enthusiastic for impeachment im
proved the opportunity to get in a resolution
accusing Mr. Johnson of high crimes and
misdemeanors, and calling for his impeach
ment. Mr. Comte, on a privileged quesiion,
got the matter before the House, and yielded
to the motion that it be referred to the Re
construction-Committee. Tke House then,
at nearly .1 o'clock, adjourned. Many of the
members went to the Senate and remained
around the lobbies-waiting the action of that
body.
ONIINOUR OCCURRENCE
A panic was occasioned in the House dur
ing the roll-call on'the motion to adjourn, at
about 4 o'clock. Owing to the foggy weath
er, the hall had become so dark that it was
necessary to light the gas. In doing this,
one of the persons engaged lost his pOise,
and his font crashed through the heavy plate
glass through which the hall is lighted, and
the shattered fragmkits were dashed upon
the geads., of she members sitting directly
underneath. Ex-Representative Grinnell,
who sat talking with Mr. Price, of lowa, es'
taped ViimisinjurY by protecting his bead
with his hands as soon as the crash was
heard. His hands were severely cut, but his
injuries, under the circumstances, nay be
considered slight. Mr. Price escaped_ with
slight scratches.
RxEcrrirn SERMON OF THE SP.NATE
In the executive session of the Senate, Mr
Wilson, of Massachusetts, offered the follow
ing resolution:
WmEnEss, The Senate has received and
considered the communication of the Presi
dent, stating he Lad removed Edwin IL Stan
ton as Secretary of War, and has designated
, ,
the Adjutant General of Me army te_ act u
Secretary of War ad interim; therefore,
Rcsolted, , By the Senate of the Vnited
States, that ',under the Constitution and
laws of the United. States the President has
no power to remove the Secretary of War
and designate another otilcer to perform the
duties of the office.
Upon this question, declaring that the
President had no legal power to do what he
had done, the debate hinged, While tho
tlemocrats were 211 consistently on
Mr. Johnson's side, it was interesting and
surprising to observe . that several Rad
ical Senators were doubtful as to
whether the ado made at first about the
President's action was proper or not, Mr.
Fessenden; Mr. Trumbull, and, for a wonder,
Mr. Drake, of Missouri, asserted that they
were unwilling to commit, themselves against
the President's legal authority to remove Mr.
Stanton. Mr. Fessenden is understood to
have expressed his opinion that that legal
authority was unquestionable, while he sup
plemented the -opinion by saying that the
President had done "a spiteful act." 3lr.
Trumbull, who prides himself upon his pres
tige as a lawyer, decidedly objected to give
his opinion upon the strictly legal aspect of
'the case.* Messrs. Sumner, Wilson, Wade,
Howe and other Radicals talked, on the con
trary, directly against the President, the
move he had made, and everything concern
ing the matter. Approaching tbe'close of the
debate, Mr. Hendricks bore the brunt in de
fence of Mr. Johnson, Hon. Reverdy John
son, of Maryland, having previously made a
calm and powerful argument on the same side.
The extreme latter part 'of the debate was
participated in by Radical Senators alone,
and the difference as to the point *of law be
came defined between them more distinctly.
The extreme msjurity drove, the minority of
their brothers up to the - sticking polrit how
ever, and the resolutiou offered by Mr. Wil
son was at' last adopted -by a Radical party
vote, all the - Radical Senators voting in. favor
of. it except Mr. Edmonds. immediately
af
ter the' adjournment of the exerutive session
a large delegation of Congressmen waited
upon Secretary Stanton at the War Depart ,
ment, and were with, hint until after mid
night. Among those who attended were
Messrs: Bingham; 7.ttnorliead, Dawes and
Ward, and Senators Wilson, Cameron and
others. In the interview with them Secreta
ry Stanton said thatithough he was opposed
to any execution of force, still he could not
surrender possession of the Department, un
less forcibly compelled to db so.
GEN. 'THOMAS AND BTANTQN
Previous to all this-balderdash, Stanton
had beek'called upon by Adjutant General
Thomas, the new appointee. Gen. Thomas
handed Stanton in perion the President's or-
der of removal. Stanton perused it, sighed
within himself, and asked Gen. Thomas
when he intended to take possession. Gem.
Thomas said,? "I am appointed Secretary of
War ad interim, and am in rissession."
Stanton asked, whether sardonically or not
deponent (loth not say, "I suppose .1 shall
have time to remove my papers," and Gen.
Thomas responded that Mr. Stanton
would without doubt be permitted to do so,
when the two gentleinen had a little quiet
talk, and Gen. Thomas retired in his own
go(id time. Stanton remained in the War
Office all Friday night, being afraid to leave
lest he should.be unable to obtain admission
when he returned.. lie was accompanied by
a large number of .11allIcal Congressmen,who
made the contents of sundry bottles disap.
pear with astonishing rapidity. Meals were
sent in to them, and they spent what is known
in professional, parlance as a "high old time."
A friend inquired of Gen. Thomas, about 8
o'clock, what he was going to do. He said,
"I am going to take possession of the War
offtee to-morrow. My family have suggested
that these proceedings are calculated to'get
me into• trouble, but I have 'nothing to do
with such considerations. I recognize the
authority of the President as Commander-in-
Chief. I have received an order from him
and I shall obey it," The General announced
that be would promulgate orders on Saturday
to all the attachees of• the War` Department
not to obey any orders from any one connect
ed with that department, unless they came
through him, the penalty being dismissal.
Gen. Thomas' friends, many of whom are
Republicans, were in consultation with him
during the evening, and they say that he is
determined to carry out the President's de-
ME
Saturday's Proeeedtag.
ARREST OP GEN. THOMAS.
The proceedings of Saturday were ushered
in by the arrest of Gen. Thomas, Secretary
of War ad inttrim, on a warrant issued by
Justice Carter, of the Supreme Court of the
District, at the instance of Stanton, for an
alleged violation of the tenure-of-office Pill.
lie waSreleased on $15,000 bail shortly af
terwards. The affidavit of Stanton (»I :which
the warrant for the arrest of Gen. Thomas
was issueck sets forth that he (Edwin 31.
Stanton), on the 21st of February, lEuIS, held
the office of 'Sezretary of War by appoint.
ment conStitutillially made—that he had
never been legall? dismissed, and that he
now legally-holds the office—that the Presi
dent issued an order with the intent and pur
pose of removing him from the said Office,
and authorizing Gen. Thomas to act as Sec
retary of War ad interim, and immediately
enter upon the unties of the office ; that this
order is wholly- illegal and void, and contra
ry to the provisions of the tenure-of-office act;
that the said-General Thomas had accepted
the appointment and -served upon him the
order of the President; that the said Gen.
Thomas threatens to remove affiant from the
Department by force, and take control there
of; that the said Gen. Thomas, by accepting
the appointment and attempting to exercise
the duties of Secretary of War,. has violated
the filth section of.the law referred to, and is
guilty of a high . misdemeanor; whereupon
the aftlant prays for the arrest of Gen. Thom
as. and that he be brought before the Court,
to lie dealt with as the law directs. The fol
lowing is the, section of the act cited by
Stanton in the affidavit :
SEC. 5. _-tad be it further enacted, That if
any person shall, contrary to the provisions
of this act,.accept any appointmenb or em
ployment in any office, or shall hold or exer
cise, or attempt. to hold or exercise, any such
office or employment, he shall be deemed and
is hereby declared to be guilty of a high mis
demeanor, and upon trial and conviction
thereof, he shall be punished therefor by a
fine apt exceeding $lO,OOO, or •by imprison
ment not exceeding five years, or both ; said
punishments in the discretion of the Court.
STANTON KEYNES TO EVACUATE.
After his release, Thomas went to the War
Office and informed Stanton that he came to
discharge his duties as Secretary of War ad
interim. Stanton told him he could not do
it, and ordered him to his room as Adjutant
General, denying the right of the President
to interfere. After a brief colloquy, Thomas
left and visited the . . President, who said be
desirce tO see the matter legally tested. Sen
tinels pace up and doivo in front of the,idif
ferent entrances to the War Department.
The doors are all locked and orders are to
admit no one except the Secretary's friends.
Gen. Thomas appeared again at twenty min:
utes before four o'clock at the DepartinOtt,
The sentinel refused him adhlittance, saying it
was by'apecial order of Mr. Stanton. Gen.
Thonlas then left. Stallion lots not left the
'War Departinent since Friday,* his Congres
sional friends having urged him to remain
there fora reason. .
TIIF: PRI:SIDOST.IPCOURsk..
Some have it that the President will quiet
ly submit, and others assert that he will, if
there is a prospect of success, have recourse
to force. Gen. Gordon Granger. Colonel of
the 25th infantry, has been in council with
him, and Ms said will be given command of
the District if Gen. Emory proves faithless.
The Democratic members of both Houses of
Congress who are friendly to Mr. Johnson,
advise him to act with extreme caution, Its,
the asilktari power cunferred upon Gen. Grant
will be exereisod by that officer in rant of
the Radicals, regArdiess of the comeguerices.
Andrei , Johnson is a! singularly resolute
man. In the midst of the indescribable ex
citement which has been 'created, he is the
Cooleet, calmest individual of all in Washing•
ton. lie bad determined, after long and de
liberate reflection, to do the thing he has
done.
DOTEGS ES COMITIES.%
The Chaplain initiated the session of the
House by prayer; imploring God to temper
its deliberations on the expected important
question to be submitted to it. Then Mr.
Eldridge (Dem.) offered, a resolution to ad
journ in consideration of the fact that ft was
Washington's birthday. Alter much debate,
this was voted down: At two o'clock
_Mr.
Stevens, rising to a privileged question, pre
sented, amid profound silence, the report of
the Reconstruction Committee impeaching
the President for high crimes and misde
meanors, in violating the tenure-of-office act,
by removing Stanton from the office of Sec
retary of War. After the reading of it and
the resolutions, Mr. Stevens, in a few remarks,
said that he was willing that the rote should
be taken without debate ; but Mr. Brooks ob
tained the floor and proceeded to address the
House in opposition to the movement.. He
was followed by Spaulding and Bingham, of
Ohio, the latter denouncing the President as
a great criminal and demanding his impeach=
meat. It was determined to devote Monday
to discussions, and take a vote at five o'clock
on that dev. •
1193T , DRASIT STANDS.
Were anything needed to show hoW Grant
stands, we have It in the fact that he has re
moved the old guard of the War Department,
the 12th infantry,. and detailed men of his
own body guard, the sth cavalry, to do duty
Grant issued an order Friday morning call
ing-the attention of the commanders of posts
to the recent act of Congress that all orders
to the army must pass: th mugh his hands, that
Lis b'eadquarters are in that city, and that or
..ders emanating from any other source must
not be obeyed. The President has been baf
fled at every point by the military Olken,
and there is nit the faintest prospect that be
will be able, if be should feel' so inclined, to
'muster a corporal's guard of the regular ar
my to aid him in his opposition to Congress.
MEIER PARTICIMARA
Stanton directed the Postmastet of Wash
ington on Friday night not to deliver the War .
Department mails to anybody except on his
order. Thus far there has been no interfer
ence on the part of the Postmaster General.
Should any attempt be made either by hitt
or any of the other Secretaries to interfere
with or ignore Mr. Stanton, the -Reconstruc
tion Committee threaten to-bring in articles
of impeachment against the offending person.
It is said that licCulloch will not pay any
requisitions from the War Department um.
less, they are. Kigali. by Gen. Thomas. Should
he fake this course, he will be warned at
once by Congress of his impeachment, and
put on trial at the same time as the Presi
dent.
The President is in receipt of letters and
telegrams giving him assurance of approba
tion and support ; and the Republicans are
constantly being encouraged in a similar
manner to unfalteringly execute the infamous
work they have undertaken. Gov. Geary, of
this State, sent the following dispatch on
Sunday:
To Hon. Simon Cameron, e. S. Senate, Wash—
ington, D. C.:
The news to-day, created a profound sen
sation in Pennsylvania. The spirit of '6l
seems again to pervade the Keystone State.
Troops are rapidly•tendering their services
to sustain the laws Let Congress stand firm.
Jour W. GkAny.
It is stated that Gov: Swann, of Maryland,
has tendered the militia of that State for the
protection of the President, but we suspect
that there is not relish foundation in the sto
ry. Major General 'Emory, who commands
the.Pepartment of Washington, Republicans
say, will submit hipaself to the immediate
orders only of the General of the army, and
not to those of the President.
r THE COURTS TO BE APPEALED TO
Mr. Johnson. on Saturday, directed an ap
plication to be made to the Court of the
District Sot- a mandannis or quo warranfo,
with 11 view of making Mr. Stanton show
under and by what'authority he retains pos
'session of the War Department. If the Court
decides in favor of Stanton, the President
Will then carry the case to the United States
Supreme Court. There is the best authority
for saying that all Mr. Johnson contemplated
in removing Stanton. was to have the tenure
of-office law, under,which Ise held the place ,
judicially tested, and in no other way could
he dispose of this Person who could not be
admitte I properly ,to Cabinet councils, and
who was personally not only a nuisance, bnt
was also an obstacle to 'the transaction of
public business. The President certainly did
not anticipate the hasty and unwarrantable
action of Congress in a matter where he con
sidered he had a clear and indisputable right
of removal under the-Constitution. And it
should be added; that while he does not court
impeachment, as has been foolishly stated, he
does not shrink from it. But if Congress
shall attempt to Suspend him, he will, as he
has heretofore declared, defend the Executive
Department from illegal encroachments "by
all the powers the Constitution affords for its
own protection."

LSIPEACIDIENT 'RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY
THE lIOURE
Thb Capitol, long before the hour of meet
ing, was crowded, end thousands were una
ble to obtain admittance in the galleries.
The doorways were obstructed by ladies and
the lobbies densely filled with petsonstof
both sexes. There was ho abatement of in
terest throughout the entire proceeclings.of
the House, which continued eight hours and
a half. The impeachment resolution wasthe
only anbjevt discussed, and bitter speeches
were - made on the Radical side by Messrs.
Ashley, Kelley, Washburn° (Grant's trainer)
Wilson and Woodbridge (bOth of whom
voted against impeachment before), and a
dozen or more of the lesser lights of the
party. The Democrats fought the impeach
ment project with great pertinacity, able
speeches being made by Messrs. Boyer,
Woodward, Proyn, Wood, Nicholson, Cary,
Niblack, Kerr, Barnes, Marshall and
Etheridge. The closing 'speech, was made
by Thad. Stevens, who read a long written
effort, whieh was one of the meanest •pro
-Auctions or his life. At five o'clock, the'
House proceeded to vote on the resolution,
and it was adopted by 12G yeas to 47 nays.
All the Republicans, except Mr. CarY, of
Ohio, and Mr. Stewart, of New York, vbied
for impeachment, and all the Democrats
against it. Our own rlimy Scofield, true to
his instincts: went with the majority, as a
matter,of course. The announcement of the
result elicited no ,inanffestation, but the im
mense audience Which had tilled the galler
ies and corridors all day, gradually dispersed
till it eras reduced to less than one-fourth its
original number. ' Mr. Stevens then' moved
the following resolutions :
-Misdeed, That a committee of two he ap
pointed to go to the Senate and at the bar
thereof in the name of the House of Repre

THE WAR DEPART/LENT AOAIN.
The'President, on Monday, nominated to
the Senate Thomas Ewing, Sr.,ot Ohio, to be
Secretary of War in place of Edwin M. Stan
ton, removeil. .ye also sent to the Senate an
executive communication in reply to the
resolution recentlypassed by that body, ar
guing and insisting that he not only bad the
right Under the Constitution and Tenure-of
office bill to remove Mr. Stanton, but also to
appoint a Secretariof War ad interim. Gen.
Thomas made his appearance at the War
Department about 11 a. rit. Gen. Thomas
said on entering Stanton's room: "Well, air,
I am again directed by the President of the
United States to demand of you pOssession
of..the archives, records and all property of
the War DepartmehCand I am : now here,
sir, to make that demand." Mr.fStanton re
plied : "I do not acknowledge the authority
of the President to issue such an order, as I_
informed you on last Saturday. I refuse to
surrender the Wal Department to any per
son, and I again order you to your post as
Adjutant-General ,of the Army." To this
General Thomas answered : "I certainly will
not obey that order, and I insist upon being
recognized as Secretary ad interim." Mr.
Stanton repeated his refusal to permit Gen
eral Thomas to perform any functions .of
Secretary of War, and General Thomas took
has leave and entered the room of General
Schriver. It is ascertained almost beyond a
doubt that the orders left by Gen. Thomas
with the Assistant Adjutant-Generals of the
War Department to lay before him the busi
ness of the Department will not be obeyed.
Every one from General Townsend to the
Messenger are instructed by Mr. Stanton to
obey no orders except such as emanate from
him.
THE FEELING Titßocouorr THE OGUNTIFE:
Dispatches from different points through(
out the country show.
.that the newt, '.f the
impeachment has caused intense excite hien t,
and is received with general approbation by
Republicans,
_while Democrats bitterly de
nounce the an& as a reckless party nieasare.
Telegrams have been received from Union
League Clubs at all points proffering services
in support of Congress. On the other hand,
the President has received numerous pnitfers
of support from the Deinocratic clubs in vari
ons parts of the country. The President did
not seem to be much distthted by the action
of the House, of Representatives, but received
many of his friends in his usual. manner.
The indecent haste which has marked the
extraordinary prne'eedings of the. Rouse is
deprecated by many Radicals, several Sena
tors haiing declared the position of Stevens
& Co., untenable. ,Among these are three of
the Most prominent in' the Senate. It is said
that Attorney-General 'Stanbery, Judge
Black, and Charles O'Coner, Esq., will de
fend the President before the Senate."
Tueadars Proceedings.
THE PIiEMDENT IMPEACHED BErORE TUE
MEM
At a quarter past one o'clock, Messrs.
Stevens and Bingham, the encamittee on the ,
part of the House to report its action' on im
peachment to the Senate, appeared at the bar
of that body. Their _ presence_ being an
nounced, Mr. Su yens said :
"In obedience to an order of the House of
Representatives, we appear before you. In
the name of the House of Representatives
and of all the . people of the United Staten,
we do impeach Andrew Johnson; President
of the United States, of high crimes and mis
demeanors in office., And we further inform
the Senate that the House of Representatives
will in due time exhibit articles against him,
and make good the same ; and jn their name
we demand that the Senate take order for
the appearance. • of -slid Andrew Johnson to
answer said impeachment"
• The presiding officer, (Mr. Wade) said that
the Senate would take action in the premises.
Soon after, Mr. Howard, of Michigan, of
fered the following resolution :
Rooked, That the message from the House
of Representatives relative to the impeach
ment of Andrew Johnson, be referred to a
select committee of seven, to consider and
report on same?' '
The.resolution was /opposed by Mr. BaY'-
atti; of Delaware, but carried by a strict party
vote. -The following committee was selected
t •
accordingly : Messrs. Howard, of Michigan ;
Trumbull, of Illinois; Conkling, of New
York; I:dmunds, of Vermont; Morton, of
Indiana; Pomeroy. 01 R . 2.nsas, and Johnson,
of Maryland.
Messrs. Stevens and Bingham returned to
the House, where Stevens_ reported their
iiroeeedings as toltowS : • . ,
Mr. Speaker : In obedience to the order of
the House, we proceeded to the bar of the
Senate, and in your name, 'and, in the name
of this body, and all the people of the United
States, we impeactletl, as we were directed
to, Andrew Johnson, President of the United
States; of high Crimes and misdemeanors in
office; and we demand that the Senate shall
take, or order to make him appear before
that body ,and ansx er - for the same; and
stated that the House would forthwith, or
arm, I did not say which, present articles.of
impeachment and make them good ; to which
response the other shall be taken."
Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, offered the fol
lowing resolution, which was adopted by the
usual Radical majority :
Rewired, That the rules be suspended and
it is hereby ordered as follows: When,the
committee to prepare the articles of impeach
ment of the President .of the United Stator
report the said articles,-the House shall hn
metliately.resolve itself into Committee of the
whole thereon; that irireeches in the corn"-
mittee shall be limited to fifteen minutes
each, which debate shall continue until the
next legislative day after the report, to the
exclusion of all other business, except the.
Tending of the Journal; that at three o'clock
in the afternoon of said second day, the
fifteen minutes delmte shall - mist?, and the
committee shall then proceed to consider and
to vote upon the amendment that may be
offered under the five minutes rule of debate,
but no merely pro forma amendment shall be
entertained; that at four o'clock'in the after
noon of said second day, the said committee
shall rise and report its action to the lionSe,
which shall immediately and without dilato
ry, motion vote thereon ; that if the articles of
impeachment are agreed upon, the House
shall then immediately and without dilatory
motions elect by' ballot seven managers to
conduct said impeachment on the part of the
House; and that during .the- pending of
resolutions in the House, relative to said im
peachment thereafter, \no dilatory motion
shall be received, exec one motion on each
-day that the Howse do now adjourn. -
The committee of seven appointed by the
House to prepare • articles of impeachment
against the President held their first meeting
on Tuesday morning for - consultation. • The
general impression is that few charges will
be preferred, requiring but a small nwnberof
witnesset - It is knOwn that such is the de
sire of the Republicans, it being argued by
them that if the articles are made to cover
all the offenses they charge the President
with, the trial will be prolonged to a great
length, and perhaps enable him to serve his
term out before it 'won - eluded. The Radi
cals are a unit in wanting the impeachment
pressed through without delay. The arti
cles to be prepared will ;not be presented to
the Senate until that body resolves Itself into
a Court of linpeachrnent.
THE EXCITEMENT IX THE COtNTHT.
Advice!' indicate that: the events of the last
few days have created a
,degree of public in
terest scarcely eaceededfduring the outbreak
of the rebellion. Party feeling is running
fearfully high, and seems to be on the in
crease. Telegrams from stew York state
that recruiting offices have been opened in .
that city for the enlistment of men pledged
to support the President in his contest with -
Congress. " / dispatch front Philadelpliia
alio states that the largest Democratic Ipses
elation in that city has resolved itself into a
military organization. Radical Governors
and associations are offering troops to Con
geals, and wherever a Radical convention
has been held it has endorsed the course of
Congress. Rack party is holding public
meetings, and it will require the uomost-e
-forts of the calm men on both sides to prevent
a civil war from breaking out, which, If it
Once gets started, will be the most terrible In
the world's history.
Wedsleaders Proceedings.
A NEW TERN IN AFFAIRS.
Gen. Thomas' case came
. up before the
District Court, and after- some"argument;lti .
which his high . personal character was freely
conceded by the Court and Stanton's at
torneys; hp was' released from arrest, without
bail, on the undesatanding that he would ap
pear whenever called upon. The Cohrt
gave as the reason for this course that the
subject would probably soon be taken be
fore the Supreme Court in a different phase,
and that it did not become the minor Court
to interfere when such important queitions
are at stake. Stanton's attorneys, during
the argument, said Thomas and Stanton Isere
on friendly tiersonal terms, and that the lat
ter was not disposed to subject Thomas to
unpleasant consequences. The President
was waited on by a Maryland Committee,
and made a speech declarinthis. deterniina
tion 'to sustain the Constitution, regardless of
personal considerations. In the Senate, a
resolution was adopted, to the effect that it
will take "proper order" on the impeachment
question as submitted to it by the Goalie.
! The Committee of the House, to prepare
articles of impeachment, has commenced
examining witnesses. It is announced that
a sufficient number of Senators cannot be se
cured to impeach the President on the
ground of violating the Tenure-of-office bill,
and the Committee are endeavoring to patch
up a plan that will secure the necessary two
third vote." We should not be surprised if
the matter turned out to be a farce, after all
the noise.
moan, PETTY MEANNESS.
The Senate of the United States last week
decided by a vote of 28 to 21 to refuse a seat
to Hon. Philip F. Thomas, who was recently
elected to represent Maryland in that body.
The assumed ground of Radical h stilitv to
him is the alleged titct that a son, against
his father's entreaties, left home to join the
'Confederate army. 31r. Thomas, finding all
advice and remonstrance unavailing, and not
wishing to hsve the young man leave home
in a state of utter destitution, gave him the
sum of $l . OO, as almost any father would have
done under the circumstances. Thus Mary
land, one of the Old Thirteen, was denied
the right, guaranteed to her by the Constitu
tion, of representation in the Senate of the
United & -States, by a Senator of her own
choice. 4.. A few days ago a similar outrage
was perpetrated in the House on the people
of the second District, of Kentucky by reject
ing their chosen Representative, Hon. John
"V: Brown. In- the Reconstruction Com
mittee last 'Week, a propoiltion was made to
suspend the Te , : it, Oath, in the ease of Butler
a Radical member elect from Tennessee; and
formerly an officer in the Confederate army.
Mrßrooki (Democrat) offered an amendment
to include in the resolittiott the raurie of Mr.
Brown, who had been excluded on the same
ground that made the suspension of the . test
oath necessary in Butler's case, viz; the ac
cusation of having been a rebel.— The amend
ment, was voted doin, thus clearly demon
strating, if any demonstration were needed,
that the "test oatha" are merely designed for
the exclusion and annoyance of men who are
not Radicals, and that .when they apply to
their own partisans they are alto effect what
ever.
The Maryland Legislature is represented to
be in a state of excitement over the action
of the Senate in refusing to admit Philip F.
Thomas. The leading members met in cau
cus and resolved to re-elect Mr. Thomas, anil
send him a second time to the Senate to pre
sent his credentials and demand admission.
POLITICAL BREVITIES.
TIIE Radical office-seekera are like loving
children. They'are all the time calling for
pap ! ry .
A GRANT organ says; "Whiskey is to be
heavily' taxed." In that event will it be
necessary to increase the salary of the Genet•
al of the Army?
Tiix vote in Neli Hampshire last year
stood : Republican, 35,809: Democratic, 32,-
657 ; Republican majority,3,ls2. This was
a Democratic gain on the vote of 1866 of
1064.
Sin.ii.oqry of a crippled soldier : Where
shall Igo ? 'F2 the pool-house, or to the cem
etery" Soliloquy of the bond-bolder.—
Where shall I spend the,sea:son ? In Europe,
or at Saratoga?
'Tnr.:Norwich Bulletin, which gives heed
to the "babbling tongues" of Washington,
corms; ouewith a strong protest against the
choicsf any man for the Presidency who
has the slightest predilection for whiskey.
. A RADICAL exchange paper says the Re
publican party is like a man recovering from
a long drunk, and that the elections have
acted upon them like a bucket of cold water
thrown upon the drunken man's head. .
THE army employed in maintaining negro
ascendency at the South numbers over
eighteen thousand ;Mu. Last year the whole
military establishment cost $2804:00,000. At
that rate the force used to keep the black
race dominant over the white costs over
1117,000,000 yearly ! it, any wonder that
taxes and vices are high ?
• Tun New Orleans City Councif—whieb
'was lately trundled ant at office by General
Hancock for holdingjut election for Record
er in violation of orders promulgated by Sa
trap Sheridan, and still in force—was com
posed of two white men and seven negtoes.
They were all of Sheridan's appointment,
and; of course, ill "loll.'
A srert D Copperhead wantsto know if the
cannon that "fought nobly" in the Union
array, and • the Mules that hauled them,
hasn't as good a right to a voice in the
elections as the colored troops. Evidently
the fellow needs to be reconstructed. His
suggestion at Once is brassy and brays of hor
rible discord.
SPEAKLYG of the political movements in
New York State, the Herald says : "The
town electiOni thuS far in this State have
shown, Democratic gains over the 50,000 ma
jority in 1867. We have already given the
results in the counties where elections. have
thus far been held- this:year. These counties
represent different portions of the State,
showing that the Demicratic gains cannot
be ascribed to Weal muses."
