Tni: bill referredidlast week, which was
clandestinely slipped through Congress for
the purpose of preventing a decision of the
Supreme Court upon the reconstruction nets,
has been vetoed by the President.
A GILLAT snow storm swept over the sea
board section of the country on Saturday,
extending from New England to Virginia.
In some places the snow was deeper than has
been known for-years, and communication by
rail or common road was 'almost entirely sus
pend , d for several days.
THE. SPAEDLE CASE.
At , consultation of Judges of the Supreme
Court„ held on Saturday, the McArdie ease
came up in regular order for determination.
A. proposition was made to postpone further
action upon the ease until after the legisla
tion now pending before Congress,to regulate
appeals In such. cases, shall have been con
cluded. This was objected to by trio of the
judges on the ground that the Court is not
charged with official knowledge of the mere
pendency of such legislation, and that the
Court could take no judicial notice of legis
lative action until Congress had finally passed
a bill, and the same has become lawrin due
form, vote was taken upon the proposi
tion to postpone, and six judges voted for
postponement and two against it. So the
case goes veer until after time President's
veto shall have been acted upon in Congress.

The President's Anoiwer to the
Charges.
TILE TRIAL TO COMMENCE ON
MONDAY NEST.
Both Houses of Congress met in joint ses
sion in the Senate Chamber,!on Monday, to
listen to the President's answer to the im
peachment charges. - Chief Justice Chase
presided, and Messrs. W. P. Evans, of New
York, and W. S. Oroesheek of Ohio, appear
ed as counsel for the President, in addition
to Messrs. Stanbery,Curtis, Black and Nelson.
The proceedings were opened by Senator
Davis, of Kentucky, who presented a protest
against the right of the Senate to try: the
President, as ten States are unrepresented,
which the majority refused to receive. Mr.
Stanbery then rose and said the counsel for
the President were ready to present his an
swer,
in obedience to!the order of the Senate.
He complained of the insuffisiency of the
time elven, and said they had been obliged
to abandon all other business, and labor in
cessantly night and day. The President's
points are as follows:
'The first impeachment charge is, substan
tially, that on the 21st day of.Febrnary,lB6B,
Mr. Johnson, "unlawfully and in violation.of
the Constitution and laws orthe United
States," issued the order removing Stanton.
in answer, the President gives a history of
the organization of the War Department, re
counts the act of the First congress estab
lishing it, furnishes a copy of his first courte
ous request to Stanton to resign and of that
official's impudent refusal to do so. The
President states that he then calmly consid
ered his duty under the circumstances, be
lieving, as he did, that he had power to re
move Stanton, and that the Interests of the
country required that he should do so. On
the point of his power in the matter, he
states that ho had previously consulted his
Cabinet, anti all of them, Stanton included,
hadisgt:eed that Congress could not take it
from him, and that the Tenure-ot-Office bill
was unconStittitional. Further, having
ei
amiued that bill, he arrived at the conclusion
that, by its own terms, he had aulhotity to
remove Stanton. Still further, lie deemed it
not only advisable that a law en the binding
force Of which he and Congress disagreed,
should be brought to a judicial test, but that
it was his duty to bring this about. Hence
he issued the order suspending Stanton and
appointing Grant ad interim. The power of
removal, he claims, includes tbat of suspen
sion, hence Stanton was not suspended until
the Senate should pass upon the matter, but
indefinitely, during the pleasure of the Exec
utive. This point is important, as a claim
that, even after the +maxi rest - oration of Stan
ton by the Senate, the War Office was still
.vacant. After reciting the artier of the Senate
.and his own order designating Thomas ad in
terim, this portion of the answer closes with
a formal denial.
The second article -charges, substantially,
that on the day aforesaid the President, "in
violation of," &c., appointed Lorenzo Thom
as Secretary of War in? interim. In answer,
the respondent admits the facts of acting
without the advice or-consent of the- Senate,
and of transmitting letters to Thomas - and
Manton, but denies any violation of the Con
stiltalorflaws, for the reasons alleged in
- the answer to the first article, and further be
cause at the time there was an actual vacan
cy in the Department of War. .
The third charge is similar to the second,
and the answers are also nearly identical.
In reply to this charge the President denies
that he appointed Thomas Secretary of War,
having simply designated him to perform
the duties of the office ad interim, it being
vacant.
The fourth article begins the charges of
consulting with Thomas. which are contin
ued through the four following articles, the
specification under the fourth being with
in
tent by intimidation amt threats to hinder
Stanton from performing the duties of his
office ; contrary to the conspiracy net or 1861;
under the fifth to hinder the execution of the
Tenure-of-Office bill ; under the • sixth, to
seize and hold property of the War Depart
ment, contrary to conspiracy act of 1861,
and Tenure-of-Office bill combined ; under
the seventh, to prevent Stanton, Secretary of
War, from holding said office ; under the
eighth, to seize War•. Department property
with intent to violate! the Tenure-of-Office
bill. The President answers these charges
separately, but to substantially the snide ef
i feet. lie denies any conspirimy, or having
instructed Thomas to use ffirce, reiterating
his intention of bringing the matter before
the_courts. He excepts ur the sufficiency of
each of these conspiracy articles, on the
ground that it is not alleged by what means
or by what agreement the said alleged con
spiracy was formed or agreed to be carried
out, or in what way the same:was attempted
to be carried out, or what were the acts done
in pursuance thereof
The ninth is the article relating to Gen.
Emory, the charges of which we need not
recapitulate. In answer, the President gave
an account of the interview with Gen. Emo
ry, the same in effect as that given by Emory
in his testimony. lleadmits*that he believed
the law unconstitutional requiring all army
orders to pass through Grant, and that he
said so to Emory. but denies that 'he coon-
Sidled Emory to disobey the law, and fur
ther claims his right to express his opinion
of it to hint. Moreover, although he signed
The law in question, he did so tinder protest
to Congress, as his message of March 11,
1867 how, He therefore, did no more than
to express to said Emory, the same opinion
which he had so expressed to the House of
Representatives.
In reply to the tenth article, the President
denies that he used the language imputed to
him at Cleveland, St Louis and other places,
and claims that if the Senate take co s :piizance
of the charges, the exact languagre used by
him must be proved. Further, he denies the
general charges of having used diseourteou.s
and unbecoming language of Congress, and
plants himself squarely on his right of free
sp.Jech as a private citizen.
The eleventh charge is to the effect that,
00 the 18th 01 180, the Prezident de
pied the legality of the yrescan Congress and
the binding nature of the laws p.n,4ed
This charge ist geherally denied, the Presi

speech, and denies having committed any of-
The answer is very Icing, for the policy has
been adopted of fortifying on every line. It
is worhy of remark that it evinces the con
trary of a 'disposition to protract the trial.
The President admits many matters of fact
in the charges, which 'he might require the
prosecution to prove and thus spin out the
proceeding. Indeed, it seems from the-tone
of the answer, so precise and respectful Is It,
us if Mr. Johnson really entertains the idea

Coal in our Territories.
A correspondent writing from the Union
Pacific Railway, Eistern Division Survey, in
New Mexico, says: "Our researches have
covered all the coal - in this country accessi
ble to the road. One-ten-feet vein called the
"Vermigo Vein," of superior quality in every
respect, has alone enough coal in it, within
au area of ten square miles, to last the Union
Pacific Railway, Eastern Division, one hun
dred years, with as many locomotives per
mile, as • the Pennsylvania Central Railway
now possesses, and an the supposition that
every pound consumed from Kansas city to
San Francisco, is.drawn from this bed alone..
I have limited the calculation to ten square
miles, simply because we traced this bed for
three or four miles in each direction. .
We saw no reason to doubt that the vein
extended fur several hundred squaremilcs,as
it lies nearly level in• the strata, about' five
hundred feet beneath the summit of thelills.
This coal is remarkably free from sulphur,
slate and other impuritik A. peculiarly val
uable feature in this coal formation is the
great facility with which all the veins can be
reached, owing to the great number of can
ons about one thousand feet-- deep which
penetrate at intervals of every three to five
miles, and whose beds gradually ascend front
the foot to the very summit of thet.e high hills,
cutting every summit. Nothing 'could be
more favorable for economical coal mining,
and I think the coal could he produced at the
surface at the present prices of labor at one
dollar per ton. '
Parties in the vicinity who hate tried this
coal, any they have used in the Stales the
Pittsburgh, Gumberland, Allegheny and
other well• known And favored coals, and,
that the Virrnigo Vein is as good, if not bet
ter than any of them, having, scarcely any
sulphur, and making tinnily any cinder, and
very little ashes in burning.
