caution.

Mr. SHERMAN suggested that notice be given the morning papers.

Mr. WILLIAMS suggested that, as there will probably be many strangers in the galleries to-morrow, the Chief Justice, before the call of the roll, admonish all persons that no manifestation of applause or disapproval will be allowed in the Senate under penalty of arrest.

This proposition met with general approbation, and
Mr. SHERMAN withdrew his motion.
The doors were closed at 10-20 o'clock.

The doors having been closed the Chief Justice stated that in compliance with the decree of the Senate he had prepared the questions to be addressed to Senators upon the articles of impeachment, and that he had reduced his views to writing, which he read.

Mr. BUCKALEW submitted the following motion, which was considered by unanimous consent and agreed to:

Ordered, that the views of the Chief Justice be entered upon the journal of proceedings of the Senate for the trial of impeachment.

Address of the Chief Justice.

The Chief Justice then arose and addressed the
Senate as follows:-

f Senators:-In conformity with what seemed the
general wish of the Senate, when it adjourned on last
Thursday, the Chief Justice, in taking the vote on the
articles of impeachment, will adopt the mode sanc-
tioned by the practice in the case of Chase, Peck and
Humphreys. He will direct the Secretary to read the
several articles successively, and after the reading of
each article will put the question of guilty or not
guilty to each Senator, rising in his place the form
used in the trial of Judge Chase:-Mr. Senator.
how say you, is the respondent, Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States, guilty or not guilty of
a high misdemeanor, as charged in this article?

The

In putting the questions on articles fourth and sixth, each of which charges a crime, the word "crime" will be substituted for the word "misdemeanor." Chief Justice has carefully considered the suggestion of the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Hendricks), which, appeared to meet the approval of the Senate, that in taking the vote on the eleventh article, the question should be put on each clause, and has found himself unable to divide the article as suggested. The articles 1 charges several facts, but they are so connected that they make but one allegation, and this charges as constituting one misdeme nor; the first act charged in substance, that the President publicly declared in August, 1866, that the Thirty-ninth Congress was a Congress of only part of the States, and not a constitutional Congress, intending thereby to deny its constitutionality to enact laws or propose amendments to the Constitution, and this charge seems to have been made as introductory, and as qualifying that which follows, namely: That the President, in pursuance of this declaration, attempted to prevent the execution of the Tenure of Office act by contriving and attempting to contrive means to prevent Mr. Stanton from re

suming the functions of Secretary of War, after the refusal of the Senate to concur in his suspension, and aleo by contriving and attempting to contrive means to prevent the execution of the Appropriation act of March 2, 1867; and also to prevent the execution of the Rebel States Government's act of the same date.

The gravamen of the article seems to be that the President attempted to defeat the execution of the Tenure of Office act, and that he did this in pursuance of a declaration which was intended to deny the constitutional competency of Congress to enact laws or propose constitutional amendments, aud by contriving means to prevent Mr. Stanton from resuming his office of Secretary; and also to prevent the execntion of the Reconstruction acts in the Rebel States, The single substantive matter charged is the attempt to prevent the execution of the Tenure of Office act and the other facts alleged, either as introductory, and exhibiting his general purpose, or as showing the means contrived in furtherance of that attempt. This single matter, connected with the other matters previously and subsequently alleged, is charged as the high misdemeanor of which the President is alleged to have been guilty.

The general question of guilty or not guilty of high misdemeanor, as charged, seems fully concurred in as charged, and will be put to this article, as well as to the others, until the Senate direct some mode of division. In the tenth article the division suggested by the Senator from New York (Mr. Conkling) may be more easily made. It contains a general allegation to the effect that on the sixteenth of August, and on other days, the President, with intent to set aside the rightful authority of Congress and bring it into contempt, uttered certain scandalous harangues and threats and bitter menaces against Congress, and the laws of the United States enacted by Congress, thereby bringing the office of President into disgrace to the great scandal of all good citizens, and sets forth in three distinct specifications the ha rangues, threats and menaces complained of in this respect to the several specifications; and then the question of guilty or not guilty of high misdemeanor, as charged in the article, can also be taken. The Chief Justice, however, sees no objection in putting general questions on this article, in the same manner as the others; for whether particular questions be put on the specifications or not, the answer to the final question must be determined by the judgment of the Senate, whether or not the acts alleged in the specifications have been sufficiently proved, and whether, if sufficiently proved, they amount to a high misdemea nor within the meaning of the Constitution.

On the whole, therefore, the Chief Justice thinks that the better practice will be to put the general question on each article, without attempting to make any subdivision, and will pursue this course, if no ob He will, however, be pleased to conjection is made. form to such directions as the Senate may see fit in the matter.

Whereupon, Mr. SUMNER submitted the following order, which was considered by unanimous consent:That the questions be put as proposed by the presiding officer of the Senate, and each Senator shall rise in his place and answer, "Guilty" or "Not Guilty" only.

On motion of Mr. SUMNER, the Senate proceeded to consider the following resolution, submitted on the 25th of April last:

Resolved, That the following be added to the rules of procedure and practice in the Senate, when sitting at the trial of impeachment:-"On a conviction by the Senate, it shall be the duty of the presiding officer, forthwith, to pronounce the removal from office of the convicted person, according to the requirements of the Constitution. Any further judgment shall be on the order of the Senate."

After debate, the Chief Justice announced that the hour, eleven o'clock A. M., fixed by the order of the Senate for deliberation and debate had arrived, and that Senoters could now submit their views upon the several articles of impeachment, subject to the limits of debate fixed by the twenty-third rule.

And, after deliberation, on motion of Mr. CONNESS, at ten minutes before two o'clock, the Senate took a recess of twenty minutes, at the expiration of which time, after further deliberation, on motion of Mr. CONNESS, at half-past five o'clock the Senate took a recess until half-past seven o'clock P. M

While the Senate was in secret session excited crowds were in the lobby, anxious to know the course of the debates inside. Frequent inquiries were made of all who were supposed to know anything of the matter, and from time to time additional information was received by them, and soon traveled to the House of Representatiees, where groups were occasionally

formed discussing the subject. The inquiry was made of everybody coming from the direction of the Senate, "What's the latest news?" or "Who has last spoken, and what course had he taken?" Answers were given according to the ability of the person interrogated. It was ascertained that numerous Senators had spoken, but the views of the Republicans excited the most interest.

It was ascertained that Messrs. Grimes, Trumbull and Fessenden had clearly expressed themselves against the conviction of the President, while Mr. Henderson was against all the articles of impeachment except the eleventh. Messrs. Sherman and Howe, according to the general account, supported only the second, third. fourth, eighth and eleventh articles. Messrs. Edmunds, Stewart, Williams and Morrill (Me.) sustained all the articles, while Messrs. Hendricks, Davis, Johnson and Dixon opposed them.

Midnight.-A large number of persons were in the Rotunda of the Capitol to-night, waiting to hear from the Senate, which resumed its secret session at halfpast seven o'clock. Only those privileged to enter the Senate side of the building, including members of the House and reporters for the press were permitted to approach the immediate vicinity of the Senate. Some Occupied the adjacent rooms, while others stood in the passage ways, all anxious inquirers after important intelligence.

It was ascertained that Senator Conness, Harlan, Wilson and Morton spoke in favor of, and Mr. Buckalew in opposition to the conviction of the President.

The expectation by the outside parties was that those who are regarded as doubtful on the Republican side would express their views.

Mr. Edmunds submitted the following order: That the order of the Senate that it will proceed at twelve o'clock, noon, to-morrow, to vote on the articles of impeachment, be rescinded.

This was not acted on.

Mr. WILLIAMS offered the following:Ordered, That the Chief Justice, in directing the Secretary to read the several articles of impeachment, shall direct him to read the eleventh article first, and the question shall be then taken upon that article, and thereafter the other ten successively as they stand. This lies over.

A motion that the Senate meet at half-past eleven o'clock to-morrow morning to sit with open doors, was agreed to.

The Senate adjourned at eleven o'clock.

PROCEEDINGS OF TUESDAY, MAY 12.

The chair was taken at half-past eleven precisely by the President pro tem., and the Chaplain, Rev. Dr. Gray, then opened the proceedings with prayer. After an invocation on behalf of the nation, he concluded as follows:

"Prepare the mind, O, Lord, of the President for the removal or the suspense connected with this day's proceedings; prepare the minds of the people for the momentous issues which hang upon the decisions of the hour; prepare the minds of Thy servants, the Senators, for the great responsibility of this hour; may they be wise in counsel; may they be clear and just, and correct in judgment, and may they be faithful to the high trusts committed to them by the nation, and may the blessing of God be upon the people everywhere; may the people bow to the supremacy of the law; may order, and piety, and peace prevail throughout all our deliberations, and may the blessing of God rest upon the nation. God preserve the people. God preserve the government and save it. God maintain the right, to-day and forevermore. Amen."

Messrs. Stanbery and Evarts entered the Chamber. In the meantime the Chief Justice assumed the chair, and the court was opened by proclamation.

Senator CHANDLER immediately arose and addressed the Chair, but the Chief Justice directed the Secretary to proceed with the reading of the journal. After the reading had progressed for some minutes, Mr. EDMUNDS moved that the further reading be dispensed with, but

Mr. DAVIS objected, and the journal was read through.

Mr. EDMUNDS moved to take up the pending order, which was as follows;

Ordered, That the standing order of the Senate, that it will proceed at twelve o'clock, noon, to-morrow, to vote upon the articles of impeachment, be reconsidered.

Mr.CHANDLER asked unanimous consent to make a statement. No objection being made he said:--My eolleague, Mr. Howard, is taken suddenly ill, and was delirious yesterday. He was very ill this morning,

but he told me that he would be here to vote, even at the peril of his life. Both of his physicians, however, objected, and said it would be at the peril of his life. With this statement, I desire to move that the Senate, sitting as a court, adjourn until Saturḍay next, at twelve o'clock.

[ocr errors]

Mr. HENDRICKS moved to amend by making it to-morrow at twelve o'clock.

Mr. CHANDLER-There is no probability that he will be able to be up: he had a very high fever and was delirious; he said he would be here to-day if the Senate insisted on having him come.

Mr. FESSENDEN inquired whether the postponement would leave the order with reference to filing opinions after the final vote applicable to-day? The Chief Justice-The Chief Justice understands that it applies to the final vote.

Mr. CONNESS-And two days thereafter?
The Chief Justice-And two days thereafter.

Mr. HENDRICKS then suggested that Mr. Chandler modify his motion so as to provide for an adjournment till Thursday, when, if the Senator should not be well enough, a further adjourment could be had. Mr. CHANDLER asked would Friday suit the Senator?

Several Senators-"No" "no."

The motion of Mr. Hendricks was lost.

Mr. TIPTON moved to amend by making it Friday, but the motion was not agreed to, Senator Sumner and mover apparently being the only Senators voting affirmatively.

Mr. BUCKALEW suggested that Mr. Chandler modify his motion to read, "that when the Senate adjourn it be to Saturday."

Mr. CHANDLER so modified it, and it was agreed to, with only one or two nays on the Democratic side. Mr. EDMUNDS moved that the Secretary be di rected to inform the House the Senate will proceed further in the trial on Saturday next, at twelve o'clock. He withdrew the motion, however, after a few minutes.

On motion of Mr. DRAKE, the court was adjourned at ten minutes before twelve o'clock.

PROCEEDINGS OF SATURDAY, MAY 16.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The Senate met at 11:30 A. M. The galleries were full, and policemen were stationed in all the aisles.

[ocr errors]

At 12 M., the Chief Justice assumed the Chair, and called the court to order. In the meantime, Managers Stevens, Bingham and Logan, and Mr. Evarts, of the counsel for the President, had entered and taken their places. Mr. Conkling, Mr. Grimes and Mr. Howard were present, making a full Senate.

The following is the vote on the adoption of an order, offered by Mr. Williams, to take the vote on the eleventh article, first:

YEAS-Messrs. Anthony, Cameron, Cattell, Chandler Cole, Conkling, Conness, Corbett, Cragin, Drake, Edmunds, Ferry Frelinghuysen. Harlan, Howard, Howe, Morgan, Morill (Me.), Morrill (Vt.), Morton, Nye, Patterson (N. H.), Pomeroy, Ramsey, Sherman, Sprague, Stewart, Sumner, Thayer, Tipton, Wade, Williams, Wi son and Yates-34.

NAYS-Messrs. Bayard, Buckalew, Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Fessenden, Fowler, Henderson, Hendricks, Johnson, McCreery, Norton, Patterson (Tenn.), Ross, Saulsbury, Trumbull, Van Winkle, Vickers and Willey-19.

Senator JOHNSON inquired whether the order of Senator Williams was debateable.

The Chief Justice replied that it was not. Senator JOHNSON said he would like to make a remark on it.

Senator CONNESS objected.

The question was then put on taking up Senator Williams' order for action, and it was decided. Yeas, 34; nays, 19.

Senator Wade voted for the first time, and voted in the affirmative. Senator Grimes was not then pre

sent.

The vote was then taken on the Eleventh Article of impeachment, and resulted as follows:

[blocks in formation]

The vote stood 35 for conviction, and 19 for acquittal. So Andrew Johnson was acquitted on that article.

Immeditaely on the declaration of not guilty on the eleventh article, Mr. Williams moved an adjournment to Tuesday, 26th inst.

Mr. HENDRICKS claimed it to be out of order.
The Chair so decided.

Mr. DRAKE appealed from the decision of the Chair, and it was overruled. Yeas, 34; nays, 20.

The votes of the Senators were waited for with the atmost anxiety, though nothing more than a general motion as of suspense relieved, was made manifest when the vote of a doubtful Senator was given. It was noticed that Senator Cameron voted ahead of

time. The Chief Justice had not concluded the formal question before the Senator's vote of guilty was pronounced. Senators Fessenden, Fowler, Grimes, Ross, Trumbull, and Van Winkle, among the Republican Senators, voted not guilty. Senator Wade, when his name was called, stood up unbesitatingly, and voted guilty.

Before the result of the vote was announced, but when it was known, Mr. WILLIAMS rose and moved that the Senate, sitting as a Court of Impeachment, adjourn till Tuesday, May 26, at twelve o'clock.

Senator JOHNSON addressed the Chief Justice. The Chief Justice said that debate was not in order. Serator JOHNSON-Is it in order to adjourn the Senate when it has already decided on one of the articles.

The Chief Justice-The precedents are, except in one case, "the case of Humphreys," that the announcement was not made until the end of the cause. The Chair will, however, take the direction of the Senate. If the Senate desire the announcement to be made now, it will be made.

Senator SHERMAN-The announcement of the Vote had better be made.

Senator DRAKE I submit, as a question of order, that a motion to adjourn is pending, and that that motion takes precedence of all other things.

The Chief Justice-The Senator from Missouri is perfectly right. A motion to adjourn has been made, and that motion takes precedence.

Mr. HENDRICKS-The motion to adjourn cannot be made pending a vote, and the vote is not complete until it is announced.

Senator CONKLING-A motion cannot be made pending the roll call.

Several Senators-Certainly not; let the vote be announced.

Senator JOHNSON-I ask that the vote be announced.

The Chief Justice-The vote will be announced. The Clerk will read the roll.

The roll having been read by the Clerk, the Chief Justice rose and announced the result in these words:-"On this article there are 35 Senators who have voted guilty and 19 Senators who have voted not guilty. The President is, therefore, acquitted on this article.

No manifestation of sentiment was made on either side of the question. Whatever were the feelings of Senators, members and spectators, they were thoroughly suppressed.

[ocr errors]

Senator Williams' motion to adjourn till Tuesday, the 26th inst., was then taken up. Senator HENDRICKS submitted as a question of order, that the Senate was not executing an order already made, which was in the nature and had the

effect of the previous question; and, therefore, motion to adjourn otherwise than simply to adjourn, was not in order.

Calls of "Question!" "Question!"

The Chief Justice-The motion that when the Senate adjourn it adjourn to meet at a certain date, cannot now be entertained, because it is in process of executing an order. A motion to a journ to a certain day, seems to the Chair to come under the same rule, aud the Chair will, therefore, decide the motion not in order.

Senator CONNESS-From that decision of the Chair I appeal.

The Chief Justice put the question, and directed the Clerk to read the order adopted to-day on motion of Senator Edmunds, as follows:

Ordered, That the Senate do now proceed to vote on the articles, according to the rules of the Senate.

Senator Howard called for the yeas and nays on the question whether the decision of the chair should be sustained. The vote was taken and resulted, yeas, 24; nays, 30, as follows:-.

YEAS. Messrs. Anthony, Bayard, Buckalew, Conkling, Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Ferry, Fessenden, Fowler, Grimes, Henderson, Hendricks, Johnson, McCreery, Morgan, Norton, Patterson (Tenn.), Salsbury, Sherman, Trumbull, Van Winkle, Vickers and Willey-24.

NAYS.-Messrs. Cameron, Cattell, Chandler, Cole, Conness, Corbett, Cragin, Drake, Edmunds, Frelinghuysen, Harlan, Howard, Howe, Morrill (Me.). Morrill (Vt.), Morton, Nye, Patterson (N. H.), Pomeroy, Ramsey, Ross, Sprague. Stewart, Sumner, Thayer, Tipton, Wade, Williams, Wilson and Yates-30.

So the decision of the Chief Justice was reversed and the order to adjourn oyer was ruled to be in order.

Mr. HENDERSON moved to amend the order by inserting in lieu thereof the words "Wednesday, the striking out the words "Tuesday, the 26th inst.," and first day of July next."

The amendment was rejected by the following

vote:

YEAS.-Messrs. Bayard, Buckalew, Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Fessenden, Fowler, Grimes, Henderson, Hendricks, Johnson, McCreery, Norton, Patterson (Tenn.), Ross, Saulsbury, Trumbull, Van Winkle, Vickers and Willey-20. NAYS.-Messrs. Anthony, Cameron, Cattell, Chandler, Cole, Conkling, Conness. Corbett, Cragin, Drake, Edmunds, Ferry, Frelinghuysen, Harlan, Howard, Howe, Morgan, Morrill (Me.), Morrill (Vt.), Morton, Nye, Patterson (N. H.), Pomeroy, Ramsey, Sherman, Sprague, Stewart, Sumner, Thayer, Tipton, Wade, Williams, Wilson and Yates-30.

Mr. MCCREERY moved to amend the order by making it read "adjourn without day."

The question was taken, and the amendment was rejected. Yeas, 6; nays, 47, as follows:

YEAS.-Messrs. Bayard, Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, McCreery, and Vickers-6.

NAYS.-Messrs. Anthony, Buckalew, Cameron, Cattell, Chandler, Cole, Conkling, Conness, Corbett, Cragin, Drake, Edmunds, Ferry, Fessenden, Fowler, Frelinghuysen, Harlan, Henderson, Hendricks, Howard, Howe, Johnson, Morgan, Morrill (Me.), Morrill (Vt.), Morton, Norton, Nye, Patterson (N. H.), Patterson (Tenn.), Pomeroy, Ramsey, Ross, Saulsbury, Sherman, Sprague, Stewart, Sumner, Thayer, Tipton, Trumbull, Van Winkle, Wade, Williams, Wilson, and Yates-47.

Senator BUCKALEW moving to amend the order by providing for an adjournment till Monday, 25th inst. Rejected without a division, and the question recurred on the order as originally offered by Senator Williams, to adjourn the court till Tuesday, the 26th

inst.

The vote was taken, and resulted--yeas, 32; nays, 21, as follows:

YEAS.-Messrs. Anthony, Cameron, Cattell, Chandler, Cole, Conness, Corbett, Cragin, Drake, Edmunds, Frelinghuysen, Harlan, Howard, Howe, Morrill (Me.), Morrill (Vt.) Morton, Nye, Patterson (N. H.), Pomeroy, Ramsey. Ross, Sprague, Stewart, Sumner, Thayer, Tipton, Van Winkle, Wade, Williams, Wilson and Yates-32.

NAYS-Messrs. Bayard, Buckalew, Conkling, Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Ferry, Fessenden, Fowler, Johnson, Henderson, Hendricks, McCreery, Morgan, Norton, Patterson (Tenn.), Saulsbury, Sherman. Trumbull, Vickers and Willey-21.

The Chief Justice announced the result, and said:"So the Senate, sitting as a Court of Impeachment, stands adjourned till the 26th inst., at twelve o'clock." The Chief Justice then left the chair, and tlie members of the House retired to their own chamber.

The spectators who had filled every seat and standing place in the galleries immediately began to pour out into halls and corridors, and the curtain fell on the national drama of impeachment.

The closing scene was not marked by the slightest breach of decorum or of good order.
