NEW YORK, May 6.
Mr. Bingham continued his argument to-day. lle
claimed that Mr. Johnson had admitted the validity of
the applicability to Mr. Stanton of the Tenure Law by
sending to the Senate his reasons for Mr. Stanton's removal
in conformity with the requirements of the law. Mr.
Johnson's action had been based upon the intention to
recognise the Tenure Law if the Senate concurred in the
suspension of Mr. Stanton, but to resist and deny the law
in the event of the Senate's non-concurrence. Mr. Bingham
predicted disastrousresulto if tke Senate conceded the right
of the President to judge for himself constitutionally the
acts of Congress. The assertion that Mr. Johnson sought
the decision of the courts infthe Stanton case was a shallow
pretence. The Senate might think Mr. Johnson's offence
trivial, and that they could forgive it, but he reminded
the senators that they had not the pardoning power.
