The SPEAKER stated that the regular
business in order was the proposed i'm
peachment of the President of the United
States, on which the gentleman from Mas
sachusctts was entitled to the floor.
Mr.. BOUTWELL, finished his speech
commenced yesterday.
Mr.. WILSON, of Iowa. chairman of the
judiciary committee, obtained the floor
and proceeded to address the House against
the Impeachment resolution. In conclu-
sion he said: believe the country desires
to have the case disposed OF nov; they de-
sire to have it out of the way, either by
sending articles of impeachment to the
Senate at once, or living the whole subject
| on the table. / believe the people OF the
country desire that we shall have done
with this subject in order that
we may give our undivided attention
| to other matters, and therefore having
| thus gone hastily, briefly and impeifectly
over the long argument of the gentleman
| from Massachusetts, and depending on the
| stength of the case as presented in the
minority report, or rather depending on
the weakness of the case as found in the
frecords, move the subject be laid on the
| table. ..
I The motion caused much excitement and
Ia hum of disapprobation from those mem-
bers favoring Impeachment.
| Mr.. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, eX,
|
NOT ask a vote on his motion. 1t was the
most extraordinary thing he ever heard of.
! The SPEAKER reminded Mr.. Stevens
that the morton was not debatable.
| Mr.. FARNSWORTH desired to know.
as a parliamentary question, whether ii
this subject was laid on the table, whether
if would prevent any member from calling
it up again as privileged question, and
moving the Impeachment of the President.
The SPEAKER replied that if this sub
;ect was now laid upon the table no mem
her conjd call it up as a privileged ques-
item. but any member could propose. the
Impeachment of the President or any other
civil officer, at any time, even though that
officer had already been presented to the
senate, tried and acquitted. =.

der in connection with the motion to lay
