" ASHlNGToN. April |


The Senate, after rea,ling the Journal
when was interrupted by summers inef
fcctual attempt TO declare Judge Chase,
aec,dIng vote yesterday illegal, proceeded
to the question Of evidence, which inter.
rupted yesterdays open proceedings. Both
Managcrs and Presidents counsel congum
c." H!cir hour. aid Judge Chase was sus
tanned hy strict party vote.
Pending the discussion. the Managers
declined saying what use they intended to
make Of The DISPUTED evidence, rs il would
expose their plan Of prosecution. The
question at issue was whether what General
Thomas said and dil could be received
under this rullpg /. was proven that
Thomas had said he Intended to use force
and to break the door down, and that he
said afterwards TINT he had been deferred
from using force by his arrest.
The next contest arose over the admis
sibilty of what Thomas did and said pre-.
yious to receiving orders to take the War
Office. Judge Chase ruled this out. Drake
appealed, and the appeal was sustained by
2S to 20.
The Managers stated previous to tho vote
that they intended proving by this evidence
that Thomas, in the line of his conspiracy
attempted to corrupt employees oC the War
Office.
Butler violently assailcd. denoral Thom>
as ut this point, declaring that he had hccn
disgraced by President Lincoln md Stanton,
and, aside from assisting the President in
his conspiracy, gratitied bis own 'ivalc
revenge.
Under the ruling il w srroved that short
~ after Thomas WAS rcins,n,c cd as Adiutant-
General, he called up the heads of Bureaus
ana chief caaPloyccs, and informed them that
the strict rules then existing would be
relaxed. cross examination exhibited the
fact that these speeches were nd lrcssed
only to employees in the Adiutant. Generals
oilicc, and that no nilusion was made to
Thomas probably becoming Secretary of
War. This point created quite n buz in
the Senate. Further evidence showed that
Thomas has said he intended applying to
General Grant for force toput him in posses
sion.
Eut three Witnesses were examined TO-
day.
