however, that he intends 10 speak during this az
ternoon, and the excitement is very great in CON
sequence. After the recess Garrett Davis took
the floor in support of the Presidents innocence.

spoke fifteen minutes against the first three arti-
cles, eeas ed without declaring or intmating that
he was in favor Of any Of The articles This has
somewhat discouraged the friends of impeach-
