The announcement Of this vote was received
with a. general rising in the Senate. After the
lapse of ten minutes counsel announced they
were ready to resume when sufficient quet
was restored. Mr.. Chase raped for fully i've
minutes before he succeeded in restoring order.
This is the first time during the trial that
these irregularities Lave occurred, and the I'M
portance of the vote may be inferred there
from. There was no applause or demonstra-
ton, but simply an arising from seats. Every
one seemed inclined to ask his neighbor what
he thought. This question involved the sup
port of the President by the Cabinet IN remov-
ing Stanton and appointing Thomas.
The next question was stated as follows: We
offer to prove that at the meetings OF the Cabl-
net, Mr.. Stanton being present, when the
Tenure-of-office bill came up for consideration,
tbe ouestion was asked and the opinion ex-
nressed that Mr.. Stanton and the other Cabi-
net officers appointed by Mr.. Lincoln did not
come under it's restrictions. Judge Chase
again decided the evidence admissible. Drake
appealed and the appeal was sustained by q
vote of % to &c. On this vote Sprague and
Sherman voted with the minority.
The next question was whether the CABINET
apprehended injury to the service by stanton $
continuance. The Senate refused to near tne
evidence by vote OF 10 to 30. On TINS vote
Wiley voted with the majority. Wenes was
then subjected to severe cross-examlnatlon'
but nothing new was elected.
Postmaster-GeneralJ James Randall was next
called. He said Blodgett was suspended from
the Augusta (Ga.) postoffice without the know
ledge of or consultation with the President.
r,u ,-norr of No annointments of perSops
in his department who could not take the test
oath, and Blodgett was suspended because OF
his Indictment for getting Office by perjury.
The defence then closed, reserving the right
to call other witnesses in case Stanbery' VINO
knew most of the matter, but was sick, thought
best. The court then adjourned.
