attempt to change the rule so as to allow
as many of the Managers and counsel to
participate in final debate as may wish to
dose, was negatived-10 to So so the rule
remained unchanged, The examination
of General Sherman was resumed; he was
asked If, after the restoration of Mr.. Stan
ton, he had formed an opinion as to
whether the good of the service required
another man in the War Office, and if he
had expressed that opinion to the Presi-
dent; objected to, and after debate ques-

had advised the President that he should
be removed; question rejected-18 to 49,
Mr.. r. j. Meigs, Clerk of the District SUI

the warrant for the arrest of General
Thomas at about2 o'clock on the morning

issued were offered in evidence, and OBJ

sustained-26- to 25-and General Sher-

members Of the Cabinet were such that he
