| WASHINGTON, May 12-In the C0Brt OF
Impeachment, the Chief Justice presented q
form for taking the final vote, which, in sub
stance, is as follows: Senator --, how say
you? Is the respondent guilty or not guilty of
high crimes and misdemean0rs in Office, as
charged in Article -? Each Senator is to
rise in his place when his name is called
Most of the Articles charge the President
with misdemeanors only, but the Fourth Arti-
Gle charges him with high crime.
The excitement is tremendous, and the Sen.
ate was in session till midnight
Sherman said he could not find the President
guilty on the First, but indicated he would vote
for the Second, Fourth and Eleventh Articles
Stewart took strong ground for conviction
on all.
Grimes regretted the difficulty between Con-
gress and the President, but could not in his
judicial capacity record the vote that the Pres
ident had been guilty of high crimes and mis-
demeanors. He believed the Tenure of Office
law unconstitutional; though it not strange
that the President sought to test the question
before the Courts and believed the President
had the power to remove during recess or
while the Senate was in session.
Edmunds thought the President guilty enly
of the first three Articles he could not sup
port the Articles which charged conspiracy !:
pointmrnt OF Thomas high crime.
Williams expressed about the same views as
Edmunds. He would vote for the First. Sec
ond and Eighth, and possibly other Articles.
Howe spoke nearly in the same strain as
Sherman. He could not vote for the First Ar
ticle, but would support the Secoad, Third and
Eleventh.
Hendricks opposed all the Articles, and said
ii Impeachment were carried at all. it would
be carried as a par tisan measure, and not as
measure of justice.
Pomeroy and Morrill, indicated that they
would vote for all the principal Articles; but
would vete against that about the Presidents
speeches, and the one resting ON the evidences
of Gen. Emory.
At this point a recess of fifteen minutes was
taken. During the time there was much CON-
pairing Of notes among the impeachers; and
both inside and outside the Senate the feeling
was generally that the case against the .Presi-
dent began to look doubtful, but all said it was
not yet time to give it up, though Wade and
WILSON said there did not appear to be much
chance for conviction. There was talk about
postponing the vote from tomorrow till some
time next month, bus the proposition did not
seem to be considered with general favor.
I Deolittle was the first speaker after the re-
cess. He followed Hendricks views, and de-
liyered an eloquent speech against the whole
body of Articles.
Davis took the extreme Democratic position
in reki.iMl to tho matter, and of course will
vote mot guilty.
Henderson read carefully prepared opinion
to the effect that the Tenure of Office law did
not apply to Stantons case. The President
had violated no law. He had no sympathy
with the Presidents political course, but could
not decide the great question at issue on party
grounds His remarks indicated that he would
vote against all the principal Articles.
Z Dixon and Johnson both declared there was
no case made out against the President.
Trnmbull made d strong argument against
she First and Second Articles, which arc the
basis of the whole ease The Act creating the
War Department gave the President the pow
er to remove the Secretary, aud the Tenure of
Once law did not apply to Stanton's case, |
whose term expired with Mr. Lincolns. He |
that hs could mt vote for any of the
Articles. tss#
Fessenden spoke last and longest in the af. |
