The Diamond State ThraSher and Cleaner

We call the attention of Farmers to our Hnprord
Diamond State Thfdsher and Cleaner, with Double
Acting Separator. The practical operation Of these
Machines is such as will warrant us In advising those
in want of Thrashers and Cleaners TO examine
before purchasing elsewhere. We manufacture
three sizes:-No. L. 80 inch cylinder; No. 2, 30
inch cylinder; No. g. 20 inch cylinder. They
are of the best materials and workmanship and
ranted to suit purchasers Large or small Powers
can be used to drive them, as desired. Galvanized
sheet iron is used for selves and shaker bottoms
They run light, and unequaled in strength, capa-
city and durability dong their work rapidly and in
the best manner. The Machine is a model Of aim-
plicity in its construction and operation, and the
price of il much below others in the market. The
Double Shaker separates all the grain from the
straw-none is wasted; and the fan is unsurpassed
as Cleaner. The shoe can be easily detached from
the Shaker and the machine used Thrasher

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator umner
offered an order that hereafter all evidence
offered by either side be admitted as testi-
monv, without debate.
Mr.. CONFESS moved that the resolution he
on the table. Adopted.
Stanbery, counsel for the President, is still
sick. Evarts announced that he would pro-
coed without him.
Walter D. Cox, LAWYER, was called, and
asked in reference TO his connection with the
case of Stanton VS.. Thomas. Witness pro-
ceeded TO state conversation he had with
the President, when Butler objected
After some argument Of the case on both
sidcs-counsel saying he proposed to prove
that the President had employed Cox to test
the constitutionality OF the Tenure a Office
Act before the court-the Senate admitted
the evidence.
The witness said the President stated that
he desired to have proceedings instituted to
test the constitutionality of the Act, and
| wished him to consult with Stanbery on the
subject. Cox then proceeded to detail the
proceedings before Justice Cartier, resulting
in Thomas discharge, in spite OF the at
tempts of counsel to have him committed,
| so they could sue out writ of habeas cor
pus. He did not tell the Court nor opposing
counsel that it was his object to get the case
| in train to test the constitutiona!lty OF the
Tenure of Office Act, but supposed they dl-
vined his object.
! Bradley, ST., testified that he was advisory
counsel for General Thomas. lie stated IN
detail all the evils connected with the trial; ;
but nothing was elected which was not here
;ofore known.
Counsel for the defense protfered proof
that the President had informed the attor-
news for General Thomas that he had removed
Stanton, but would soon send to the Senate a
GOOD name to fill the position, and that he did
not anticipate resistance, but regarded the
arrangement as only temporary.
| The evidence was not admitted.
