came out by turns to the rofceioiv, and Of

tended TO make night OF H. FOR the lirsi
three hours the speeches were pretty much
conhned 10 the conservative side OF the

the action Of the Presileut, in the premises.
Senator BAYARo spoke ut great length,
reviewing the tenure of Office bill, aua con
tending that it eneroached on the constitu-

was followed by Messrs Dixon, Hendricks
and Buckalew. Mr. Howe replied TO these
Arguments and maintained their unsound-
ness. Mr.. Sumner roared very gently, and
advocated return of the message TO the
President, or its reference TO the military
committee.
Senator EDMUNps offered resolution,
for which Senator Wilson moved sub$,i-
tu;e. as follows:
! Whereas, The Senate has received anu
considered the communication of the Pres
ident, stating that he has removed Edwin
4 VI. Stanton, Secretary Of War, aud had dos
ignated the Adjutant General OF the Army
to act as Secretary of War al iaicrtm !;
therefore,
Resolved, by the Senate of the United
States, That under the Constitution and
laws OF the United States, the President
las no POWER 10 remove the Secretary Of
War and designate any other officer to PER.
form the duties Of that Office.
The substitute of Senator Wilson was
agreed to without uivisiou-29 to 6. The
injunction Of secrecy was removed. and co..
pies of the resolution were ordered to be
communicated h the President, the Score
tary Of War, and Adjutant General Thorn
as. The Senate determined to sit to-mor-
