5fUDGE GROEsBmCk S DEFENCE or TIE
PRESIDENT BEFORE THE IMpEACu-
MmNT COURT.
Washington is still ringing with
praises of Judge Groesbeck's splendid
speech in favour Of the president. It is
oulogized by ovcry one, Radical and
Conservative alike, and is pronounce
by some to be the most eloquent address
ever made before the American Senate.
It's affect was all the greater from the
FACT that expectation had not been ex-
travagant, us few professed to knaw
anything about~thc ability of Mr.. Grocs.
beck, Who, during the .precvS:tling, atas sss
of the trial, had taken no prominent part
i'll the proceedings and remained COM
pctcly silent, seeming to be more orna
mental than useful in the conduct al tho
case. When he did speak however, his
words were listened to with hreathlcss
attention. 1t is surprising how many
converSt have been made to the side Of
acQuittal since tins address, and how
general has become the opinion that the
trial cannot possibly result in conviction.

WHY sCHoFlELD WAS NOMINATED.

|. There has been a great effort here to
give Importance and significance 10 the
MHoa!Minntion 4In Of Con Schofeld as Sccrcta.
ry ofhSVar, but. from facts which have
been procured from proper sources, it
can be stated with confidence that the
nomination was made simply to relieve
the Hon, Thomas Ewing, who urged the
President to withdraw his name from
the Senate. The President wished TO
comply, and yet he deemed it his duty
to ,havc nomination pending for the
Office, rs he regarded The ollico vacant
Gen. SchoGeld happening TO be in the
city, his name occurree, TO the President,
and be sent it to The Senate pro fo,7Nu,
without any idea that the Senate
would act upon that or any other nomi-
nation during tho pending trial.
