We need not add that the true Odd

These votes are very significant,
not only confirming the right of vo-
ting exercised by Justice Chase, but
compelling the managers TO conduct
the trial upon strictly legal, and not
upon mere political grounds. Chief
Justice Chase has therefore the right
TO decide all questions that may arise,
and if any member Of the Senate
deems his decisions wrong, he can ap-
peal, and call for the yeas and nays.
If the Senate determines otherwise
with them rests the responsibility
This is right let every . tub stand

themselves unwilling TO place their

The "late lamented" has had "a
father many stories, and some not ia
his credit but the following from the
New York Times, in reference to the
efforts of certain Senators TO get Mr..
Seward and Montgomery Blair out Of
the Cabinet, illustrates very forcibly
Mr.. Lincoln's shrewdness and tact in
managing the Congressional meddlers,
which, the Times observes, was q
gread deal more effective than Mr.
Johnsons efforts in that line. But to
the story:
A committee Of nine, with Senator
Colamer at its head, waited upon the
President TO present 10 him this pa
per. When II had been read, Mr..
Lincoln said he approved of It hearth
ly, but he thought the Senators had
made a mistake. He was willing and
anxious to consult their wishes in the
matter, but he wanted TO ask them
one question 10 answer until
they had given il due reflection.
You say" said he, "that | ought
TO havea Cabinet, every member Of
which agrees with me in opinion. Is
that exactly what you means Don't
you really mean that ought TO have
a Cabinet, every member Of which
agrees with you in opinion. Isn't
that what you really wanti !" And
telling them to sleep on it and come
back when they had answered it sat
isfactorily, he dismissed them until
they should see fitto return. "But,
said he, when relating the story

CHEAP CoNsoLATIoS.-The Radicals
rejoiced wonderfully over the fact
that Judge Black had Withdrawn as
counsel for the President in The i'm,
peachment case. His withdra wal was
simply upon point ofprotessional ct
iquette which he could not conscien.
tiously ignore The personal rela.
tions existing between him and the
President, are of the most friendly
and confidential character, and bis
opinion is strengthened in the justice
of the position occupied by the Prcsi.
dent, and of his triumphal acquittal
from the wicked and malicious char.
ges alleged against him. No just
man, who is not prejudiced by parti
zan association, or opinion can req.
sonably determine otherwise. The
Radical press has endeavored TO make
il appear as though there was diff.
Guilty between Mr.. Black and tho
President, but we know TO the con.
trary, and their wish is only father
to the thought. The loyal chicken
crowed prematurcly this time.

having repassed il over the Executive
veto, and the House on the 9th by O
vote of III to 81, did the same thing.
when il came up for consideration
Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, with whom it
originated) proposed to deal out 6-
teen minutes of his hour TO Judge
Woodward, Of Pennsylvania, in which
to discuss the great questions involved
in the measure. That gentleman,
however, very properly declined to ac-
cept such proposition, and finally
succeeded in obtaining half an hour
for bis argument in opposition 10 the
bill. He was listened TO with marked
attention on both sides of the House
as he proceeded with his speech, which
was conceded TO have been both able
aud impressive. After he had conclu-
ded, Mr. Hubbard, Of Connecticut, was
allowed FIVE minutes in which TO pre-
sent bis views ia opposition TO the
measure, and then Mr. Wilson con-
sumed the remainder Of his hour and
called the previous question, under
the operation Of which the bill passed
as above stated. Radical legislation
