The Waynesburg Republican. [volume] (Waynesburg, Pa.) 1867-18??, 1868-05-20

retary Of War. This statement comes
from the best Of sources, and is credit
ted by great many Senators.
The opinion is freely expressed by
the Republican Senators that a free
use of money has been made. The
members OF the whisky ring claim this
morning that they have disposed of
two millions of money during the past
ten days, but preserve an entire reti-
cence.
Court reassembled at 11:3O A. NJ.
As soon as the journal was read, Mr..
Chandler rose and said the condition
Of his colleague Mr., Howard, was such
rs to prevent his being present, and
he therefore moved that when the
Court adjourn it will be until Saturday
next.
On motion of Mr.. Drake the
Senate then adjourned until Satur-
day.
The Missouri delegation waited up
on Mr.. Henderson to demand that he
vote for conviction on some OF the ar
ticles or resign his position.
The Southern Union men, of whom
there are large number in the city
have been the most cast down of any
class here. They have taken measures
to-day to organize for the purpose of
placing the situation of the Union
men in the South as they deemed it
would be, should the President be ac-
quilted, before the Senators. These
men all agree that there would be no
safety whatever in Southern delegates
to Chicago or members elect to Con-
| gress returning to their homes. All
the letters received from the South
from Union men since the trial began
have exhibited great anxiety lest the
Senate should fail to convict.
The speech of Mr.. Morton in the
Senate last night produced marked
effect, His earnestness fixed the at
tention of all Senators upon him.
One of the strongest points he made
was to read the resolution by which
the Senate reinstatcd Stanton, and
then call over slowly the names of
those who voted for it. From this he
reasoned that whose names he had
read had committed themselves to
sustain the tenure of Office law, and
that the senatorial oath, under which
they then acted, was as binding as their
Judicial oath.
The following is the resolution re-
i0stating Stanton, adopted ON the 18th
Of January last:
Resoiced, "That having considered
the evidence and reasons given by the
President in his report of 18th ofDe-
cembcr, 1867, for the suspension of
Edwin NJ. Stanton, the Senate do not
concur in such suspension.
This resolution was voted for ly the
following Senators, all of whom may
reasonably be supposed to believe the
civil tenure act applicable to Stanton's
case, and can scarceIy Y escape the con-
clusion that his removal was an infrac-
ton of that law; Messrs. Anthony,
Cameron, Cattcll, Chandler, Cole,
Conkling, Conness, Corbett, Cragin,
Drake, Edwards, Ferry, Fessenden,
Fowler Frelinghuyscn, Harlan, How

Morrill,, VT; Morton, Nyc,. Patter-
son, \. H., Pomcroy, Ramsey, Stew
art, Sumner, Thaycr, Upton, Trum-
bull, Wade Wiley, Williams, and
Wilson.
On this vote not single Republic
an Senator voted in the negative.

The following is the resolution
adoped by the Senate, in executive
