stand they have the same privilege
as the holders of reserved seats at
public entertainments. The city is
full of those anxious to witness a
days proceedings, and, though
many to whom tickets are given do
not come, there is no arrangement
for filling the vacant places, which
is causing much complaint.
About twenty members came in
when the House was formally an
nounced, and the members increased
very little during the day. Many
members have gone home, and 9th
ers are improving their time in
bringing up their business.

Mr.. Ferry, of Michigan, testified

Gen, Emory's testimony was
heard attentively. The bearing of
the General was admirable; his
manner deliberate, clear and con-
else. The evidence of Col. Wallace
covered nearly the same ground as
that of Gen. Emory. The portion
or testimony which Gen. Butler ex-
pected to get out through the late
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Chandler, was ruled out. It was to
form part of the proof that the
President wanted to get Cooper in
to his present position as Assistant
Secretary, so that he could control
the moneys of the War Department
through Thomas and Cooper.
However, other votes of the Senate
upon admitting evidence, show

sion of these document seemed to
trouble the counsel for the defense
considerably, and the same may be
said of the exclusion of letters of
the Cabinet, denying some Of the
statements of Grant. The Managers
will not rest the proof of the Presi-
dents attempt to defeat the Consti-
tutional Amendment at one the tel

present the testimony of Col Wet

fed in substance before the Mana

Washington to consult Mr. Johnson
concerning this Constitution, and
that, in accordance with the advice
of the President, he telegraphed to
the South Carolina Convention to
reject the Amendment, which was
Immediately done.
WASHINGTON, April 3.
The Managers feel tonight that
they have made very great headway
with their case. The first step
was to recall Mr. Tinker, Manager
Of the Western Union Telegraph,
and after placing him on the stand,
to put in evidence a copy of the
fourteenth amendment to the Con
-sSitution, and also the Presidents
volunteer message to Congress on
the subject These were introduced
to sh ow the matter to. which the
telegra ms to Parsons, On the part of
President, related. Mr.. Tinker also
testified to- copy of a speech made
by Mr.. Johnson, on the 18th of
August to the committee from the
Philadelphia Convention, as forwar-
ded by telegraph to the Associated
Press. The attemp to introduce
this copy as an accurate report Of
Mr.. Johnson's speech was strongly
opposed by his counsel, but they
were promptly met at all points by
the Managers, and one point after
another made in favor of the reeep-.
ton of various short hand reports
were settled in favor of the Mana
gers. During the whole discussion
the counsel for the President ap-
peared greatly annoyed and much
disconnected. They appeared as if
they had relied upon shutting out
great deal of the proof by which it
was expected to prove the tenth az
ticle.
The general character Of the
speech in the east room was brought
out very clearly by the questions Of
Butler and the extracts read from
the reports made there. 1t appeared
that Col. Moore, the Presidents
private Secretary took the report of
the speech when written out for the
Associated Press and revised it
carefully. Still as SO revised, it con
tanned all the portions which are
charged in the tenth article. The
newspaper men examined it touch
ing the reports of this speech them
selves very handsomely. They
were all clear, prompt, and positive
in their answers and not in the least
disturbed by the labored attempt of
Mr.. Evarts to induce them by cum
ming questions to discredit their
own word. The arguments used
by the counsel for the defense to
disparage the method of taking the
report of speeches by short hand,
were made to court which under
stood the weakness of such argu-
ments too well, as the entire bust
ness of Congress is each day un-
answerable testimony to the accura-
cy attained by the present system of
photography. The argument made
by Gen. Butler, setting forth the re-
lance placed on such systems by the
Senate, was very forcible. 1t was
with great reluctance that the Pres
