WASHINGTON, March 30.-Secretary
Stanton has issued in the form of a gen.
eral order, the act of Congress amendatory
to the act passed March q, 1867, to provide
for the more efficient government of the
Rebel States. 1t is accompanied by a note
by the Department of State, saying the
foregoing act having been presented to the
President for his approval and not having
been returned by him within the time con-
additionally prescribed, had become law
without his approval.
Gen. Hancock has returned to this city,
and will, it is thought, issue a general
order assuming his new command. He
was with the President some time this morn
ing
The second Committee Of Conference, on
disagreeing to the amendments to the bill
to exempt certain manufactures from duty,
have agreed upon a report, which. it is
thought, will be adopted by the two Houses.
They alter the whisky sections so as
to inhict imprisonment and fine upon
all distilers, government officers and
others, connected with or colliding in
frauds, to forfeit the distilleries. in
such cases the other punishments are
stricken out. One Oh lue committee says
that the government constructors for the
machinery, etc, have not been benefited
by the change in the bill.
Mr.. Ferry, of Michigan, one of the COM
mittee, advocated an amendment, that I'M
manufactured lumber shall be exempt from
tax on sales, and Mr.. Brooks urged in be-
half of consumers, that -four should also be
thus exempted. The report so provides,
and those articles will, therefore, remain
free as under the present law.
Major Gen. Thomas, Col. William s.
Moore, Private Secretary of the President
and other witnesses, were at the Capitol
to-day, waiting to be called.
The Supreme Court, to-day gave their
opinion in a case from Massachusetts, in
volving the question of State tax on de-
posits in a Savings Bank. The points are
similar to thosein the Connecticut decision,
viz: That the tax can be imposed on de-
posits in such an institution, no matter in
what form invested.

him in Office by force Of arms, would be so
clearly in the wrong, and so inimical to the
best interests Of the people, that we have
no doubt the latter would rise as majesti-
cally as they did in 1851, and trample out
with relentless vigor all attempts at insur-
rection."
The Kreuz Zeitung (Aristocratic) says:
''North America is on the eve Of fresh
revolution. The government machinery
has come to a stand-still. The Executive
delies the Legislative, and the Legislative
retorts by impeaching the Executive, that
being the first step for his deposition.
Meanwhile the worst passions are unbrl-
died, commerce and industry are stagna--
ting, crime is rapidly on the increase, and
while good men are asking each other
despondingly, whittier is all this going to
lead us !? the elements of anarchy, violence
and rapine are triumphantly looking for
ward to a rich harvest. Such is the inhe-
rent weakness of democratic institutions;
such are the joys and beauties of a repub-
lican system of government"

dent of tie United States, and my associate,
Mr.. Wilson. will present the testimony.
Mr.. Wilson, wish to state in behalf Of
the managers that Notwithstanding the
meaning of the documents which we deem
important to be presented in the evidence
as set out in the exhibits accompanying the
answers, and also in some of the answers,
we are still Of the opinion it is proper for
us to introduce the documents originally
presented, by way of guarding against any
mishaps that might arise from imperfect
copies set out in the answers.
Mr.. Wilson then offered resolution in
the absence of the cath of office of Presi-
dent johnson, of the appointment of Sec
rotary Stanton by President Lincoln, and
of the ratification of said nominations of
Johnson's communication assigning his
reasons for the suspension of the Secretary
of War, after which the court adjourned
until IL O'Clock tomorrow.
The Chief Justice vacated the chair, and
the President pro tenn called the Senate to
order.
The report of the Committee of Confer
ence on the bill to relieve certain manufac-
turers from intern al tax, was taken up,
and after considerable debate was agreed
to, whereupon the Senate adjourned.
House of Representatives.
Mr.. Churchill introduced bill to amend
an act of March LIST, 1892, relative to va
cancies in the offices of President and Vice
President of the United States, requiring
a new election in case of an interval Of
eighteen months between the double va
cancy and the ordinary termination of the
Presidential term. Referred to the Judi
ciary Committee.
Mr.. Haight presented a joint resolution
as to the Withdrawing of the consent of the
State of New Jersey to the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States. The document was being read,
when Mr.. Washburne, of Illinois, moved
the adoption of the following resolution,
which was carried by so to IL:
Resolved, That the resolution adopted
by the Legislature of New Jersey purport
ing to withdraw the assent of said State TO
the constitutional amendment, known as
the fourteenth article, be returned by the
Speaker of the House to the gentleman
who presented it, for the reason that the
same is disrespectful to the House, and the
second clause and its title only shall be re-
ferred to in the journal and in the Con-
gressional Globe.

The Governor has issued a proclama-
ton ordering an election on the 9TH of
May in each county Of the State for
member of Congress for the State at
large, in accordance with the act Of the
Legislature Of the 18th Of March. Here
is chance for the Rev. Daniel Watkins.
Several white men are very anxious for
the place, and Gen. John b. Rogers, the
Senator from the McMinnville district,
has already announced himself candi@
date. The negroes have no member of
oncress of their own race, and now
there is a chance to test the question
whether they are wanted in Congress.
There are about $4,000 negro voters in
the State, while the white Radicals can
poll but little over half that number.
The white Radicals tell the negroes that
they have made them competent to hold
office, but take good care that the poor
negro gets no Office that is worth having
Pitch in, Daniel, this is free fight, and
if you cannot be elected, you can test the
sincerity of those Radicals who clamored
so vociferously for the repeal Of the
"odious sixteenth section. The Mem
phis Post thinks that West Tennessee is
entitled to this extra member, since the
Middle and Eastern divisions have the
Senators.

In the United States Circuit Court at
Chicago on the 9th inst, an important de-
cision was given by Judge Drummond, 10
the effect that witness called as an expert
can compel the payment Of his fees as an
expert, and that, too, before he gives his
testimony. The case in which the decision
was given was that Of Clark against the
city Of Chicago, for injuries sustained by
falling into hole in the sidewalk. Dr.
Beebe was called to testify, as an expert in
medical science. He refused to testify un-
less he received fees as an expert, to the
amount Of $25. The Judge decided that
he was right, and the fees were paid.
A dispatch from Galveston says that the
Treasury Agents, Sloanmaker and Ran
dali, have detected astounding frauds on
the revenue there, perpetrated through
bonded warehouses, and having ramifca-
tions at New Orleans and elsewhere. Sew
eral officials are involved. The frauds
are chiefly in tobacco and whisky. In the
bonded warehouses at Galveston four
hundred barrels, supposed to contain
whisky, were found filled with water, three
hundred empty, and fifty had been filled
with a combustible compound with the
view probably Of Destroying the warehouse
and all eyidencies Of the fraud. The par
ties implicated have fed.

New YORK, March 30-The Timea'

scribed in the reconstruction acts. No

THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH.


Is free speech in this country "a high
crime and misdemeanOr p The tenth
and eleventh articles of impeachment
against the President so declare. The
answer of the Chief Executive to this
charge is brief and conclusive 1t is in
these words:
"That of or concerning this his right of
freedom of opinion and of freedom of
speech, and this his exercise Of such rights
on all matters of public and political con-
sideration, and in respect of all public ser
wants or persons whatsoever engaged in or
connected Herewith, this respondent, as a
citizen or as President of the United
States, is not subject to question, inquisi-
ton, impeachment, or inculpation in any
form or manner whatsoever"
The verdict of the American people,
if it could be had, would be-So sag are

The Journal Of Commerce. remarks:
All the material points of the Presidents
answer to the House articles had been fore
Swallowed in the public journals. The
proper line of defense was so obvious to
every intelligent person who had studied
the subject, that it was almost impossible
TO err in anticipating it. But we doubt
whether many persons had looked for the
admirable and sufficient answer which was
rendered to the 10th and 18th articles. Mr..
johnson is there charged with the high
crimes and misdemeanors of making
L.. Inf of bia ciIa of tho
quarrel with Congress. 1t had long been
evident that these candid, if injudicious,
utterances ranked in the breasts of Radical
Congressman even worse than the original
causes Of their variance with the President.
People will forgive almost everything but
a plain statement of ones unfavorable
opinion of them. Mr.. Johnson's Tennessee
experiences had not accustomed him to
handle his opponents with kid gloves; and
he was only following lifelong habit
when he grappled in deadly earnest with
Congress upon the many occasions which
presented themselves during his Western
tour. Throwing off the reserve which he
had with difficulty maintained in his offl-
cial relations with Congress, sinking the
President in the citizen, becoming plain
Andrew johnson again, he delighted him
self and his immediate hearers, amused and
astonished the country, but exasperated
Congress, by pitching into the Legislative
branch of the government in regular rough
and-tumble style. But for this tour and
these slashing speeches il is doubtfnl If the
President would have been impeached.
