The Heralds Washington special gives
the debate in the Senate Executive session
IN the Stanton case. esss IL.
Senator Dixon finished his speech of
Saturday, showing the objections given by
the Presidents conclusive arguments for
Stanton's removal; he reviewed Stanton's
record and eulOgized the President.
Mr.. Fessenden replied, defending Stan,
ton, and referred TO his services during the
war.
Mr.. Dixon here remarked that johnson
rendered as great service during the war as
Stanton.
MIR. Fessenden continued, holding that
the reasons of the President for the re-
moyal were insufficient, and no motive
should induce the Chief Magistrate to take
such important steps, except such as the
nation would justify. He defended Stanton
from the charges of being responsible for
the horrors of Andersonyille.
MIR. Buckalew reiterated the statement
relative to AndersonVille, and added that
Stanton's policy seemed. to be the policy of
the government during the war.
Mr.. Hendricks said that after having |
declared the tenure of Office bill unconstis |
tutional, it was improper for Stanton to |
hold office under il. He claimed that |
Stanton was responsible for the New Or
leans riot, and as a man of honor should |
make it his bounden duty to protect the |
President, for he had the dispatch in his |
pocket which could have saved the head of
the nation from the slanders and defama-
ton heaped upon him.
Mr.. Morton didn't think the President /
was responsible for the New Orleans riot
neither was Mr.. Stanton and he believed |
the Immediate delivery of the dispatch
would have made any difference in The re-
suit.
Mr.. Davis followed in legal argument
in support of the President.
Mr.. Howard closed the, debate in reply /
to the Conservatives.
The vote was then taken, and resulted in
30 yeas for the majority report, and nays 6.
A certified copy of the resolution was
sent to the President, Gen. Grant and Mr..
Stanton. Great interest is felt in the next

Reported for the Union and Dispatch By 8, j.
Henderson, Esq.
In actions found on tort to property. defendants
cannot justify under order from officers in the
Confederate army unless the orders of the Of
tceT, and the circumstances by which the de-
PENDANTS were surrounded, had amounted to
duress, under which they were forced unWill-
ingly to obey such orders.
Witherspoon. ct al, in error, 0s. Woody
Woody instituted suit before Justice of
the Peace of Wayne county, against James
Nitherspoon, James Montague and Du
Keaton, to recover damages for taking and
converting to their use, one horse, the
property Of the plaintiff.
The Justice rendered Judgment against
the defendants, from which they appealed
to the Circuit Court, where a trial was had
which resulted in verdict and Judgment
in favor of the plaintiff. The defendants
moved for a new trial, which was refused,
and therefore they have appealed in error
TO this court.
The proof set out in the record disclosss
substantially this state of facts: The de-
PENDANTS, who were at the time Confederate
soldiers, sometime in the fall or winter of
1864, in company with SQUAD of Confede-
rate soldiers, took the plaintiffs horse,
worth about seventy-fve dolIf.rs, out Of the
lot and carried him of, and he had never
been returned.
The defendants sought to Justify under
orders from officers in the Confederate
army. The only error assigned in argu-
ment Srises upon the charge Of the court.
The bill of exceptions reciles that, ''The
court charged the Jury, among other
things not excepted 10, that il was insisted
by the defendants that they we're soldiers
in the employ OF the Confederate govern
ment, obeying the orders of their superior
officers, and not liable for acts committed
under such circumstances. The court was
Of the opinion, and 80 instructed the Jury,
that there was no Confederate government
and that if they had acted under the imme-
diate orders of General Hood, il would
have been no protection TO them, but they
would be liable to the plaintiff for torts TO
his property"
The question presented in this case has
been so frequently before this court, and
has been 30 fully and elaborately consid
cred, that it is unnecessary to say
more than that the rule of law as
applicable TO the facts of this case was
stated with substantial accuracy by his
honor, the Circuit Judge. II has not been
shown nor insisted there was existing at
the time, any impending or august neces-
sity for taking the property.
Ifthe orders ofthe officer, and circumstan
ces by which the defendants were surroun-
dered, had amounted to duress, under which
they we're forced unwillingly to participate
10 the taking of the plaintiffs horse, then
they would not have been liable, but there
is no pretense for the assumption, nor has
il been insisted that the defendants acted
under any duress whatever.
Affirm the judgment
