The following is one of the sentences of
Manager Williams's speech:
Look at the bloody carnival of New Or.
leans, and show mercy to loyalty and in.
nocence, and not to treason.r
After Mr.. Williams concluded Mr.. Butler
explained the connection OF the managers
with the Alta Vela affair. Abiding to Mr..
Nelson's reference thereto Mr.. Butler said
it was not only a suppression of truth but a
suggestion of falsehood.
Mr.. Nelson replied that this was not the
time to measure character with Mr.. Butler
that could be done some other time. Mr..
Nelson did not think he would suffer by
comparison. Considerable excitement en-
sued.
Mr.. Logan wanted to say something, but
Senator Conklin who was sitting near him,
said; General, be quiet,r and the affair
subsidized with much suppressed wrath.
Mr.. EVarts commenced. His first accent
hushed the excited assemblage. Mr..
Evarts spoke to adjournment, and will con-
tinue tomorrow.
The indications are that Mr.. Davis will

| thority that General Grant has advised Cen
eral Schofleld TO decline the War Depart
ment and request the President to withdraw
| his name.
There was a full cabinet meeting to-day
A synopsis of Mr.. Evarts' speech is ut
| terly impossible. Abiding to parties to the
trial-the House as accusers, the President
as the accused, the Senators as jurors, the
| Chief Justice presiding-Mr. Eyarts said:
1--WE want no volunteers; let no one raise so
much as little finger to jostle the con
! testant.so
Arguing the judicial character of the pro-
ceedings, Mr.. Evarts said: ''In reply to all
the managers who propose TO speak in be-
half of all the people he would reply in one
sentence representing but one voice, Thou
shalt not take the name of the Lord thy
| God in vain,
Mr.. Evarts speaking of the people says
they know their government and they mean
to maintain it. and when they hear that this
| tremendous enginery of impeachment and
trial and threatened conviction and sentence
has been brought into play, that that power
which has lain in the Constitution like a
sword in its sheath is now drawn they wish
to know what crime the President is &C.
cused of. They know that bribery and trea-
son are crimes, and those who are guilty of
them should be brought into question and
deposed. They are ready to believe that there
are other great crimes and misdemeanors
touching the conduct of the government and
the welfare of the State, which may equally
fall within the jurisdiction and the duty
but they wish to know what the crimes are;
they wish to know whether the President
has betrayed cur liberties or our possessions
to a foreign State; they wish to know
whether he has delivered up fortress or
surrendered State.
They wish to know whether he has made
merchandise of the public trust, or turned
authority to private gain; and when they
learn that none of these things are charged
or even declaimed about, they yet seek
further information, and they are told he
has removed member Of his Cabinet
Now, the people are familiar with the re-
moval of Cabinet officers, so that on the
mere statement 1T does not strike them as
either an unprecedented occurrence or as
one involving great danger to the state,
Well, how comes it to be crime. they
inquire. Why Congress passed law for
the first time in the history of the govern
ment, and undertook to control this re.
moval from office, and provided that if the
President should violate it it should be q
crime, or rather a misdemeanor, and high
misdemeanor, and now that he has removed
or undertaken to remove member of hit
Cabinet he is to be removed himself for that
cause. He undertook to make an ad interim
Secretary of War, and you are to have made
for you an ad interim President in conse
/ quence.
