Impeachment, Stevens began his speech. He
said he considered long speeches a mark of
presumption and ignerance, and he would
therefore pass over the other Articles of In
peachment ard confne himself to the one pro-
posed by himself. This, he considered, was
amply sufficient to secure the conviction Of the
Presideat il there were no others. When An
drew Johnson succeeded to the Presidency he
took the oath to support the Constitution and
to see that the laws werc faithfully executed.
How had he kept this 0atha Let his public
acts for the last two years answer. dc would
not refer to what might be termed his minor
crimes, but would glance for moment at his
last grand and fagrant violation of the laws he
had sworn 10 execute; he referred to the re-

here entered into general discussion of the
Tenure Of Office act. At this point Stevens
was compelled to stop reading. wherenpon

have been parallel with theirs, but since they
sat in the White House, Congress had passed
| a law which made it criminal for him to re-
moye officers without the advice and consent
of the Senate. The President says he did not
remove Stanton under the Tenure OF Oihce
! law, and then in letter 20 the Secretary at
