CHICAGO, Nav IL.

A Washington special to night says
that Senator Grimes in his remarks On
the secre, session of the Senate to-day
stated 1t as his opinion that Stanton's
case was not covered by the tenure of
Office act, and argued that under the act
of 1859 the President had the right to
remove him. He also declared that the
Senate not being in session at the time
did not effect the case. He freely &C
oul,ted the President Of all idea Of con
spiracy and of ell intention to violate the
constitution or laws of the United States.
Mr.. Grimes said. laying aside all pOliti-
cal feeling, he could not in his judicial
capacity vote for the conviction Of the
respondent. He thought a verdict for
the impeachers would establish a prece-
dent for getting rid of an unacceptable
executive.
WASHINGTON, May II.
While the Senate was in secret session

know the course of debate inside /; subse-
uuent inquiries made of all those who

pressed themselves against the conviction
of the President, while Henderson was
against the impeachment articles except
the l1th Sherman and Howe according
10 general accord supported only the ID,
81, 4th, 9TH, and llth articles; Edmunds,
Williams aud Morrel will support all the
articles while Hendricks, Davis, Johnson
and Dixon opposed them.
Tomorrow has been set for the trial Of
Surratt and the prosecution are already
having witnesses summoned. Not GER
tain that the case will be tried as coun-
sci may show good reason for cOnIln-
uanCe.

II:3O tomorrow, 10 sit with open doors.
Agreed to.
Itis generally conceded the 1st article
of impeachment will not be agreed to.

REPUBLICAN, STATE TICKET.
Our School Lands.

The County Commissioners appointed
Hon. D. G. Sanders, Hon. J. P. CrOther,
and ]. @ A. Smith appraisers of our
School Lands. By a constitutional pro-.
vision these lands cannot be sold for less
than FIVE dollars per acre. The Land
Commissioner of the State has reported
10 the County Clerk of this county that
there are nine thousand and Seventy-one
acres of these lands in this county. We
think that the Commissioner has under.
estimated the same. We have at least
twenty-five whole sections and a part of
one more, which should give US at least
fourteen thousand acres. Why The com
missioner was unable 10 find this latter
number of acres we do not kuow,-we
suppose perhaps that the nearly four
sections lying within the Indian reserva-
ton may account for a portion of it.
Now it becomes the duty of the three
appraisers to estimate and appraise the
value of the prairie land in tracts not ex.
eeeding forty acres, and the timber land
in tracts not exceeding ten acres, spd
make due return thereof promptly to the
County Clerk. They are also required
20 estimate the value of all improvements.
They shall also assess all damages done
to and waste committed on each tract as
appraised. They shall itemize the i'm
provements, and give the value of each.
The County Clerk shall sell these
lands at public auction for not less han
seven dollars per acre in addition to the
value Of the improvements, and for not
less than the appraisement, by giving
seventy days notice of the time and place
of sale. So we see that all lands sold
must bring seven dollars per ac-e plus
the difference between seven dollars and
the appraised value (if more than seven
dOllars), plus the value of the improve
menls.
my occupant Of school lands may re-
move his improvements at any time with
in six months, if he prefers to do so
rather than accept the appraised value
thereof or if they buy The land at the
sale!they are not required to pay the ap-
praised value of the improvements. If
another buys it, then the County Treas,
urer is required to pay the appraised
value of the improvement to the person
occupying the land when sold.
Purchasers of school lands must pay
down on prairie land O~ne-tenih, and on
timber land One-half of the purchase
money, and must give a note for balance
payable January 1850, bearing interest
payable annually in advance on The first
day of January of each year at en- per
cent. per annum. The note must be in.
dOrscd by two free holders of the county,
and one additional endorser for each five
hundred dollars; and 10 case of non.pay.
ment of principal or interest at maturity,
the land and improvements thereon be.
come the property of the State. The
purchaser is TO receive title in fee only
upon full payment.
If lands are not sold when offered by
the Clerk, then it becomes the duty of
the County Commissioners to lease such
lands for a term not exceeding twenty
five years, by the Lessee paying annually
six per e upon the appraised value.
The lands TO be appraised every five
years during the term of the lease.
