The court resumed evidence regarding
the presidents speeches. Regarding that
delivered to the committee from the Phila-
delphia convention, the Associated Press
copy corrected by Colonel Moore, the presi-
dents private secretary. and one reproduced
from original stenographic notes, were ad-
mitted. The Cleveland speech was next
taken up. Mr.. Chase ruled against the ad-
mission OF the Clevelend Leaders, version
as published. The copy was a condensation
from long hand notes.
Mr.. Drake appealed, and the appeal was
sustained by 30 to II, Messrs. Johnson and
Norton voting yea, and Mr.. Trumbull nay.
Two other versions of the Cleveland speech
were admitted. Most of the day was spent
in discussing the art Of reporting. Two
attempts were made to adjourn to Monday,

to-day.
Further adVices from Paraguay states

Grant on johnson.
The Tribune says editorially:
I'VE have assurances from Washington
that General Grant Ends it not inconsistent
with his duty as a soldier to announce 1t as
his opinion that the only hope for the peace
of the country is the success of the pending
impeachment trial. He feels that national
security demands the removal of the presi-
dent. If the trial should fail the people can
only expect more assumptions of power and
a more determined resistance to law. When
the general of the armies entertains this
conviction there is no room for doubt as to
the duty of the senate. The loyal nation
demands the presidents removal.n
