Evening Session.
The House reassembled at half past seven O'clock
Very few members present, but the galleries
crowded.
Mr. FARNswoRTH, who had fifteen minutes OF his
time left the time tho taken, concluded
spsssA, onpree.ins ha belief that Senate had
patriotism and drmness enough TO convict Andrew
johnson and to remove him from the Office which h,
had so long disgraced. The nation had been too lonl
dgraced by this accidental President by this wh
had been made President by the assassin 3 pistol HI
should be removed II cut short his term by only
day and should be sent down to postery degraded
incapable OF holding any Office Of trust profit undc
| the government OF the United States.
Mr. BAKER, rep Of H. next addressed the House in
support Of the resolution OF impeachment He thought
the time had como for it, He believed the President
had plainly, directly consciously violated important
ACT Of Congress and with the purpose OF setting at
naught The Presidents former bad lacked but
one element OF Impeachment, and that was tho ee-
| ment OF defntene-s.
Al this point aud motion OF Mr. FARSswoKrs ladies'
were admitted 10 take back seats in the hall and cloak
rooms.
Mr.. Baker cortnued--That element was now supplied
and therefore the impeachment should no longer be
delayed He claimed that tho attempt to Secre.
tary stanton and put General Thomas in his place
without the advice and cousert Of the Senate was
plain LITERAL positive violation Of the Tenure OF Office

The country had quite OF violence quite enough
OF and the man who iniima,es appeal to arms
10 resist tho laws should receive the wherng indgna-
ton OF the people, He longed for return Of good feel
Ing, based upon the great principle Of bar,y and

kr. PHELPS, dem of Nd, addressed the Fouss In
opposition TO tie resolution Of impeachment He said
that the had been foreshadowed, If
