ment but was withdrawn after Messrs.
Donnelly and Washburne had withdrawn
their offensive remarks.
Pending a motion to adjourn, Mr.. Donnelly
asked leave that Mr.. Washburne and he
might initiate General Thomas and Secre.

perance man. Adjourned.
IMPEACHMENT COURT-Mr Bingham dis
avowed partisan prejudices he was there as
a representative of the people. He applied
the term hired frequently to the Presidents
counsel, and said that Mr.. Eyart's speech
! had in it more Latia than law more rhetoric
than logic, and more intellectual pyrotech-
| MICS than either. He argued that the Pres
| ident had no right to cOnstrue laws and
| that the Supreme Court had no possible
| Jurisdiction in the case. He narrated Mr..
Lincoln's assassination, and incidents from
! the fugitive slave law, and its operations.
| He said the gentleman who opened this
! case claimed that the President may iu-
| diCially construe the Constitution for him
| self, and may determine whether your laws
are passed under the Constitution, and
! whether he shall execute them.
Mr.. r.Bingham repeated this that it might be
! buried into the hearts of the Senators. The
laws were only to be executed if it pleased
| mis- highness Andrew johnson, first king of
the United States. If the President can do
this, as insisted on by his advocates, Mr..
| Bingham insisted that the Constitution,
which we had been taught to revere as the
bulwarS of our liberties, is constitution
which invites violation of the law, not
obedience to it. And he insisted farther,
that if Senators by their judgment should
| countenance this plea they would be the
architects of their country's ruin. They
would give over this land to endless chaos
and anarchy.
No matter what demagogucs may say
about it out of this chamber the issue is
anarchy in this land, and the recording
angel of history is ready to trace it. That
is all of it. 1t is the head and front Of An
drew JohnsOn's offending that he has as
sumed to himself the prerOgatiye of inter
preting the Constitution and deciding upon
the laws for himself In spite OF all the
, lawyers tricks, in spite of all the technl
Calities, this was it. With all respect tC
Senators and to the able counsel after the
f weeks and weeks of discussion on this case
