characterized as trashy. No new points
were developed.

facts on which to hinge speculations. The
| provision allowing the impeachment court
| to employ the army and navy for the en-
| forcement of processes and judgments was
| stricken out. Argument, however, ELECTED
the assertion that the court can use both,
| and all the people should an emergency
require.

cussioR on the procedure articles.
The Republicans are holding caucus to-

Mr. Emory's evidence, on which the tenth
charge is based, simply shows that the pres
! ident asked certain questions, and expressed
| some establishment at Mr.. Emorys answers,
but gave him no orders.
