closing Of the argument, to call the previous
question Silent expectation reigned through
out the hall, when Mr.. Cary, Republican
member from Ohio, arose slowly from his
chair and exclaimed, "Mr. Speaker r.
All eyes were simultaneously turned up
on the member, and the crowded galleries
swayed forward to hear what might be said
The members of both sides of House seemed
TO listen with breathless attention. Mr..
Cary's seat is on the Democratic side, vet
he is recognized as a Republican in politics
and bis vote was regarded as certain TO be
cast in favor of the bill After pause he
continued, Il have four questions to pro
pound to my colleague Mr.. Bngham], and
upon bis answer shall depend The vote l
shall be called upon to give:
First-If General Grant should fail or re-
fuse to execute this law, or should execute
it in despotic manner, to what tribunal
void he be amenable for his Donfeasance or
malfeasance.
Second-As, by the terms Of the bill, the
President cannot interfere in case the Gen
eraI be tried by court-martial. if he so be
tried, who shall order and who shall cons
stitute the court?
Tbird-Not being a civil officer, can he be
impeached and il 50, by whom and before
what tribunal?
Fourth-If he cannot be arraigned before
any earthly tribunal, is he not made an abso-
lutte despot?
Before these four questions we're complet>
ed nearly all the radical members were upon
their feet, seemingly as much startled as if
clap of thunder had shaken the marble
building, and by the time Mr.. Cary had
resumed his seat, Butler, Boutwell,, Schenck,
and a number of others, we're crowding
around Bingham, and pressing upon him
their suggestions and prompting as to re-
ply-and such a reply! The logical force of
these four questions could not be lodged.
They told the whole story. Absolute des
potism nothing more, nothing less Mr..
Bingham, however, replied that Congress
bad made Gen. Grant and Congress could
unmske him aud that "Congress would
take care that he faithfully executed the
law" thus openly and boldly admitting that
Congress bad already usurped the constitu>
tionsl power of the Federal Executive, who
is sworn to see the laws faithfully executed
The effect of this reply must be to open
wide the eyes of the people if they value
their present form of constitutional govern
ment. The conservative members and the
crowded galleries. even his own radical par>
tisans, saw that Mr.. Bingham was complete
ly "cornered," but no Que seemed te antici-
pate on open acknowledgement Of treason
and usurpation.
