10 PRODUCTION OF Gen. Sherman's convers
the tions with Andrew johnson, FASTENED t
his progress Of the trial, and interfered wi
ex. the plans of the Presidents counsel (
an consuming time. The President is,
lp Gen. Butler asserted, "a great convers
he ZIONIST, and it would be easy to col
nd sumo month, or even more, in givir
ng his talks with newspaper correspondent
: and office brokers', to whom he has col
K. fdentially communicated, for publcatiO
tn and. PRONUNCIATION, his plans Of actor
If, The Senate has now ruled out all thi
d. description Of evidence, and among thos
r who voted to thus sustain the Manager
we're several Democrats, who thus admit
ed the lega' force Of Gen. Buffers argu
ment. On the other hand some Rcpub
lican Senators voted to admit all the evi
dencc which the Presidents counsel nigh
desire to introduce
a When the members of the Cabinet are
: called upon the stand it is understoo
G that they will be permitted to relate
S their conversations with the President as
his constitutional advisers The Mana
. gers expect that the testimony for the de-
fence will be closed on Tuesday, or at the
! farthcst Oh Wednesday. But il we are to
; have frequent repetition Of the debates
of Saturday between the lawyers on either
side, it will take week more to get
through with the testimony Meanwhile
the Senate will have to decide either TO
adhere to its rule, which provides that
only two lawyers on each side shall par.
ticipatc In the final argument, or that
they shall each and all have chance to
display their eloquence. Whether the
Senators will vote that they must listeu
during twenty -four hours instead ofeight
hours to legal arguments remains to be
seen. But those who want to speak are
exercising strong pressure.
No Importance is attached here to an
elaborate article, with which the Chief
Justice has been associated undertaking
to prove that if Andrew johnson is re.
moved neither Mr. Wade nor Mr. Colfax
could succeed him, on the. ground that
neither one is an officer according to the
requirements of Cons titution. 1t is true
that in 1909 the Senate decided, by vote
Of fourteen to eleven, that Senator was
not an officer, and this was urged in
Mach 1862, as reason why Senators
should not be Obliged to take the iron
clad oath. Mr.. Sumner asserted that
Senators were civil officers and when the
subject was again brought up in Deem.
Der OF that year, he made one of his cx.
haustivc speeches on the subject, quoting
numerous authorities which sustained
|
his position. This speech may be found !
