Third Dispatch.
PASSAGE OF THE IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTION.
WASHINGTON, February 24-5.3O P. N.
The House has just passed the impeach-
ment resolution. The only Republicans
who voted in the negative with the Demo-
Gratis were Stewart, of New York, and
Cary, of Ohio.
WASHINGTON, February 24-s P. M
The most profound silence followed the
announcement of the vote in the House.
Mr.. Stanton said to-day that he wished
the reporters would let him alone.
The day closes with Stanton dining in
the War Department with Chandler and
others; the President at dinner; Thomas
at home; and everything quiet.
The President is reported as having said
that he recognizes no one but General
Thomas as Secretary of War, and means
to recognize no one else. he concluded
the interview with his visitor by saying
{" God and the American people will make
it all right, and save our institutions"
The President appends to his message
nominating Hon. Thomas Ewing as Secre-
tary of War the assertion that he has not
and does not intend violating the tenure
of-ofice or any other law. He argues his
right even under that law to remove Stan
ton and appoint Secretary ad interim.
The following is telegraphed as specl'
men of to.day's speeches in the House:
Mr.. Paine, who had the floor, said ~
yield two minutes to the gentleman from
Indiana" (Mr. Shanks.)
Mr.. Shanks said: "Mr. Speaker, my
opinion is that in this emergency this
House should speak but one word and
strike but one blow, and / desire that the
blow should come first. am tired, sir, o.
this protracted discussion, which postpones
an hour which the people have long desired
to see. am in favor of the official death
of Andrew Johnson, and think al shoulc
vote for this impeachment without delay
I am not surprised that one who com
menced his career in drunkenness shouie
end it in crime"
It is stated Secretary McCulloch WILL no
recognize Stanton's official requislt1ons.
