overruled the Chief Justice, who de-
cided admissible what transpired in
Cabinet council. From the earnest
ness exhibited by the counsel, and the
interest of the Senators, it was evil
dent that this was one of the strain
ing points of the trial. The counte-
nances of the Presidents counsel fell;

isfaction, when n decisive vote was
tGIen-yeas 20; nays 80. The SUISSE
quent objections of the managers to

Radical camps declare johnson can
not receive over five Radical votes.
House Radicals, who have been
working aSsiduously, say the House
of Representatives and the Radical
party arc on trial, and the question is
