articles set fourth the offence punish
able as a mtisdemeanor by the law of
the District. Article six was laid I'M
der the statute of 1861, and charged
the respondent with conspiracy with
Thomas to seize by force upon proper
ty of the War Department in violation
of the tenure of office act.
Il Mr.. Boutwell, argued in reply to the
counsel and supported his argument
with citations that though the District
of Columbia was not Included by spe-
ciic designation, the act applied to the
District. An act of Congress aud the
Constitution were both laws, only the
latter was of superior authority. The
seventh article was laid on common
law and charge substantially the
same offences as those charged in the
sixth. The fifth and seventh articles
are based on common law aud set forth
the same offences as the fourth and
sixth, laid upon the act of July 81, 1861,
and as there can be no doubt of the
validity of the fifth aud seventh articles
it is immaterial whether the suggestion
made by the counsel for respondent, that
the conspiracy act of 1861 does not in
elude tina District of Columbia, is a
valid suggestion or not.
Mr. Boutwell, then proceeded to ex-
anime the evidence supporting the
charge. We find the President, if the
allegations are established, engaged in
all unlawful act. If Lorenzo Thomasor
