this object was to seize officers Of the govern
,ment, and, by their influence reconstruct the
Union in the interests Of tho rebellious States.
No criminal was ever arraigned who offered a
more unsatisfactory excuse for his crimes. He
argues that Stanton's removal and Grants ap-
pointment was an acknowledgement of the le-
gality of the Tenure of Office bill, behind which
the. President could not go. The subsequent
attempt to remove Stanton, unauthorized by the
constitution and violation Of the Presidents
oath Of Office, requires verdict of guilty under
the frstartiole. The Cabinets advice was no
advice. 1t was the advice of servants to their
master. Boutwell, discussed the constitution, and
practice Of removals, closing his argument with
none of the predecessors of Mr.. johnson from
General Washington to Mr.. Lincoln, ever
claimed the power to remove a civil officer
during the scssion Of the Senate without its
consent He claimed that the act of 1895,
even If the right claimed under it was valid,
was Repealed by the act Of 1868. Boutwell,
argued in. favor Of the eonstitutionality Of the
tenure of Office act, claiming that johnson was
serving Linooln's term, and that the law COW
cred Stanton. He says the President seems to
have been under the influence Of criminal
purpose, 10 destroy Grant as well as remove

Mr. Moran opposed reconsideration, al

meeting had given general satisfaction; ara
thought that Mr.. Newman had received very
respectful answer.
Ion the question being taken Oh NIr Harmon
motion, the mover was the only one who 7oteo
IN the affirmative.

listed concerning the action Of the Council IN
the matter of the late appropriation to, and the
manner Of its expenditure Tor the repairs to
the poor's House.
The President said the only way in which
the matter could be settled was for the CLERK
