WASHINGTON, April l-iSeRdte. After read
ing the journal, which was interrupted by
Mr.. Summers Intellectual attempt 70 declare
Judge Chase's casting vote illegal, the
question of evidence which interrupted yes
terday's proceedings was resumed. Both
the managers and counsel consumed their
hour. and Judge Chase was sustained by
strict party vote. Pending the discussion
the managers declined answering what use
they intended making of the disputed evi
dence, as it would expose their plan of pros
ecution. The question at issue was whether
what Mr.. Thomas said and did could be re-
ceiyed under this ruling. 1t WAS proven
that Mr. Thomas said he intended using
force, and to break the door down, and
afterward he said he was deferred from using
force by his arrest.
The next contest arose over the adnlis.
sibility of what General Thomas said and

war office.
Chief Justice Chase ruled it out.
MIR. Drake appealed, and the appeal was
sustained by 2S to p.
The managers stated previous to the vote
that they intended proving by this evidence
that General Thomas, in the llue Ui his
conspiracy attempted to corrupt the en-
plOyes of the war office.
MIR. Butler violently assailed General
Thomas during this controversy rs having
been disgraced by Mr.. Lincoln and Secre-
tary Stanton, and that aside from assisting
the president in his conspiracy he grauhed
his revenge.
Under this ruling it was proved that
shortly after General Thomas reinstatement
as adiutant general, he called up the head )
of bureaus and chief employees, and informed
them that strict rules would be relaxed.
The cress.examinatlOn elected the fact That
these speeches were confined to enIployts ui
the adiutant generals department, aud that
no allusion was made to General Thomas
probably becoming secretary Of war. This
point created quite buzz. Further eva
dence showed that General Thomas said he
intended applying to General Grant f1I
| force to put him in possession OF the wai
office. But three witnesses were examined
to-day. Adjourned.
