FROM Warrington.
WAsH1NGToN, May Seaate-The court
was dense4y crowded. Mr.. Bingham con.
cluded in an effort as follows:
He might be pardoned for Quoting She
words of England's great historian-2that
had the case against James the Second
failed the tree Of liberty would have crum.
bled And shall it be said in history here.
after that through tine detection of the
American Senate the fair fabric of American
liberty crumbled into dust, and the name of
our republic faded away before the nations.
It is the spirit of justice, of liberty of equal
ity that makes your Constitution respected
everywhere. 1t gives the people the right
to make their own law, and it is this right
which is challenged by your recreant Pres
ident. He claims the power to make the
laws-to be their dictator.
If he is allowed to do so 1t will be by the
voice of the Senate, not by the free will of
the American people or through any neg
lect of their representatives. VIII the
Senate set him above the Constitution
which he has violated, and which he esWore
TO obey Perhaps he was saying too much,
but he asked Senators TO remember that
he was speaking to-day in behalf of a vic
lated Constitution and laws-of the rights
of free people-that he was speaking in
the name of half a million of braves who
slept in death to day, and who had died
that the nation might live. 1t only re-
mained for him to thank the Senate for
their attention, and to demand in the name
of the House Of Representatives and of a
free people the conviction Of this accused
President who stands guilty before God and
man Of the high crimes and misdemeanors
of which he stands impeached. Applause
followed, and Chief Justice Chase ordered
the galleries to be cleared.

by the Speaker in his Alta Yela explanation,
aud withdrew it all. The part read was
very caustic on Mr.. Nelson.

Whole, with the understanding that the
speakers should avoid discussing impeach-
ment.

by 20 to 80.
The doors were then closed.
A resolution to admit official reporters
was lost.
Mr.. Summers resolutions were discussed
to adjournment.
Mr.Donnelly says he was misunderstood in
the House; that he neither desired, nor
does he desire, reconciliation with Wash.
burne. His proposition to take drink
meant nothing of that kind.
General Grant sent a message to Congress
covering communications from General
Candy, detailing the evil effects.of compel
ling State officers of North and South Caro-
lima to take the test oath. Many good men
acting with the Union party can not take it.
Other good men who could, decline taking
it, feeling that unworthy motives would be
attributed to them. General Grant expresses
no opinion on the subject; he merely trans.
mits General Canby's letter.
The protest of the white people Of South
Carolina against the Constitution was re-
ferred to the reconstruction committee,
