TuE President DEFENCE.-N give
the latest developments in regard TO the
iupeaehment. The Washington Star maps
out the following as the probable line OF
defence which the President viii take:
First. GA appearing by counsel on
tFriiar next. motion 10 10 be made to have
the hearing postponed until the hrst Mon
dsy in Nav. Failing i'll tins, they VIII,
Second. Make motion to quash the
articles Of inpeachments on the ground
that, if trne. they do hot consu ute h'gh
crime or misdeneanor-
Third Exceptions will be taken to GER
tain 5, matters, on the ground that they
have prcjudged the case. and that the
Senate has already declared the Pr.sl-
dent guilty of the main charges, by the
rassace Of the resolution con iemning the
removal of Secretary Stanton.
Fourth. Exceptions will be taken 70
decentralization ofthe court. on the ground
that It is not the Senate of the United
States
Fifth. That the tenura-of- Office bill
cannot apply to tle case OF Mr, Stanton,
not only on account of she provlso IN the
FIRST sc zion. but also on the ground that
having teen passed after Mr. Stanton
appointment, it cannot be applied 10 his
tenure-of-ofhce without having a retroac-
tive effect, and becoming thereby an er
post facto law.
Sixth. That Mr.. Stanton was functu'
otficio after the 4th day Of March 1867,
the expiration Of Mr. Lincdln's first term,
and that he has not since that date been
Secretary of War ds JAre, although e1er-
cising the functions Of that office.
Ii the second article, the Star says:
This morning it is stated by leading
democrats that the President has fully de
cided upon his pans, and that there will
be no hesitancy In carrying them out
First On next Friday his counsel Will
appear in court ready to proceed with the
, trial, and Will not ask for an extension OF
time. They viii then object to every re-
publican Senator who has expressed an
opinion as to MIR Johnsons guilt or IN
uocenee on the articles Of impeachment,
being allowed to act ~ jurors IN the case
This point, they, of course, do not expect
to carry, but have II ovcrruled. Second
The question as to whether Senators from
twenty-seycn States constitute the Sen
at. OF the United States will be raised
They Will take the same view Of this mat
ter that tue President has Ill all his pub
lie speeches and State papers maintained,
that until ten Southern States have their
representatives in the House and Senate
of the United States, that the latter body
is not competent to take up. try and pass
judgment on 50 vital and lmportans a
question as impoachlng the highest officer
known to the government FAILING on
both these questions, the President will
then firmly refuse to proceed with his
trial, asserting that III such court JUS
tee cannot be done him, and then viii
rise and tender his resignation ana appeal
directly to the people to sustain him, and
to pass judgment al the ballot-box against
the Senate Of the United States.
