Tho Inpeaehncnt Trial.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-In the Sem
ate, Sumner offered a resolution that
Nelson, having used improper language
in this tribunal, calculated to provoke II
duel, aud disrespectful to the Court, he
deserved the censure Of the Senate.
Sherman objected to the consideration
of tho resolution. =. \ e
Sumner objected TO Nelson's making
any remarks except in explanation, but
tho Senate allowed him to read the let
tiers bearing on the question Of dates.
Nelson then explained what purported
to be the original letter signed by But
Ter, Logan and Garfield, datod March .,
and also a letter to the President by
Chauncey and Black, dated March lG,
Enclosing u copy with additional sigma
lures.
Cameron offered an order for night
sessions, which went over.
Eyarts then resumed his argument.
On resuming his argument E7artS al
luded 10 the manner in which the case
had been opened by Butler for the Man
ayers. He had used iuvective for nrgu-
ment, and had attempted to make it
take the place Of law md fact. Tho
Chinese method Of war is the science Of
concussion-the. blowing Of trumpcts,
the sounding of gongs and shouts and
groans in tho streets-but it has been
reserved for our day to see mn attempt
Of another kind at concession. II was
first directed against the stone walls Of
u fortress and was utterly Ineffective
and imperative. Not satisfied with
that, the Manager who opened their case
tried intellectual conclusion against the
walls Of the Senate. We have survived
all, however, and tue power Of concus-
sion gave way to discussion. Laugh
ter. Evarts then quoted from Buffers
speech to show what the latter under
stood to be impeachable ofenses. Eynrts
next proceeded to discuss what are
termed tho chief charges in the indiet-
nent against the President, viz: A
breach Of tho Tenure Of Office Act. lie
quoted from the debate on the bill Us
published ia the Globe, to show that the
Senate, when it passed it, did not look
upon 1t AZ q peuahmsasurc which might
result in impeachment Of officers who
mightdisrsardit. He coutended that
q breach ofa statute was i~mpenehable
and was not subject to jurisdiction here,
but only before the great forum OF the
people upon the hustiugs. III no could
succeed in convincing the Senate Of this
he would be able to show that the Man.
ayers had attempted to mix what was
purely political with what is essentially
Judicial. He proceeded to argue that
the Tenure of 0Gice bill does ubt cover
tho case of Stanton, and the proviso to
the first section Of the law gives the
President very clearly tue power to re-
move Cabinet officers.
After a fifteen minutes recess, Mr..
Evarts resumed his argument. He pro-
cceded sharply to criticize both Buffers
and Boutwell's arguments. He denied
that it was m offense or crime to en-
deavor to ascertain whetherW law was
unconstitutional. The President as well
as other officers had the u%ndonbted right
to test any lay passed BY Congress.
The Senate adjourned ut 4 o'clock.
Evarts' argument was not concluded.
