with the courts.
Only Brooks and Beck voted against the
impeachment in the Reconstruction Com

After his release from custody, General
Thomas found his Office door locked and
the key in the possession of Stanton. He
then went to Stanton's office, and there
found Stanton in company with Generals
Grant, Howard, and Dent, and ten men,
bers of Congress. Sentinels guarded the
doors, and visitors were only admitted after
their cards had been inspected. Several
cards were presented for Thomas, but ad-
mission was refused. Colonel Moore, the

Thomas, but admission was refused
Thomas remained in Stanton's room until

During the interview Stanton notified
Thomas that he would not give up the
Secretaryship or obey Thomas as Score
tary of War, and that he had instructed
all employees of the Department not u
