The Impeachment Trial-General Sherman's
Evidence Admitted.
The proceedings in the Court of Impeach-
ment yesterday were important and interest
ing. After the Senate had decided upon allow
ing all of the Managers and counsel to make
speeches after the close Of the testimony,
General Sherman was recalled, and the question
of the admissibility of his testimony was again
brought before the court. Hon. Reverdy john
son, of Maryland, completely overwhelmed the
prosecution by sending up written question
to the effect that when the Office Of Secretary
of War ad interim was offered to the witness
whether the President Eat the time Of making
such tender stated what his purpose in 80
doing was" Mr.. Butler of course objected to
it; but, probably shamed by the manner in
which it had acted on Saturday, the Senate by
a vote IF tNeesy-six to twenty-five decided
that an answer could be given. General
Sherman replied in the affirmative, when
Senator johnson offered the additional ques-
ton whether the witness could state If the
President said what his purpose was. Again
did the prosecution object, but the Chief
Justice ruled that 1t was admissible, and the
Senate sustained his ruling by the very close
vote of twenty-six to twenty-five. General
Sherman then upset the entire case of the
Managers by testifying that the President had
informed him that his. relations with Stanton
prevented the duties of the Office being pro-
perly administered, and that for the purpose
of promoting the interests Of the army he
desired to have him removed The General
further testified that the President expressed
to him wish to have the constitutionality of
the law tested.
That this admission Of General Shermans
testimony was very important act was made
evident not only by the strenuous opposition
of the Managers to its reception, but also by
the insolent manner in which Mr.. Butler in
timated that Senator Johnson was acting as
one Of the Presidents counsel, an insinuation
which was promptly and emphatically de-
nounced. On every side the case of the prose-
cution is falling to the ground for besides testi
flying that the purpose of the President was to
test the constitutionality of the law, General
Sherman also declared that nothing more was
said about the use Of force than that Mr..
Stanton was a coward and would not resist an
order for his removal.

The French Theatre.

The success of the French theatre during
marked and unequivocal character. The most
gloomy anticipations were INDUCED in by some
at the commencement of its career, but the re-
suits, as they can be seen at the present time,
must compel the most inveterate of those cynics
to alter their opinions. The causes of the won
but sufficient for any one possessing know
ledge of the manner in which q theatre should
be conducted. There are stockholders con-
nected with it, it is true, but their course has
been different from that Of its larger rival on
the same street. They do not seek to mono
police the best seats in the house without pay
ing for them, neither do they strut on the
stage behind the scenes, debating to the
manager what he should do. On the contrary,
the stockholders Of the French theatre en-
deavor to assist and encourage their manager
in the most substantial and efficient manner.
A suggestion has been made by the trustee in
his last report that the subscribers rights shall
be confined to engaging their seats in advance,
at their own option, for each season, by notice
given beforehand that they will take them, or in
default of which they waive their prior rights
The manager for the past season has
faithfully fulfilled the condition of his
lease by giving the subscribers forty five
nights of French drama. With regard to
the immense popularity acquired by the
French theatre, it is easily accounted for by
the uniformly superior character of the enter
tainments given there. The enterprise, energy
and artistic appreciation of the wants of the
amusement public of this city shown by Mr..
Bateman in bringing on the stage an 0p6ro
5ou6e company of unrivalled excellence, have
been emphatically endorsed by the liberal
''Grand Duchess" is now an undisputed fact
and 'sLa Belle Helene" with the merry,
sparkling, inimitable Tostee, bids fair to be
even greater favorte. Then the brilliant
season inaugurated by the great tragedienne,
Ristori, under Mr.. Grau's direction, in the
fall of 1866, was an epoch of more than ordinary
interest in theatrical annals. ''Medea, y
elizabeth" ''Mary Stuart" and ''Marie
Antoinette" presented an ensemble Of art, with
oil its accessories, that woke up many Of the
Rip Van Wrinkles of other theatres to the
knowledge that they were twenty years behind
hand in the amusement line. Thus all the
ominous predictions Of theatrical fogies have
received deserved rebuke in the triumphant
career of this beautiful little temple Of drama
and opera. One hundred and ninety-nine and
half mourners sit on the steps of the Cata-
combs and wonder at this state Of things, while
their establishment is deserted. The answer,
as we have shown, is simple one. Common
sense might have suggested 1t to these afflicted
people before. Now the French theatre has
taken hold on the affections Of the people
| that cannot be displaced.

Senator F. r. Frelinshuysen, Of New Jersey.
The first article Of impeachment proposes to
remove from his place the President of the
United States for having issued an order dis
missing from Office the Secretary Of War. 1t is
alleged that this dismissal violated certain
law, though Congress declared at the time the
law was made that removing the Secretary of
War would be no violation of it's letter or spirit
1t is also alleged that In thus removing the
Secretary the President has exercised power
not given by the constitution, though all the
learned expounders of the constitution hold
that it gives this power, and though every
President Of the United States has exercised
this power without question. 1t is obvious,
then, that this main impeachment article is
tissue of frivolous pretexts and falsities.
Every man in the country not blinded BY party
fury sees and understands this. How will
Senator Frelinghuysen vote on this point
When the question is distinctly put TO him IN
the Senate whether upon this tissue Of nonsense
he will consent to removal of the President OF
the United States from Office will he answer
yea or nay? Mr.. Frelinghuysen is an honor
able man, comes Of family distinguished in
the annals of the country, both in the field and
the forum-is a man Of cultivated intellect and
calm reason. Can he possibly vote to depose
President on charges that it is already seen
are without color of right? viii such a man
give up his reason to faction and serve 9
party rather than his country?

SENATOR GRIMES, OF IowA.--How will
Senator Grimes, of Iowa, vote on the
main article of impeachment-that article
that alleges the exercise of one of the Presi-
dents most necessary functions as reason
why he should be reovmed from Office? He
knows that its charges are false, that its
reasons are ridiculous, that it is mere party
sham. lie knows this, as every man of COM
mon sense in the country knows 1t. He knows
that to depose President on such pretences Is
to establish that in future the President only
holds Office during the pleasure of Congress,
and that to establish such principle Is

that article you favor an amend
ment 10 the Constitution making
suffrage universal, without regard
to previous condition, birth; po.

and urge that tho naturalization
laws 80 modified rs TO conform to
such IN amendment. / need not
say to you that your views in that
article expressed are in perfect nc
cord with mine. have long since
expressed myself in favor Of uni

FREQ government can only prosper
aud be permanent by the adoption
of this system. l would, therefore
repeal tho naturalization laws, and
give to all persons, not convicted
OF crime, who havo arrived at tho
age of majority, and who have re.
sidod in the township, county and
State tho time prescribed by law,
tho right TO vote. The naturalizn-

make use OF them for the purpose
of docoiving honest mon, and cheat.
ing thom out Of their voics;-and
this will continue to DO the case 80
long as tho laws remain as they
