THE LATEST

Washington was rather quiet on Sunday, but
on Monday the excitement was more intense
than on Saturday-only being equalled by
that of 1861. Large crowds, notwithstand-
ing the unfair weather, gathered at the Cap
itol four hours before the time of the meet
ing of Congress, and when the doors were
opened every available space was densely
packed in a few minutes-not half being
able to crowd into the hall.
At precisely 10 O'Clock the Speakers CAV
el commanded attention on the floor, and
breath less silence in the galleries Seven
hours were given for speech making, and
then the vote would be taken on the resoIu-
tion of Impeachment.
Mr.. Ashley was the first speaker. He
spoke of the gravity of the subject and dep
recated party spirit, and favored impeach-
ment. Mr.. Boyer, of Pa; Washburne, of
Illinois; Wilson, of Iowa; Woodbridge, Of
Vermont; Stokes, of Tennessee. and others,
made speeches in favor of impeachment
Kelsey, of New York; Blair and Briggs, of
Michigan Woodward, of Pa ;; Fernando
Wood and Others, were opposed to impeach-
ment
At half past fouro' clock as Thaddeus Ste
vcns roseto close the debate, there was great
excitement IN the House Mr. Stevens
stood 1.-THE Speaker desk. and was about
TO commence his remarks when Mr. Bing
ham moved to extend the time allowed to
Mr. Stevens. to one hour. Instantly a half
dozen Democrats objected. 4 motion was
made to adjourn, and disposition to fill
buster. when Mr. Bingham withdrew his
motion. Mr.. Stevens asked permission to
have his speech read, as his voice could moi;
be heard This was granted, and Hon f.
| Mcpherson, the Clerk of the House, read
Mr.. Stevens speech amid the close attention
Of the House.
The vote was now taken, and the impeach-
nlent resolution passed the House by vote
of one hundred and twenty six ayes to for
ty-seven nays.
In the afternoon the President sent to
the Senate a document of forty pages, with
the nomination Of Thomas Ewing. Sr., as
Secretary of War cd interim, in favor OF
| his right to remove Stanton. It is said to
be an unusually weak paper
Duringth afternoon Gen Lorenzo Thom-
as called at the War Office and made another
demand on Mr.. Stanton for its possession,
but was, of course, refused. Stanton re-
mains in the Office, and receives the mails.
