UauATI-Aner our report closed. Nr.
aoxsso c1nunned Bis remarks on the tsaare.
He commended that the Senate hal always
Possessed the power given to 1t in the teau rs-
of-ofhce ACT, and he did not receive racsfuily
thr tmputations which had been thrown ont
mich ssS not se
true. This power now held by the Senate per-
tanned to it by the constitution, and II they
repealed it they would knowledge that their
enactment of It had been unconstitutional. and
all that they had done with it had been wrong
and unjustIf1able, and that the whole i'm peach.
ment trial had been stupepdous farce. that
the act was only designed 10 hamper ana hin
der Andrew Johnson, because he did not accord
with us In politics. By its repeal We give
strength to the arguments Of the counsel OF
Andrew johnson that he possessed the power
OF removal. The republican masses who Ia ad
made such great sacrifices to preserve this
government approved of the ten ure. o (. Off ,e
act when ii was passed. they did not want 1t
Senate guilty OF great levity IL it shou Id do so
Mr.. Howe made long argument in favor OF
retaining the law. He had been unwilling
even TO accepttoe modification Of the IN ilciary
COMMITTEE. and had not, In fact, voted for it.
MI. Pomeroy preferred that the law sh ould
be repealed, but he would 90 with his party
friends and vote for COMMITTEES of Confer
ence. He, however, did not desire this Com.
mitee Of Cor terence to follow the example OF
some other committees, and assume to report
on matters which were not entr listed TO them
Mr.. Warner did not consider that the mes
ton OF the constitutionality Of the law was
now before the Senate.
The question was then taken on the motion
Of Mr.. Grimes. that the Senate recede from Its
amendments, when it was rejected as follows:
feds-Messrs. Bay ard, Casserly, Cole, Davis,
Fenton, Fes sender, Fo wler, g Grimes, McCreery.
Mcdonald. Morton, Pool, Robertson, Ross,
Sprague, Stockton, Thayer, Thurman, Wick
ers, and Warner-2O
Nays-Messrs. Abbott, Anthony, Foreman,
Brownlow, Buckingham, Cameron, Carpenter,
Cattell, ConklIng. Cragin, Drake. Eimuuds.
Ferry, Gilbert, HamlIn, Harlan, Harris, How.
ard. Howe, kellogg, morrill,, Nye, Patterson,
Pomeroy, Pratt, Ramsey, Rice, Sawyer, Schurz.
Scott, Spencer, Sumner. Upton, Trumbull,
Wiley, Williams, and Wiison-37
Mr.. Sherman, who would have voted in the
Affirmative, paired on with Mr.. Chandler. who
wonld nave voted in the negative.
The question then rec urred on the motion Of
MT. Trumbull to ask for a COMMITTEE Of Con-
ference, which was agreed to.
The Senate then went into Executive session,
and shortly thereafter adjourned.
The Vice President then appointed Messrs
Trumbull, Edmunds, and Grimes as the Con.
ference Committee.

The "stringency" in the New York mo,ey
market seems TO have been a little game OF the
bears for speculative purposes. In place OF
sending morey to Canada to effect a rise bv
taxing II on the market the operators now trans.
Ter II to Philadelphia. The operation saves the
Odium attached TO the old methods of ..Iockins
mp, and has the appearance Of being lexiti-
mate movement. Respectable banking nou ses
nave, therefore, supposed they could under take
~ without loss OF prestige, but the sufferers by
the opeia ration have already scented out that the
transfer Is not in the way OF ordinary ex.
cnanges and the game is therefore likely to be
blocked. The assumption 10 that the loo king

The strength Of the vote BY which the Senate
Yesterday refused TO recede from its amend
ments to the House bill repeating the Tenure
of-Ofiiee act rather surprised those who had
figured out q considerable gain for uncondi.
ional repeal since the question was last before
the Senate. As we take IL, the vote in the
House has really encouraged the Senators
opposed TO repeal to stand firm. That vote
showed majority OF the Republicans of the
House to be opposed to unconditional repeal.
but the afhlIstion of the Democrats with the
minority enabled the repealers to reject the
Senate amendments. Tue Senator'S now ask
why tney should be called upon to give way
wnen decided majority of the Republicans in
both Houses have voted for the Senate bill. and
