SENATE.

WASHINGTON. March. o.
The Senate galleries were crowded long be-
fore the hour of meeting, and by the time the
Senate was called to order not even standing
and doorway. Upon the floor were large
number of members of the House of Represen
tatives and others, entitled to that privilege.
After reading the journal of Saturdays pro.
ceedngs, Mr.. Boutwell, submitted resolution
providing for the final adjournment of the Sen
ate on the - day of March at - o'clock, and
gave notice that he would call it up as soon as
soon as the resolution now under consideration
was disposed of.
The consideration of unfinished business, be-
ing the resolution approving the action of the
President in regard to louisiana was resumed,
and Mr.. johnson of Tenn, being entitled to the
floor, began to speak at ten minutes past twelve
o'clock.
He first referred to the trouble IN the Ten
nessee Legislature in 1866, and the action OF the
federal government at that time in nstructing
Gen. Geo. III. Thomas in command of the fed
eral forces there. to strictly abstain from any
interference. In quoting the dispatch convey
ing such instructions to Gen. Thomas he said
the dispatch was signed by the Secretary of
War and written in the presence of the Presi-
dent. He declared that it was not his inten-
ton to give Inference to one single personal
matter, but to speak of public acts.
He then referred to the removal of General
p. III Sheridan from the command of the 9Th
military district, ON Aug 10Th, 1867, and SAID
it was in consequence of the wall which came
up from the people of that section. Why was
it that this man (Sheridan) had been selected
and sent back to those people who before con-
demned him and pray ed for his removal? He
(Johnson) knew the determination of the peo-
pie of the South. Their great object was tie be
restored to the Union. He would tell some of
those who were acting behind the curtain that
if they expected to STIR up another civil strife
and have ride into power for a third term,
then they might bid farewell to liberty. Gap

Referring to the action of the President in
regard to Louisiana, he said he would say what
Cato said to the ambassador of C8saf, "Let
him disband his legions and restore the COM
monwealth to liberty" Let him do that, and
be, (Johnson) as humble as he was, would
mount the rostrum and strive to have an indig-
nant people pardon him for his violation of the
law. johnson concluded at five minutes past

WASHINGTON, March pa few days ago the
commissioners of the Freedmen's Bank,
Messrs. Leopold, Crewell and Turner, rendered
their resignation to the Secretary Of the Treas.
ury, upon condition that the acceptance thereof
should release each from his respective bonds
and dvest them of all further responsibility.
Upon receipt of the designations Secretary Bris-
tow referred the subject to the Attorney Gene
raj, with view to elicit his opinion as to
whether he could legally accept the same. The
Attorney General replied, holding that the re
signations could not be accepted, nor could the
commissioners demand a divestiture of their
trusts.
Court of Claims.
The Court of Claims announced no decisions
to-day, but Immediately on assembling took
up the consolidated ease of the Merchants Ma
tional Bank and State National Bank of Bos-
ton against the United States. The cause of
action on the part of both petitioners is to re-
cover from the Federal government $3.50, 900 in
gold certificates, which were procured from
them in February, 1867, through the alleged
fraudulent connivance of the cashiers, Charles
H. Smith and Edward Carter, and used by
Julius f. Hartwel, to make good an equal
amount of money embezzled by him from the
United States Assistant Treasurer's office in
Boston. C. B. Goodrich and S. Bartlett of
