he will call it up tomorrow. Should the

doors will be closed at IL
O'Clock, at whcin hour the court meets for

Il is known that several Senators desire to
express their opinions before giving the
final vote, and they will support the

The Impeachment Trial.,
By Associated Press,

By Associated Press
WASHINGTON, July 26.-In the impeach-
ment trial to-day, Mr.. Carpenter comment.
ed upon the question of jurisdiction, and
cited many legal authorities upon that sub
iect, to show that the Senate had no juris-
diction in the case. He argued that the
Senate had perfect right in it's final de-
cision to consider that question again, and
reverse the decision already made. Every
Senator who voted guilty on the final ques-
tion, would by that vote assert jurisdiction.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Carpenters argu-
ment, manager Lord commenced the closing
argument on the part of the prosecutor,
which he concluded at $40 P. NJ, when the
court of impeachment adjourned until ten
o'clock to- morrow, when vote on the
final issue will be had.

Republican Senators I'm Caucus
~ Associated Press.


BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-The Republican
Senator's held long caucus this morning,
on the general subject Of the Appropriation
Bills. No formal action was taken but from
the prevalent tenor of the opinions exchang-
ed by large number of those in attendance,
it seems probable that the River and Haroor
Appropriation Bills will be dropped or
rejected by the Senate; and that an agree
ment will be reached concerning the other
bills during the present week. Notwith-
standing the fact, that most of the senators
who participated in the discussion were in
favor of rejecting the House River and Har-
Dor Bills and making no appropriations
whatever for that purpose this year, other
Republican Senators express the opinion
that the pending bill will certainly be passed,
although probably without a considerable
reduction in the amount in the aggregate,
and many changes in its items.

Adventure of a Great Picture.

The Paris correspondent of the New York
"Tines," writing under date of the 10Th
inst, says: Great pictures frequently have
singular adventures, and their histories fur
nish material enough for Volumes. The
adventures of the portrait of King Charles,
by VaIesquez; which is now in New York,
would make a number of Volumes if writ
ten out in detail. And what stories could
I've told of the portrait of the duchess of De-
vonshire, the lost Gainsborough, for which
a reward of 81 900 Is now offered. One of
Prudhon's pictures has also been before the
public of late. This is the "Amour ct
Psyche" made familiar throughout the
world by the art ofengraving. 1t belonged
to the gallery of the Due de Morny, and at
his sale was purchased by the late Baron de
Telliero. At his death the picture became
the property of his daughter, the princess
Sagan. Wishing to dispose of it, Madame
de Sagan sent it to an expert named Gar
Dier to fix price upon it. Such works are
almost priceless, but for sales some sum
must be named, and here that is left to the
expert. For some time the princess heard
nothing, but one day she was surprised by
visit from another expert named Laro,
who asked permission to say in his cata-
logue that this picture came from the Tel
liere gallery. Madame de Sagan forbade
| the sale of course, GARNER had sold the pic
.ure to one Vervier, who had given it to NJ.
Worms for debit and he has instructed Laro
to sell it.. The tribunal ordered the picture
restored to its owner, but the princess would
not prosecute for malum fdes.

make the Secretaries permanent officials
would, for this reason alone be nearly
impossible, and a much stronger reason
against it still remains to be stated. II
these offices were filled by trained civilians,
there would be no Offices at all for the
higher politicians to occupy,-no offices IN
which the ablest men in America could be
placed, to advise aud control an incapable
or feeble President. At present, the trained
and experienced administrator rarely
reaches the White House. The Presidents
chair is usually filled by the politician who
divides the electors least, and who may
be as capable as Mr., Lincoln, or as inca
pable as Mr.. Pierce, and to debar all the
able candidates for the Presidency from
accepting office would be to O~straCise poll
tical ability almost in terms. Even Mr..
Lincoln owed much to Mr.. Seward, and
MIR. Hayes will certainly require the aid
Of some one ofhis experienced competitors
if only for the management Of Foreign
Affairs. To Danish Daniel Webster from
public life because he had not reached the
Presidency would be silly. yet if the Cabi-
net Offices were filled by civilians, men
like Daniel Webster would be virtu-
ally banished. Those offices must be
filled by politicians and to secure
their honesty is q task almost beyond
the Presidents power. He cannot
even select them freely, for he must
respect any bargains his party may have
made, and he cannot by any effort Of his
own secure them decent pay. The promi-
nent men in American politics are usually
poor men, and to make poor men Secre-
taries of State, place them in the most ex-
pensive capital in the world, and pay them
less than $4,000 a year, is to offer them
every temptation for illicit gain. Yet this
is what is done in the United States, aud
the President, as President, has no power
to alter the system. He can instigate his
own party to vote an increase of salaries,
or he can even recommend such Increase
by Message, but If he doss, he will be ovsr-
whelmed with Obloquy. The regular
American yeoman, who does not pay his
clergyman decently-we speak of the
rural districts-and thinks his doctor we'll
off with 1000 dollars a year, cannot under
stand what a Secretary of State wants
with twenty times as much. He feels as
the English country gentleman felt in
6S8,-that he is being taxed that a place
man may be fat, and to the extent of his
capacity he resents any increase in his
servants direct wages. If they steal, he
thinks, they do not steal, from him. At
all events, the President has no direct pow
er in the matter, and Mr.. Hayes, with his
Secretaries selected for him, with no pow.
er Of paying them decently, and with no
authority to compel the Senate to accept
his nominations, will be in no position
at first to inaugurate a reign of honest
men. He can punish the dishonest, but
that of itself has been proved to be no
sufficient guarantee.
