ARGUMENTS IN IMPEACHMENT.

THE COUNSEL TO CLOSE THIS wEFK-A LONG
DFBAIE n THE COURT PROBABLE.
Icy rLIFGRAPH the TRIBUNE.I
WAsmxGIoN, July 2O.-Two speeches were made
to-day on the impeachment trial-one by Mr.. Blair
for the defendant and one BIZ Mr., Lynde for the
malagers-lry legal arguments, both of them. Mr.
Carpenter was absent, sick, having given way Oh
account Of the excessive heat. An effort was maze
for pos ponement that account, but 1t was not
successful. Mr.. Blair then opened the case. Both
Mr. Black and Mr. Carpenter Will make arguments,
and two of the managers will speak, namely aeSsis.
Lap'an and Lord. II is generally conceded that
so far as the managers and counsel are concerned,
they will close the case tuis week aud submit it TO
the Senate.
How long time the Senate will take to discuss
principles and prelimnarcs before taking vote no
body can pretend TO say. In the johnson impcach-
ment case Senators did not make arguments, bus
were required to file their opinions if they desired TO
be- placed on record. In the present case Senators
discussed in secret session for more than two weeks
tie questions whether Mr.. BeIknap was out OF Office
at the time of his impeachment, and whether Tue
Senate had right to try an officer after he was OUT
of Office Some of the arguments, the injunction OF
secrecy having been removed have since appeared
in The record. Other Senators, who spoke eXtempo-
rary without notice, hIve not VT tea their re-
marks for publication, and they are lost. 1t Is
said that some of this class, among thcm Mr.. Conk-
ling, will ask to be hcacd in open Senate, and when
the discussion in that body has begun, neither the
heat the entrestics of the House the Injury to
the public business will divert the members.
There is q point of much inIpoIta &c yet to he de-
termined The counsel have entered the claim that
the Senate could only decide the question OF Jnris-
diction ai'irmatively by twO-thirs vote. The
Senate has not yet considered that claim, and the
20 Scnators who voted against jurisdiction VIII
want 10 be heard. II may b. said that the Senate,
by going on with the trial, decided that subject
but the movements to-day of Mr. COnhliug and
other opponents of Jurisdiction suggested to many
that tie case was by means disposed OF. IL Is
suggested that, as the 90, who were presumed TO
have acted cOnscientiOusly, voted against nrISdic-
ton, they cannot now vote t. convict man "hOm
they declared they had no rgh TO try. 1t would
hardly seem reasonable, il referring to the claim OF
counsel regarding Il tw0-tirds vote, to expect the
Senate 10 declare its own Geci ion Illegal or to re-
affirm it, and tat too, in the apo case. OF course.
If the 30 Senators, any c0 brdbie mup!iy OF

LIFE OF WILLIAM T. GARNER.

William T. Garner was born about the year 1913,
in Washngt yn-place, in this city. lie was the son
of Thomas Garner, an Engshman, who cane to this
country when young man, and began the manu-
facture of print-clohs of which, at the time Of his
death in 1863 he wa, the largest producer i'll
the world. William T. Garner was about ~
years Of age at the time of his death. In
early boyhood he entered the establishment OF
his father, AMI grew mp with thorough
and practical knowledge of the business which later
in life he controlled By his fathers death he inner
tied fortune which he himself stated to he valued
at from 80 900 900 20 $50 900, 900 The relations
between father and son had always been of a pecu-
Harly confidential nature, and the young man was
therefore fully competent not only to manage TINS
enormous fortune but alsoto direct intclliCcny tho
immense manufacturing interests left in his charge.
Mr. Garner was the head of the house known as
Garner Johnson having their place of business at
Nos q T. g. and : Worth-st. He estimated to
he worth about 81 900 600. Resides the business
here he had ave large cotton mills C0hOes, others
in Rochester, Little Falls Pleasant Valley, New
burQh and Reading Penn; also PRINT works AT
Wappingcr Falls and llaverstraw, having IN his EN-
ploy from 900 to 900 persons In the cloth printing
he employed ~ machines, being double the number
used by any other maiiIffaeturer corporation IN
the country. This ind y.dGalJ ownership of mill
property was fully equal to one-quaSer OF the en-
tire Fall River manufacturing district There Is
probably no single connected with cotton
manu- acturing interests in the world whose
loss will make itself more generally felt. Gar
nor's prints are widely andy, favorably
known throughout the country. His relations
and transactions with n. Il. Cla1in Il Co, AT.
Stewart a. Co., Field Letter d Co.. aud other large
firms were very large. The relations especially be-
tween the founder of the business, Thomas Garner
and H. b. Claan were of the most intimate nature,
and were continued by the son. Mr. Garner was
looked upon as OF the most able OF New-iOrk
merchants. So early in life did he acquire an init
mate personal knowledge of the business
which he afterwards conducted that though
still young man at the time of his death, he was
in reality old in business relations and experience
Owing to his immense wealth he occupied an indie
pendent business position altogether exceptional.
Since The panic of 1873 he had adopted the system
of seYng goods on strict cash basis, which enabled
him TO compete with other merchants in low prices
thus building up ali extensive trade,
In social life, Mr. Garner vas the center of a very
