senator Morton's ExpIanntion-The
Belknap Impeachmens Case
Dmvemport.s Vouchers.
NEW YORK. May 4.
A World Washington special to day
rays that Morton's narration to-day was
dispassienate and candid. The mode
in which the money in question was
used may be still questioned, but 1t does
not appear that a single dollar chung
improperly to Morton. Soon after the
ex~ PLANTATION Morton was taken i'll and
had to be taken home.
The main argument in the impeach-
ment trial as to the question OF juris-
diction IN up to morrow and will
at least continue through Friday, as
both sides expect to occupy six hours.
The order of speakers is as follows:
Blair will open for counsel and will be
followed by Lord. who will open for
the managers Mott will follow Lord
unless Black desires to speak i'm
mediately after Lord. jerks and HOar
will then follow, Hoar closing for the
managers and Carpenter for counsel.
Tonight the managers feel confident
of their ability to convince the Senate
that it has jurisdiction in the premises.
In their various researches they have
discovered much stronger authority in
support of their position than they
ever expected, and Lord, who has
been very diligent in looking up au-
thorities, will present counsel for Bel
KNAPP with some very hard legal nuts
to crack on his opening to morrow.
The World, in summarizing its
Washington correspondence, says:
Davenport is Of a very accommo-
dating disposition. The committee was
not satisfied with his vouchers and he
came to New York and returned to
Washington with a lot of new nice
ones. The great trouble with them is
that they do not go back further than
1873, while they are supposed to ac-
count for money given him in 1871
aud 1872.
