WASHINGTON CLIPS.

Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil spent
a few days in Washington last week
He visited the Capitol and public build
ings and showed himself quite familiar
with the events ofthe revolution and our
whole history,
WASHINGTON, May 5.-The consider
alton of ihe articles Of impeachment was
resumed this morning, Mr., Carpenter,
for the respondent, beginning his argu-
ment on the question Of jurisdiction.
He was followed by Mr.. Knott, in be-
half of the Managers, who argued that
the real question before the Court was
whether they exercised the functions
devolved upon them as the highest court
known to our Government, by virtue of a
constitutional power, or merely at the
will and pleasure of the accused. There
was not solitary syllable in any OF the
provisions of the Constitution which limi-
ted the power Of the House of Represen-
tatives to prefer, or of the Senate to try,
articles of impeachment to the time dur
ing which the party accused shall remain
in office or to any time whatever; the
very moment the impeachaDle offense
was committed the guilty party became
liable to impeachment, and there was
not a word in any Of the provisions of
the Constitution relieving him from that
liability upon the termination of his
office, whether by resignation or other
wise. At this point Mr.. Knott said that
he disliked extremely asking favor at
the hands of the Senate, but he was sut-
fering such physical pain that he must
ask for ian adjournment, Senate sitting
as Court of impeachment adjourned
until tomorrow.
THE CREDIT MoBILIER.
The subcommittee on Judiciary has
summoned large number of witnesses,
including many prominent official and
public men connected with the Pacific
road, and will proceed to dive to the
bottom of the old Credit Mobilier scan
dal. 1t is thought that when they get
through there will not be enough left of
Blaine to nominate at the Cincinnati
Convention.
REPUBLICAN CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
G.. H. Saville, former Chief Clerk Of
the Treasury Department, has in his resi-
dence a silver service, consisting OF
seventy. one pieces, valued at $4,000.
This was presented to him, it is alleged,
by the banking house of Henry Clews &
Co., for his influence, used in securing
the transfer of certain Government funds
to the London branch of that firm. The
Committee will give Saville an opportu-
nifty to vindicate himself.

CoNKLING.
Quite stir was created by the publ
city given to Senator Conkling's crooked
in the patent Department.
He is reported to be much worried over
the publicity given to the matter, and
will take early steps to vindicate himself
from this Blaine story. Further invest-
CATION into the matter shows that the
statements in these dispatches last night
are correct.

The Cincinnati Enquirer is maliciously
misrepresenting the Hon. Henry b.
Payne, the able Democratic member OF
Congress from the Cleveland district
Mr.. Payne the other day in Congress vo-
ted for the resolution asking the uncon-
ditional repeal of the Resumption Act,
and the Enq,tirer claims it as evidence of
the growth of the greenback cause, and
that some weeks ago Mr.. Payne would
not have so voted. Now the Enquirer
must know that Mr.. Payne, in his speech
es before his election to Congress, took
ground for the repeal of the Sherman
sham, and he SO expressed himself to the
writer hereof in private conversation last
fall. Mr.. Payne favors gradual return
to specie payments, but thinks the Re-
sumption Act for 1879 injurious to the
business interests of the country.
