any case whatever; and, second, that when
ever articles of impeachment were exhibited
they must setforth every fact essentialto con-
stitute the crime impeachable. He stated that
he would conine himself, in his argument,
to legal questions, and would be as brief as
possible, and dry as a stick. Mr.. Carpenter
read from the debates of the Constitutional
Convention, and stated that the men who
framed the Constitution never had the
slightest idea that any body but public Off
GERS could be impeached. The debates all
showed impeachment was intended as a
check upon those in power. At two o'clock
the Senate took a recess. After recess Mr..
Carpenter resumed and finished his argu-
ment. He was followed by Mr.. Knott in
behalf of the managers, who argued that
the real question before the Court was,
whether ihey exercised the functions de-
volved 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 q solitary syllable in any of the pro-
visions of the Constitution which limited
the power OF the House of Representatives
to prefer, or the Senate to try articles of
impeachment, to the time during which the
party accused shall remain in office, or to
any time whatever. The very moment that
an impeachable offense was committed, the
guilty party became liable to impeachment,
and there was not a word in any of the pro-
visions of the Constitution relieving him
from the liability, upon the termination of
his Office, whether by resignation or other.
wise. At this point Mr.. Knott said that he
disliked extremely asking a favor at the
hands of the Senate, but he was suffering
such physical pain that he must ask for an
adjournment. The Senate, sitting as a court
of impeachment, adjourned until tomorrow.
The Senate then resumed the consideration
Of legislative business, and after referring
several House bills to the appropriate com
mittees, went into executive session and soon

Threatened Lynchtnx.


CHARLESTON, W. Va, Dec. 30.-On
Christmas night Thomas Lee WAS mur-
dered at Campbells Creek Bridge, this
county, by Sohn Dawson and Rufus
Eastept. The murderers were arrested
and lodged in Charleston Jail. Tonight
a mob of about 800 men assembled
near the scene of the murder and
marched TO Charleston, some on horse
back, some on foot, with the avowed
intention of hanging the murderers. A
few minutes before their arrival Sheriff
Morgan, hearing of their coming, re-
moved the prisoners from the jail
The mob took possession of the Jail,
forcing the jailor to give up his KEYS.
Not finding the prisoners they searched
the Court House, the clerks office and
other buildings to no purpose. They
bound the jailor and deputy Sheriff
Perry and threatened to hang them
unless the whereabouts of the murder.
crs were disclosed. 1t is supposed
they got the desired information. A
large squad has just left the Jail in tie
direction in which the prisoners are
supposed to have been taken. The
street corners arc all picketed, and the
mob have full possession of the town.
Great excitement prevails. Another
murderer, named Belcher, was also re-
moved by the Sheriff. The mob pro.
pose to hang him, too. They are well
organized and well drilled, respectable,
sober, and only few of them are
masked. Prosecuting Attorney Kenna
met them above the city, and tried to
deter :hem, but to no purpose. Fears
are entertoined for the safety Of the

rupted United States officials for whom
he had procured federal appointments,

Of removal from Office to pay money,
and some of them to commit crime to

derstanding that while in Office they
would not be required to render service

gain votes for Senator. His managers
with his concurrence caused a State
Senator for a money consideration to
break his pledge of honor to another
Senator, having prearranged the scheme
thereby to secure @ seat in the United

gers. He procured the presiding officer

Sir Edward Thornton, umpire in the
United States and Mexican claims
commission has decided the case of
La Abra Silver Mining Company of
New York; against Mexico, for op-
pressions, exactions and seizures by
Mexican authorities, in the district of
Dimas, Duregoa, where the mines and
works were situated, which finally
compelled the company to abandon
their enterprise. The umpire awards
to the company $6S3, 900 in gold, to be
paid by the Mexican government.
This amount, though large, is not
more than twenty per cent. of what
the company claimed to be due to it,
