Although virtually settled by the
vote on the 1lth article of the i'm
peachment charge.
The pree;denf the trial of Andrew
Johnson.by the SEN
court. continued to hold public atten-
tion and interest until the final dis
position OF the case. There was some
apprehension on the part OF the Presi-
dents friends lest the impeachment
managers of the House should seek
to postpone final voting. leaving the
case hanging over the Presidents
carried the matter to a conclusion. In
The Star OF May 26. 1868. is a news
account Of the final session OF the
high court. held that day. There was
much maneuvering before the case
| was finally settled, a group OF radical
senators having caucused and agreed
| to hold together for postponement for
four weeks. Motions to adjourn to
certain days were negatived. and
finally the Senate proceeded to vote
on the remaining articles. The I'd
article was first put. the vote
standing IS to 10, not sufficient under
the two-thirds rule. The vote was the
same as on the 11th article, previous
ly taken. The Sd article was then
laid before the court for decision. and
the vote was the same. Upon this
Senator Williams Of oregon moved
that the court sitting for the trial OF
Andrew johnson adjourn sine die.
l6. and. says The Star. thus ending
/ the great impeachment trial. with a
virtual acquittal on all the other ar
ticles, since a vote was waived upon
J them" The Star adds: The anti
impeachers were greatly elated with
plosive demonstration. and many OF
4 the impeachers expressed satisfaction
that the matter had been definitely
disposed Of. A good many debts were
promptly paid. but some losers pre-
| ferred to wait and see the exact
status of the thing"
This matter Of bets on the impeach-
ment question proved to be somewhat
complex in view Of the
Bettors in failure to vote on all OF
the articles. The Star Of
Ooupt. May q, 1868, says:
1.-THE parties who have made bets on
the result of impeachment are in warm
contention, the adjournment of the court
without voting upon all the articles hav-
| ing rendered it uncertain whether any
money has been lost or any money won
on the trial. Some of the bets were that
Fessenden and Trumbull would vote to
acquit on every article and others that
the President would be acquitted on
every article Those who bet against
acquittal in these cases contend that
as the senators named have not voted
on every article each party must have
his stakes returned. Those. however.
| who bet on the square issue Of 'acquittal

To meet this need. the Secretary OF

to create state councils Of defense. or
similar committees with broad pow
ers. representative of the resources
Industries and activities of each state,
to cooperate with the national coun-
Gil.
Following this action there was
called likewise by the chairman of the
Council of National Defense con-
ference Of the states in Washington.
At this conference frank and thor-
ough-going explanation OF the OUT
standing needs of the nation in the
prosecution Of the war with Ger

made as to how the state defense ac-

within four weeks after this con-
ference the state councils had been
organized in nearly every state in
the Union. In all states the counciis
were created by appointment of the
governor or by act of the legislature.
Besides assisting and stimulating
the creation of this system OF state
councils, the section on cooperation
with states of the council has con-
cerned itself with the development
and promotion in each state of a sya-
tenn of county or other subsidiary
councils. of defense. AS a result. such
systems have been effectively estab-
lished in a majority of the states. and
In some cases are extending even to
townships and municipalities. AS the
systems Of local councils have been
perfected, the state councils report
an ever-increasing decentralization of
their work.

England that takes the initiative. and
the proposition is made to Austria IN

report from Prussia OF q movement in

king has ordered reduction OF the
landwehr or militia on this years con-
scription. This reduction does not
amount to much. especially as the best

gagged in Strengthening the defenses OF
