THE COMMITTEE AT WORK,
! EXCITEMENT IN WASHINGTON &C.
Washington, Nov. 24.
The Impeachment Committee was in
session at a late hour last night It
meets again to-morrow morning, and
will make a report during the day.—
There will lie three reports. The docu
ments are voluminous. Heavy trans
actions have been made in gold, which
the report is expected to influence, and
the most feverish anxiety exists. Ru
mors are abundant, but the Committee
seems to have haded oil the news limi
ters. Among other wild statements it
is said the Bulls of New York have
raised ami invested one hundred and
til'ty thousand dollars in securing one
vote in the Committee for impeachment.
The probabilities are that there have
been no recent changes, and that the
Committee stands four for impeach
ment. tiiree for a vote of censure, and
two for quashing the matter,
Later. —The impression that the
Committee will stand five for impeach
ment gains ground. It is said high of
ficial circles have intimations to this
effect.
Washington, Nov. 25.— Later. —
The impeachers expect to make their
strong point against the President from

HOUSE.
A resolution was adopted that no
' committee shall incur ail expense here
! alter without further orders of tiie
House.
Bout well, second member of the
Judiciary Committee, rose to report the
testimony taken bv the Committee on
Impeachment, ami a majority report by
Chairman Wilson. anJ a dissenting
report, proposed by Williams, ol Penn
sylvania. The summary of the major
ity report it as follows :
Ln accordance with the testimomes
herewith submitted, and tbe view ol
the law herewith presented, the com
mittee is of the opinion that Andrew
Johnson, President of the United States,
is guilty ol high crime and misdemean
or in that, 4’C. It closes with the
resolution.
Resolved. That Andrew Johnson be
impeached for his crimes and misde
meanors.
The report was followed by mingled
expression of applause and disappro
bation. The speaker meantime using
his gavel —Wilson,Chairman, for him
self and Woodbridge presented tbe
report which concludes—we therefore
declare that the case before us, pre
sented by the testimony and measured
by the law, does mu disclose such high
crime, and misdemeanors within the
measuring of the Constitution as re
quire the constitutional interposition oi
the power of the House, and recom
mended the adoption of the following ;
Resolved , That the Judiciary Com
mittee be discharged from the further
consideration of the proposed impeach
ment of the President of the United
Stales, and that the subject be laid on
the table.
Marshall, in behalf of himself and
Eldridge. stated that they fully con
curred in the resolutions offered by
Chairman Wilson, and also concurred
entirely with his argument regarding
the law of the case, a id the application
of the evidence thereto, but there were
differences oil some points which in
duced him and Mr. Eldridge to submit
a third report.
The reports were all laid on the
table and ordered to be printed, and
made a special order for Wednesday of
next week.
A bill to suspend civil officers during
the impeachment was referred to the
Judiciary Commiltee.
A motion was subsequently made by
Mr. Blair, of Maine, to reconsider the
vote ol referring it, and to table the
vote to reconsider, which fastens the
bill in the Judiciary Committee and
removes it from arbitrary control of the
House, which was regarded as a sort
ol test on this question.
Blair’s motion prevailed with but
little opposition, indicating a weakness
of scheme to suspend before conviction.
The rules were suspended and a
resolution was adopted declaring, that
in the judgment of the House it was
unnecessary to proceed at present with
the building and equipping of the war
ships.
The rules were suspended and a
resolution was adopted, declaring that
in the present condition of the finances
further purchases of territories are in
expedient, and that the House holds
itself under no obligations to vote
money for such pttrshases.
A bill declaring St. Louis a port of
entry was referred to the Committee
on Commerce.
The House then adjourned.
Grant’s evidence covers three col
ums, but the following tells his story :
By Mr. Woodbridge—Q. I understand
your position to be this, that you did
not assume to originate or inaugurate
any policy, but that when any question
came up, and your opinion was asked
as to what the President was going to
do, or had done, you gave an opinion ?
A. That is it exactly, and I presumed
the whole Committee so understood
me, I have always been attentive to my
own duties and tried not not to inter
fere with other people’s ; l was always
ready to originate matters pertaining to
the army, but 1 never w’as willing to
originate matters pertaining to the civil
affairs of P’e United States ; when ask
ed my opinion about what had been
done, I was willing to give it. I orig
inated none, nor suggested no plan for
the civil government, I only gave my
view’s on measures after they had been
originated. 1 simplv expressed an
anxiety that something should be done
to give some sort of control down there.
There was no governments there when
the war was over; I wanted to see
some government established, and to
see it done quickly. I did not pretend
to say’ how it should be dene, or in
what form.
The majority of the Impeachment
Commit.ee in their report, recommend-,
ing the impeachment lav great stress
upon the alleged usurpation bv the
President of the pardoning and veto
powers, also the authority to make
removals and appointments, and par
ticularly refer to what is termed fla
grant violations of the constitutional
powers of the Executive, by organizing
governments in the Southern Stales, at
the end of the war without asking
advice of Congress, as they assert for
personal purposes. They refer to tha
pardoning oTa hundred and ninety
three persons in West Virginia, desert
ers from the army during the war,
which they state was in behalf of pri
vate and interested parties, and in
order thai tlmy may vote in accordance
with the President's opinions, their
restoration causing great depletion of
treasury. The tenor ol the Executive
offenses throughout the entire reports,
consists in alleged usurpations of the
powers above mentioned. The major
ity assert also that by various officials
and public declarations, the President
has sough.t to obstruct laws of Chngress
for pacification of the Staves, with
pa. licular reference to the constitution
al amendments approved bv Congress.
This report is verv lengthy, and signed
by Boutwell, Williams, Churchill,
Thomas. Lawrence. A leport was also
submitted by W ilson and Woodbridge,
dissenting from views ol majority, and
iasseiting that there was no evidence
presented, which demanded impeach
ment, but they condemned his political
views and were willing to censure.
The minority report by Messrs. Mar
shall and Eldridge, who strongly defend
the President from abuse by iiis politi
cal enemies, and assert that his only
faults consists in not holding to the
political views of the party which
elected lii.m, in subjugating the people
ol the South. The report is extremely
caustic and abuses harshly, some of tiie
witnesses who testified before the
Committee. Baker is aecused of per
jury, and they conclude with the
President will be held in respect by
Ins countrymen, when his ealuninators
are pillored in undying scorn and
indignation of the American people.
The points inado in the summing up °f
the majority report against the Presi
dent, are not borne out by the testimo
ny.
First, As to the President having
usurped the powers of Congress, in or
ganizing governments in the Southern
States, it wifi be found in Gen. Grant’s
testimony that the programme which
was followed out by Mr. Johnson, had
been laid down by Mr. Lincoln. It
also appears in Gen. Grant’s testimony
that be was present, by invitation, at
the Cabinet Councils in which the re
organization of the Southern States
was considered. That while he assen
ted to the plan followed bv the adminis
tration, he did not oiler any suggestions
.*f his own, but was a silent listener.—
The only active part he took was to
retain the President’s ardor to have
prominent rebels, like Lee, brought to
condign punishment. As to the par
don of prominent rebels, it appears that
many of the most prominent of them
were pardoned on the recommendation
of Gen. Grant, Speed, Stanton, &e, —
As to the pardon of some hundred de
serters from West Virginia Regiments,
which the report alleges was done in
order that they might v He lor a Demo
cratic member <ff Congress, it appears
irom evidence that they were only tech
nically deserters, that they were not
pardoned until some weeks after the
election, and that the President merely
considered the application in the usual
form, referring it to the Secretary of
War, who, himself, granted it. The
Committee enquired into the posses
sion by the President of certain Ten
nessee bonds, on the supposition that
his possession of them might have some
connect ion with the release of the prop
erty of Southern Railroad Companies,
but it appeared that Mr. Johnson had
been in possession of those bonds for
the last twelve years. In reference to
the trial of Jefferson Davis, Attorney
General Speed and the counsel for the
government must shoulder all the re
sponsibility of not trying him, the
avowed cause being that Chief Justice
Chase would not preside, and that At
torney General Speed would not con
sent, under any consideration, to have
the trial conducted before Judge Un
derwood. Then; was an attempt on the
part of Lafayette C. Baker, to get up a
story about an imaginary letter from
Mr. Johnson, as Military Governor of
Tennessee, to Jefierson Davis, offering
to turn the State over to him, but the
Committee could have had no trouble
in deciding what degree of credit was
to be given to it. The tale lell still
born, there is no allegation against the
President ol his having personally
given grounds of offense. Ashley, of
Ohio, who presented the articles of im
peachment, acknowledges that lie has
produc/d to tlre.Committee all the valid
evidence in fiis possession.
The order of extentiou of absence of
Mr. Dtvis. and fixing the 22d of March
for the trial, waseuterd by order of the
Judge, and Mr. Davis’ trial ended for
this term. Mr. Davis’ did not appear
ill court.
Aeixandcr 11. Stevens to Ad
dress Hie People ofi\. Y.
Several leading gentlemen of both
political parties among whom we are
infoimed, are Messrs Brown Brothers
and Peter Cooper, have recently ad
dressed a letter to Alexander 11. Ste
vens, of Georgia, requesting his appear
ance in New York during the first
week in December, to address our cit
izens oil the actual condition of affairs
in the South, social and political. Mr.
Stevens, it is said, has accepted the
invitation and may be expected here in
a few days, when the gentleman having
[ charge of the preliminary arrangements
will publicly announce the day upon
which the Vice President of the late
Confederacy will deliver his address.
Among the leading men connected with
the ex-Confederate Government, lie is.
perhaps the only one who has retained
a certain kind of affectionate esteem
from ill parties in the North, and there
are very few speakers of the day who
can, trummand more eager and attentive
audiences.— N. Y. World.
At Last. —Says the Macon Journal
4’ Messenger of yesterday’s date, “we
have reliable information that Govenor
Jenkins has been ordered by General
Pope to hold himself in readiness to
march at a moment’s notice. And the
on dit from the same source is, that a
shining light, from Thomas county, who
gained some little notoriety a short time
since by denouncing Ben. Hill as a
“finished demagogue,” is to be his sue
s cessor.”
