Re spondent. after reading the order, observed, “'‘This is not in accordance with the Constitu tion of the United States, which makes me Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy, or of the language of the commission which you hold.” Gen.

But whether the said written authority amounts to an ap- | pointment, or to a temporary authority or des- j ignation, this respondent denies that in any sense he did thereby intend to violate the Cou- j stitution of the United States, or that he thereby intended to give the sai l order the character or effect of an appointment in the constitutional or legal sense of that term.

On the contrary thereof protesting that the said Stanton was not then and there lawfully the Secretary for the Department of War, this respondent states that lfis sole pur pose in authorizing the said Thomas to act as Secretary for the Department of War ad inte rim was, as is fully stated in hi? answer to the said first article, to bring the question of the right of the said Stanton to hold said office, notwithstanding his said suspension, and not- to the provisions of the said act referred to in the said article, or either of them, or with in tent to violate either of them. Respondent protesting that said Stanton was not then and there Secretary for the Department of War, not only denies the said conspiracy as charged, but also denies any .unlawful intent in refer ence to the custody and charge of the property of the United States in the said Department of War, and again refers to his former answer for a full statement of his intent and purpose in the premises. stance of the conversation held with Genera!

What this respondent then said to Gen. Emory was simply the expression of an opin ion which he then and which he yet believes referred to in the third specification of the tenth article; but this respondent does not admit that the passages therein set forth, as if extracts from a speech of this respondent on said occasion, correctly or justly presents his speech or address upon said occasion; but on the contrary, this respondent demands and insists that if this honorable Court shall de r m the said article and the said third specification thereof to contain i negations of matter cogni zable by tliis honorable Court as a high mis demeanor in office, within the intent and ■ meaning of the Constitution of the United j States, and shall receive and allow proof in Rates of Advertising’.

And for answer to the said seventh article, respondent denies that on the said 2lst day of February, 1868, at Washington aforesaid, or ax any other time and place, he did unlawfully conspire with the said Thomas with intent un- Chief, or by any other chann lawfully to seize, take, or possess the property j of the United States in the Department of I War, with intent to violate or disregard the ! said act in the said seventh article referred to, j or that he did then and there commit a high | misdemeanor in office. Respondent protesting I that the said Stanton was not then and there j Secretary for the Department of War, again I refers to his former answers, in so far as they are applicable to show the intent with which he proceeded in the premises, and prays equal benefit therefrom as if the same were here again fully repeated.

ANSWER TO ARTICLE VIK. And for anxver to the said eighth article, this respondent denies that on the 21st day of Feb ruary. 1868, at Washington aforesaid, or at any other time and place, he did issue or de liver to the said Thomas the said letter of an- . , ,i support of the same, that proof shall be re- fttllv believed to be sound, • , . > , ’ c . . . i . ■ qutred to be made of ttie actual speech and ... lt-xir o e so, am ia j addregg 0 p respondent on said occasion, ts, that by the express provisions of the Con- ; b ^ denics that the sai( , arti . stitution this respondent, as President, is made i , , .. , : „ , , ! . !. c .. ’ c ,i ele and specification coutains, or correctly or the Commander-in-Chiel of the army of the . . , United States, and as such he is to be respect- J ,K ' I rt T i e:>CI1 s - , , , , , And this respondent, further answering the ed, and that his orders, whether issued through h articl . r ‘ )te5ti „ K ’ that he has not been the War Department or through the Gencml-m- j uninindful 0 ’ f l the b - y ,£ duli „ 3 of his offi( . e , 0 r of the harmonies arid courtesies which ought ; to exist and be maintained between the execu- | live ami legislative branches of the Govern- „ .. , . i .j „ i meet of the Letted states, denies that he has Respondent doth, therefore, den\ r that dv the . . , . , . 1 . . ,' . . v ' ever intended or designed to set aside the ixpression of such opinion he did commit, or . . .. , . ^ ' <, , • i - i - a- frightful authority or powers of Congress, or was guilty of a high misdemeanor in office; and this respondent doth further say that the said article nine lays no foundation whatever for the conclusion stated iu said article, that j the respondent, by reason of tions therein contained, was guilty of high misdemeanor in office. attempted to bring into disgrace, ridicule, ha tred, contempt, or reproach the Congress of the United States, or either branch thereof, or ti' iV1 \'iem- lU ! to impair or destroy the regard or respect of ie ,l ''' 1 1 all or any of the good people of the United States for the Congress, or the rightful legis- withstanding the said order of removal, and , . . r ■ -.u „ . -,u.* 7- •, .. c xhority set forth in the said eighth article, with notwithstanding the said authority of tne said i . y , f . , i .i v IT,' „,1 i the intent unlawfully to control the disburse- Thomas to act as Secretary of War ad interim, ments of the money appropriated for the mili- to the test of a final decision by the Supreme | . , - ^ , , P r , . .i__ r— c*. . . ‘ “ i tary serv.ee and for the Department of War.
