SATURDAY, APRIL 18,1808.
While ire rescn>e- to ourselves the right of dc?
ning our own politicoI position by noons of nur
editorial columns, we will he pleased tu publish
contributions /row our fcllow-citizcns njpon the
grave questions which nine ogifofr the public
mind, whether their opinions coincide with ours
or not. A district newspaper, tee consider,
should be. an index of the. carious shades of pop
ular sentiment in the section of country in which
it circulates. Our columns are open, therefore,
for any communication*properly written, accom
panied by a responsible name, not personal in
their character, iu>r absolutely injurious in their
tendency.
The Three Days' Election.
For tho first time since the Congressional
policy of Reconstruction has boon put into
operation, have the white men of South Caro
lina gone to the polls : and thoy have done so
but to place upon rocord their protest against
tho yoke, which an unprincipled party is plac
ing upon their necks. It was well known, bo
fore the election, that every arrangement had
already been made to secure the ratification of
the negro Constitution by a majority of the
voters of the State, and that tho vote of the
I .white nconlo. wouU u**?r *>?- >-???n~
iug tide of Radicalism overflowing our devoted
land : but still it was deemed right that we
should organize against^ho impending tyran
ny. The result has been in many respects en
couraging. Those who, on man)* a field of
conflict, have fallen into Hue with tho
ardor of volunteers and all the cool cour
age of veterans, have rallied to the present
call with a promptitude, which shows that the
fire of patriotism is still uncxtiuguished iu
j their broasts. Without organization, without
preparation, upon the spur of tho moment, as
it were, a party, by no means contemptible in
uumbcrs, formidable in tho possession of capi
tal and resources, and not to be intimidated by
present defeats, lias sprung into lifo. On ten
days notice, all tbo machinery of a campaign
has been put into operation; and wo do not,
by any means, consider tho issuo of our exer
tions a failure Wo havo made our opponents
show thoir bands; wo havo torn down entirely
tho veil of hypocrisy with which our hirelings
have heretofore covered their conspiracy for
our ruin j wc arc no longer resting in faueied
security, while midnight plotters aro laying
tho train for our destruction. No: wo now
appreciate tho situation, and aro at last awake.
Let us then, for the future, work together
with greater earnestness and determination.
(Let us meet the issue manfully, and fight it
f'out on every line that presents itself. Let us
remember men, and their actions of tho past
week, whether they bo white or black. Lot
us carry politics into our daily life, and direct
all our business towards those who aro friends,
and away from our declared enemies. Doing
this with unanimity and resolution, wo will
[(eventually conquer. For that hour, let us
work, and hopo.

APRIL 10.?The Senate immediately pro
ceeded to impeachment.
Curtis concluded his speech at half-past two
o'clock, when Thomas was called for the de
fence. Thomas was stopped by the prosecu! on
in describing his interviews with the President
when the orders of removal and appointment
were handed him. The objection was elabo
rately argued. Stnubcry aud Kvarts for de
fence and Butler and Bingiium for prosecuting:
The Chief Justice submitted the question in
the first iustancc and the managers were; de
feated?12 toll). Nays?Cameron, Chandler,
Comtess, Cragcu, Drake, Harlan, Howard,
Nye, Ramsey, Thayer. Sunnier broke ranks
for the first time on this qucstiou aud the court
adjourned.
A Pit II. 11.?In the House Woodward intro
duced a bill to test the constitutionality of ques
tionable acts of Congress, which was referred
to the .Judicinvy Co'nmltteo, Tlio net provides;
that, if the Attorney-General shall bring any
bill vetoed l?y the I'resideiit, on the ground of
uncoust nationality, and passed over the veto,
before the Supreme Court, on a feigned issue,
the decision of the Supreme Court on such
feigned issue shall bo valid,
Returning from impeachment the House ad
journed.
In the Senate the managers asked an amend
ment to the rules, whereby each side might
speak without limitation to members. Howard
objected, and the motion goes over, General
Thomas was again on the stand, undergoing a
perplexing cross-examination by Rutler. Gen.
Sherman was on the stand. The managers ob
ject to the evidence. Another very sharp con
test is pending.
The examination was continued, and elicited
from Thomas that the President's words to him
were : ??Go and take charge of the War
office," instead of ' possession of the War
office." Gen. Sherman was hero in tho mid
dle of December, and had several interviews
with tho President?two in company with
Grant. The managers objected to receiving
the President's declarations. Chaso said that
no question had yet been asked. Stnubcry
asked :. ' Did the President ask if you would
take charge of the War Department on Stan
ton's removal t" but Butler objected.
Sherman said he had an interview with the
President, in Grant's presence, the day Stan
ton resumed the office. Stnubcry asked what
that interview related (", but Butler objected.
Stnubcry asked: -Did the interne*** jclntc to
Staintou's occupancy of the War Office:'"'
Sherman answered that it did. Stanbcry asked
the purport. Butler objected. Stanbcry ro
duced the question to writing : "In that inter
view what was said about Stanton's return to
tho War Department ?" Butler objected.
Chase thought the question adiuissnblc. Con
ness appealed, und Iho ayes were demanded.
The matter was now discussed very sharply and
at great length. Butler interrupting Stanbcry
repeatedly. Stanbcry insisted on bis right to
say what they intended to prove and should go
on unless the Senate ordered him to stop. Ho
would prove that the President wanted Sher
man to take the War Office to secure a judi
cial decision. Stanbcry. Kvarts, Butler, and
Wilson participated. Stanbcry called on the
Chief Justice during the debate to stop But
ler's personal aspersions. After recess, Chase
restated his opinion that the question was ad
missablo under yesterday's ruling, because like
that of yesterday its purpose was to elicit the
President's intention. Tho question was then
put, and the question was ruled out?23 to 2ft;
Among the Republicans voting with the mi
nority were Sunnier, Pressenden, Fowler.
Sprngue, Van Winkle, Anthony, Grimes, Mor
gan, Trumbull and Willcy.
Stanbcry asked Sherman what he knew
about the Department of the Atlantic '! After
a discussion the Senate declined to hear the
?J-_ " "**???
answer without a division. Stanbery then
askod if the President tendered Sherman jSie
position ' of . Secretary of J#wj|ii.
Butlor objeotcd, but tho Scnat#jde^dcd3to h<Jor
the answer. '-The President tenWcff; ;Sl||r
mhn flic office on two occasions, uomcm Janu
ary ^5tn and 30th." Stanbcr^jjisVetfHf afy
thiog else occurred between witness and the
President concomitant to the offer when it was
first made :' Butler objected, and the Senate
refused to hoar,the .answor, J?3 to 29.? Sy^-,
bury asked if the President had, in "any inter
view, stated that his intention, in offering wit
ness tho appointment, was to bring thcTuatter
before the Supreme Court ? Senate objected
to hear, 7 to 14, it being regarded as a leading j
question. Stanbery desired to amoud the
question, but was interrupted by the following
question by Senator Henderson : "Whether the
President in any interview bad expressed any
intention with regard to making tho appoint
ment. The Senate rofuscd to hear the answer,
25 to 27. 1
? I ?{
Abkii. 13.?In the Senate tho motion to
amend the rules to allow additional speeches,
was tabied. Stephens, WillianiB, Boutwcll
und Logan were disappointed.
Stevens aud Williams made special appeals
for a hearing.
Sherman was recalled, and Stanbery asked
whether after Stantou's restoration the good
of the service required another man than Stan
ton at tho head of the War Department''.
Butler objected. Bingham said if Sherman's
opinion was given 40,000 other men's opinions
might bo called.
Butler spoke at length. lie warned Sena
tors that Saturday's struggle would be renew
ed to-day.
Several questions wore asked by Senators
and a general debate ensued.
Kvaris said they desired to show that the
President's action was for the good of tho ser
vice, based on tho opinions of honest and intel
ligent officers.
The Senate refubod to hcur tho answer,
yeas only 15.
Senator Johnson asked : "Did you at any
time and when, before Stantou's removal, ad
vise the President to appoint another person ?"
Butlor objected. Chase decided that a ques
tion propounded by a Senator could onf
ly be objected to by the court. Drake ob
jected, and the Senate refused to hear the an
swer. IS tu 32.
General Sherman loft the stand and tho
court had a recess.
The Clerk of the District Supreme Court
W*ss called and after a contest, tho proceedings
attending Thomas' arrests were admitted
Sherman was recalled at the instance of
Senator Johnson, who ??skod. when the Presi
dent tendered you the office of Secretary of
War, on the 20th ami ,'h>l!i pf January, did he
state what his purpose iu so doing was'/ Ob
jection, but the Senate heard the answer 2tj vo
Auswar. Yes : Senator Johnson asked, will
j you state what lie said bis purpose was.' Ob
jection. Chase decided the question admissi
ble as it tended to .-how the import of the
President's action. Chase was sustained 20 to
25. Sherman commenced, when Buthr inter
rupted, but Sherman thought best to proceed
in his own way. The President told Sherman
that, uuder the relations of Slant on towa'ds
other members of the Cabinet aud the Presi
dent, he could not have the War Department
administered properly iu tho interest of the
army and the whole country, while Stauten
remained Secretrry, and iu a desire to promote
and care for tho.se interests ho tendered Sher
man the position ol Secretary of War. Sher
man nsked the President why he did not havo
the case made up by bis lawyers so as to bring
about a change without involving him, an offi
cer iu the unity, in the matter. The President
replied that it could uot bo douc ; but- if it
could not bo douo; but if it could bo brought
bufore court Stantou's case would not stand an
hour. Stanbery asked a question.. Butler ob
jected. Chase ruled that Stanbery could ask
relative to tho facts elicited by Sonator Johu
sou's question. Appeal. Debate ensued,
pending which Butler asked whether the ques
tion was put by the Senator from Maryland as
counsel for the President. Mr. Johnson rose
aud administered Butler a sharp rnbukc.
I Butlor was abashed. Finally Shormab pro
ceeded. At the first interview nothing very
definite was said by cithor. During the
sec*.ml the President expressed a desire to
have tho constitutionality of tho Tenure
of Office bill tested, and told Sherman that
Stahton would offer no resistance. Sher
man did not know Stan ton as well as the Pre
sident knew him. Stanton is a coward. Sher
man gave no positive answer, but answered in
writing. Senator Henderson asked did the
President on cither occasion express a firm de
termination to remove Stanton. Sherman nn
swerod that tho President never expressed his
intention to use force, but seemed determined
that their relations should oense. Senator
Howard asked what did the Prosidont say
about force. Sherman repeated the President's
belief that Stanton would resist. Henderson
asked whether Sherman gave the President ad
vice; but the Senate refused to hear.
The managers summoned Sherman fur to
morrow, and he left the stand.
The evidence regarding Thomas' arrest was
resumed, and the Court adjoiuncd.
