j .For,the first time nincc tpo, Congressional,
policy of Reconstruction haB boon put into
'operation, have .the twbito men of South ? Caro
lina gone to tho polls : and thoy have done so
bttt to place upon record their protest against
the yoke, which an unprincipled party is plac
ing upon their necks. It was well known, be
fore the election, that every . arrangement had
ilrcady been made to secure tho ratification of
tho nogro Constitution" by n majority of the
.v.Hers of the State, and that the veto of the

land : but still it was deemed right that wo
should organize against tho ..impending tyran
ny. The result has been in many respects en
couraging. These who, on many; a field j of
conflict, have fallen into Hue with the
ardor . of ?volunteers and all tho cool cour
age of veterans, have rallied to the present
call with a promptitude, which shows that the
fire of patriotism if still unextinguished in
their breasts. Without organization, without
preparation, upon tbo spur of tho moment, as
it were, a party, by no moans contemptible in
numbers, formidable in tho possession of capi
tal and resources, and not to be intimidated by
present defeats, has sprung into lifo. Ou ten
days notice, all the machinory of a campaign
hai been put into operation; and wo do not,
by any in cans, consider the issuo of our exer
tions a failure.': We bare mode our opponents
show tnbir bands'; wo have torn dowu ontircly
the veil of hypocrisy with which our hirelings
hayo heretofore covered their conspiracy for
our ruin} we are no longer resting ip fanoied
security, while midnight plotters . are . lay iug
the train for our destruction. Not wo now

Hoturning from impeachment tho House ad
journed. < ?' ml i
In the Senate the malingers asked an amend
ment to the rules, whereby each side-might
speak without limitation to mombcrol Howard
objected, and tho motion goes over, General
Thomas was again on the stand, undergoing a
perplexing cross-examination by Butler. (Jen.
Sherman was ou the stand. Tho managers ob
ject to tho evidence. Another very sharp con
test is peuding.
Tho examination was contiuued, and elicited
from Thomas that the President's words to him
were: "Go and take chargo of tho ! War
office," instead of "possession of. tha War
offiCO." Gon. Sherman was here iu tho mid
dle of Deeomber, and bad several il interviews
With the President?two in company with
Grant The managers objected to receiving
the President's declarations. Chase said that
no question had yet been asked. Stanbery
asked:."Did the President ask if you would
take charge of the War Department on Stan
ton's removal ?" but Butler objected.
Sherman said he had an interview with the
Prcsidcut, in Grant's presence, the day Stan
ton resumed tbc office. Stanbery asked what
thnt interview related but Butler objected.
Stanbery asked : "Did tho interne??" rolato to
Stantou's occupancy of the War Office ?w
Sherman answered thnt it did. Stanbery asked
tho purport. Butler objected. Stanbery ro
duced the question to writing : "In that inter
view what was said about Stantou's return to
tho War Department ?" Butler objected.
Chase thought tho question admissablo. Con
ucss appealed, and the ayes were domanded.
Tho matter was uow discussed very sharply and
at groat length, Butler interrupting Stanbery
rcpeatotlly. Stanbery insisted on his right to
say what thoy intended to proxe and should go
on unless the Scnnto ordered him to stop. Ho
would prove that tho Presidont wanted Sher
man to tako tho War Office to secure a judi
cial decision. Stanbory, Kvarts, Butler, and
Wilson participated. Stanbery called on tho
Chief Justice during the debate to stop But
ler's personal aspersions. Aller recess, Ohasb
restated his opinion thnt the question was ad
missablo under yesterday's ruling, because liko
that of yesterday its purpose was to elicit the
President's intention. Tho question was then
put, and tho question was ruled out*?23to 28.
Among tho Republicans voting with the mi
nority wero Sumnor, Fressenden, Fowler,
Spraguo, Van Winkle, Anthony, Grimes, Mor

Sherman wap recalled, and Stanbory ' asked

Butler objected. Binghhm 'saidr- if Sherman's

Butler spoke at-length.. He warned Sena
