STANTON DETERMINED TO HOLD THE
WAR DEPARTMENT.
EXCITING SCENES AND INCIDENTS.
THE RESOLUTION OF IMPEACHMENT
A VOTE TO BE TAKEN TO-DAY.
WASHINGTON, February 22.-The Senate last
night, after several hours executive session,
resolved that the President had no right to re?
move Mr. Stanton. At 8 o'clock this morning
Adjutant-General Thomas was arrested < u a
warrant issued hy Judge Carter on the affidavit
of Stanton for violation of the fifth section of
the Tenure-of-Office bill. 3cth Houses meet
to-day for business. The excitement is very
great. General Thomas was released on bail in
five thontand dollars to appear on Wednesday.
Mr. Stanton camped in the War Offico last
night and is still in possession.
The Committee on Reconstruction, by a vote
of seven Republicana, against two Democrats,
decided to-day to prefer articles of impeach?
ment against the Presid?nt for his condnct res?
pecting the removal of Stanton.
The President will take no arbitrary mea?
sures. He is content with the present shape
of affairs. The matter rests now with the
courts.
Only the Democrats, Messrs. Brooks and
Beck, voted against the impeachment resolu?
tions in the Reconstruction Committee.
After his release from custody, Adjutant
General .Thomas found his office door 1 eked.
Stanton had the key. Thomas went to Stan?
ton's office, finding Stanton and ten members
of Congress, Generals Grant, Dent and How?
ard. Sentinels guarded each door and visitors
were only admitted after their cards were in?
spected. Several card* were presented for
Thomas, but admission was refused. Colonel
Moore tbe President's Privato Secretary, called
to see Thomas and admission was refused.
Thomas remained in Stanton's room until half
past twelve, when he left the war building.
During the interview Stanton notified Thomas
he would not give up the Secretaryship or obey
Thomas as Secretary of War, and that ho had
instructed all employees of the Department not
to obey Thomas. At two o'clock Thomas had a
prolonged interview with the President, during
which tho President said he desired to test tho
matter legally in the courts.
The Democratic National Committee have
named New York as the place and the 4th of
July as the day for holding the National Con?
vention. Committeemen from the Southern
States had a full voice in the committee.
The President's impeachment by the House
is undoubted.
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDING d.
THE SENATE transacted no business, and ad?
journed early.
IN THE HOUSE, the bill punishing Fede?
ral officers for unlawful use of money
or property was passed. It imprisons from
one to fifteen years and fines twice the amount
lost by loan, deposit or personal use.
Mr. Stevens rose. The Speaker gav,.- notice
that demonstrations in the galleries would lead
to their clearing.
Mr. Stevens reported the following from the
Reconstruction Committee :
" Resolved, That Andrew Johnson, President
of the United States, be impeached for high
crimes and misdemeanors in office."
A general debate ensued, and the House ad?
journed at half-past five to half-pa-1 seven. A
vote will be taken on Monday, at 5 o'clock.
THE LATEST.
SUNDAY NIGHT, February 23.-Stanton has
heen lodging in the War Department contin?
ually since last Friday. He was recommended
to this course by congressmen who apprehend?
ed that an attempt would be made to take pos?
session of the office by torce. Grant yesterday
detailed Colonel Carr, a member of General
Emory's ?taff, to remain at the War Office, and
the guards have been doubled. A large norn
ber of the members of Congress called on
Stanton to-day, and held a long conversation
with him. They assured him of the support
of all the Republican members, and said their
party wiuld 4 ct as a unit in both houses, and
now, that impeachment was fairly inaugura?
ted, there would be no faltering until tho
matter was complete. After the impeachment
resolution has been passed to-morrow, Stan?
ton will go home, as his friends think afier
that event the President will venture on no
aggressive measures. It is ascertained that
Grant and Emory, the latter commanding thc
department, will obey no orders of the Presi?
dent that conflict with the Tenure Office law,
or the expressed will of tho Senate. It has not
transpired, however, that the President has is?
sued or intends issuing such ore era. In the
whole matter so far, the President has confined
himself to civil proceedings. He has diiected
that to-morrow cn application be made to the
court for a writ of quo warranlo against Stan?
ton.
The President has nominated Thomas
Ewing, of Ohio, as Secretary of War.
The excitement to-day has been great, but
events have made no progress, and this even?
ing the feeling is calming down. The mo.'e
sanguine Radicals assure circles of listeners
that ten days more will do the work; but with
each hour they are becoming less confident.
The House did not adjourn last night till
half-past ll o'clock, and will meet to morrow
at 10 A. M.
Nearly all the Democratic members of Con?
gress?, Mr. Seward, and many prominent citi?
zens and strangers called on tho President to?
day. The excitement which pervades other
circles is not perceptible at the White House.

VICE TO STANTON, ?C.
The Washington and Baltimore papers of
Saturday como to us laden with the details of
the recent exciting and revolutionary events
which havo thrown the national capital into a
ferment. The correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, who gives the most clear and connected
statement, telegraphs under date of Friday
eight :
There has been to-day more excitement,
speculation, misapprehension and confusion of
facts iu consequence of the removal of Mr.
Stanton from the office of Secretary of War,
than has been observed probably heretofore, in
reference to any important occurrence in the
capital. The action of the President became
known generally about two o'clock, and instant?
ly the news spread all over the capitol, and
shortly after was known in all parts of the city.
The first impression among the opponents of
tho administration was that the direction of
the Executive to General Thomas wis a mili?
tary order, that it was to be carried out, if exe?
cuted at all, by resort to military force. This
impression yet prevails to some extent, and it
is stated that the Senate was induced to go im?
mediately into executive session m consequence
of the same erroneous idea of the purpose of
the President.
All kinds of extravagant rumors are afloat
to-night of what has taken place and of what
is to bo done. One report says the 82nate,
which was in session until about 9.30 to-Jight,
appointed a committeo to inform Mr. Stanton
tiiat bo must not give possession of tba War
Department to Mr. Thorne ?. Another, th*t all
military officers in the I lotrict are ordered to
report for duty to-night to General Emery,
commandant of this military depaitment. An?
other just now comes that General Lorenzo
Thomas bas been arrested by order of General
Grant.
THE NEWS TN THE SENATE.
These are specimens of the many rumors
afloat at ll o'clock to-night. The real facts are
that tb a President's action iu all that has been
done to-day is purely of a civil character, and
in nowise partakes ol' the military. His pur?
pose is simply to remove one officer and ap?
point another ad int?rim, and if tho first re?
fuses to obey the order, then probably to test
tho matter by regular legal proceedines in the
civil courts, or getting possession ot the office
through bis od interim appointee to compel
Stanton to seek his remedy by writ quo war?
rante, or other procedure that may be lawful
to bring the matter before thc courts.
General Thomas being in possession of au
office in the build ng of the War Department,
he was appointed Secretary ad interim, and an
order ie iB6ued removing Mr. Stanton, and di?
recting him to turn over to General Thomas
the papers, property, &c. General Thomas calls
about noon on Mr. Stanton, informs the latte r
that ho (Thomas) has been appointed Sc
tary, ?cc, and han accepted.
Mr. Stanton inquires civilly, "Do you
Eose to take immediate possession, or slit
ave timo to remove my papors ?" Gor
Thomas replies, "I am now Secretary ari
terim, and have possession; you can h?.ve
flcient time to remove your papers," and BC
interview ended.
Shortly before two o'clock this afterm
whde Mr. Trumbull was speaking, CoL
Moore, one of the private secretaries of
President, appeared at tho door of the Sen
with an armfull of executive documents,
soon as they were transferred to the Preside
desk there was a rusb of Senators to I
quarter, and Mr. Sumner was the first to rc
tho spot, and toro off tho covers with g;
eagerness, and read the contents with t
Sressed excitement. A message of the Pr
ent announcing that he had, by virtv.c of
power vested in him by the constitution,
moved Mr. Stanton from tbo position of Sci
tary of War, and appointment of General
renso Thomas as Secretary ad interim, was
drat one opened, and the whispering comme
and threatening exclamations of tho cn
around the desk grew so loud as to drown
voice of Mr. Trumbull, in possession of
floor. The envelope containing thc nomi
tion of General McClellan as minister to Gr
Britain was next opened, and impatier
tossed asido with sneers. Tho nominatior
General George H. lhomos as brevet Lieut
ant-General next appeared, and was grce
with exclamations of astonishment. So
temporary confusion was occasioned, gro wi
out of the action of tho President in regard
the two Generals Thomas, which scorned to
tonsify the into; est and produce spoculati
and iuqrury as to what this mark of favor
the President meant.
The news quickly spread over tho chanib
Mr. Trombull, who still kept up bis remar]
being tho only Se i ator ignorant of what b
transpired. An impromptu committee, cc
stating of Messrs. Catteli. Cameron, Chan
and Tna\er, immediately took tbo S<matj c:
riage and proceeded at a rapid paco to tho W
Department, whero they found Hr. Stant
looting as serene as a summer morning. '
their supplications to hold ou until tue li
born blow, he returned an answer that no alai
need be entertained; that wbon ho left the <
flee it would only be by main force. Tho Sen
tors tb en rushed over to Gen. Grant's of?
and notified him that he was expected to stai
by Congress in this new crisis. Gen. Gra
was silent. Ho may have smoked, but lie sa
nothing.
The instant Mr. Trumbull ceased spea'in
Governor Morton moved to go into executi
session. Mr. Trumbull objected, as it had bc?
agreed to take the vote to-day on tho pendil
Reconstruction bill, when Mr. Fessewdcn to
him that he presumed he would mako no o
jection if bo knew the importauce of the exec
tive business. Tho motion wa? then carrie
Mr. Sainsbury alono voting in tho notative
The newe flew like wildfire along tho corr
dors, penetrated tho committoo rooms, ai.
reached the House of Representativos. Soc
lots of excited men were gathered in the hal
surrounding the Senate chamber, discussin
tho coup d'etat, as it was callod, and the dil
puto between tho partisans of Congress an
tho President waxed high. Tho President
friends expressed their gratification that li
was showing nerve, and tho adherents of Cor
gross insisted that tho backbone of that bod
neoded no stiffening, and that it would soon b
found who was the strongest. During thi
?imo prominent Radicals of tho House, inclut
ing Messrs. Bingham, Boutwoll, Ashley an
others, had come over and sent in for some i
tho Senators.
It woe suggested that tho papers bo at one
senlto the Rouse, and tbo promise made tba
that body would send over a bill of inipeacli
ment in lass than forty-eight hours. Mr. Fes
senden came out calm and talked quietly, bu
very decidedly, but soon went back. Mr. Chau
dler came out blustering and laughing noisily
and said it was all righi now ; they bau got bin
(tho President) to commit the overt act. Hi
colleague, Mr. Howard, carno out with the sann
self-satislied smile wreathing his counlenanci
which spread over it wbcu tho vote rejectin:
Governor Thomas was announced. The habit
uesof tho capitol say that for yenrs there ha?
not been such excitement as that of to-day
Tho dozen or more telegraphic oporators ii
the building were kept constantly biiBy ii
sending off tho latest bulletins, and tho rc
sounding click of their instruments added tc
the liveliness of the scene. Tho army of cor
respondents wore flying hither and Umter en
deavoring to catch tho latest reports, and al
were listening anxiously as occasionally tht
reverberating tones ol the speakers itisid<
would become audiblo upon the outer air
Anxious inquiries wore made as to how lonf
the Senate wonld remain in executive session
and word was received that the duration woulc
probably be many hours.
About ? o'clock a statement was circulalcc
that the Maryland Legislature had resolved tc
refuse on the part of the Stat ; to pay any gov
ernment taxes until Senator Thomas wits ad
milted to his seat, and this rumor added fresl
fuel to tho flame.
Six o'clock arrived, and the Senators cami
oot by turns to tho refectory, and after fortify
ing the inner man, retired once more througl
tho closed doors, and this strengthened tb<
impression that they intended lo mako a nigh
of it. For tho first threo hours tho speedie!
were pretty much confined to tho Conservativt
side of the chamber, and wore mainly in de?
fence of the action of thc Pr?sident in thc
premises.
Senator Bayard spoke at groat length, re
viewing tho Tenure-of-Ollico bill, and contend?
ing that it encroached on .the constitution?'
{irerogatlves of tho Exocutive, and was fol
owed by Messrs. Dixon, Hendricks anl Buck
alew. Mr. Howe ropliod to theso arguments
and maintained their unsoundness. Mr. Sum?
ner roaied very gently, and advocated a return
of tbe mcssago to the President, or its refer?
ence to the Military Committeo.
THE NEWS IN TUE HOUSE.
The sceno in tho House, too, was also ono ol
great animation this afternoon. Pending thc
consideration of tho naval appropriation bill,
in Committee of the Whole, a nulabor of execu?
tive documents wero laid upon tho Speaker's
desk, and at tho first opportunity when thc
committee had risen to close debuto upon a
?aragraph, they wero presented to tho llouso.
he only document of special intercut, how?
ever, was tho commun] ?ation of the Secretary
of War announcing that ho had received iiulico
that his services us head of the War Depart?
ment were no longer required.
The Radical members did not scorn to fully
appreciate the force ol' tho President's action tit
first, and without much commcut it was re?
ferred to tho Committee n Rcootiatrnclicm,
although Mr. William Lawrence inadu ?1 feeble
effort to raiso a select committeo. Tho House
then again wont into Committee of thu Whole.
Aftor a while, however, light seemed to dawn
upon them, and the result of a consultation be?
tween Boutwell, Butler. Ashley, Farnsworth and
others was; that; a ?uotiou wus made that
the committee rise, the mover, Mr. Boutwell,
stating that he thought tho exigencies of tho
country demanded that to-morrow should be
devoted to business instead of debate, as had
boon previously ordered by tho House. The
committee, however, refused lo riso, but a few
minutes thcieaftcr Mr. Butler was moro suc?
cessful, and tho pleasuro at his success was in?
dicated in tho satisfied smile that overspread
his countenance, and thc manner iu which ho
rubbed the pal ns of his hands together. Ho
at onco submitted a motion to reconsider tue
vote whereby to-morrow's session was ordered
to be devoted to debate, and was about to give
his reasons lor the motion, and had gos so for
as to make the remark about two Secretaries o?
War, when his ?loquence was cut short by a
point of order, made by .Mr. Eldridge, Ih.?t a
motion to reconsider was not debateable. Tho
House, however, reconsidered tbo action taken
earlier in the day, aud decided that to-mor?
row's session should bc devoted to bu-ines*.
No further allusion was then made to the
subject, but there commenced at once a search
for law books, over which Butler, Boutwcil,
Kelley, Ashley, Williams, of Pennsylvania,
Clarke, of Kansas, und others of tho impeach?
ment ring, earnestly pored. Tho imperil rs
think they now have .Mr. Johnson iu a net
from which he cannot possibly escape, and
their spirits have risen in consequence.
While the vote upon reconsideration wat; be?
ing taken, Mr. Pike, of Maine, who has hither?
to been one of tho moderate tuon of the House,
made the remark, "up, uow, all who aro for
impeachment"-whereat Mr. Butler was so well
pleased that he lett his scat and patronizingly
patted Mr. Pike upon tuo back. While all this
was going on Mr. Stoveos was notiu the House,
but a messenger was dispatchod to inform him
of all the circumstances.
Mr. Impeacher Ashley was apparently ono of
the happiest men in the House, and be ut once
set about to write something, which every one
supposed was a resolution of impeachment,
but he was too slow for Mr. Covode, who is
also ambitious of distinction aa a prominent
impeacher, just before the adjournment ii
duced as a question of privilego a resort
declaring that Andrew Johnson, Preside)
the United States, be impoached of high cr
and misdemeanors. This was referred tc
Committee on Reconstruction also, and a n
ing of the committee has I cen called for
o'clock to-morrow, when the subject WL
discussod and resolutions of impeachment
be urged at once.
Mr. Stanton's son was at tho office of
Secretary of the Senate just before si
o'clock, and pronounce -J untrue tho staten
iu an evening papor that his father had a

a resolution providing for th; return of
message to thc President, and that the Soi
do non-coucur in bis removal of Mr. Stan
To this a number of amendments were offe
making the language much stronger, contle
ng the President for trampling on tho law
Congress and styling his conduct revolut
ary. The debato on these various amendmt
wu's very extended and exciting, and pari
pated in by nearly every membor of
Senate.
At nine o'clock a rumor was brought to
capitol that the President had telegraphed
Genoral Hancock ordering him instantly
Washington, and a few minutes later anot
rumor came that Mr. Johnson had issued
order to Goncral Grant to detail a file of i
diors and eject Mr. Stanton by foi ce. ll
8eugera between Mr. Stanton and the Rad
senators woro going to and fro. The employ
of the War Department all lett at the us

in his office and announced his intention

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE PH CS IB NET AND GENI
RAL SHERMAN-COMMAND OF THE NEW DI
PARTMENT.
Wo tako tho followiug paragraphs from th
Washington dispatches of Thursday last to th
New York Herald :
Tho President re -oived through tho hand
of General Grant yesterday aftoruoon Lieuten
ant Ocneral Sherman's letter iii reference to hi
assignment us commanding officer of tho Mili
tary Division of tho Atlantic. The letter 1
thoroughly respectful in tono, and is an eames
protest acainst being relieved from his previ
ous command. Guneral Sherman requests th'
President to revoke BO much of the order crea
ting, the now military division as relievei
him from the command of tho Militar
Division of tho Missouri, because for man;
reasons tho general interdata of the countrj
require his prcsouco there ; that certaii
important movemonts commenced by hin
should have his personal supervision unti
completed ; because it is eminently mon
convenient und agroeablo for him to remain ii
Missouri, and chiefly because ho feels a strone
repugnance tokbcing implicated in the pol?tica
schemes mid intrigues of the nutional capital
General Sherman, however, did not intimate
any intention of resigning, but signified his
willingness to obey tho order should tho Presi
dent insist 011 obedience Thc arguments pre
?outed by General Sherman were urged with
.such force and earnestness, and withal so re?
spectfully, that tho President at onco tele
graphed him, acknowledging its receipt, and
stated substantially that, in view of the objec?
tions suggested lo assuming the now command,
he (Sherman) would not bo required loc?me
here, but should romain in command of thc
department of Missouri. Gcnenl Sherman re?
plied by telegram, lhauking the President for
relieving him trora tho effect of tho order
directing him to make his headquarters in this
city, and tho President therouDon directod a
revocation of so much of the order as assigned
General Sherman to tho command ot the new
department. That department remains estab?
lished, however, and it is expected ',hat tho
President will shortly name au officer to take
command of it.
REVOCATION OF THE ORDER ASSIONINO GENERAL
SHERMAN TO THE ATLANTIC DIVISION.
So much of Genend Order No. 10, issued by
tho Prosidciit, as assigns Linutenant-Goneral
Sherman to the command of thenowly croatcd
Military Division of the Atlantic, with the
headquarters in this city, baa been revoked,
and General Sherman will continue to remain
in command of tho Military Division ot the
Missouri. No new assignment to the DiviBion
or tho Atlantic has boon mauo, although as yet
?hat portion of the general order has not been
revoked.
THE ALABAMA BILL IN CAUCUS.
A caucus of tlic Radical members of tho
Sonato was held this morning, in regard to tho
pending bill providing that a majority of those
voting on tho ratification of thc constitutions of

THE OEOROIA CASE.
Thc Washington correspondent of tho Balti
niore.Gazclte says :
Your readers may bo awaro that Governor
Jenkins has lately, by his counsel, Judce
i)!aek, moved before tho Supreme Court for
loavo to file 11 bill against U. S. Grant, George
Meade, Huger, et at., reciting that these per?
sons have seized ceri oin funds, buildings and
papera belonging to the State of Georgia, for
winch ho and ol hors aro responsible as legal
custodians; (.hat they bavo cast ono person
into prison, and are contemplating threatening
other v roiiRS to persons and property. You
ure also aware that Grant and Meado have cait
the State Treasurer into prisou, and if the
venerable Governor Jenkins had not left Gcor
eia he might bv this timo havo experienced a
like late. His gray hairs are hardly safo oven
now from the military tyraunv of which Grant
and Meade are tho head and front. In behalf
of the down-troddou people ot Georgia, Gover?
nor Jenkins cornea herc to make his last appc il
to ?lie highod judicial tribunal of the land. In
this step he lias tho sympathy of every good
man, and tho opposition of every mean tool or
accomplice ot' despotism. It is a fight between
liberty and kw ou the ono hand, and military
despotism 011 thc other.
I LETTES OF GENERAL PHERMAN TO THE PRESI?
DENT.
j Lu connection with the recent imbroglio in
which the President, General Grant, and Gen?
eral Sherman wore parties, we publish l;he fol?
lowing letter from General Sherman to the
President, which speaks for itself :
WASHINGTON, Saturday, January 18.
I neglected this morning to say that I had
agreed to go down to Aunapolis to spend
Sunday with Admiral Porter. General Grant
also has to leavo for Richmond on Monday,
at 6 A. M. At a conversation with the Gen?
eral, after our interview wherein I offered to
go with him on Monday mornir g to Mr. Stanton,
and to say that it was our joint opinion be
should resign, it was found impossible, by
reason of his going lo Richmond and my going
to Annapolis. The General proposed this
course. He will ell upon you tc-niorrow, and
offer to go to Mr. Stanton tb say. for the good
ot tho service and of tho country, he ought to
resign. This on Sunday. On Monday I will
again call on you, and, if you think it necessa?
ry, I will do tho same-call on Mr. Stanton aDd
tell him to resign. If bo will not, then it will
bo time to contrive ulterior measures. In the
meantimo it BO happens that no necessity ex?
ists for precipitating matlers.
"Yours, truly, W. T. SHER ?AN,
Lieutenant-General."

ts- THE MISERABLES OF THIS BRIGHT
and cheerful world are the Dyspeptics.
Without a good digestion there can neither be
t odily comfort nor mental enjoyment
Between the stomach and the brain there is a close
i nd wonderful alliance. If the one is disordered
Ibo other is gloomy, dejected. Incapable cf effort,
i nd indifferent to all that makes life agreeable to the
healthy.
Is this a condition that any rational human being
is willing to endure, when the means of certain,
I m mediate and permanent relief can be obtained
everywhere?
The Dyspeptlo has his fate In his own hands. Ii
ic chooses to banish forever the disorder that racks
ila body and disturbs the mind with nam .ess hor?
rors, he has only to step to the nearest drug store
?nd procure a supply of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS.
No phase of Dyspepsia bas ever yet resisted the
alterative, tonic and anti-bilious operation of this po?
tent vegetable specific. It literally regenerates the
lethargic stomach; rouses Into healthy action the
i orman t liver; puts to flight th? dismal fancies that
ocset the mind; gently relieves and regulates the
Dowels; strengthens the enfeebled nerves; restores
the appetite, and makes, as lt were, a mew ctazAirmE
of the desponding and debilitated invalid.
Ladies who Huffer from indigestion have only to
toko a small doss of this pure vegetable corrective*
once or twice a day, to secure entire exemption from
the pains and penalties of a weak stomach and that
perfect functional regularity, which but few of the
sox uninterruptedly enjoy. 6 February 34

IO- A CARD.-WHAT IS TABRAN'1'S EF?
FERVESCENT SELTZER APERIENT and what are
its effects ? These are questions which the great
American public bas a right to sax, and it has also a
right to expect a candid and satisfactory reply. The
preparation is a mild and gentle saline cathartic, al?
terative and tonic and ls most carefully prepared in
the form cf a snow white powder, containing all the
wonderful medical properties of the far-famed Selt?
zer Springs of Germany.
Of its effects we would say that those who have
tested the preparatii n are the bost judges, and they
declare over their own signatures, that the prepara?
tion will promptly relieve indigestion. Regulate the
How of the bile. Cure every specie of headache.
Tranquilize the nervous system. Refresh and in?
vigorate the weak. Mitigate the pangs of Rheuma?
tism. Neutralize acid in the stomach. Cleanse and
tone the bowels. Assist the failing appetite. Cure
the heartburn.
If you are a sufferer give this remedy one trial, and
it will convince you of the above facts.
