WASHINGTON LETTER.

Correspondence Terre Haute Express Washington, D.C., May 2, 1868 Every loyal man in Washington is praying for the close of the great State Trial The able speeches of the managers and of the counsel of Mr. Johnson are listened to and read with impatience -- The facts of the case were as well known to the people of the United States at the commencement of the trial as they are now, or ever will be. But, I suppose, the "forms of law" must be complied with, So let the nation watch and pray.— Opposing counsel have a glorious chance to display the oratorical powers and legal lore. Never will any of them have such another. Who then, can blame them for taking advantage of the golden opportunity, now afforded them of making their names familiar in the four quarters of the globe—of having the substance of their speeches flashed to expectant readers, along a thousand wires, over hill, dale, mountain and valley, and even away down deep, deep, across the bed of the vast Atlantic Let us not, then, grumble at these gentlemen for exercising a privilege accorded to them by the "wisdom of our ancestors." But no one of these learned lawyers will change a vote either way. Nothing but personal friendship, gold or the lust of power place ond patronage, can change a vote. And there is little or no danger of enough of such influences being brought to bear in this trial to secure an acquittal of Mr. Johnson. It is thought that by the end of next week Mr. Wade will be installed in the White House, in the full exercise of the functions of Chief Magistrate of the United States.

In connection with the rumor that Senator Fowler of Tennessee will vote for the acquittal of Andrew Johnson, it is stated that Governor Brownlow has written a letter to Horace Maynard which is characteristic of the old man's vehement patriotism. Among other things he says he wants no Senator who votes for Andrew Johnson's acquittal to offer him his hand in friendship.

Let me quit politics for while and say a few words on another subject quite as important, perhaps, but not apparently so. Receptions are generally bores. But there was one given a few evenings ago by Wm. Prescott Smith, of Baltimore, that deserves special mention as the inauguration of a much needed improvement in the management of social reunions.— Mr. Smith is known to the community at large as successful railroad and general business man, and to his friends as the very essence of a good, well-meaning and well-doing man. Although naturally an artist and philosopher, he has been educated in the school of practical life, so that he is roundly developed and his knowledge, tastes and pursuits connect him by strong ties to so many varieties of his fellow men that he is just the man for leader in any social movement. Usually men of opposite pursuits look upon each other with contempt or indifference. The sculptor and the banker do not sufficiently respect each other. The musician and the farmer often look upon and speak of each other's pursuits with undisguised contempt. The world will never constitute a "happy family" until men learn to appreciate fully that all useful pursuits are honorable, and that the useful necessarily includes the ornamental. Mr. Smith is one of those few men who understand this to be true, and he aims, therefore, to bring into social contact, that they may see, know and understand each other, eminent men from the different walks of life.— Poets, artists, scientists, statesmen, manufacturers and mechanics mingled freely in Mr. Smith's house, the other night, got well acquainted with each other, and had "a good time generally.'" There were

Donald Mitchell (Ike Marvel) and Boker cheek by jowl with Commissioner Rollins and Assistant Secretary Cooper; Governor Andy Curtin and Morton McMichael, Mavor of Philadelphia, hob-nobbing it with Du Chaillu, the celebrated African explorer, &c., &c. Only fancy about eighty men, all eminent in their respective lines of thought or action, released for a time from the cares of the world, and determined to "make a night of it!" Such rare and racy wit. such easy and artistic commingling, was never before, perhaps, enjoyed on this continent. Nothing prim, nothing formal nothing conventional.—

The only drawback to the scientific completeness, so to speak, of the affair, was the absence of women. There is doubtless some difficulty in inducing women to take a hand in anything that is not fashionable. They are more conservative than men. But it is to be hoped that the genius of Mr Smith will finally surmount this difficulty, and that, at his next reception, the lights will shine over fair women as well as brave men.

A new secret organization has been formed here called the "Patrons of Husbandry," in which your farmer readers will be interested. Young women are admitted into the order at sixteen years of age. Young men have to wait two years longer. This Organisation is devoted to the interests of agriculture, the secresy being merely "to add a charm to the beautiful and interesting ceremonies of initiation," and to secure for it such permanence as masonic and other orders have obtained, measurably, it is claimed, through the element of secresy. The 'National Grange,' which meets in the Capital of the nation, has adopted a constitution for the guidance of the Order, including all the subordinate "Granges which may be established throughout the country. The four initiating degrees represent Spring, Summer, Autumn and

Winter. To dignify labor, to associate it with science and recreation, to elevate the art of cultivating the soil to the highest grade of intellectual pursuits, are the aims of this organization and when it is considered that the products of the soil constitute the basis of all wealth, the immense importance of the work proposed to be accomplished by this new

secret order cannot be over estimated.— Success to the "Patrons of Husbandry."— May they have all the prosperity their good cause deserves 1 The officers of the "National Grange" are—

Master—William Saunders, Dut. ColLzctubzb—J. R. Thompson, Vermont. OviRSEEB—Anson Bartlett, Ohio. UStkwabd—William Muir, Missouri

In the celebrated Gaines Will case, lately decided in the Supreme Court, the senior counsel of Mrs. Gaines is said to have received a foe of $25,000. This case has given employment to hundreds of attorneys during the thirty odd years of its existence Among the first lawyers employed by Mrs. Gaines was Mr. Stephen Pearl Andrews, then a young practitioner in New Orleans. While Mrs. Gaines has been pushing her claim persistently to a successful termination, her quondam attorney kas been passing through a series of interesting vicissitudes, and has at length reached point which is likely lo attract even a wider attention than the cause of his successful client of thirty years ago For nearly that period Mr. Andrews has been engaged in the discovery and elaboration of the most stupendous work of modern times, to-wit: a Science of the Univerr-e- as such, An announcement of the early publication of introductory works on the subject was recently made by Mr. Andrews, at the Polytechnic Institution in New York.— Geology, Astronomy, Mineralogy, &c., are sciences merely of parts, of the Universe, while Universology is that Science which treats the Universe as a whole, In precisely the same manner that the special sciences treat of their respective do-, mains. From an inspection of advanced sheets of the "Basic Outline of Universology. soon to be published, infer that the claims of the author will challenge the favorable criticism of the scientific world.

HOUSE.

The Speaker announced the Select Committee to investigate Washburne's charges against Donnelly, as Messr?. Banks, Thomas, (Md.,) Poland, Griswold, Blair, (Mich.,) Woodward aad Beck.

Mr. Dawes at the request of Butler, offered a resolution that tho Committee also inquire into the allegations of Brooks on Friday, relative to Butler

Mr. Brooks would not object to the reception of the resolution if he could move as amendment extending the limit of investigation.

Mr. Dawes replied he could present his proposition as a separate matter. The House then pjoceeded to the Senate. 1 j.'iiVlSBNATB.,

Mr Cameron moved to iayite the members of the Medical Convention, now in session in the city, to seats the gallery, without tickets, saying they numbered about 200.

Mr. Drake objected. If. kifi-'S The motion was disagreed to. Mr. Bingham resumed his argument. Mr. Bingham, after recapitulating his argument of yesterday, took up the question whether or not it is nocessarj' in this case to prove the evil intent. He read from the records of English State trials to show such proof is not needed. He could not argue the point at any length because it was plainly settled by common law and the practice of centuries the arguments of the counsel on this question were purelle,and unfit to be uttered intbe presence of the Senate.

He then referred to the question of the power of the President to fill vacancies created by himself during session of the Senate, and insisted that the fact of the intimate connection of the power of appointment With that of removal had been studiously kept out of sight by the counsel opposing him, and went on to argue with reference to .all the provisions bearing on the subject, that the right to appoint a Cabinet officer without consent of the Senate was nowhere granted to the President by the Constitution, it could not be merely filling a vacancy by a temporary appointment, his letter authoritatively appointed Gen. Thomas for an indefinite time. To show that it was not among the President's implied powers under the Constitution to vacate and fill offices without consent of the Senate, he read from the writings of Hamilton and Webster.

He further maintained that the speeches of Sherman and other Senators were not susceptible of the meaning put on them by the opposing counsel. In regard to the debate of 1789, he contended too much weight was given to utterances of partisan debate at the time, but be ar-

May 4th.—Her Majesty re

ued the of removal granted the in 1789 was restricted by subsequent legislation.

He held also that President Adams removed Mr, Pickering before the Senate met, although on the same day, and the record was npt clear. He asked of what avail would be the provision of the Constitution limiting the power to fill vacancies during a recess of the Senate, to thft issue of a commission that would expire at the beginning of the next session, if the President could create vacancies at all during session of the Senate.

Mr. Bingham challenged the Citation of any law, or section of the Constitution which would limit the tenure of officers thus apppointed by the President by such appointments. He could keep no man in office at his pleasure, without regard to the Constitution Oxutliia sabj«ol, «nd on the questioh-6f what are thi limitations of Executive power, Bingham cited numerous authorities, and quoted from speeches, of Webster.

With regard to the President's defense that he sought to test the validity of the Tenu*e-or-office law, he asserted: there has n6ver been an unequivocal decision of the Supreme Court against the Constitutionality of the law or Congress, and held it was only a bold pretence of the President to taRe upon himself a responsibility which the court itself had never aussumed.

The presumption was altogether in favor of the law's vitality. To admit his possession of a discretionary and judicial prerogative vould be to clothd a creature with power superior to the power which created him, and would enable him at pleasure to defy the will of the people, the Constitution, and laws.

Alluding to an expression of Mr. £varts, he denied having claimed the innocence of Congress, he regarded that body equally with the President the servant of the people, but neither Congress nor the Judiciary were answerable to the Executive-

He Would make no further answer to the clamor of tho learned gentleman on this point, but must repel the charges against the House of Representatives as having brought and originated impeachment in party hate, and against the Senate for having expressed an opinion on a subject which they were afterwards to ju3ge. It was their duty to express that opinion, for thev were to try the President in another and different court

He then recited the three laws which the President was charged with having violated, claiming it had been already shown that three versions were given.— He qnoted Dent that maladministration in office was also ground for impeachment.

He held that it v&s entirely immaterial whether or not the articles were framed In the technical form of an indictment, ©very child knew bis offense was an assumption of power to judge of the validity of laws for himself, and to obey them or not at hi* pleasure, and it wss not too much to say a bolder piece of effrontery was never before known. ..-ji

He held that the elaborate argument of the counsel to prove that the law of 1863 did not repeal the act of 1789, and admitted it was in the power of the President to determine the tenure office, was a subject not determined bv Constitutional provisions, and proceeded to comment on the act of 1867 in order to show it was clear and explicit in its terms. Referring to Senator Sherman's remark, who said be would consent to the removal of a Cabinet officer who should be so destitute of bonoT as to refuse to resign when requested by the Senate, Mr. Bingham said the remark was natural at that time, for circumstances had not then developed the malignitv and intents of the President, besides tho expression showed that the consent of the Senate was necessary.— None doubted at that time that Stanton came within the provision of the act The President did cot, for he had acknowledged as much by suspending Mr. Stanton under the act. Now, how is the power of suspension given him? Even the wording of his message was borrowed in put from the language of the act, and tins excuse was an after thought to coventp his villainy. He held the Presidentj%as responsible for having abused the pliers granted him by the act, to remove Stanton without alleging or proving the latter had become disqualified in any way from exercising his duties, ftacess.

On reassembling, Mr. Bingham claimed it had been already shown that the President Was self-convicted of the charges contained in the 1st, 3d, 3rd, 8th and 11th articles, and orooeediaf to speak of the val of lb. Stanton paid a glowing

tribute to the public services, character and virtues of that officer, who bad been proved faithful among the faithless, and who in all the qualities which adorn and ennoble human nature had no suporior in any age, yet thi? distinguished patriot had been removed without a colorable excuse, in violation of law, to gratify the personal enmity of the President.

Mr. Bingham was glad to be able to agree with the counsel on one point, viz: that unconstituional law was no law, but insisted it cannot be considered unconstitutional till it has been so pronounced in the proper way.

He would also reiterate that erii intents are to be presumed from evil acts, but tlie President's evil intention was not merely a matter of presumption, but of confession.

To show this Mr. B. read from the President's letter to Gen. Grant, iu which he says "you know that it was my purpose to prevent Mr. Stanton from resuming the duties of the office of Secretary of War," and he claimed further, that every one not stupid or insane knew that if Stanton had been kept out of hi? office he never could have got into the court and a decision could never have been obtained.

The President's defense that he wanted to obtain a quo warranto was mere babble to the ears of the Senate.

He asked why, if the President's purpose in all ho did was to procure a decision of the Supreme Court he did not institute proceedings It was because it was impossible for him to do so, as he know it would be from the beginning.

He then read from Greenleaf to show that the President n.ust be held responsible for his action. In reply to the defease that the act was not consummated, he said it had been long settled that the attempt was to commit misdemeanor, in support of which proposition he cited legal authority.

He also held that any offence under the common law was indictablein the District of Columbia according to the laws ot 1801 and 1831. According to the Ten-ure-of-Office law it made the removal of Stanton and the appointment of General Thomas a misdemeanor, an1 no intelligent man could deny they were impeachable offences.

The only question which remained to be considered was the Constitutionality of that law. He might simply say that was a close question to acknowledge now that the Tenure of-Office act, which after a long discussion had been passed, and then passed over the President's veto, and again approved on February 22d, is unconstitutional. It will be for fte Senate to deny its decision three times made, and confess it is the guilty party worthy of impeachment.

Mr. Bingham then referred to his wn course and that of the majoritv of his party in opposing impeachment till it was unavoidable, till the Gods had made him mad, whom they wished to destroy. In regard to the defense based on the practice of the Government during 80 years, he denied that such practice was contrary to the spirit of the Tenure-of.Offlce law, but claimed that tho acts of 1789 and 179? and subsequent years all implied and assumed tho power of Congress to regulate the entire subject. In regard to the declarations of the President, which, contrary to all rules of evidence had been adduced in his defense, he said they weie all made after the fact, yet was not sorry they all concurred in showing the President's unjustifiable purposes.

Mr. Bingham then took up the charges of conspiracy, and argued that the joint action oY the President and General. Thomas was indiot«bi« under the conspiracy'act of 1861, but said that the ioiictment of Gen. Thomas would be useless until after the President's impeachment and conviction, since the latter would nullify it by the use of his pardoning pofrer. In the interests of justice then, conviction of the President wa3 demanded. If it were urged this was a small offense he reminded Senators they were not granted with the pardoning power.

He then reviewed the evidence of Gen. Thomas, and claimed to show therefrom that he and the President had conspired together in reference to various matters concerning army movements and appropriations, out on conference had decided to let these matters rest until they should see whether an acquittal would not give them a better chance of success.

Mr. Bingham at this point stated it would take him an hour more t» finish, and the Senate and Court both adjourned at 4 o'clock.

General Conferenco of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Chicaoo, May 5.—The Conference assembled at the usual hour. Bishop Ciurk in the Chair, and was opened by the usual religious 'services. The se#sior. v-as largely occupied with the presents lion of memorials, petitions and remonstrances,, mostly on the subject of I.av Kepressntatives.

At 10 o'clock the orders of tb-- diy being tho Episcopal Address, tbat document was read by Bishop Simpson. It is a very able paper, touching upon most of tho interests of the denomination. Its reading was listened to with deep interest.

The address opens with invocations of divine blessing upon the representatives of the church in General Conference a?sembled, and a brief allusion to the interesting period of their assembling, the beginning of the second century of the Church in America, and at the close of the great civil war provoked by slavery, which it«elf bad perished in the conflict.

The address referred to the death of Bishop Hamlin, who had died since the last Genera' Conference, paying a beautiful tribute to the genius, learning and eloquence of the departed.

The address regretted the impaired state of the health of Bishop Baker, and referred to the visit of Bishop James to England as the delegate of ttiis body to the mission church in England

In reference to the organization of mission Conferences in the recent slave States,

The address contained full information and recommended the admission of their delegates

The membership oi the church in the South is now 550 ministers and 117,000 members.

The increase of membership of the church at large was fcund to be greater during the last four years, than in any quadrennial period.

The total number of Churches at pres ent is 11,121,^their value $35,885,439, and the numbertf communicants over 1.000,000.

The address reviewed the educational interests of the denomination, representing them aa in a highly flourishing condition, especially those devoted to the theologiaal training of candidate! for the ministry. The publishing interests of the Church had been greatly prospered during the last four years, the increase of sales having been far greater than any former period.

The contributions to the missionary cause during the last quadriennial period amount to nearly f3,000,000, and yet such are the increasing demands of this great work that the treasury is now in debt.

The mission fields were ali in & highly satisfactory condition, and in most of them encouraging progress was being made, especially in India. China and Germany. I .-n*?
