the heads of the department were

he argued that the head of the de-

this exception was well understood
by senators; and noticed the ab-
surdity of charging the President
with high crime and misdemeanor in
acting in accordance with publicly
expressed views of senators; and
argued that the President’s action
was in accordance with the consti-

President's duty to maintain the
prerogative, said it was much more
the president’s duty to guard trust-
placed in his hands by all the peos
pie. Such was the duty nobly ful-
filled by Hamilton, when opposing
payment of ship money. Recapi-
tulating his arguments, to prove
that the President could not be im
peachd for an act designed to pros
cure a judicial decision, he quoted
Butler that the managers admitted
this view, who said that the remove
al in itself was perhaps not an im-
peachable offense, if unaccompan-
ied with defiant messages to the

Curtis said it was a matter of
taste how they should be notified.
Curtis argued to adjournment that

said on these matters, do not apply

continued his argument on the the1

appointments, claiming evidence
would show several instances on
par with that of Stanton and Thom-
as. He insisted that Thomas was
not appointed. Appointment re-
quiring President’s nomination
Senate’s consent and President’s
permission. He characterizes ally
gation that no vacancy existed as
begging the question. The legal va-
cancy existed at the moment Stan
ton received a letter of dismissal.
Recapitulation of his arguments,
Curtis claimed that managers had
not shown President had violated
constitution and laws. Curtis
proceeded to argue conspiracy
charges. Fourth and Sixth articles
charge violation of conspiracy laws
of 1861. He read the law. Its
provisions apply to States and Ter-
titories and in operation in District
of Columbia. Curtis did not rest
on this technicality but argued that
in law preliminary movements of
principal and of agent to bring
before court a private claim, urged
their action of conspiracy. Curtis
claimed this applicable in broader
sense to public rights and relations
of superior and inferior officers ;
also precluded conspiracy.
Curtis will answer 5th and 7th

eral sedition-laws showing that

is brought shows thatCongres was
