Butler offered, in evidence, portions
of the journal of Congress, relating to
the drafting commission for Washing
ton, as General-in-Chief, and its form
as issued ; also a letter from the Sec
retary of the Treasury relating to the
practice of that department in making
ad interim appoint* tents. Postmast
er General Randall was recalled and
produced a copy of the indictment of
Foster Blodgett. Butler offered Blod
gett’s answer to the notice of his re
moval. Evarts objected, saying that
Blodgett was not on trial. The mana
gers offered t-o show that the indict
ment was procured by desperate ene
mies. Evarts maintained that it was
not relevant, but if it was wished to
put Blodgett on the stand, he was pre
pared to prove the charges untrue.
The Senate without division refused
the evidence. Butler offered an order
placing General Sherman in command
of the department of the Atlantic.
Evarts objected, and said it was not
in rebuttal of any evidence that had
been introduced. The Senate by a
vote of fourteen to thirty-five refused
to receive Butler’s order. It was an
nounced that the case for the mana
gers was closed, and the court adjourn
ed till Wednesday. Senate then went
Into executive session.
