isals. Sumner's protests were at last effective. According to Mr. Welles, this interview of the senator with the President, and his own conference with him concerning the application of a Prussian adventurer (the only one filed under the Act), terminated the privateer policy, and closed the subject of letters of marque and reprisal during the rebellion. Welles's Lincoln and Seward, pp. 145-164; New York Tribune, February 27, March 11, 17, 27, and April 3, 1863; New York Evening Post. February 21. Referring to another question,—the disposition of public mails found on private vessels violating the blockade,—which was under consideration in 1862-1863, Mr. Welles mentions (p. 90) the great confidence President Lincoln had in Sumner's superior intelligence and information on questions of international law, and his habit of consulting the senator on conflicting and troublesome subjects with foreign powers. Mediation and intervention in our Civil War, sometimes with the suggestion

n consumed the attention of Congress during the larger part of this session. The House, after refusing, Dec. 7, 1867, by a decisive vote, to order it (the Republicans being divided), voted it, Feb. 24, 1868, by a large majority,—a strict party vote. Between the two votes the Senate voted, January 13, not to concur with the President's suspension of Secretary Stanton, which took place the preceding August; but the president, notwithstanding the refusal to the concur, removed Mr. Stanton, February 21, in violation, as alleged, of the Tenure-of-Office Act. Sumner wrote in pencil, February 2, from his seat to Stanton a note with the single word stick in the body of it, which for a while had currency in political discussions. The note came into the possession of Ben Perley Poore, and was sold in 1888 at an auction in Boston to a New York dealer in autographs. The Senate began its session, March 5, for the trial of the impeachment, Chief-Justice Chase presiding; and the vote was take

. On the first day the friends of the President crowded the galleries,—among whom were conspicuous the ladies from the White House. Conkling's speech was characteristic in manner, gesture, and style. The next day, when Schurz was to reply, ladies were admitted into the Senate chamber, where they filled the sofas and the standing-room. Inspired by the controversy and by his audience, he never spoke in the Senate with such nervous energy, fire, and immediate effect. New York Tribune, February 21. See as to Schurz's other speeches in the debate, New York Tribune, February 26, 27, 28. The galleries were with him, and their outbursts of applause were with difficulty repressed by the chair. Sumner thanked him warmly, and said to others as well as to him that it was the greatest speech he had heard in the Senate for twenty years. Morton led in the debate that followed, and was called to order by the chair for saying that he had extreme contempt for the senator's extreme insolence.
