Hon.

Thomas Williams of Pennsylvania followed Mr.Stevens with a written argument, rhetorically finished and read with great emphasis.

It presented in new and attractive form the arguments already submitted, but towards the close contained the imprudent expression that "the eyes of an expectant people are upon the Senate." Mr.Evarts followed with an argument of great length, reviewing every phase and feature of the case and making a remarkably effective plea on behalf of his eminent client.

It was as strong in its logic as it was faultless in its style.

The concluding portion of the address was especially eloquent and convincing.
