To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Johnson's good faith, but the prosecution immediately ob- jected to any proof of the President's motives; and when Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy, took the stand to report the deliberations of the cabinet over the Tenure-of-Office Act, Butler and his assistants were instantly up in arms.
In vain the defence protested that the Presi- dent, being charged with an intentional violation of the laws, should be permitted to refute the motive attributed to his conduct, but the man- agers knew the... vital importance of the proposed testimony, and they fought it tooth and nail.
Finally the Chief -Justice ruled that the proof was relevant and admissible, but, a Senator objecting, the question was submitted to the Senate, which promptly overruled the highest judicial authority in the cotintry and refused to listen to the proof.
A more shameless denial of justice can scarcely be imagined; but the President's counsel were 164 IMPEACHMENT OF ANDREW JOHNSON men of tinlimited resource and indomitable cour- age, and they straightway devised a means of spreading the facts upon the record indirectly, with the same or even greater force than they would have had if introduced directly.
