NEW YORK, April 21 (Noon).

The Impeachment Trial continued on Saturday
and 3esterday. The defence renewed the attempt
to introduce the testimony of Secretary Welles re-
lative to the Cabinet consultations upon the Tenure
of-Office Act and the case of Mr. Stanton, claiming
thereby their ability to disprove the intention of
President Johnson to violate the laws. Chief Jus-
tice Chase decided that this testimony was admis-
sible, but the Senate, by 26 against 20 votes, over-
ruled his decision. The Senate, by the same vote,
rejected the testimony of Postmaster• General Ran-
dall, offered by the defence, to prove that the
Cabinet had advised the President that the Tenure
Law did not apply to Secretaries of State appointed
by Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Evarts announced that this
ruling excluded the testimony of Messrs. Seward,
M,Culloch, Browning, and others, which the de-
fence had intended to offer. A Radical witness
testified that the removal of Foster Blodgett, the
Postmaster of Augusta, which had been charged as
an unwarrantable action of Mr. Johnson, was made
by Postmaster-General Randall without the
knowledge of the President. r
The bill for the protection of naturalised subjects
abroad was amended previous to its passage,
so as to exempt from seizure as hostages foreign
ambassadors and their servants, and to empower the
President to suspend the commercial relations with
nations refusing to conform to the requirements of
the measure.

The returns of the elections in South Carolina,
Georgia, and Louisiana are as yet incomplete, but
Radical successes are indicated.
Mr. Buchanan has ordered the Texas Conven-
tion to meet on the 15th June.

NEW YORK, April 22 (Morning).

The House of Representatives, by 91 against 18
votes, refused to consider the resolution offered by
Mr. Robinson, a Democrat, to recall the Managers
and rescind the impeachment proceedings. A reso-
lution was introduced providing that a committee be
appointed to investigate the reports of the Mana-
gers who refrained from examining Gen. Sherman
during the trial in consequence of the result of a
preliminary examination. No vote, however, was
taken upon this resolution.
Late reports indicate the success of the Demo-
crats in the Georgia election.
At New Orleans a Democratic Mayor has been
elected.

The new constitution will probably be adopted in

Louisiana.
