REPORT OF THE INIPEACH-

THE PRESIDENT TO BE IMPBACHED.
WASHINGTON, Nov. s5.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s5.
The Judiciary Committee met at o'clock
this morning, for the purpose of hearing reac
the reports of the majority and minority on
impeachment. They will be signed anu
presented to the House after the speaker
announces the standing committees.
The majority will be sigued by Aiessrs;
Williams, Boutwell,, Thomas, Lawrence ana
Churchill the minority by Messrs. WILSON,
chairman, Woodbridge, Eldridge ana MAR
shall. The latter report is very elaborate
nearly twice the length OF the majority rc'
port. .,,,, ,,,
Great excitement prevails throughout INC
CITY respecting the impeachment question:
and it is the general theme oi conversation
in all circles.
Assistant Secretary Chandler has resign
ed, his resignation to take effect NoVemDe'
30. If this Congress should adjourn this
session sine die before the commencement
of the December session, Mr.. Cooper woult
enter upon his duties in the recess, and b'
commissioned to hold office until the cNpi
ration of the next session, which may las
until after the next Presidential election
and as Mr.. McCulloch's resignation may b
accepted any time, this would place th
immense patronage of the Treasury Depart
ment in the hands of the Presidents part
sans. To prevent this, Congress will hay
to remain in continuous session.

H'NIV'ED STATES COURT.
.ucN- geryis, X'rsnl.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 2G.--The court
opened at eleven o'clock, and was soon
densely crowded, principally with white peo-
pie, and many ladies' AT 1880 O'CLOCK,
Judge Underwood called the court to order
The grand jury answered to their names
They comprise eighteen white and six color
ed men, all radicals.
The oath prescribed by the act of Con-
gress of June 17th 1862 excluding all per
sons from serving on jury who have aided
or been concerned in the rebellion, was ad
minstercd to the members of the grand
Jury. Judge Underwood said that who had
conscientious scruples against taking an
oath should Inform the court. None an
swercd.
In being sworn, whites and blacks took
the Bible together, which caused q smile
throughout the court room.
Judge Underwood then charged the
Grand Jury, defining treason and its punish
mCnt under the laws of Congress.
He said "lf it is brought to your know
ledge that any citizen of the United States
has been engaged in levying war against
them, it will be your duty to find and in
dictnent for treason against the offender,
unless it be also brought to your knowledge
that such offender has received a special
pardon, or is Included in some general act
of amnesty.
"You are to be absolutely impartial. All
personal favor and disfavor must be vigor-
ously excluded from your room. No party
and no class bias or prejudice must be al
lowed the slightest influence upon your de-
cisions." The charge was brief, moderate
in tone, and the authorship of it is attribu-
ted to Hon. Salmon p. Chase.
1t also touched upon violations of the IL
tarno1 rnvanup and postal Laws and recon
struction acts, which will be brought before
the court. The grand Jury then retired fol
deliberaton at 1890.
Mr.. Eyarts, on the part of the Govern
mcnt, said it was intended to proceed with
the trial of Davis at some period during this
term, but the public duties of Chief Justice
Chase prevented his attendance, and he
would name day after Judge Chase's Off
cial duties in the Supreme Court has beer
concluded, and proposed that the first Wed
ncsday in March be assigned for the trial.
Mr.. O'Conor, for the defense, assented to
this, but said it would cause the defendant
inconvenience, and hoped the Government
would arrange it positively for the day
named. He preferred to renew Davis re
cognizance for the trial in May, when Mr.
Chase would certainly attend, but withdrew
this, and agreed to the day named, bu
hoped Mr.. Davis would be called on pre-
viously.
Mr.. Evarts anticipated no difficulty in thu
tiial coming off in March, as Mr. Chase wou(
undoubtedly be present then.
Judge Underwood assented, MS it was de
sirable to have two judges present in case
of such importance, and it was due to the
defendant, and he directed an order fixing
the day named.
Mr. Davis was not present during the pro
ccedings but it is understood he was in the
vicinity aud would have been produced il
necessary.
