There were many notables on the
floor Of the Senate during the pro
cess Of swearing in the members If
the Cont Of Impeachment, and the
intervening debate, but there was
scarcely any one there 80 noteworthy

his black robes, and, after his lite
time in its service, looking. one may

contempt upon these creatures that
have dared to interfere so with the
inviolate sanctity Of the law.
There are but few of the Senators
whose eyes have been annointed to
see the struggle going on amidst
them between party-neccssity and
eelf.interest, on the one side, and
naked honesty on the other. There
was naturally, then, an obvious want
of dignity on the floor; one beheld
with sadness that it was the day of
littlo men there, but with horror that
it was the day of little men temper
ing with great things.
Bnt there was n much greater want
OF dignity In the galleries. Women
came early into those luxurious
seats, and brought their knitting;
some brought their novels; others
brought their opera glasses, and

much of Mr.. Buckalew, and said so
the rustling Of the novel.readers'
leaves; the mellifluous notes that
