NO SUSPENSION OF THE PRESIDENT.

Much OF the feyerishness in the public mind
in regard to the impeachment proceeding,
arises from the snpposition that Congress will
attempt to suspend the President while the
trial is in progress that he will resist the same
and that serious difficulties will ensue
From what we can learn, there is not the
least ground for belief that it will be attempt
cd 10 suspend the President; on the contrary
the indications are that the impeachment trial
will go on der the usual well-established
forms of procedure, and with full time al
lowed for deliberate consideration, such as is
due to the importance ahd dignity Of the ones
ton and the Office.
