h.. been less Of it because, probably 'ners

s, Bingham closed his powerful speech s'ss
a. eloquent peroration, and the crown
felt the appeal, and recognized .na'
the great case which had been on tr'ai -.
10 month, was finally closed, il is mol al all
strange, nor very repTehensible IN them, .na'
they manifested their ympathy. uth me
sneaker. and their relief at the close OF the
trial by some indications Of satisfaction.
WHY the Chief Justice and Senator Grimes
should get so excited, and so bolste,oussy ana
obssreperously angry over the matter, oeiongs
10 abe peculiar philosophy Of their own isfs'
inas.
The Tribune's special represents the APP
plauss as slight ebullition, which, on ofoi'
! nary occasions, would have been passed over,
With a ran OF the gavel and order from the
| Chair not to rspsa. Tie ofeHse. The Jorr-
mrs special makes 1t more decidedly 0
breach of decorum, and the Times reporter
sets it forth as an awful and threatening De-
monstration of riotous and disordsry DELI
ance Of the Senate, on the part OF the crowd
! The Times closes its account with this
| PLEASANT ailuson, by which il viii be seen
| that Iowa figures pretty coasPisuously IN the
manufacture oil fun for the crowd, as yell a.
Of startling rumors for the country.
The special Of The Times closes thus;
4 Fessendeu aud Jnhnsan sharply called Cam
| erou TO order, and insisted that the clearance
| he proceeded with, at which there was en-.
/ other volley of Kisses, aud few more boot
/ inps, and the scene looked more revolution
| airy than ever.
Meantime, in the corridors, a few hundred
/ of the elected had formed into Q crowd, and
/ commenced singing sold Grimes is dead,
that poor old soul They were joined by
the ladies' with great gee. Between the verses
the Iowa Senator was literally and malicious
" cursed aud damned as traitor and Cop
perhesd. One man attempted to n axe Q
| sreech against Grimes, and the o'har Fsne'
gades but the .umult was too great for him
and ali around him were too much interested
in the song, which was thought to be pecn
liariy appropriate and piauant. "Will tbs
ladies help us to sing?' said one. Ger
tainly they will, = said another; and so they
did.
While this extraordinary scene was takini
place in the corridors and within the hearing
of the high court of impeachment, Senators
4 we're wondering what still kept the galleries
at least half full Sherman attempted e
solve the mystery, by suggesting 10 the Che
Justice that perhaps those who remained u
the galleries did not understand the natare 0
| the order.
j The Chief Justice repeated The order 70
their benefit, and again instructed the ser
the aid OF all the Capitol employees be coul
