destined to create great sensation In Switzerland.

whom she had within the space Of six months been
engaged to attend. The substances used were bel.
ad0nna and atrQphine, an extract Of the same; and
to obtain them she simulated partial blindness for
which they are employed as remedy. The woman
appears TO have had q mon0manla OF crime, as
benefit from their death; she Is even said to have
nursed them with great tenderness. She was at
length detected by French painter named B.

showing symptoms OF poisoning, recovered; when

Impeachment The President asks
Forty Days Time, and is Allow
ed Ten, to Prepare for Trial.

The following are the proceedings
before the Court of Impeachment on
Friday last, the day on which the
President was to answer to the sum
mons served upon him by the Court
At one o'clock, the morning hour
having expired, Chief Justice Chase
took the chair, and the Sergeant-at-
arms made proclamation in the usual
form.
The Secretary read the journal OF
the last meeting Of the Court. A large
number of Representatives headed by
the managers of impeachment, in the
meanwhile were standing IN file out
side the open door.
On motion of Mr.. Howard, an order
was made that the Sergeant-at-arms
notify the House that the Senate was
organized as a court Of impeachment,
and ready to proceed with the trial of
Andrew Johnson.
Immediately thereafter. the mana
gers and members of the House took
the seats provided for them, Mr.. But
Ter being absent.
The Senators who had not already
done so, took the oath.
The return of the Sergeant-at-arms
of his service of the summons on the
President was read, when, on motion
of Mr.. johnson, the counsel of the
President we're notified of the com
mencement of proceedings, and Messrs.
StanberTy, Curtis and Nelson took
their seats at the table, on the right of
the Chief Justice, aud opposite to the
managers, who were seated on the
left. Mr.. Butler, the remaining man
ager, came in, and shortly after anOth-
er deputation of the House entered,
headed by Mr. Washburne, of Illinois,
and Mr.. Mcpherson, Clerk of the
House, and ranged themselves behind
the bar.
Mr.. Stanberry rose, and addressing
the Chief Justice, read the answer of
the President, entering his appearance
and naming as his counsel, Messrs.
Stanberry, Curtis, Nelson, Black and
Evarts, and asking a reasonable time
for preparation of his defense-the pc
riod of forty days-citing various cases
in which periods as long in proportion
to the magnitude of the case had been
granted.
Mr.. Bingham, on behalf of the
managers, contended that the eighth
rule provided that, on the appearance
of the President, he was required to
file his answer, and in case his answer
was not fled, the trial should proceed
on a plea of not guilty He claimed,
therefore, that the trial should pro-
ceed forthwith.
Mr.. Curtis. in reply, referred to the
cases of Judge Humphreys and others,
and argued that the rule was suscep-
tible of no such construction as that
put upon it by Mr.. Bingham.
Mr.. Wilson followed, enfarging on
the same views as his colleague.
Mr.. Stanberry expressed greater sur
prise than he had before felt at this
claim put forward by the managers,
and said there seemed to be a disp0si-
ton to hurry through this momentous
trial as if it were a case before a po-
lice court. He argued, from the word
ing Of the other rules, that the appear
ance day was not intended to be the
day for answering and the trial day.
He said that two Of the Presidents

Supreme Court Abolished.

The Ohio Senate, yesterday after
noon, by a strict party vote, passed the
resolution that Henry @. Jones is not
entitled to a seat as Senator from the
Eighth Senatorial District, in the face
of the fact admitted by the entire Sen
ate, that Mr.. Jones received a major
ity Of all the votes which were legal
votes at the time the election was held.
This decision of the Democracy is, to
say the least, most extraordinary.
Men having a preponderance of
white blood have had the right to vote
under the old Constitution and the
new for almost half a century. Can
those who, under the Constitution and
the laws, we're legal voters in October,
be made illegal voters at that time, In
consequence of a resolution of the
Ohio Senate passed five months after
such an election was held ? Was it
the duty of the judges of elections in
the Eighth District to reject the votes
of all voters having the least admiX-
ture of African blood? Would they
not have been liable TO prosecutions
and penalties for so doing? Were not
all judges sworn to obey the COnsti-
tuition aud the laws Were they, or
were they not, bound to regard the
Interpretation given to the Constitu-
ton by the highest judicial tribunal ?
By doing what was their uudeniable
constitutional duty, they were admit
ting, according to Democratic logic,
illegal votes They discharged their
duties according to law, but not ac-
oording to what ought to have been
law. Therefore they were wrong,
Wrong according to an ec post faeto
resolution Of the Senate passed almost
six months after the legal votes were

counsel we're MT present; that no op-
portuntiy had been offered for the
nreDaration Of the defense or the call
ing of witnesses, and that IN the worst
DAYS Of the Star Chamber such an at
tempt to hurry through a trial had
never been made, He spoke very
warmly, saying that there seemed to
have been a trap set for the President
and his counsel.
At the conclusion of his remarks,
the Chief Justice said the motion
would be argued for an hour, in &C
cordance with the rules, when Mr..
Bingham rose and said he had been
greatly surprised at hearing the hasty
words which had dropped from the lips
Of his learned friend. (Mr. Stanberry,)
and asserted the only motive of the
managers was to enforce the rule
which the Senate had made, and to
prevent a dilatory line Of defense.
The Chief Justice was about to put
the question on Mr.. StaUbery's motion,
when Mr. Edmunds offered an order
that April 1st be the day appointed
for the filing of the Presidents an
swer; that within three days thereafter
the managers file the replication and
that on the 9Th of April the trial pro-
On motion of Mr.. Morton, at 2
o'clock the Senate retired for cOnsulta-
tion.
At4:10 the Senate returned to their
chamber, and the court re-assembled.
The Chief Justice announced that
the motion under consideration had
been OYeFFuled. and an order was en-
tered that the President be required
to file his answer on Monday, the 23d
of March.
Mr.. Bingham offered an order, that
on the fling of the replication By the
managers. the trial proceed forthwith
The Chief Justice submitted the
order to the Senate, and on the ques-
tiou Of adoption the yeas and nays
were taken, resulting % votes in the
and 26 In the negative. So
the order was denied.
Mr.. Sherman offered a proposition
that the trial commence on the 9th Of
April, to which Mr.. Wilson moved an
amendment substituting the lst of
April.
Mr.. Butler rose and spoke about
half an hour, urging the pressing ne
cessity Of a speedy disposition of the
trial. He was replied to by Mr. Nell
son. Finally, at half past 5 o'clock, a
motion of Mr.. Conkling prevailed that
the President file his answer on the
23d, aud the trial pTogeed as soon
thereafter as the replication of the
managers can be filed, which, accord
ing to the opinion of Mr. Butler and
others, means the 524th.

government ought to collect and dis

Executive fully in sympathy with the

A Question For Finanoiers.

The last official statement of the
Public Debt shows that there were In
the Treasury on the 1st inst. no less
than SI06 ga, ,374 IN coin, from which
deduct the amount of Gold Certltica-
tes outstanding [s25. .699 $500 and
there remain over Eighty Millions of
Dollars in gold and silver belonging
to the United States-an amount
which has undergone little variation
for many months past--an amount
which would buy up, redeem and can
eel over One Hundred Millions of the
interest bearing Debt of the United
States, thereby saving to the People
some Six or Seven Millions of Dollars
per anuum.
The question we would ask is this :
Is there one other fnancier in
a meriea beside Hugh mcCUllOch who
believes 1t necessary or expedient to
keep this vast amount Of coin lying
dead in the Treasury year after year
We do not wish to argue the point
we seek only to ascertain the fact.
Aud if there be no other advocate Of
the boarding policy, we would ask if
there must not be some way to make
that coin available to some good pur-
pose, and not leave it as a perpetual
temptation to burglary and villainy I?

A SOUTHERN VIEW OF IMPEACHMENT.
The following extract is from letter
written by a gentleman in Georgia to a
merchant in New York. What he says
is beyond doubt the simple truth in re-
gard to the result of Impeachment:
"We are not sorry to learn that Mr..
Johnson is to be removed from office.
But for him, this State and half dOz-
en- others would have followed Tenues-
see in accepting the Constitutional
Amendment, by which we should have
been represented at Washington twelve
months since. The evils Mr.. Johnson
has inflicted upon the South by his ef-
forts TO thwart the views of Congress
have been second only TO the spOilatiOns
of war; but, depend upon it, within
sixty days after his removal we shall
have a gradual return of quiet and
prosperity throughout TIE South. Re

Mr.. Shaw Lefevre in the course of
his recent speech in the English Par
lament on the Alabama claims made
these significant remarks:
'sThe hostility Of certain parties in
this country to the Federal cause was
due mainly to dread of its institutions,
to the instinct that in she success Of the
North, was involved the success Of pOpu-
lar govern ment. It was homage paid
to the force of American institutions
On the success of the North there fol-
lowed an immediate necessity for an adj
vance toward Democracy here, and it
was only right that il should be ae-
cOmpanied by a very different tone to-
ward America"
This is exactly what the Republican
Union party maintained throughout
the war. The issue at, stake was the
cause Of free COVER nment, not only in
this country but in all lands. We fought
that government Of TIE people, by the
people and tor the people should not
perish from the earth, and the party
which preserved the American Union
has become the benefactor Of all man
kind.

result was demoralizing and disastrous
to our party and the evil consequences
were realized in those townships last

ems organization and creates jealousies
which ought not to exist. It is very
little trouble for people to attend pri-
mary meetings and see to the nomina-
tiou Of the best men for the town and
corporation officers. This done all
abide by the result and it is no longer a
mere matter Of chance who will be cleo
ted. Instead of a dozen candidates all
squabbling at hap-bazard for the same
place, the contest viii be narrowed to
two, each Of whom has been regularly
put forward because deemed competent
and worthy. This is no small matter,
Party strength grows from the root and
if that is unsound or feeble the tree can
not be vigorous and strong. System
and organization in these matters are
both to good local government
and party success.

The Ohio House Of Representatives
has passed bill authorizing the sale
Of the Walhonding canal by the Iessees
Of public works for the purpose of con-
structing the projected railroad from
Coshocton to Mt. Vernon. This canal
since its construction has cost the State
$780, 600 of expenditure over and above
all receipts from it to keep it in repairs,
and the sale is therefore wise and eX-
pedfent. 1t was originally designed to
be extended to Mt. Vernon but was
never completed and is but little used
for the purpose of transportation. It's
chief value consists in its water power
which the purchasers will be compelled
to preserve, while its tow-path affords
an excellent foundation for the railroad
track, and vastly facilitates the con-
struetion Of the road through that bro
ken country.
