OTHER LICK FOR THE MANAaERs-THE DEVIL
AGAIN sIcK.
WASHINGTON, March 13-Evenipg.- Chief
Justice Chase governed the high court very
strictly.
The chaplain, in his elaborate appeal, failed
to mention the accused.
The managers were defeated in their at
tempts,-frst, to compel an answer to-day,
and, second, to have the trial proceed immedi-
ately after the replication, regardless Of the
state of preparation Of the defence.
The court gave the accused no authority OF
money to send for witnesses, nor was this de-
manded By the defence.
The debate developed the fact that after the
President makes his answer on the 23d inst
the managers will have to submit their replica
tion to the House before presenting 1t. The
managers estimate that this routine Will occupy
three days, after which, if the Senate continues
in its present temper, the President will have
a liberal time for preparation.
Only Stanbery, Curtis and Nelson were pre-
sent on the part of the President. They all
spoke, and made favorable impression.
Bingham, Wilson and Butler spoke on the part
of the managers. Butler was in favor OF
speeding the proceedings. as this was rail-
road age.
Stevens, during the absence Of the Senate,
recined on two chairs in PROSTATE condition.
His terrible cough gave interest to the inter-
ruption of the proceedings.
