Manner Of Impeachment.

We extract the following from the Boston
Post, which is Democratic authority, showing
the manner Of impeaching Johnson:
The proceedings in the Forthcoming trial Of
impeachment have now become of great inter-
est. II Is now the duty Of the House to APP
point board Of managers, probably fvc In
number, whose duty II will DO to proceed to the
Senate, aud in the name Of the House OF Rep
resentatives, impeach the President at the bar
Of that body, and ask them to appoint time
for the hearing of the case, and inform the
Senate that they will in due time present arti-
cles of impeachment. II will then be the duty
of the Senate to organize rs High Court Of
impeachment, aud upon the reception Of the
articles from the House, issue Its warrant TAX
ing jurisdiction Ut the case. and requiring the
President To appear and answer. II 10 not nee
essary that he should respond in person, and
he will probably answer BY his attorneys. Chief
Justice Chase will preside, and the Senate will
81, as jury. They will establish rules regard
ing argument and evidence, and must decide
all points Of law without debate. Upon the
completion of the trial the Secretary VI the
Senate reads each article, upon which the roll
l. called, each Senator answering "Guilty," or
"NOt guilty., tw0-thrds being required in
each case. The decision being given, the Court

and, II guilty, from the moment Of conviction,
by virtue OF Article III Of the Constitution,
ths functions Of the President depart from the
persoa of the party so eonricted, and the Vice
President ascends t. the Chief Magistracy OF

negatives. While the Senate Is sitting rs q

Wilson and Boutwell, are among the names
mentioned as likely to be among those who
will compose the Board Of Managers on the
part Of the House. AS to the length OF the
trial, says the n. Y Times, 1t Is the general
belief that II will be very brief. II Is conceded
on all hands that but one article OF impeach-
meut is necessary. viz 4: that touching the yio-
ls,ion OF the Tenurc.of- Office Act and the Con-
stitution In the absolute removal ot an officer
during the session of the Senate. II is thought
that IL should not last over two weeks ut the

has himself discussed Il repeatedly, II 10 there
fore urged that he will need comparatively Lit.
lie time. Jerry Black, II seems to DO assumed
as matter Of course. will be one Of his counsel
and Attorney General Stanberry will probably
also appear In his behalf. Charles O'Connor,

fact that he Is counsel for JEFF. Davis would be
conjunction Of circumstances not favorable to
the moral effect Of tho Presidents defence.
There Ii little doubt that the Senate will pro-
coed promptly to organizing the Court OF I'm

shortest time, that being unquestionably the best
for the interests Of the country.
