cheerfulness, is the thing that You must bring

those outbrcakings of loud mirth, nor what
the world sometimes calls high flow OF

sinks to dulIness-that moves from grave to
gay, from seriousness to serene, and by mere
manner gives proof of feeling. heart and gen,

Congress-.

In the Senate, yesterday, communication
from Chief Justice Chase in relation to the pro-
per mode of proceeding in the trial Of the Pres
ident on the impeachment charges, was referred
to select committee. The bill providing for
the extension Of the Capitol grounds was taken
up, amended and passed. at o'clock p. M
the managers of impeachment appeared, and
Mr.. bingham announced that the managers
were ready to present the articles Of impeach-
ment. After proclamation by tho Sergeant-at-
Arms the articles were presented and read by
Mr.. Bingham. The President Of the Senate
announced that that body would take action on
them, and give due notice to the House. A
resolution was adopted providing that at one
o clock to-day the Senate shall proceed to con-
slider the impeachment of President johnson,
and the oath provided by the Constitution shall
be administered to each Senator by Chief JUS
tice Chase, and that the House be notified Of
this resolution. MeSsrs. Pomeroy, Wilson and
Buckslew were appointed q committee to wait
on the Chief Justice and notify him of o trial Of
impeachment over which he is expected to pre-
side, and to escort him to the Chair. The SEN
ate then adjourned.
In the House of Representatives, the conslde-
ration Of tho additional article of impeachment
proposed By Mr.. Jenckes, was resumed. After
some discussion it was referred to the Managers
for consideration. The House then went into
Committee of the Whole, Mr.. Dawes being
called to the Chair, and, preceded by the Man
ayers, marched in body to the Senate for the
purpose of presenting the articles of impeach-
ment to that body. None of the Democratic
members accompanied the Managers, but re-
manned in their seats in the House, as did also
Messrs. F. Thomas and Van Wyck of the Re-
publican members. The members of the House
returned at ten minutes of two o'clock. and Mr..
Dawes, Chairman Of the Committee Of the
Whole, reported their action. The Committee
on Printing reported fvorably on Senate bill
in relation to the PRONUNCIATION Of the laws of

lating the manner of such printing and the
same was passed The House then took up the

see. The resolution Of the Committee on Elec-
tons declares Mr. r. R. Butler entitled to the
seat, and as he is unable to take the oath Of
Office, it shall be administered in a modified
form. After a long discussion the subject was
laid over. A resolution directing the General
of the army to inform the House in relation to
the number of votes cast at the Alabama cleo
tion was voted down. -
