iislatiOn in both branches IS partlcal-
ly suspended. The House met at
noon, and dispensing with reading
of few sentences Of the Journal,
went Immediately over to the SEN
ate. The attendance of members is
daily decreasing. At the Opening
of the trial, Mr. Sumner obtained
the sense of the Senate on the ques-
ton of the right of the Chief Jus
tice to vote when the Senate was
equally divided, which was decided
in favor of Mr.. Chase, by 27 to 81.
Counsel for the President labored
strenuously to have the various con-
versations of Thomas ruled out, but
in all cases they were overruled
either by the Chief Justice or the
Senate.
Mr.. Burleigh. of Dakotah, finish
ed his testimony begun yesterday
by relating that General Thomas
had declared that he should use
force to get into the War Depart
ment if necessary, and afterwards
that his arrest by the civil authorl-
ties alone had prevented it.
Mr.. Stanbery's cross examination
Of this witness was of a higher or
der than that yesterday.
Samuel Wilkinson, the well known
Journalist, gave a very clear account
of an interview with Gen. Thomas
and the statements by the latter, on
two occasions, that he should call
on Gen. Grant for troops, and that
he did not see how Grant could re-
fuse them. The evidence was at
tentively listened to by all pres
ent.
The examination of the next wit
ness gave rise to continued and vio
lent laughter on all sides. Mr.
Karzner,, of Delaware, is one Of the
large farmers of that State-a Della
ware boy-as he termed himself,
though some 45 years old. He was
perfectly unconcerned, and appar
emily utterly ignorant that either his
style or words were in the least lu-
dicrous; but the account Of his Wis
it to the white house, his meeting
Gen. Thomas in the East Room,
telling him that the eyes of Della
ware were on him, and that Della
ware expected something of him,
and his relating it all afterward to a
man named Smith, whose first name
was not John but William, was drol
to the last degree. She Chief JUS
tice laughed till he shook. The
Senators held their sides and laugh
ed. 1'he galleries responded heart
lily, and in fact the whole audience
official and unoffi cial, filing the in
side of the chamber, shook till the
old comparison to a bowl of jelly
quite applicable to the audience as a
whole. It is safe to say there has
never been such general and long
continued laughter in the Senate
chamber before.
The Managers show better pre-
paration than the counsel for the de-
fense, and no point presents itself
which they do not to seem to have
foreseen. Gen Butler is forcing
himself into more and more general
favor every day, in spite of the pre-
judices which have been excited and
kept alive by his enemies. Counsel
for the President are greatly dissat-
isfed with the result of the days
work, and the Managers are proper
tionately elated.

The independent Farmer iF-- aisi
When first the rose in robe of green
Unfolds the crimson lining,
And round his cottage porch is seen
The honeysuckle tWining;
When banks of gloom their sweetness yieli
To bees that gather honey,
He drives the team across the field,
Where skies are soft and sunny.
The blackbird clucks behind the plow,
The quail pipes loud and clear,
Yon orchard hides behind its boughs
The home he loves SO dear;
The gray and old barn doors unfold
His ample store in measure,
More rich than heaps ofhorded gold, .-
precious, blessed treasure:
While yonder in the porch there stands
His wife, the lovely charmer,
The sweetest rose on all his ldndS-
The Independent Farmer.
To him the Spring comes dancingiy,
To him the Summer bushes.
The Autumn smiles with mellow ray,
His sleep old winter bushes.
He cares not how the world may move,
No doubts or fears confound him;
His little flock are linked in love,
And household angels round him;
He trusts in God and loves his wife,
Nor griefs nor ills may harm her;
He's Natures nobleman in life

She Wouldn't Marry a Mechanic.

--- ar -- : I
A young man commenced vfsi-
ting a young, woman, and appeared
to be well pleased. One evening ha
called when it was quite late. which
led the young lady to inquire where
he had been. e---Fe u vi edr
Il had to work tonight.
s'What! do you work for a 1iv-~I
ing?' she enquired- in astonish-@
ment. - 4 :
Certainly" replied the young
man, ssI am a mechanic . r.~.Frss
Il dislike the nameof a mechan-
ic," and she turned up her pretty
nose.
That was the last time the young
man visited that young woman. He
is now wealthy man, and has one
of the best women in the country
for wife
The lady who disliked the name
of a mechanic, is how the wife of
miserable fool-a regular vagrant
about grog shops-and the seftver-
dant, silly miserable girl,fis obliged
to take in washing in order to sup
port herself and children. a .s'i "a
You dislike the name of a mechan-
ic, oh ! You whose brothers are
but we'll dressed loafers We pity
any girl who has SO little brains,
who is SO verdant, SO soft, as to
think less of q young man for being
a mechanic-one of Gods nobleman
the most dignifed and honored
personages of heavens creatures.
Beware, young ladies, how you
treat young men who work for liv-
ing, for you may one day be menial
to one Of them yourself. a..
Far better discharge the well-fe
pauper with all his rings, jewelry,
brazeness and pomposity. and take
your affections of the callous han
ded, intelligent and industrious me-
chanic ~ ae.f"t- t :s..f.!
Thousands have bitterly regret
ted their folly who have turned their
backs to honesty. A few years have
taught them severe lesson.
