that the impeachment Juror is artificial
Replying to the Missouri delegation, Senator
Henderson appears to have said, that convictioa
would have failed without, and cOu.d not la We
been secured with hissotc. In his opinion, the

"There is lull in the impeachment excite
ment PARTLY from the impression that the ques

Some of the Managers favor postponement
while others it is known are in favor of disposing
for once and for all question that is now only
serving to weaken, to distract the Republican
party.
Some leading Republicans believe that ii will
be policy to get wholly rid of the impeachment
canvass, and to move on to fresh field and pas
lures new, where all training under the Repub-
lican standard can rally on common issue.
The House proceeded with the regular order
Mr. Wilson was proceeding to explain private
bill, when Mr. Woodward the author of the reso-
luton censurng the Missouri delegation, desired
to know what the gentlemen from Missouri (Mr
Pike who was near him) meant by dstorting his
face. He was not accustomed to being talked to
in grimaces and cabalstic signs.
The Speaker raped the House to order and
asked for what purpose the gentlemen from
Pennsylvania rose.
If it was question of order the gentlemen
from Iowa could be taken off the floor but not
otherwise.
Mr. Woodward desired to know what the signs
and facial contortions of the gentlemen from
Missouri (Mr. Pike meant.
The manner in which they were made was
more BETTING the five points than this Hail.
The Speaker reminded Mr.. Woodward that the
last remark was not in order.
Mr.. Woodward resuming, said:
"The gentleman had come towards him max
ing cabalistic signs of thi style. Putting his
thumb towards his nose and gyrating his fingers,
and he could not understand that language"
