In the neighdoihood Of Atlanta, on FRI
day, a difficulty occurred between James
Ballard and Wash. Carter, 10 which the lat
ter was shot dead.
At Chattanooga, on Friday, George Charles
was drowned while endeavoring to crossl
Lookout creek. ~
1t Is extremely doubtful If the Democrats
and Oonservaties Of this Stats will shter in.
TO the coming Presidential campaign. With
the great mass of the whites DISTINGUISHED
and Browniow having full control of regis
tration aud his militia to intimidate and shoot
down Conservative voters, Il Is correctly
judged that the opposition could not enter
into the canvass with any show Of success.
From information received l,efe II Is pref
ty certain thatthe robbers OF the Rassellville
Bank were some Of the convicts recently re.
leased from the penitentiary by Brovnlow.
WASHINGTON, March Alt is manifest
that public interest in impeachment Is rap
pidly declining. The galleries by no means
crowded, aud in short time Senators will
have more tickets than applications for them.
Before the grand performance commenced.
the Senate acted on and passed Edmunds'
bill about returning acts passed by Congress.
1t requires bin to be returned 10 the clerk
of the House or secretary of the Senate, and
not to the House in which il originated,
which is the language of the Constitution
Morton. of Indiana, made manly and
eloquent appeal against This OUTRAGE on The
Constitution, but without avail. : l.i 81
Next came impeachment. The Senate he
lug transformed into court, the replication
OF the managers, which was precisely what
Butler yesterday stated il would be. was
filed. II merely rcasserts the Presidents
guilt, and the trial win therefore proceed
under general issue. :. s-lf, y y.
Reverdy Johnson's motion to grant ten
days time was amended by Sumner--that
the trial proceed forthwith--but it was de-
cided to consider the proposition in secret
session. johnson then said q reasonable
time ought to be granted--that Q regard for
appearance of justice demanded that much
from the court. Most of the Senators par
ticipatsd in the debate which followed.
Sumner clamored for blood, insisting that
no time should be given. No, said SKINNER,
cry, and appealed to his friends.
After long discussion it became apparent
that Sumner 4 Co. could not force the trial
through at railroad speed, and Conkling,
Radical, proposed Monday next as COM
promise, which was carried by four majority.

publicans, w: Anthony, Corbett Edmunds,
