THE PRESS AND THE NEWS.

1t must be confessed that enterprise In the
gathering and publication OF the latest news by
the journals Of the country is to be commended.
But 1t not unfrequently happens, especially In
times like these. that what is given to the public
as news is no news at all; and often the publica-
tion OF unfounded rumors have no other effect
than TO keep alive undue excitement In the com
mupity, which tends only to mischievous ends.
Ithas been declared about the hotels and pub
lie places of resort in the city that eight Senators
belonging to the dominant party will vote against
Impeachment, and this statement has been tele-
graphcd to the Northern papers, and will doubt
less, for time, mislead many people. Now, we
do not say that this is not so; but we do say that
whether there be eight Senators or eighteen Scna-
tors who will cast their votes agAinst the articles
of Impeachment after the testimony and argu-
ments for and against impeachment shall have
been fully presented before the high court of the
nation nobody knows, and we emphatically af
arm nobody can know anything about how q
single member of that body will vote. To be
sure, we can guess, we can conjecture, we can
speculate. We can talk Of this and that Sena-
tors political antecedents, and infer what we
please from such premises, but has any Senator
made public what his vote will be on this grave
question: We think not.
When the Senate of the United States shall
have, in conformity with the Constitution, re.
solved itself into the high tribunal, with the
Chief Justice presiding, which the Constitution
rscognzesit to be, when called upon to sit judg
ment upon the conduct OF the Chief Magistrate Of
this great nation then ceases to be legislative
body. 1t Is no longer forum for political dis.
cussion, but grave, dignifed, and solemn court,
whose duty 1t is to weigh testimony, to consider
constitutional. and legal arguments, and to
give its decisions, not like town meeting, or a
political caucus. The Court will have before 1t
the ten articles of the House. or grand Jury inn

Pedcstrianism Under Difficulties.

Itwas fearful time for all who had to be
abroad last night. A form Of sleet and rain
with fearfully slippery sidewalks ruled the
hours and to add to the troubles which all pedes.
trians had to contend against, was the shameful
and inexcusable neglect OF our national and
municipal rulers in leaving the city in state OF
utter darkness. We cannot find language to
characterize In fitting terms the nigdrdiy and
icieked policy which dooms the denizens OF the
national capital to suffer these things, while vast
sums OF money are squandered upon objects, and
for purposes that are comparatively Of trining
account.

The reception was attended by Senators, Repre-

intellect and fashion. These receptions are very
popular, and are invariably attended by the most
distinguished personages in our midst. The re-
