WASHINGTON, April 80, 1865.
For the past few days the impeachment trial has
been really interesting. In the mornings some lively
order resolution has been introduced and by this
preliminary species OF eXhilaraton the great speech

Groesbeck's, will go down to pOsterty-is ready to

scarcely retain hold so long the attention OF so
large and critical an audience unless the force and
terseness of his remarks were more than usually

considerable majority Of the Senators seemed
rather pleased at tie ncendiary WORK OF Mr. Evars.
