Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
FROM WASHINGTON,

The Impeachment TriaI-Preparations OF
Questions for Taking the Verdict-The
Lobby-Nr. Seward After More Posses
siOns.
WASHINGTON, May 7.--There is less ex-
element tonight upon impeachment than
was noticeable last night. Bets are not SO
freely offered for acquittal or conviction.
The status of Senators after the session this
afternoon does not appear to be different
from that viii ch was indicated in these dis
patches last night.
In the secre, session there was protrac-
ted debate upon the order of procedure for
next Monday and Tuesday, and especially
as to the form of question to be put to each
Senator and the answer thereto. At the
suggestion of Chief Justice Chase, the Sen
ate meets at 10 o'clock on Monday to delib-
crate upon these questions. which are to
be prepared by the Chief Justice.
The lobby or carpet-baggers continue
their pressure, and have been in anxious
waiting around the doors of the Senate to-
day. They report to Senators that unless
Mr.. johnson is removed Gen. Grant will
decline the nomination for President
What influence this intin idation has had
upon doubtful Senators is not observable.
It is reported that Secretary Seward Is
negotiating for the purchase OF Iceland and
Greenland.

Heart on the Right Side.

There is n young man attending college
in Albion, Michigan, whose heart is on the
right side. He has been examiped by
several of the most noted physicians OF
New York and Washington, who all agree
that such is the case. This is the second
case on record of the kind.
The post-mortcm examination of Rev.
Jason Whitman, brother-in-law of Ex-
Governor John Fairfield, of Maine, who
died at Portland, Maine, some years since,
Of pleurisy, disclosed that his heart was on
the right side. Perhaps his is the second
case referred to. MIR. Whitman was an
active and efficient clergyman beyond mid
die life, and the first secretary of the
American Unitarian Association. Few men
have worked harder or preached more than
he did

Bingham's speech.

1t is gratifying to us to learn that even
the Radicals estimate Bingham's demago
gulcal speech at its true value. A Washing
ton letter to the Baltimore Sun says
To say that Mr.. Bingham has disappoint
ed utterly The great expectations which had
been formed or him, would be slight in
dication of the real sentiment entertained
among his friends and associates here. A
Radical senator, when asked what he
thought of it so far, replied that " it was
the best speech he had heard yet-for the
President
Yesterday it was stated in this CORES.
pondence that there was an entire absence
of argument in his remarks, and the asser-
ton is more true of to-day than yesterday.
Mr.. Bingham lays down his premises, and
then, disdaining to reason therefrom, Jumps
at once to his conclusions, which he reite
rates over and over again with much sound
and fury, and then stigmatizes as idiots and
lunatics all who do not see exactly as he
sees. Both yesterday and to-day his ambi
ton has seemed to be to vie in invec
tive with Mr.. Butler, and it must be con
fessed that he is no mean rival in this line
to that courteous and high-toned gentle
man. With startling vehemence he calls
down the vengeance of men and angels
Oh AuuESW OOuuSOu, lOf WHO'LL III
aspersions are too vile, no denun
citation too bitter. Cracking the whip ove1
the heads of the Senators in true Thad
Stevens style, with gestures threatening
with eyes glaring, and finger menacing
he dares them to acquit that "monster o
all villainies." His rhetorical flights ar
so sudden and so numerous that alread,
they begin to pail on the ear, and he cal
no longer command the attention of eithe
floor or galleries.
Mr.. Evarts spoke four days, and not il
all that time did the intereat of one singl
Senator flag, and not whisper could b.
heard in the vast and crowded galleries.
To-day Senators all around Mr.. Bing
ham were reading books and papers, ant
the constant hum of voices was heard ii
the galleries. Mr.. Evarts, who has return
ed from New York, tried to be polite ant
give his ear to his opponent, but it was to-
much for him. Mr.. Bingham INDUCED il
fling at the length of the speech of tn
New York barrister, but his own will occu
by nearly as much time, although the on
was full of solid logic and genuine elo
quence, and the other is nothing but mer
froth Whether the fact that there is poy
panic among the impeachers, with o
without reason, vas the moving caus
which impelled Mr.. Bingham to lash him
self into such an unreasoning phrenzy can
not be said; but certain it is that some ez
cuse should be offered for the exhibition
| he made of himself.

tanned in the decision just rendered by

sons conviction and consequent depo-
sition, there must be an extra election in
December to fill up the remainder of Mr..
Johnson's term ?" He quotes the law of
March, 1892, which, he thinks, requires
this, and infers that Wade would be Presi-
dent till an extra election could be held,
after which would follow the regular elec-

following are the provisions Of the law OF

The Last Soldier of the Revelation

The last soldier of the Revolutionary war
is dead. The fact that all the heroic band
have passed away is settled beyond contro-
versy by little book entitled " History of
John Gray, of Mount Vernon, Va, the last
soldier of the Revolution" for d copy of
which we are indebted to the author, Mr.
J. NJ. Dazzell, himself soldier in the late
Union army. John Gray was born near
Mount Vernon, Va, January 9th, 1746 !;
and died at Hiramsburg, ohio, March 29th.

shaken hands with Washington and have

John Gray emigrated from Virginia shortly
after the Revolutionary war, TO the wilder
ness west of the Allegheny mountains; set

Execution of "a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF his
Guiit-Speech n ON the GaIIows.

HAvERHILL, MASS, May 6.--Samuel
Mills, for the brutal murder of an old man
named Maxwell, in Franconia, New Hamp-
shire, was hanged today. Rev. Mr.. Cowan
offered an impressive prayer. Mills, in the
meantime, looked through the vast assem-.
blage as If endeavoring to discover one
kind or familiar face, but evinced out
wardly no emotion whatever. At quarter
past ten the prayer was concluded, and the
Sheriff then informed Mills that he had
fifteen minutes to live, and conld say any
thing he pleased before he died. 81 do
not know as l have much to say, sir" said
he; then turning to the crowd he remarked:
Gentlemen, Samuel Mills is guilty of this
crime, and l think have made my peace
with God. Samuel Mills has acted like O
man, will die like man. If I have done
anything wrong L hope you will forgive
me-"
Here he closed temporarily, but after
the lapse of q minute continued. "Gentle-
men, tell all of the folks that Samuel Mills
says he is guilty of this crime, and he died
like mMn." AS the last minute was
passing away, the Sheriff advised the un-
fortunate criminal that he had one moro
opportunity of saying anything he desired
voice, "Good bye, gentlemen good luck
to you" The black cap was pulled over
his head, and the Sheriff remarked -
'' Samuel Mills, your time is up, and may
God have mercy on your soul" AS he
concluded, Mr. Stevens pulled the string
and the trap dropped. Mills, being
heavy man, fell distance of eight feet
with such velocity that his neck was
broken, and the only appearance of life in
his body afterwards were contractions of
the legs. After he had hung half an hour
life was pronounced extinct, and the body
was cut down.

Absurd Election Bet.

A correspondent at Manchester, n. H.,
writes under date Of May LIST as follows
Probably the most absured election bet
that was ever made in New Hampshire was
paid this morning. Mr. George Griffin, of
Auburn, agreed with A. c. Wallace. Esq,
of this city, to crawl from the Manchester
House to the City Hotel, distance of a
quarter of a mile, on condition that Cover
nor Hartman was reelected. If he failed
fin having the choice of time, appointed
Friday, May 1st, at 10 A. NJ. At an early
hour Elm street assumed an unusually live
ly appearance, and by 10 o'clock every
available window, balcony. and housetop,
was filed to witness this novel sight. So
many people were never known to assem-
BILE there before. Fourth of July process
sions. clrcusses, &c, were completely
eclipsed by the present crowd.
Messrs. Wallace and Griffin both had
rooms at the City" and previous to the
start, entertained their friends in happy
manner. At precisely 1870 the cornet
band appeared in front of the hotel. At the
same time Mr.. G.. came out to commence
his task. An elegant new barouche. drawn
by four dark chestnut horses, contained
his Excellency Ex-Governor Smyth with
Mr.. Wallace standing on the front seat
carrying s1lken Hag supported by the ro-
tund form of John B. Clark, who, all smiles,
appeared to enjoy it more than any one
else.
Following this was hack containing
friends of both parties. Mr.. Griffin is a
man about forty five years old, five feet ten
inches in height, with full whiskers was
dressed in white shirt, light pants, and
red sash worn over the shoulder. Wore
slippers on his feet with huge gauntlet
buck gloves on his hands. He was allow
ed to rest four or five times. The time oc-
cupied was little over half an hour. On
his arrival at the Manchester House, cheers
were given with a will for " the man who
honorably pays his debts" After this Mr..
Griffin was taken into the barouche and es
corted back to the hotel
