/ the right was reserved to the Managers tc
appeal to the court itself when they de.
sired to do so. Mr.. Boutwell, concluded
by quoting from Lord Erskine, who, in the
trial of Lord Melville, when a case was
submitted to him, put the question di.
rectly to the court, telling them that they
should decide the question, but that
otherwise he had formed an opinion, and
would announce it; indicating clearly that
he believed it was his first duty to submit
the question. to the court, and only to DE-
eide it with their consent.
| Mr.. Bingham quoted some additional
English authorities in support of the posi-.
tion taken by the Managers.
Mr., Butler, in answer to the question
propounded by Senator Sherman, quoted
| from the report of the impeachment OF
Judge Chase to show that the President of
the Senate put the question directly to the
court.
Mr.. Evarts said he had but word
to say, not so much with reference to any
thing that might influence the judgment of
| the Senate upon the question, but in re-
ply to the intimation Of Mr.. Boutwell, as
| to the reservation of certain rights by the
Managers. If q rule was to be made at all
to govern these questions, it must be made
applicable to all alike, and the counsel for
the President would claim all the privi-
leges that should accrue to the House Man
ayers.
The question was then taken by yeas and
nays upon Mr.. Wilson's motion to retire
for consultation, and with the following
result:
YEAs.-Messrs. Anthony, Buckalew, Cole,
Conness, Corbitt, Davis, Dixon, Edmunds,
Fowler, Grimes, Hendricks, Howe, Johnson,

mont, Morton, Norton, Patterson Of New

Conklin, Cragin, Doolittle Drake, Ferry,
Fessenden, Frelinghu ysen, Henderson, How
ard, Morgan, Nye, Ramsay, Salisbury, Sher-
Upton, Trnmbull, Van Winkle, and Wiley
Is.
There being tie vote, the Chief Justice
voted In the affirmative, and the Senate
at 3 O'Clock retired for consultation.
At 6.20 P. NJ. the Senate returned to
its chamber.
The Chief Justice announced that the
Senate had under consideration the ques-
ton which was discussed before it retired, >,
and had directed the Chief Justice to re-
port the 7th rule as modified.
The secretary then read the 7th rule es
modified, giving to the presiding officer
the power to rule all questions of evidence
unless some member of the Senate should
ask formal decision thereon.
Mr.. Butler then said the Managers
would like to retire for consultation.
Senator Trumbull: Unless the Mana
gers desire that we shall continue in ses-
sion, will make motion for the adjourn
ment of the court.
Senator Williams moved for the printing
of the 7th rule as modified, which was
agreed to.
The Managers intimating no desire for a
further session, Senator Trumbull renewed
his motion, and the Senate sitting as a
court Of impeachment adjourned.

The CASE OF Mr.. E. D. HICKs.-It
will be remembered that on the 25th OF
last month Mr.. Edward D. Hicks was sum-
moned before United States Commissioner
Chahoon by Lieutenant Fl. S. Merrill to see
if he (Hicks) was entitled to moiety OF
some tobacco seized in violation of the in
ternal revenue laws, and which Hicks
claimed was only gotten possession Of
from his information. At that time the
dispositions of a number of witnesses were
taken for the purpose of impeaching the
character of Mr.. Hicks. 1t was stated II
those dispositions that Mr.. Hicks's charac-
ter was rather disreputable.
Yesterday Hicks appeared for trial De-
fore the Commissioner. Four witnesses
were examined. One of them, DR.. Coax
lev, stated that he knew Hicks; that hit
general character was such that he would
not believe him on oath; that he knew
that he had testified to wilfpl falsehood
The other three witnesses-Messrs
George W. Willis, William j. Epps, anc
James c. McCarthy-testifed that they
knew Mr.. Hicks that he stood we'll in the
community; that he was an honest, up
right man; and that he was to be believed
with or without an oath.
The case will come up again to-day.

THE MANCHESTER SHOOTING AFFAIR
THE CASE CONTINUED UNTIL NEXT WE'D
NEsDAY-MR. HowLE BAILED IN THE Sun
OF FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO APPEAR
Yesterday Mr.. Emmett B. Howle was ar
raigned before Mr.. Morgan, the presiding
Justice, on the charge Of shooting Mr.. A.
A. Jinks, at Mr.. Moody's store, on Mon
day last.
Mr.. Clark, in behalf of the Common
wealth, asked that the case be continued
until Mr.. Jinks could appear, as he was
the most material witness.
Captain Clopton, in behalfrof Mr.. Howle,
said that this affair occurred in the pre-
sence of twelve men, who they would bring
in behalf of the prisoner, and they thought
if any one should be prosecuted it should
be Mr.. Jinks for making murderous as
sault on Mr.. e., but they did not intend to
prosecute Mr.. Jinks at this time. And as
the evidence of Mr.. J. could not alter the
case in the least, he thought the re-
suit of the trial and evidence would be
such that they would ask for the imme-
diste discharge of their client.
Mr.. Ambers, also in behalf of the Com
monwealth, contended that this case
should be continued, so rs to let Mr.. Jinks
be heard, and assured the counsel in be-
half of the accused that if the evidence
was to show that the shooting was in self
defence he would ask his worship to dis
charge him without their making speech,
but he thought the case should be CONT
nued, in justice to the Commonwealth.
Mr.. Talley, also in behalf of the accused,
contended that the case should be heard
to-day, and quoted the case Of Bargamin
for shooting Meyer.
DR., McRae was called in, and stated
that he did not think Jinks would be able
to appear in less than ten days.
Dr.. Chiles was sworn, and said that Jinks
could not possibly appear in less than ten
days, and he did not think he could come
in less than two weeks, and thought 1t
it would be dangerous for him to come out
then.
In consideration of the evidence of Drs.
McRae and Chiles, the court continued
the case until next Wednesday, and grant
ed Mr.. Howle bail in the sum of $500, with
Mr.. Richard Totty, of Chesterfield, as Sc
curity.
The witnesses were also called, and re-
cognized to appear.
The case of the Commonwealth Us. Il.
B. Howle for beating 81. G. jerks was
tried before Justice Gentry Immediately
after the above case, and the accused
bailed to appear at the grand Jury term oi
the county court in June. This is the diff
ficulty from which the shooting affair
originated.
