WASHINGTON, March "a, 1858
Little interest attached to the proceedings Of the
Court of Impeachment to-day. The galleries wero
not so full as on previous days of the trial Juss
before the Court met Mr. Sherman introduced reso'
luton for the repeal of the ticket system This reso'
luton was introduced principally on account OF the
inconvenience to Senators arising from the inpoftu-
nate appeals for tickets Ii is doubtful whether the
Senate will agree to it, for il is felt that TO open the
doors to all alike would be to fill the galleries with
crowd that might make demonstrations OF approval
or disapproval and, perhaps, create disturbance
during the trial. The Chief7Justice took the
chair at the usual hour, the House Managers
entered as usual, followed by the members
of the House. Proclamation was made by
the Sergeant-at-Arms, and yesterdays Journal was
read. ALI this was monotonOus-it had been wit
messed so many times before. The proceedings Of
the Court so far as the public were allowed to wit
ness, were very brief 1t took Mr. Boutwell, but q
few minutes to read the replication Of the Managers
and then the question arising out Of the request OF
the Presidents Managers for more time came up. IL
was pending yesterday when the Court adjourned on
a motion of Reverdy johnson TO grant ten days
This morning Mr.. Sumner moved as an amendment
proposition that the trial proceed forthwith. Then
Mr.. Edmunds rose and moved that the Senate retire
for consultation "No, no, no." said Messrs. Conk-
ling, Sumner, and few Others and the Yeas and
Nays were demanded by Mr. COnkling. The motion
was carried-29 TO 23-and the Senate retired atli
O'clock and after two hours consultation returned,
having agreed upon resolution that the trial pro-
ceed on Monday next at o'clock. The court then
adjourned. While the Senators were in secret ses-
sion the people in the galleries generally kept their
