The proceedings of Congress on Monday,
in view Of the proposed impeachment 81
President johnson, were highly interesting
At l2a o'clock Mr.. Mcpherson. the clerk
OF the House, appeared at the door of the
Senate, and announced that the House
had passed resolution to impeach the
President of the United States for bigb
crime and misdemenors. Soon after
Messrs. Stevens and Bingham, a committee
Of the House, appeared at the bar of the
Senate, and announced that the House of
Representatives had adopted resolution
proposing the impeachment of the presi-
dent, and would. in due time, exhibit
particulars Of said impeachment, &c. The
Senate thereupon adopted resolution to
appoint select committee of seven n
consider the subject, and to report thereon.
Messrs. Howard, Trumbuli, Conklinp
Edmunds, Morton, Pomeroy and johnson
were appointed the committee. e
In the House, a resolution was adopted
changing the rule of the House so az 10
limit the debate of each member to fifteen
minutes when articles of impeachment of
tne President are reported. This was
done to expedite the work of impeacb-
ment; The impeachment committee oh
tained leave to sit dning the session of the
