SANDWICH IsLANDs.-At the recent election
IN the Sandwich Islands for Legislative Repre-
sentatives. the laborers of kenala marched in
body to the polls, carrying the American flag
at their head. Such is the substance of a dis
patch from San Francisco. Those who have
watched the course of public sentiment there
have been struck with the growing desire for
annexation TO the United States among the peo-
pie of the Sandwich Islands. During the re-
bellion they afforded tangible proof of their
sympathy by sending several volunteers for
the Union armies. The purchase of Alaska
completion Of the Pacific Railroad, and the
opening OF trade in the Pacific, will greatly in

TIE IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS yesterday
are generally considered TO argue unfavorably
for Mr.. johnson. 1t Is probable that the coun-
sci for the President scarcely expected that
their request for forty days time for prepare
ton for trial would be granted, but they were
confident that from twenty to thirty days would
be allowed them, and visible shade Of disap-
pointment fell upon the eountenance OF Mr..
Stanbery when IL was reduced to ten. Under
the order adopted yesterday, the trial goes on
forthwith, sunless otherwise ordered" after the
replication Is made by the House to the Presi-
dents answer. Mr. Bingham (of the Managers)
in answer to a question as to the time the re-
phcstion of the Managers woul be filed, replied
that he had no doubt that 1t would be filed in
two or three days after the answ is fled So
we may expect the trial to formally commence
In about two weeks
