The High Court of Impeachment.

The High Court of Impeachment has
adjourned till Saturday, on the conve-
nient pretext of Senator'S illness. Adj
iournment in the circumstances, means
that the Radicals dare not encounter the
final trial 1t means defeat. For some
days the case has been desperate indeed
with those prominent in the lead of this
atrocious conspiracy. They had ceased
in the effort to disguise their purpose /;
they had given up the endeavor to APP
pear just; and their open defiance OF all
law in the trial had caused the revolt
against them of the decent men in the
Senate. Thereupon they began ruff
fianly assault on all who might vote
against them. 1t was held that these
men must be driven into the traces one
wsy or another, and for two reasons (:
First, because without theiA it was not
absolutely certain there would be the
requisite number of votes; second, be
cause, even il carried, il would not do TO
let it be seen that impeachment had re-
corded against it the vote Of every Re-
publican of known integrity and high
ability in the United States Senate.

ful, in spite Of the treachery of a few Re
publican Senators. The vote is postponed
until Saturday, on account Of the sick
ness of Senator Howard. We shall on
that day have thirty six votes for convic'
ton, aud that secures its success. There
is q tremendous excitement at the CAPT
tai, more intense than that which pre-
vailed at the time Of the adoption of the
inpeachment resolutions in the House.

The Excitement.

The rush of news and men from the
Capitol to the White House, on the result
of the impeachment being ascertained
was ludicrous enough, and by the Gin
cinnati Commercial is thus painted,
without much burlesque:
II is astonishing how small things be-
come great, how trifes assume import.
ance, in tremendous historical crisis. II
is thought worth while to assure us that
the horses which whirled Messrs. Nelson
and Stanbery over the intervening mile
of ground were wet with foam and ridged
with lashes. If those horses are not
honored in some such special manner as
the Roman Emperor honored his favor
ite steed, by. making it consul, then
ingratitude must be imputed to Andrew
Johnson as not the last of his bad quail
ties
Nelson was under even greater strain
than horse-Hesh had been subjected to.
He was covered with foam, and there
were no welts and ridges visible, at least,
upon his person, but perspration ran
from every pore" AID there was momen-
tary danger of dissolution, with nothing
left but soggy boots, steaming pantaloons
and wilted hat to testify that " once
there was man." Fortunately, the free
use Of his bandanna and the cool air,
rushing in a high state of agitation
through the passages aud halls of the
White House, prevented catastrophe to
which the case of spontaneous combus
tion in Jacob Faithful " would not have
been a circumstance Mr.. Nelson, the
perspiration running from not more than
half million pores, hastened up the
stairway into the hall fronting the Presi-
dents room, using his lame leg with in
tense energy, dragging the debilitated
Mr.. Stanbery after him. Our indefati-
gable followed them closely" and when
the door was opened to admit them, saw
the President actually opening the tele-
gram which announced his acquittal, and
heard the loud voice of Mr.. Nelson pro-
nouncing the memorable and ever after
to be historical words, well, thank
God, Mr.. President, you are free again !"
The door closed, and with it the oppor-
tunity of presenting to posterity a
graphic, historical picture of what took
place within the four walls that shut in
Andrew johnson and his two friends and
advisers. The Imagination is left free to
conjecture what took place, and it will
be mentally sketched according to each
readers preconceived ideas of the men
and his familiarity with events behind
the scenes. Whether Andrew produced
Bible or bottle, sang Te Deum or
took drink, ran his fingers through
Nelson's hair or put his own affection
ately about Stanbery's neck, a Ia STAN
ton-the subject is so suggestive that it
were pity to spoil it by any attempt TO
fix the incidents. AS, however, when
our correspondent was admitted, there
was a sly allusion TO the Secretary Of
War, and laughter in which the Prssi-
dent himself Joined, we may fairly con
clude that "loathed melancholy" was
not entertained by the President on that
day.

The Chicago Tribune, q sensible Radi'
cal paper, pleads thus against denounc-
ing the seven Senators:
The convention has graver duties to
attend to than the punishment of Sena-
tors who are not responsible TO i, but
obly their own constituents. IL has TO
present a national platform and national
candidates to the people to be voted for
in November. Lyman Trumbull is a
Senator Of Illinois. IL he has committed
breach Of faith or duty, his ofense is
against the people Of Illinois. he is
responsible to them, and TO them alone.
To take him out Of the hands Of his con-
stituents would be an act OF imperti-
nence. Ifthe National Convention can.
not trust this State with the duty OF
holding Senator Trumbull to his respon-
siblity, and Of melting out justice to him,
the convention must fear that there is
some doubt as to what the State will do
with him at the proper time and place.
Is il best that the convention should
betray such fearf
Cannot the people Of Maine be trusted
with the duty of punishing Mr.. Fessen-
den for any dereliction Of duty he may
have committed Do these hot heads
want the Chicago Convention to attach
to the nomination of Grant an anti
Fessenden fight in Maine, an anti Grimes
fight in Iowa, an anti Henderson fight
in Missouri, an anti-Trumbull fight in
IlIinoisf Will Gen. Grant thank them
for piing this fight upon him7 Is the
Chicago Convention to exclude Fessen-
den and all of Fessenden's friends from
the Republican party in Maine and is it
to do the same in each of the other six
States represented by these seven Sena-
tors2 In what part of the " call T" do the
delegates find authority for such pro-
ceeding2
We insist that these Senators shall be
tried by their own constituents, to whom
alone they are responsible. Any inter-
ference between the representative and
bis constituents would be an act of gra-
tuitous folly and impertinence that could
have no good results.

Chicago Items.

The Chicago Methodist Conference has
been enlisted against Ben. Wade for Vice
President-on the ground of profanity,
/ Banner Of Lightreadng, spirit rapping,
etc. The Conference is for Colfax.
1t is reported for effect against Chase
that he has expressed himself willing TO
accept the Democratic nomination.
A larger part of the Conventionists at
Chicago have taken up at shanties about
town, to save first-class hotel bills and
find congenial company. The negro
members and carpet-baggers from South
Carolina and elsewhere have brought
tents and cooking u nsls, calculating o n
hundred days, a Ia menagerie. Sixty
FIVE colored delegates arrived or on the
way.
The impeachment puts the Conven-
TONERS in quandaiy, and opinions are
divided as to what to do. Too much
feeling to ignore easily. The Radical
element wants a full Endorsement OF
Congress, and will be satisfied with
nothing less. They are in a tangle
about the currency questionable East
for gold, the West for greenbacks. A free
drinking saloon has been opened for
Wades benefit. The Rhode Islanders
have another for Sprague.
Gen. Sickles says that treason had
done its best to destroy the Republican
party, but would only destroy the
traitors. Opinions arc divided as to
reading them out of the party Never
was such motley and incongruous
assemblage convened on the continent
And if they do not dozen foolish things,
which will hang like millstones on their
uecks, we shall be quite surprised They
are agreed as to no principle, while the
Dem ocratic Convention will be agreed as
to all, and will have only its candidates
to select from among those OF its prin-
ciples, and with reference to availability.
