The Convention.

The Constitutional Convention Monday
determined to adjourn OH the 18th instant.
sine die, on n otion of Mr. Gambler, if all the
business be transacted at that time We
earnestly hope that the Convention will
hasten business. Much has been already
done, and the gaps between the reports of
the committees fast closed up. Not great
deal remains to be done. In order to expe-
dite business, we commend the following
resolution of Mr. Rich to the favorable con-
sideration of tile Convention:
WHEREAS, 1t is of the utmost importance
that this Convention, in view of this State
being represented as State in the coming
Chicago Convention, should as speedily as
possible finish its work and submit the Con-
stitution to be framed by it to the people
tor ratification or rejection:
Now therefore be 1t Resolred, That Com
mittee of two from each Congressional dis
trict be appointed by the President, whose
duty it shall be, after Thursday, 9th day of
March, to recommend all bills, ordinances,
and constitutional articles, which should, in
the opinion of the committee, be acted on
by the Convention, and that no other bills,
ordinances or constitutional articles shall be
acted on, but those recommended by the
committee appointed in pursuance hereof
The question of homesteads was postpon-
ed until Thursday next.
The report of the Committee on Corpora
tions, sections 1, 2, 8 and were adopted as
whole.

THE IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDING.

There are those in position to obtain authen-
tic Information who hold that the impeachment
measure will be sustained in the Senate with
equal unanimity as in the House. But such opin-
ions must be taken with allowance for the heat
and ardor of the situation. Agood deal depends
on the character of the articles of Impeachment.
verdict of guilty can be more certainly counted
upon on lu!l review of the Presidents official
conduct, beginning with his great original mis-.
deneanor, than ii the prosecution proceeds on
ms last oHehse merely; but the proceeding against
MIN on single count is advocated with q view of
making the trial short. We believe il would be
better 10 make it sure. Many still hold that the
true way OF proceeding is for Congress to arrest
the President, suspend his functions, and try
him for all his high erim-s and misdemeanors nj
leisure. II seems an inadequate treatment of so
important subject to slur il over BY trial on
singleissue and that, except in its animus. n
comparatively unimportant one; and it NAV prove
laiai mistake But in view of such advice as
was WA, gwen III the House on Monday by Judge
woodward of Pennsylvania, it may prove a still
more positive error if Congress does not put all
such revolutionary suggestions as his under their

fight and give instant tranquility to the country
whatever asrect the impeachment trial mpht as,

great and vital proceeding like this should he
treated in broad and statesmanli.e manner. and
we may hope it will be. There should be, dur
ing the proceedings at least, no room left for
DOUBT whether it was the criminal or the judges
who were on trial. II Congress deals with the
preiiminaries OF this great proceeding properly,
as We must presume it will, its results cannot b5
