A good story is told Of one Of the baggage

oes,er and Boston, a fat, good uatured droll
fellow. whose bikes have become quite popular
en- the road. His name is Bill. A few morn
ings since, while in the performance Of his du-
ties In changing baggage, an ugly little Scotch
terrier got in his way, and he gave him a
smart Kick which sent him over the track.

in high dudgeon, wanting to know why he
kicked the dog
"Was that your dog?' asked Bill, with his
usual drawl
Certainly it was, what right have you TO

No, he's not mad, either" said the owner.

To.DAY AT THE CAPITAI..

To-day will be an anxious one throughN
out the country. Whether the impeach-
ment court renders its verdict or not,
or whatever itmay be If given, the pro-
ceedings will possess a farreaching i'm
portance A postponement will prove
that the Radical majority are afraid to
risk the issue where the Constitution has
placed it, and that party interests at
Chicago are the first objects Of their So
licitude. A conviction will be calamity
to the country, aud an acquittal will be a
calamity to the Radical party. We in~
cline, however, to the opinion that the de-
cision win be deferred, and that thepeople
will be CONDEMNED to farther suspense,
The latest intelligence from Washing
ton, if anything from that seething Gals
dron Of passion can be so described, repre-.
sents the situation as but little changed.
The impeaehers have received nothing
to relieve them OF the gloom which Mona

friends of the President exhibit grow

not venture an opinion, though we regard

articles will be voted down 1t will be
observed that each Senator is required
to give two votes on each article, first, as
to the guilt of the President, and Sc

tant charges he viii probably be acquit~

HOW THE TRIAL or THE PRRsI-
DENT IL REGARDED IN EUROPE.

A correspondent of New York paper,
writing-from London on April 18th, thus
distinctly sets forth the spirit with which
our political struggle is regarded in Eng
land. That its result, upon public opinion,
is earnestly set forth, must be evident to
every sane man;
II is impossible to over-estimate the in
terest with which the Impeachment trial il
regarded in this country. The scraps Of
information doled out to the public BY
kilograms are peFused with intense curl
osity, and now we are daily expecting to
learn the result Of this great histori-
cal prosecution. L express the opinion
Of large majority Of the English PEG
pie when state that the acquiltal Of
President johnson would be hailed with
profound Joy and would qustruple the all
miratiOn entertained for the American re-
public, and that his conviction would be
considered triumph of ignoble partisan
persecution over an innocent and we'll
meaning man. Nothing could do more TO
strengthen the mOnarchical system and 10
weaken the popular impulses towards re-
publicanism than the Presidents removal
from office nothing could 80 inspirit the
popular leaders and excite the enthusiasm
Of the English masses "a the spectacle Of
the Senate Of a free republic, rising above
all partisan preiudices and passions, and
acquitling the President upon the evidence,
even against the schemes and interests OF
party managers. trust that the telegraph
may soon bring US news Of the acqmttal,
knowing how grand will be the moral effect
in Europe; bat it ia useless TO disguise the
fact that all Americans abroad, understand
ing fully the force OF political discipline in
their own country, unanimously anticipate
the Presidents conviction.

CHICAGO, May IS. In Conference,
Bishop Simpson offered the following,
which was unanimously adopted: .-".
Whereas, there Is now pending in The
Senate the most important question which
ever engaged attentions and whereas, the
evidence and pleadings in this case have
fully opened before the people, so that all
may form an enlightened opinion and
whereas, we are deeply impressed that
upon It's rightful decision will largely de-
pend the safety and prosperity Of the ma
tion, as we'll az the religious privileges Of
our ministers and members in many parts
Of the South and whereas, painful rnmOrs
are in circulation that partly by unworthy
jealousies and partly by corrupt inf uenees,
pecuniary and otherwise, most actively EN-
ployed efforts have been made TO influence
Senators improperly, and prevent them
performing their high duty therefore,
Resolved, That we appoint from to 10
a. NJ. tomorrow to invoke the mercy Of
God upon orr nation, and to beseech him
TO save our Senator's from errors and 20
called Influences, that their decision shall
be in truth and righteousness, and shall Sc
cure the security and prosperity Of our be-
loved Union.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Mr. Woodward
offered a resolution to appoint a committee
to investigate the facts relative to the Mis-
souri, delegation sending letter to Mr..
Henderson, but the Speaker ruled that il
was a question of privilege.
The consideration Of the bill for the re-
lief of VIM. McGorran, reported last Satur-
day from the Judiciary Committee, which
confirms his title 10 1900 acres of land in
California, embracing the New Idea Quick
silver mine. The bill was explained and
advocated by Mr.. Wilson, of Iowa, as
chairman of the Judiciary Committee, who
said that in the committee there was but
| one dissenting voice, that of Mr.. Boutwell,,
who stated the grounds on,which he had
opposed the bill in committee, and on
which he thought it should be defeated in
the House. The bill passed by a vote of
| IS to 40.
The Speaker presented a communication
from the General of the army, with reports

result of the elections ia Georgia, North

Referred to the Committee on Reconstruc-
ton. ....
Mr.. Lawrence, of Ohio, from the Judi

fish department of law, which was or
dered to be printed and recommitted.
The House went into Committee Of the
Whole on the state of the Union, Mr..
Lawrence, of Ohio, in the chair, with the
understanding that no further business
would be done to-day.
The Speaker notified the House that it
was possible the attendance of the House
might be desired at the bar of the Senate at
| u o'clock tomorrow.
Mr.. Garfield delivered an elaborate and
prepared speech on the financial question,
concluding as follows:
For my part, my course is taken in view
Of all the facts of our situation, of all the
terrible experience of the past, both at
home and abroad, and of the united testi-
timony of the wisest and bravest states
men who have lived and labored during
the last century, it is my conviction that
| any considerable increase of volume Of our
incontrovertible paper money will shatter
public credit, paralyze industry and OPP
press the poor, and that the gradual restOr-
alton of our ancient standard of value will
lead us by the safest and surest path to ma
tional prosperity and the steady pursuits OF
peace.

"a LAwYER" has inquired of the
Knoxville Wing why the decisions of
the Supreme Court are not published in
that paper. The "Senior Editor" and
ostensible Governor replies that the
Legislature Of 1865 designated his as
one of the papers in which the laws and
the decisions of the Supreme Court
should be published, but that neither the
acts nor the decisions are furnished "by
the State Department" or the Clerk of
the Supreme Court; and he adds that he
is "too proud spirited and Independent to
beg secretaries and clerks for any such
patronage" The Knoxville Press and
Herald makes a fair hit upon this
twaddle when it says:
at is little singular that the Senior
Editor of the Knoxville Wing, acting in
his capacity of Governor, was not toe
proud spirited and independent TO nom
mate his own paper to do the legal adver-
