IMPEACHMENT.

In the High Court yesterday the galleries were
crowded to excess. Nearly all the members OF the
House were present. and all the Managers and coun-
sci for the President.
On the opening OF the court Mr. Williams moved
to take up his order to read the eleventh article rs
which was adopted. Mr.. Fessenden then proposed
adjournment of half hour to await the arrival
OF Mr. Grimes, but 1t discovered that Mr.. Grimes
was present.
The Secretary of the Senate then, by direction Of
the Chief Justice read the eleventh article and the
Chief Justice arising In his place, put the question
to each Senator. The vote In the end stood 35 for
conviction and 10 for acquita one being wanted for
two-thirds vote for conviction. Anthony and
Sprague OF Rhode Island who were considered
doubtful, voted for conviction, and Ross, Fowler
and Van Wrinkle voted for acquittal. Senator Wade,
the Vice President pro tena. voted guilty.
On the result being stated motion to adjourn to
Tuesday, the 25th inst, was Immediately made by
radical member. The Chief Justice ruled 1t out of
order, but his decision was Overruled by vote of
"a to 20. Mr. McCreery moved as an amendment
that the High Court adjourn without day, but 1t was
lost by q vote OF Al to g. Mr.. Buckaew moved to
make the day Monday next, but 1t was lost and the
original motion was then put and carried by a vote
Of 80 to %. So the High Court Of Impeachment ad-
journed until the 26th inst
result, which they argue will be the the other
articles The radicals although greatly depressed
are not entirely without hope, as they say two
third vote on any one article of the ten yet to be
voted upon will convict and remove as completely
as on all Of them. The excitement in this city and
throughout the country was very great.
On resuming legislative business i'm the Senate the
Judiciary Committee reported bill for the admis
sion Of Arkansas. Mr.. Hendricks asked leave to make
O minority report. The question then recurred
on concurring with the House on an ad-
journment until the 25th inst. Mr.. Hendricks
favored II, and said the republicans need have
fear that the democrats will ask similar adjourn
ment when the New York Convention meets. Mr..
Sumner favored it for the reason that he did not
wish the Senate to have any communication with
the President while Judgment was pending. Several
Senators opposed q recess because they wanted
to pass the Arkansas bill and receive another defiant
veto from the President before the final vote on i'm
peachment is taken. Mr.. Henderson said as long as
the President was not convicted it would not injure
them to send a bill to him. He then adverted to his
cause on the trial. and some sharp words ensued
with his colleague, Mr.. Drake. The concurrent reso-
luton was finally rejected by a vote Of "a to 25.
In the House, after the return from the Senate
chamber resolution was offered by Mr. Eldridge
providing for an investigation into the alleged
attempts Of Missouri members to influence the vote
OF Senator Henderson. 1t was decided first by
the Speaker and then by the House that 1t
was not question OF privilege. Mr.. Benja-
min, OF Missouri, said that the delegation
desired an investigation. Mr.. Bingham, from the
Impeachment Managers reported a resolution d.
recting them TO investigate for the more efncient
prosecution OF the impeachment, the charges Of
corrupt means being used to influence the votes OF
Senators. Mr.. Ross objected the ground that the
House had no right to try Senators, and
Mr.. Robinson objected on the ground that the
case had been submitted to the court aud
the Managers could not be further heard. Both
points OF order were overrued. The House resolved
to consider the resolution by strict party VOTE Mr..
Bingham then stated thst the Managers at the close
of their testimony had reserved the night to present
additional evidence and, II necessary, additional
articles. Another "fence making" scene occurred
and another resolution was adopted.
