TIE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.

w.sumoros, April 20.-The rain
diminished the attendance ut the trial TO-
day. The diplomatic gallery was empty,
Lieut.. Gen. Sherman, who, according
TO newspaper reports, was hall way 70
| Fort Laramie, was again present to-day
having been notified he might be re-
CURED TO appear rs witness.
The proceedings were unintereslrg,
the evidence offered 6eing merely supple
meutary, and when the trial came 10 an a.,
abrupt close by an adjournment until
"wednesday, no little disappointment was
expressed by the ticket holders who had
gone TO much trouble to get their paste

course, are oil honest l.
Washburn, who is to get mission
when Grant is President, also intimated
that Johnson's conviction was worth
one hundred millions in saving the lives
of loyal men of the South, but he had to
condescend to explain how each Life was
10 he valued. He finally concluded with
a Grand peroration on the removal OF the
tyrant ana usurper johnson, which was
applauded by the galleries.
Banks bill concerning the rights OF
American citizens abroad, passed the
House, but will be so emasculated in the
Senate, as to render its provisions nuga,,
tory. The Radicals hate foreigners, and
even this bill originally excluded from
its benefits persons who had deserted
from the European armies. BY the
earnest effort Of General Morgan, that
provision was stricken out.

is understood that the conservative
Republican Senators will make an effort
before the final vote to induce the i'm

and acquit johnson by large majority
holding that this show Of magnanimity
would conciliate the whole country, and
rebound more to the success Of their
party than can his conviction. 1t will

The Railroad tumble.

The Nashville and Northwestern rail-
road tumble is becoming every day more
and more complicated, and unless there
he prompt action somewhere soon, the
road is doomed. Yesterday nearly all
the employees threw up their situations,
and refused to work longer without pay,
preferring to run the risk OF securing
other employment to sticking to the road
and starving. The master machinist,
Pat Kelly, took out the passenger train
last night, and it is thought no trains
will be running to-day. ;.
This is certainly an interesting condi-
ton of affairs, when it is considered that

Hickman. He has now pretty effectual-
Iv suspended the whole line, and until
he himself is suspended the road is not
likely TO be brought out Of its troubles
Notwithstanding all that has trans
pired. the State is doing nothing for the
road. The committee appointed to con-
,ider the propriety Of renting II TO the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad com
pany pretend they have no authority TO
act, and the road must consequently he
idle.
One Of the excuses said to have been
made by Gen. lines for suspending the
road from Union City 70 Hickman vas,
that he Was afraid it's property would be
attached in Kentucky. As the laws o
Kentucky would no, permit any such
attachment, this excuse is simply ridicu-
lous. And the Receiver has not yel

The speech of Mr.. Everitt, of London,
at the Chamber Of Commerce last night,
was practical, satisfactory and business
like. His object, TO incite to sxertion,
az we'll as to show the feasible way OF
opening up direct trade with Europe, SO
far as the argument is concerned was
very happily accomplished. If goods can
be laid down in Memphis from London,
via Norfolk, Va, for ninety cents, which,
coming from New York, cost us dol
lar. the matter is plain enough. Ten
per cent discount from the cost to our
merchants should make very conside-
rable difference to consumers. And II
we must buy always abroad, and to all
the extent we do not manufacture at
home, a common share of discernment
will direct us to the cheapest market,
more especially when that market is the
one in which, while we buy at the lowest
rates, we can sell at the highest such ar
ticles as we may have to spare.
Direct trade will be Of infinite service
10 this section and to all classes, both in
the city and country, as Mr.. Everitt could
not well avoid showing in a sensible
hours speech. 1t will both reduce the
expenses Of living and augment indi-
vidual resources. And so our means Of
prosperity. whatever they may be, vii
be increased and made effective. Asw'
add to the wealth Of every man, on tn
principle that penny saved is two pene
