The High Court of Impeachment having adj
Journed until Thursday next, nothing Of espe.
ciai interest at the Capitol is likely to trans
pire for several days. The House of Repre-.
sentatives has adjourned until Wednesday, a
quorum not being at present in the city. The
trial OF the President, heretofore supposed
matter thatwould produce intense excitement.
appears to progress smoothly and in a digni.
ned manner, at once betokening the good sense
OF the public, and the disposition Of the peo-
plesiegislative agents to act with prudence and
eircumSpeetion-maugre the frequent "quibs"
and "quiddities" Of the ever active and alert
writer's of the press.
It's not believed that the trial, whatever
may be the result, will extend beyond the
present month, If so longs and the "warren
h"stlngs" precedent has lost Its dishearten-
Ing influence on those who feared that lerlsla.
tion would be delayed and business suffer,
The very fact that legislation is suspended
during the trial, will facilitate the termins
tion of the trial, we trust, for the best interests
OF the country,

Manager Butler is fearfully indignant at
the charge that he attempted to appropriate
thousand-dollar bill of Woolley's money.
The following is the statement, as received
from the witness himself:
Butler: What became of the money
WoOlley left in your hands
Witness have it in my pocket
Butler : Produce it and the papers con-
tanned in the envelope.
Witness Here is the money, but the
paper you can't have.
Butler received the package of money,
and directed the witness to leave the room,
which he declined to do, saying he was re-
sponsible for the money, and was not
willing to leave it in Buffers hands. But
Ter threatened to arrest him, but witness
denied his right to do so. At last Butler
proceeded to the money, and said find
here SIG, 100.
Witness I'll swear handed you ST.
100.
Butler: Then you had better count it
yourself.
Witness If you will raise that newspaper
I think you'll find thousand-dollar bill
under it.
Manager Logan now for the first time in
terfered, and remarked:
Yes, General, see a corner of the note
sticking out.
Butler: Oh, yes did not see it.
This statement of the testimony has been
made public on the authority of the wit
ness-a gentleman of known integrity
and is the topic of general conversation.
