The Presidents Trial.
The question OF the number OF days 10 De ano"eu
the President prepare his trial eXcltes iaF greater
interest in the House than in the Senate. The man.
agers win do all in their power TO drive the case Tor
ward as rapidly possible. They are already stipu-
lating that ten days is all that shall be allowed,
and they hope TO succeed in this design; and
1t is the intention Of the House to take recess as
soon as the investigation commences. The radical
Senators are not sanguine of being able TO hasten
the matter, nor of a conviction. 1t is almost
certain that six republican Senators win vote con-
servatively on questions involving the Presidents
rights and many concede that the same number
will fail the party on the final issue. There is no
feeling OF eation among the impeachers in view Of
the testimony that will be taken in reference to the
Presidents Western tour. 1t is certain that all the
facts concerning that journey win be developed,

for over two hours to-day the bill passed by the
House yesterday repeating the tax on manufactures.
The committee regard the proposed change In the
law OF 50 much importance that they will consider it
fully before reporting 1t to the Senate. The main
point on which they want to be satisfied is whether
the repeal OF the tax will affect the revenue to such
extent necessitate onerous taxation on other
things 1t is possible the bill viii be amended, but
II win no doubt be passed nearly in the same shape
as il came from the House.
