ted on this article.
There were no manifestations Of sentiment
made on either side OF the question, what
ever were the feelings Of the senators, mem
bers and spectators. They were thoroughly
repressed.

the effect Of, the previous question, and
therefore the motion to adjourn, otherwise
than simply to adjourn, vas no, in order.
Calls of "Questiopl Question
Chief Justice-The motion that when The
Senate adjourn il adjourn to meet al certain
date cannot now be entertained, because The
Senate is in process ofexseusing an order. A
motion to adjourn to certain date seems, to
the Chair. to GONE under the satneraie. Tae
Chair will, therefore, decide the motion not
10 order.
Mr. Conness-From that decision I appeal.
TIE Chief Justice put the question and di-
rected the Clerk to read the order adopted
to-day on motion of Mr.. Edmunds, as fol.
lows:
Ordered, That the Senate do now proceed
to vote on the articles according to the rules
of the Senate.

sustained, which resulted yeas "a, nays 80.
So the decision Of the Chief Justice was
resumed and the order to adjourn was ruled
on in order.

The national drama Of impeachment, clos.
ing scene, was not marked by the slightest
breach of decorum or good order.
The Senate, having resumed its session,
took up the concurrent resolution OF the
House for q recess until the 25tb inst.
The resolution was supported by Messrs.
Morrill, of Vermont, Hendricks and Sumner,
and opposed BY Messrs. Conkling, Morrill, of
Maine, and Nye.
Mr.. Buckalaw moved to amend the order
By providing for an adjournment till Monday
the 25,h. Rejected with division. Sc
The question required on the order as
originally offered BY Senator Williams 10 ad
journ the Court till Tuesday the 25th. The
vote resulted as foliows-yeas 80, nays q.
The Chief Justice then announced the re-
suit, and said to the Senate, the sitting as
Court of Impeachment stands adjourned till
Tuesday the 26ih inst.
The Chief Justice then left the Chair and
the members of the House retired to their own
Chamber. The spectators who Ailed every
seat snd standing place in the galleries, i'm
mediateiy began to pour into the halls and
corridors, and the curtain fell for ten days on
tie national drama Of ImpeAchmant.
Mr.. Nye said he thought the President
would be able to take care Of himself with
his new recruits. He thought little etnbar-
rassment to the President would no. be un-
profitable. Let Arkansas come in to-day;
let US have a birth, and Tennessee 3 death;
Jet us pass concurrent resolution admitting
the State Of Arkansas and relieve him Of bis
embarrassment By not sending it to him at all
to have it sent back here at the end of ten
days with another defiant veto.
We have had enough; let US admit Arkan-
sas before the sun is down; let the Presi-
dent have another sweet morsel to roll under
his tongue.
Mr.. Sumner favored recess on the ground
that it would be beneath the dignity of the
Senate to continue to tranRact business with
the President. He had slways felt 1t to be
unbeeoming in the Senate to transact busi-
ness with him while Ke'was on trial for high
crimes and misdemeanors. The President
