Especial TO the Evansville Journal
INDIANAPoLls, February 24-There
has been much excitement over the
news from Washington, and the i'm
neachment of the President is the
all.absorbing topic of conversation.
Republicans are united, almostto a
man, in favor of prompt trial of
johnson, and his impeachment. The
excitement on Saturday afternoon re-
minded ore very forcibly of the Sat
urday before the fall Of Sumter.
Business was, in a great measure,
suspended, and men were everywhere
on the streets, conyersing and making
inquiry for the latest news. Yester-
day and to-day the feeling has been
strong, but very quiet, as the result
seems TO be so clearly foreshadowed
The funeral of w. II. Riley, form-
erly Of this city, but who died some
time since at New Orleans, was OBJ
served here yesterday, and was more
largely attended than that Of any pri-
vate citizen for several years past.
Masonic Hall would not near contain
all the people. The Masons were out
in force, and special trains were run
over the Martinsville and Terre Haute
Railroads.
Two boys, aged sixteen and nine
teen years, respectively, were arrested
at Columbus, Indiana, last week, for
robbing the Post-of6ce, at that place,
some time since. They have con-
fessed to the crime, but say they got
but 70 cents out Of three hundred
letters.
A second trial Of the case against the
sureties Of the defaulting Treasurer of
Franklin County, Bastner, some years
since, has resulted in a verdict for
the defendants. The defalcation was
about $4,000, and on the former trial
the State got judgment
The Democrats here are much dis
appointed over the National Conven-
ton going to New York.
A meeting Of Presbyterian Pastors
aud Elders OF the city was held this
morning, to make preparations for
the Union Presbyterian Convention.

On motion Of Edwards, the Senate
took up the bill to regulate the pre-
sentation of bills to the President and

deficient in allowing some person
outside of Congress, to wit: the Sec
retary Of State, to ascertain and de-
clare when bill has become a law.

ing which Sumner hoped provision
would be inserted to make the bill a
veto action, so as to bills already

example, the bill to secure equal
rights In the District of Columbia
/. The Senate then, on motion Of Doc
little, postponed all other orders and
took up the supplementary recon
struction bill The question was on

Committee, with certain Instructions.

bill.
AtI.30 Col. Moore presented sew
eral messages in writing from the
President, aud announced that the
Joint resolution passed on February
II, authorizing the Secretary of War
to employ counsel to defend certain
Generals who were engaged in the
execution Of the. reconstruction laws,
had become law, as nothing had
been returned at the time fixed by
law. At the close. Doolittle' S remarks
on the further consideration of the
subject we're postponed until to NOR
row, and at twenty minutes to four
o'clock, on motion Of johnson, the

PRACTICAL JOKE ON AN EsrNABLE LADY
very extensive practical joke was perpetrated
yesterday on Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis well kuo xn
to the world for her numerous acts of benevo-
lence and charity. Some wag. ii seems, had sent
large number Of bogus invitations to members
OF the hdm ton, asking their attendance at a re-
cepton TO be given at her residence, No. Al
Mount Vernon street. yesterday afternoon. Not
withstanong the severe snow.storm, q very large
number Of persons responded TO this invitation,
and tt one time the street in front of her dwelling
was completely blocked up with their carrsges.
But these were not the only people hoaxed.
lnnumerable orders were sent to artisans OF all
knds-to plumbers, painters, carpenters, gas
filters, etc.-to come and perform little Jobs Of
repairing about the house-each Job minutely
specified in the order. Other orders were sent to
coal Dealers flour Dealers grocers, etc.. to bring
stated quantities Of their respective kinds OF msr
chaDdise, to be delivered at stated times. Even
the services OF an undertaken were brought into
requsition to lay out the body Of supposed dead
child and in response to an advertisement In the
Herald, members of the feline tribe were brought
TO Gil out the miscellaneous aud variegaed assOrt-
ment. Who the author of this strange hoax ia
we are unable to state-but all the facts of the
case have been placed into the hands Of Detective
ter TO the bottom. The several orders are writ en-
in as many different styles Of handwriting. Mrs.
Otis bore the infection very quietly aud did not
allow the matter TO disconcert her at all. Two
policemen from the third station were sent to the
house to turn away the victimized persons as fast
as they arrived.-tBoston Post, Jan. 22d.

time, expecting every moment the temperance

window and answered the freezing countryman
that q report would be made in a minute. Our
man of potatoes, after waiting the minute over a

the house, who expressed great astonishment at
the peddler's impeTtinence. She exhorted him to
be mole Job-like. and closed by asking him to
wait another minute, as the prsties were most
