The .Eaape0chnsent.

Many of our readers who have followed the
course of the impeachment trial from its COM
mencement, and realizing the gravity of the
charges brought by the House against the
President, have carefully examined the char.
acter and relevancy Of the evidence by which
it is sought to sustain those charges, were
doubtless surprised to learn that on Saturday
Mr.. Butler announced that the case, ON the
part of the House, was substantially closed
The evidence which the House has laid before
the Senate, as tending to prove the charges
brought against the President, or even to jus
tify the action of the House before the coun.
try, is utterly below criticism. As the i'm.
peachers, however, avowedly rely on the
strength Of their party and not in the strength
of their case, we presume the evidence is ex-
pected to have but little part in determining
the verdict.
At the request of the Presidents counsel
the court of impeachment adjourned over till
Thursday. What is to be the line of de-
fence, of course is merely conjecture, though
the counsel intimate that their evidence on
behalf of the President is largely documenta.
ry, requiring some time for its proper ar.
rangement. 1t is rumored from Washington
that the Presidents counsel expect the trial to
close about the 18th inst

SALARIES IN GoLD.-The New Orleans
Bee says that the late Judge fancy refused to
receive greenbacks in payment of his salary,
on the ground that the Constitution of the
United States itself provides, in section 1, ar
ticle III, that "the Judges, both of the Su-
preme and Inferior Courts, shall receive for
their services compensation which shall not
be diminished during their continuance in of
fee" This, according TO Judge fancy, in
hibited the Treasurer from paying him in
anything else than gold or silver coin, or its
equivalent. Mr. Chase was then Secretary
of the Treasury, and he refused to pay tho
Judges salary excepting in greenbacks.
But, adds the Bee, and upon information
from high and responsible source" it is
a fact that since Mr.. Chase became Chief
Justice Of the Supreme Court, the Judges
have been paid their salaries in gold" The
public is interested in knowing if this is so,
and Chief Justice Chase can give the infor-
mation.--N Y. World

We have before us a letter, written to q
citizen by friend residing in East Tennes-

SO because it is believed that branch of the

it, exists in this city. For this reason we ap-
