ss Proceedings In Impeachment.
Chief Justice STORY thus, sets forth the
mode of proceeding in the Institution and
trial Of impeachment 40 -5ffl,f
When an officer is known or suspected to
be guilty of malversatiOn in office, some
member OF the House of Representatives
usually brings forward resolution to'ac-i
] cuse the party. or for the appointment of
: a committee. to consider and report upon
the charges laid against him. The latter is
the ordinary course; and the report OF q
committee usually contains, If adverse to
the party, a statement of the charges, and
recommends a resolution that he be i'm
peached therefor. If the resolution is
adopted by the House, committee is then
appointed to impeach the party at the bar
OF the Senate, and to state that the articles
against him will be exhibited in due
time, and made good before the SEN
ate; and to demand that the Senate
take order for the appearance of the
. party to answer to the impeachment. This
being accordingly done, the Senate signify
their willingness to take such order; and
articles are then prepared by committee,
under the direction of the House of Repre-
sentatives, which, when reported to- and
approved by the House, are then presented
in the like manner to the Senate; and q
committee of managers are appointed to
conduct the impeachment. As soon as the
