WASHINGTON, Feb. p
At 10 minutes past one p. m. to-day Thad.
Stevens, leaning on the arm of Judge Bing-
ham, entered the Senate chamber amid pro
found silence, and handing his cane to the
doorkeeper, said in loud and distinct voice:
" Mr.. Presidential obedience to the order of
the House of Representatives We appear before
you and in the name of the House of Representa-
tlves and of the people of the United States, we
do impeach Andrew johnson, President of the

in Office, and we further inform the Senate that
the House of Representatives in due time will
make good the same, and we do demand that the

Il large number of members of the House /
were in the Senate chamber and the scene |
was very impressive.

ard moved that a select committee be appoin- /
ted to take charge of the matter Mr. Bay /
ard Of Delaware objected to any such action .

of government ticket. There was consider
able electonering excitement. The govern

called the American ticket. Extras were
issued abusing the American people scandal
lousy, accusing them of trying to overthrow
the Kingdom. This unfair action of the gov
