Chief Justice Chase informed the cOunSel IOr
the President that the Senate had declined to
grant the forty days delay asked, and had
adopted an order requesting the President to
file his answer on or before the 23d of March,.
Nottingham thenoffered resolution declaring
that "upon the filing of replication by the
Managers of the House of Representatives to
the answer Of the President to the articles cx-
hibited against him by the House, the trial Of
said articles Of impeachment shall proceed
forthwith. This was rejected -yeas twenty
five, nays twenty-six. .--=g-.-..-sz >@.~s-sa-a
Thus the refusal to proceed 10 this peremp-
tory manner was only overcome by one vote.
Yet, finally. it was agreed that, unless other
wise ordered, the trial should SO. proceed at the
time Indicated =
The Washington correspondent ofthe Baltl-
more Sun says: 1t appears that when the
Senate retired for consultation the Chief Jus
tice presided. Democratic Senators urged that
the time for answer requested by the President
be given. -Four Radical Senators advised the
same, but, after general dlscesslon, some Tor
but a. very few days and others Tor as high as
twenty compromise was effected among the
Radicals on ten days.
Same surprise is expressed that the Chief
Justice did not, in the first instance, in open
Senate, when the proposition was made and
analogies and practice in courts cited and relic d
upon give his own decision, OF make known
his opinion Of the law, or the analogy that
should govern it. La contemplation OF the
rules OF the Senate the Chief Justice is requir-
ed to decide questions argued and presented,
unless a.Senator shall ask vote of the court
upon the point to be decided.
There is very general unanimity of opinion
among dispassionate and intelligent persons,
and especially among lawyers, as to the refusal
of the Senate to give the President more time
for preparation for trial All agree that In
view of the magnitude and gravity of the case
at least twenty, and many say thirty days,
should have been granted. eg2 az
The general impression is, also, chat the pro-
ceedings argue untavorably for Mr.. johnson,
but there are some who still believe more than
one third of the Senate may be relied upon Tor
a conscientious verdict under the obligations OF
their special oath. '..s4
Upon a showing of cause for further time for
preparation of the defence, there is scarcely a
doubt that ten days or 80 additional will be al
lowed the President after the replication, and
there are some who assert that such is the au-
thorized Interpretation of some Radical Sena.
tors, who, it is alleged, would not have voted
for MIR. Conkling's proposition but for the fact
that it provided that the trial might be further
postponed upon showing of cause therefor

STATE SOVEREIGNTY. The impeachment Of
Jud &c Hindman is about the strongest illus
tration Of State Rights ultraism we have lately
witnessed. Inimpeaching him torrespecting the
authority of one OF the Departments of the

in effect, that the law of West Virginia is Of
superior authority to law of the United
States. If we mistake not, it was some such
doctrine as this that led to the late rebellion y

Messrs. Bingham and Wilson, of the Mana

the rules adopted by the Senate for the govern
ment Of the trial, when the accused appeared
he appeared for trial, and not for an extern
sion Of time. Messrs. Stanbery, Nelson and
Curtis opposed this construction of the
rules, and considerable debate ensued.-
Senator Edmunds proposed that the
President be allowed to the first OF April to
prepare his case, instead of giving him forty
days, and, on motion of Senator Morton, the
Senators, accompanied by the Chief Justice, re-
sence Of over two hours, the Court returned.
