disregard the verdict OF the Court as
an unconstitutional Senate, he used
such warmth Of language and man.
ner us TO create great sensation in
tho Senate Chamber, and more than
ever to tempt demonstration Of ap.
plausc. His closing sentence was to
thank the Senate for their attention
to his remarks, and to demand, in
the name Of free people, the con
yiction Of the accused President,
whom he believed, before God and
man, to be guilty Of the crimes
whereof he is charged
Mr., Bingham then took his scat.
Senator Wilson rose to submit q
motion that the Senate retire for con.
sultstion. lIe had scarcely timc to
address tho Chair, when, to the RICH,

gallery, few spectators commenced
to stamp their feet and clap their
hands in approval Of Mr., Bingham.
speech. II was promptly suppressed
by the Chief Justice, but it very
quickly spcsd through the entire
galleries, increasing in violence Ms it
went around, until il amounted to a
disordcrly upronr. Even the ladies
were quick to catch the coniagion,
and gave vent to their enthusiasm as
earnestly as those Of the ether sex.
The Chief Justice raped when il
was too late He might as we'll have
tried to cxtinguish a prairie FIRE with
a syringe. When he rose from his
seat and cried "Ordcr !" with all the
voice he could put into tho word, he |
was only laughed at and for very |
spite hundreds who had remained I
silent till then joined in the demon
stratisn, and made the Senate cham.
Der bcdlan, Some stood up while
they clappcd their hands, and some
others kept their rcats that they
might be enabled to usc both hands

While the noise was al its loudest,
he Chief Justice, in an angry tone,

il, but they found the
,rowd very slow to move. The Sen

he scene began to smack Of the
French revolution, when the crowd
used to ovcrawe tho Nstionsl A.
.embly.
Mr.. Grimes angrily asked, after
surveying the scene, Why the order
was not enforced forthwith, to which
Inc Chief Justice, who seemed 10
be getting quito nervous, replied
that ii certainly would be enforced.
A vollcv of Kisses for Grimes came
next, and that, too, from the most
respectable par. Of the galleries.

to 60. up more violent insult in the

shouted several Of the retiring Of.
Tenders 10 reply.
The galleries were by this time
about half cleared, bu. not because
Of the order Of the Chief Justice.
II got out that the Court was about
to retire, or adjourn, and those xho
had left had done 80 under this i'm.
preston. Suddenly few men cried
out; Hold on They amt going

dfeds took their seats sgain, with the
utmost concern, and totally indif'ar-

Mr.. Cameron, amid the din and
confusion, rose to hope that tho gal.

nA bclieye il fair to punish all for

Messrs. Fesssnden and johnson
