The Trial of President johnson.

Andrew johnson was on Friday arraigned
before the Senate, sitting % High Court
OF Impeachment. and after long struggle.
Monday, Mar. 90. was designated for the
opening OF the trial. Mr.. johnson tried to
have the trial postponed TO the last of
April. and the House managers endeavored
to have the trial proceed at once and failed
in tins BY only one vote. The counsel Of
Mr.. johnson intimaied that the trial would
be very lengthy ono. but leading Sen
ators, and the House Managers think it can
no, occupy ov-r month. The Washing
ton correspondent Of the Tribune says
"Tbe managers ofthe House are marshal

Notwithstanding the rumors TO the contrary.
