The Impeachment,

The trial of President johnson under
the Impeachment resolution CT the House
is still progressing. Since our last issue
the Senate adopted resolution giving
all the managers and counsel iu the case
the privilege of fling written or printed
arguments, or Of making oral srgume nts
in the case. The gentlemen concerned
agreed to avail themselves of the latter
privilege, and the consequence is that the
end has been postponed at least one
week. 1t is now presumed that Tuesday
next will see the end of the case, and
that until that time we must accept 4. j
as he is, the President, instead fthe great
ousted, as he certainly will be, if justice
is done him. Of the necessity of this
much speechifying, we have our doubts;
but it may probably be as we'll to let the
public see, in all their bearings, the merits
Of the ease, as they will be ably set forth
by learned aud distinguished jurists, both
for and againt the President.
After a close following up of the eYi-
dence on both sides, we do not see the
remotest possibility Of an acquit,al on
any one of the eleven articles of Impeach
ment. Several of our Democratic cotem
,poraries pretend to look for an acquittal; ;
but the wgy shey below about executive
privilege and the constitutional rights OF
"A. j. President, in connection with the
trial, shows plainly enough that they do
rot believe the doctrine they teach

al political connection with him; and are
so honey combing the Foundations of the

through into that oblivion which every
sense Of right indicates TO be his.
] is hard fate indeed which awaits
Andrew johnson; but it is the fate which
should await all, who, for personal ad
vaucement or agrandisement sell them

made them what they are, to those who.

One OF the mcanest things ia the i'm
pe'chment trial was developed in the tes-
tlmony of Walter Cox, witness for the
defence. Mr.. Cox, who is lawyer,
swore that President johnson told him
he wanted to have the Tenure of Office
act tested, aud wanted him to see "Stans.
berry, who he'd been too lazy to look into
the matter" Cons dering that Mr.. STAINS
berry has been faithful friend to the
President, and has done everything pos.
slbie to advance his interests, this abuse
OF him behind his back is most Ciscredi-
table. The truth seems to be that A. j.
is very poor creature, and that if he is
turned out, the relief Of the county will
be great
