THE AMERICAN STEAMSHIP CoMPANYs
steamer Ontario" is now the only ocean
steamship that -o~rriAs thA American flag
across the Atlantic. Three trips have been
made, resulting in loss to the company of
nearly eighty thousand dollars as appears from
the report of the treasurer submitted at
meeting of the stockholders, held in Boston,
on Friday. 1t also appeared at the same meet
ing that negotiations are pending between the
directors of the Company and New York par
ties for the sale of both the Ontario and Erie
The Erie is nearly ready for sea. 1t has been
repeatedly denied that these negotiations were
in progress, the Boston people being extreme
ly sensitive on the subject. The price offered
by the New York parties was not commune
Gated to the stockholders at the Fridays meet
ing, the whole matter having been left to the
discretion of the directors. The steamers cost
over six hundred thousand dollars each.
The reasons alleged for the confessed failure
of this line to achieve pecuniary success are
that last August was the worst possible time
for commencing the enterprise and that the
export trade is not to be relied upon and has
never supported any line of foreign steamers,
The government refuses subsidy, because
there are only two steamers. Mr. Hardy and
Others spoke in favor of retaining the steam
ers. No conclusion was reached. "

POLICE ITEMs.-On Saturday five of the
men who were concerned in the row which
took place last week near the Portland & Ken
nebec depot, were arrested and taken to the
lookup.
A young fellow was arrested for stealing
swiH from the United States Hotel. This prac-
tice of breaking into enclosures aud stealing
swill has become perfect nuisance. Doors
and CRATES and fences are of no avail. The
boys aoiH get in, some way or other, and many
of them not only steal the swill but, also, eve
rything else they they can conveniently carry
off,
Only one person was taken to the lookup
Saturday night for drunkenness.

Meeting Of the Union State Central
Committee.

At meeting of the State Central Committee OF
the Union Party of Nevada, held pursuant to call,
February 10, 1865. it ordered as follows:
That State Convention for the purpose OF Sc
lecting delegates to represent the State in the
convention of the National Union Republican
Party, called to meet in Chicago the 10th of
NAV. 1868, he called to meet in Carson City on the
Sth day of April next.
That delegates to said convention be apportioned
a follows:
One for each county, and
One for each Senator and Representative to
which such county is entitled.
That the several county Central Committees be
instructed to provide for the election of Delegates
to the State Convention; said elections to be by
direct vote at the Primaries, or by conventions
As the committees may direct. All elections of
delegates be had prior to the LIST of April next
That at the Primaries for the selection of dele
gates the following test be recommended, when
ever q challenge shall be made - the right of a
party to vote:

fairness to trial in which the Vic,
President would have . direct interest

sor of the President. But the question
which has arisen would have been
avoided had the Constitution provided
instead, that one of the Cour. should
preside. This would make it certain
that none but members of the Court
could have a voice in its rulings.
Chief Justice Chase is one of the
wisest and most trustworthy among our
public men. There is no doubt of his
Radicalism, no doubt of his sympathy
with the majority in Congress. He
certainly has reasons for believing his
present attitude to be sanctioned by the
Constitution. This may justly be said
while entertaining an opposite opinion
to his. That be is sustained by enough
Republican votes to prevent his being
overruled is evidence that there is
something besides mere party feeling
arrayed upon his side. Moreover, Judge
Chase is prominent candidate for the
Presidency. He has some ardent sup
porters upon the floor of the Senate
and they and others who have just
regard for his wisdom may, with much
reason, be expected to side with him.
The principle upon which to base an
opposition to his right 20 make rulings
is, that he being not member of the
Court, might, by SO doing, aided by his
official position, so decide as TO create
a bias in the minds of the triers.
AS to the question made by Manager
Butler and which was declared out OF
order by the Chief Justice, it may with
candor be said that it would be con-
sidered irrelevant in any court of law.
Johnson and not Lorenzo Thomas, is on
trial. But the Court itself and not its
presiding officer should have
the first and only right to decide upon
its admissbility. It would seem that
this should be so in the absence of any
rules regarding the nature of the evil
leuce to be heard.

The Impeachment Trial.

WASHINGTON, Mare 3l-When the Cour.
opened, Wilson continued offering the docu-
mentary evidence which was commenced
Yesterday. 1t included the resolution of the
Senate il executive session in response to the
message notifying the Senate Of the removal
of Stanton, and also the correspondence on
the same subject.
Witnesses were then called. The first two
were officers OF the Senate, who testified to
delivering copies OF the Senate resolutions to
the President and General Thomas.
The next witness was c. W. Creery,
clerk in the Treasury Department, who testi
fed as to the difference in the form of COM
miss ions used before and after the passage
of the Tenure of Office Act.
In reply to a question, Butler said the
Managers expected to prove by the difference
in the commissions used in the Treasury
Department before and after the passage Of
the Tenure of Office Act and the President
had ordered the Treasury Department to
recognize the Act as valid.

THE POSITION OF CHIEF JUSTICE
CHASE IN THE IMPEACHMENT COURT.

CHASE IN THE IMPEACHMENT COURT
The very best evidence in controyen'
ton Of the Copperhead charge that the
Senate, sitting as a Court of Impeach-
ment, is packed" is the report OF
proceedings had concerning Judge
Chase's position with relation to the
same. The action had thereupon could
aos, by any possibility, have been taken
if the Republicans were governed by a
plan of procedure agreed upon in
advance with reference to the trial Of
the President. The precise relation OF
the Chief Justice to the Court is a mat
ter for grave difference of opinion. He
occupies the position Of presiding Of
Of the Constitution. 1t seems an in
rongruity of that instrument that such
should be the case, especially if in such
an instance as the one in point he is to
be allowed to make a final ruling. The
question would seem to be as to
whether his position as presiding officer
entities him to decide upon matters
which may effect the case under trial
The Constitution makes but brief allu-
sion to the matter of Impeachment.
Following is al that it says:
The Senate shall have the sole power to
Try AL impeachments when sitting for that
purpose, they shall be on oath or affirmation.
When the President of the United States
is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside
and no person shall be convicted without the
concurrence of two-thirds of the members
present.
Judgement in cases Of impeachment shall
not extend further than to removal from
Office and Disqualification to hold and enjoy
any Office OF honor, trust or profit under the
United States but the party convicted
shall nevertheless be liable and subject to
indictment, trial, Judgement and punish
ment according to law.
By these terms the Chief Justice is
certainly part Of the organization Of
the Court while the Senate itself, sit
ting as such Court is solely empowered |
to try impeachments. 1t will be OBJ
served that the Chief Justice only acts
as the presiding officer of the Court Of
! Impeachment when the President is
tried 1t is to be inferred that at all
other times, the President OF the SEN
ate would preside.
Inasmuch as the Senate sits as both
Judge and jury, its decisions, delivered
oy majority OF its members, upon all
points of law and evidence cannot be
appealed from nor questiond. mas
much also as the Chief Justice can have
no voice in the verdict and cannot set
it aside when made, we cannot recon-
;ie his position with the right to
decide upon question Involving the
omission of evidence We shonld
uppose' it to be his function merely TO ,
i.ate the question at issue and submit
/: 10 tue Court. If be cannot vote ,
,ou the verdict, it is certainly para {
ioxical that he can make rulings which
mist exercise direct bearing upon the c
ase at bar. II is because the Cousti- :,
u;ion makes the Senate the sole power @
. t7y impeachmepts and then makes ,
ae Chief Justice a part of that court i
nat We are led to pronounce the latter :
an iucongruity. 1t is under h
tood that the Chief Justice was named
