HOW THE IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES WERE Re
cEIyED.
Mr.. Bingham, chairman, read the articles bat
notwithstanding their importance and the solem-
nifty OF the occasion, II made no more impression
on the senators, members or crowded galleries,
Hendricks reminded Mr.. Wade of the courtesy
due the speaker OF the House, whereupon old Ben
took the hint and invited Mr.. Colfax TO a seat be-
eide him. Senators Sprsgue, and Patterson, Of
Tennessee. slept sweetly during the reading.
Tbad Stevens stood erect for awhile with his col-
league, but became 30 exhausted he dropped into
his seat. Mr.. Butler clutched his felt hat convul
sively, and squinted more rascally than ever, IL
that was possible. Pomeroy took bis newspaper;
COnkling, who prides himself on his manly beau
~, read book sttentively; Fessenden ehewed
bits of paper, and Boutwell,, another manager,
who had taken fresh guild before entering, was
more intent on extracting its juice than hearing
the articles In question; Howard seemed TO be
studying the chief Justice, which was delicate
rebuke OF his offciOus conduct in preparing pre-
maturely rules for the court Of impeachment;
Chandler obnekled now and then; Reverdy John
son yawned, while Sumner looked positively
happy, as though negro suffrage was q law Of the
land, and as II there never had been q certain
Prussisn baron in the legation at Washington.
Ashley and Schenck were there too, aud ex-
changed approving winks occasionally, and this

DEPARTURE OF THE IMPEACHMENT MANAGERS.
The reading Of the articles having been COZ
cluded, Mr.. Wade informed them the Senate
would lake due action; whereupon Mr.. Colfax

back to the House.
ONE OF THAD's FUNNY REMARKS.
On the way there, Thsd Stevens said to some
members who were carrying him in his chair,
Bows what IN the hell will do when iyou are
desdl won't have anybody to carry me, ;" aud
his friends laughed because II was so funny. To-
morrow as agreed on, the Senate will constitute
itself as a court Of impeachment, and the presi-
dent will be summoned to appear to answer the
charges OF justice.
cHAsE's PBoTEsr-How TIE RADICALS REGARD IT.
Mr.. Chase's communication to the Senate, in
dissenting from the rules adopted, and rebuking
them for their hasty procedure, has aroused anger
among the impeachment radicals, and they de.
nounce him in bitter terms tonight Howard,
Sumner 4 Co. are bent on ruling tbs Senate TO ell
their designs, but other radicals express appre-
tensions thai the dissent OF the chief justice will
lead 10 some trouble not hitherto anticipated.
There are ten or twelve radical senators who only
desire 10 Discovers pTetext to abandon the vile
abortion. Thad Stevens does not conceal his
chsgrin that he was not selected chairman of the
managing committee. He only obtained his place
thereon at his earnest request.
TIE POLITICAL REACTION.

New Hampshire and Maine. together with the 10.
telgence that the latter State Endorsed the Wes-
tern financial policy and its author, Pendletoa,
creates alarm among the radicals and q CORES.
