THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.

CHANGE OF HoUR-MR. NELSON'S BIOGRAPHICAL
DISSERTATION GRADUALLY Trims OUT THE
GALLERIEs-MR. STEVENS TO SPEAK TODAY
BIT rrIKGHaPH TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON Friday, April a. 1863 D
In the Court of Impeachment today an order was
adopted changing the time of meeting from ii to IL
o'clock Senator Edmunds offered an order to admit
the official reporters into the secret session. TO DO
held after the close of the arguments. But Senator
Sumner objected, and it went over Mr. Nelson then
resumed the floor in continuation of the biographical
disouistion upon which he entered yesterday, and,
for five mortal hours he harped upon the radiant
virtue and the unalloyed patriotism of Andrew
johnson. The galleries gradually thinned ont under
the charm of his rhetoric until toward the close OF
the performance they were almost empty. Only six
or seven members of the House listened to the
orator. and the Senator's with few exceptions, gave
little attention. Many of them expressed regret
that they had rescinded the rule, thus protracting
the trial unnecessarily; but the Managers are to
blame for this as much as any one
1t is understood that Mr.. Stevens will speak to-
morrow He will not occupy over an hour, and Mr.
Groesbeck, of the counsel, will follow him. The
probabilities are that Mr. Williams will follow the
example of Mr.. Logan, and file his argument. 1t is
minated this evening that Mr.. Curtis Will make up
for Mr.. Stanberys absence, and occupy day in an
oral speech. The indications are that Mr. Bingham
will not be able to finish up the before Thurs
day or Friday next.
