there was breathless silence in Court.
Everything passed off quietly The vote was
taken first on the 18th Articles for convic-
ton 10 for acquittal.
The following honorable, conscientious Re-
publicans, distinguished lawyers, voted Not
Guilty, in ringing, clear voices Except Grimes,
who was too debitated to speak loud, having
to be carried into Court in chair: )-Fessenden,
Grimes, Fowler, Ross Van Wrinkle, Wiley and
Trumbull 1o1 o rn
Several movements we're made to adjourn. =
The Judge moved such motions out of order -
An appeal was taken, and the chair was not
sustained. Conkling moved an adjournment to
the 23rd inst. Henderson, ironically, moved
an amendment, by adjourning until 4th of July.
McCreery wanted months and days omitted,
and substituted next year. All the motions
were voted down, and motion to adjourn, un-
til next Tuesday, prevailed.
Impeachment has gone to the dogs There
was lively debate in the Senate, about ad
journing until after the Chicago Convention.
