of Mr.. Bingham, has just appeared at

announcement of the action of the
House, and asked for an order of the
Senate that time may be appointed
for hearing the ARTICLES of impeach-

The committee is now waiting at
the bar of the Senate for its action,
while Garrett Davis, who gave way
for the announcement of the commit

floor.
The scene, when the committee de-
livered its message, was most impress

In the city all is quiet.

graciously gave way, and on motion

against direct faction against Stan

the names of men Of acknowledged

In Congress there were four in
