dA@On Sunday night last, the Office Of
William q. Hurley. ESQ.,, of this town, was
entered by burglars and robbed Of several
dollars worth Of Postage stamps, three pairs
Of boots, and one neck tie; at least this is
al wc learned that he missed. An entrance
was effected through q window W prying
open tho shutters. Mr.. Hurley takes bis
loss very philosophically, but II will not be

"IsIpEACrlsIENT."

Although our readers, like ourself, may
DO somewhat disguised with the above stale
heading, it is nevertheless necessary to keep
It up as long as the farce Of tho High
Court continues. Siekening as the whole
matter is, scandalous aud disgraceful to the
Nation as the conduct of our rulers at
Washington may be, our readers must be
kept informed Of the ignominy to which
we arc all subjected. A President Of the
United States powerless in tho hands of .
small but powerful faction through such
imbecility and corruption as the world never
saw before I!
All we can say in the way Of news is, that
on Monday ths beast, Butler was expect.
cd to make tho opening speech against the
President; and it seems to have been con-
ceeded that the whole day should be devoted
to the business of allowing this concentra-
ton Of nsstiness to emrty himself. Cousc.
quently we have little else to give to our
readers on the subject Of impeachment than
the above. Butler will have made his
speech at the time mentioned, and the SEN
ate will then proceed to take the testimony.
Its now expected that the proceeding will
be short one, as it seems to be the deter.
mination Of the Senate to be consistent with
itself and remove the President in &C.
oordsnce with what is commonly believed
to be- i concocted plan on tho part Of the
impeachers, and his enemies in the upper
house. AS fast as we arc able to furnish
our readers with the news they will receive
It, No further time is expected to be al
lowed the President, and the trial is likely
to continue from day to day until the play
is ended. '.! sgt ,s,as' gE 4fi 2- 1l9gnia

TRIAL OF JRpEEnsoN DAvrs.-The trial
Of Jefferson Davis has been put of until
the l4th Of May next. II was to have sta-

Justice Chase has written that on account Of
the Impeachment trial he could not be pres.
cnt II is confidently expected that the
month Of April will be occupied with the

ANOTHER SCENE In the Virginia Recon
strucion" Convention, on Monday, Bayne
arose to privileged question. Words had
been spoken upon de floor on dc 18th Of de
month, which villifed him, and he wanted the
member from Petersburg to be brought before
the House and made to account for his conduct.
He had waited patiently for an explanation
from de gentleman, but it had MT come"
Platte stated that he had no explanation to
make He was prepapared to do as he had
done again if attacked as he had been by the
member from Norfolk in SO miserable and low
lived manner.
The chair decided that it was now too late to
call the gentleman from Petersburg to account
The words should have been taken down Of the
time uttered.
Bayne appealed from the decision OF the
Chair, and spoke upon his appeal, repeating
the remarks previously made about his having
waited for proper explanation.
Platte repeated that he would do the same
thing under the same circumstances. He con-
sldered the remarks made by the member from
Norfolk towards him as just provocation for
him to reply as he did. He believed then,
and he believed now, that Bayne's remarks
were made in malice. lie said them and would
say now, under the same circumstances, that
he was an impudent scoundrel and he was
prepared to account for the remark in any way
(. Lewis Lindsey "Mistar President Eff dis
House will qualify de remark OF scoundrels
and recognize US as SIGH, I'm prepared too"
Norton spoke in favor Of hauling Mr. Platte
up. He had made remark personally insult
ing to one of that race with which he has idcn-
titled himself They we're all in the same boat
together, and they would demand to be treated
politically and socially equal.
Morrlssey arose to spake upon this question.
He thought the parrelminteary rules had bin
vierlated, and the glntleman ought to be haul
cd up He could git justice before the House.
Platte said that if the gentleman wished to
take the matter up, he could get what he
wanted.
Morrssey II wus spakin' to parrclmin-
teary quistieon, and whin [ have completed
my remarks oopon that sooject, | will turn my
attintion to the gintleman."
Finally the appeal taken by Bayne was de-
cided against him. Bayne said that the Con-
vention had decided against him, "and was
therefore clar of de subject. He had just re-
celved notice to 60 to meetin outside, and
he and de gentleman from Petersburg could
regulate de matter elsewhere. ct is rumored
that Bayne threatens to prove Platte scoun-
drel at the next Radical public meeting j.
