IT. IS the OPINION mere that the pro-
liabilities OF conviction OF the Prcsl-
don't are Weakening,
The debate IN the House to-day
was trashy, and developed no new
points, ana that IN the Senate ~aa
very much like it. The Senate struck
out tho provision allowing tho i'm
pcachment court to use the army and
navy Tor tl.r enforcement OF its pro-
ccsses. Inc argument, however, clio.
ltcd tho assertion that tho court could
uso both, and oil tho, people, should
tho emergency require. Wade csfd
not preside during the discussion.
EmorSs evidence before the I'M
pcachmcnt Committee merely says
that tho Prosrdcnt asked certain qnes-
tions, but he gave no orders: The inn
peachmcnt is becoming laughablc.
Tho KadIcaB in caucus to night
electcd the following managers of inn
vcns, Butler, Bingham, Boutwell,,
Wilson, of Iowa; Williams, Of Pom.
sylvania and Logan.
