what The House mansgers expected to prove,
and received for reply that it was expected
10 show that the intent and purpose OF
Thomas was to take possession of the War
Office by force Then the Presidents cOur-
sci objected to the testimony, and the Chief
Justice sustained the objection. The mara
gers demurred TO this, when the Ohief JUS
tice arose snd said that he, as Chief Justice
of the United States, was delegated to pre-
side over the Court of Impeachment when
the President of the United ateS was be-
ing tried, but when so presiding he became
President of the Senate sitting as High
Court of IMPEACHMENT. When a point of
evidence of form or law came before the
Court, in the first instance the Chief Justice
was the proper person to decide it, and then
the Senate, on its being submitted TO them.
He then stated the point raised for the deci-
sion of the Senate. This called forth
lergthy and sharp debate, which term mated
in putting the question whether the Senate
should retire for consultation. A vote was
taken and resulted yeIs %, nays 25. 1t be-
ing tic vo.c the Chief Justice voted aye,
thus giving practical effect to the position
assumed by him as to his right To vote.
The Senate, headed by the Chief Justice,
then atout three clock retired for cousult8-
tio1. One hour. two hours, three hours
passed, and still the Senators d not return
to their chamber. At last, at twenty min
utes past six, the Senate returned, and the
Chief Justice havirg called the body to or.
der, slid
"The Senate has had under consideration
the question which was discussed before it
retired, and has directed me TO report the
following rule:
"RuLE 1th. The presiding officer Of the
Senate shall direct all the necessary prepa-
rations in the Senate Chamber, and the pre-
siding officer of the Senate shall direct all
the forms of proceeding, when sitting for the
purpose of trying an impeachment, and all
forms during the trial not otherwise special
ly provided for; and the presiding officer on
the trial may rule on all questions of evil
dence aud on incidental questions, which
decision will stand rs the Judgment of the
Senate; or he may at his option in the first
instance submit any such question to avote
of the members of the Senate"
Mr.. Butler intimsted that the managers
desired to retire for consultation.

CoLuMBus, o.. March 27, I86s

COLUMBUS, u. March q, 1868.
DEAR JoURNAL:-Among the interesting
things OF the capital city, not the least is the
weekly dancing of the luna. les, at the
ssylum. The court Ct tie institution you
know has been converted into a spacious
and beautiful hall without chamber, til e
walls ornamented and frescoed from the
ground floor TO the rotuuds. Ia this hall a
dance is held every Monday evening
citizens are admitted ard mingle freely in
the dance with the inmates of The asylum.
On last Monday evening near fifty male and
about the same number of female Patients
were brought or rather admitted, to the
dance. One man was pointed out who was
said to be of the most eiolent and raving
class, but who, in the ball room under the
influence of muse and the presence of
ladies, acted the perfect gentleman.
1t was a strange sight to see those of
shattered mind minglipg with the sane in
the exciting but orderly movements of the
dance. Now and then ysu could discover
from some peculiar look or movement, that
there was something wrong with an individ-
ual, but such perfect order and decorum
prevailed that with few exceptional cases,
the stranger could make no distinction be-
tween the sane and the insane.
The superintendent am told adop's this
practice, for the benefit of those under his
charge whose mental alienation is of pecu-
liar type. The exercise, the music, and
company have, it is said, a very beneficial
effect upon large proportion of the patients,
greatly facilitating their recovery. So, it
seems that dancing has its uses. ,l O.
The General assembly bas been assiduous
in its busiress since Trezday last. One is
struck with some wonder, to know how large
a portion of the time is consumed in passing
bills of purely local nature. Authority to
levey taxes in certain localities, for special
purposes, such as bridges, town halls, court
houses, agricultural grounds, school houses
&C., is the prime object | should think of
ore half of all measures introduced.
From Wednesday afternoon TO Friday
IL P. d. the visible admixtuTe bill was
under consideration. It was resisted by the
Republicans, by all the means in their
power for day and a half, when tie bill
finally passed by strict party vote.
1t docs not say in so many words, that a
man having a visible mixture of African
blood shall not vote. But it hedges him
about with difficult and impossible proofs,
that is requires proof so difficult to find that
il carried into effect the law will in its effect
work the exclusion of large number of
voters. A more urjns,. outrageous, dastaid-
ly mean attempt to deprive men of their
constitutional right to the elective franchise
was never made any where.
Let us hear no more Democratic arguments
for the sanctity Of courts or constitutions,
nor for the rights Of mer. SAYDUsKY.

LETTER FROM DAKOTA.

CHEYENNE, Dskoia Ty, March 81, GS.
EDIroRs JOURNAL - Stree writing to you
last we have made the trip from Omaha to
Cheyenne, distance of 5l7 miles. About
three hundred milts OF the distance was up
the South Platte River, beautiful and fer
tile country, but without any settlements at
all, except at the railroad stations, where
may be teen few sod huts, occupied by
rsucbe-men. On the route we saw many
small herds of antelopes, and passed num-
Der of the prairie-dog villages. Occasionally
might be seen an Indian or two cantering
over the plains. Cheyenne has between
seven and eight thousand inhabitants, and is
about twenty miles from the foot of the
Black Hills. We can see the mountains.
with their lofty, snow-capped peaks, loom
ing up behind the black hills. The sight is
one SO grand that the beholder can gaze for
hours on the surrounding scenery, with a
pleasure that is beyond description.
On Tuesday night of this week it sppears
the desperadoes got the police and Vigilance
Committees in such dread that riot run high
at dance-houses and gambling until a
late hour last night. This morning, at the
head of Main-street, there were three poles
standing, tied together with rope. There
hung the lifeless bodies Of two desperadoes,
splendidly dressed, their gold watches,
chains and pocket books undisturbed. Far
ther out on the commons hung third; six
miles out at rancho there were two others.
Zach had a card on his back stating the Of
fence for which he was hung. There is a
sullen silence among the roughs tonight.
No one knows any Of the Vigilance Com
mittee. They cast dread upon the rogues
that open court could not.
We are early for the mines; a month later
would have been soon enough. There has
but one train gone out yet. They are sho-
yelling snow out one hundred and fifty miles
from here The reports of the mines here
are very favorable. AS yet it is all specula-
ton. No one here appears to have been out.
I would advise none but hardy spirits 10
start. and then not until May. Before that
time hope 10 be able to give you = more
definite idea of the prospects that are yet
ahead. Between Indians and snow l can
assure you it is hard road to travel at
present. Ft Russell is two miles west of
here. There are 100 men on duty there.
The confusion is such here that writing is
almost out Of the question. / shall wIite
from time to time, giving you facts about
the route and the mines,
Yours truly, WILsoY.

Findlay The Courier has the follow
ing items - We regret to be under the ne
cessity of announcing the failure of the firm
of E. Deitsch d Co., manufacturers and
dealers in Cabinet Ware. Different persons
estimate their liabilities at from S5 900 to
Sc, COO, and we learn that it is claimed by
one of the firm that there are assets enough
to meet all liabilities. The senior member
of the firm disappeared some days before the
crash, and it was rumored that in some of
his financial operations he made free use of
other peoples names. This, however, on
Investigation proves to be unfounded. ......
From our observation, and from reports of
farmers generally, we are satisfied that there
has not been SO fair a prospect for a good
crop of wheat in this county, as this year
-. Edward Deitsch, who disappeared from
Findlay and his family on Thursday, the
18th lust, is requested by his father and
family, should this meet his eye, to return
home or should he be SO situated as to be
unable to do So, to notify them of his where
abouis.

this county is looking splendid. The favor
able winter has protected it from freezing,
and the early spring weather is bringing it
out nicely. The prospects are that we will
have an abundant crop. The season, SO
far, has been unfavorable for the manufac-

little has been made. 1t is said to be a sgu

Mr. Chase and the senate.-A Wa,

MT. Chase ana lne 5endl6.-A " asn-
ington special to the Cincinnati Commercial
says rumor prevails there to the effect that
Chief Justice Chase upon careful examina-
tion of the Constitution, and of the discus
sion of the convention which formed it, has
arrived at the conclusion that his functions
as presiding officer of the Senate in the i'm
peachment trial are of Judicial character ;
and that it is his prerogative to decide all
legal questions that may be raised in the
progress of the trial, as does an ordinary
Judge sitting in an ordinary court. This
may be only a caDard if it is not, the Chief
Justices decision may lead TO grave compli-
cations during the approaching trial, as the
Republican Senators are known 10 be almost
unanimously opposed to the province and
powers of the presiding officer of the Court
Of impeachment.

The Ohio legislature has passed a
bill to prevent prize fighting in the
State. 1t Furnishes the fighters with
imprisonment in the penitentiary from
one to ten years, and fines the seconds,
umpires and reporters from fifty to five
hundred dollars. This is wholesome
and well timed legislation, and we truft
will be efficacious in preventing the
repetition on our soil of those beastly
and brutal exhibitions which have DIS
graced the civilization of the age.

Tifin.-The Republicans have nominated
Hon. Cooper X. Watson, of Tiffin, for Com

Tifin, is the Democratic nominee. The
Tiffin Tribune of the 26th inst, gives an
account of a woman WHO had both her feet
SO badly froz IN during the late severe suow
storm, that amputation became necessary,
which resulted in death. The unfortunate
woman was resident of Reed Township,
Seneca county, named Lydia ]. Wells. The
Tribune says: ''She started TO visit a
neighbor, we believe, living at some distance
and being overtaken by the storm, sought
refuge in board shanty. The storm con-
tinued for two days, and she was unable on
account of the depth of snow to proceed OF
return. When relieved her feet were wholly
frozen and modification had commenced.
She was taken to he County Inirmary,
where DR.. Hovey, on Saturday, amputated
both of her feet between the ankle and knee.
She lived forty ght hours and then expired.
Every thing was done for ber relief, but
amputation was the last remaining chance to
save her life"
