CHAPTER I.
Just before veaDers, as came in from visit
to the hospital, Mother FraRces our superioEeSs,
called me to her, and said:
- "Dear sister, you have been out nearly an
day, and avere up Last evening; youean go into
the church for vesysers, and then you had better
go to yonr cell" .,=s.-s
:. After the services were .ended,I remained a
few minutes to say my prayers. When ms

heard from the gate-bell q loud peal that rang
through the silent house. I heard the door
opened, and hurried message delivered.
" Another call" Thought, and then came .

Mother Frances enteDed, saying:

The Impeachment trial opens again to-day,
and as It approaches II Is, as matter OF course,
the all-absorbing topic Of conversation Much
speculation is rife as to the length OF the trial.
whether IL will proceed at once or more time will
be given Mr.. Johnson to make ready his defence,
the probabilities respecting the termination or
the result that will be reached; whether the
President will be removed or not; how certain
Senators will vote, and what Is to be the effect
OF this trial OF the President upon political par
ties; in short, there are all manner Of reports
and rumors, probable and improbable, A few
things are definitely understood and may be
stated.
Since the adjourn ment Of the court Mr. John.
sons counsel have been very busy, and have
been in frequent consultation with the Presi-
dent at the White House; and Il is generally un-
derstood that the argument for the defence Is
very nearly completed. II will be somewhat
elaborate in preparation and details, and is in.
tended TO vindicate most thoroughly and unan.
swerably the President from the charges con-
tained in the several articles Of the House OF
Representatives. Hon. VIM. NJ. Eyarts will to-
day argue for more time In which to prepare. II
may be doubtful, however, II the time 10 con-
tinued beyond that required by the managers to
make their replication to the Presidents an
swer.
The managers have been hard at work making
ready for the trial. They have examined many
witnesses, and have been giving much attention
TO the law points which may arise. 1t cannot
be expected, however, that they can fully com.
prehend what is needed TO meet the arguments
OF the Presidents counsel till they know the
tenor and scope Of the defence made In his be.
half That this defence OF the Executive will be
able there can be no doubt; from the great ability
OF the distinguished counsel who are employed
In the case,
It's expected that General Butler will make
the opening argument for the House, and that
Mr. Bingham will close the proceedings so far al
the pleas are concerned.
To-day, 1t may be expected, will develop som
new features Of this trial for the Impeachment
Of the President OF the United States; and 1
will be our cndeavor to lay before our reader
from day to day whatever OF interest this tris
may elicit

Mr.. Van wyek's Report.

Some considerable stir was created a few days
ago in consequence OF a report made by Mr.. Van
Wyck, in the House of Representatives, which
was supposed 20 come from the Committee on
Retrenchment, Of which Mr.. V. is a member.
Some days after a resolution was introduced
denying the official character OF the report, and
the public were led to believe that the paper pre-
scented by Mr.. Van Wyck was unauthorized. 1t
turns out, however, that Mr.. Van wyek has
made considerable investigation In regard to the
whisky frauds, and that he has had several In.
terviews with different members OF the commit
tee, and the matter had been pretty freely dis.
cusscd, and the conclusion arrived at that after
the adjournment OF Congress some attention
would be given to the matter Of frauds upon the
revenue through the whisky rings organized to
cheat the Government.
Mr.. Van wyck was of the opinion that the
members Of the committee very generally knew
