the verdict of the Court would DO
such as could be approved by the
people and and by the high court of
Heaven.
Private bills wero discussed until

During the proceedings reported
in the noon dispatches the Chief
Justice snubbed Howard once and
Grimes twice, by interrupting their
suggestions by the remark, "the
next thing in order" Edmunds,
Patterson and Vickcrs sworn.
The managers of the House en-
tered. On motion the Presidents
counsel were notified and entered.
Stanbery read paper authorizing
J. S. Black, VIM. M. Evarts, B. r.
Curtis, Thos. A. r. Nelson and him
self to represent tho President.
Stanbery asked for forty days to
prepar an answer. Bingham OPP
posed, insisting that the rules de-
manded a plea to day. He was
supported b Wilson. A sharp ar
gument ensued. Edmunds moved
to give til. the 9th of April to an
swer. Morton moved that t h c
Senate retire for consultation, which
was carried.
The Senate remained out W o
hours and ten minutes. After their
return an order was received tina t
the President would answer on the
23d of March.
The managers moved that imme.
diateiy after their replication the
trial proceed. Lost, 26 to 20. The
republicans voting nay, were An

Ter, Frelinuysen, Grimes, Hender-
son, Howe both Morrilles, Norton ,

Wickie Wiley and Conkling.
Moved that the trial commence
Immediately after replication, I'M
less the Senate grant time on cause,
carried by strict party vote. The
Court adjourned till23d inst, and
the Senate adjourned till Monday.
Chief Justice Chase governs the
Court very strictly.
The Chaplain of the Senate in his
elaborate appeal, failed to mention
the accused.
The managers were defeated in
both their attempts, first to have
the trial proceed Immediately after
thir replication regardless of the
state of preparation for the defense.
The Cort gave the accused no au-
thority of mony to sent for wines
ses. 1t was not demanded by the
defense.
The debate developed the fact
that after the President makes his
answer, on the 23d, the managers
will have to submit their replica
ton to the House before present
ing it. The Managers estimate
this routine will occupy the three
days, after which, if the Senate con-
tinues in present temper, the Presi-
dent will have liberal time for pre-
paration.
Stanbery, Curtis and Nelson,
counsel for the President, were pre-
sent, and all spoke, making very
favorable impressions.
Bingham, Butler and Wilson spoke
on the part of the Managers. But
Ter favored speed in their proceed
ings, as this was a railroad age.
Stevens, during the absence of
the Senate, rcclined on two chairs,
in a prominent position. His ter
riblc cough interrupted the interest
