A GENERAL MELEE.
Governor Holden occupied his usual seat among
his counsel, when Mr.. Josiah Turner, Jr editor OF
the Senti7ael was placed on the standa witness for
the managers. The fifth article or impeachment
charges Holden with the illegal arres, by Kinks
troops, OF Turner in the county of Orange which
had not been declared IL a state of insurrection

Turner stood within six feet of the Governor, and
the latter stopped to pick up his after his appeal

ana took seat In front, where he was surrounded
by Mrs Beecher Hooker, Mrs. Davis aud a large
number OF ladies well known in connection with
the women surrage movement Butler made a
very geod ngurehead, for he Is a man that can be
easily seen in crowd, no matter If 1t Is composed
entirely OF women. He looked extremely happy
and seemed to be thinking OF the excellent chance
he would have of being elected President of ths
| United States when the women shall be allowed t
| vote--that is, provided Mrs. woodruff Is net can
didate. She seems to be the head and front OF tn
movement now, having pushed aside Susan B. An
thony Cady Stanton and the others, who never cou
manage to stir up public enthusiasm ana enlls
nrominent politicians like Ben Butler In the cause
as Mrs, Woodruff has done. In addition to Butle

The World says the total eclipse OF the
sun which takes place on the llth OF
next month, visible in India and the
islands South of Asia, is already at
tracing the attention of men of science,
and instruments are being placed ~ po-
sition to seize upon all phases of phe-
nomenon during the two or three minutes
of its duration, that it may be after
wards subjected to study and specula-
ton, from which important results in
astronomical science are anticipated.
Much is expected especially of the Eng
lish expedition to Ceylon, which, with
the recent experiences in Sicily less than
a year ago to guide it, has made elabo-
rate preparations and been furnished
with all needed appliances. The yexed
question as to the nature of the bright
corona which surrounds the disc of the
moon during the observation is in fair
way to be settled if no act Of God
intervenes to thwart the efforts of the
observers. Connected with this question
is that Of the existence and nature OF
the atmosphere of the sun and the sub
stance and condition of the luminary
itself. Accurate data regarding these
will furnish basis for study and con
lecture concerning the fixed stars.
Hence the importance attached to the
phenomenon. 1t is to be hoped that the
observers will meet with all success.
