| SARATOGA, July 18.-The arrival Of Messrs.
Beach and Reynolds this morning completed with John
| Townsend (whose uninentionay omitted
in Yesterdays Teport, the list Of counsel who are to
defend Judge Barnard in the present trial Judge Peck
ham and Senators Allen, Madden johnson and Fisher
who did to their names yesterday appeared
to-day and were sworn in The Court accordingly met
fully expecting and anxious TO proceed with the actual
work OF the trial but the first business brought before
the Court application by Mr. Beach for st fur her
delay the ground OF his own actual engagements IN
Albany, where be IS taking prominent part
in the argument in the Tweed Connolly, and Fields
cases, and Of the necessity for time TO confer win
his ssocates Before he had concluded he brought out
the questions which seem likely TO be settled only
by a sharp and proracted discussion. The hrt point u
the defense will be that Barnard was not regularly
impeached This very much like no point at al,
when it is record that ON May ?, on motion OF MI
Prince, the Assembly mpeaehed the corrupt Judge BY
absolute vote Of 90 to l6 and the next day who had
voted the previous day threw their votes on the
side OF the affirmative. The managers themselves attach
the slightest weight to this claim, and sharp hight
is imminent on the proposition that the articles
OF Impeachment were not adopted by ma
iorty of all the members OF the House. II -
true there was no Yea and Nay vote taken but they
adopted on a resolution, and unanimously a. Tar
it went, this is according to all parliamentary
proceedings, and is a counterpart in that respect OF
the impeachment of Gov. Holden OF North Carolina aud
Of Gov. Robinson Of Kentucky II this point II h'd
wetaken then the court will to get the proof.
It for proof of this that the Clerk OF the Assembly,
Mr. johnson, has been summoned. Then comes up no
question Of the inadmissabiity Of charges against
Barnard for corrupt conduct in Office prior to h present
term. 1t is believed that all these preliminary motions
will be disposed OF this week
