NEw YoRK. May 25.-The San says !:
L" We are Informed that the articles Of i'm
peachment against Judge Barnard were
never finally adopted in the assembly. II
this be true they fall with the Ad ournment,
and Judge Barnard is not impeached. Con
seuuentlY there will be no trial before the
senate and the court of appeals as has been
expected For this failure the Judiciary
committe and the speaker must be held re-
sponsible. The assembly had ordered that
q vote should be taken upon the articles,
but the speaker failed to take care that this
order was executed. In his default, ii was
4
mittee to attend to this matter, since they
had prepared and introduced the articles.
Their negligence cannot easily be excused.
In every respect this republican and reform
legislature seems to have been one OF the
most discreditsbIe with which New ork
has ever been afflicted"
