undrraliyi.ion Of the question, Judge
sn,n moved tie adoption Of the articles
against Jobu $, lIurdclt, and upon his
n,don called the previous question,
treat excitement and confusion pre-.
vailed in tile House. A call Of the House
m,otIcrcl, then a call for the reading
Of die article, aud various members in.
prcc,cl all sorts OF motions, and at
ta,. lhr .lprcmest disorder prevailed.
EtIyiUtbc proceedings Speaker Mon
III. retired from the chair, calling Mr..
jordan, Of Ohio, to his place. That gen.
tcmm managed the difficulties Of the
situation with decided ability, and finally
brought q fair degree OF order out Of the
impending chaos by prompt and firm
application Of the rules. Having sue.
cecIcd in iit, he called Mr.. Campbell,
Of Hancock, to the chair. =,
The opposition then renewed the same
tactic. hut by adheriug to the rulings OF
hi. predecessor order was maintained.
Upon tie call for the adoption Of the
article. rdo'im, the first five articles were
adopted by yeas and nays, after which
the remaining articles were adopted by
ui wst, The articles having all been
thus adopted they were adopted as a
whole 4 vote was then taken upon the
conclusion, and that also was adopted.
s, Mr. John s. Burdctt, State Treasn.
ter, goc. before the Senate to be tried
upontwcniy.one articles Of impeachment,
charging him with bribery, corruption,
mnlica,mcc, mAladministratiOu, negIi.
gcncc Of duty, all included in the charge
VI high crimes and misdCmeanOrs in
Office
a mmor prevailed that he had signi.
lied hi' intention OF rcsigning his Office in
ca'e the House should order him to trial
before the Senate. How much truth
there may be in this we are unable TO
state.
Iti' probable that the House will take
final action to-day on the charges against
N""l'"T behhcll' we may say without
d'rc.pecI to the House, that the public
will not look with favor on further dis.
ca''ion Of the merits Of his case in that
body, AZ has been already satisfactorily
shown, the action Of the House neither
condemns nor acQnis the accused. In
Iactitisnotp possibIc,aitcr the discussion Of
hi' art' which has already taken place in
the House, that It's refusal to further pro.
cecd against him can at all mitigate the
Impression made upon the public mind
by thi'di'cussion. Notoven his vindica.
'ion in the Senate can entirely remove
that Impression.
