Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1876-08-02

CHICAGO, July 81.
A T1Tbune's Washington special says:
Tomorrow at noon the High Cour OF
Impeachment will be opened with the
usual proclamation by the Sergeant-at-
Arms. The House of Representatives
will be notified, the minutes of the de
alterations will be read and voting will
then be commenced. The Secretary OF
the Senate will read the first article OF
impeachment and call the name OF
| Alcorn, who will rise in his place;
presiding officer Terry will say:
"Mr. Senator Alcorn, how say you,
is respondent, William. w. Belknap,
late Secretary of War, guilty or not
guilty of high crimes or misde-
meanors, as charged in this artlcle?"
Senator Alcorn will then reply guilty
or not guilty, and by the decision
adopted to day, can give his reason
therefor in one minute. The name of
the next Senator will then be called
alphabetically, and the same routine
be observed until all the Senators have
voted. Terry will then announce the
vote, and say: "Two-thirds of the
Senators having pronounced Guilty
VIM. w. Belknap is therefore found
guilty on this article" or he will say;
'Two-thirds of the Senators not hav-
ing pronounced Guilty" William w.
Belknap is therefore acquitted on this
article.o The Indications are that the
latter will be the verdict, not only on
the first, but on on the other three ar
ticles. Over thirty Senators will vote
squarely, guilty, but not two-thirds, as
several will vote not guilty, believing
that the Senate has no jurisdiction,
though there may also be a few who
will dodge the vote.
In the EIouse-The silver Bill.
WASHINGTON, July 81.
During the time allotted in the House
to-day for private bills a dozen mem
bers were on their feet claiming the
floor for as many different purposes.
Several had resolutions repeating the
Resumption act.
Kelly desired to obtain another vote
on his bill ~remonetizing the silver dol
lar. The House, however, abruptly
adjourned. which made the initiation
lists indignant-a state of mind they
did not endeavor to conceal.
The advocates of the Silver bill seem
to have changed their tactics since last
week. Convinced that their bill can
not pass under a suspension of the
rules before the close of the session,
they now seem disposed to allow de-
bate on it. In view of this act several
of the ableSt members of the House,
who are opposed to all the silver bills,
have prepared speeches which they
will deliver if opportunity offers.

New YORK, Aug. l..
A special to'the New York World of
the LIST, from Toronto, says: Lord Duff
fern left Ottawa to-day, bound on a
special visit to British Columbia. The
Vice Regal party on the occasion CON
sists of his Excelleucy and Countess
of Dufferin, Col. Littleton, Capt. Ham
ilton, Capt. Ward and private secre-
- D..-.t .A.n mona nftnnhnI n,
the regular train at the Ottowa depot,
where their Excellencies were received
and saluted on their departure by Gov.
Genevols, of the Foot Guards, with
music, colors flying, discharges of ar
tillery, and hearty cheers. AT the sta
tons along the Grand Trunk road loyal
Canadians turned out to pay their re-
spects to the most genial and accom-
plished of Viceroys upon his first visit
to the British population of the re-
mote Pacific coast. British Column

receive him. They hope to arrive on
the 9th or 10th at San Francisco, thence
by British man-of-war for Victoria.
Minister ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
New York, Aug. L.
Moran, Minister to Portugal, has ar
rived in England, much shattered IN
health. 1t is feared his working days
are over. .
Vanderbilt was considerably worse
last night.
The Currency Bill.
A Times Washington special says
the House Committee on Banking and
Currency meets again tomorrow, but
il seems certain that no definite action
will be taken on the bill for the repeal
of the Resumption act. 1t is even as.
serted, with seemingly good authority,
that a letter has been received from
Tilden, or some speaking for him
in which the request is made that nc
party action shall be taken upon the
bill this session. 1t Is said this re-
quest is based upon the understanding
had at Saratoga between Tilden and
Hendricks, and that it is considered as
settled that there will be no further
agitation of this question during the
present session.. The letter has been
cautiously spoken of among leading
Democrats, but few have seen it.
