SECOND EDITION,
Launch OftIte Columbia.

THE IRON STEAMBOAT COLUMBIA "
LAUNCHED AT THE H. s. H., COM
PANY's YARD.
At 1880 o'clock, this morning, the
steamboat Columbia was successfully
launched at the yard of the Harlan &,
Hollingsworth Company, in the pres
ence of large number of spectators.
The Columbia is an iron hull side
wheel passenger steamer, for the Phil
adelphia and Bristol line. Her dimen-
sions are as follows: Length, 225 feet;
breadth of beam, 20 feet; depth OF
hold, 9 feet six inches. She will be
completed as day boat, with short
saloon aft on the guard deck, connect
ed by stairway with large saloon on
the upper deck. The vessel will be
handsomely finished in hard wood.
The machinery will consist of one
working beam, jet condenser engine,
with 81 feet stroke, and a cylinder so
inches in diameter. 1t will also have
the Sickle's variable independent cut
off. Steam will se furnished by one
return tubular boiler, capable of sup.
plying steam at q pressure of 45 pounds.
The work of completion will be rap
idly pushed forward, and the Columbia
when ready for trips, will be in all re
spects one of the handsemest passen-
ger steamers ON the Delaware river.

Another Upset for Blaine.

TILT WITH TUCKER, OF VIRGINIA, IN
WHICH THE "FAvoRITE SON" GETS
woRsTED.
WASHINGTON, April lin the House
Of Representatives to-day there was an
intense interest over the case of Halle.
Kilbourn. The debate was very able.
General Hooker, who is rapidly taking
rank as one Of the best speakers of the
body, made good speech in favor of the
proposition that the House ought not to
surrender kilbourn to the court. Ran
dolph Tucker, of Virginia, made the
speech of the day, gaining victory over
Mr.. Blaine, who came over TO the Demo
cratic side Of the House expressly to
have tilt with Mr.. Tucker. Beaten
upon the legal point Mr.. Blame fell back
upon the war issue, but made nothing
out of it. fuckers rejoiner was in per-
feet temper, overwhelming Blaine alike
with law, logic and ridicule till nothing
of him was left for the House to laugh
at or pity. The final decision of the
House was to surrender the prisoner to
the Court. The most thoughtful mem-
bers deem this mistake. The belief is
that Judge Carter will release Knbourn
on the pretence of holding him to bail to
answer for a violation Of the statute,
when in due time jury will be packed
to acquit him.

From the Cincinatti Gazette (Rep. 1.-The
man cannot be a close observer of cur

contest, lies overwhelmingly with those
who will demand, as u condition of their
support, a candidate of high repute and

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE beginning
OF the impeachment trial of ex-Secretary
Belknap attracted vast concourse of
people to the Capitol this morning. At
10 o'clock the Capitol grounds were
the ladies were magnificent, and Lent
being ended the fiar ones deemed it no
sin to try to outrival each other by live
ly demeanor as well as in dress. Even
on the floor Of the Senate more swallow
tail coats might be observed than usual.
Belknap looked in excellent health, and
bore no evidence Of the mental prostra-
tion which he SO acutely evinced when
the exposure of his disgrace was made
He was attired in close-fitting suit Of
black, and his one form and face as he
took his seat, were admired by all. He
evinced not the slightest discomposure,

constructed as such. Matt Carpenter
dress, excepting kid gloves, and his white
necktie hung conspi"iously over his shirt

on the ex-Seeretary and deep red color
flTshed to his cheek. He was growing

and addressed the president protempere,
Mr.. Belknap seemed to resume his orig

the Clerk to read Mr.. Belknap's reply,
which was, as nearly every one had ex-
pected, a statement that, having resign
ed his office, and being citizen of the
State of Iowa, the Senate had no juris-
diction to try him. Mr.. Lord, on behalf
Of the managers, asked for time to con-
slider the proposition of the defense, and
a resolution adjourning the Court of I'm
peachment TO Wednesday next at half
past twelve o'clock was adopted. Thus
the scene terminated. The galleries
were speedily emptied, the members re-
turned to the House and the Senate ad-
| Iiourned.
