WASHINGTON, D. c., July 10.-Tho impcacti-
ment proceedings to-day wcre very interesting,
and were remarkable not only for what WINS
proven against Gen. Belknap, but for tho de-
moralIzatiun aud loss Of temper oG Ills COUNSEL
Carpenter, WHO Is generally good-naturcd!y au-
t1acous, wus to-day little less than t1npertinent
to the managers and the Senate, and was weak
enough to again bring forward Ills 1ong-rankling
sensttiycness toward tho newspapers. As usual,
he l,ud Charge Of tho case Of Belknnp. md Nc
Ma!,on WIS tho leader Of the managers. The
latter conducted the examination, md
tho points TINT were developed, one
after another, wcrc very severe
on the ex-Sccrctary. Thcre was nothing for Ills
counsel to do but to Blsut their tectl aud bear
It. But Carpenter lost Ills temper, and with It
much Of Ills usual saEnclty. Ho made two or
three scoro OF objections to the questions, but
was beaten ncarIy every timo by vote of tho
Senate.
