Washington, May 4.
A concurrent resolution TO diourn from Satur-
day next till Monday the 18th last, to attend the
opening of the Centennial, was considered and
laid over.
The Impeachment trial was resumed.
Mr.. Carpenter said if the court was to adjourn
next week. as proposed, it would be in the middle
Of the argument, and he had no doubt that it
would be more convenient to both sides to have
the argument postponed until the Senate re-
sembled.
Manager Lord said the managers would prefer
was to be broken by an adjournment the mana
gers would prefer to have the argument postponed
till the 18th.
Mr.. Blair contended that several U. S. judges
had resigned. and Impeachment against them had
been stopped.
After discussion the Senate refused 10 postpone
arguments-22 to 80.
Mr. Blair, of the counsel for the respondent,
then opened his argument on the question of juris-
dction, and quoted at length from the Blount case
in support of his view. He denied the power of
the Senate to try on articles of impeachment a
private citizen and quoted from various English
works on the subject of impeachment.
House.
Mr. Blaine Of Me. offered resolution directing
the committee on Ways and Means to provide for
the relief of the country from the threatened
scarcity Of fractional currency. Adopted.

ing the issue Of silver coin in exchange for green

Mr.. Kelley objected.
The message from the President, declining to
furnish the House with information to his var-
GUS absences from Washington, was read and re-
ceived with cool disdain on the democratic side
and with evident enjoyment on the republican
side.

and now it is being carried for 20 cents. 1t was
announced this afternoon that the refusal of Com
