OF IMPEACHING ANDREW JOHNSON AND TIE

10y TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The proceedings III ING
Senate in the Belknap impeachment case To-Day
were very dull and commonplace. Those VINO saw
the same ceremony in the impeachment of Andrew
Jobnson on the 4th of March, 1865 could not help
contrasting the two scenes At that time the senate
was crowded to degree never before equaed, and
the scene was an impressive Thaddeus stevens,
scarcely able on account Of his feeble condition to
stand ON his feet headed the list of managers, and
he was borne into the chamber III CHAIR
carried by the strong arms of his two constant at
PENDANTS. Ie was followed by John A. Bingham
BENZ +. Butler, Geo. $. Boutwell,, James r. wilson,
Thomas Williams, and John +. Logan, the other
managers amid silence rarely known In the
history of Congress. Every Senator in his seat,
and the great crowd in the galleries and upon the
goor seemed scarcely TO move muscle. The I'M
ncachment articles were read by Mr.. Bingham, all
The managers except Mr. Stevens standing during
The ceremony in front Of the President OF the Senate
To-day the galleries were only half 1ull ana the
attendance of Senators was small. Even those pres
ent were Indifferent 20 the proceedings some reau
papers some wrote at their desks some walked
about the Chamber few paid attention to what was
going on. The managers on lno PdIv VI 'No 'O"'N'
not in appearance a very striking body, Whatever
NAV be their ability, struggled into the Chamber
without order or arrangement, and after they were
received by the presiding officer with the ac-
custOmed rap of the gavel and formal
greeting, they struggled to tLeir seats Oh
the left of tho chair. Then Mr.. Lord
who heads the managers, rose and read the long
articles OF impeachment in low, clear voice. To
the reading nobody, not even the record reporters,
listened. When Mr.. Lord had finished, the PTesi-
dent pro ten. said that due notice would be taken
on the part of the Senate. and the managers with
drew. This was the whole ceremony which was, II
possible, more stupid and unimpressive than the
ordinary proceedings of the Senate.

FEW OBJECTIONS TO THE TARIFF BILL.

TIKI PRINCIPAL OPPOSITION FROM THE IRON AND
STEEL INTEREsTs-CoTToN AND WOODEN MEN
HAVE LITTLE TO SAY.
by TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Committee on
Ways and Means made Roadway with the Morrison
Tariff bill to-day. Representative Eames Of Rhode
Island called attention TO the proposed change In tariff
on wooden braids and read letter from OF his con
sttuents representing that the manufacture of such
brads could not nc continued in this country should the
duty be reduced proposed in this bill The present
duty such brads is so cents per pound and 90 per
cent ad vaorem Mr. Morrisons bill proposed to abolish
all valorem duty Tie manufacturers or the country
generally have shown less interest in Mr.. MorrsOns bill
than In any tariff bill Of similar proportions in the House
within the last six years. The representatives OF tLe
on steel and other metal interests have been listened
TO Committee many of them opposing the redue
ton proposed in the bill, but the opposition has been
much smaller than generally anticipated The cot
ton manufacturers Of Rhode Island have not so far as
can h~ ,,rIca written single letter Their rerrcsvn
tatycs in opposition to the proposed reduction in duty on
cotton goods and suggestions in regard to this part OF
the bill have been received from very Few manufactures
in any other part Of New-England.
The truth is the manufacture Of the coarser cotton
roods has reached that state OF perfection which enables
