against Judge Charles Swayne, of the
northern district of Florida. The senate
is not overly we'll pleased with the duty
Of trying Judge Swayne on articles of
Impeachment which the house thrust up
on it, and it is not disposed to make the
path OF the house managers any more
pleasant than possible. In Mr.. Palmer,
however, the head OF the managers, the
senate has struck pretty cold PROPOSE

preston can be made that does not &C

wrong or propriety.
MIR. Palmer would have been a typical
Cromwellian Roundhead or an old New
England Puritan, were it not for a kindly
twinkle in his eye that relieves an other
wise austere cOuntenance. He has a
hard, sQuare-cut face, covered with a
brown beard mixed with gray, is tall.
erect, somewhat angular and decidedly
abrupt in his movements. Heis just the
sort of man that one would pick out as
being very set in his opinions after they
were formed, and devoted to his sense OF
duty. He is not awed by anybody or
court, and is just as self-possessed in adj
dressing the house or in addressing the
high court of Impeachment composed OF
dignitied senators as he is in his law OF
fees at home in Wilkesbarre, Pa. He
never gets "rattled." He never be-
trays, by the slightest change of color or
the culver of a muscle the slightest en-
barrassment, but carries himself as be-
ing the equal OF any other man. 70 mat

Eli Whitney, the inventor Of the cot

from seeing, through the interstccs of
a hut. an old Negro work handsaw
