Proceedings Went On.

George +. Hoar of Massachusetts,
then member of tile house, was the
principal manager for the house, and
the impeachment proceedings were
launched despite Belknap's resignation.
The vote on the impeachment was TAX
en- on Aug. /. Thirty senators
voted guilty and twenty-five mot
guilty" AS the necessary thirds
vote was not obtained. despite the evil
dent guilt OF the accused, he cannot be
said to have been convicted. But
twentythree of the senators who vot
ed mot guilty" accompanied their
votes with an explanation that they
had voted as they did because of their
belief that by resigning he bad put
himself outside the jurisdiction of the
senatorial court Of Impeachment. II
is not generally held, however. that
the action of the senate in the Belknap
case, although it establishes a prece-
dent, is either final or binding.
There was a lapse Of almost three
decades between the impeachment Of
Secretary Belknap and that Of Judge
Charles Swayne, who was the latest
federal officer to face a court Of Inn
parchment Swayne was a judge Of
the United States district court for
the northern district of Florida. to
which post he was appointed in 1889
Early in 1903 he was charged with
classifying his expense accounts, and
In December OF that year congress or
dered an investigation. The matter
dragged along through 1904. and 1t
was December OF that year before the
house finally voted TO impeach him
Articles of Impeachment containing
thirteen counts were filed with the
senate on Jan. IL. 1905. The trial be
