STEPHENS- GENERAL ECEEBT LEE S ESTATE AT AELTN G TON-APEATE S IN CONGBESS. WASHINGTON, March 15.-In the Supreme Court the case of the City of Nashville vs. Cooper, from the Circuit Court of Middle Ten? nessee, the previous judgment tva3 reversed. There were no proceedings in the MeArdle case. A new Georgia biil was tiled by leave of the court. In a cass from Nevada the court decided that a State has no right to levy a capitation tax on passengers. Ihi3 decision affects Maryland and New Jersey, who have a tas on railroad pas? sengers. The Revenue receipts to-day were $550,000. Hon. A. H. Stephens visited the President to-day. General Lees estate at Ailingtou will te di? vided into lots of five and ten acres acd rented to regroes. Alabama's admission was jaot mentioned in tl e House to-day. CONGBESSJONAL. Under thc regular call cf the House, the fol? lowing bills were introduced : A bill for erect? ing a marine hospital at Cairo; for repealing the provision of the judiciary act, forbidding appointments until the Judges of the Supreme Court are reduced to six. A preamble and sixteen resolutions, a hind of declaration of principles, was introduced by Boss, of Illinois, who moved the previous ques? tion, but it was not seconded. Then, for the purpose of getting a direct vote, a move was made to lay them on the table, but it was de? feated-ayes 8, nays 123-and it was referred to the Judiciary Committee. The rules maybe suspended at any time dur? ing the impeachment trial for the considera? tion of business pertaining thereto. The House bill relieving certain parties from political disabilities was resumed. Several names were added, including John A. Gilmer, as ? reward for having opposed the Lecompton swindle. It transpired during the debate that the bul dees not remove the disabilities impos? ed by tha forurteenth article. Beck made a point that, under the Garland case, the Su? preme Court decided that a general amnesty did work what was proposed by this bill. Bingham said that the Supreme Court could ODly decide cases that were brought before it, but could make no decision which could ope? rate on the House or Senate. Without action the House adjourded. Is THE SENATE the Georgia Convention , asked the loan of one hundred thousand dol? lars. The South Carolina Convention asked that the duty ou rice should not be repealed. Hore negroes applied for assistance to go to Liberia. Hr. Fowler introduced a bill for the survey of the Mississippi River, from Cape Girardeau to the mouth, for the location of levee lines, and asking an appropriation of a quarter million. The Committee on Commerce reported an amendment to the House tax bill retaining the tax on turpentine, sugar refineries, candies and confectionery, and afterwards adjourned.

THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL. LAST FRIDAT^S~PROCEEDINGS. EXCITING SCENES DI WASHINGTON. OPENING Or THE COUBT OF D?PEACHHENT. APPEA3ANCE OF THE SENATE CHAUBEE-THE PRESIDENT BEQUESTS TO BE ALLOWED FOBTS DAYS TO PBEPA3E FOB PHIAL-INTEBESTTNG AEGC2TENTS-THE SENATE BETTBES TO CONSULT ON THE APPLICATION-THETA DECISION-ONLY TEN DATS ALLOWED THE PRESIDENT TO ANSWEB HIGHLY TNTEBESTTNG DETAILS, ?C. The Washington correspondent of the Balti* mere Sun, writes to that paper, under date 0/ Friday night : This being the day for the President to re? spond to the impeachment summons, there was much excitement about the capitol build? ing this mcn?np, especially about the Senate ; wmg, where thc passages were all crowded ? with persons seeking admission. The Senate chamber was so metamorphosed ? by the arrangements which had been made for 1 the trial that it could scarcely be recognized. 1 On the right and lett of the chair were placed long tables for the accommodation of the im- ? peachment manager? and the President's conn- ; eel. All the vacant space on the floor was oc? cupied with cane-seat ch rare for the acoommo- | dation of members of the House, while the ? eofas were advantageously disposed for such Cabinet officers and othe.v high privileged oui- < ci?is as might be present. A cordon of police was stretched all around the capitol, a nie of \ soldiers tramped back and forth, every corri? dor and vestibule of the magnificent building < swarmed with uniformed officers of the law, ; and at every entrance leading to the Senate j wing, and each tangle door of the floor and gal? lery, stood the doorkeopers, with the bright star guttering on the breast, to prevent the passage of those who did not possess the 1 talismanic piece of pasteboard. Before reach- 1 ing the presence chamber admission tickets had to be shown no lesa than three times. In the avenues leading to the capitol, in : the rotunda, and on the House side might [ be seen large crowds sauntering carelessly along, and seemingly not at all envious of their more privileged fellow-citizens, who possessed the open sesame to the other wing. There was no ru. h at all on the Senate side, as it was well known that under the regulations adopted, those who had tickets would experi? ence no difficulty in obtaining seats. Ai twelve o'clock everything wan very quist in the chamber; a few straggling senators were in their seats, and the galleries were not half filled. The rest of the ticket holders came in leisurely during the morning hour, and at one o'clock the galleries were fibed, and presented a most magnificent sieht. Although the weather was gloomy, many of the fair sex had done honor to the occasion by appearing in their new spring attire. The diplomati: gal? lery was occupied principally by the attaches of the different legations. Conversation was carried cn in so loud a tone during the consid? eration of the legislative business that Mr. Wade threatened more than once to order the clearing of the galleries, which did not, how? ever, seem to intimidate the fair culprits in tho least. A noticeable fact was the entire absence of the colored citizens, the whole upturned line of faces being unrelieved by a single dark coun? tenance. At 124 o'clock, several verbal mes? sages from the President was received bv the hands of Colonel Moore, one of the private secretaries, and it was immediately whispered around the galleries, "Tho President has sem in his resignation," and other equally improb? able surmises. The usual legislation was pro? ceeded with up to the hour of 1 o'clock, but the minds of the senators seemed far away, and a number of bfils were passed, without a soul having the least idea what they contained. Punctually at 1 o'clock Mr. Wade rapped his gavel and vacated bis chair; punctually at 1 o'clock Mr. Chief Justice Chase, in his robes, entered from the rear and seated himself, snd with a single rap transformed the body before him from the Senate to thc Eigh Court of Im? peachment. * The proclamation commanding silence waa made, the journal of the proceedings of the court on Friday last was reed, the senators who had not been sworn qualified as members of the court, tho impeachment managers came in and took the seats assigned them, and the various formalities were gone through in or? der. Tho calling ol the President of the United States by name by the sergeant-at arms, in the summons to appear and answer th'j charges, was very impressive. The coun? sel for the President then entered from the door on the right of the chair and proceeded to seat themselves at the table on the same side. But three of them were able to be pres? ent. Messrs. Stanbery, Curtis and Nelaon. They attracted some" attention as they came m and tcok thea- Places, Mr. Stanberv, as the senior counsel, taking the chair at the right end oi ?ha table. Mr. St?nbery then read, in a low and measured tone, the reply of the President and the request tor forty day? time m which to answer. This request was received with evident dis s&tiEtactiou, several senators even ?oing so far as to snake their heads, whilo a "few of the Radicals of the Honsu uttered audible ex? clamations of dissent. As was to he expected, Mr. Burgham and his colleagues made hitter opposition to the very reasonable request of the President, and Mr. Bingham had the effrontery io accuse Mr. Stanbery with exhibit? ing temper, when the manner of that gentle? man couid not possibly be open lo anv such criticism. After a brief discussion of this mat? ter the Sonate retired fer consultation. In the interval the galleries s.At very patk ntlv. ind the time waa beguiled in .-onversaticn. The impeachment managers and a larre number of '.Le marchers of the House remained ea tho flour, and were busily engaged in discussing the probable tims :h*,- Senate would allow. Stevens was soon surrounded by a group whom he declaimed in the most excited rx ner, insisting that the Senate should aile TI time whatever. Mr. Bingham looked exceedingly wise seemed to toke it for granted that the Sei would sustain his views of the matter. Bun: were brought out at various intervals af what the Senate would do, and bets were fi ly offered and taken in tba reporters' gall naming periods from thirty days down to se*. The appearance of the galleries was not uri that of a well-dressed audience at the tbei during the intervals of the opera scenes, cept that the music was lacking, and mani the ladies expressed regrets that the Mai Band was not present to contribute to the pl? ure of the occasion by the performance some of their choice selections. As "the hi of four approached the galleries commeni to thin out somewhat, and Hr. Thad. Steve who had gone out in the corridor for a pror nade, came in and resumed his seat at I table. The counsel of tho President remained m of the time at their desk, and engaged in CK versation with such of the House members approached them. Fernando Wood and I Stanbery talked together for a long time, few minutes before i Mr. Wade came in fin the marble room, where the Senate was, a brought the news that it was pretty sure tl but ten days would be allowed, and which t ?eared to giv9 the deepest gratification to t House managers. Considerable curiosity ** manifested as to the movements of Mr. Chai many contending that he had no right to i tire with the Senate, while others took thee pc site ground. It seems that Mr. Chase d go in, but he did not vote. Mr. Wade abstai ed from voting in the secret seBBion, as al on the different questions in the open sessic but it is understood from most reliable sourc that he only proposes withholding his vc when it not needed. This may be delicacy, as asserted by some bis particular friends, out there are those wi cannot see it in that light. Finally, after i abeence of two hours, the Senate returned its chamber, and the Chief Justice announci that it had decided only to allow the resp:, dent ten days in which to answer. There no denying that this action took many by sa prise, though but a confirmation of the stat ment made above, and the disappointment the President's counsel was plainly evident ; their changed countenances. Mr. Binghax elated by what he might justly regard as great triumph, got up and offered a mo tic that the trial be proceeded with immediate! upon the hiing of the application of the Hom managers, ard this was voted down by tt close vote of 25 to 26. Other motions were made, and, finally, aft? a characteristic speech by Mr. Butler, and few remarks by Mr. Nelson, an order wt adopted that the trial shall be proceeded wit immediately, or the filing of the replicatioi unless otherwise ordered. Tho court then ac journed nut ] March ?3d, ten days hence. The galleries were immediately emptied, an the large police force which had been on dut all day were dismissed. There is much talk about the action of th Senate to-night, and the genual impressio: seems to be that it dees not augur favorabl for Mr. Johnson. It is understood that tb order naming ten days was not adopted by very large majority of the Senate, and tba several of the more moderate of the Bepubli cans advocated the granting of a longer time It will be seen that the solid Radical vote wa cast for the crier, which was adopted, aa men tioned above, but a number of the Republican say that it does not preclude them from votinj to give the President more time. DETAILED PEOCEEDrSOS OF THE COTJET OF TM PEACTTTTTy T. At 1 o'clock the President pro tem. of th< Senate said the chair would now be vacated foi the Chief Justice of the United States. The Chief Justice then entered and took thc chair of the presiding officer, and directed thc sergeant-at-arms to make proclamation. The eergeant-at-arms.-Hear ye ! hear ye! bear ye I All persons are oommanded to keep silence while the Senate of the United States ls sitting on the trial of articles of impeach nent exhibited by the House of Bepsesenta ives against Andrew Johnson, President of .he United States. The eergeant-at-arms here announced the nan ag ers of impeachment on the part of the Souse of Representatives. The Chief Justice.-The managers of im* peachmeat will cerne forward and take the seats provided for them. A large number of the members of the House }f Representatives here entered. The Chief Justice-The Secretary will call the roll of senators who have not been sworn. The Secretary then called the roll of those who had not been sworn, commencing with air. Doolittle, who was not present. The re? naming senators were tben sworn, as follows: Mr. Edmunds, of Vermont; Mr. Patterson, of New Hampshire; Mr. Vickers, of Maryland. The Chief Justice.-The Secretary of the Senate will read the return of the sergeant-at irma. The Secretary then read: The foregoing writ of summons, and the foregoing precept, addressed to me, were duly served by me on Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, at the executive mansion, bis usual place cf abede, on Saturday, March 7th instant, a: tho hour of seven o'clock in the afternoon. GEO. T. BROWN, Serge an t-at-Arms of the Senate. The Chief Justice.-Tho sergeant-at-arms will now cal] the accused. The Sergeant-at-Arms.-Andrew Johnson, President o? the United States ! Andrew Jobs? Bon, President of the United States ! appear and answer to the articles of impeachment ex? hibited against you by the House of Represen? tatives of tho United States. After a short interval, Mr. Johnson, of Mary? land, rose and moved that the counsel for the defence be notified tc enter the chamber; and the motion was adopte 1. Messrs. Stanbery, Nelson and Cartis appear? ed as counsel for the President, ar.a took the setts assigned them. At 1.20 P. M. the sergeant-at-anns officially announced the members of the House of Rep? resentatives, and tho remainder of that body entered and took seats. The Chief Justice-Tho counsel of the President will now put in their reply to the articles of impeachment. Mr. Stanbery-Mr. Chief Justice, my broth? ers, Mesera. Curtis and Nelson, and myself, are here as conns*] for Andrew Johnson, President of the United States. I have his authority to answer to the articles of .mpeachment, and with your leave will read. Mr. Stan berry then read : "Ju ihe Halter oftte Impea&menioJ Andrew Johnson, Pr aident of the United ?'tale; : "I, Andrew Johnson, having been served with a summons to appear before the Senate to answer the articles o? impeachment, etc., etc., hereby enter my reply through my coun? sel, Henrv Stanhary, J. S. Black, William M. Evarts, E." A. Curtis and Thoma* A. B. Nelson, who are instructed by me to answer to this summons, and to ask a reasonable tune in which to appear and answer to the articles which have been prepared.'' The reply furtaer says that alter a careful examination of tbe article*, and a full consul? tation with hiB counsel, he (tho President) is satisfied that at least forty days will be requir? ed :n which to answer ?aid articles, and most respectfully asks that that time will be allowed him. Ihe Chief Justice-The application will bc considered as requested. Mr. Stanbery then continued, in support of the apolicaticn. Eu (Henry Stanbery), Benja? min E.* Currie, J. S. Black, Wm. M. Evarts and T. A. B. Nelson, acting as counsel for Andrew Johnson, beg leave to make the following state? ment : "The articles of impeachment are eleven in number, involving many questions of law and tact. The counsel have arrived at thc con? clusion that with the utmost diligence and dis? patch they can bring to their task, tho time asked for "is reasonable and should be granted. The present respondent was ignorant of the charges against him until within a few days. His time Li much engrossed with his public duties, and he has but the few minutes ne eau spare rrom them to comer with his counsel. 'Ac counsel further beg ?eave to submit thal as lawyers, careful of then- own reputation, and acting upon their conscience, they submit to the candid consideration of the court teat the respondent has .a right to ask for the time named. Mr. Bingham objected to granting the prayer of the respondent under the operation of the stb rule, adopted by the Senate for the conduct Of this trial. After the appearance of the ac? cused at '.ho bar of tba Senate, no application cf this nature can be aiiowed, unless the ??th rule ? set aa?de. The niansiicers of impeach? ment hero at the bar ol'the "Senate maintain that the 3th rule signifie?) precisely what it says, jj' ;he defence had faked to appeal1, the mal would har .- gene on as if a plea of not guJrv hid teen intered; and. the accused aa ing appeared, the effect is the same. Tt muet"go on, and no time tor preparatic be allowed. , . . m Mr. Curtis addressed the Chief Justic said if the construction which the manag impeachment place on this rule is corree counsel for the President have been ei mislead. They have construed the rule i practice provides in courts of equity, j never been held that a bill of complaint be announced on tbe day of appearance, day to appear and answer is either fix? some general rule, or there is to be a s order in the case. The counsel for the I dent contend that the part of the 8th rn toting to the answer has reference to a f proceeding, as we have assumed. The counsel for the President therefon mit that tne.interpretation of the 8th ru construed by by the managers of imp ment, is not correct. Mr. Wilson briefly endeavored to contn the position of Mr. Curtis. He expresse great surprise that it was possible fe learned counsel to so construe tho rule. Mr. Stanbery said the objection on the of the managers was of so singular a char that he bad not, in the whole course o practice, ever heard anything like it. case like this, when the President of the ted States is arraigned by the House of B< 8entatives, it is proposed to treat it as an i nary case before a police court, and to p through with railroad speed. Where do gentlemen And a precedent for such actic is proposed in this case ? We have been : monea to appear here on a certain day, ar have appeared, but say we arc not prepare answer, and we ask time. We have appe I to answer, and do not wish the case to g default, but all we ask is a reasonable t It bas not been many clay s since the Presi received his summons. Two of his co anse not now present, and one, at least, has no! arrived in the rity,and we say, therefore, tba are not prepared to proceed with the trial. > let us Bee whether the rule, if construed to letter, would operate to prevent this posrp* ment. Article 9 of the rules commence? follows : "At twelve o'clock and thirty mini afternoon of the day appointed for the rel of the summons against the person im pe ad &c." Article 10 says "the person impeac shall then be called to appear and answer, i Kow, construe the letter of the rule, and tni bot the return day, and the person impeac has appeared, by his counsel to answer, asks further time to prepare that answer, another rule, the 11th, it is prescribed that twelve o'clock and thirty minutes afternooi the day appointed 'or the trial of the impea ment, etc." It seems, therefore, that the n themselves recognize two days-one of t and one of anjwer, and this is the day for return of the summons and not the t day, and the letter of one rule tbref answers the letter of the other. The Pri dent bas not yet had sufficient time to p pare an answer to the charges. His time j been famf occupied in getting counsel and consultation with those whom be propoi should bo bis counsel. All of the latter hi not yet bad time or opportunity to fully exa ine the charges, and had no reason to exp that such great haste would be urged. Nc if the honorable managers will go back to i peachment trials in the very worst days a under the very worst phases, they will fi that English fair play always prevailed, a ample time was given to answer all ch arg Another reason why this postponement shot be allowed was that no witnesses bad yet be summoned; and, indeed, tba defence did r well know yet who to summon. And now v the managers still insist that wo must be foi ed to proceed? "Strike, but bear me." Gi us the same opportunity and the same adva tages allowed in common civil cases, where least thirty days is allowed for an answer; gi us a reasonable time and a lair bearing, ai there will then be no cause, whatever ford; satisfaction. For one, he would say that ! could not, in justice, proceed with so imrx tant a trial in such speed-such baste-wit out giving it a more harsh term. The Chief Justice said he was somewhat ez barrassed with the construction of some of t] rules. The 21st rule prescribed that the ca on each side should be opened by one perso but be understood that to appiy whim tbe te tirnpny was all ?j; and be construed anotb rule to meab Chat all preliminary question should be argued not to exceed one hour c each side. He was not fully satisfied wbethi that was to apply the bouse rule to each sic or to each counsel who chose to speak. I new of an embarrassment upon those .qua tiona, therefore, he had allowed considerab latitude to debate, and would continue to do t unless otherwise ordered by the Senate. Mr. Bingham said the rules adopted by tl Senate were a law to themselves, and no con mon law principles could be properly ap-lie to the case. The Senate had presented rule for the government of the trial, and he waate to see whether, at the very threshold of th business, a very plain rule was to be disregard ed. He was surprised at the manner in whic his learned friend bad argued this matter. H seemed to couple together in one link the az swer to the summons and the trial. No on pretended that this was the day for the tria We cannot consider the question of trial c the time of the trial until the pleas be plead ed; for it depends upon the plea whethe there will be a trial. If a plea of guilty, fo instance, were entered, there would be no ne cessity for discussing the question of the rna at all. It will be time enough to tal about the trial when the pleas are in and th issue ?3 made up. The rule adopted by tb Senate is a plain one, and there is nothing ii the 10th and 11th rules to limit the opera tion of the other rule which requires ai answer upon tins day. All the managers asi on the part of the Ho cse of representatives ii that a plain rule sholl oe strictly enforced, and that the case shall not be postponed for fort: days, ?ind at the end of that limo to be met perhaps, by a dilatory plea as to whether thiE is the Seaato of the United States. The sum' mons was issued six days ago, and the Presi? dent has had ample time to reply. The actior of this body does not limit the plea to be en< tered, and under a general plea of not guiltj even' conceivable defence may bo made. He saw "no reason, therefore, why thc rule should not he enforced and the accused be compelled to answer. No other gentleman rising to speak, thc Chief Justice said tbe counsel for the Presi dent had asked a continuance of forty days ir which to prepare their answer. The rule re? quires thai tho question shall te taken without debate. All m favor of the motion say aye, and Mr. Morton moved that the Senate retire foi consultation. This motion was agreed io, and at 2 o'clock the senators retired to the maible room :'oi consultation. At four o'clock the senators re-entered the Senate chamber, and the Chief Justice resumed his chair. The Chief Justice then addressed the coun? sel lor the President and notified them that tha Senate had declined to grant the request for forty days' tims in which to prepare to answer the articles of impeachment, and then directed the secretary to read the order agreed upon by tllG SfiH&*G The secretary thea read thc order, which re? quires the respondent to hie his answer on or before the 23d day of March instant. Mi1. Ringham said he was instructed by the managers o? the impeachment on the part of the House ol' Representatives to offer the fol? lowing order : "Ordered that upon thenhng of a replication by thc* managers of the House ot Representa? tives to th? answer of Andrew Johnson, Presi? dent of the United Slates, ta thc articles ex? hibited against him by the Boase of Represen? tatives, tho trial ot said articles o? impeach? ment shall proceed forthwith/' The Chief Justice pm the question, and an? nounced that it was decided in the negative. Hr. Sherman offered an order that thc trial of the articles of impeachment shall be pro? ceeded with on the Oth day of April. Mr. Butler desired ;o know il'the managers of the House had the risht to be heard cn this motion. Mr. Sumner-Unquestionably. The Chief Justice replied that ho considered the managers had a right to address the noun on the nijtion. Mr. Butler said he represented the House of Representatives, and tue House ot Represen? tatives represented the people cf the United State-} ia pressing an carly tr-al of the accused -m urcs?ing to as speedy a termination as possible this most .niportant case. The state of the country, the :nt---rest of the people, all seem to urge "a speed; trial. 'ike ordinary delays of tbe .aw, the usual melons and nues of a cour., have no applica? tion whatever to this case, for this reason, if for no other, that when ordinary question* are involved, where no great interests are at stake, tbcr-j :-. no danger to :hc common weal in the dela*'; the reoubiie can naffer no detriment. Sui "herc iaVH.?u*? oi I^eprescniatiYcs have presented at the bar of the Senate, in the solemn form, articles of impeachment ai the chief ruler of the nation, and they i your judgment upon it. That he ia wi< powers which do not belong to him; i?at recreant to the best interests of the n; that he is acting in a manner detxitnen the peace and safety of the country, arc he still purposes thus to act, we do not b( can admit of any doubt, or do we dont ability to prove it; and we contend thai necessities of the occasion call for an imi ate determination of this question. Sir, wbo is the viminal i I beg poi don respondent? He is the Chief Magistral the nation. For the first time in tba liste the world bas a people brought its ru er t bar of its highest court ; and, therefore precedents which may be cited fail to ban proper bearing on the disposition of the < don. He is the commander of youl aro he controls, through hiB subord?nales, treasury: he controls your navy; be con all the elements of your power as a nation, controls your foreign relations, and zr ay ai time, if it so suits him, seriously csmpli them, even while be is arraigned at y o ru for high crimes and misdemeanors; and, r me, sir, the great question at issue now principal charge upon which be is ar raign is whether be shall be able of his ova wj 1 control your armies against your wis! ?es an defiance of your laws-whether he shill coi the great military arm of the counfcy to 3 ruin, and to the ruin of tbe country. E.e will now recognize the Secretary of War, vhom 1 body and whom Congress has declared U the legal Secretary of War, and while he appointed a secretary ad interim, bil dare recognize him, and thus to-day the Thole chinery of the War Department ie stop] Large numbers of the gallant office rs of v army whom you have confirmed, cam ot rec< their commissions because be wiT not is them through the proper channel Yet T this chaotic state of affairs-with the wheel government clogged-yon are asked to g him forty days in which to answer the chai which have been laid against him, Forty da as long a time as it took God to destroy whole world; and then, after the forty dayi ?ranted, the learned and subtle co ansel v y all tbe means in their power, delay course of justice as much longer a) they i able. Tbe pulse of the nation beats inpertur tion at the course of this oonstitt tiona! 1 anomalous proceeding. When Congress ste its pulse beats feebly; when Congre- s goes its pulse beats freer. Everything is at a sta still tbe spring business is paraljzud, and confidence can be felt until this matter wb is engaging tbe attention of Cong:-ess is s tied one way or the other. Still tie anxii flutterings of the pub he pulse by bringing t] respondent to justice, from which Gol sena b good deliverance, if be so deserves it, at 1 earliest possible moment. Fa the trial at early day, and when he comes forward ber e a under his oath urges that he cann Dt prone: prepare for bis defence withouttin e is git him, then, in God's name, give bim i.U the til he justly ought to have. But be Ch's. B.) ri pectfully submitted, dont, in advancs, give hi this time before he comes here and Droves tl it is essential. God forbid that we should d prive bim of a single right, or of 1 single : dulgence consistent with the pu bbc safe We ask thai no more should be -equired tbe part of the respondent than was required the managers, we are perfectly 'riling ot selves to be guided by the same ruin. Tbe great act for which the rerpondent arraigned here was committed on the 21st February; the House of Representatives dei with it on the 22d; on the ?th of ll arch we, managers, appeared here at your 'car and pi eented the articles of impeaebmer t. We a here, ready to proceed with the tritL We a ready to emulate the example of th 3 rightec judge who, for tbe good of bis country,/devot twenty-two hours a day to the tria.. God gi ing us strength, we stand here r jady to gi twenty-two ont of twenty-four hears to th trial, until it is brought to a conclusion. I knows all about this matter-knowt more tbi we do now-and we ask that we bu allowed go on with the trial. Pardon one other simple suggestion. I hoped that hereafter no man won id say tb tbe charges upon which tba ai shies "of 11 peaobment were brought are frivol sus, unsu ??tai. tia ted, and devoid of respect ability. V have the highest authority that tbny are otbe wise. Here we have the spectacle of learn? counsel, eminent lor their legal acumen, coo ing in here and averring on their word th: the charges are so crave and im] ?ort ant thi it will require at least forty day 1 to ans wi them. So grave, so serious are thuy, that tb able and eminent counsel confess tl eir inabilil to properly reply to them in less than fort days. lithe minds of the Senate wert now nut t tbe true poise, justice must besa tinned by a immediate trial. The country waits quiet, tb country needs quiet, and it can on? y be secure by a speedy termination of this q aestion I siter a fair bearing of the char tes, tbe res pondent is adjndged not guilty and goes bei oe it so; the country will then have quiet; if b is. found guilty, let it so be; the country wi then have quiet. Let us deal with this matte as one in which the life of the nation bangs ii the scale. No ?nea trial ever engaged the at tention of tbe world before. Mr. Nelson, as one of the co ?nsel for tb President of the United States, hud in comic; here endeavored to divert bis mind of any ide: that he was about to engage in a political dis enssion, but that be was to appeal before a tri bunal of men who are sworn as judges, not a; partisans. Having thus come ber ;, ne was un der the impression that there wa j much f orci in some of the remarks of the honorable man ager (Mr. Butler) in reference to Ibis tribunal It should not be guided by the ron and rign rules of the law, but should be dsposed to al low the largest liberty, not only to the counse for :ne defence, but to the managers of th< House of Representatives; that ii should no stand upon forms of evidence or t< chnica! rnlei that prevailed in other courts. Instead o'. this, every one would say that t was propel and right that much mor9 liberty should be allowed by the Senate of tbe natic n. What do we ask for and on behalf of th? President of the United States? We ask sim? ply time for bis defence, and ic this mattel and upon all kindred questions, upon whose judgment must the President rely except upon that of his counsel, who are best presumed te know when he is ready to answer, or ready tc proceed to trial ? Now, we have leserted here unon our professional honor, in tbe presence of this Senate, in the presence ot the House ol Representatives, and in tbe presence of the whole world, that it will require ibe number oi days ot preparation stated in tie paper nre sented to tbe court. Are these cfc arges against tbe nighest officer in the land 0 oe rushed through with railroad speed, an 1 without the same time fer preparation that wc uid be accord? ed to any criminal in the land ? He did not be? lieve tho Senate would refuse t ae time asked for. He knew tba: ibis honorable Senate would, in justice to themselves and to tho country they represent, conduct this whole investigation in such a w:iy as to stamp the impression of honor and justice upon their memories fer all time. This is an exalted tribunal, and he felt an in? creased pride in his country that they were en? abled to assemble hero for zhc. purpose they did, .ind in the way they did. It is an unusual spectacle, and one to be ever remembered, that a ruler of a people, when arraigned in proper form, by the representatives of tee people, comes here peacefully to answer the charges preferred against him; and he comes, too. with confidence that this august tribunal will deal with him in all justice and honer. He hoped the time asked by counsel tor the accused would be given,and that this whole proceeding would bc c;nduc;ed with due gravity and deco? rum. Mr. Conkling desired to amend the pending motion by tbe following order: Ordered, teat unlees otherwise ordered, the trial of the pending impeachment shall proceed immediately after the replicat: on to th e an? swer shall be filed. Mr. Bingham said be was inntructed by the managers to say that the order of Mr. Conk? ling met with their hearty ipprovaL He would call tbe attention of the court to the fact that a similar order waa made at the impeach? ment of Judge Chase. Tho nanagere would leave this whole nutter with 'he Senate, but, without intending any disre spect, be would say that the action oi thia lody bad taken them somewhat by surprise. TLC House of Representatives asked tnat no delay should in? terpose between the people c-i the United States und the Pr?sident, who was on trial, and it therefore strs.k them wita surprise that such a proposition as thu should be made by a member ol the court, when no application for it uad oecn made by thc accused. It is time a motion was made lor a delay of forty days in which to dis an answer, and the Senate, hav.Eg fired the day when the answer shouid be ii:ed. -it might have rested 'here, and let the coTinsci ?or thc- a??w?d .stow CR?S? ft* a farther postponement. He saw no good reason for the postponement of this question. If the President be innocent, the fact will soon be known to the country and to the world, and the accused has a right to, and must have, a speedy deliverance, ana the country must be relieved of this excitement But if, on the other hand, the President is guilty of the great crimes charged against him, no one in this Senate or out of it would wish him an hour longer to hold and disgrace the place which has been held by the noblest and oest in the land. We do. not wish to act with any indecent haste upon this subject, but at the same time we do not wish to be subjected lo any unreasonable delay. The question was then taken on Mr. Conk hug's order as an amendment to Mr. Sher? man's order, and it was agreed to by a vote of forty yeas to ten nays. On motion of Mr. Howard, the court ad? journed until Monday, March 23d. The Chief Justice descended frcm thc chair of the presiding officer. The President pro tem, Mr. Wade, resumed his seat and rapped the Senate to order for leg? islative business. /onfroi Mitt. STDABT.-Died 16th March. 11)68, JAMES STUART, son of JOHN and Susan H.
