This has been the last day of impeachment, thoagh by no means the leaat interesting. In many respects it has exceeded in profound interest any which bare preceded. The impression had beeoma turn no vote wouia D? inRcn, and b?act ' there was nothing like the ruth upon tbaCdpl- ' tol.whlob hu heretofore characterised the impeachment proceeding#. Nevertheless, the ' Immense galleries were paoked with a brilliant 1 assemblage, while the Diplomatic section eon-, tainod the representatives of twenty-eight loreign countries, all manifesting the most intense interest in the proceedings of the Senate* 1 as each held in liis band a list of the Senators' names. The arrangements for preserving per. I feet order were omuplote, as shown by the (lies of policemen which decorated the aisles and ' corridors. The Ooor of tho Chamber appeared almost deserted, no impoachment Senator being seenThere sat the Conservatives, and there were the seven rocreanls, bat where wore the thirty* , Ave impeachers ? It was a mystery to the galleries, but others knew that a caucus was being held iu President Wade's room to detor- . mine whether they would or would not proceed with the voto. Just before the heur of 12 o'clock, Senator Bdraunds came in and announced confidentially te a low friends around ' him that the voting would be postponed* snob being the determination of the caucus. A few moments later the other Senators entered the | Chamber with an air of indifference, and were , soon engaged in conversation, groups being formed?during which tbs action of the caucus was discussed, and spoculations freely offered ^ ?s su iu? proDaoio cnuci 0! tlio contemplated | postponement on party Interests. \t this time no Senator doubted Tor a mo- , ment that the rote would be postponed?the managors had requested it and tho caucus had voted to grant it?yet tho vote was taken and tho President acquitted, llow was it done ? The dotails will furnish an intoresting pa go for the future historiau. Soon after the Oenr' had organized for businoss and all the drama- I tis persomo were in position, Senator Edmunds rore slowly from his scat, and drawing from ! his pocket, offered a resolution rescinding all I previous rules on the subject of voting. The i Chief Justice thought the resolution was not in order, the Radical majority thought other- i wise, and the rules were rescinded. Next i camo a resolution postponing the voto on impeachment until the 23d of Juno. The Chief Justice considered this out of order but was again overruled by the caucusing Senators. On each of these propositions Senator Bo?*> of Kansas, voted with tho impeachers, and a decided sensation among tbcm was perceptible. Radical Senators were bobbing their bunds at each otber, and a great effort made to communicate and confer ono with another. Ross had defeated tbcm on the eleventh article, and vitupcrativo abuse bad been heaped upon him. Was it possible he had repented * at the eleventh hour, if not on the eleventh 1 yc i article? Conkling offored a substitute for the motion to adjourn, whleh provided that the Senate sitting as a Court of Impeachment < should proceed at once to vote on the remain- < ing Articles of Impeachment. This was nip- ! IWlli'd hv in After In Ka a -- J *? * a "j ??j vu " *???iuh uuvrvu in goou i faith y the Senator from New York, and | when it was rejected hy ao overwhelming vote, | many of the spectators left the galkrioa, sup- , posing the day's performances at an end. The newspaper men,"in their anxiety to outstrip all competition, Bashed the news over the Wires " impeachment postponed nutil the 2.*5<1 of June." No one doubled the fact, except the parties engaged in the desperate guito. Conkling's purpose proved to ho to draw out an expression from Ross, who, understanding the game, iu turn set a trap for the impeacbersRoss voted squarely against Conkliug's substitute ; another l>u?? was beard on ths Rmlical side of the Chamber. Sumner left his seat, end hurriedly passed to the seats of Sett* ators Edmunds, Williams and others, holding brief conferences with each. Other Senators leaned towards each other and passod hurried wrWda. Spectators continued leaving, and the telegraph hnd already spread the news In every direction thut the Senats had voted to postpane, which was virtually the case when the vote was taken refusing to proceed. But now the nudcrcurrent was seen and fel s though its exact character waa stilt unknown, pome new development was about beiog made. The countenances of U?s impcaehers seemed to brighten np, and some unexpected tnrn in pvents evidently anticipated. Ross hnd been ' drawn out; lie was upon the record with the ' impcaehers on every preliminary question; ' be, too, seemed to be acting in tbe best faith? ( presto, "We won't postpone," said the im* ' pciw Iters, " but while Rots is voting kioiit we will give him a chance on tbe second article.'* 1 They voted down their own caucus resolution I to postpone until th? 23d of June, and moved I to go into a vote on the seeon J article of im- f pcachment. ' , Tbe Impcacher* were now oil smiles. They I bad by adrqituers ascertained erectly bow ; llos* would yote, as they supposed, and now tliey would convict Johnson certain. They little suspected that there were two parties to their game, and quite as little suspected tbe t modest, unsophisticated Senator frotn Kansas f of intending to entrap tbirty-flve impeacbers , at a single haul.* The foil Was called amid ? breathless silence, and tbe interest hicghtened | as tbe votes of tbe doubtful Senators wore ( {cached?culminating when the name of B?n?- ( tor Ross win called. * Vow came the tug of jrsr.

It was hi* good fortune In tell them then that there waa no middle coursi left for them. Whether it was inspipstioi or knowledge, it was prophetic, and thi prophecy has already been verified.

The CI or eminent ft North Oerinany has abolished Imprisonment lor debt." Those Senator* hud Representatives of the State of South Carolina who voted down the proposal to abolish imprisonment for debt In this State in I860, will bo perhaps grieved to learn the progress of huinaoe and Itbsrsl principles in tbo old Monarchies of Europe. One by one the elvilised governments of the earth are abolishing imprisonment fi>r debt. The military power has forced its abolition in this State. Wo confess however, that one ff the numerous disappointments we experteeeed by the Intervention of the military and reconstruction laws or Congress was in being deprived of the satisfaction ot seeing the good people of thia Stnto rise in their might io the October elections that should bavo been held la-t year, and hart from power all those men, who could remain so insensible to their duty of affording relief from old barbarous laws.
