Everything is in readiness on tho part
of Congress to-night for beginning the
impeachment trial to-morrow. There
has been a great rush for tickets of
admission to the Senate gallery, and
had there been rive times as ninny seats,
they would all have been taken. The
reporters' gallery makes a place for
sixty persons, and there have been
over four hundred applicants for seats,
many of them, ot course, from
"shysters" and bummers." Senators
are' to retain their seats, and members
will be accomodated with chairs iu the
back part of the hall.

vacated the chair for the Chief Jus
tice who took it, and directed tho Ser
geant-at-Arms to make the proclama
tion, which, though now so l'uiiilinr
to the country, still sounds strange and
solemn here. Its command to keen
silence seemed to press like a weight i
upon all who hcarcl, and tho quiet of
the chamber was significant of tho an-
thority wiiieh stood behind it. The
reading of the journal attracted gener-
al attention from some of its formal !
terms, rather than its matter. Among'
them for instance the followins :!
Tn I :.d1 Si flm;nl. A tlr.
Johnson, President thereof."

While reading the Journal was in
progess, the managers appeared at the
outer door of the Senate, and waited
until it whs finished. Rack of them
was about a fourth of tho House, who
did not wait for a formal entrance of
the House itself. Mr. Stevens was
not able to walk in. The formal an-
nmincement of the managers took,
place. The Chief Justice invited theni j Chandler, Cole, Conklmg, Conness,

mcnt.
The siatcmcnt that almost every
circumstance of the trial is without
precedent has already become an old
story, and yet as these successively
arise they fix the attention of all,
The marked one to-day was niado in
response to the order of the Chief
Justice directing the Sergennt-at-Arms
to call the accused, when this
officerarose and went through tho us
ual legal form as follows : "Andrew
Johnson President of tho United
States, appear and answer to the arti
cles of impeachment exhibited against
you by the House of Representatives
ol the United States.
This was succeeded by a general
quiet and all eyes were turned to the
door leading towards the President's
room, as if Mr. Johnson would posei
bly appear in person. Instead after a
moments delay three of Lis counsel
came in walking slowdy, and with
dignified bearing. First, Mr. Staa
bery, tall and slim and bending for
ward as is his manner. Next Judge
Curtis, short in comparison to the
former, thick set, and with none of the
marks of age on him, and last Judge
Nelson, of 'Tennessee, who few knew
anything about : of medium weight
and proportion, and quite gray. Mr.
Stanbcry sat at the head of tho table as
leader of the council ; Curtis next, and
Nelson third in order.
At the head of tho table of the
House managers set Mr. - Bingham,
facing the President's counsel ; to bis
left, along the table, were Roulwcll,
Wilson and Stevens in the order nam
ed, and on bis right Logan, Williams
and Butler,- '

Resolved, I hat the great Repub

which the Rebellion against the Gov

division of the Union, and perpetrated
human slavery, with the aid, comfort
and full approval of the present Dem
ocratic party is iu the fore front of
another peril nnd nnother trial.
Electing its candidate for President in
1800, and re-electing him in 1864, it
is now called upon to decide whether
all the sacrifices of blood nind treasure
have not only been in vain, but were

Resolved, That no contrast so elo
quent could be presented as that
between the loud professions of Andrew
Johnson and the silent patriot ism of
1'lysscs S. Grantjhat ns the one deals
in promises to deceive, the other deals
inactslliat convince ; and that, while
Johnson has fallen rapidly away from
his many voluntary covenants, Grant
has accepted equal justice and radical
Republicanism as a part alike of eon
science and of duty.
Resolved, That wecnrdiallyendorse

the soundest policy, as well as of the
greatest wisdom, that the domestic
industry of the tvuntry should be

competition by adequate tarilf laws,
and that iu whatever particulars the
existing laws on the subject are
j defective, they should be amended and
made cfiicicut for that purpose, as well
as lor llio purpose of raising revenue
for the Government.
Resolved, Taut by the election of
Gen. Grant to tiie Presidency all
domestic discussions and actions,
opposition to the complete Reconstruc
tion of the Union, on the linn founda
tions laid by wise and judicious legis
lation of Congress,will be immediately
suppressed and harmony and good
feeling restored, settled relations of
business established, nnd the revival
and improvement of all the disturbed
sources of national wealth and
prosperity will be secured, when it is
once mado manifest that the people of
this country nrc firmly D ied in their
determination that the fruit of the late
bloody and obstinate struggle shall
not bo lost, nnd that tho faotious and
and rebellious resistance to the laws
slnll be elTectually overthrown as the
military hostility which atte'inpted to
subvert tho Oovernment by savage
cruelty, rapine and murder.
