Morn Mutton of candidates tor Audito ing r and Suveyor•General, land AIX , Po" anent off Delegates :to ..the National Convention, and Presidential Elec. tors. The Democratic State Convention assembled in liarrieburg yesterday. There was a full attend ance of Delegates. Hon. Wm. A. Wallace, Chairman of the State Central CoMmittee, called the Convention to order. tie made the following speech : Gentlemen of the Convention: The political events of the ear aro full of reasons for Pride in yrsurstrengthtg and conlidenc,e in your future. success has crowned your efforts and the great principles of civil liberty and constitutional government have assorted their power over the • lands of the people. These great doctrines gave birth to our organi zation, and, when we are defeated in their sup port, like the tabled Antrens, when hurled to his mother earth, we gather therefrom renewed vigor and arise stronger and more determined than be fore. The war and the attendant train' f horrort are remembered in sadness. Reason resumes its throne and designing men can no longer attain their selfish ends by appeals to passion. Chris tian, charity now fills the place that rancor had usurped, and hate and bitterness are slowly pass ing away. The Radical party have shown their incapacity to govern. the Republic,. and the mass of their own adherents recognize the fact. Famine and crime, military - rule, insecurity of life and property', tho,negro dominant, • the white race oppressed, arc the. proofs of this in one section, while grinding-;taxation uncertainty in bust- OM Ana financialdi stress, pervade the tether. It his given us "a broken and dissevered klbalbni!" dorruption and extravagance in the use 'tithe public money, confusion in monetary *Mrs, and mismanagement of the immense re venues it has wrung from the people. It can 'unite neon no policy but the perpetuation of, its own power. In the mad spirit of faction it seeks 'to strip the Executive of his prerogative, and to ignore the sacred functions of the Judiciary. It liampleaupon.the organic law i reverses our tra- Alitions, and brands as criminal every attempt to stay its wild career. Our form of government is the external evi dence of oar capacity for self-government, for governments are what people make them. If we can govern•ourselves, we can sustain the govern inent-we love and can safely trust to the force of ideasi.to the march of mind, to public opinion, to crush with the ballot those' who through the dorms of law attack the vital spirit of our institu tions. The people have ordained a free system of laws arid a complex yet simple organism—the People, the States and the Union. Tho pre servation of the right of each of these is essential to the existence of the whole. To maintain these 'they have created the three great co-ordinate branches of the government—The Executive, the Lmislative and the Judicial. Public good and private right demand the preservation of the in tegrity of each. Sovereignty is in the people. The government is their creature, woven to protect their liberties. Its division into independent branches was of the very essence of the system. The destruction of either is a stride toward tyranny. The organic law defines the powers of each, and to that law each mnst be confined. The Constitution is the supreme 'law. It is the only evidence of powers p I anted by the States and the people. t must be strictly pursued, and implicitly obeyed. To sustain these troths, more than three hun dredihousand men, in conscious strength and quiet dignity, await your call, and this day speak, through you, for obedience to law, for the gov ernment of the Constitution, and for the Federal Union - of the States. eon.

Mr. Turner,"of 'Luzeriie, offered the following : Resolved, That the delegates to the National Democratic Convention from this Convention be and they are hereby instructed to vote as a unit for candidates for President and Vice President, and upon the platform. Postponed for the present. The Convention then adjourned till nine o'clock, in expectation of hearing the report of the Committee on Resolutions. President Hopkins called the Convention to order at nine o'clock. Mr. Jackson notified the Convention that Hon. Thomas Chalfant, Of the Fourteenth District, withdrew from the position of elector for the Thirteenth Congressional District. Jesse C. Ammerman was selected in his place. Mr. Deise, of Clinton, was called upon for a speech, and'spoke in response. Ho urged that Congress was disrobing the judiciary and the ex - ecntive of their constitutional power, If the Radicals deprived the executive of his power they could not deprive the Democracy of the last re sort of freemen. [Applause.] He reminded the audience of. Gen. Stonewall Jackson's motto— " Beware of Gen. Geary." Laughter and much applause.l He did not believe in that motto. General William M. McCandless, Senator from Philadelphia, being called upon for a speech, orged the Democracy to cease their temporizing Policy, and to charge! charge! charge upon the enemy. [Applause. H. A. J. Broadhead was announced as elector, and Elisha W. Hamilton and Henry S. Molt as 'delegates from the Eleventh Congressional Die is Le . wis C. Cassidy, from the Committee.on Re solutions, reported the following : Resolved, That the happiness of the people and the preservation of our power as a Republic, depends upon the perpetuity of the Union and the preservation of the Constitution, and the prompt restoration of each and all of the States to the enjoyment of their rights and functions in the Union is essential to our progress, our prosperity, and the prptection of our liberties, and radical legislation is the barrier thereto. Resolved, That the Constitution , of the United States is the supreme law; it la binding upori the people and upon every department of the gov ernment, and it is the highest duty of those in and out of official place to yield implicit obedi ence to all its provisions until it is changed in the manner provided therein; that the recent attempt bf - the legislative branch of the government to usurp the office of the Executive and to destroy the independence of the judiciary are deliberate attacks upon the plainest provision of the Con stitution, in utter violation of its spirit, and teed to the overthrow of the government itself. Resolved, That the Radicals in Congress have wrung from the people enormous sums of money, which they have squandered in reckless extrava gance; that their system of revenue is ill devised; incongruous and inequitable; that rigid economy in every branch of the public service, a decrease lathe number of, officials, a reduction in the army and navy, and reforms in the collection of the re venue, are imperatively demanded; only by this means can a reduction in the amount of taxation now imposed on the industrial and manufactur ing interests be attained and the payment of our indebtednsss be assured. Resolved, That the Republican party is respon sible 1.6 the country for the delay in the restora tion of the Southern States to their just relations in the Union, and for the government of ' their people by military, rule; that the purpose of these measures is to perpetuate radical power through the votes of illiterate negroes. Resolved, That in enacting the Tenure of Office law, the legislative and executive branches of the government, each for itself, had a right to judge of its constitutionality, and that in thus exercis ing the right the Executive was only complying with that portion of his oath of office which re quired him to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and that it is theright of every branch of the government, and of every citizen, to have questions involving the constitutionality of any law speedily adjudged by the Supreme Court of the United States, and the right of the people to have said decisions en forced. Resolved, That the pending impeachment- of the President of the United States is a gross and reckless abuse of partisan power, without justifi able cause, and intended for the attainment of party purposes at the sacrifice of the moat vital interests of the country. Resolved, That a return to a specie paying basis at the earliest practicable moment is essential to the interests of the people and the prosperity of the nation. Resolved, That the national debt should be paid as rapidly as is consistent with the terms of the laws upon which the several loans are based.' Resolved, That the 5-20 bonds and the legal tender notes are component parts of the same financial system, and until the government is able to redeem the legal tenders in coin the holders of these bonds should be required to re ceive legal tenders in payment. Resolved . , That every species of property should bear Its fair proportion of taxation, and that the exemption of government bonds therefrom is unjust and inequitable. Resolved, That we recognize with emotions of the deepest gratitude the efforts of the gallant volunteer soldiers who so freely took up arms to protect the flag and preserve the Union, and we denounce as injustice to them the efforts of the Radicals to prevent a restoration of the Union until negro supremacy is established in certain States, and negro equality made the rule in all. Resolved, That the naturalization of foreign born citizens places them on the same footing as those born in the country, and it is the duty of the government to see that all citizens, natural ized and native, are protected in their rights of life, liberty and property, abroad as well as at home, and that in the view of the Democracy the flag of the country. Ought and must be made to protect all our citizens. The resolution instructing the delegates to the National Convention to • vote us a unit was adopted. The Convention then proceeded to ballot for a candidate for Auditor-General. First Ballot—Mr. Davis, 52; Mr. Boyle, 31; Mr. Neiman, b; Mr. Knipe, 6; Mr. Markley, 42; Mr. Ziegler, 8; Mr. Kerr, I. Mr. Ziegler then withdrew. Second Ballot—Davis, 28; Boyle, 42; Neiman, 6; Knipe, 2; Markley, 51; Kerr, 0. The names of Mews. - Knipe, Neiman, Kerr and Davis were then withdrawn. Thirdsballot—Boyle, 68; Markley, 61. Chub. E. -Boyle, of Fayette, having received the. majority of votes, was declared the nominee of the Democrats for Auditor-General, and the nomi nation was made unanimous.

Mrs. Frances Anne Kemble read the whole of Shakespeare's "Coriolanus" at fdteinway Halt on M.onday night, and last night she read the Midsummer Night; Dream. On the first taming the hall was full, and would doubtless have been ckowded, had the wea 'ther been propitious. For this was the first lappeanmee of Mrs. Kemble in New York ?for near ten years, and there was a wish on ithe part ,of those wbo have heard her read before, to revive their reminiscences and give 'themselves the chance of , comparing' their favorite with the more recent readers who THE DAILVEVENING BULLETIN PHiLADELPUTA, THUIeSpAt : SII , CIJ 5 ,1868. have rivalled her renoWn; and on the part of the generation which :Itu Tgrown into> tin interest in these things since,, to verify or fal sify the theory which has come down . * it from the seniors that naWy Can. Mail Shake speare like Fanny Kemble, , 'Belfides; there was the Old Guard of the play-goers of Man hattan, few and faint, Sub fearless still,whose memories go back to the Consulship of Plan cue, that is to • say, to the year '32, and the high and palmy days of the "Old Park," where "sweet Fanny Kemble" won her first cisatlantic laurels as an actress, and had the pleasure weekly of seeing herself reflected at fall length in the New York Mirror, and the theme of cele bration by Willis, arbiter of the. elegancies of that ancient time. She came to us then preceded by the fame of several successful and successive seasons in London, where she made her first appearance as "Juliet" almost forty years ago, when Covent , Garden was under her father's management. When she appeared, London permitted itself an indul gence of enthusiasm much beyond the wont of that foggy capital. John Sterling, serious minded as he was, discussed her with analytic admiration in the Atheneum, then a rickety waif upon the literary main, sought her ac quaintance, and at one time was thought (these things were published long ago, and it is right to repeat them) to be on the verge of proposing to her. His climax of eulogy upon her was that she was the equal of Pasta, a misty mystery whom only musical antiquaries now know as a great operatic light of Lon don towards the end of the first quarter of the century. It is, indeed, almost impossible to over praise Mrs. Kemble's elocution, and we can infer from it how extraordinary her excel lence must have been as an actress. It is not a trivial thing to do to fasten the attention of an audience to a single play which takes over two hours in the reading,without stage equip age, without the relief of variety, without that peculiar interest which is given to the readings of Mr. Dickens; for example, by the fact that he is the creator of the character whom he delineates. This Mrs. Kemble suc ceeds entirely in doing. Her only appliances are a little red table, something like that used by Mr. Dickens; a crimson curtain, almost exactly like that used by Mr. Dickens; and the book. The lights, let us suggest, are very badly arranged for displaying that play of feature which - is one of Mrs. Kemble's chief charms, but which was altogether thrown away on such of the audience as had not the advantage either of proximity or of powerful opera-glasses. But if the reader had been be hind a curtain, her reading would still have been most effective. She uses very little ges ticulation,never rising from her chair or shift ing her seat. But the manner in which she discriminates the characters of the play by the mere tone of voice and method of utterance is nothing short of marvellous. "Coriolanus" is a crucial teat in this respect, since, taking out "Menenius," there is no chance for what we call character-acting in Lthe play, and hence a need of a much nicer distinction than is re quisite in other plays. .And this almost per fect representation is gained without any of the vulgar ventriloquism or artifices of mimi cry,to which less accomplished artists stoop to conquer applause,but to lose their own dignity and respectability. It is always properly a "reading." And this is the difference between a player and a clown. "If a man hops on one leg," Johnson said, "Foote can hop on one leg; but Foote has no discrimination of characters ." Mrs. Kemble has this discrimi nation, and it is hard to tell in what part of the play she exercises it moat notably. The scene in Which Shakespeare an.d- "Manilla" take such extreme pains to show their con tempt of the base vulgar and its most sweet voices; the beautiful scene where "Marcius" sacrifices his - revenge and his duty to the tears and prayers of his wife and his mother, and the final scene, in which he meets his death, were those most heartily applauded. But scattered along the whole play were quiet touches which made an impression too deep to be expressed in applause, such as those pathetic lines with which the victorious Roman greets his wife : " My gracious Silence, bail, Wonld'st thou have laughed had I come coffined home That weep'st to see me triumph ? Ah, my dear, Stich eyes the widows in Corioli wea r And mothers that lack sons." • - But it was by no means because the audi ence over-looked these points that it did not applaud them. It is very gratifying to see, from the quickness with which the audience caught the nicest points of the poet, how high its appreciation was, and how glad it, would be of pabulum a little more nutritious than is now offered it at most of the dramatic markets. The reading of the Midsumwer Night's Dream last night called out an audience quite as critical and even more numerous. The Dream tests the versatility of a reader as severely as any play of Shakespeare ex cept The Tempest, which we are promised for Friday evening, and as severely as even that, for there is really as great an intellec tual interval between "Puck" and "Bottom" as between "Ariel" and "Caliban." It is one of the most astonishing of the astonishments of Shakespeare that he dared to bring such characters into proximity, and that he could do it without weakening the force of either, without exalting what was mean or degrading what was high. A. praise the same in kind, however lower in degree, must be awarded to the artist who interprets thena in the same spirit, making snow to tooth pitch and not be defiled. ThiiMrs. Kimble does to the complete satisfaction of her audi tory. The same hand guides the pencil .tthat delineates "Titania". and. the lump of - charcoal that outlines "Bottom." The playing of the play of the hard-handed men the reader °outs, from a belief, no doubt, that it is be , yond the, power of a single voice and face to do it Plaice, ,though the skill with which the rehearsals were read renders the wisdom of het decision queStionable as applied to her self. Except the fairies and the clowns there is little declamation to do in the piece, and for tunately Mrs. Kemble is as successful in de clamation as in characterization. In the reading last night the reader wore plain white instead of the plain black of the night before, and this change seemed"a'-"decided Improve ment. —New Yorb World, March 4.

Mentates The CHAIR laid before the I3enate a •communicatlmi from the Chief Justice of the tinted Slates, embody - ing his views in regard to the rule eatabliehed on the subject of impeachment, as follows: To the Senate of the United btetes--Inasmtich ae the solo power to try impeachment is vested by the Constitution in the Senate, when is made the duty of the Chief Justice to preside the President is on trial, I take the liberty of submitting, very respect fully, some observations in respect to the proper mode of proceeding upon the iniereachmeritNehich has been a preferred by the Home of Representatives against the President now in °Mee. That when the Scene tilts for the trial of impeach- Mont it sits as a Cloud, seems unquestionable. That for the trial of an impeachment of the Presi:' dent this Court must he constituted of the members or the Senate, with the Chief Justice presiding, seems equally unquestionable. • , • The Feileroltet le regarded as the highest cotempo rary authority on the construction of the Constitution, and in the sixty-fourth number the functions of the Senate sitting in their judicial capacity as a Court for the trial of impeachment are examined. In para. graph explaining the reasons for not, witting the Su preme C with Impeachment,ete in the formation of the Court of it is observed that, to a cer- Min extent, the benefits of that union will be obtained from tnalcing the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court the Preeident of the Court of Impeaehment, an is pro posed in the plan of the convention, while the incon ventencee of an entire lecorporattim of the former Into the latter will be substantially avoided. This was. perhaps, the most prudent means. This authority seems to leave - no doubt upon either of the propositicrini just stated,' and the statement of them will serve to introduce the questioa upon which I think it my duty torte the result of my reflections' to the Senate, name! i'At What period in the case of an impeachment of e President should the Court of Inmeschmeinat be organized under oaths_ as directed in lt will readily touggelititleetif tO arri one who reflects upon the abilities and the learning in the law which distinguish so many Senators, that, be aides the reason assigned WOG Feiltr4list, there must have been still another for the provision requiring the Chief Justice o ppreside in the Court of Impeachment. Underlik,COnstituttoni in case of tt 'seamy in;the. office of President, the Vice-President succeeds to it, and it was, doubtless, thought prudent and be fitting that the next ip Onceeseicm should not preside in s proceeding through which a vacancy might be created. . It was ,not doubted that the Senate, while sitting in its ordinary capacity mutt 'necessarily receive front the Housed of Representatives some notice of Its in tention to impeach .the President slasher, but it does not seem to me au unwarrantable provision, in view of this conetitatirmalrovision that. the organi ?anon pf the Senate PUt a, nrt of Impeachment, un der the • Canstatutten, should precede the actual an nouncement of the impeachment on the part of the !Muse. and it may perhaps lam rain leas unwarranted opinion that articles of impeachment should only ho presented to a Court of Impeachment; that no sum mons or other Proceeashould_ietine except from the organized court and that tales for the government of, the proceedings of such a court should be framed only by the court I have found myself tenable to come o+ any. other concluelons than these. I can assign no reneen for requiring the Senate to organize as a court tinder any other than its ordinary presiding officer for the ;seer proceedings upon an im peachment of the President which does not seem to me to apply equally to the earlier. I aminformed that the Benste has proceeded upon other am, and it is not ray purpose to contest what its superior wis dom may have directed. All good citizens will fer vently pray that no occasion may ever arise when the grave proceeding's now in progrets will beetled as a precedent, but it is not imposer le that such an occa sion mat come. Inasinuch, therefore, as the Consti tution hits charged the Chief Justice with an import ant function in the trial of an impeachment of the President, it hall seemed to me fitting and obligatory where he is unable to.concur in the views of the Sen ate concerning matters essential to„th'etrial, that his respectful dlesentehould appear.

On motion of Mr. HOWARD, of Michigan, it was ordered to be printed and referred to the , select corn mitteerof seven. • The funding bill was again taken up, and Mr. HEN mr:ss,ox eddreseed - the Senate. Ile said. after gning a statement of the national debt. that the. amount . authorized to he funded en der the bill was $2,443,641 4 b*-50l but. that holdo's of gold certificates would not fluid, and if the creditors choose to carry $400,000.000 of the debt in legal ten der. the funded debt. would. be $2,221,765,406.50: on which the annual interest would be $112.574,233.20. Thesurallindebtednese.lesued prior to February 25, lteV. cisll.o probably be paid off as it matures. The con y .. was' *body about the payment of five twenties, ehich, with the other floating indebtednete. would amount to $1.1e0.000,000. The saving to the debtor - dam if - thofended - debt abonid be paid in currency, with' eold'at $1.40, would be $BOO,- 000,000 in paper,,and it, was therefore , a queettert of eaeattiriletleallmpatrisnoe,, It was plain that currency , to pay the funded debt of $2,010,000,000. could now he purchased for .$1,426,671,428 in gold. To realize the importance of thief met ter, it could be seen thit if the government was now able to pap that, and should hereatter execute new bonds for the bal ance due at the end of forty years $571,50.000, with five per cent. semi-annual interest, compounded, the government Would owe a debt nearly equal to one fourth of the aggregate Wealth of the nation toolay. The creditor class would be so much the richer, the -debtor class so much the poorer. The &hater from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) had claimed that if the creditors should reduce their rate of in . treat from Ato 5 per cent.; it would be fair to both "classes. He contended that sic:ding up $20,000,0)0 per annum for ten years, at 5 per cent. interest, paya ble half-yearly, the government gave them in this manner $571.428,57C, reeelyirig in return $155,511,162. To make the exchange equivalent, the intereet should be reduced to 3-67 per cent., payable semi-annually. The public securities being largely held in the older btater, for the interest arising from them, and by rett- Pen of the limitation on the banking facilities in the West, they remained there. Borrowing money in the West, except at ruinous ratee, was therefore absolute ly precindai, and the recent contraction left a great ctearth of money there, giving rare to bitter com plaints. This had caused them to reek a remedy. Mr. Henderson then instituted a comparison of the debt of the United States with that of oilier countries, and the interest paid. The rate of the latter, ho claimed. necessitated high tariffs and burdensome taxes, resulting in throwing the balance of trade against as, and the consequent sending of, bonds abroad, which, however, only aggravated the evil. But to send gold would drain the country to five years' time, and resumption would become a myth, Indeed— importations ceasing, and gold therefrom to pay the accruing interest being no longer forthcoming. At this point, which could only be -averted by the most rational measures, the public credit would be hope les-Iy lost, on well as the means of resuscitating it. To those who would call him an alarmist he would point out the fact that these bonds in foreign mar nets sold at 71 to 72, mod in New York at 76 to 73. He • quoted the rates of stocks, &c., in New York. and said their preponderance in value over government riecuritiet , showed want • of confidence in the latter. That doubt must be of the ability. not of the disposi tion. of. governmeht to -pay, and . the last Treasurer would not strengthen the confidence of the people. The purpose had seemed in the pant to he, to en hance the value of the bonds by contraction, in disre gard of the interests of.nineteen-twentieths of the people. He was satisfied that 'a reasonable increase -of volume of the cturency,would result In aiding the material Interests of 'the +COtin tr y, and apprec i ate;the , • security of the bondholders . ` In reelying to the iv,gu ' went that the debt contracted in gold should be paid in gold; her held that( elle ,government could make paper a legal tender it yes las much currency, as was gold, of which thiPiroYertinfenteetild , notaineronstethe present volume, - if the arguments of some were "cor rect.

He contrasted favorably our condition now with oar condition at the close of the Itevola tion,and with that of France when she entered on a system of paper issues, and contended that the difference was so great as to make their cita tion as warnings inappropriate. He claimed that a large cieculation was needed on account of the, great extent, and comparatively sparse population of our country, ' and . because the old -, credit ' system, was nearly , abandoned: for whiell,load other reasons. bethought double the amount per capita. was needed here, tot hat required In England and France, in mak ing allowance for their great wealth, half as much would give us an aggregate circulation of $1,500.000,- 000. Ho claimed that-,the rise in gold was owing . to the iron' policy of ' contaction, which had placed the resumption of specie almost beyond hope. He said the amount of gold in the country was not over e2r4,- 00000, which, with the bank circulation limited to 8300,000,000, was wholly insufficient a circulating me dium. After enlarging on the evils resulting from an insinfficient amount of circulation, he said the country could afford to wait the pleasure of the bondholders on the subject of funding their securities into a new loan. It they wish to keep them, we' will pay the in terest. If the debt must be funded it would be better to 'reduce the interest and psy the market sale of dis count on 'the bonds. He thought the government would 'save hundreds of millions by issuing securities with a lower rate of interest, , and* placing .the equiva lent discount in the body of the bond, which gain would arise from the difference of opinion as to when the debt could be paid. Capitalists think at from ten to twenty years. He thought no such thing. Even if it tvere paid in_ ten years, the immediate effect of his plan would be to lessen the amount of the annual in terest budgetesmd if it were not paid ' till fifty years he gave flaniesllo show that by increasing the amount now and lessening the interest a great saving would be effected. if we cannot get the consent of our creditors to re duce the rate of interest any other way, we mast pay for it and loee the presentemportanity of securing the great advantages resulting therefrom. He thought it too much that creditors should ask both a gold con tract and high rates of interest, which the country could nofpay. No natter could show a ratio of in crease in the national wealth equal to 5 per cent. In the United States, from IE3IO to Ifiee, it was 4e per cent. lie read etatieties to prove that the great . c,otn- MerCIIII cony ultions of the last forty years in England ark America had their origin in the payment of tnte• rest, and contended that the government should strike a blow at the system of high rates. He denied being a repudiator. He adhered to the contract as he understood it plainly to read. He sought the same end as the Senator from Vermont (Morrill), but thought his plan would result in failure. Alter replying at length to various criticisms on his bill, amide by Mr. Morrill; and recapitulating the ar guments in its favor, he closed with an expression of tee hope that, if it was defeated, no other funding bill would bet parsed during this 'session. At the conclusion of Mr. Henderson's remarks the bill was postponed. Mr. Howarth, of Michigan, from the Select. Com mittee of Seven, offered the following resolution and orders: Ilesolred, That at one o'clock to-mcirrow afternoon the Senate will proceed to consider the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, at which time the oath or affirmation required by the rules of the Senate Fitting for the trial of impeach meat shall be administered by the Chief Justice of . the 1. - -Ultoti States. as presiding officer of the Senate sitting as aforesaid, to each member of the Senate, and the Senate will, at the time aforesaid, receive the manager, appointed by the House of Representatives.

Ordered, That the articles of impeachment against Andrew Johnson. President of the United States, be printed_ . Mr. Garters, of lowa, moved that they be consid ered seriatim. Mr. Dixon, of Connecticut, objected to their consid ers t ton, but al terwarde withdrew the objection. The motion of Mr. Grimes was adopted. The question was on the resolution.. Mr. EDMUNDS, of Vermont, was opposed to the first part of the resolution, because by the standing rules they were required to i roceed to that duty at 1 o'clotk to-morrow. He hoped it would be modified. Mr. flows= Paid the llouie was not bound by law to take notice of the rnlee of procedure of-the Senate, and therefore this resolution, in accordance with the rule,ehottld be presented to the House for its informa tion. Mr. EDMUNDS urged that it would form a fall pre cedent, and it might be held to be necessary in the future. He moved to substitute for the first order the following: Ordered, that the Secretary be directed to inform the House of Representatives that to-morrow, at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. the Senate, pursuant to standing rules, will proceed to the consideration of the impeachment that the House of itspresentatives has presented. Mr. BUCKALEW, of Pennsylvania, said that the point had heretofore been raised that after they were sworn as a court, the Chief Justice being present, it would be necessary to adopt rules. perhaps those already adopted and perhaps others. Be suggested simply giving notice to the House and to the Chief Justice without entering upon this question of the rules. He thought the resolution unexceptionable. The amendment was lost. The resolution and the first two orders were adopted. Air. BUCKALEW moved to lay the third on the table, saying that they could furnish the House copies of the rules after they bad organized into a Court. The order was then adopted. Mr. POMEROY, of Kansas, from the same Committee, presented an additional order, providing for a not ice to the Chief Jtistiee requesting his attendance as pre siding officer, and for the appointment of a committ to eonducthim to the chair.
