idence „Closed on Both Sides—
Adjournment of the Court till

ings.
(By 'Telegraph to the Plttshurgh Gazette.)
WASHINGTON, April 20, 1868.
SENATE.
Fhe Court was opened=in due form at•il
o'clock.
All the Managers were present.
In response to, an inquiry of the Chief
Jus ) c ; e, Mr. CURTIS stated the counsel for
, ,
the President considered alltheir evidence
lrltuniger, prrlGH4.m.said the Managers
..might desire to-place. on the stand one or
_
two witnesses - who had been submenead
,
early in the trial, but wbo had not appearedp
hitherto.
The ClztiE.,t. JUSTICE was understood
to say it would be proper to first obtain an
order from the Senate.
Manager - BINGHAM—I wish it to be un
derstood-I desire to consult my associates•
about it first. So flir as the order is con
cerned, I take it for granted that the sug
gestion made at the time the evidence was
• closed on the part of the Managers, that
it would be competent for us, without fur
ther order,
if those witnesses should ap
pear to introduce them on the, stand. It is
sufficient; because the Senate will recollect,
although I have not myself referred. to the
Mjourna, 'it was stated by my Associate
Manager. Mr. Butler, in the hearing of the
Senate, that we considered our case closed,
reserving, however, the right of- calling
some other witnesses or offering some doc
umentary testimony that might be obtain
ed afterwards.
Senator •JOHNSON—I am not sure I
heard correctly the honorable Manager. I
rise merely for ,the purpose of inquiring
whether the Managers desire to have the
privilege of offering any evidence afte r the
• argument beg* Mai:lager BINGHAM—As at present ad
vised, I am not aware that the Managers
have any desire of that -sort. I wish to be
understood by the Senate that there are
one or two witnesses who are important on
the part of the 'Managers, - who were early
subpoenaed on this trial, and although we
have not been able yet to find them, we
have been advised they have been in the
Capital for thh last forty-eight hours.
• Senator YATES repeated the inquiryt
whether the Managers iatended to offer
testimony after the argument was cam
.miantiad.
Manager BINGHAM—As at piesent ad
- • v ed we haie no purpose o ofthe sort. We
- nor -know - - may occur: in -the..
, progress of the trial.
aranager BUTLER offered in 'evidence
portions of the Joninal of Congress of 1774
and 1775, relative to the drafting of the
commission for Washington as General-in-
Chief, and its form asissueil. Also, it letter
from Secretary of Treasury relating to the
practice-of that -department in making ad
interim appointments.
Ranchdlw'as recalled,'ind produced
a ci s oar4 thelinlictment of Mr. Blodgett.
Manager : BUTLER offetedMirßiodgett's
.ansiket,to the notice of his removal.
Mr. EVARTS objected; saying Mr. Bled
wit; not trial. "
~......Pdanager BUTLER :was proceeding to
state what the Managers proposed to prove,
when •
The CHIEF JUSTICE said It must be
Tut in writing. -
Manager BUTLER - objected, and said the
counsel had never before been interrupted
in that way, and was going on, but
The CHIEF JUSTICE insisted on a com
pliance with Ilia direction, and the offer
was written. -
The Managers offered to show that the
i
ndiement was procured by ' the disloyal
enemies of Mr. Blodgett, that ho was re-,
moved, without a hearing.;and that the 'ae,-1 1
tion was not repoFtedikto the Senate, the O
f-1, floe being an appointment,Of the President;
also that• Mr. Blodgett had' always been
friendly to the United States. •
r Mr. EVARTS argued it was not relevant
to - the case;but if it was wished to put Mr.
Blodgett on trial, he was prepared to prove
that the charges against him were true.
Manager BUTLER held that the paper
was part of the-record in the case and that
Mr. Blodgett was -forced into the rebel
army, and that he had a right to: defend his
reputation. The evidence also tended to
show the Presidentte ;wilful violation of the
briefly...rejoined,,and the
'offer being Slightly modified, was submit
ted - 1,6 Viol:en - ate and the evidence was re
fused tulmissionwithanta_divhdon:
Mr: " Randall stated he mdebr, sus-.
Winded, Mr, Blodgett till,he t weld be sans-'

In answer -to Senator' Conness, witness
-said he had taken additional testimony- on
, the subject. '
• -Manager BUTLER, offered an order
placing General Sherman in. charge of the,
Department of the Atlantic.
. - MniEVAIVDS 4:objected; Saying it Niiw not

penses of the Senate, and $17,000 for extra .

laborers, who had had no money since last,
December. - •
.Mr. ELDRIDGE. in noticing:the item of
$40,000, wanted to know whether that Was
"a cat in the meal tub ? "
Mr. WASEIBURNE replied that 'there
was no ' , cat in: the meal tub," and said he
did not think the gentleman from Wiscon
sin would suppose that the Committee on -
Appropriations would improperly foist any
the Rouse.' • •
Mr. ELDRIDGE did not believe the gen':
tlenian would, but when unanimous con
sent was given for acting on this bill he did
not want to be found in this dilemma.
Mr. WASIIBURNE, said he had been as-.sured by' the Chairralin ,
of the Appropria- 1
tion Committee of the Senate that he had
examined itemas;eMbraded in the appro.:
pliation one by one and found them ,cor-. 1
Mr. SPALDrNG moved to strike out the
.64000 item. He (lid not, believe they .
should appropriate money without knowing"
more about it.
Mr. ELDRIDGE asked whether it had
been-already ascertained that $lO,OOO is `an
ndequate - sum"fol pay all the expenses of
the impeachment trial, or is this merely, to
'strike the-public mind as all "..the expense,
merely for the sake of sugar-coating the
pill?
- The SPEAKER saidthe • inquiry NOS not
germain as yet.
Mr. WASIIBURNE, in the course of
further debate, stated one: of -the items,
and a large one, was to , pay the'fogeral,ex
penses of Senator Foote, of Vermont.
Mr. SPALDM withdrew his. Motion.
Mr.' ELDRIDG .We on this side
decide whether this item of #lO,OOO is to.pay
all the expenses of impeachment, or a mere
bagatelle, to . be followed by tea times as
much more.

TUESDAY,' APRIL
ject,- I did not suppose that One•hundred
thousand dollars - would be taken as the
necessary suit.: It is a - Mere bagatelle 3 for:
the purpose of making the public believe
this is all the ineney-necessaryto „pay the.
expenses of the trial, and the gentleman.
from Illinois admitted this when.. 4tift
said, he. would vote , not . only $ lO,OOO but
SIIXI,OOO, and then-added, With the approba
tion of his associates, that he would agree
to vote one hundred millions. The send-.
ment is unworthy of the - geritlernan. from
Illinois, and unworthy of the Rouse, when
the trial is .:pendingi that they - would ap
propriate this large sum of money for the
p a rposeofmakingimpeachment a success;
I wouldrhot give one dollar. Let the trial.
go on according to the. rules of justice, un
affected by money. If the 1310,000 is not ap
propriated to create the helief-that this is all
the money necessary, to nieet the • .question .
let the country know what the expenses - of
the trial really.are, -,- . :IT •
Mr, WASHBITR.NE—The gentleman did.
not misunderstand my purpose before the
House, and cannot put his remarks on the
country : as, coming from.me. He may tin-.
dertake to - lecture the House and myself as
to our dutybut I- will, not permWhini to
misrepresent... What I said:waS,lf impeach
ment was a success, it .would be worth a
hundred . millions to the country, and
I 4:telieVe so, in whiat it would
save the .country from the..amount plun
dered from the Treasury by office holders
and friends:of the gentleman from Wiscon
sin and his party. It wouldbe worth count
less millions of dollars and theliies of loyal
men of the South, who would be - saved by.
thrusting a usurper and tyrant from .the.

GREAT. BRITAIN.
T • RIAL OF TUE CLEICENIVELL XENIANet.
LONDON, April - 20..—1 n the case for the
prosecution, in the trialof the, Clerkenwell
prisoners,The Attorney General stated he
expected to prove that the crime of murder
had been committed' upon the person of a
,
woman, one of the victims of the explosion
at the Clerkenwell House of Detention;
that this explosion was directly brought
about by the - prisoners at the bar,
four of whom the testimony found were
members of a Fenian organiza
tion; that ' the said 'explosion was a
part of a plot to aid the escape
of Burke, a F'enitin leader, confined in said
House of Detention; that in the confusion
produced by the explosion, Burke was to
make his escape; that a fund of money was
raised at a Fenian meeting in Holborn to
provide for the expenses of the conspiracy;
that all the prisonersin the Court were im
mediately concerned in the attempt, except
perhaps, the woman Ann Justice, but that
the, prisoners Barrett and Murphy joined
at a late date in the conspiracy;
that a man named Futon, who had
not yet been arrested,. , was known
to have bought the powder for the use of
the conspirators. The Attorney General
continued: The execution of the plot was
fixed for the 12th of December. Burke was
to be warned of the lighting of the fuze
outside - by a ball which was to be thrown
over the wall into the prison yard, where it
was expected he would be taking
exercise with other prisoners; but
the attempt failed on , that day. On the
following day the fuse was lighted by Bar
ret himself, and the conspirators succeeded
in producing the unfortunate explosion
which caused the murder for'which they
are now on trial. A short time before this
event, the wbmau, Ann. Justice, was seen
talking, with the Dosmonds, , and .she
was arrested after the explosion -while fly
ing from theacene in their company. The.
learned counsel concluded by announcing .
that Vaughn andllullaney, accomplices
in the crime, had become Queen's evidence,
and would give their testimony before the
Court; but he warned the jury against_ ac
cepting„theirevidence Us conclusive, un
less sustained by the other witnesses pro
duced hy the Crown. ,
Witnesses for the prosecution'were then
called and formal testimony was taken as
to the nature of the wounds received by the
deceased. Mullaney was then sworn. He
testified that all the male prisoners , were
regular memheis of the Fenian or nisei.

The Academy of Music, judging from the
appearance of the diagram yesterday aftek=
noon, will be filled on the 23d and-24th with
the amateurs of music in Pittsburgh. The ,
expenses necessary to a complete prothib
tion of the Stabat Mater are so heavy, that
the great work of Rossini may:not be Isi*-
foipted again for a long time. Mlle de
Lunen may never visit our pity agaih.
Those who have not secured. their se*
should do so soon, bearing in mind that
owing to the short distanCe from the stage
to the extremity of the parquette and dress
circle, all seats hi the Academy of Music
are really good to the eye as weltas to the
Fire.--A slight fire occured about.t welre
o'clock last night in the grocerl store of
James Irwin, on Liberty street, near Dia

boxes had been carlessly left near the
stove, in which there was fire, and;in
consequence of the proximity to it ' ,ig
rdted, The alarm was given from box five
to which the Fire Department responded
promptly and extinguishedthe flames •:be
