Presi dent by Chauucy Black,March 16th, enclos ing's copy with additional signatures. - Senator CAMERON offered an order for night sessions, which went over. I Mr.;.EVARTS, then maimed liiii.- - arFlk 4 ment. He assumed it to be already shown ; that this tribunalis a court, and that the I President is to be tried only on charges supported by law and evidence, and common fame. He said ranch tnathad been' ~ elaborately advan.ced by the Managers must ; fall to . the ground. So must fall the i articles based on charges which had been I repeatedly rejected as fair grounds for Im peachment. He referred to the conduct of - the ease by the proseoution as similar to ; the practice of the Chinekie, who make a great noise inthe vicinity of an object to ; , I be attacked, or like the explosion of - some ~ two hundred and fifty tons of gunpowder ... at a safe distance from the walls of a fort. i; He said in this case, where the evidence '.I. had been suppressed, the enlargement of : deelamation :and invective was more than ..', unusually improper. He also spoke in a ,' . l strain of sarcasm of , Mr. Boutwell's refer once to the President's counsel as attor .. , net's whose minds had not been sharp ' ened but enlarged by practise. He then • ; considered Mr. 33ontwell's definition. of ihlea,ncesrdarg:edatieugh4' that noaetcolboconstta ~ which did not proceed from malice and .evil intention, supporting his view by quo ; tations from records of the Humphrey ..,•;Itrial, and also by the,language of Burke in •accusing Warren Hastings, when he ex- ' 11 pressly stated that the assertion and proof -Jof evil intent were indispensable. Mr. ', Everts held that the best way to determine : .the nature of offences which may be deem ' fid..high..crimes and.., • rnisdemeanoss is to consider the pnnioihrnents prescribed for ; themi•--Hereferred/tolheipithets . .a plied '.'ibirthOilimagers tio- . ._ %- • tiorr, and in forcible terns described - the : -. . i character and magnitude of the disgrace -: t twhieh such punishment iiivolves. He 5 claimed that the description of the •.. Spenalties 'provided , in . the Tenure-of . 10ffice law for its infraction . showed the ?Abe comparatively trivial nature of the - -,offense. A maximum but no minimum • of punishment is provided. So, in the dis -- c-etion of Court before whom the indict ment be let off with a fine of six cents and impris , onment of one day. He read from the de ' : bate on this subject at the time when the .• bill was proposed, fit which. Mr. Williams - and other Senators said there should be no minimum fixed, because the offense might . . arise - from inadvertence and would not probably in any case have a character •of moral guilt. Mr. Everts then' consider *. ed the general debates on the bill and pro . l imed to prove that the offence charged was not made or to be' considered .penal ! but -, • ~ more of a political nature, and their , that even alleged infractions did not take place. He claimed that all bellerof the President's former personal turpitude must be laid de, and it must be considered that he .!. ~ was - unimpeachable before twelve o'clock . n Febrafiry,.2ll4: „lie.,then -argue d...that t e al even the removal of Stanton had been ac ..: tually effected, no change in the relations 1:7 of the : :War ,fltomartment to the rest` 'or - the government would ' luiye ensued, *- and;' hence . :that : the mere :.. : act could riot be considered as dangerous to the public safety. On the contrary, it would have beenbenefitted by it, because : . . the relations existing between the Presi ':, • dent and Mr. Stanton were prejudicial to 'a ', pupal. working of the srovernment. .Hence .; it %suited that the' crime"consisted in 4 .11 technical infraction , of the law, if it skill i: , ... .e, so held. The law applied only in ga .';restrictions to himself. He believed it' to be . unconstitutional : It relates 'to an of. : leence not penal, and under these circum .:':sauces MI IS IlettPn '.could not be ileettied a '.4.'crirne. He then briefly comiidered 'the -. , '.. <tuestion law, what was mea n by 'ntuienstitn -11:" tonal w and said it was a pare • 'dox.

[From the N. Y. Evening Po , t•J ' Bonnets are becoming smaller, if possible, 1 and it is not improbable that in a short time they will vanish like the gossamer ouclomd a coiffure of lace and flowers, without frame, be worn instead. The effort to thrbii aside the Fanchon has not been successfil, and it is now theprevailing style, with a slight diadem against which the flowers in front rest. ' - The ladies, are, not willing to give up a becoming style for a crown and standing front that - detracts froni - a - pretty. face. Spangled and , ctsrstalizecl lace, •as well as plain white lace, are still much used upon the ,bonnets, increasing the effect. The _fleecy folds of rich lace harmonize with the bright, youthful face, adding .to its beauty; while they give a softening effect upon fea tures on which time has left its impress. Green will be the prevailing color in mil linery at present, the bright shade of apple green, which is darker than the Metternich, predominating. The majority of the bon nets are of thirmaterial, crape, illusion or lace. Straws are not extensively used, but most of the fancy braids are very .pretty.. Straw cords, bands and straw flowers are used for decorating the straw bonnets. The new style - of round hat has a high; sugar-loaf crown, with a brim wider than that of-last year, The new hat is of brown straw, the ,crown sloping . up small andilat on the top ; thebrim wider on one side than the other, turns up, and is spanned .by a velvet band. Rosette - leaves of ribborr Bur mount this band, ' and black crystallized lace caught up by the band and tied in a loole knot, falls over the shoulder. It, is a jaunty, sirens , ' hat. The bats with :low crown, and narrow, drooping brim, will be worn. A pretty one-of -white straw„luis a fluted ribbon. around the crown, and the ' - edge bound with green Velvet, with scarf of green froated lace. A showy round - hat is . of pink silk,- with pink, spangled lace streamers. The wide brim hate will be .used later in the season for sea-side wear. The ribbon's used on bonnets are Earner tow, the fashionable 'width being number sixteen. The very narrow is used for ties where lace overstrings are attached to the bonnet - White, straw color, blue, pink and lavender are used to 'some - extent, but the leading color in ribbons is green, and the prettiest and most fagbionable shade is the apple green. There has never been a great er variety of flowers, or a more attractive display, which will be much used in decor ating bonnets. Indeed, the fashionable bon net will be made up of lace or tulle, and I clusters and Wreaths of flowers that dfop to the shoulder. Among the recent importa tions are beautiful vines with trailing ten drils and leaves, and mossy verdnre that closely resembles that of the forest. - The little sunshades, or parasols in min iature, are made up of the richest of-silk, and are gay and . attractive. Parasols are else Very, showy,,the blue, green, and blVen -1 der being embroidered in brilliant colors, 1-after.beautifur designs, and those in black 1 silk are wrought' UV-White, - gold-color; or i bright tints.

The present practice of our,-people—to bury their dead within some twenty-four or thirty-six hours of their decease—seems re prehensiblein many respects. The peril of, premature burial is obvious: We - know so' little of the theory and condition of death, even in our present state of medical science, that we cannot even be sure that life has actually fled when the ordinary signs of life have ceased. We cannot be sure that the spirit has passed irrevocably, materially speaking, from the mortal clay, even when the heart ceases to beat; the lips to breathe, the pulse to throb. •We Inow, that:per sons apparently dead by drowning have been brought . back life a. lone Aim after!- the ordinary . signs of life have ceased to be apparent. We know that skillful treatment has, under Providence, restored respiration' and anima tion some time after all apparent action had left the respiratory organs and the animated organism: Hence it is clear, that death does not immediately succeed the apparent ces sation of life. A man m aybe drowned and yet not immediately die. If this be the case is this cause ocdeath; may it not be true in other causes producing death? May not the vitalpower be only suspended ,and not ab solutely extinct when it-appears ~ to those around a patient's pillow that the'signs of life have departed ?' '• Xis possible that we can, in the name of, religion, consign our loved ones to d condi tion in which--if one spark of life. remain or could be reanimated in their-lit must be extingiushed utterly, irretrievably? I be lieve that, decmposition, or the: beginning of, decomposition is the only really -reliable sigu'of death. *hen a physical' change of this character commences to affect' the inert frame, it is probably palpable' that the mys tery which we call lifehas left it—left it un it be recalled in unknown hour when, as we believe, the dead shall wake again. Strange to say, we do'not give to our sup posed dead the last chance winch would .be afforded by our ancient cpstoms, and proba bly presc'ribed rites. ‘ Wo• do not,,as I be lieve Our fatheri did; re-Open the - coffin at the burial gionutl, before filially parting with it in the . cold sods.' Why haVe we abandoned this practice--possibly a wise precaution? The objection' to buried, tori the ground of the desire to remove the'detid= rqpidly from the, house of mourning, so that the latter may.be purified from "its,,presence; may • be met by the establisliment or a mortuary hbuse in our cemeteries, nil for'some days the supposed-,dead .might be deposited and watched, till death be physically certalo. - THE Copperhead majority of the 'Ohio Legislature have hit-upon a new but emi nently, appropriate method of cutting down dui Republican vote, in Alta State.

His manners presented a singular. mitture of gravity and levity. - Unusually affable and gentle, so as make even a refusal look an acceptance, he burst forth at times into • a nnt- which showed that the old Bersiker rage was net dead within him. "By God and His I will give you just such another Mr?, if it ever come in my way'!" was` the Utter ance of what was thought bibgra phers as a very mild expression of his toile indignation against a peasant Who inter fered with the pleasure of his chase.
