The. Senate met at ten o'clock.
The NTIEF Arnica s a id: The Senate
meets to-day under the order for, delitnna
tie* and the doors will be closed unless
some Senator makes a motion now,
Senates SHERMAN moved that the Ser
geant-at:Arms place his assistants through
the galleries to-morrow, with directions to
arrest any person who violates the rules of
oraer.
The CHIEF JUSTICE stated that the
Sergeant-at Arms had. already taken , the
precaution.
Senator SHERMAN' suggested that no
tice be given in the morning papers. -
Senator WILLIAMS suggested that the
Chief Justice s _before the call of the roll,
admonish all persons that no manifestation
ofapplause or disapproval will be allowed
In 'the Senate under . penalty of arrest.
• This proposition meeting
_general appro
. hation; Senator SHERMAN withdrew his
. and the doors were closed a10:20.
" • In 'secret session the CHIEF JUSTICE
• addressed the Senate as follows:
Senators—ln conformity with what seem
. ed to be the general wish of the Senate
when it adjourned last Thursday, the Chief
' anstice in taking the irate on the articles of
impeachment will adopt the rule sanction
ed in the cases of Chase, Peck and Humph
rey. He will direct the Secretary to read
the several articles successively, and after
the reading of each article will put • the
question of guilty or not guilty, each Sena
tor rising in his place, in the form used in
the case of Sudo Chase, - viz: "Senator, how
'• nay you, is the respondefit, Andrew John
-son, President of the United States; guilty
or not guilty of a high misdemeanor as
chargea in this article?" Inputting the
questions on articles fourth and sixth, each
of which charges a crime, the word crime
will be substituted for the word misde
,
t , The Chief Juitice has carefully consid
"ered the suggestion of the Senator from
'lndlasta, (Mr. Hendricks,) which appeared
to meet the approval of the Senate, that in
taking the vote on the eleventh article the
• question should be put lon each clause, and
found himself unable to divide the article
asisuggeeted. The article 'charges several
• fads, but they are so. - connected that they
make but one allegation, and they are
charged sta making one misdemeanor.
The firsefsiat Charged,* in substance, that
• the Presidentpublielydedared,inAngust , I
Illekehat - the • Thirty :Oath, Congr es sn 1
was ' a "Arcaigr.ega ti--Tpart I
of the States, and not - a• constitutional
I
Congress, intending thereby . to , deny its
constitutional competency to enact laws or
propose senendthents to the Constitution,
and this charge , seems to have been made
-ad introductory, and.. as ':.qualifying that
which follows" namely, that the President,
in pursuance of this declaration, attempted
Vs 'prevent the execution of, the Tenure-6f-
Office act by contriving and attempting to
contrive means to prevent , Mr. Stanton
from 'lnstuning the tinctions of Secretary
'Of War t after the refusal of the. Senate to
concur in his suspension, and also by con
' triving and attempting to , contrive means
to prevent the execution 'of the appropria
tion act of March 2d,-1687, and also to pre
vent the reorganization of the • rebel
State governments, all of the same
' date. The gra:lamp; of the article
seems • to be „Mit the President
attempted to defeat - Abe execution of the
Tenure-of-Office act; and that he did this in
pursuance of declaintion which was in
tended :to invade the constitutional compe
-1 tency. ref Congress to enact laws or propose
cOnstitutional amendments, and by con
.
means to prevent Mr. Stanton from
his office of Secretary, and also
to prevent the execution of the appropria
tion, act rand. rebel State Government , ad.
• . Theaingiesttbstantive matter charged la the
attemptain pp event the execution 'of the
Te act, and with other facts'
alleged either as introductory and ;exhib
iting:this general purpose, or as showing
the 'Means contrived in furtherance of that
attempt, this single matter connected, with
..the other matter
e tr a t z :vi i n:l t y and subse-'
quently alleged , is das the , high mis
demeanor of which the dent is alleged
to have been gu l i ; ly. The general question,
"Gnilty, or not By of high misdemean
' ars as charged, ' seems fully to cover the
"A:age and will be piton this article as well
, others to the :Henate direct in the
mime mode of division'as In the tenth ar
" The division suggested by the Sena-'
40r, from New York (Mr. Cptikling,)
,may: be• • 'mere easily made. It ' Con
,tains 'a mere general allegation to the
, effect that on the •Ifith day of Au gust, ' the
President, with the-intention to set - aside
the rightful authority of Congress and
brin it into contempt, , delivered certain
. scandalous twangs* and therein • uttered
loud threats and bitter menaces against Cen
. grew, thereby_ bringing the office. of Pres-,
ideal into disgraste,'to ilia great scandal Of
bpd citizens, and sets forth in three die
ginat specifications the menaces complained ;
of intrespeet to the several specifications,
and then the question of . "guilty or_ not
guilty of a high: misdemeanor as charged
in the article,"
can also be taken. • ' •
, The. Chief Justice, however, sees no: ob
jection in putting'the general question on
this article in the sense manner as on the
others, for • whether other particular :mea
-1 answer put on thespecifinstioor m us t, the
.to the final questionbe de
termined by the judgment_ of the Senate,
whether the facts alleged in the speeitice
tions have been sufficiently proved, and
'whether, if sufficiently proved, they =dant
te, a high Misdeal:Senor within the meaning
rof the : Constitution. • ~ • _
On_ the whole, therefore, the Chief Justice
.t.hinite the better' practice would be to put
Abe gene - rel question on each article th-
out ,,.. e ttenupting to make any subdivision,

Rev. A. Wheeler, of North Ohio, present
ed numerous petitions for lay delegation.
As the roll -was called almost every dele
gate ,presented petitions, more or less nu
merously signed, in Diver - of the same.
At ten o'clock the speeialorder was taken
up, being the reception of the delegates
from the Methodist Episcopal Church in
Canada. . .
The Secretary read the credentials of the
delegation and afterwards an address .of
the bodywhich they represent.
Mr. Peirette, one of the delegates, was
then
. prosentea and addressed the Confe
rence, giving an interesting sketch of the
origin. ,progress and prospects of Metho
dism in Canada. There are one thousand
ministers and one hundred thonsand mein
-bera,. including different branches, of, the
liethddist family in Canada.
At eleven o'clock the Conference resumed
the consideration of the questhin of ad
mission of the Southern delegates.
Rev. Dr. Foster said that, being Chair
man of the Special Committee, he desired
to harmonize the views-.of the Committee
to constitute the Conferences Conferences
de facto, and thus. admit them to the right
of representation. Every Annual' Confer
ence has the right of representation; of
which they cannot be deprived by this body;
but in the opinion of the speaker
these Southern Conferences were not An
nual Conferences, according to the organic
law of the Church. •The Doctor referred to
the action of the last General Conference,
- endeavoring to show that the enabling act
under which these bodies were organized
did not contemplate their formation with
-out certain disabilities. He contended that
although the . General Conference did not
deprive existing Annual Conferences of
the,, right of , representation, it. could
deny that right to Conferences
to be organized. He said that the claim
ants at the door of this body were not dele
gates, but that in the act under which the .
Southern... Conferences were organized there
wasisething to prevent them from electing
delegates and sending them here, and that
the, neral Conference has power to erect
therninto - .Annual Cenferences, and adbilt '

Senate.
It was ascertained that Senators Conness,
Harlan, Nelson and Morton spoke for and
Senatar Buckalew in opposition to the•con
viction of the President. The expectation

side would express their vieu*S.

Ordered, That the order of the Senate,
that it will proceed at twelvou'clock, noon,
to-morrow, to vote on the articles of im

ST. Louis, May 11.—The publication of
special dispatches from Washington re
garding impeachment; in the evening pa
pers, created intense excitement, 'and
scarcely anything else has been talked of,
since the dispatches which foreshadowed
the acquittal of the President seemed to be
generally believed, and produced a good
deal of despondency among the Radicals,
and corresponding exultation among the
Democrats and Conservatives. The eager
, ness to learn more is by no means lessened
to-night and everybody is on the qvi vice
for the last dispatches.

The Pacific Railroad injunction case was
preliminarily argued bBfore Judge Kreked
of the United States Circuit Court to-day
