Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
IMPEACHMENT.
Friday, March 9.

The Court of Impeachments was opened at 12 o'clock, the Managers of the House of Representatives attending.

Mr. Nicholson again stated that the Managers had adduced all the testimony in support of the articles of Impeachment, which they considered necessary to substantiate them. On that testimony they therefore rested the prosecution.

But, understanding informally, that it was intended to bring forward additional testimony; they reserved the right after hearing it, of offering such other testimony and remarks as they might consider proper.

On the request of Mr. Tracy, two Senators, Messrs. Olcott and Plumer, of New Hampshire, were examined.

After their examination several of the witnesses, previously adduced, were interrogated:

When Mr. Nicholson addressed the court, and said the Managers of the House of Representatives considered the testimony offered in support of the articles of impeachment so conclusive and pointed, as to render it impossible for them to elucidate or enforce it by any observations in their power to make. He was therefore, directed by the Managers to inform the Court that they submitted the articles on the evidence offered, entertaining no doubt of full justice being done by the decision of the Senate.

After putting an interrogatory to one of the witnesses previously examined, the doors of the Senate were closed, with the view, it was understood, of deciding on the articles.

We learn that a motion was made to postpone the further proceeding in the trial to the day of and lot. Yeas 20-
Nays 10.

This motion was supported by Mr. Tracy and Mr. Hillhouse, and opposed by Mr. John Smith (of Ohio) and Mr. Cocke.

Mr. Nicholas moved that the House of Representatives be informed that the Senate will on Monday proceed to pronounce judgment.

A motion was then made to adjourn the Court until to morrow, and carried.
