PROCEEDINGS TO-DAY. —_.——_ For a rainy day, the attendance to-day was arge, but not as brilliant as in better weatner; the badies not being inclined to soil their bright plumes in the current mud &nd drizzle. Among the personages present were Mr. Thornton, the British Minister, (a pretcy con- stant and apparently interested spectator) Secretary Welles and Judge Fisher. The two latter are summoned a6 Witnesses, and will probably be placed upon the stand to-day. Mr. Stanbery is considerably improved in health, but by the advice of his physician dors not venture ont in the present condition of the weather. Very much of the time to-day was occupied in discussing the admissibility of certain por- tions of the evidence of Walter S. Cox, of the ‘Washington bar, in relation to the efforts made by the President and his counsel to get the Thomas-Stanton case before the Supreme Court. General Butler's objections were overruled toa considerable extent by the Seuaje, and he seemed to lose temper a little in consequence: After the recess, Mr. R. S. Merrick was placed upon the stand. MEETING OF THE MANAGERS.— According to their custom, the Impeachment Managers met this morning in the room ot the House Com- mittee on the Judiciary. Having nc particular business before them, the matters relating to the trial which were touched upon were only such as came up in the course of general con- versation. Part, at least, of the Managers think favorably of the proposition to have the speeches of the Managers who canzot be heard in the Senate delivered in the House in Com- mittee of the Whole, before the case is closed in the Court; but it is probable that the matter will not come before the House as a measure reported by the Managers. It is understood that the arguments of all the Managers who choose to make them shall go before the coun- try in some form. ‘The result of the prevailing impression tha; the trial is drawing te a close is a growing position to hold business sessions each day in both Houses, not with a view of sending bills to the present Executive for signature, but to advance the various measures that reguire time, so that the session need not continue all summer. A Goop STORY is told of Mr. Stanbery, to the effect that a note addressed to his son, request- ing him to join a party to learn “the German,” fell by some mistake into the hands of the elder Mr. Stanbery, who answered very poli with an expression of regret, tha: his prote: sional engagements would preven: his attempt. ing just now the acquirement of a new language Tue Hovse Comittee oN Commence had a meeting this morning, and discussed the bill making provision for improvements in western rivers and harbors. The sub-ccmmittee, com- pesed of Messrs. Eggleston and Elliot, made a fayorable report on the bill; bat other members manifesting ® desire to consider it more fnlly, it was laid over until next meeting. It is un- derstood that the majority of the committee are fayorable to the passage of the bill, and wil recommend its passage by the House with slight modifications. ARKANSAS REPRESENTATIVES.—Hon. James Hinds, Representative from the Little Rock District of Arkansas, arrived here to day, and filed bis credentials with the Clerk of the House. His colleagues, Messrs. Roots and Bowlen, are expected here in a few days. HYMENIAL.—We understand that General Bidwell, ex-M. ©. from California, and the owner of the largest farm ia the United States, is to be married here to-day. In Georgetown, Lieutenant E. M. Chester, 4th artillery, is to be married this afternoon to a daughter of A. H. Dodge, Esq. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LirE.—The residence of Jos. C. G. Kennedy, Esq., No. 280 H street, between 13th and 1th, was crowded this morn- ing with a large number of distinguisned gen- tlemen and ladies, to witness the nuptials of his daughter, Miss Annie E. Kennedy, to Gen. John Bidwell, of Calitornia, who was Repre- sentative from that State in the 30th Congress. President Johnson and his daughter, Mrs. Patterson, General Grant, General Hancock, several members of the Diplomatic Corps, and many prominent officials were present. The ceremony was performed | by | the Rev. Dr. Gur! +4 of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church at half past twelve o'clock. General Wistar, of California, and Mr. C. J. Sergeant, of Pennsylvania, acted as groomsman; Miss Sallie Kennedy, and Miss Gerolt, daughter of the Prussian Mimister, as bridesmaids. General Bidwell and his bride will leave in the early train this evening for New York, and take the first steamer for Cali- fornia, accompanied by Mr. Gurley, who has obtained a leave of absence from his congrega- tion and will visit California for the benefit of his health. Tax oN MANUFACTURERS.—It is announced atthe Revenue Department that the tax upon sales by manufacturers imposed by section 4 of receut revenue law is returnable in the dis- trict where the articles are manufactured, in- stead of the district of sale, where manufac- ture and sale are not in the same district.

Acted as counsel for Gen. Thomas on Satur- cay, Feb. 224, in the case against bim in the District Court ‘Mr. Manager Butler objected to this testi- mony. He did not see how the exp!oyment of Mr. Cox as counsel for Gen. Thomas had any- thing to do with this case. He did not propose to argue this case, but would ask the Senate under what rule of evidence, even one just voted down by the Senate, the deciaration of Gen. Thomas to his counsel ean be putin as Durtis suggested chat if the Managers wait they would find what the counsel desired. They did not intend to bring in the declaration of Gen. Thomas. Mr. Curtis then asked witness the qnestion, when, by whom, and under what circumstancs he was employed and acted as counsel ? Mr. Butler objected. The Chief Justice ruled the question admis- sable, Mr. Cox said he was called upon by a mes- senger on Saturday, the 2d of Febraary, who said Mr. Seward wauted to see him. Mr. Butler.—I object to any declarations of Mr. Seward. The Chief Jnstice—You need not state the declarations of Mr. Seward. ‘Witness resuming, said Mr. Seward informed hum that the President wanted to see him, Went tothe President's House at five o'clock in the afternoon. The President and Gen. Thomas were sitting together ina room. The President said— Mr. Butler (interrupting).—I object to any- thing the President said at five o'clock in the afternoon. eianenter) Senator Edmunds asked that counsel reduce to writing what they desired te prove by this ‘witness. The Counsel submitted that they to prove by the evidence that Mr. Cox wasem- ployed professionally by the President in the nee of Gen. Thomas to take suc . roce:d- ing: would result in bringing Mr. iton's right to hold the office of Secretary of War before the Judicial Tribunal, and for the issuing of a writ of quo werranto. Senator Edmunds asked the date of this oc- currence. Mr. Curtis.—February 22d. Mr. Manager Butler objected tor two rea- sons :—First, because it ws ter the act was done; and, second, because {t was atter Mr, Stanton had found it necessary to take means to protect bimeelf that the President sent for Mr. Cox to take these measures. Gen. Sher- man testified, and repeated it at the request of Senator, that the President had said that it was impossible to make up a case to go to the courts, and in the face of this he went on and made the removal, and then after the action of the Senate and the House, he sends for « very proper person to act as counsel for General Thomas to assist in making up a case. Gene- Tal Thomas was discharged upon the motion ot hisown counsel, and this fact could not be gotten rid of by parole or any other evidence. ‘The Managers insisted thatuie records of the should be produced to prove these facts, There was po evidence to show that the Presi- dent went ito the court for the purpose of bringing up the case of Mr. Stanton. He hought that the proper officer to proceed by warranto Was Ube Attorney General, Mr. Evarts sai the only Court with which the Attorney General had official connection was the Supreme Court of the United States. At the time of the conversation with General Sherman, which had been referred to, the President did not anticipate the necessity of bringing this case to the judicial tribunals for de terminntion. He had expected that Mr. Stan- ton would retire without trouble. When Mr. Stanton refased to surrender the office to Gen. Thomas, the President tuen have the matter decided upon the most speedy manner by the highest judi- cial tribunal im the country. Now it is objected to this evidence that the action of the President does not appear om the records of the court, ‘The Pre-ident, by the unex; resistance of Mr. Stanton, was ob to fin remedy by the process of the law. They wou! tbow ‘that the case of General Thomas, wi ‘WAS so fiagrant at first, became very inoffensive when the desire of the President to take the whole matter to the Supreme Court by writ of hateas corpus became apparent. The intention of the President beimg thus thwarted, he was compelled to 190k for other means, Mr. and claimed that counsel continually mi tented the position of the manogers.

About three o'clock yesterday morning, Ames and Horton, of the General Post Office, in New York city, who where in charge of the postal car, saw the bell- Tope straighten out and break in two, when Mr. | Judd remarked to one of the officers that he bad | lost his rear cars. They ran to the rear plat- | form ot the cnr, when tour cars were seen roll- | ingdown a precipice from seventy-five to one bundred fee high. The scene of the accident is thirteen miles beyond Port Jervis, on the Dela~ ware division of the road. The sides of the precipice are formed of jagged rocks, and in the descent the cars were broken to pieces, At “the bottom is a culvert, through which flows a stream emptying into the Delaware river. The | disaster was caused bya broken rail, which | threw the rear car immediately in front, and the whole were precipitated down the embank- ment. The cars, in going over the embankment | turned several times before reachi the | boitom, and were nearty demolished, A ing-car was enurely yed by fire. Passengers immediately began to rescue the Wounded and remove the bodies of the killed. | Many of the latter could not be recognized.
