THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL. The Impeachment Court was opened this morning to nearly empty galleries; the expecta- tion that it would go mto vecret session for de- liberation directly after the reading of the jour- nal preventing the attendance of the usual au- dience. The Journal having been read, the Chief Justice announced that as the Senate was sitting for deliteration the doors would be closed. Mr. Sumner rose toa point of order, saying that the Senate having adjourned and met again in open session, be held it required a, Vote to close the doors again tor deliberation. ‘The Chief Justice refused to entertain any pro- position until the galleries had been cleared. Mr. Trumbull said he wished to raise a point of order betore the doors were closed; but the reporters, who were holding-on to the last mo- ment, were obliged to retire before he finished what he had tosay. It is umderstood thatthe Senate is occupied ‘with theorders.and additional notes heretofore offered by Mr. Edmunds and Mr. Sumner. Impeachment stock is tolerably firm to-day. George Wilkes, of the New York Spirit of the Times, bets General Van Valkenburg, Minister to Japan, $500 that the President will be con- victed. 4 P. u.—The Senate has been in secret session all the afternoon, and there is every prospect that there will be no adjournment until a late hour this evening. Up to this hour, however, nothing has been done but discuss the question of modifying the rules to regulate debate while deliberating. Two motions were made to fix the time for taking a final yote. The first provides that the vote shall be taken on Monday next, before tnree o’clock, and the other on Tuesday. 6 The last motion in the opinion of well in- formed Senators will be adopted by the Senate. P.S.—At half past 3 o'clock the Senate, in secret session, agreed to adjourn over until Monday next. It was also agreed to take the final yote 01 impeachment at twelve o'clock on Tuesday, thus allowing but one day for debate. THe ARKANSAS ConvEeNTION.—Major Gen- eral Gillem has written a letter to General Grant, enclosing the returns (in several respects incomplete) of the recent election in Arkansas on the Constitution. He mentions several ir- regularities, and says if his order concerning the election had been complied with the ratifi- cation of the Constitution would be indisputa- ble. The majority for the ratification is r»port- €d to be about twelve hundred, but, as an offset to this, he says the nineteen hundred yotes in Pulaski and Jefferson Counties cannot be as- certained to be for or against the Constitution; And that each party charges tie other with fraud. THe Wuite Hovse.—A large number of visitors were at the Executive Mansion to-day, nearly all of whom were admitted to see the President. Secretary Seward, Gen.

SENATE ADJOURNED UNTIL MONDAY —o—— TRURsDAv, May >. SENATE.—Atter prayer, the Presideut pro tem. vacated the chair, and the Chief Justice took possession, and directed the Sergeant-at- Arms to open the court; after which, by his order, the journal of yesterday's Proceedings was read by the Secretary. Neither the Managers of Impeachment or the House of Representatives wer pcesent, it being understood that the Senate would notify them When it was ready to receive them at the bar. Mr. Nelson was the only one of the counsel for the President who was in his seat at the open- ing of the court. he Chief Justice stated that when the busi- ness now before the Senate was being consid- ered yesterday it was with closed doors, and before it could be pi with the doors must again ve closed, unless the Senate diaected otherwise. Arms then ordered the door- ‘The Sergeant. keepers lo clear the galleries, Senatot Howe could see no reason why the doors should be closed. The Chief Justice said it must be done under the rules of the Senate. Senator Hendricks made some remarks, which were inaudible in the reporter's gallery. Senator Sumner rose to a point of order thai the Senate had met im open session, and an or- der of the Senate was now necessary before the doors should be closed. The Chief Justice said debate could not be permitted, and rapped Mr. Sumner to order, Senator Sherman asked whether it was pro: posed to decide the pending question without debate. Senator Sumner said he did not propose to go into that question, and was proceeding m his remarks when the Chief Justice again called him to order, Senator Trumbull said be desired to make a motion before the doors were closed, but the reporters were unable to hear it, as the assis- tants of the Sergeant-at-Arms weuld not per- mit them io remain. House oF REPRESENTATIVES.—Mr, Laflin (N. Y.) reported resolutions to print 500 copies each of the constitutions of South Carolina and Arkansas; also, 5 000 copies of the report of the Freedmen’s Bureau; and 15,000 copies of Tay- lor’s report of mineral resources of States east ot the Rocky Mountains, allof which were passed, Mr. Pike (Me.), from Committee on Naval Affairs, reported a bill in relation to protection of the rights of American seamen in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. [It requests the President to send a sufficient fleet to the gulf for the protec- tion of our fishermen there. Mr. Pike explained the bill. He said that un- der the reciprocity treaty our fishermen andthe Canadian fishermen had equal rights in these waters. After that treaty was repealed, and the Dominion of Cansda was created, the Proy- inces put a tux of 50 cents per ton on American fishermen. That sum was paid, and the next year the tax was raised to $! per ton. That yas also paid, and now it had been proposed in the Canadian Parliament to increase the tax to #4 per ton, and to send a sufficient Canadian force to compel the payment of the tax. This iegisiation of the Dominion would have the effect to drive American fishermen from the waters. It was therefore necessary to pass sume such resolution as this, Mr. Benjamin (Mo.) asked if the President did not have authority now to send a fleet. Mr. Pike said the resolution simply request- ed the President to exercise his authority. Mr. Washburne (Lil.) thought this resolution should be very carefully considered, as it was not framea to haye the force of law, and tt might lead to difficulty between the two Gov- ernments. The consequences of paxsing this resolution should be carefully considered. Mr. Chanler (N. Y.) said one objection he had to the resolution was that the fising busi- ness of New England was not now conducted as formerly solely by the fishermen, but the business had to some extent got into the hands of monopolists, Another objection was that he was oppored to vesting so much unlimited power in the hands of the President and Secre- lary of the Navy, especially when the power would be exercised, not so much in the interest of the actual fishermen, as in the interest of wealthy corporatiens and monopolies. Mr. Butler (Mass.) urged the adoption of the resolution. He insisted that it was but an ex- ercise of justice on behalf of the United States Government. It was not an interference with the regular business of diplomacy, nor did he Anticipate any great danger to result from the —— of the resolution. T. Benjamin (Mo.) thought if there wasany Tesl necessity to take any action upon this sub- ject, there should be a formal law . and hota simple resolution of request, behind which the Secretary of the ba hey nd shield himsel; afterwards. The President and Secretary of the ray knew. best whether a fleet should be sent to the point named, and such a resolution as this was not necessary Mr. Pike explained the great injustice that the American fishermen suffered from the sc- tion of the Canadian authorities, and thought that if the navy could not be employed to pro- tect this branch of commerce it had best be Abolished. Years ne these wrongs were per- Petrated, and now the wrong was to be dupli- cated. All that was asked was that a few ves- sels should be sent to the Gulf, and he did not fear that it would result in war. Mr. Lawrence (O.) thought the resolution to some extent involved our Foreigh relations, and he thought it improper to pass the resolu. Hons without referring it to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Mr. Spalding (U.) moved to amend be in- serting words to make the resolution to p! tect the rights of American citizens unsisting treaties. Mr. Pike accepted the amendment and de- manded the previous question which was secondee, Mr. Benjamin moved to lay the bill and ‘amendment on the table and demanded the yeas and nays, which were ordered, and the motion to lay the table was rejected; yeas, 51; nays, 76, Mr. Pike then rose to close ‘debate aud made ‘& generat speech upon Commerce. Alter a long statistical speech, Mr. Pike pro- ceeded to argue that greater advantages should be given to the ship building interest, and in the course of his remarks referred to advan- tages that the House seemed disposed to give to manufacturers, thus g‘ving the advantages to the rich. Mr. Myers (Pa.) di¢ not wish the least idea to go out that the House made its tax laws tor the advantages of the rich, and as he was going on with his remarks, Mr. Pike declined to yield further, and Mr. Myers was under- stood to say that the gentleman was afraid of jebate, Mr. Pike, mi: apprehending the remark, was understood to call Mr. Myers a puppy. Mr. Scofield ( Pa.) called the gentieman from Maine to order, The Speaker had not beard the remark, and ordered it to be taken down; but before ‘that could be done a mutual and satisfactory ex- planation ensued, both gentlemen having mis- apprehended the remark of the other, Mr. Pike then proceeded with his remarks, and advocated the repeal of the tax on tonnage. Mr. Kelley (Pa.) asked Mr. Pike if it was not @ fact well ed in history that wher nations neglected the improvement of ther internal af. fairs and became great commercial nations, that ‘their decadence dated trom that time. Mr. Pike would not now enter into a discus- sion of that question, and after some further discussion the question was taken npon the bill in relatien to send a fleet to the St. Lawrence Gull, and it was passed—yeas 2, nays 39. ——_-«+e-_____ s7 In Pro’ LOCAL NEWS. Meeting of Public School Teachers. A meeting of the teachers of the public schools of Washington was held at five o'clock yester- day afternoon, in the Seaton school-house, on Finth street, opposite Wesley chapel. The ob- jeet of the meeting was to take steps to induce the Corporation to pay salaries now due the teachers for the months of April and March, and ‘odate. More than ball the teachers of the Bublic schools of the city were present. Messrs Vilson, Tustin, and Woodward, of the Board of Trustees, Mr. F. Macartney, editor of the Ezpress, Mr. N. Sardo, ot the Republican, Mr. Lawrenson, of the Chronicle, Alderman ©. §. Noyes, and Prof. Daniel, teacher of music, ‘were also present. Mr. 'S. John Thomson, teacher of grammar school in the First Ward, opened the meeting by stating ats objects, and said the delay in pay- ing the teachers had come to that point which conid not be borne any longer. On motion, Mr. J. W. Hant was appointed secretary of the meeting. Mr. John E. Thompson regretted there was not @ larger attendance of teachers present. ‘The object of the meeting was a good one, the tacts should go to the public, and he sub. mitted the following preamble and resolutions Whereas the authorities have failed to pro- vide for the maintenance of the public schoo! system of this city, and the trustees of the pub- lic schools are unable to pay the salaries of their teachers; and whereas this state of things does not arise from temporary causes, and we do not Now perceive that we can ov paid the re- gprs amounts due to us within any reason- je time: Therefore, be it Resolved. That we respectfully, but reluctant- ly, give notice to the Board of Trustees, that we shall be compelled to suspend our labors unless our salaries are regularly paid. Resolved, That we bereby express to the Board of Trustees our gratitude for their endeavors to obtain the requisiie funds to continue the sys- tem, and also for their efficient and kind aid in the discharge of our duties which bas been given to us and to the school system gratuitously, aid which bas elevated our schools to a degree of excellence that will compare advan- tageously with systems of public instruction much older and far better provided with the means of success, Resolved further, That if we are compelled to suspend our work it will be with deep concern regret, and for no otber reasons than that no effective provision is made for the support of our public schools, aud that unless our im- mediate employers—the Board of Trustees— are permitted to have some control of the money paid by the people expressly for the education of the children of our city there will probably not be any diminution of the evils against which We to-day most earnestly protest. Resolved, That it is not the design of our ac tion to-day to assume an attitude of insubord nation unfriendly to any portion of our eity government, and especially to the Board of Trustees o whom we are under so many obli- gations, but it is our desire to inaugurate a movement tending to place our school system ona basis of permanent success and greater efficiency, and for this purpose we ask the co- operation of all good citizens—the friends of public education in the City C the Congress of the United States. In reference to one of the resolutions, Mr, T. ssid the Board of Trustees were utterly power- Jess in the control of the funds: but the object of the resolution Was to have a radical change effected. that the Board of Trustees may have control of the money appropriated for the pay- ment of school teachers. Mr. J. W. Hunt said that unless he could get his pay. and that speedily, he would have to tender his resignation as a teacher, because he could not pay his grocer,baker or buteber’s bills without money. He had been told that a landlord has ordered a lady teacher to move from his house unless she paid her rent; and he knew of a lady who was compelled to pawn her watch in order to get the necessaries of life. He bad hopes the bill before the ( cils would have passed ere this, but it is in the hands of a committee of the Counc and when they wouid report no one knew. One thing he Would not do—sell his bills at a uSurious rate to obtain money for the wauts of bome. Mr. Thompson said the presence of a ma jority of the Board ot Trustees was an evi- dence of the good feeling of the board, and uo lady teacher need fear complaint from them for any action they might take in this move- ment. Mr. Hunt said one of the Board of Truster, who was not des an: told bim the movemen: Was right, and to go abead, as he was sick of the dilly-dallying in the pay of the teachers’ sal un J. Thomson endorsed the resolutions Mr. heartily, and said the trustees and the people of Washington were with the teachers in their | Just demands. The resolutions were respect- fully couched, and it was with no spirit of hostility to any one, that the teachers now re- | solve to obtain their just dues. He was sure that the schools here compared favorably with those of the North, notwithstanding the detec- live system here, and the onerous labors pisced on wachers, many. of them having to carry two school on their shoulders. He be- ileved it wrong not to let the money be dis- bursed by the trustee, as they were the employ ers of the teachers. He did not believe Mayor of the city would do an intentional wrong, nor any one else in authority. and he was glad a resolution was engratted attaching no blame to the city government, but there was someting wrong, surely, and he endorsed the resolution. Mr. Woodward said the teachers could feel where the shoe pinched, and have a right to express their sentiments m regard to their grievances. There would have been more Present, but for the reason that some thought it might look like an act of insubordination,and others were detained by home duties,” He sympathized heartily with the teachers, aud if he had the money, or could raise it, he would Pay them at once all due to them, aud more too, for they were poorly paid at best. Mr. F. lscartney thought no fair-minded man could take exception to the resolutions. If any objection could be made to them, it was that they were not strong enough. The money that was intended for the pay of the teachers should not be met into general school fund, but set aside for the teachers, and be thought some action looking to that end would be the Proper course of the meeting. Mr. J. E. Thompson said the course is to cease labor unless it be paid for, and the remedy is in the determination. He thought the parenis of the pupils would not consent to suifer the inconveniences of having the public schools closed for many days; and the hearts of the People were with the teachers in this matier. r. Woodward said the scbool tax in Car- lisle, Penn., was $1.01 on the hundred, and in Pennsylvania generally it was $3.50. Here the people have the colic if called upon to pay 25 cents on the hundred for school purposes. He would say, open and above board, that be would vote for no man who was not a thorough friend of the school system. Miss Thomas, a teacher in the 2d district, gave an eloquent picture of the sufferings of the teachers, and of the heart-sickness experienced | from ineffectual attempts to sell their certifi- cates at a discount to obtain money to buy bread. She narrated her own experiences iu ting city bankers and money lenders; fail- ing to induce them to purchase her certificates at any price, When redaced to her last penny, and with no source uf sid in prospect, she Te. ceived tem: aid from the fat! of one of her pupils, himself a laboring man, who loaned her $20 and sent ber some provisions. Forher- self, she endorsed the resolutions: she was a tree woman; lived ina tree city, and was not afraid to express ber sentiments. Mr. J. O. Wilson said he fully endorsed the action of the teachers of the city. He was heartily rejoiced when he saw a notice in the Evenrxa R of the meeting of the teachers, He could not see how any objection could be to this meeting of the their grievances. He had hoped in the com. mencement of the year it wot schools, but he found he was To correct some misapprehensions it might be necessary to state the condition of things.
