This morn- ing there was great interest manifested among the emptoyees as to the result of the yote ex- pected, but about one o'clock the news was re- ceived that the Senate had adjourned til? S.. urday, amd no vote had been taken, which caused great disappointment. Throughout all the Departments of the Gov- ernment during the forenoon the anxiety as to the impeachment yote was very greai, and many applications were made for leave to go to the Capitol. The President's friends were sanguine of acquittal, and offered many bets, but few were accepted. ‘Ine Tax BrLy.—This bill, presented by Mr. Schenck im the House to-day, abolishes the | offices of Revenue Agents and Inspectors of the Revenue Department.

On the opening of the Court this moruing, Judge Cartier said that the Court hed been ad- journed over until to-day to make some dispo- sitien of the case of John H. Surratt, and asked it the counsel were ready to proceed. The District Attorney answered for the prosecution that he was. The Ceurt—Are you all ready 7 Mr. Merrick suggested that the prisoner should be in Court, and the Judge gave the orde-, and while awaitiog his arrival the Court directed the Marshal to see that the bar is limited to gentlemen of the bar, for whose convenience it ‘Wis created, saying that while this trial was in rogress none others would be admitted in the except the jury, without permission ot the Court. ‘There was nota large crowd in attendance, the fact that the prisoner wasto be brought out not being generally known, Messrs. Car- Fington and Wilson were in court represent- ing the Government, and Messrs, Merrick and Bradley, Jr., the prisoner. The accused ar- rived in court, in charge of a baliff, at 10:35. He was di im a black cloth suit, with slouch hat, and appeared quite cheerful. His general appearance has not altered much in consequence of his confinement, Mr. Carri ton said that he was waiting for the defence, he being ready to draw ajury. Mr, Merrick said that he was somewhai surprised. On the 24th of April he received a notice that the case had been set down for to-day. A few days af- ter, when he was engaged i trial of a case in the General Term, Messrs. Pierrepont and Riddle inquired if they (the defence) were in earnest. Mr. Pierrepont said that they (the Prosecution) were not ready. Mr. Pierrepont made an agreement with Bim (Mr. Merrick) that it should not be called this term. The question of bail had been talked of ny Mr. Riddle and himself, but it was still open. After conferring with Mr. Riddle, Mr. Car- rington stated that he had had no agreement with the counsel, but that Judge Pierrepoint and Mr. Riddle had spoken to them on the sup- ject. Me had stated explicitly that he would not consent io a continuance. Mr. Riddle said that Judge Pierrepoint was here one dey last week, and he disliked to try the case at present. He had some impression that Mr. Mernck was not anxious to try the case at this time. Judge Pierrepoint and him- self had an interview with Mr, Merrick, and it was understood that the cas? would not be tried to-day. Mr. Carrington reiterated his statement, and protested against any continuance. They had telegraphed and written for their witnesses, WE Mevich is sacwer & 0 mestion, said that when he understood that the United States had recailed their summons he had ceased preparations for the defense. ‘The Court said he thought he would let this ease go over. It presents this aspect:—While itis desirable it should be tried, it is not to be disguised that an understanding has been had that they were not to prepare for trial to-day, And as ‘understood by the counsel for the de- fendant, uptil the June term, and they acted under that impression. Without counsel see that they can prepare for taking the case up early in this term, as it will probably close by the Commencement of the next term, he would feel constrained to grant the continuance. Mr. Merrick said if he could get ready, it would be bad faith toward Judge Pierrepont, with whom he had a distinct understanding that the case would not be pressed. Mr. Carrington said he had a distinct im- pression from Judge Pierrepont that a contin. uance would not be asked for. The Court said that he was governed in his decision to continue the case. by the impres- sion under which the defence acted, and he directed that the case be continued to the June ttit jurors were here discharged. Mr. Merrick entered a motion to admit the accused to bail, stating that the prisoner had been in ¢'ose confinement for 18 months, in- cluding 60 days on trial: and the jury was dis- charged after several days deliberation. The close confinement is operating prejudicially to bis health, and debarring his counsel of effec- tual assistance in the preparation of the de- fence. They came with sybstantial bail, which would insure his attendance wnen justice de- manded him. He esked if it was in the discretion of the Court, and read from paze #1, Brightly’s Digest, act of 1 ‘be highest crime under the law is treason, an St present there is one prisoner charged with this offence now on bail under authority of the District Court of Virgu Mr. Merrick also Trad trom ‘id Washington's Reports, page 324. He would not make this motion if the accused was standing for his first trial. He referred to doubts that the prisoner could not be tried azaip, but he did not coincide in these doubts, Judge Bisck expresses a doubt on this point, and from him he learned that it has been de- cided in Pennsylvania that a person could not be tried a second time for acrime by which trial his life is placed im jeopardy. Mr. Carrington said that he Would like to give his views on the questions presented The Court.— Well, I will hear you to-morow morning. Mr. Carrington continued, saying that the Court shou!d’ only interpoce to prevent any unnecessary wrong. The defence urged that the prisoner's health required his release on bail. It wes not an ordinary murder with which the accused is charged, but this was linked with treason as will be seen by the date and the name of the victim. It had been the universal practice in this Court to refuse bail in enpital cases, ‘The further hearing was then postponed un- ti] to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. ‘Mr. W. Davidge entered a motion to quash the indictments against Leonard Huyck, of Merchants’ National Bank notoriety, charging him with larceny, embezzling, &c., on the ground that the grand jury which found the indictments were not drawn according to law, the names having been placed in the box sepa- Tately. A DEMORALIZING Scene.—The people of northern New Hampshire gathered in large numbers at Haverhill yesterday to witness the execution of Samuel Mills, a condemaed mur- derer. His request that strangers should not | be permitted to break in upon his sad medita— tions in his cell im the early morning hour seems to have been re; |. But this was a chance for a dramatic dispiay not to be lost, and the doomed man was plsced upon the stand, & spectacle tor the assembled multitude, and kept standing there for half an hour, with an occasional admonition from the sheriff of the number of minutes he had to live. He had made up bis mind to die “game” and in the presence of the assembled thousands he seems to have forgotten that he was about to appear in the presence of his final judge, and to have been anxious only to meet the approval of that throng asa man of firmness. And so, as the half-hour passed away, and the last Prepara- tions were being made, and the sheriff still kept galling over the fleeting minutes, he stood there, enduring the torture which racked his soul, with the hardinood ot an Indian at the stake, and finally died, and in bis last breath bandying words with the spectators, and the lust sounds heard by him op earth were row- dyish commendations of his endurance. Such an execution as this 18 a disgrace to a civilized state—Boston Traveller, May 7.

The Chaplain prayed for the Divine presence in this council chamber to-day, and that the mind of the President would be prepared for the saspense of to-day; the mind of the peo- ple for the result of the issues to be there decided, and that the minds of the Sen- ators might be prepared for the duties which they are called in to fuifill, that they will be faiihful to their high trusts. God biess all the people and preserve the Government, The Chief Justice then took the Chair and the Court was opened in due form, ‘The reading of the minutes of yesterday and after he ‘were commenced by the Secre had proceedes mands moved Senator Edmunds called up the order oifered by bim rescinding the order that the vote on the articles of impeachment be taken at twelve O'clock to-day. Senator Chandler stated that his colleague (Bir. Howard) was taken very sick, and was elirious yesterday. He was anxious to be here when the vote was taken, but could not be here except at the price of his life as his physician had told him- His colleague thought e would be able to be here on Saturday. jo The motion of Senator Edmunds was agreed 0. Senator Chandler then moved that the Sen- ate, sitting as a Courtof Impeachment, adjourn until Saturday. Senator Hendricks moved to amend by mak- ing it Friday. Senator Chandler did not think his colleague could be here before Saturday. Senator Fessenden asked the effect of the adjournment relative to the filing of opinions. The Chief Justice understood it as relating to the final day. The amendment of Senator Hendricks was not agreed to, and the motion of Senator Chand- Jer to adjourn the Court of Impeachment until ‘Saturday was agreed to, On motion of Senator Drake, the Senate, sit- ting ss a Court of Impeachment, then’ ad- journed. The President pro tem. then resumed the Chair. Mr. Drake moved that the Senate adjourn; which was not agreed to. Mr. Yates moved that when the Senate ad- journ it be to meet on Friday. Mr. Anthony said that some of the Senators seemed to think that they were to stay here until September or October. There was a great deal of business now on the table, and it should be disposed of. Every day that they did busi- ness now would make one day less to stay here in the Summer. Mr Sherman said that next week there would probably be a necessity for taking a recess for a few days, to put the Chamber in summer order, and that being the case, it was best to lose no Ume now. Mr Hendricks said there was no reason now why legislative business should not be at once proceed with The evidence and arguments bad all been heard, and he supposed Senators had made up their ‘minds. and were now ina proper irame to attend to legislative business Mr. Drake said be had made the motion to acjeurn over because he believed Senators were not in a condition to attend to business, Mr. Conkling asked what was the matter. r. Drake said said if Senators could not see hat was the matter, it was useless for bim to! hem. The whole conntry now was trem- bling in an agony of suspense. If, in view ot the throes in which the country was now suf- fering, there were Senators heré who were pos- sessed of such composure as to be insensible to it, then he envied them, Mr. Sherman thought to-day was one of the least exciting which they bad passed through, They had met and without the ‘transaction of any business bad adjourned the Court of Im- peachment on account of the sickness of one of their associates. Mr, Yates said it was useless to talk about doing business under present cigcumstances. It was impossible that anything could be prop- erly attended to pending the result of the trial. Mr. Cameron felt calm enough, but thought it was as well to adjourn for to-day, and he theretore renewed the motion to that effect, The concurrent resolntion from the House providing tor an adjournment {rom May 15 to lay 26, Was on motion of Mr. Sumner laid on the table. The President pro tem presented message from the President, eudorsing the Constituuoas of Arkansas and South Carolina. The bill to extend the charter of the city of Washington as received from the House, with amendments, was read. The amendment making 15 days residence only ina ward necessary to vot’, instead of 3 months, being read, Mr. Conness asked its object. He did not know from what quarter the amendment came, it was certainly not calculated to promote fair voting. It looked to him as if intended to pro- vide for that species of manipulating the bal- lots called “colonization.” Under the effect of the amendment, it would be in the power of parties to move from one ward to another, and thus carry the whole city. Mr. Harlan said it was well known that many people changed their residences in the spring montbs, and the object was that these Prople should not thereby lose their votes. rT, Conness said mo such provision as this Was proper in any large city. He moved to exiend the time from 15 to 30 days. ‘Mr. Hendrick did not see that this amend- ment was any worse than one of the provisions inserted ty the Senate, that the mouies of the Corporation should be deposited with one par- heular bank, This amendment was only for the purpose of cerrying the election, Which wastocome offin June. It was feared that there was danger of one party in this city of not being able to elect their candidates, and hence this amendment had been introduced in their interest. Mr. Johuson agreed with the Senator from Catitornia, (Mr. Conness,) and should yote for his amendment, As the amendment stood at present, it was susceptible of being pervert- ed to purposes of fraud. Mr. Sumner was of the impression that it would not be expedient to adopt the amend- ment of the Senator from California, He au- derstood that it was the custom in most of the large cities not to exact a residence of mere than ten or fifteen days, Mr. Conness ‘asked what was the custom in Massachusetts, Mr. Sumner was not so well informed as to the custom im Massachusetts, but he thought that here in Washington the least possible time should be exacted. There were more boarding houses here than in any other large city, and people were constantly changing their resi- G-nees. In addition, this pill had already been sent back once tothe Honse,and there were good reasons why it should not go back. Mr. Hendricks asked if that was a reason vey, the bill should not be sent back. ir. Sumner.—Sometimes it is, and some- times it is not. After some further diseussion, Mr. Conness withdrew his amendment, when it was re- newed by Mr. Buckalew, and was disagreed to by ayes 15, noes 31. ‘The amendment making fiftteen days resi- dence was then e The Senate then adjourned.

Adopted. Mr. Price (Lowa), from the Committee on the Pacific Railroad, reported back the bill to reg- ulate a tariff for freight and rs on the Union Pacific Railrosd, with a substitute by way of amendment. The substitute provides that for the pur of carrying into effect the act of 1862 the Secretary of War, Secre! of the Interior, and the Attorney General shall be constituted a board to meet on the first day ot July iu each year, to fix a tan! of charges for freight and gers on the Union Pacific Railroad; provided that the rates and charges so fixed shall not go into operation until the Toad is completed from Omaha to Sacramento. California. Mr. Johnson (Cal.) asked leave to offer an amendment, so as to provide that the tariff so fixed by the commission shall not exceed eight cents per mile per pound for freight and six cents per mile for each passenger. Mr. Price could not yield to haye that amend- ment offered. Mr. Van Wyck (N. Y.) addressed the House in opposition to the bill. Mr. Bailey (N. Y.) argued that Congress should fix a tariff of rates for itself, and keep the matter within its own contest. Mr. Jobnson (Cal.) moved to strike out the proviso in relation tothe tariff not going into operation until the road is completed from Omaba to Sacramento. Mr. Clarke (Kan.) offereed as an amendment & proviso that the tariff by the commission shall not exceed double the rates charged for freight and passengers upon railroads between the Mississippi at the Atlantic ocean, north of St. Louis. Mr. Farnsworth (Il.) moved to recommit the bill with instruction to report it back fixing the tariff tor freight and fare. After discussion, the previous question was ordered on the bill and pending amendm-nts. A discussion ensued which continued up to the time our report closed. OLOTHING, &c.
