TRIUMPH OF THE FERRY REFORMERS ALBANY, May 10, ash, The Assembly to-day adopted thirty-eight articics of impeachment in the cage of Judge G. G. Barnard, and mappointed anagers to conduct the trial for impeachment. At the afternoon session, and before the articles ofimpeachment were presented, Mr. Vedder of- fered a resolution to the effect that when the committee appointed to prepare the articles shall have reported the Assembly immediately re- solve itself into Committee of the Whole for the consideration of the articles; that speeches in committee be limited to twenty Minutes cach; that at ten o'clock in the morning ofthe second day's consideration the committee shall proceed to vote upon any amendments which May be offered; and that at not later than one O'clock in the afternoon of the same day the com- mittee shall rise and report their action to the House, which shall immediately, and without @ebate, vote thereon; and that if the articles are @greed upon the Ifouse shall immediately select, by ballot, nine managers to conduct the trial, Mr. Fields moved, as an amendment, that the Speeches be limited to ten minutes each, and the Whole debate to an hour and a half, Mr. Vedder accepted this amendment. Mr. Husted now made an unsuccessful effort to designate the managers. He offered a substitute for the latter part of the resolution, to the effect that Messrs. Alvord, Niles, Prince, Strahan, Tilden, Tebey, D. B. Hill, Lincoln and Vedder, all members ofthe Judiciary Committee except Messrs. Alvord and Lincoln, to be appointed as the managers. ‘This resolution was lost by a vote of 62 to 38, and then Mr. Vedder's resolution, as amended by Mr. Fields, was adopted, THE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT. * Mr. Vedder, from the committee appointed to pre- Pare the articles of impeachment, immediately pre- sented a printed document, consisting of thirty- eight articles of impeachment against Judge Bar- Bard. Originally there were thirty-nine articles, but before presenting them the committee struck out the ‘one in relation to the action of Judge Barnard in the divorce case of Thomas Ficlds, who is a mem- ber-of the House. ‘The House immediately resolved itself into Com- mittee of the Whole, Mr. Mackay in the chair, and the Clerk proceeded to read the voluminous and fermidabie-looking document.

Immediately on reassembling this evening the subject was resumed, the special order being the election of managers to conduct the trial. There ‘wae considerable preliminary manwuvring about the appointing of tellers, some members wanting to have them appointed by the Speaker and others bythe House. There was some excitement over this proceeding, as though some members had fears of unfairness on the part of the tellers who might be appointed. Mr. Fields moved that Messts. Moseley and Lough- Tan act as tellers, but after some remarks from Mr. Lewis, which Mr. Moseley interpreted as personal to Dimeelf, but which Mr. Lewis disclaimed having gach intent, Mr. Moseley declined to act. Finally the matter was scttled to the satisfaction of all parties ‘by the Speaker appointing Messrs. Burns and Hill.

Mr. Cole supplemented this stroke of the opposition with a resolution calling upon the Secre- tary of War for information relative to the expedi- ency of reserving the isiand for military purposes, and also relating to the effect, if any, upon the harbor of Francisco by approaching the island from the mainland with railroad structures. Mr. Stewart asserted that all the om- cial information called for was already in the pos- | session of the Senate, but offered to let the resolu- | tion pass without his objection, if the enemies of | the bill would allow it to be referred to the Pacific Railroad Committee. The effrontery of this bar- | gain brought Mr. Casserly to his feet, and pending further discussion the bill went over. The efforts of Senator Kellogg, supported by Gov- ernor Morton, to secure action on the Louisiana Election bill are only equailed in pertinacity by Mr. Sumner’s constant urging of his civil rights hobby. Kellogg manages, with shrewd parliamentary diplomacy, to get it up every day, and a discussion follows, the brunt of which is sustained by Morton.
