"Stria slerri emocirai, hariott. The Impeachment Trial TVe announced last week the result of the Tote on the 11th Article of the charges against the President. Below we publish the proceedings of the Court on the occasion : May 16th. The Court opened at 12 o'clock. All of the Senators were present. On motion of Senator Williams, it was decided, by a vote of 34 to 19, to vote on the Eleventh Article first. The Republican Senators voting against the calling of the Eleventh Article first, were Messrs. Fessenden, Fowler, Henderson, Ross, Trumbull, Van Winkle and Wiley. On this question Wade Toted for the first time during the trial. Judge Chase, after admonishing the people to quietness, ordered the Clerk to read the Eleventh Article. When the questions were propounded in the terms agreed upon, those voting not guilty were": Bayard, Buckakw, Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Fes senden, Fowler, Grimes, Henderson, Hendricks, Johnson, McCreedy, Norton, Patterson of Ten nessee, Ross, Saulsbury, Trumbull, V.an Winkle .and Vjckers 10. Mr Williams moved a fifteen minutes' recess. Negatived. He then moved an adjournment to the 2Cth. Mr Johnson suggested the announcement of the vote. Judge Chase said that he would not announce .the vote until that on all the articles were taken, unless the Senate ordered otherwise. Drake raised the point that nothing was in order. Dendins the motion to adiourn. Mr Hen derson said that the motion to adjourn was not in order, while the call of the roll was pending. Judge Chase sustained the last point, and directed the Secretary to read the roll ; which, being read, the Chief Justice stated that there were 35 votes for guilty and 19 for not guilty, and that the President was. therefore, acquitted on the Eleventh Article. Judge Chase then stated that the Senate was now in process of carrying out the order to pro ceed to vote upon the articles of impeachment, and no motion was now in order, while that was pending. Mr Conness appealed, and the appeal was sustained 30 to 24. Then by a vote of 32 to 21, the Court adjourned to the 26th. Wade resumed the chair, and after a long de bate, a joint resolution, adjourning to the 25th, was negatived, and the Senate adjourned as usual. After tho result of tho vote was known, the House of Representatives passed a resolution ordering that, for the further and more efficient prosecution of the impeachment of the President, the Managers be directed and instructed to sum mon and examine witnesses, under oath, to send for persons and papers, to employ a stenographer, and to appoint a sub-committee to take testimony, f the expense thereof to be paid from the contin gent fund of the House) was adopted. ' A resolution authorizing the Speaker to add two from those who voted against impeachment to the list of Managers, to be present and assist in investigations, was rejected. Among the witnesses summoned by the Man agers arc D. W. Voorhees, Perry, Fuller of Kan M8. and Gen. Thcs. Ewing. Mat 18. In the House, Mr Stevens offered a resolution, calling for the secret proceedings of the Court. He said, ''No one could doubt that there was deep damnation somewhere, and he wanted to find out who was guilty." Answer ing the question whether the Senators would have been justified in committing perjury, Stevens said : "Well, Sir, I don't think it would have hurt thcni'much." The resolution passed. The Eleventh Article. The Radicals regarded the eleventh article of impeachment as the strongest of the whole nuin .ber. This article was drawn by Mr Th.iddeus Stevens .after the others were adopted by the .House. Mr Stevens said this one "was worth all the others put together." We give below his remarks on presenting it to the House : ''This charge- is not here contained in the articles reported by the committee, and unless it is inserted there can be no trial on it. If there I threird lairgets, as I knoto there trill, and mviling judge, and if without that, article they do not acquit him, they are greener than ever I .was when commenced practice ot the Court of Quart r Sessions. If that article be inserted, it vwill show both the removal and the attempt to defeat tho reinstatement ; and although the Sen ate should decide the other charges in his favor, .how could he escape from this one ?" Washington Items. No one well advised pretends now, that there .ean be a conviction of the President upon any of the ten articles of impeachment remaining un disposed of. The eleventh article was selected by the advocates of impeachment as the one on which they could convict, if conviction could be had at all. It is conceded that there will be as many votes for acquittal on each of the remain ing articles, and in some cases more th an were cast for acquittal on the eleventh article, and therefore the President cannot be convicted, as the case stands in the Senate. Among some extreme impeachers we yet hear threats of further articles when the new South ern Senators shall be admitted to make a sure thing of a two-thirds vote for the removal of the President, but the more moderate and judicious republicans deprecate these threats and refuse to countenance any further prosecution of the impeachment project after the articles now pend ing in the Senate shall be disposed of. It is not believed that a majority of the republicans of either the Senate or House would agree to cou sidera proposition to get up new articles. President Johnson was in a Masonic proces sion, on the 20th, on foot. Ex-President Buchanan is worse. The President has received a large number of , dispatches from all parts of the country congrat ulating bun on his acquittal. The stories about Chief J ustice Chase and the Presidency are finally coming into some tangi ble shape. He has formally put himself into .the hands of his friends, and said that, while he is not a candidate, he cannot object to the use of his name, and will run if nominated by the Con servatives. The movement in his behalf seema .to originate in Philadelphia. Gen. Logan (absent from the House on leave) was stoned at York, Pennsylvania. " One of the stones, missing Logan, atiuck Got.

The certificates of election will be sent direct to the State executive and judicial officers, and to the members elect of the House of Represen tatives of the Congress of the United States; but for convenience and safety of transmission, the certificates for the members elect of the General Assembly will be sent to the Commanding Officer Post of Kaleigh, for delivery upon application by the persons who are entitled to receive them. For like reasons, the certificates for the county offices will be sent to the Commanding Officers of Posts for the counties within their jurisdiction, for delivery or transmittal to the persous who are entitled to receive them. v A certified abstract of the returns made by the election officers, will be prepared and deposited in the office of the Secretary of State for the State of North Carolina. Uuder the provisions of the Constitution, the General assembly of the State elected thereunder ''shall meet on the fifteenth day after the ap proval thereof (the Constitution) by the Congress of the United States, if it fall not on Sunday; but it it should so fall, then on the next day there after." (Article II, Section 29.) The officers of the Executive Department of the btate, ''hrst elected, shall assume their duties ten days after the approval of this Constitution by the Congress of the United States." (Arti cle III, Section 1.) The term of office of all officers of the Judi cial Department '-shall begin upon the approval ot this Constitution by the Congress of the Uni ted States." (Article IV, Section 32.) The county officers provided for and elected "shall enter upon their duties teu days after the approval of this Constitution by the Congress of the United States." (Article VII, Section 10.) But in order that there may be no confusion. delay, or failure in the administration of justice or other governmental functions, and to ensure the safety of public property, the Solicitor of J udicial Circuits, clerks of courts, sheriffs, coro ners and other executive officers charged with active administration duties, or with the care of public records, or the custody of public moneyes or public property, will not be relieved from re sponsibility for the due discharge of the' duties of their offices until their successors are duly i qualified. it is mace the duty ot Commanders of Posts, within the limits of their respective jurisdictions to see that the officers elect who are able to quali ty under the Loubtitution and Jaws of the United fetates and the Coubtitutiou and laws of the State, aud have so qualified, are duly installed in the offices to which they have been elected and as above prescribed. Under the requirements of the ninth Section of tbe law of July 23, 1867, amendatory of the law of March 2, 18G7, "to provide for the more efficient government of the rebel States," the of ficers elect, both of the legislative and executive departments, will before entering upon the dis charge of the duties of their offices, take and sub scribe the oath of office prescribed by the law of v MJ fcv ivviim a 11 til ui uujtc, auu for ether purposes." ?

Circuit Court, in this State we believe, will prove of great interest to our citizens, and if sustained by the Supreme Court, to which tribunal an appeal has been taken, will also be a great relief to our people. The decision is, that no assignee is entitled to maintain a suit which his assignor is unable to maintain, and its effect will be to debar parties living in the same State with their debtors from making over accounts-or notes held by them to agents in bordering States, whereby they may evade the State stay-laws by bringing suit in the Federal Courts. Wilmington Star. AgriculturaL Our readers may remember a statement, made by one of our correspondents, last Fall, of a pur chase, by the Society of Friends, of a tract of land, near High Pointt to be used for a Model farm. - . This farm is now making some headway. It contains 200 acres, and cost, with the residence, 84,400. It was the property of Nathan Hunt, of Guilford, called Springfield, or in a settlement called Springfield. The design is to promote, by example, the introduction of improved imple ments, artificial manures, selected seeds and stock; to encourage agricultural Clubs, and to stimulate enquiry and research. Dr. Sampson, of Washington, D. C, is the Superintendent, and he is doing a good thing among his people. Already, a good number of clubs have been organized ; manuring has re ceived a new start, about two tons of clover seed were sold at cost in February, and near 400 subscribers have been received for Agricultural Journals. This is our safest plan : Work the soil stir one another to work. Will not our readers fol low the hint given at Springfield, and go at it in earnest; Kaleigh sentinel. TnE London Press on Impeachment. London, May 18. The Times savs that the Eleventh Article is almost too vague , for any substantial charge, but the vote upon it corrects the fear of any party bias and shows the case to have been judged on its merits alone. The Morning Telegraph says: "That dignity and decorum have marked the whole trial, and the non-removal of the President is its most fitting close. Even the most ultra Radicals will be compelled to admit this nt no distant day." Tbe Standard says the Radical plot has been beaten and the country has been saved the shame of deposing of its Chief Magistrate for refusing to obey an illegal act of Congress.
