For three days past, the Senate have been engaged as a high court of impeachment consequently no other business could be acted on by .either branch of 4he .Legislature. The trial beforethem is the case Of Thomas U. Huberts, a justice of .the peace for Floyd county, on a charge of perjury. An. universal regret appears to prevail that no other than the present expensive mode c%n,b*-adopted under the Constitution to try these offeoces. But the expense should not be considered, wheu the purity of an officer, in whose acts all are more or less interested, is brought in question. Messrs. M'Kinney and Hawk were appointed managers on the part of the House of Representatives' .Mr. Farnham, Assistant Secretary to the Senate, was as signed by the Court as counsel for the respondent, and Mr. Nelson-admitted as assistant. I he case was prosecuted and defended with much ability. The pleadings commenced at two o'clock on yesterday, and were finished last evening.
