The venerable and highly e ispectabie senator from Dearborn, arose I

In a phrenz.ed heat, the governor lost all control of his cherished dignity, and on J hursday a most disgraceful scene i as exhibited by him in the office of the secretary of the slate.

The general attendance of the members of both houses soon caused the governor to draw in his I horns, and to calm down his anger. At this time the legislature were wait ing for the signature of the governor to a number of biils and in the course of the afternoon he signed them, after which a committee were appointed to wait en him, and know if he had anv further communications to make.

The resolutions, with other papers connected with the subject, were rtferred to the committee on pensions. Mr. Hendricks from the committee on roads and canals, reported a bill, making appropriation for tit construction ol the Curobcrland ,oad, in Ohio, Indiana and ... ' Illinois.

Mr. Foot stated that the committee on pensions had a few days since been discharged from the consideration of cer tain lesolutionsof the legislature ol In diana, requesting that certain individuals therein named be placed on the pension roll. A transcript of these resolutions had since been referred to that committee. The committee was then dischar ged frcm the further consideration of the subject ACQUITTAL OF JUDGE PECK.

Peck, judge of the District Court of the United States for the District ol Missouri. No objection bting made, the resolution was adopted. The names of the senators having then been called over, and the article ol impeachment read by the tecrctai y, the vicepr esident rose and said "Senators, yau huvc heard the article of impeach T i I j ment and the evidence ?nd aigun.cirs for and against the respondent ; you will when your names are called rise in your place and pronounce distinctly whether lie is guilty or not guilty a chaigcd by the house of representatives " The viccpresident then addressed each senator successively as follows : Mr. Scr.j'.f.r what say you; u James H Peck, judgeof the District Court of the United Slates, for the District of Missouii. guilty of the high misdemeanor as charged against him in the article of impeachment, or is he not uuiltv ? 1 o which the follow ing senators answered -'He is euilty Messrs.
