The trial of President Johnson ends to-day, when the Senate

will deliver its final verdict and sentence. It was expected to deliver them on Tuesday last, but the Court is, above all things, anxious to avoid any appearance of hurry or precipitation. It is still understood that the majority for a verdict of guilty will be nearly three-fourths, and the majority for deposition the full two-thirds required. The pressure upon individual Senators is tremendous ; but the Court has preserved its dignity under all the provocation from both sides, and has exhibited no undue impa- tience under the dreariest series of speeches that ever wearied mortal assembly. The country is waiting very quietly for the result, fully confident that by to-morrow Mr. Benjamin Wade will be President of the United States.
