A division was taken in the United States' Senate on

the eleventh article of the impeachment of Mr. Johnson this day week, which resulted in thirty-five votes for conviction, nineteen for acquittal, —a majority wanting a transfer of one more vote from the minority to the majority, in order to have been sufficient, under the Con- stitution, for Mr. Johnson's conviction. We have discussed else- where the reasons for and against the view that this will be a test vote deciding the fate of the impeachment. The Senate, after their division, adjourned till next Tuesday, the 26th inst., with- out proceeding to vote on any of the other ten articles of impeach- ment.
