The Pianos of their manufacture, on which I have played, are exceedingly remarkable for their qualities ui xuns. xue busb is powenui, witnout narsnness, and the upper notes sweet, clear and harmoniously mellow, (chrystalin.) and I do not hesitate to exnresa in rvmrA to these instruments my entire satisfaction, and to declare that they are equal, if not superior, to the best manufactured in Europe or this country by the most celebrated makers. L. M. G0TT8CHALK. Messbs. W, Knabe & Co.

For great power and roundness of tone, combined with that peculiar sweet and singing quality, so often found wanting in Pianos, they are really unsurpassable, and in touch everything that can be desired by the most flayer, it uuiug you every success, 1 remain, Yours truly, C.ANSCHUTZ.

Their sunerior nualitvnr tons, mmhinmo. great depth and powerful volume, with a rich and peculiarly clear and even treble, together with magic elasticity of touch and action, render them superior to the other instruments, which rarely if ever combine those most essential requisites. Profoundly impressed with the many valuable qualitias ol these Pianos, I most eheertnlly endorse the high and meritorious encomiums everywhere pronounced upon them. J5.

Terrible Riot Amoug Emigrant. About 8y o'clock this morning a riot broke out ainoug the emigrants on Ward's Island, and but for the timely Interference of the police would have ended In terrible bloodshed. A bad feeling has for some time existed between the German and Irish emigrants, which to-day culminated In an attack of 700 of the latter upon their enemies, who had olso put themselves into a sort of army array. Tho Irishmen seized on pitchforks, clubs, axes, tcc-spllttcrs, long poles with sharp Iron points, and even brok an Iron rack to obtain teeth as weapons. Tho Germans barricaded themselves In a basement of a hospital bulldlntr, wheu the Irishmen attempted to break into the house. The doors of tho corridors were battered down, and a light was nolnif. 011 quite ilerccly, when a strong force of police arrived and succeeded in quelling the row, though not without bclug compelled to shoot down four or the belligerents. Eighteen of tho rioters were wounccd, more or lesa seriously, and 80 were secured and confined In a bulldlntr strongly guarded by the police. Tho emigrant engaged In the light arc still excited, nd declare that tho light will bo renewed as soon as thepoHw leave tho Island. I FORTIETH CONGRESS SENATE. Washington, March 5. After a varletv of nnlmnnrt.n Mr. FOWLER Introduced a bill to rebuild the levees on the east bank of the Mississippi The PRESIDENT, pro tern., said the morn ing nour naving expired, all legislative and executive bu-iness of the Senate Is ordered to cease, lor the purpose of proceeding with tne Dusiness connected with the impeach' ment of the President of the United States. The Chair is vacated for that tmrnose. The Chief Justice then advanced up the aisle, clad in his official robe, and escorted by Mr. Pomeroy, chairman of the committee appointed for tnat purpose, with Judire Nel. son, of the Supreme Court, on his riht. anri Messrs. Buckalew and Wilson, and the other memoers 01 tne committee, with the members of the House, who stood behind thfi har or tne senate. The Chief Justice having ascended to the President's chair, said in a measured and impressive voice : "Senators In obedience to a notice I havs appeared, to join with you in formin-r a wunui Aiuijeuuiiuuub lor me tnai or the President of the United States, and I am now ready to take the oath." Ihe following oath was then administered to the Chief Justice by Judge Nelson : "iao solemnly swear that in allthinss pertaining to the trial 01 Impeachment of An drew Johnson, President of the United States, 1 win ao impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws So help me God." ihe unlet Justice then said : Senators : The oath will now be admin- lstered to the Senators, as they will be called by the Secretary, In succession. Ihe secretary then called the roll, each Senator advancing in turn and takincr the oath prescribed In the rules. The only Sen ators absent were Messrs. Doollttle, Edmunds, Patterson of N. H., and Saulsbury. When the name of Senator Wade was call- ed Mr. Hendricks rose and put the question to the presiding officer, whether the Senator from Ohio, being the next person who would succeed In the Presidential office, was entitled to sit as a judge In the case. Mr. SliJSKMAJN argued that the Consti- tutlon Itself settled that question. It provided that the presiding officer should not preside in a trial of Impeachment of the President, but being silent as to this right to be a member of the Court, It follows by Implication he had the right. Howard argued to'the same effect. Mr. JOHNSON assimilated this claim to an ordinaay judicial proceeding, and remind ed the Senate that no Judge would be allowed to sit in a case where he had a direct Interest. He submitted whether it was not proper to postpone its decision untilto-morrow, in order particularly that the proceedings of the British House of Lords might be examined. He moved, therefore, that the question be posponed till to-morrow. iilr. HENDRICKS claimed that when Mr. Wade should cease to be presldlns officer of tne senate he couia be woru in, out now he was Incompetent. In the case of Senator Stockton, of New Jersey, the question had been decided. There It was held that the Senator, being Interested In the result of the vote, he had no right to vote. He hoped the motion of the Senator from Maryland would prevail. The debate was continued at great length by Messrs. Davis, Hendricks and Bayard against Mr. Wade's rlifht to sit as a member of the court, and by Messrs. Morrill, of Me., Williams, Howard, Morton, Sherman, Sum ner, Howe, Drake and Thayer in favor thereof. Mr. MORTON argued that there was no person here authorized to make an objection, because it was the rightof a party to waive the objection If In the Interest of tho judge or Jury; and the President, when he came here Tor trial, might say, 'Why was not the Senator from Ohio sworn?" Tho theory of his colleague (Hendricks) was false. This 1m-peachmcnt was to be tried by the Senate; the Senator from Ohio was a Senutor mid his rights as such could not be taken from him. His election as presiding officer took from him none of his rights as a Senator; but aside from this, ho repeated that thero was no person here entitled to raise the question. Mr. HOWE claimed the question of law was ckar that tho Senator from Ohio was entitled to participate In this trial. If the Constitution were silent on the subject, no one would have challenged the right of the presiding officer of the Senate to preside on this trial; the Constitution, however, had provided for that case; and If any objection did exist to the Senator from Ohio the only party who had a right to raise objection was not here and not represented here. Mr. THAYER argued that If the question of Interest was to be raised In the case of tho Senator from Ohio, It ought with greater reason to be raised against the Senator from Tennessee, who was so closely allied with the President; besides every Senator who might succeed to the office of a presiding officer was also Interested but one degreo less than the Senator from Ohio. Mr. HOWARD desired to call the attention ol tho Chair to real matter before the body, and inquire whether the pending motion that tho other Senators be sworn In was In order. Chief Justice Chaso replied affirmatively. Mr. HOWARD suggested that ho could not see the necessity of expending further time 011 this motion, as It was a pure question of order. The Senate of the United States was endeavoring to put on Judicial burthens. iiuisi:. Very few members arc present. Many are goiio Home, expecting that 110 legislative business will be done during tne trial ol Impeachment.Mr. ELIOT Introduced a bill provldlnir that, In case of the removal of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, or death, or resignation, the duties of tho olllce shall dcvolvo upon the Associate Justice whose commission Is senior la time, until the disability Is remov ed or another Chief Justice Is appointed. Re ferred to the Judiciary Committee, to report at any time. Mr. MJGLESTON presented resolutions from the Germans of Cincinnati In reference to the treatment of emigrant passengers. Referred to the Committee on Commerce. Mr. BANKS Introduced a bill to Incorpo- rate the National Art Union Association. Referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia. The Banking Committee was instructed to inquire into the expediency of amending the general banking law so that State Banks, In process of liquidation, after the faithful payment of all debts, may be relieved from making monthly statements and from the payment of tax on outstanding circulation. The House then took up the case of R. R. Butler, Representative elect from the First District of Tennessee. Mr. CHANLER advocated Mr. RnrWa claim to a seat. Mr. JUDD moved that the TTnnap rKnlva Itself Into committee of the Whole to attend the Impeachment manazers at the bar nf the Senate. Mr. FARNSWORTH ODDosed the motinn. as only the managers were Invited to be Dres- ent. Mr. BINGHAM stated that the issue had not yet been joined, and until then it was un necessary to ask the attendance of the House. iir. jvuu withdrew his motion. The managers then proceeded to the Sen ate chamber, and the discussion on the Tennessee election case was resumed. During discussion, Mr. MYERS said that the country was much interested in the announcement that the Committee on Wavs and Means werA about to report a bill to reDeal the tar on manufactures, as a determination of the mien. tion by the House would take mneh t.imA He suggested that a bill be passed relievinir manul'acturers from duty for a limited time, or until the system could be perfected, or for sixty days. Mr. SCHENCK remorked that in the nres- ent laws were about twenty statutes; and consequently were in piecemeal; some contain what was in the others, some contradict and some modify others. The actual condition of the law could be found only by collection and comparing one part with another, and making one body of all the laws, consistent In all their different parts. If a Joint resolution or bill, such as the irentleman from Pennsylvania had suggested, be passed, it would, of course, except tobacco, distilled spirits, &c., from its provisions, all of which would be provided for In the general regulations, lie thought an adjournment over would enable thecommmlttee on Ways and Means to facilitate their business, for althouch the committee were authorized to sit during tho session of the House, it was a divided allegiance. The committee would provide for the taxation of certain things, and say nothing about others. The question should be submitted to the committee as to whether they could contrive such a bill as suggested 1 by the gentleman from Pennsylvania, without deranging the general plan which they propose m me revision or tne laws. The contested election case was resumed, and finally tho House adopted the resolution of Mr. Payne, recommitting the report of the Committee on Elections, wilh instructions. Mr. DAWES immediately reported back the proposition, and its consideration was postponed until to-morrow. Adjourned. PENNSYLVANIA. Convention of Oil Men. Pittsburgh, March 5.
