Washington, Jan. 25. The senate on Tuesday took an important step in the impeachment trial of United States Judge Charles Swayne of the Northern district of Florida.

Further proceedings were postponed until Friday next, when Judge Swayne is expected to appear before the bar of the senate in response to the summons of the senate.

A number of witnesses will be heard and considerable time will be consumed by attorneys.

It is therefore probable that the conclusion of the case will not long precede the day of final adjournment in March.
