SAN FRANCISCO, May 14. – The trial of Judge Hardy of the Sixteenth District Court was to-day before the State Senate.  He was convicted by a two thirds majority as required by the constitution, of disloyalty to the Government.  A resolution of expulsion from the office passed twenty one to fourteen.  The various other charges against him, such as corruption in office, drunkenness, &c., were not sustained, although in some cases the majority was against him.  The charge of misconduct in the trial of Judge Terry for killing Senator Broderick failed by the vote, he avers, of the Judge, before whom Terry was acquitted.
