CONGRESS AND THE IMPEACHMENT MUDDLE.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-IN THE HOUSE Ur.
Bell introduced a resolution for providing a
successor, should the Chief Justiceship become
vacant, the oldest commission to succeed until
a chief is duly appointed.
A resolution to print three thousand copies
of the impeachment articles was adopted.
The committee ou banking and currency
wero directed to inquire into tho expediency of
amending the banking laws to relieve the State
Banks in process of liquidation from making
monthly statements and the tax on circulation.
A motion was made that the House iu com?
mittee attend tho impeachment managers to
witness tho organization ot the court, but it
was withdrawn at the suggestion of Mr. Bing?
ham, that only tho managers were expecied,
and there were no accommodations on the floor
of ?he Senate to seat the House. Thu man?
agers then withdrew, followed by many mem?
bers, leaving about forty in the House, who
proceeded with thc Tennessee election case.
For the first timo m several years the Demo?
crats found themselves in a majority in the
' House of Representativos. Without conclud?
ing the election case the House adjourned.
IN THE SENATE a resolution of thanks to Con?
gress, Grant and Stanton, was presonted from
the South Carolina Convention.
Tho bill for rebuilding warehouses at Fort?
ress Mom oe waa passed.
A bili was introduced to rebuild tbo levees
on the east bank of thc Mississippi, to reclaim
thc Yazoo River lands.
Chief Justice Chase appeared, supported by
a committee of managers, followed and sup?
posed by a large number of members of tho
' House. Mr. Wade then announced that "all
business would then bo suspended for tho pur?
pose of entering into the proceedings required .
by the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, Pres?
ident of the United States. The chair will now
be vacated for that purpose."
Mr. Chase then advanced and took the chair,
and said : ''Senators, I am hero in obedience
to your ootice, for the purpose of proceedine;
with you in forming a court of impeachment
for the trial of Andrew Johnson, President cf
tho United States. I am now ready to take tho
oath." Justice Nelson administered thc oatli
prescribed by the Senalo'y rules of procedure.
Mr. Chase thou administered the oath to the j
senators in alphabetical order, until Wade ap- 1
preached, when Senator Johnson objected lo j
his becoming a member of *he court because ?
he had- a contingeut inter ot. A discussion j
then ensued, lasting till five o'clock, when, on '
motion, Judge Chase adjourned the court, j
when Wado resumed his seat, and, ou motion, ,
adjourned the Senate.
9 P. M.-No progress whatever was mado
during nearly four hours debate this afternoon.
Utter confusion provails regarding the mode of
procedure. A dozen senators spoke, no two
agreeing upon the details. Among the points
made to thc satisfaction of the different speak?
ers were the following : Mr. Wade having an
interest, had no right in the court; being a
aenator of Ohio, it was his duty to act and
Tote. Though Wade had tho right to vote, it
was a matter for his owu conscience. That
when the President came to tho hoi' it was
time to make challenges. That tho Piesi
dent had no right whatever to chal?
lenge his judges, the constitution providing
them for him. That it was a duly
in organizing to keep the organization pure.
That if, at the ond, tho scales were equally bal?
anced, that into which you throw Wade's per?
sonal interest would kick the beam. That they
were a court-that they were a Senate-that
with oidy half tho members sworn they wore
neither one nor tho other. Thus the argument
progressed until nearly five o'elock, when sen?
ators remarking that Judge Chase had been on
duty since ten o'clock, moved an adjournment.
Howard objected. They had a rule tor adjourn?
ment; the court was accordingly adjourned by
that rulo, end the Senate was loft in session.
The managers were in attendanco all the even?
ing, evidently impaii ent to begin work. Lar^e
Bombern visited the President to-day. Stanton
gtffj sleeps in the War Department. Thomas
goe.-: there for his private mails.
The revenue to-day $725,000.
Judge Chase adjouruod tho Supreme Court
at one o'clock for ono hour, expecting to re?
turn from tho Senate in that time, not com
i ig. Judge Feld adjourned the court until to?
morrow.
They-are still balloting at Annapolis for a
United States Senator; eo far without result.

Alan and i in- Gorilla.
In New York, a lew days ago, M. Paul B. Du
Chaillu, tho celebrated African explorer, gave
the first of a course of lectures in that city on
African exploration. He had a full house, and
his subject was "Tho Gorilla and its habits,
tho Gibbon, Orang-Outaug, Chimpanzee, and
the Affinity of these to Man."
The lecturer, in his introductory remarks,
said that the region of Africa through which
he had travelled, and of which he proposed to
speak, Jay on each side ot the equator two or
three degrees, and extended to a point not far
from fifteen degrees east longitude. Tho
journey lay principally through dense fon
o ts, which were travelled for miles with?
out healing the voice of a bird or any?
thing to break the awful silence that
reigned supreme. Nuts and berries were
fhero in abundance, and Ut was soon learned
that this waa the country of the gorilla. M.
DuChaillu then recounted his first adventure
with ono of these animals. Thore were five
persons in the company at tho time, and coin?
ing suddenly into the presence of a hugo
malo gorilia, thoy fired upon him, but were
so greatly excited tn at they all missed him,
ami thc ' animal cscapod. Subsequently he
killed thirty-ono gorillas at different UUIOH.
\ popular "superstition of the Africans is,
that the gorillas have once been men, but
lave changed in somo unaccountable man?
ner lo their present condition. Tho roar of
:ho gorilla is terrible to hear, sounding at
first like distant thunder. Sometimos it is
ike the sharp, quick bark of an infuriated
log, only a great deal louder, and gradually .
is-iuniea the character ol' a deep, rumbling
uoiee, reminding ono of the far-away thun?
der beforo a great storm. When enraged
thc animal beats his breast furiously with
his hands. M. DuChail.u's former impres?
sion that the gorilla was not gregarious, bas
been wholly changed by what he observed in
very recent explorations." As many as ten have
Leen seen together at one time, living in pairs.
At uight tho female sleeps in the top of a tree,
and the male, as her protector, on the ground
at the loot ol' the tree. Thoy cannot be tamed,
lie tried the experiment oight times and failed,
t hey seem to hate tho sight of man, and cannot
be made to eat our food. One day he shot a
female, and took from her company a littlo go?
rilla, with white complexion, and smooth,
straight hair. Little "Tommy," as the captive
was called, remained with tho company for
some time, und became so far civilized that ho
would get thunk whenever au opportunity
W36 affoided. Ho seomed to acquire a son.
of notion of the rights of property; for if
any ono took his littlo red cap, or pillow, ho
would cry loudly and piteously until they
were returned to him. Chaillu made an
elaborate discussion of the affinity of the
various species of apes to man. In doing so,
he said that the arms of tho gibbon reach to
thc ground; those of Ibo orang-outang to the
ankles, of the chimpanzees a little below tho
knees, ol' the gorilla a little above the kuees,
and of mau to the middle of the thighs. These
apes all havo thirteen ribs, while man has but
twelve. ? There are nineteen bones in a human
baud, and thc samo number in those of the
apes. Thc thumbs of tho latter are joined to
thc first fingors. Tho hand of the gorilla is
shorter than his foot, and in the latter, which
is nothing but a great hand, there are tho same
number of bones aa in a man's foot. The teeth
?I thc .eroiiUa, chimpanzee, &c, are thirty-two
in number, and after tho canino teeth*have
been worn dowu, they appear much like the
teeth of a human being. When the gorilla
grows up, a ridge, an inch or two in height,
grows out of tho skull, and runs directly from
a point above the nose back to a level with tho
top ol' the ears. With reference to tho brain
capacity, M. Du Chaillu said that tho averago
in thc gorilla is t\enty-eigbt cubic inches
(with very littlo growth from infancy) and tho
I'ighos thirty-four cubic inches, while in man
tho capacity of the lowest averago is sixty
three cubic inches, and that of the highest
civilization one hundred and fourteen cubic
inches. Thc head of man sits far easier upon
the vertebral column than that of the apo.
Tho structure of tho vertebral column of man
shows that ho was from the first intended to
walk erect, while that ot the ape shows an
adaptation to the use of "all-fours" in locomo?
tion. IL du Chaillu closed his able lecture
with the most emphatic declarations of his be?
lief in the superiority ol' man to, and his dis?
tinct difference from, the annuals ot the Afri?
can torcst of which he had spoken.
BASK DEFALCATION IN WASHINGTON.-Tho
Washington Star of Monday evening mentions
thc discovery of a heavy defalcation at tao
banking house ol George W. Biggs & Co., ot
that city. Tho Star says:
Tho accused poison is ?Ir. John C. Clarile,
tor the past twenty years teller at the bank,
mid ono of the most trusted cmp'ovoes oi tho
firm. In the cat ly part of last week', Mr. Ric gs
discovered an error in the cash accouut of I
Mr. Clurko, and, upon mentioning the fact, Mr.
C. immediately accompanied Mr. Riggs to his
private office, where, it is said, he made a full
confession ot thc whole matter, acknowledging
th it ho had for somo limo past beeu using 'ohe
money of the bank to loan to 6omo ol' his
friends, but expected to havo returned the
same before it was discovered, and that he had
appropriated for that purpose between $30,000
and $40,000. Ho immediately transferred to
Air. Riggs nil bis property-valued at $12.000
or S15.U00-consisting ola largo brick house
on I street, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth
.streets, and other property hi different sec?
tions of the city. He also handed Mr. R. about
$26,000 worth of paper, which is properlv en?
dorsed and secured, and upon which" the
uioncv will be realized. Besides this, bc will
transfer to Mr. Riggs all his right to a large
claim which be has in New 1 ork city, and
which will be paid in tho courso of'f, tow
mon NIH. thus making the money all good, and
preventing any loss to the bank. Mr. Riggs
and the other members of the firm express
great regret at the occurrence, as Mr. Clarke
has been with them from boyhood, and always
enjoyed the esteem and confidence of each
member of the firm. With tho advice of his
friends he bas left thc eily. No action w.H be
taken against bim by Mr. Riggs, as the bank
loses Lei thing.
THIN GS IN WASHINGTON
THE IMPEACHMENT.
DEMOCRATIC PROTEST AGAINST THE ABBI TH:
EULE OF THE EADICAL MAJORITY IN CONGEES
The annexed is the protest ot tho Der
eratic members nf tho HOUEO of Represen
tive?, offere-i on Monday last, after the artic
of impeachment had been gone through w
m that body, but which the House refused
receive, or even allow to be printed :
Tho undersigned, members of the Forti<
Congress of the United States, represent]
directly, or in principle, more than one-hall
the whole people of the United States,
hereby, in the name of law and order, and
behalf of th ise they represent, most solenn
protest against tho tyranny and injustice pri
deed by the majority t>f the Houeo in violati
ino sacred right of free debate and unce
.strained deliberation upon the greatest qm
tiona ever brought before an American Co
gross. -
The rules of the House, made for the pi
tfation of minorities, aud "by a strict adh<
ence to which the weaker party can only
protected from those irregularities and abus
which the wantonness of power is but U
often apt to suggest to largo and 6ucceB8f
majorities," have been, during thiB enturo Co
grese, in violation of their true spirit and i
tent, wantonly and unprecedentedly suspend?
and set aside, not upon a particular ana pres
inp; matter, but upon all pending subjects
legislation, so that by tho reckless and art
trary suspension of tho rulos, and tho wantc
abuse of the previous question, thc rights
tho minority have been utterly disregardci
tho House of Representatives bas ceased to I
a deliberativo body, and tho minority have boc
compelled to voto upon tho moBt importai
questions without any proper or reasonab
time for debate or consideration. To such a
extent has this dangerous and oppressive prai
tice obtained that measures affecting vitall
tho whole country and thc direct interests <
our constituents, fonding, as wo believe, to tb
subversion of our republican form of goven
ment, in their very naiuro domanding of tb
people's representatives thc met careful exau
manum and scrutiny, have been burne
through the forms of legislation without boin
printed, without one word of debate, or on
moment's consideration; without, indeed, th
opportunity of the undersigned to protost, cs
cept in violation of tho then operating rulo er
forced by the majority as the "order of th
House."
These alarming abuses of power might nc
seem to demand this formal proteBt if wo wer
not forced to the belief that a dotcmiinatioi
exists with tho majority to rovolutionizo thi
government by destroying tbo other co-ordi
nate branches and vosting all thc power of tb
government in Congress. In the stops takini
to depose the President of the United State:
we aro admonished that there is noondto thci
oppressive moasures* to cripple the power am
silence the voice of tho minority.
The resolution was puehed through tho Housi
under the operation of tho previous question
referring the matter to the Committee on Rc
construction; the committee, in hot haste
Bitting when the House was hi session, ii
violation of one of its express rules, consider
ed aud by a strict party voto adopted and pre
sented it again to thc House for its action
And then was exhibited ono of the most extra
ordinary spectacles ever witnessed in a dclibc
rative parliamentary body. Members wen
allowed Bomo thirty, some twenty, somo ton
some ti vc, some ono minute only to discust
tho most momentous questions ever pro
Bented in Congress. Many could not get ever
ono minute under tho arbitrary rule of the ma?
jority. . And more than half of those even ol
?he pal ty voting to enforce tho previous ques>
tion, who desired to bo heard, were permitted
spceches'only in tho "Globe," after the question
upon tho resolution was decided, aud which
were never delivered in tho House No com?
ment can demonstrate more completely than
tho facts themselves tho viciousness and ille?
gality of such proceedings. But this wanton
and flXOOHdiv? UHn of tho po n or or t-ho majority
does not stop here. While the coni.mttoo were
in session upon tho further proceedings lo re?
move the President, and in anticipation of ils
action, nuder the operation of tho previous
quoiition, without debate, in violation of an ex?
press rule, new, special and most extraordina?
ry rules for the . on duct ot this proceeding,
changing, without previous notico, tho stand?
ing rules of the House, were adopted to further
limit debate and more completely to placo thc
minority in the power and at<hc mercy of thc
majority.
Thus, wbilo tho majority of C ingress are
warring upon tho other co-ordinato depart?
ments-the executive and judicial-endeavor?
ing to subjugato and bring them both under
will and control of Congress, thc minority of
the House of Repr?sentai ives aro steadily and
surely being stripped of all power, and their
constituents deprived of all proper represen?
tative voice in the councils of tho republic.
Wo do, therefore, most solemnly protost
against tho indecorous and undignified haste
with which the majority of tho House inaugur?
ated, presented and rushed through, by a
stnet party vote, in plain and palpable viola?
tion of ono of the standing rules of tho Bonne,
a resolution demanding the impcaclmn nt ot
tho Chief Magistrate of tho people for ullcgcd
high crimes aud misdemeanors m office, wheu
tho gravity of tifo charge and tho character of
the high officer against which tho attack was
directed, and tho unforseon and tremendous
consequonces which might result tb -refroni to
the poaco and prosperity of thc pooplc callod
for thc calmest and wisest judgment, thu most
unprejudiced and impartial deliberation on thc
part of those who had the procco?ings in
charge.
We do also most solemnly protest against
this thrice repeated attempt to. degrade and
break down ono of thc great co-ordinato
branches of tho government, through tho
spirit of party hatred and vcugcanco against
the pei8on who, by tho constitution, is in the
rightful und conscientious discharge of its
functions, thus consuming tho precious time
which ought to bo faithfully devoted to earnest
efforts to relievo tbo pressing vants of tho
people, a restoration of a turn and devastated
country to union and good order, and lo light?
ening tho borden ol a taxation which is press?
ing down the energies of trade and conunorco
to tho point of universal bankruptcy and ruin.
Wo do again most solemnly protest against,
and profoundly deprecate anil deplore, any and
all attempts to array in hostilo antagonism to
each olher any of tho departments of the gov?
ernment upon thc mei? question of tho consti?
tutionality or construction of a law of Con?
gress, the proper jurisdiction and linal adjudi?
cation of which belongs exclusively to tho ju?
dicial tribunals; and wc hereby waru thc peo?
ple ol' the United States that the public lib?
erty and the existoi co of free institutions are
involved, and that they arc in immiuont dan?
ger of utter overthrow in this suicidal struggle.
We do further most solemnly protest against
that wild and radical spirit ol' innovation upon
the earlv and woll settled practice of the gov?
ernment-a practico established by the men
who framed the coiiBtitutiou, aud who host un?
derstood its spirit and meaning-which puts
thc Chief Magistrate ot the Republic, the re?
presentativo ol' thc dignity anti power of tho
people, at thc mercy of one of his own subordi?
nates, assuming tb bc Secretary of War in
violation of his own pronounced conviction of
thc law, who has the unblushing effrontery to
place himself in tho unwarrantable position ol
communicating directly with Congress, in utter
contempt of tho authority et' his superior, and
with the deliberate purpose of resisting his au?
thority. . ,, "
The undersigned, therefore, in thou- charac?
ter of representatives of thc peoplo, being de?
prived, bv tho despotic power of an inexorable
majority,* of the high privilege of debate, that
great instrument in the discovery ol' truth, and
the most cborished heritage ot a free pooplc.
do hereby, sol mnlv and earnestly, protest
against theee infractions ol' the rights of the
people, and respectfully ask that this, their
protest, may be spread upon tho journal ol the
House.

I THE IMPEACHMENT-THE SENATE-THE BJ
SCHEME-THE PBOBABLE BE8?LT.
The "Washington correspondent of the :
more Gazette writes on Monday last:
The party lash is being freely used b
impeachers to secure a sato passage of
measure through the "High Court of Imo<
ment," alias tho Radical Senate of the U
States. The leading spirits in this as
upon the executive department of the go'
ment laugh at the suggestions that sen
when sworn ag<judges will not be senators
so far as their votes in sustaining imp?
mont may be concerned. They talk ol
impossibility of a leopard changing his s?
or an Ethiopian his altin, and say it is cqi
unreasonable to expect that a Radical sei
will chango his views as to tho moral ob
tions of an oath simply because ho votes
member of a court instead of a member of
Senate. There ia too ranch truth in this
claralion, and many conservativo mon are i
ing too confidently on tho fact that senators
to bo "sworn" to try the issue according to
lawand the facts. Have they not boen under
constant obligation of an oath to obey, pro
and defend the Constitution of tho Un
States; and yet, have tlioy over hesitate
act outside of and iu direct violation of 1
constitution ii party interests required
Nevertheless, it is generally behoved
well-informed circles hero that thcro
eight leading Republican senators who
provo too much the Roman to bo thus used
base party purposes. These eight seual
aro Fcsacnden, Anthony, Willey, Van Win!
Trumbull, Frelingbuytion, Grimes and Poi
roy-which, together with tho eleven Dei
crate, constitute a sufficient vole to defeat
impeachment of tho President. Should th
stand ?rm as a barrier against the success
progress of the impeachment movement, th
may be several others who will prefer m ak
a similar record lor the future historian. He:
wo have a prevailing impression among
conservative men that tho whole project of
impcachmont ol the President will end pre
much a-did tho prosecutiou against Gone
Lorenzo Thomas. The impeachment prose
lion will be on a larger theatre only wi
Thomas' was on a smaller one, and Thad. S
venn, with his associate prosecutors, may
dismissed from tho High Court of Iuipeai
mont with as little cerompny as (?euc
Thoma* was put out of court by Judgo Ca
ter. Tho testimony of General Thomas is I
mg rolled on by tho Radical managers to si
tain tho charges of conspiracy to seize by foi
tho War Department; but when this teatime
comes to bo published as given before the 1
Doachmont Committee tho honest masses
thu pcoplo will surely be disgusted with t
wbelo tiling. In tho meantime tho party lot
ors bavo been profuse in tho abuso of the ni
they found they could not exactly use to si
their purposes.
But do tho Radical leaders care, or cxpci
to i rovo tho President guilty of tho charg
contained iu tho articles of impcachmcu
This question waa frankly answored by Ger
ral N. P. Hanks, one of tho impeachers, w
assured your correspondent that, so far as t
particular charges were concerted, tho Prci
dont could not bo found guilty; adding, at t
same time, that tho Senate, "appreciating tl
importance of removing Mr. Johnson for ti
general good of tho country, would con viet hi
to provent his doing any harm, and that in d
ing this, sonatora wore not responsible to ai
ono for the votes they gave. Such is tho Ra
?cal expectation in Congress. It is anticipati
by Stcvous, Bingham and others, that th<
have only to offer tho pretext, and tlioir frieni
in thc Senate will take caro ot tho rest. ?
reliance is placed by them in tho puerile vc
bosity put forth in tho shapo of "articles

pretext under which it is anticipated tho Senai
will seek protection, and tho sontimouts c:
pressed by General Banks arc those general,
entertained by the Radical revolutionists.

DBIYINQ IMPEACHMENT AB A PASTY MEASUB1
-GENERAL EMOB? AND THE MILITARY-MOB]
FOBTHCOMINO EVIDENCE, ETC.
The Washington correspondent of tho Balti
more Sun writes under dato of thc 2d inst.
Both branches of Congress have been labor
ing to day to effect the preliminaries for tin
impeachment trial, and each House has beer
driven by tho impeachers in and out of Cou
gress, with the view of hurrying tho project ti
:i verdi:t at onco, upon the assumption thal
tho result will, borona u peradventure, bo thi
removal of Mr. Johnson, lhere aro but fen
of this class who attempt to .justify such a re?
sult upon J.ny other grounds than that thc
removal nf Air. Johnson has now become u
party measure, and therefore all arguments
upon (he merits of, or legal points involved in
thu prosecution, aro by thom scouted as profit?
less. In fact, tho almost unanimous opinion
ia now thal if the President is triod strictly
upon the law and (he facts, ho must be acquit?
ted, and that if thu Sonate shall render a ver?
dict of guilty, that tho verdict will bo purely
upon political and partisan Grounds.
lt will bo shown upou tho trial that Presi?
dent Johnson was informed by respectable per?
sons, who believed what they said, that au
ordor hid been given on tho 21st ot February
ult., th?lt ?ill military ollicc-rs in thia depart?
ment report?t onco to tho headquarters ol
General Emory, lo re?oive directions for cer?
tain military movements, and that upon this
infoimatiou thu lTusidont sunt for General
Emory and interrogated him, as related tn tho
litter's evidence before thu House committee,
.md it ia probable that General Emory may
recollect, when bia attention is drawn closely
to what look placo at tho interview between
tho President and himself, that instead of Ur.
Johnson asserting that military orders, No. 15
or 17, was unconstitutional, he merely asked
General Emory if hu (Emory) did not think
thu order waa in conflict .vith the constitution.
A suggestion has beon matlu by members of
tho Uousu that tho iiupoachmout Irial iako
pla-e in tho hall ol' thu aouso, so as to afford
accommodation for a greater number of per?
sons than can bo scated in thc Senate.
" THE PiiOBABLE RESULT OF IMPEACHMENT.
The Washington correspondent of thc New
i'ork Tribune regard* Ibo conviction and re?
moval of tho President a? a flxud fact. Hu
. sa\s:
Ii' Mr. Johnson has any friends or supporters
left in this ciiv, they maui iain a singular reti?
cence on thu subject of impeachment,. for
scarcely a word is heard anywhere in his fa?
vor. Even thc rumor* that certain tcuators
? uro shaky ou thu subject anil would certainly
vote against tho conviction of thu President
have all died out, and thu opinion is almost
unanimous that thu Semite will eject Andrew
J di.ison from tho White House, and that he
dcscives to bu oo treated. Tho trial, on ac?
count of its novu'.ty, and in thc expectation
that it may develop something unlooked for, is
awaited with deep interest; but nobody has
the slightest apprehension that it wiil give
risc to any inconvenience or trouble to any one
except the great offender. Tho gamb?
lers abandoned tho President two or
three days ago, and, to borrow their
huiuuagc, ho " s Hs very low. " In?
ti,-cd a rumor was afloat in the city on Satur?
day that President Jolmsou and Secretary
Stanton would botli resign, aud thus soho tho
dilliuuity; but of course this absurdity could be
traced to no trustworthy source. The Secreta?
ry still maintains his almost sleepless vigi?
lance ov:r thc War Department, working
thcro bv dav and sleeping there by night, so
that General Thomas may not seize the cita Iel
in an unguarded hour. ' on. Thomas wanders
to Ins otflcc two or three limes a day, and savs
that tl is nil a kind of dream tohim. Meanwhi'lo
Congress is nuking preparations for the trial,
arranging all tho technical and preliminary
forma for tho legal contest. According to
some reports, thu President looks forward to
Iiis dethronement with equanimity, and, ac?
cording to others, he is considerably annoyed
and chagrined ot tho prospect ol' so speedy a
termination of his rule in thc White House'
THE OTHES SIDE.
The correspondent of tho New York Herald,
on tho other hand, is equally certain of thc
President's acquittal. He speculates as to?
lo ws :
Notwithstanding the party unanimity with
which impeachment was passed througl
House, the committee aro greatly embarri
by the subsequent exhibitions of doubting
distrust. Nearly ell the Radical members
wore originally opposed to impeachmen
still honestly of the name mind. They dc
sympathize with or participate in the s
plans for consummating the end in view
they have thc sagacity to foresco ultimate
ure and inevitablo disaster as the consequt
Under thoso circumstances the work is not
? sued by thoso who have it iu hand wit!
I cheerfulness and confidence indicated bi
boastlul and malignant spirit manifested. L
ing to tho Sonato, the prevalence of a sin
feeling is conspicuous. Thero are a few wh<
anxious for impeachment, and fairly venon
with hate. Tiiey have not failed to con
thomsolves on nil occasions in favor of
peachment. and to disqualify themselves
their prejudiced utterances to sit in judgn
OD a case which they arc to take a solemn <
to try impartially. They were warned by !
ator Fessenden reportedly against commit
themselves upon a subject which might ov
ually como before them; but thoy always
torted angrily, and sneeringly accused hin
a lingorinr; partiality for tho President, on
covert sympathy with Conservatism. Seui
Fessenden is not the only one who has b
consistent, and who will help to swell thc ni
ber that is to offset the Sumners, Howards ;
Conklings. Senator Sherman has so ope
and positively committed himself to Mr. Jo
son's interpretation of tho Tenuro of Office
that he could not, without stultifying hims
vote to impeach him tor adopting his own c
struction of it. Senator Howe, though
tonsely Radical, is an able lawyer, and th
ougbly independent of partv consideratic
when placed in a position of responsibility
tho magnitude of tho ono in question.
Besides Fus?ond?ii, Sherman and Hoi
there is good reason to bolievo that other 1
publican senators ?rill not consent to hi
themselves lashed into the impeachment fo
by Ibo hot-headed revolutionists of theirp
ty. The dispatch which I scut you a lew di
ago, to thc effect that eight ot tho Republic
senators would be almost suro to oppose t
mensuro, his attracted much, attention bc:
and thoro arc nob wanting well posted peo]
who say I wis not rightly informodwhor
made that statement so boldly. N''vcrthelC!
I soo no reason for changing my viows OD t
subject, and I will endeavor toi;ivo my roaso
briefly further on. But first lot mo start wi
ttio admitted fact that thc following senate
will certainly vote against, impeachment :
CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS.-Dixon, of Co
uccticut; Doolittle, of Wisconsin.
DEMOCRATS.-Bayard, of Delaware; Buch
low, of Pennsylvania; Davis, ot Kontuck
McCreory, of Kentucky; Houdricke, of I
diana; Johnson, of Maryland; Patterson,
Tonnessco; Saulsbury, of Delaware
Thus, ns a basis to start with, wc have eig
Democratic and two conservativo Republic
senators certain to Oppose impeachment. Th
makes ton auti-impcachmont votes. Ko
.imotig tho Radical Republican conators I co
tend tho hollowing arc almost aa mire to oppo
tho measure as tho Democratic, to wit: Ai
thony, of Rhode Island; Fessenden, of Main
Howe, of Wisconsin; Norton, of Minncsot
Ross, ol' Kansas; Sherman, of Ohio; Spragu
of Rhodo Island; Tipton, of Nebraska; Trun
bull, cf Illinois; Van Winkle, of West Ykgini
Willey, ol' West Virginia; Williams, of Orcgoi
Hero wo bavo fourtoeu Republican and cigl
opposition Senators already supposed to I
against impeachment, with* two othors dotib
fut-namely, Grimes, of Iowa, and Ilendcrsoi
of Missouri. Leaving out thc two last, w
have say twenty-two senators who will ur
back up Thad. Stevens in his hos tilo ultomr
upon thc Executive. According to the thir
section of art icio one ot thc constitution, n
conviction can occur without a concurrence c
two-thirds of Ibo members present.
At present Ibero aro lifty-tlirco ni omi'era i
thu iSonatc, of which say thirty-six would b
required for two-thirds. Tnko the eight Deine
erais, tno two Consorvatives, ami tho twek
Radicals (twouty-two lu KU), fr um flfty-thret
ttnrrwo nrrvrj h-fo only tniriy-onc senators .i
favor of impeachment. This would fall aboi
live of thc required number.
Now, to return to my reasons, and I ore
with staling that llio volo in the Senato to rc
?nsta.0 Stanton and condemning hid removu
hy the President, is no test of how Senator
are going to vote upon tho impeachment mat
ter ul all. Thoro aro many senators who be
liova tliat the President was wrong in attempt
iug Stanton's removal pending IL sutsion of tin
.-lunate, but who still think that that is not ai
offonco of sufficient gravity to justify impoach
ment.
The President is known to have contondo;
all along that Stanton hold office only by suffer?
ance, as ho had never been appointed*by bin
(Johnson); and moreover bocauso Lincoln'f
commission, bearing dato in 1802, long before
tho tenure of Office bill was passed, limited
Stanton's tenure to ..tho pleasuro ol'tho Presi?
dent for thc timo hoing.'
Amone; tho Senators who take this view, oi
who opposo impeachment fur other reasons,
Mich ns that no confidential adviser obuoxioue
10 a President should be forcod upon him, I
have reason to behove may b-j reckoned An?
thony, l?oss, Fcsscudon, Sherman, Howe, Wit
loy, Norton, Tipton, Williams, Spraguo and
Trumbull.
Authouy kaus to conservatism, and in bis
paper has repeatedly of Inbj raised a warning
cry against tho revolutionary tendency of Rad
ical legislation.
? ipton ha i been beard lo declare that he will
not voto for impeachment.
"Williams, some say, besidos his belief as a
lawyer that uo impeachable offence has been
committed, desires to work back into tho Dem?
ocratic foul, as the signs point to a revolution
i i political sonliment in the State from which
ho hails.
Spraguo will certainly voto in (he intorest of
Iiis father-in-law, thc "Chief Justice, who is
said to oppose impeachment bocauso it would
result iu Wade's elevation, and diminish his
own chances for the succession.
Aa to Norton, Ruf>s, Van Winkle and Wiley, I
confess I havo no bel lor renson tu give for "tho
opinion thai, thoy will oppose impoachuicut ex?
cept, this-Mint there is a very widespread im?
pression, of the kind. There m something in
tho atmosphere at times that I ells uno how
things will tum ont. Perhaps it is this mys?
terious influence that pills Norton, Ross, Wiley
?ind Van '..inkle anion ; the anti-lmpoaehora.
For thoso aud other reasons, therefore, I
take it there is no ground upon which to base
an opinion thal impeachment will bo sustain?
ed. Referring to it as a party rmcstioi! Ibero is
no light in Which it can bc viewed that cm
make it available tu thu Radicals in this sense.
11 senator* were disposed to give weight to
their partisan animosities there is nothing to
bc gained by impeachment. Thc subject has
been canvassed by the R idicals in all its hear?
ings, and a very considi ruble portion ol' thom
havo arrived at this conclusion.
MB. JOHNSON ADVISED TO RESIGN.
The Washington Republican says :
Sumo of tho President's most prominent
friends have called upon him, and advised him
to send his resisnation to the Senate to-mor?
row, and carry bis appen! to tho people, on thc
ground that lie could not gel a fair trial in che
Sena-'c ; in which event Hie Democrats would
certainly nominate him, and his chancos would
bu excellent for ro-clcctiou : but that if ho
Should sit Still much longer lie would bc con?
victed and rendered incapable of ever holding
ufiice again. The President was considerably
i.ikeu aback, and finally said he would consider
it, and turned tho conversation.
MR. JOHNSON WILL BE PRESENT.
It is not imperative that the President
:-li(iuld bj present during hts trial but he baa
already expressed a determination to be pres?
ent.
TUE LMPE.YCHMENT.
A prominent Western senator has slated that
ample time will bo allowed thc President to
prepare for the impeachment trial after he
shall have been notified that such is lo be.
Blanks aro being printed for the issuing of
heats iu thc Senate tu spectators, and lucre
luis already Leen a large demand fur them.
\s tue blanks are not yot ready, and as it is
probable that tho trial will not commence for
at least, two weeks, these applications are rather
premature. This i'ael. however, dues not deter
parties from applying, and the President of the
Senato, Secretan' of the Senate, scrgeunt-at
arms, doorkeepers, and clerks, have been be?
sieged ">'ith importunities fro in a ciass of per?
sons who arc never satisfied wiih a denial.
M ?or McDonald, the popul ir and gentlemanly
chief dork oi tho Sein te, is having every;
arrangement made for tho accommodation ut
thc senators, members ol'the House of Repre?
sentatives, and all others who may bc m thc
lowor chamber. These arraugementB ?nil be
perfected after thc President lias Signified tho
dav upon which ho will be ready. A large
number of strangers have already arrived ju
thc eitv, anti it is .jonfidcntly presumed that nt
least, two or tiiree thousand persons will be
aad-'d ti our floating population ere the trial
commences.

Many 'adie?, particularly mothers nursing, com?
plain ol a tired, listless feeling, or complete exhaus?
tion, on arising in the morning. On thc wife and
mother devolves tho responsibility of regulating the
di.tics nf the household. Her cares are numerous,
and thc mental as well as physical powers are fre
qucntlj called into requisition. She often finds her
sligUtent occupation a weary task and existence a.
burden, while at the same time she has no regular
disease. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, if
resorted to at this period, will provo an unfailing
reined: for this annoying lassitude. The effects of
this po eut agentare soon soeu in the rosy cheek
aud ehstic step of the head of the family, as with
restored hiahhand reuewod spirits she takos her
..ceusti med place iu tho family circle. If this friend
in uee i be regularly used, tboso depressing symp?
tom;) v.-ill never be complained of, and not only
would lassitude not be experienced, but many dis
c.n.cs following its advent be avoided. As a MEDI?
CAL AGENT it has no equal, while its pleasing flavor
and healthful effects have made it a general favorite.
It is fr o from all properties calculated to impair the
