Tie Democratic. members of Con-
gress held am informal meeting IN
Washington, on Wednesday evening,
at which Presidential possibilities ard
expedients were very freely can
vassed. The general sense of the
gathering seemed to be that General
w. S. HANCOCK, who has a reputa
ton as fighting man, came nearest to
the standard of availability for the
Presidential nomination; and that by
conceding that much to Northern pref
udiees3 in relation to the recent IN
pleasantness, it would not be impossi-
BILE to carry sound representative of
Democratic principle in the person of
Judge THURMAN, for the second Of
fee. We caution our Democratic
friends not to commit themselves too
strong for General HANCOCK, until
they see how he succeeds in his new
military department. AT one
time they had strong hopes
of ScHOFTELD, ORD and Others,
who all turned out to be the very
worst of Radicals. What assurance
have they that HANCOCK, when he gets
to New Orleans and ascertains the
character of the people with whom
he has to deal, will not also become
poisoned with Radiealism? Should
such an unfortunate event occur, they
would be without candidate. The

THE Washingten CORRESPONDENT Of

The Washington correspondent Of
the New York 4adependfat SAYS that
there is ? rapidly increasing dispose
ton among Republican Congressman
to let impeachment ga by default. He
Significantly admits that the removal
of the President does not involve a
great principle, and that members are
at liberty to consider the expedieEcy
of such a course aside from the ques-
ton of the Presidents guilt. Consid-
ering the previous position of the In
dependent, both it's editor and its
Washington correspondent, this con-
fession that impeachment is a ques-
ton of expediency, rather than Of
principle, is significant. On the sub
ieot of the. next Presidency he says:
Governor Boutwell,, who spends
two thirds of the year in Washington,
favors the nomination of Grant for
the Presidency, | hear; and he is the
last man in Congress to advocate the
nomination of anybody " hose. posi-
ton he considered doubtful on any
important question at issue. con-
clude, therefore, that he has absolute
knowledgesof Gen. Grants political
opinions"
The current in favor of GRANT is
expanding and deepening. BY the
time the next Convention assemblies,
the people will have decided not only
the candidates but the platform. The
Convention will have littlesto. do but
