GEO. WILKES ON CHIEF JUSTICE
CHASE,

The trenchant pea Of Geo. Wilkes
which performed such fearful execution
upon poor " Little Mac I" is not idle
nor dull now that Chief Justice Chase
has put himself in a position toward
the Republican party which, by com
parison, ia more desplcable than that
occupied by the hero of Harrison S Land
ing. In a late number of his paper,
The Spirit of the Times, he drew a
strong picture of the lawyers con-
epiracy which is headed by Chase,
FesseHden, Trumbull and Grimes and
in addition thereto, be telegraphs as
follows from Washington, May 10th
Chief Justice Chase is still devoting HIM
self to the corruption of Senators, in the
interest of Johnson. He yesterday dined
the two Virginia Senators because they were
considered doubtful, and recently closeted
himself for three hours with Senator An
thony, after dining him at his house, and
endeavored to overwhelm him with legal
assurances that the President ought not to
be convicted. He has devoted himself to
this shameless course with Senators ever
since the trial opened, and is doing nearly
all the dirty work of Johnson. His main
assistant in this dirty task is that soulless
shadow Evarts, who sold his political po-
sition to Johnson for fee, and who is earn
ing his price by lobbying with Senators for
acquittai. The managers Yesterday had it
under consideration to arrest him for this
unprofessional and criminal conduct but
were informed, wkile in deliberation, that
he had left town. General Sickles has re-
Gently learned that he was removed from
the Department of the Carolinas by Johnson
n the express demand of Chase. We can
now begin to see how, between Johnson
and NJ. Chase, jet. Davis has escaped.

ABOUT DIvIDENDs.-Ths Kentuck Com
pany declared a dividend Of $50 per share,
payable on the 10th of this month. The
Savage Company will undoubtedly pay a
dividend of s. so per share on the 18th of
this month, and the Crown Point is expected
to pay the same on the 18th; the Gold Hill
Quartz Mill & Mining Company will proba-
18th and it is thought the Consolidated Gold
Hill will pay the same amount the same day.
All this is cheering news. Our bullion ship

THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE
MOTIVES OF CONSCIENTIOUS
SENATORS

0&AN AO4>1s
The Washington Chronicle of the 10th
inst. puts Us in possession of the fol
lowing interesting facts relative to the
investigation, by the House Managers
into the actuating motives for certain
Senators votes upon the eleventh ar
,icle of impeachment:
The board of managers constituting a COM
1nittee to investigate the facts relative to the
votes of the recreant Senators, held quite a
lengthy meeting yesterday. Among the wit
nesses examined were Perry Fuller, OF New
Ysrk, Daniel VOORHEES,, of Indiana, and
General Thomas Ewing, Jr. These witnesses
were examined with regard to their relations
with and interviews with Senator Ross.
General Butler was engaged last evening at
the First National Bank in examining the
bark account of Mr.. Fuller, together with
M Huntington, cashier of the bank, who
was also with the committee during the day.
The investigation has already resulted in the
disclosure of some startling facts, which If Is
not deemed advisable to make public at this
time. Last evening a new subpoena was
esrved on Chas. Woolev, (who refused to
respond to the one served on Sunday by De
putty Sergeant-at-Arms W. Alberger,) and it
is probable that Wooley will appear before
the committee to-day, as the subpoena was
served upon him at Wizards Hotel, and
was regularly signed by the Speaker of the
House. Weoiey rs the agent Of the Western
branch of the whisky ring, and is supposed
to be conversant with the most important
facts regarding TIE detection Of two or more
Senators.
The /" startling facts" will, we hope
be given to the country. We are left to
suspect more strongly than hitherto that
the Managers have a clue to the trans
actions which induced the reereancy Of
Ross and Fowler. While the honor and
good name Of the Republic suggest the
suppression of the shameful fact that
Senators of the United States have
been the recipients of corrupting gold,
Justice to the best interests of the
country make sterner demand that
such villainies, whenever perpetrated,
eheuld be exposed and their perpetra-
tors summarily punished with the e1-
tremest penalties Of the law. The
above clears up the mystery as to who
Wooley is, and confirms the suspicion
that he is an agent of the Whisky Ring
1t is to be hoped that the prospecting of
the Managers will lead to the discovery
of the true assure lode " of all the |
abominable villainies which were en-
ployed to secure, and resulted in, John
sons escape from conviction.

Mr.. vallandigham is the bottle imp Of the
democratic party, which is continually trying to
get rid Of him. without any success. The
World in its issue Of yesterday tries to throw
him overheard, but like the mysterious bottle
back he will come again. The World says:
1.-THE forbearance heretofore practised by the
democratic press towards Clement L. Vallandig'
ham has ceased to be virtue. So long as h,
injured the psrty only by the discredit brough,
upon it by his character, we remembered that
he had. been victim Of arbitrary power, and
passed his imperfections by And now that
he has spitcfuly contributed to the defeat Of thu
party, and exults in his revenge, he has can
celled his claims to lcnity, and releases US Il
speak Of him as We would Of any other avowcl
foe. II was he that defeated Colonel Burns In
the eighth congressional district Of Ohio, and hi
glories in the achievement. The article from
the Dayton Ledger, which we copy in another
place, is attributed, to the pen Of Mr.. Vallan'
digham but We have seen more direct evidenc,
Of his revengeful exultation over the democratic
losses in that district. His attachment to IN,
democratic party is like the reverence Of an an
cient worshipper Of Isis for the sacred COW. II,
dealt her plentiful volley Of curses and kick.
when he found that she could not be MIXED in
to his pail"
We do no: think that any prayers are likel,
to rid the democratic party Of Mr.. Vallandig
ham.

The President seems to be fated to be under
stood, or the reverse. He plays his little games
in 50 bunglinga manner that no ANONYMOUSLY
fails, succeeding only in substantiating to the
whole country that he Is not only . gigantic
demagogue, but notorious liar. His latest ef.
fort at this time Of writing Is his endcavor "a
snub and escape Gen. Grant by nominating Gen.
Sherman to be General by brcvet, 30 that he Can
issue his orders through him and'thus ignore
Grant, and he has created new military de-
psrtmcnt and assigned to II Gen. Sherman with
his headquarters at Washington This would
be very pretty piece Of strategy, but fortu-
nately II has in II no element Of success.
In the law creating the Office Of General there
Is no provision made for brevet rank to that
high Office, and johnson has no more authority
to brevet that rank, than he had to create the
Office Of Provisional Governor Of North Carolina,
or. than he has that of Lord High Popolorum Of
his whskcy Bottle. But the amusing part Of
this action Of the handcufed gentleman Is, that
Gen. Sherman is violently indignant at this at
tempt OF johnson to ruin his (Sherman's) repu-
tation by making the people believe that john
son is endorsed by him, and he telegraphs his
brother, Senator Sherman, that the Senate must
refuse to sanction the nomination and he fur
thermore threatens to resign rather than come
to Washington as indicated by the President /!
johnson is surprised at this action Of Sherman
and claims that he like Grant Is playing him
false; that he gave him (Johnson) to understand
that he would accept instead Of reject Thus
we have a prospect Of some spicy correspond
ence, and johnson takes issue with the two
greatest military men in the world, whom the
people revercntly love, on question Of veracity,
his weakest point excepting always men and
fast women.

New Yonx, Feb. 18th. The Tribune's Wash-
ington despatch states that Lieut. Gen. Sherman
has autographed to one or two Of his friends in
Washington and other places that he does not
believe that the President can legally create
new military division he Is 50 determined on
the point that he prefers the alternative Of res
ignation and will 30 act II ordered to accept the
post. Lieut.. Gen. Sherman has telegnphcd to
his brother to have the Military Committee to
refuse'to sanction the appointment and the sena-
tor win present bill denying the authority Of
the President 10 mako the proposed change. II Is
said that the words af the law directing that
officers over 40 years In the service may be re-
leved, viii be % altered as to read "shall be re-
tired" under which Gen. Thomas will have to
leave the service.
The Worlds despatch states that the friends
Of the President arc urging him to remove
Mr.. Stanton and appoint another member Of the
Cabinet to perform the duties ad Interim, as
this would only lead to judicial proceedings.
The matter was expected to como before the
Cabinet yesterday. The insubOriinatc position
Of Grant towards the President is given as
cause for the immediate arrest and court mar
failing Of the General. The chances are In IA
yor Of McClellan's nomination for English
minister The Herald's special states that Gen.
Clay has rendered his resignation rs minister to
Russia. Hon. Thaddcus Stevens is writing out
his views on the question Of impeaching the
President for resistance Of the tenure Of office

House.
Washington specials state that c. c. Eaton
has perfected an invention to stop whiskey
frauds. It is barrel check to take the place Of
the bung containing a secret division in which
Is locked an engraved and printed secret stamp
issued from'the Treasury lettercd and numbered

another. The keys arc placed In the hands Of
the Revenue Inspectors only.
Attorney General stanberry will soon issue
an opinion holding that the measuring Of the
net Of Congress relative to orders on reconstruc-
ton Is that purely military orders arc to be Is
sued by tho general Of the armies and not those
Of civil nature. This will endorse the Prcsi-
dents action in countcrmanding Grants orders
