IMPEACHMENT DISCLOSURES.
Chase COnSpIrfHg with the DemOc-
racy-What the President
has Promised.
Special to Indianapolis Journal

Especial to Indianapolis j Journal
WASHINGTON, May 15.-There have
been startling developments here
to day, which show conclusively that
there has been a regular conspiracy
on the part of Chief Justice Chase
and renegade Republican Senators to
defeat impeachment, and elevate the
former to the Presidency, at the cost
of breaking up the Republican party.
Night before last, Chief Justice
Chase invited Hon. IL. S. Bundy,
member of the Thirty Ninth Con-
gress, from Ohio, to call upon him,
and stated that he had some import
ant matters to talk about. Mr. Bundy
having long shared the unbounded
confidence of Chief Justice Chase,
and being heretofore his firm sup
porter and personal friend, accepted
the invitation. During the interview.
Mr.. Chase told Mr.. Bundy that it was
his intention to become a candidate
for the Presidency on the Democratic
ticket, and not succeeding thus, he
should enter the arena as an indie
pendent candidate against Gen
eral Grant. OF his own success he
said there could be no doubt. The
impeachment would fail, and thus
falling would divide the Republican
party, and statesmen like TrumbuIl,
Fessendeu, Henderson, Grimes and
Fowler, would be recognized as the
head of one division of the RepubIi-
can party. and these FIVE men, he said,
had pledged themselves, not more
than ten days ago, that they would

Impeachment and the Coming Cam
RaigD.

pGaSus
The vote Of the Senate on Satur-
day on the eleventh article Of I'm
parchment indicates pretty conclu-
sively the acquittal of the President.
We had, in a great measure, anticipa-
ted the result. and have already
pointed out the two leading causes
which have brought about the failure.
1t is not to be denied that it is a
matter Of deep regret to the Repub-
lican party, as it is a great calamity
to the country, that the impeachment
Of ANDREW JOHNSON has not resulted
in his conviction and removal from
Office. There is no question in the
mind of any candid person that he is
an obstruction to legislation and re-
construction, and that it were better
for the peace of the Nation that he
were out of Office. Impeachment
once resolved upon, it was the duty
and the policy of the Republican Sen
ators to have been united in his re-
moval. And yet, while it is a source
of disappointment, there is no oc-
casion to be disheartened. ANDREW
JOHNSON, in the Presidential chair,
by his wilful opposition and folly,
has done much to unite the Re-
publican party. His continuance
in office will not be a source of weak
ness to it, with a reliable two-thirds
majority in both Houses of Congress.
With JOHNSON out of the way much
of the political capital for the coming
campaign would be destroyed. Thus
far he has been of no service in pro-
noting the success of the Democracy.
He has, by the action Of the Senate,
fastened himself on that party, and
will be in a condition to compel
them to acknowledge him. It is sit
uation which they would gladly avoid,
and will prove most damaging to them
throughout the Presidential canvass.
The Republican party can go into the
campaign without the encumbrance of
the Administration management up
on It's hands, and will, we doubt not,
be triumphantly sustained by the peo-
pie of the country. Let US go forward
to the battle with the confidence that
certain victory awaits US if we faith
fnlly do our duty In the approaching
conflict

In this time of modification and
indignation at the disafection of
seven reereant Senators, it is mat
ter of congratulation to know that
their places will more than be made
good by a reliable addition to the Re
publican strength of the Senate. The
House of Representatives has passed
the bills for the re admission of North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Tennessee, and Arkansas.
The bill for the admission of Arkan-
sas has been considered in the Sen
ate, and an early action upon it prom
ised. The bill for the admission of
the other States viii receive prompt
attention. In very little time twelve
new Senator's will be added to the Re-
publican side of the Senate, and
two-thirds majority secured beyond
the influence Of JOHNSON, CHASE and
the whisky ring lobbists.

How inappropriate it Is that the
State of Kansas, which has suffered
so much at the hands of the Demo
cracy and the rebels, and which IS
now the most Radical State in the
Union, should furnish the vote which
has determined the acquittal of AN
DREW JOHNSON. On Saturday morn
ing before the Senate met it was IN
derstood that the vote on the i'm
parchment of the President would be
very close, and that the result was
most probably dependent upon the
vote Of Ross, Of Kansas. That vote
was given for acquittal, and the arch
criminal will, it is feared, go unpun-
ished.
It will be asked " Who is Ross?"
He was, before the rebellion, the
editor Of weekly newspaper in Kan
sas, and held some position in the
army during the war. When jim
LANE caused vacancy in the United
States Senate by blowing out his
brains, Ross by some unexpected in
fuence succeeded in procuring an
appointment from the Governor to
the position until the meeting Of the
lie islature. By the liberal use Of
his official patronage, and by other in
fuences not so creditable, he was en-
abled to secure his election for the
unexpired term. Ross never again
expected to have such turn Of good
luck, and doubtless resolved ito
make hag while the sun was shining"

proDbecy Fulfilled.

It will be remembered show stoutly
the uncompromising Republicans of
Illinois opposed the election of Mr..
TRUMBULL to the Senate Of the
United States. After a long and
closely contested canvass IN the Leg
islative caucus that gallant soldier and
true statesman, Gen. JOHN NJ. PALMER
was cast aside, and LYMAN TRUM-
BULL was elected, mainly because he
was in possession of the seat and had
the influence to command the votes.
1t was an affront to the soldiers of
Illinois and a political blunder.
The Chicago Republican Of June
IA, 1867, the morning of the day on
which the legislative caucus was held,
gave twenty reasons why TRUMBULL
should not be reelected. The first
and sixteenth were as follows:
1. Because he IS naturally a Conser-
UatjUe, and the Republican party Of
Illinois IS Radical
is. BECAUSE He WILL NOT
SUSTAIN THE HOUSE OF REP
RESENTATIVES AND THE RE-
PUBLICAN PARTY IN BRING
ING ANDREW JOHNSON TO
THE BAR OF JUSTICE, AND
IAIPEACHING AND. REMOVING
HIM FROM OFFICE, FOR HIS
CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS.
How fully these reasons have be-
come accomplished prophecy, may be
seen by TRUMBULL' vote on impeach-
ment, last Saturday. In the same
issue Of the Republican, there were
published the following extracts from
Copperhead journals:

cratic friends of the Legislature, then,
we hold to be plain. Vote for the

admiration nor liking tor Lyman
Trumbull, but he IS a better MN for

will be conservative the moment he
dares to be-the moment the public
sentiment of the State leans that way,
and if elected we have no doubt he

GRANVILLE. MattOOn 4 Chicago R.R.

The delegation Of gentlemen from
Southwestern Illinois, representing
the GRANVILLE & Mattoon Railroad,
have been to Chicago for the purpose
of inviting the capitalists, railway
men and merchants Of that city to the
project for a railway connection with
Olney, GRANVILLE and Mount Yer
non. The Chicago papers, of Thurs
day and Friday last, devote con-
siderable attention to the subject,
producing a map of the route, and ex-
hibiting the resources offered and ex-
pected with which to build it. They
appear to take it for granted that the
GRANVILLE & Mt. Vernon road is an
assured fact. and that all that Chicago
and the Illinois counties have to do
is to build the intervening sec ton,
from NATION to GRANVILLE. 1t is
stated that the counties Of Richland
and Edwards have each voted sub
scriptions of $4,000 to this road,
those of Cumberland and Jasper,
100000 each, and the township of
Mattoon $50, 000-making the sum of
S55O,OOO.
From Mount Vernon they look for
ward to a junction with the Evans
vile, Henderson and Nashville road at
or near jacksonville, and thus pro-
pose a through route from Chicago to
Nashville and the South. The Chi
cago papers claim it as an important
route for that city, both for its local
trade with the country through which
the road would pass, but also on ac-
count of the benefits which would re-
suit from the Southern connections.
We are glad to know that the public Of
that enterprising city are casting their
eyes towards the South. There is no
doubt but that the trade Of the region
through which the Road would run
to reach the Wabash and Ohio Rivers
would contribute very largely to the
business of that city. Once convinced
of their interest in the enterprise,
and there is strong hopes that they
might give it such aid as would
insure its completion to GRANVILLE.
Evansville is disposed to look
upon the enterprise, we think,
with much favor, and wish it
speedy success, and be prepared to
meet it. We must have a railroad
into Illinois, and the only question
mooted is in what direction; whether
to join this Chicago road at Gray
vile, at Mount Vernon, or at some
intermediate point, and thence push
out into the interior of the State.

the removal of ANDREW JOHNSON
would certainly result in the defeat
Of the Republican party. By the
votes of Republican Senators, it Is

The Trade OF Warrick and Spencer
Counties,


We commend the following extract
from the Rockport Journal to the at
tention of our merchants. The trade
Of Warrick and Spencer Counties, by
the Indifference and inattention of our
merchants, in a great measure goes to
Louisville, New Albany and Cincin-
natl, when it could, with the proper
effort, be brought to this city, where
it naturally belongs. The Rockport
paper, in advocating the building Of
the telegraph line between Evans
vile and Grandview, says:
An article from the Evansville
Daily JOURNAL, which we copy this
week, states that the line can BE built
for the sum of four thousand dollars.
Certainly, it would seem. that if our
people wish telegraphic eommunica-
ton with the rest of the world, they
can afford to pay so small a sum for
it. And if the Evansville merchants
would look a little less after the
Southern trade, or at least not en-
tirely ignore the counties of Spencer
and Warrick, and would help US q
little they would be benefited there
by, in that they would soon secure a
wholesale trade that now goes almost
exclusively to Louisville, Cincinnati
and New York.

Mr.. Dundy his views in full of this

as to its success, and predicting the

The Skies DarIke1r,

. The Radicals in the General
Assembly have not disappointed
their opponents. The political
skies, which cleared up for mo-
ment when the State, to use the
words of W. L. McMillen, "was
set afoat in the deep waters of the
Union" are now dark and boding.
That gentleman solemnly protested
against the proper exercise of mill
tary authority by Gen. Buchanan
on the very first day of the con
vocation Of that General Assem-
bly, which was to bring peace to
Louisiana. The rebuke of tile
Times, that "bayonets were indis-
pensable to negro rule, was met
by the Radical answer that when
Louisiana had become full robed
in the civil dignity of a readmitted
State, such tools of despotism
would not be needed. Now, when
the civil supremacy is admitted,
the Radicals Of both Houses unan-
imously call upon the General Of
the Armies" to send troops hither.
In addition to this call, which has
already passed, d militia bill 10
