A correspondent Of the Chicago Journal says
it is within the easy recollection of many hun
dred gentlemen who stood in front of Mr.
Trumbull in Court House Square, one pleas
ant evening in October, 1866, that he then elo-
quently stated that he was in favor of impeach-
ment and removal of President johnson. And
the correspondent pertinently asks:
Have the subsequent misdoings and
enormities of the recreant Executive ION
some philosophic principle best known
to Mr.. TrurnbulD negatived all his evil
behavior up to the above mentioned
date ?
Has Mr.. Trumbull gained some "new
light from the inner temple?" since
his reelection, which enables him more
clearly to offset motives against acts, or
vice cersa, thereby finding extenuating
circumstances?
Has he received some gentle missive
from the X. X. KS, which has "modi-
fied'' his views of Johnson's unworthi-
ness, iLcapacity and guilt ?
Or is there some weighty "considera-
tion," which has biased or unbiased Mr..
Trumbull's Judgment

1t is very persfstently asserted and believed
about Washington, that the apostate senators
have been influenced by largesscs to vote fol-
acquittal, and this is strengthened by the fact
that Senator TrumbuIl, at least, is known to
have been closeted more than once with no.

These allegations are of sufficient character to
induce an investigation, and the Managers have
been engaged in ferreting out the truth of them

among them the Hon Thomas Ewing, Sr
Daniel Voorhies of Indiana, and Perry Fuller
1t is said, says the Tribune, that startling devel
opments were made, but the Managers preserve
the strictest silence on the subject Many wit
nesses have been summoned from the whisky
ring. Senator Van Winkle, it may be remem-
bered, read an opinion in favor of conviction
on the eleventh article, but subsequently chang

RECONSTRUCTION. The House of Rep.

votes restoring the commonwealths OF
Arkansas, North and South Carolina,
Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama to their
old places as States i'll the Union
These bills were adopted by vote of
los to 35. Strange to say, the 35 nays
were from the party who have clamored
so long and loudly about wrongfully
keeping ten States out of their represel-
tation in the Union, and have bitterly
denounced the Republicans because they
were not admitted, and now, oh eonsis-
tency, rs soon as these States about
whom they have been SO much exercised
apply for their rights, the democratic
representatives in Congress oppose their
admission and vote no! Thus acknowl-

GEN. GRANT recently said to a leading
Congressman, that, if johnson was ac
quilted, he, (Grant) would be the next
man struck-meaning thereby that the
President, having trampled on the Ten.
uFe Of Office Law, and his action having
been approved by the Senate be. would
next 'test the constitutionally" of the
law which now compels him to issue
all military orders through the General
Of the Army, and prevents him from
practically removing Grant from the
head of the Army by sending him to
distant parts ofthe country on fools er.

THE New PARTY.-A Washington special
to the Cincinnati Cdmmerc,al contains the fol-
lowing which may be credited or not:
Mr.. Johnson has long cherished the no
tion of third party, and this idea, if not
suggested, was stimulated by Mr.. Sew
ard, who saw no chance for his cordial
reception by the democratic leaders,
The Philadelphia Convention was gotten
up by johnson and Seward for this pur-
pose, though joined afterward by many
democrats who had no idea of abandon
ing their regular organization. The pur-
pose was to elect MIR. johnson or MIR.
Seward by a great popular movement,
on the ruins of the old parties but the
scheme was broken up 1t is believed
to have been revived lately by Mr.. Sew
ard and his adjutants, Thurlow Weed
ond Raymond. The course of events,
and the impeachment imbroglio, have
furnished the material for this movement,
and the following prominent politicians
are named as persons likely to favor it {:
Andrew johnson, Seward, McCulIoch,
Browning, Randall, Stanberry, Chief
Justice Chase, the two Ewipgs, Robert
J. Walker, Groesbeck, Fessenden, Trum.

Henderson, Evarts, Gen. Banks, Rever-
dy johnson, Jay Cooke, and number cf
journalists, embracing Raymond, Thur
low Weed, w. G. Bryant, and other in
fluential men. Should the non-impeach-
ers be read out at Chicago, a great i'm
petus will have been given to the move
ment.

New PARrY-One of tire ehimefas0 OF the
apostates of the Senate, with the chief justice
at their head, is said to be the organization OF
a new holiiicafparty, part of the programme
of which is an affiliation of those life long
republicans, or anti-democrats, with the cop
perhcad democracy. On this ground is account
by Mr.. Chase, and the affinity that has been
manifested of late by this Magnus Politicus
with Johnsonism.
JonNsoN's ACQU1TrAL~-In the faee OF
prediction to the contrartt, The Senate
reached a vote on'the impeachment mat
ter on Saturday last. The vote was ta-
ken on the test, and that which was con-
sidered the last count of the Indictment
that having reference to the violation OF
law in the renewal of the Secretary OF
War. The apprehension felt, that sull-
dry Republican Senators would be found
wanting in the hour of trial, was verified
in this vote. 36 votes were necessary 10
secure conviction, and it is worthy OF
note, that it failed by just one vote, an
evidence of economy in the arrangement,
worthy of commendation, for when you
talk of votes at million each, as did
some Of the johnson Journals, the mat
ter becomes of too much moment for the
venture of anything in wasteful margins.
The vote was 35 to 10. Among them
is forr ever embalmed the names of rec
reant Republicans, several OF whom vo-
ted straight in some of the preliminary
steps to impeachment, but in the decl-
siye hoGt found considerations enough
to disappoint the common expectation,
and so voted as to continue in place one
who had made friends with the plotters
and perpetratorsof every phase of iniq-
uity, from the "whiskey ring" to tyran-
nv, and red-handed violence and murder.
With such assurance and support,
what will this bad man not do =? and
what is to be the unhappy fate of loyal
ty,. whether white or black, where, er
the resuscitated spirit of rebellion holds
sway Let the men who have thus stul-
titled themselves, reap the full harvest
of infamy due to those, who for pelf or
envy, became apostates to their convie-
tion of principle and patriotism. Here
is the roll ;,

Mr.. GARFIELD, OIL the 10Th, made an
elaborate argument in the House iii fi-
vor of his bill, introduced on the 10th
Of February, to provide for gradual
return to specie payment. The bill
provides that on and after the first
of Decemucr,, 1868, the Secretary of
Treasury shall exchange gold tor legal
tender notes, at the rate of one gold dol
lar for one dollar" and thirty cents in
currency; on the 1st of January, 1869,
at one dollar and twenty nine cents, and
on the first OF each succeeding month at
similar rates, until the exchange is dol
lar for dollar, and that on and after
June l, 1871, the United States will pay
gold for all its legal-tender notes, dollar
for dollar. 1t leaves the question Of con-
traction or expansion of the currency to
future legislation.
Mr. Garfeld's remarks were eminently
suggestive, and his arguments were for
clblc, and to us they appear conclusive.
Mr.. Garfield criticised the course of Mr..
McCulloch, and characterized his policy
as detrimental to our best interests. He
spoke of him as simply drifting along,
and as waiting for something to turn
up" His language, however, was dig
nitied and courteous, so that the Sccrc-
tary himself, though he may demur to
the argument of Gen. Garfield, cannot
complain of the spirit and eandor in
which it was uttered.
1t really seems to us to be one of the
most statesmanlike arguments to which
we have listened for many day.
