From Our Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, May ., 1865.

Another week has been spent, ifnot wasted,
in long-winded arguments before the court Of
impeachment. Mr.. Evarts made three days
argument, the points even of which | must
leave your readers to obtain through other
channels, not necessarily so limited as a cor
respondents letter
presume, however, that in Vermont. as
here, the people care little for the views of
managers or counsel, and will hardly waste
their time or spoil their eyes in reading their
intermnablc conflicts with time called drgt-
mcats They are doubtless waiting with
strained and anxious attention for the final re-
suit lPhaf this may be, or 1cbeR it will be
attained, | regret my inability toinlorm them.
As the end approaches, rumor is unusually
busy in coming AL putting into circulation
the most reckless and oxtrayagant reports
such as whispering the names of a sufficient
number of Republican Senators who are sure
TO vote against conviction, to defeat impeach-
ment mentioning others who are doubtful
and again, more than insnuating that millions
Of money are here, to be thrown into the scale
at the proper time.
In each and all of these reports, rmor
doubtless INDUCES only in idle speculation
do not believe that single Senator has been
so mdscreet as to express any pre-iudgment of
the case nor that single Senator has been
approached, directly or indirectly, with the
offer Of "a bride. Whoever votes contrary To
the majority, or contrary to general cxpccta-
