The Times despatch says that Mr..
Fessenden admits having prepared an
opinion conceding to the President the
right of removal under the Constitution
but saws that he has not told any one Yet
how he will vote on the various articles.
He is clamoring for delay, and says the
case must not be hurried through.
The President is in excellent spirits,
and saws he has not the slightest idea
of being convicted, and has assurance
that the Senate will to-day agree to adj
iourn over till Monday, and that there
will be no decision for the next two
weeks.
The Worlds despatch says that the
ImDeachers have taken fresh courage to-
dav upon the development of a contract
entered into between Messrs. Wade,
Colfax and Wilson severaily, candidates
for Vice President, whereby it IL agreed
that at the proper suspicious moment
before the close Of the Impeachment tri-
al, Mr. Wade will resign as President
pro tenn. of the Senate and vote for the
conviction of the President, and Mr..
Colfax thus becomes the successor Of
Mr.. johnson in ease of the latter's re
moval, and therefore Mr.. ColfaX with
draws from competition for Vice Presi-
dent. In this event Mr.. Wilson is to
write a letter declining the nomination
of Vice President before the Chicago
Convention,
The Times despatch says the prospect
now is that the Senate will consume
the balance of this week in deliberation
and probably render a verdict Monday.
The panic caused by the supposed failure
Of Impeachment was pretty thoroughly
exploded to-day.
The reckless stories about Mr.. Fessen-
den and others, proved to be absolutely
without a shadow of foundation. 1t is
believed a verdict will be reached in the
Senate by Saturday.
The Trtbune's despatch says that the
indications are, that the Senate to-day,
amend the rules of debate, and adjourn
till Saturday. Around the hotels and
club-ro0ms, betting men are active;
to 20 is offered on conviction, with no
| takers. Conviction is so sure that these
people are beginning to lay wagers upon
seperate articles, so few being DESTROYS
of investing their surplus fractional cur
rency on the general result.
Geo. Wilkes does not believe in the
detection Of Mr.. Fessenden from the inn
peachers, and bet 100 this morning
against 20 that Mr.. Fessenden was sure
for conviction.
