II a violation Of the tenure Of office bill and
grounds for impeachment in which, Bout

consisting Of Messrs. Boutwell, and Bingham,
Radicals, and Beck, to examine witnesses In
regard TO the matter, and report the result Of
their investigation to the full committee
at an early day, and they were at work this
afternoon. - -Us.. I'd si..-. :.
Bingham Is little dubious about the eff.
feet Of the impeachment, but the Radicals
will be guided solely by partisan CONSIDERS

impeachment Is decidedly the popular cry
with the weaker friends of Grant who hate
the President for his exposure OF Grants du-
plicity. 3 -l 4..e = eNs 4E

rie sent in his resignation to-day as United
States Senator TO the Governor on account

WASHINGTON, Feb 9.-There is an un.
doubted conspiracy to impesch the President
on the Graut-Stanton correspondence, Int
the President is not In the slig itest degree
apprehensive. He has the statements of all
his Cabinet, with Seward at The head, to
prove that Grants promises to him were
clear and explicit and if they irnpeach the
President for design to nullify the tenure
of-ofice bill, what becomes of Grant, who
voluntarily participated in it2
This argument will crush OFT the new i'm.
parchment project, aud has already famed
Grant in the Presidential race. 1t is said tba,
beiises this Cabinet statement the Preside mt
has hehindan other ertowhich Grant gave
his assent while member Of the Cabinet.
which will show that Grant was entirely
ready to aid him against any unconstitution-
al action of Congress when Impeachment,
was agitated before.
Secretary McCulloch Is becoming very I'M.
easy in his seat. The Chase men despise him
for his base betrayal of their chief and
would move heaven and earth to have his
successor confirmed If they could induce the
President to remove him.
There are new and very dark hints of en-
ormous swindling in the bond printing bust
