This mornings Chronicle says "The
House of Representatives should prepare
forthwith new articles Of impeachment and
arraicn the presidential culprit at once, and
the Senate, as constituted after the admis
sion of the Southern States, should take
short, sharp and decisive a.tion upon it. :"
It is stated that cabinet change is
nendlng, and asserted that new cabinet
will tend to harmonise Congress and the
President, and that the President will
cease obstructing reconstruction ON the
congressional plan, the progress of events
having rendered his own impracticable,
now, and the material interests OF the
South requiring immediate representation
ofsome kind. This statement is made on

WASHINGTON, May 49, Politics very fe-
verish. The atmospheric filed with third
party element, though not sufficiently tan
pible yet to warrant details. The Tribune
captions the elaboration of last nights dis
patch regarding changes in the Presidents
Cabinet and policy as follows "The
Washington agent of the Associated Press,
tplegraphs the following, probably under
White House, and Grimes, Fessenden &
Cos. dictation."
The tone of leading Northern papers and
the spirit of the debate in the Senate and
House to-day indicate that the acguittal
element, with Chase at it's head, are to be
read out of the Republican ranks and that
the Chicago convention can be ruled by
Radical Congressman and editors.
The Tribune's Washington dispatch
says !" First, the conspiracy on the part
ofFessenden, TrumbulI and company, in
cludes not merely the defeat Of impeacl-
ment, but of the Republican party, and of
the candidates Of the Chicago convention.
So far as Mr.. Chase is concerned, it is
knowa, for he does not hesitate to say he
holds the power, that the Republican party
has been led in wrong direction, and that
be has always been opposed to impeach-
ment he has not abandoned those princi-
Piles which he claims to be Republican he
believes in impartial suffrage aud in uni
versal amnesty. Within the last few days
MIR. Chase has said. il the Republican par
ty should persist in its, present course, q
new party must inevitably be organized.
The Times special has the following
"The stories about Chief Justice Chase
and the Presidency are finally coming into
some tangible shape. He has formally
thrown himself into the hands of the Pres

didate he cannot object to the use of his
name, and will run if nominated by the
Conservatives.
The Worlds special says: lift had not
been for the excitement of impeachment
yesterday, the President would have al
most Immediately reorganized his Cabinet.
The State Treasury, War and Interior de-
partments were, as the report says, to be

War, Ex-Gov, Cox, Of Ohio; Interior, Mr.
Catron, Of Illinois. Mr.. Stanberry would
probably be returned to the position OF At

for the new head of the Post Office depart
ment. As the impeachment stands, none
Of these changes can be expected to be
made; and the administration of the Gov

definite period, in the present hands"
LONDON, May Recommending on ac-
quittal the Times says: Eleventh article
almost too vague for any substantial
charge, but vote upon it corrects the fear
of any party bias, and shows the case to
have been judged on its merits Alone
The Morning Telegraph says: Dignity
and deeorum have marked the whole trial
and the non-removal Of the President is a
fitting close; even the most ultra Radical
will be compelled to admit this at no dis
tant day"
The Standard says: "The Radical plot
Is beaten and the country saved the shame
Of deposing its Chief Magistrate for refu-
sing to obey an illegal act of Congress-"
