WAsHISGToS, May l9.-The course Of
the managers star chamber investigation
is audacious. Butler conducts the pro.
ceedings with brutality and insolence.
Yesterday, Perry Fuller was compelled
to resent his insults, and to day he was
sven more offensive in the examination
of Chas. Woolly with reference TO the
alleged corrupt influences brought to
bear on Senators.
Woolly answered all the questions
but that concerning discussing $50, 900,
for which he drew draft on Cincin-
natl bank last week. he disputed the
right of the managers to pry into his pri-
vate business, but stated the transaction
was purely of business character, and
had nothing to do with impeachment. If
the House had not adjourned so early
Butler would have had him before the
bar to-day to answer for his contumacy,
and avows his purpose TO have hiR held
until be does answer.
Woolly is credited with the charge Of
the Western whisky interests here, and
it is suggested if the managers press
the witness too close they may get into
some secret ofihe Infamous whisky ring
which is mainly composed of Radicals.
Butler attempted to bully and browbeat
Woolly, but was decidedly worsted in
the contest
There is authority for stating that
several Of the managers are provoked at
the course of Butler, who pursues the in
vestigation recklessly, as they are salts
fed it will hzzle out
The press reports Of startling develop
ments connected with the investigation
are purely fiction.
So far from Grant declining the nomi-
nation, he said to friend to-day that 1t
would be ungra.eful to decline after
allowing the use Of his name until now.
The prospects Of the party are so
gloomy that Grant opposes the project OF
reading out Senator Fessenden ana
others By the Chicago Convention, and
his views will prevail, notwithstanding
the frantic Efforts Of John Logan ana
others Of Wade's friends. who are mad

WARRINGTON.

| wAsnNaroS, May Ex-senator Hen
dsrsou was examined by the impeach
kment managers. He said that the Mis-
souri, delegation called on him and urged
impeachment from party point OF
view; he rejected this view, and IN
formed them that his duties we're judicial,
and not political Some feeling arose,
when, under the excitement Of the mo-
ment, Mr.. Henderson said that he would
resign his seat; after reflection he con-
cluded this course would be wholly in
admissible, andhe so informed the mem
bers; he said he did not believe that the
members intended to corruptly influence
his vote; he thought they had taken q
false aud erroneous view of the sub
ject, and were at first disposed
to pursue il withtoo much zeal; he was
asked about dining with the Chief JUS
tice, and said that he was the only one OF
the fourteen Senators reported who
really diued with him on the occasion
mentioned he said he had had ne CON-
munication with the Chief Justice with
reference to the reported new party,
nor had the Chief Justice ever
attempted to influence his mind on the
Subject of impeachment; nor did he
believe that the Chief Justice had tried
to influence the mind of any Senator in
relation to Cabinet changes. He said
that in his judgment too much of the
controversy between Mr.. johnson and
Congress springs from the advice OF an
incompetent cabinet; and thatthe selec-
ton of more and unsel6sh men, from
either or both of the parties, would tend
to give peace to the country and restore
confidence to business. He stated that
no assurance, of any character whatever,
had been made-directly or indirectly
to him by the President, or to any one
else, so far as he knew; and if they
had been made, they could have had no
influence on his judgment. After giving
his evidence he protested against the
right of the committee to examine him
in matters relating to q Senator, and
said that hegwould not attend again until
he had laid the case before the Senate.

From the Montgomery (Ala.) Mail, May 49,
From the following letters it will be
seen that the case of Mr.. Ryland Ran
dolph was laid before the President OF
the United States. His release from the

doubtless due to an order from the Pres
ident . ~
MY DEAR GENERAL: Yours of the
lst inst. to Mr.. Parsons and myself, was
received yesterday, and we at once pro-
ceeded to address the President letter,
copy Of which is sent herewith, and
had it delivered the same day. If we
get no answer before tomorrow, we mean
to seek personal interview with him.
We believe he will interfere.
The impeachment draws to a close,
and all the indications are in favor OF
acquittal. This will leave the President
firmly in the saddle. 50 WsN y

There is little to say, because little has
been developed concerning the other
gentleman named, so far as their chances
aud nominations are concerned; and
there are other candidates named, but
the above are the most prominent ones.
1t is probablesthat before the conven-
ton proceeds to business, resolution
will be offered and adopted denouncing
the seven recreant Republican Senators.
II will be utterly impossible for the con.
vention to quietly ignore the events oil
the past ten days, and it could only have
been done by blindfolding the people for
the past fortnight. As this was not
done, the ostrich, which hides itself
by running its head in the sand, is a fair
symbol of the folly that would seek to
ignore, in this great national council Of
Republicanism, the actual condition Of
our cause with those Judges yet uu-
hanged, counting their silver on the
Threshold of our gathering. The rene
