WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The Radicals
are collecting here prominent members
of the party, such as Greeley and otberg
to turn the current Of disaster which
is setting againt them. Greeley visited
several doubtful Senators to-day. but
steered wide OF Fessenden, Grimes, Trlm-
bull and Henderson. These Senator's
form a fruitful theme for Radical ani-
madversiOn. f. ....s. ..-E s.a
The Missouri Radical Congressman spent
the greater part of last night with Hen
derson, and to-day again were impIorinc
and threatening him by turns. They had
the impotence to address him letter, re-
questing him not to vote, or resign. He
will vote, and it is not altogether certain
he will not vote for the eleventh article.
The impeaehers are discouraged at the
aspect of affairs, but will work like Tro-
jams until Saturday.
Evarts said to-day there was no doubt of
the acquittal of the President.
Friends of the President assert that FoN-
Ter and Wiley viii surely vote against
conviction.
A number. Of dispatches were received
by members announcing demonstrations in
favor of Impeachment, at various points
North and West. Contrawise a dispatch
was received from Chicagot that the Tribune

mastery effort in his speech against
the bill to admit the carpet baggers under
the negro Constitution of Southern States.
Bingham fared mp when Beck said they
would swallow Stevens amendment to the
bill which provides that individual debts
created in those States during the war shall
be repudiated, excepting where the credit

look Of uumeasured contempt.
The demonstrations IL Committee this
morning refused to report Mr.. Bingham's
amendment to their bill, which will pass
tomorrow under the previous question.
Yet one Of these, the Alabama Con-
stitutiOn, was voted down by the people,
stigmatzed as unworthy by Meade, and has
already been rejected by Congress with
Stevens aid. ..
Special to the Louisville Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-There are Ay-
ing rumors relative TO changes of opinion
on the part of certain Senators in regard to
impeachment, but have fully ascertained
that they are wholly unfounded. They
are got up and circulated by the Radicals,
who, so far as L am able TO see, can derive
no advantage from them. They cannot
make one hair either white or black. They
are the resorts Of disappointed, enraged and
desperate men, who like Tantalus, have
seen the cup Withdrawn idst as they were
about touching its foaming contents with
their parched lips. A. --. ...
The status is unchanged. Notwithstand-
ing the Radical professions Of confidence,
the Presidents friends are perfectly tran
quill, and he himself is said 20 be as serene
as the bluest sky of spring. ..t .ul
( The friends of Mr.. Hendricks assert his
unEillingness to accept nomination for
the Vice Presidency. He is an able and
true man, who would grace any official
position or private station. s
The Radicals only hope for convic-
tion on the eleventh article, on which
they claim Wiley, Van Winkle, Ross and
Henderson. In my judgment, conviction
is impossible. a.. ...t f.. ..e..-
The Virginia delegation supports Han
cock for the Presidency. His friends claim
ten Southern delegations, New England,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
Delaware and Maryland. The movement
is undoubtedly one Of great strength
Thousands are offered on his nomination,
and equal amounts on his election.
