The Great Day at wa.hington.

On Tuesday, when it was known that the
vote on the impeachment articles was post
poned, responses began to come to Senators
and Representatives some time before noon,
and before the adjournment were received
in an uninterrupted stream, and these being
passed around soon set the minds of all at
rest concerning the feelings of the country.
Taking the day through, telegraph men
say, there has been no great occasion for
long time when the country was so prompt
to respond, and where the sentiments ex.
pressed were so strong and so nearly of the
same character.
From nearly all the Northern and Eastern
States kilograms state that the whole coun.
try was alive with excitement, and that the
feeling was very strong against the renegade
Republicans who went over to the side of
the President.
Southern Union men in Washington or.
sanized for the purpose of placing the
situation of Union men in the South, as they
deemed it would be, should the President
be acquitted, before the Senators.

TnE TRIAL OF JOHNSON.

On the Senate being oallrd to order Tues
day Senator Chandler, Of Michigan, stated
the condition of his colleague, Mr.. Howard,
and asked for a postpowment til! Saturday.
Senator Howard, who was taken with de-
lirium tile day previous, had expressed a
willingness to come atthe risk of his life,
and vote If his vote was determined upon,
though his physician asserted that it would
be very dangerous, and absolutel" refused
to be g party to allowing him to come.
tits thought that the first, fourth, fifth,
sixth NINTH aud tenth articles will fail.
These include thechargs of removing Stan.
tor, conspiracy charges, the Emory article,
and swinging around the circle. It's R'ao
believed that the second snd eleventh, aDd
probably third will receive t1.rty'siI
thirty-eight votes.
Those who have caavassel the sdbject
carefully claim the following senators for
the eleventh article;
Anthony. Cameron Catte. Chandler,
Cole. Conklin, Comes, Corbctt, Cragin,
Drake, Edmunds Ferry Erelinghuysen,
Harlan, Henderson, Howard Howe, Nor.
gan Morrill, of Maine Morrill, Of Vermont,
Morton, Nye. Pattersongf New Hampshire,
Pomeror, Ramsey, Sherman, Sprague,
Stewart, Sumner, Thayer, Upton, Van
Wrinkle, Wade, Wiley Williams, Wilson,
and Yates.
There is disposition to take a vote on
the eleventh article frst 1t is thought that
the second article will be carried by the
above vote, leaving outHendersOn and Van
WiDkIc
Senator Wade says positively he viii vote
Oh Ill articles from f-stto last, rs ne deems
it Lis duty to DO, and that when the case is
decided it will be quite time enough to con-
slider other questions vhich concern him
personally.
Only three Republican Senators have
committed themselves to vote against all
the charges-Messrs. Crimes Trumbull and
Fessendon. Senators Van Wrinkle and Hen.
dezaon will vote agaiDstmost Of the articles,
but it is now hoped will vote for the
eleventh. Nothing certain is Anown Of Sen
ator Fowler. Senators Ross and Wiley, it
is stated, will positi5e elyvote for conviction,
The speech of Mr.. Morton, Of Indiana in
the Senate Monday night produced Q
marked effect. His esfnestaess axed the
attention of all the Senator upon him.
One of the strongest points he made was to
read the resolution BY which the Senate
reilstated Mr.. Stanton, and t-en to call
over slowly the names Of those who voted
Io- it. From this he agued that all whose
names he had read lad committed them
| selves to sustain the Tenure.of0fice law,
and that the senatorial oath. under which
they then acted, wasas binding as thcir
judicial oath.
It is not known VLetle- any more
speeches win be made in secret session OF
not. It is the intention, however, OF Sen
ator Yates, if this Is done to reply to the
Argument OF his colleague. BIr. Trumbun
concerning the law q the case, and his
friends predict an eloqEent speech,

To-day at noon there will be the first
grand Garden District matinee, when Cava-
naugh's new local comic drama of the
Belle Of the Garden District will be per.
formed. The 7onmie C'Brien of Lottie
Rowland has all the frankness and gener
osity OF the real newsboy, whose highest
ambition is to be an editor. MadeIaine
Hardy as alice R0ndyHe. and Jennie Engel
As Mary Ashton, the belle of the Garden
District, render their parts most excellently;
but The character in the drama. that OF
1Hdrter Ross, the mad poet, by Cavanaugh
is unexceptonable. The play is full of
laugbable points. The newsboys' party
and the newsboys dances are good things
in their way. All the burnt cork perform
ers and the queens Of song and dance will
be OF the stage,

ister or carry out their own, which he,
Phillips, understood to mean that he woula
be assassinated: that he, Phillips, stood in
fear that his life was in danger from the
threats of the accused.
The only provOcation for these acts known
to Phillips is that Phillips is Union man
and prominent Radical Republican.
Phillips also alleged that he could not
obtain justice before the local authorities
of the parish Of Rapides, and claimed pro
lection and redress from the United States
courts udder the civil rights bill.
The accused were brought before the
Commissioner, and waving AN examination
requested that the case be sent before the
United States District Court for trial, which
request was granted, the parties giving
bonds for their own appearance and trial in
the sum Of $1,000, which they gave, j. hiadi-
son Wells being their security, and were
discharged.

washington Gossip on Impeachment.

Inc Democratic correspondent OF the st.
Louis Republican says on the twelfth:
The present plan of the impeach-
ers seems TO be to concentrate a vote
for conviction on the eleventh article,
which embraces four distinct charges, COW
ering in effect the various allegations in the
second, third, seventh, and eighth articles,
and on this they are boasting tonight that
they can get thirty.eight votes.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Commercial Advertiser says:
The Presidents friends profess to be very
confident, of aCquittal, but it is difficult to
see the basis of their hopes. Minor points
of difference on the policy of impeachment
will give way to the overmastering political
necessity for the removal of the President.
The Washington correspondent ofthe New
York Tribune says:
In well-informed circles very little doubt
is entertained of the conviction of the Pres
ident on Tuesday. His EXcellency and his
friends build on sand when they predict the
detection of six or seven Republican SEN
ators, 1t is barely possible that we may lose
three but their secession can not affect the
result,

The Dubuque Times tells story of sharp
practice. A man who had previously Dor.
rowed one hundred dollars of B., which re-
mained unpaid, went to B. and remarked
that he ives owing him, and added: Nov
if you will loan me one hundred dollars
more l will square up for both in six or
eight weeks Accordingly B. let him have
the benefit of the bankrupt act, using the
one hundred dollars for that purpose. When
tile affair was fixed according to law" he
wrote to B. that he had taken the benefit of
the act, and therefore the matter of the two
hundred dollars was settled as promised.

At late meeting of the Phelps county,
(Mo.) Democracy the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
"ReSolUed, That while'we recognize in the
Hon. Petroleum ~. Easby the true Demo-
crat and fearless patriot, and while we
acknowledge his good intentions, we would
respectfully request him to discontinue
writing letters in defense Of the Democratic
party, as we suspect that some of his efforts
are calculated to do more harm than good
in some localities
This opinion of the tendency of the efforts
of Hon. P. V. Nasby is not confined to
Phelps county but prevails also among the
Democracy of this region, by whom he is
considered unsound on every point except
orthography. In that respect he is unmis-
takabiy Democratic. .-Rochester Democrat.

St. Louis papers state that the new syss
TEN of transporting grain in bulk down the
Mississippi is rapidly superseding the old
sack system, and that grain dealers through
out the West are already seeking locations
on the river for elevators. A careful cal.
Culltion upon the expenses of Il recent
shipment from Wnona, Minnesota, via this
city to New York, demonstrates the cost to
be forty-seyen cents per bushel, which, if
shipped by the old route via Chicago, would
have cost sixty.three cents-a net advantage
of sixteen cents for the river route, the cost
Of insurance in both cases being the same.

The general peace and quiet which pre-
vailed at the recent election make bad

cold-blooded massacre Of hundreds of color

ceive such accounts of the situation Of the
"trooly loil - whites as would make it eYi-

sustained by Federal bayonets those heroic
creatures would have no other alternative
than to take the first noTthward train, or

teOus editor of the Crescent that he Is quite
mistaken. We do not long to hear Of cold.
