NEW York, May 2S.-The Herald's
Washington dispatch says if the President
is convicted Tuesday, bin will be intro
duced for such recOnstruetion of the Su-
preme Court as will get rid Of Chief JUS
tiee Chase, and, under the rule Of Ben
Wade, place Stanton at the head Of the
highest Judiciary tribunal. The same dis
patch states that Senator Fowler. of Ten
nessee, filed his opinion upon the eleven
articles of impeachment Thursday. 1t is
quite lengthy, covering about Fifty pages of
legal cap paper, about half OF which is de-
voted TO the FIRST article, and the argument
against the second article occupies about
eleven pages more. The paper is very
ably prepared, and presents an overwhelm-
ing array of the most powerful arguments
against every article of the list. The filing
of this opinion leaves only Senator Ross, OF
the seven Republicans, required to defeat
conviction, uncOmmitted on the remaining
ten articles. e,...t .-..5 ~ !.
