THE Washington correspondent OF
the Tribune says that last Friday SEN
ator Wiley promised member of the
House, zone of his most intimate
friends" (Mr. Hubbard, we take the
liberty OF presumiDg,) Chat he would
vote for conviction on the Ist and XIth
Articles, and that he might be able to
vote for the lind, but that he could not
go for conviction on the With" The
correspondent adds:
"Mr. Wiley said TO his colleague
that if the President is not convicted
on the articles he had mentioned he
would resign his position as soon as
the Legislature of his State should
meet. Mr.. Wiley exhibited an opin-
ion in favor of conviction to number
of Senators few days ago."

WE find in various correspondence
the same statement we made yester-
day, that Senator Van Wrinkle had dis
tinctly and positively pledged himself
to vote for the XIth Article. at the
direct suggestion OF the Chief Justice,
as he himself informed his colleague,
he voted against it. We are inclined
to think he SO voted because in carry
ing out a previously concerted arrange
ment, it was necessary for him so to
vote in order to defeat the article. In
either case it savors strongly of the
thing mildly called prevarication,
which at one time we could not have
believed the Honorable Senator" ca
pable of. Under such circumstances
how vain for him to try to shield him
self behind his "oath."

THE excitement at Washington,
growing out of impeachment has ta-
ken a new turn. The House on Satur-
day, on motion of Hon. John A. Bing-
ham, gave the Impeachment Managers
full power to investigate charges of al
legged corruption on the part OF Sena-
tors. Previously the Managers had
made a preliminary investigation, and
we may be sure that when Mr.. Bing-
ham wentinto the House and asked for
power in this connection, he very we'll
knew what he was doing. That there
has been corruption no one can doubt
in the face of the facts known; but
whether this can be proven remains to
be seen. The country will await the
result with no less interest than that
which attended the Impeachment trial.

FROM WASHINGTON.

NEw YoRK, March G.
A Times Washington special says full re-
turns from the Alabama election have not
yet been received at army headquarters,
though there is no doubt that the Constitu-
ton is lost. It appears from the records that
Gen. Pope originally ordered the election TO
be for but two days, and that the change to
four days was made by Gen. Meade. in ae-
cordanee with the direct suggestions of Gen.
Grant.
The Tri6tires Washington despatch says
the President makes it known tonight that
he has at last turned his attention TO his de-
fense. On that subject be says: II have so
far only one gentleman retained, namely, Mr..
David Dudley Field, of New York, but
have written and telegraphed TO several 9TH
ers, namely, Vim. NJ. Eyarts, w. Groesbeck,
and others, but | have not received replies
from them.
Chief Justice Chase entertains no intention
Of protractng the impeachment trial. The
Senate Committee Of Managers, ii is under>
stood, have agreed that il is the duty of Mr.,
Chase TO decide on the hdmissabili,y Of Mr..
Wade, and that he will be called on SO to
act. The friends of the President argue that
the trial will not be finished during The next
four or FIVE months. Mr.. Stanbery was Gloss
eted with the President several hours yester-

NEW YoRK, March c.
The Iiribune's special from New Orleans,
5th, says: The Republican State Committee
in a meeting passed the following resolutions;
Resoired, That We are in full sympathy
with Congress in liz efforts to enfore the laws,
and to compel public officers, even the Pres
ident himself, to obey them that the cheers
which were given for jefferson Dasis, and
the simultaneous recognition Of General
Hancock, BY the rdbel fire companies yester-
day, were insulting to the flag of our country
and TO the gallant soldiers who fought to de-
tend il; that we recommend 10 Congress and
to General Grant the immediate removal Of
General Hancock, and that we regard the
cheers for him and JeiF. Davis, by the same
men, as q sufficient cause for removal.
General Hancock and Jefferson Dayiswere
eeer in the same carriage 10 night.
The Democratic State Convention met to-
day. General Staadman made violent
speech, sustaining Mr.. johnson and indieat-
ing force as the only means Of resistance to
Congress.
