CoercinR the Verdict.

The indications this morning are that
the estimate which we placed yesterday
upon the probity and firmness of GER
tain Republican Senators may have
been too high. When we consider how
freely the charge of bribery aud corrup-
tion is brought by radical bed-fellows,
how swift they are to accuse each other
of venalig,it is not strange that an hon
est man should conclude that the whole
set is purchasable alike. If radical
Senator announces any independence Of
views, any disposition TO obey the right
and revere the sanctity of his oath. it il
only because he wishes to receive Q
price for the prostitution which he in
tends. His fellows first accuse him Of
being bribed to discharge his sworn
duty, and then offer him inducements
to come back and embrace the wrong
Such thing as moral honesty, doing
right for the sake of the right, ebeying
the law because it is the law and they
have sworn to regard it, is unheard Of
and unknown among the chiefs of the
present revolution.
The Senate of the United States, sitting
asa Court of Impeachment, is the high.
est judicial tribunal known to the law.
The duty of each Senator to decide &C
cording to the law and the evidence il
the plainest as well as the most solemn
duty pertaining to his judicial Charac:
ter He has no moral right to consult
bis own prejud ices or be swayed by his
PERSONAL interests. His friends, W beth.
er political or perso nal, have no right
10 attempt in any way to influence his de.
eIslon or frighten or persuade him from
rendering such verdict as the law and
tne testimony demand. If he be an
honest mas, he will steel his heart
against all selfish motives and stop his
ears to the entreaties of friends or the
threats of foes; and will spurn from hi'
Presence the unprincipled knaye who
uares approach him with the expectation
0i diverting him from the path of duty
Snd liking upon his honor an indelible
Stain. 2 ~

Some of the Washington correspond.
ents of the Western papers are very
vivid in their descriptions of the ap.
pearance, manners and dress of the i'm.
peachment Congressman who have re.
Gently been figuring so prominently.
The latest of these our eye has fallen
upon is a sketch of Mr.. bingham, and
the clothes he wore at the time of his
speech. "Judge Bingham" we are
told, discarded his historic brswn coat
and transferred the black velvet collar
thereof TO long black cloth coat, which,
buttoned before, enwrapped him from
the breastbone TO below the knees This
was the second appearance of the black
coat, the first having been on the occa.
sion of the Managers going to the pho
tographers. A pair of square toed boots,
we'll blackened, standing collar and a
stock and black breeches completed Mr..
Bingham's exterior" Now, imagine
the honorable gentleman's head and
face surmounting this picturesque cos.
tune, and you will have precise idea
of his appearance.

The Radical ce-Presidency-Oper
tions Of Mr. Wade's Frieuds-The
Chances for the Nom nation.

From n Y Times Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Monday, May II, lo65.
The result of impeachment being
conceded to be conviction, Mr. Wade =
friends are doing what in commercial
parlance is denominated selling short"
that is, they are contracting to de-
liver offices which are not yet in their
possession. How they will manage TO
settle their differences in case they are
not able to deliver, remains to be seen.
But their promises are budding faster
than the blossoms during this cold
Spring weather, and the traffic Is all
with an eye to the Chicago Convention.
The lobby for Mr.. Wade, with the great
power of patronage really belonging to
the next President, will 60 up to CHI
cago, hang its banners Oh the outer
walls, and proclaim that whoever is
for sale need only fix his price,
and the only condition shall be
fealty to Vice-President Wade.
There is an assumed confidence about
the advocates of Mr.. Wade which re-
miEds me of the confidence assumed by
the friends of the President on the i'm
p p,achment. They seem to be certain
of success, but can't give any plausible
reason for the faith that is in them.
There is great deal of talk among
them, but there is also great lack of
votes. Beyond Ohio, the only great
States that have declared for Wade are
Delaware and Nebraska. Pennsylva-
MIA is for sale, as she always is, and Mr..
Wade will probably get good share of
her delegates, but not all. There is not
a vote for Wade in New England, nor
in New Jersey, nor in the northeast be-
yond Nebraska, and yet his advocates
pretend he is clear ahead of everybody
else. The first ballot at Chicago, If
things do rot change, will open their
eyes to the fact that Wade is not the
strongest man; The nomination, from
indications here, Is far more likely to
be given to Schuyler COlfax, or if not
IN him. then to Henry Wilson,

What does such a streng Republican
paper as the Chicago Tribune mean by
permitting to appear in its columns the
following question ond answer: "Who
were the people at the Baltimore Con-
vention who inflicted his insuppOrtable
mediocrity (Johnson's) upon the Execu-
tive officei II rumor be not telling
lies, they are those most forward to-day
to give the country Mr.. Johnson's twin
Dromio, and tie around the neck of
General Grant burden heavier than
even soldier cares to carry" Pray
who does the Tribune refer to as "Jokn-
sons twin Dromio'" The connection
makes it appear as though Grant was
meant, but as that would be perfectly
absurd it Wadei

WE Judge that some members Of Con-
gress would feel utterly dispirited ifthe
Senate should throw doubt on the fact
that our glorious country has produced
the "greatest criminal Of this or any other
age" as Mr.. Logan styles an individual
who was once Mayor of the town OF
Greenville, who subsequently became
Governor of Tennessee, then United
States Senator, and finally reached a
still more elevated position. AS our
happy country has already the tallest
mountains, the longest rivers, the big
pest iackasses, the londest ranters and
the highest waterfalls, it is but proper
that we should possess the greatest
criminal. 1t would round off things
nicely, and would make fine point for
orators in their 4th of July orations.
Stevens showed that our great American
criminal was far worse than Judas Is
cariot-but the language he used was
shocking that we are unable to quote 1t.
boutwell, showed that he was worse than
the monster Caius Verres; Logan showed
he was worse than Caligula or Nero;
and other members showed he was
worse than Henry Will, Charles l., or
James III. AS these names comprise
about the entire list of"great criminals"
known to ordinary Congressman, and
as our great American criminal Is worse
than any of them-worse even than all
of them rolled into one unspeakable hu-
man monstrosity-it follows that the
great Republic is now ahead of the
world in this particular as 1t formerly
was in all others. Happy country
which so easily snrpasses all rivals.
Happy countryi which is never lacking
in great and learned orators to remind
us of the pride inspiring fact!

Northern New Hampshire was visited
with a pretty heavy fall of snow yes
terday. The mountains and high hills
we're covered with a thick white coat,
which, added to the old snow which re-
mained on many of them, gave the
country the look of November, rather
than May. The season seems to be
quite backward, and, what will surprise
our readers in this vicinity has been
dry as we'll as cold. This is the general
complaint along the line of the Con-
Cord and Montreal Railroad. The Mer-
rimack is by no means full, and the
Pemigewasset has been SO low as to OBJ
struct numbering operations materially.

Wendell Phillips has given notice that
the Convention will be required to en-
graft negro suffrage upon the platform
of the party; and the German Radicals
make no secret of their purpose to press
their views upon the Convention. Both
the Phillips faction and the Missouri
Germans proclaim an intention not to
accept the nomination of Grant apart
from thoroughly Radical platform;
and both will go to Chicago prepared
to coalesce with other extremists for
the promotion of the common object.

The Extremists and the Chicago Con
Vention.

From the n. Y. Times, Republican,
Mr. Forney communicates to the
Philadelphia Press, as an understood
thing, "thLt no Republican who opposes
| the conviction Of Andrew johnson will
be allowed seat in the Republican
Convention at Chicago" In other
words, the Republican who doubts the
expediency of impeachment, or denies
the sut1iciency of the testimony ad.
duced as the groundwork of Mr.. John
sons removal, is to be read out of the
party.
We have had signs on this subject be-
fore. The unblushing avowal that con,
viction is n party necessity, whether
warranted by law and evidence or not,
and the persistent effort to bully Sell
ators into conviction by holding u7
"infamy" as the penalty of acquittal,
have clearly revealed the recklcssness
and tyranny which aspire to the con-
troll of the Republican party The dis
position has been growing some time.
Formerly, it was enough that men sub
seribed to the declared policy of the
party and worked according to the best
of their judgment for the attainment OF
its ends. More recently, other tests OF
fealty have been invented. Adhesion to
regularly authorized platforms has been
declared insufficient, and mans re.
publicanism has been suspected and de-
MED unless he hurrahed for every meas
ure which Radical members of the par
ty introduced into Congress. 1t has
become necessary to swear by Stevens,
and pin ones faith to the sleeve OF
Boutwell, or Butler to escape excOmmu.
nication as a hsretic and traitor.
In pursuance of the same intolerant
plan, it is intended, Mr.. Forney de-
clares, to exalt impeachment into the
party test of orthodoxy. Before obtain.
ing admission to the Chicago COnven-
zion, delegates must hold up their right
hands and vsw that they favored John
sons official decapitation, with evidence
or without it, in conformity with law or
insPite of it.
