of Greenbacks. In the Western
States they favor these things and

difference of opinion that cannot be
healed, the Democrats of each section
being determined, the first that the is
sue shall be made, and the latter that
it shall not. With natures like these,
harmony seems next to impossible.

other man than Pend.etOn Of the

Determined efforts are being made
in the East to kill Pendletop, and ev-

moment. indeed, 1t seems as III the
whole scheme were on the point Of
failure.
Advices from Washington de-
clare that the friends of the Pregi-
dent are confident of acquittal, and
that the impeachers are By no
means sangUine Of success. If the
senators who il Is supposed win
vote against conviction were infiu-
enced bY such considerations as
those to which we have referred,
they might be reclaimed after a,
general settlement Of party affairs
at Chicago. But the recusant sem
ators are not those on whom the
aspirations Of Wade or his rivals
are apt to have any effect. Some
Of them may be controlled by one
motive, some by another, but none
by any interest in the contest for
the vice presidency st Chicago.
Hence, there is no reason To sup
pose that postponement Of tile YER
dict will strengthen the ilnpeachers.
III they cannot succeed now they
viii not be able to succeed then.
Thus far, five Of the so-called
doubtful senators have spoken, IL
we may credit the Geographic re-
ports. OF these, one only, MIR.
Sherman, will vote for conviction
at all, and his vote On that side
will be given only on the second
article. Messrs. Fessenden, Trum-
bull, Henderson and Crimes have
all declared for acquittal. These,
therefore, are certain. Mr.. Norton,
Mr. Fowler and Mr.. Van Wrinkle
may also be regarded as sure to
vote against conviction, leaving a
deficit Of only one vote to defeat
the impeachment project. 1T is
presumed this vote viii be- found
among four named senators
Messrs. Sprague, Anthony, Willy
and Ross. This estimate is based
on the superstition that Mr.. Wade
is present and votes for conviction.
If he should absent himself there
will be- only ffty-three votes, and
eighteen will suffice for acquitbal
that is to say seven Republicans in
addition tt66 ttAEe eleven Democrats.

ance, The board of officers con-
stituted by Gen. Buchanan to re-
port upon the returns Of the cleo

when it is known that even among

The Impeachment I'LL.

Inc Impeachment lR1aHs
The vote on the impeachment
articles was not taken Tuesday.
The illness of Senator Howard is
stated to be the reason for this
postponement. If the impeachers
had felt secure of carrying their
point without Mn. Howard, and if
there were no other reason for
delay, they would certainly have
pressed the matter to a vote at
once. The adjournment of the
decision is, therefore, an admis-
sion Of weakness, which, If not
equivalent to surrender, is, atleast
a retreat from the threatening and
arrogant position which the inn
peaching party has, hitherto, occu-
pied. It is supposed id some quar-
tiers that this pretext for delay was
gladly welcomed by the radicals
in order that solution Of the
collateral problems involved in
the impeachment question, as to
its connection with party move
ments, may be reached in advance
of the final verdict. The struggle
at Chicago will be waged for the
vice presidency. Almost all Of the
amDlGlous asplrants among the
Republicans are now competing
for the second office, since the
first has been SO deeply mort
gagged to Grant that it is no longer
In the market. Fenton, Curtin
Colfax, Buckingham and Bullock
are all candidates for the vice
presidency all Of them have
friends and partisans, and all Of
them fear that the elevation Of
Wade to the presidential chair
would enable that gentleman to
control the convention in his own
interest. It is suspected that rival
'ies and apprehensions Of this kind
nave a marked influence on the
conduct of the Senate. If the
settlement Of the impeachment
controversy be delayed until after
5he Chicago Convention, this ele-
nent of discord and OF weakness
will be removed and il Wade be
hen defeated for the nomination
ie MAY safely be trusted with with a
patronage of the executive depart
nent. This Is the argument used
~ those persons who suppose
hat the impeachers have decided
q adjourn the verdict until after
lle Republican nominations are
made. But this view III the case

r. a. Burns was drowned day before

Mr.. Burns was Republican, chair
man of the board of Registrars, and
was formerly first Lieutenant in the
First Indiana Artillery. The life of Mr..
Burns was threatened by the rebels Of
Calcasieu Parish some time since. and
there are reasons to fear that his death
was not altogether accidental
Such an article speaks for itself !;
and we feel an aversion to COM
ment at all upon it; for we coaldnot

however justly merited, we do not
like to use or bear used. But,
leaving common honesty and de-
cenoy aside, Of which two virtues
we do not accuse the Republican,
in the name Of common sense what
IS there in the above dispatch,
quoted BY the Republican, to lead
any. sound, unbiased mind to IN
fer, that there has been foul play +?
We will add further, that We do
not believe the Republican has
ever heard, probably never thought |
before, that MI. Burns life, III this
Parish, was ever IN danger, and
ms outpoWing of his, unjust as it |
$ mendaeious, originated IN his
