A Card from, Mr.. weed.

In explanation of the propositions made
), myself have just this to say: IL q
senator Pomeroy either intended to dis
.oss Of three votes Including his own). or
l. was willing that his friends should use
bis name to make money; or, as some be-
i;eve, there was conspiracy between But
isr and Pomeroy to impiicate. the President,
Inns obtaining new material for ,impeach-
WV NV reasons for this belief are that seye-
~ months since, Mr.. Leggets, AN intimate
sr;epd Of Senator Posneroy, wanted the ap-
nn;ntment Of postmaster at LeaFenworth,
Kansas. He was supported by Pomeroy.
tho wrote letter, which was shown 10
.hr Postmaster General, promising his
'Spomeroy's) vote for Presidential confrma-
,;nn and his influence against impeaeh-
ment. The Postmaster-Gener was fur
nished with a copy Of Senator Pomeroy's
letter copied from the original in his pos
ssssion), and Leggett received a postal
.rencv. Some few weeks ago, Leggeft ap-
Gears before Colonel Cooper with d letter
rom Senator Pomeroy saying that he would
carry ont, in good faith, any arrange-
neptsn made with Mr.. Gaylord who Is
Pomeroy's brother-in-law; whereupon Leg
pstt and Gaylord undertake, for money, "a
ebtain the votes Of Senators Pomeroy, Nye,
and Tipton. I did not believe that Sena-
tors I'VE and Upton had authorized this
arrangement" nor did I believe that
either of them would vote against the COM
r;ction of the President. But I did and do
believe that Senator Pomeroy baited the
hooks with which his friend Leggett and his
bro,her-in-law Gaylord fshed. Whether
thew caught anything or NOT, I am unable
TO say. Nothing, certainly, from me, or
with my consent. 5 ssEya rs II
If it were not necessary that / should
avoid both labor and thought, I should re-
ply, fttingly, to an offensive personal
rejection Of General Butler, and reply also
70 one or two other assailants. General
Butler, aware Of the bitterness Of feeling
entertained by Radical leaders and Radical
presses against me, chose TO avail himself
Of that feeling to staye off action, upon the
articles of impeachment. IF he is satisfied
with the result Of his coup d'etat, am con-
tent. THURLow WEED. j
