DREACHMENT--CoNvICTIoS ALLEGED TO BE
| CERTAN-A BOLD BET-THE WADE CABINET
| WARD AND CHANDLER-GRANT TO BE THROWN
OVERHEARD By THE CHICAGO coNVENTIoN-
APATHY OF DEMOCRATS IN REGARD TO DPEAcH-
lENT.
The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Gazette writes under date Of Sunday
night:
Impeachment absorbs all other questions. 1t
| is admitted to be fixed fact, the only question
| being when will Johnson be put out and wade
be put in?
On this point no day certain is fixed, but it
is to be accomplished, executed and over be-
fore the meeting Of the Chicago Convention,
on the goth OF May.
1t is said to-day, however, that q Michigan
Senator offered yesterday to ber SlO0,0Oo That
johnson would be out cefore next Saturday:
Quick work, indeed; but this 'blood-lettlng,
| Senator is the advance guard OF the Radical
Senate, and knows that the High Court OF I'M
peachment, like the conspiracy tribunal, IS "or-
| ganiZed to convict"
The state of the new Wade Cabinet, as lar as
made out this afternoon, is as follows: Stanton
is to remain Secretary of War: Schuyler Coltax,
to be Secretary OF State; Daniel E. Sickles, Sec
retary of the Navy; Eben B. Ward, Secretary
of the Treasury, and E. B. Washburne, Secre-
tary of the Interior; names familiar to the pub
| lie, except that Of Ward, who has never been IN
public life. He is one of the s'sohd" men OF
Detroit lIichigan-was for years the steam
boat king of the Lakes, before western railroads
we're built, and whel the great tide Of travel
passed from Buffalo up the Lakes 10 Chicago
and Milwaukee. He is now heavy railroad
operator and proprietor OF extensive mining
interests in the Upper Peninsula Of Michigan,
on Lake Superior. Ward is q high protection
ist in tariff matters.
With the incoming executive in his pochet.
and Ward at the head Of the treasury as Ills
bosom friend, the Senator from Michigan,
Zack Chandler, will run the machine With
full head Of steam. With Chandler i'll full
possession Of the Executive and Treasury De-
partments. when the Chicago Convention IS
| held Grant is to be thrown aside, as any noml-
nee can then be elected.
| The indifference Of Democrats as to tho re-
suit Of the impeachment trial is remarkable
feature of present public opinion. As matter
of principle, Of right and justice, they insist
and demand that the trial shall be conducted
with strict impartiality and judicial purity, but
so far as the result will affect Johnson per-
sonally, there is general apathy. The, regard
him as having brought all his troubles Oh
himself as the originator OF negro suffrage In
| the South, and remember how, when Pro
visional- Governor OF Tennessee, ne prevented
| Democratic meetings.
II is not the purpose Of the Presidents coun-
| sci to even seemingly dodge any issue Of TACT
or law presented by the managers on the part
of the House Of Representatives They have
stated 1t to be the wish Of the President, as it
| tion involved-nor will they attempt in any
manner, whatever to delay or protract the in
yestigation. They declare it to be the inten-
ton Of the defence to act In good faith in all
respects, and to move straightforward to
conclusion of the trial as speedily as ! proper
regard for justice will permit.
GENERAL HANcocK's ASSIGNMENT TO WASHING
ToN-THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT ASD THE
RIGHTS OF NATURALIzED CITIZENS
NEW TREATY-LEaIsLATIyE BUSINESS DURING
THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun writes under date Of Sunday night:
The assignment Of General Hancock to the
command of the new department OF the Allan
tic has caused quite futter in Radical circles
and given a new impetus to the munchausen
manufacturers who 30 abound in this city. All
sorts of improbable statements are being sent
off as to the design of the President in this
movement, and it has been deemed of sufficient
! importance to call forth resolution Of inquiry
ecutive for his action in the premises. AS be-
fore mentioned in this correspondence, the au-
| thority of the Executive to create military
| departments is under his general powers as
the constitutional commander-in-chief, and
has been invariably exercised from the founda-
| ton of the government until now without any
question Of his right 30 to do being raised.
The State department has been recently in
correspondence with the British Government,
with view to forming treaty recognizing
the rights of naturalized American citizens,
and fixing definitely the law of expatration,
which has so long been an open question be-
tween the two governments From the tenor
of the latest official dispatches received from
the British ministry, there does not appear to
be the slightest doubt that the admins
tration will succeed in bringing the yexatious
and sometimes threatening controversy to o
successful termination in q few weeks.
| The treaty, as it now seems to be shaping,
! will partake Of the character and features of
the treaty Just concluded between the United
States and the North German Confederation.
| In consequence Of the anticipation that little
| if any business will be transacted by the
House during the progress of the lmpeach-
| ment trial, a large number OF members have
left for their respective homes to look after
private business and engineer for renomna--
ton.
MORMON REPRESENTATION.
The committee on elections have virtually
decided the Utah delegate case Mr.. Hooper
will lose his seat on the general ground that
siormons are organized into community hos
tile to the government Of the country. In the
tec.lmony which was taken this morning in
the case, it was proved that Hooper is an elder
in the Mormon church, and that all such Off
GERS are obliged to take what is termed the en-
dowment oath. Afidavits were read of men
who had taken the oath, to the effect that it
required those who took it to hate the United
States Government, to do all in their power to
overthrow it, to teach this sentiment to their
children and impress it on their dying BEDS
Mr.. Hooper was given chance by the com.
mittee to state he lad never taken the oath, if
such was the fact, but he declined. Mr.. Chan
dler Of New Ynrk has been selected to draw up
the report, and he is known 10 favor the up
