WASHINGTON, May 15.-House.-The Lett
ter Of the Missouri delegation to Senator
Henderson was up as o question of priyl-
lege. Several Missouri representatives said
the letter was written and the interview
obtained ut the instance of Henderson.
Considerable excitement ensued, but the
Speaker deciding that it was not o question
of privilege, and several members Directing
to its present consideration, the House pro-
ceeded with the regular order of business.
Mr.. Wilson was proceeding to explain o
private bill, when
Mr.. Woodward, of Pennsylvania, who
was the author Of the resolution censu-
ring the Missouri delegation for writing
the letter to Henderson, said he desired to
know what the gentleman of Missouri (Mr.
Pike), who was near him, meant by distort-
ing his face. He was not accustomed to
being talked to by grimaces and cabalistic
signs.
The Speaker raped the House to order,
and asked for what purpose the gentleman
from Pennsylvania arose. If it was ques--
ton of order, the gentleman from Missouri
could be taken off the floor, but not other
wise.
Mr.. Woodward desired to know what the
signs and facial contortions of the gentle
man from Missouri (Mr. Pike meant. The
manner in which they were made was more
betting the Five Points than this hall.
The Speaker reminded Mr.. Woodward
that the last remark was not in order.
Mr.. Woodward, resuming, said the gen
tleman from Missouri had come towards
him making cabalistic signs Of this style
Quitting his thumb to his nose and gyra-
ting his fngers), and he could not under
stand that language.
Mr.. Pike disclaimed any intention OF in
sulting the gentleman.
Mr.. Woodward said as the gentleman be-
longed to the party that claimed to pos
sess oil the morality of the country ferries
| of order on the Republican sidel he wanted
to know what the signs meant.
Mr.. Myers, of Pennsylvania, wanted to
| know if the remarks of his colleague would
90 into the Globe, uttered as they we're, out
of order.
The Speaker said the gentleman had
risen TO o question of order, and his remarks
would go in the Globe.
Private bills were then resumed, and the
House adjourned.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The sick sena-

There are 10 new impeachment develop

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Euening. -Ultl-

Offsetting the meetings and resolutions
which have been published, are very
many private dispatches to uncommitted
senator's from home sources urging them TO
net according to their consciences, and as
curing them that the impeachment furore is
artificial.
In replying to the Missouri delegation,
Senator Henderson appears to have SAID
that conviction would have failed without,
and could not have been secured with, his
vote. In his opinion, the second article
would have been defeated by two and the
eleventh article by four votes.

THE pREsIDEsT WILL De ACQUITTED II THE
FINAL VOTE IsTAKEN T0-AoRRow.
WAsHNGTos, May Is IS conceded by
al parties tonight that if She vote be taken
on the impeachment trial tomorrow the
President viii be acquitted. The only.
question about which there appears to be
o difference of opinion is whether the
Senate will tomorrow take the final vote,
or postpone further action until another.
dsy. The general belief is that the final
vote viii be had tomorrow, as most Of the.
leading Radicals say that it would be inju-
rious to the Republican party to postpone q
verdict, no matter whether It be for acquit-
tai or conviction.
THE RADICALS DETERMINED THAT VOTE
SHALL BE TAKEN TO-MoRRowsENAToR
HOWARD TO BE CARRIED TO TIE SENATE
ON a LITTER. .s.s
A caucus Of Radical senators who favor
impeachment, including Mr.. Wade, con-
sidered the matter this afternoon, and
again this evening, and it is reported that
they determined that vote must be taken
tomorrow.
Senator Howard, who is yet quite i'll, is
to be brought to the Senate upon a Litter
borne by four men. Senator'S Grimes and
Conkling have sufficiently recovered to
warrant their presence in the Senate cham
Der, so that it is probable there viii be o
full Senate when the vote is taken.
THE PROBABLE VOTE.
The estimate heretofore made in these
dispatches as to the number that will vote
for acquittal is now generally adopted.
Some Of the Radicals say, though, that there
will be but thirty four votes for conviction
upon any one article. Others admit there
will be only thirty-two votes of that char
acter.
