How STANTON RECEIVED THE
NEWS.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial says under date
of the 10th instant
There is great curiosity TO see what
effect the vote Of to-day will have on Stan
ton and whether he will prepare to resign
in anticipation Of like action on the other
articles. The general opinion however is,
that he will resign. When the news Of
the vote on the eleventh article reached
the War Department, this afternoon, Mr.
Stanton was seated quietly in his private
office He glanced over the lisa Of Senators
voting for conviction, but scrutinized the
acauittal list very closely. Aiter satisfying
himself that conviction had been defeated
on this article. he laid the paper aside. and
without making = single observation on
the result resumed his regular official du-
ties. Il was evident, however, that he was
greatly disappointed, but he declined to
converse on the subject"
This correspondent thinks acquittal
viii be followed by Mr. StantOn's with
drawal, but he viii not withdraw until
his frieads SO advise.

"ALL Is NOT LOST. /.

On the 10Th inst the Radical Repre-
sentatives in Congress from Missouri adj
dressed note to Senator Henderson
urging him to withhold his vote upon
any article upon which be could not vote
alhrmatively, and assuring him that this
request was made because they believed
1.-THE safety Of the loyal people Of the
United States demands the immediate
removal Of Andrew johnson from the
Office Of President Of the United States
These men, who thus plead with Mr.
Henderson TO shirk plain and impera>
tive duty, that the Radical party might
be benefited, now that impeachment has
received what all regard as its death
blow, have issued brief address to the
people Of Missouri, in which they say
"Impeaahment has failed on one article,
and the final result il in doubt; bat tile
canse Of loyalty, freedom and right has not
failed, nor is it in doubt. The country
looks anxiously to the patriots who stood
by it in war TO be firm TO advance the Union
standard TO the front. Organize instantly
and thoroughly. Trust no doubtful men.
You can thus help to convert disaster into
victory, and can bring glory out of MissOu-
ri's humiliation
After assuring Senator Henderson that
his vote for conviction was necessary to
the safety of the loyal people" these
reckless falsifers turn round and assure
the people of Missouri that "the cause
of loyalty, freedom and right has not
failed, nor is it in doubt" If the Radi-
Gals of Missouri have any self-respect
they viii drive these conspirators into an
ignobIe retiracy.

II
which the following proposition, SUBJ
mitted by Mr. Samuel Watson, was
adopted .....,
Whereas The State of Tennessee has an
| opportunity of procuring a loan, on six
months time, TO buy the bonds of Tennessee
to the amount of two millions Of dollars
and, whereas, the purchase of bonds al the
present market rates would save the State
| upwards of 100000 in every million Of
dollars purchased, and would probably
| save the State considerable sum annually
in interest, and would certainly increase
the market value of the bonds of the State;
| therefore,
Be it resolved, That it is to the interest
of the State to purchase Immediately one
million dollars of its bonds, to be paid for
by the issuance of gold-bearing bonds, at a
rate of interest not exceeding seven per
cent, provided the purchase can be made
at snch price as will certainly reduce the
| debt of the State. la-
Resolved, In order to relieve the present
pressure upon the Treasury, and in order
TO enable the Treasury to meet the wants
Of common schools, Il Is the interest of the
State to sell an aptjunt Of gold-bearing
bonds sufficient to pay the balance now
owing the Fourth National Bank of New
York, and sufficient to pay the amount of
interest maturing in July next that the
railroads may be unable to pay; provided
that such bonds can be negotiated at par,
at rate of interest not exceeding that
authorized by the act creating the Board
of Finance.
Resolved, That an agent shall be APP
pointed by this board, out of its own MEM
bers, to proceed to New York and other
points, with authority 10 carry into effect
the provisions of the above resolutions, to
attend to the financial interests Of the State
at those points; and that this agent shall
also have the authority to advance the
credit of the State by publishing through
the press, and by visiting in person bond
holders and others interested in the State of
Tennessee. The expense Of this agency TO
be paid for by the board, but no compen-
sation for time given or services rendered
by him to be allowed.
John r. Henry, Samuel Watson, and
Gov Brownlow, represented by MIR. Wat
son as poxy, voted for the proposition,
and Secretary Fletcher and Comptroller
Blackburn voted against the measure.
After the adoption of this proposition,
Messrs. Fletcher and Blackburn resigned

ELECTION FRAUDS IN GEORGIA

The Macon Journal gnd Messenger re-
ports the following, which is but a speci-
men of the frauds committed by the mill
tary authorities in Georgia in order to give
the Radicals control Of that State:
We heard, yesterday, of a decision by
which the Democratic Senator elect from
the thirtieth district, composed of the
counties of Madison, Oglethorpe and FL
bert, was ousted and his place given to his
scalawag opponent Jim McWhorter For
the benefit Of gentlemen engaged in SINH
lar business elsewhere, but who have not
been favored, like Hubert, with such
special aptness for manipulating election
returns to suit the wishes of their employ
ers, We give the mOduS operdndi.
Msttox, Democrat, from the district
aforesaid, was elected by small majority,
twenty, perhaps, and so the returns sent to
Hubert showed. His opponent failing in
all other measures to defeat the wishes of
the people, and get the seat, got lot of
negroes to make an affidavit that they had
voted for Gordon, while intending to vote
for Bullock. This document was laid be-
fore Hubert, and upon its authority he
throws out Mattox's majority, and declares
McWhorter elected Comment upon this
chef G@ure of Radical rascality would be
like gliding refined gold, or painting the
lily, and we therefore make none.

ExCOMMUNICATION THREATENED.

1t is stated that the impeachers in their
rage at the defeat Of their scheme Of
destroying the government, declare that
Chief Justice Chase and Senators Trum~
hull, Ross, Fessenden, Grimes, and other
recusants must be ruled cut of the party

The city is filled with speculations

Senator'S Grimes, Fessenden, Trumbull,
Henderson, Van Wrinkle, Fowler and Ross,
out Of the party, by name, including, also,
Mr.. Chase.
at Is held by the Democrats that if this
is done these men will fly to their standard,
and unite with them in their convention
at New York; that in such an event Mr..
Chase will be the nominee, and that az
against General Grant, they will sweep the
Middle, New England, and Western States
at the November election. Mr.. Chase is
said To- favor the movement"
