NEW York, May %,
This is one OF the few really seasonable
days we have had since midwinter, Il Is
an exquisite morning-flll Of that quiet,
all-permeating sunshine which makes a
May morning the pleasantest of any for
gardening, marketing, shipping, idling,
castlc-building, or travelling, On the
river it is delightful. The air is 50 clear
you can count the people on the boats
away off towards the SYPHILIS Cave coming
up from the salty sea in the glorious sun
shine; and the vessels, as you pass them
seem to stand out spar by spar, and rope
by rope, sharply cut against the bright
cloudless sky. Now ethereal mildncss
has come at last but there is a peculiar
warmth about the mildncss to-day that
portends clearly heated term Now in
the long winter Of our discomfort about
to be made glorious summer, pray that
the good earth may smile with rich har-
vests, and that in no part where men live
shall there be heard during this year the
cry of the starving. Now come TO US
first of the wild flowers, the bright mosa-
les that with storicd beauty tasselate the
floor Of Natures temple.
Floral apostles that in dcwy splenior
Weep without me and blush without crime.
They are welcomed lovingly by tho
denizens Of those mural wastes who haze so
long yearned for their coming; and 20 where
you will, when twilight comes and the days
work is over, you will see acres Of bright
flowers, in motion, decking the bosom OF
the bright-eyed maiden, gemming her
hair or flashing in the early gaSlight A.
She breathes their fragrance Then the
swallows have come, too. The first swal-
ow visited us three or four weeks ago,
but he received no notice. Now he Is
back again with hundreds Of his kindred,
md right merry time they have.
Il seems wrong-at least it does vio-
ence to ones feelings-to turn from
birds and flowers to politics and crimes,
out the faithful historian must not choose
from among the thousands of subjects
which present themselves every day only
hose which please himself, He must
,hronicle with fidelity the events Of the
lay, These are not all pleasing.
Impeachment is dead, and even the
most radical Radicals seem relieved at the
termination Of the trial. The vote ON the
eleventh article was felt to prefgurc that
On all other, and yesterdays proceedings,
therefore, created no sensation, The
Democrats are highly elated, Of course,
and augur grand Democratic success in
November as an effect Of what they call
the persecution Of the President. The in
terest now centers in the unfortunatcs
who have been accused OF giving and re-
ceiying brides.

The secret leaked ont late last night,
but no paper in New York dared to pub
lish the facts, They are substantially as
follows:
When the impeachment trial was near
ly over, Manager Butler received dis
patch from New York informing him that
kilograms were passing between
Washington and New York and other
cities, having reference to the Presidents
affair with Congress Immediately after
wards he was furnished with copies Of
those kilograms, and with full notes re-
garding the time when they were received,
the persons who received them, etc, etc.
On the night when the most important
(or seemingly important kilograms were
sent, the room adjoining the telegraph
office of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, in this city, was occupied by
Aleck Lewis, special revenue agent
Marcus Cicero Stanley, well known in
local circles AS a patriot of the Roman or
der, Mr. Orion, the President of the Tele-
graph Company. Every telegram that
passed the wires Of that line on that eve
nng was read and recorded and Mr.
Butler was at once in possession Of all th'
facts 20 called, which Jed to the rccen
investigation Wherever this fact ha
become known, the Indignation agains
these men, particularly against the Presi
dent Of the line, has been intense ant
the probability is that he will be forced t,
resign his position, and perhaps be sub
Jccted to " unpleasantne>s."
On sunday last, the Neptune Steamship
Company's fine propeller, the Oce0Hus
was totally destroyed at her pier, on tn,
North River. The pier was also dcs
troyed The total loss was about $3.50,
600, of which all but 100000 is covered
by insurance.
On the day before, Michael Neville wa,
shot by Michael 0'Sullivan at lO2 Heste,
street, in distillery. Neville was acting
as peacemaker between two quarrel
some, and of course, drunken men, when
O'Sullivan shot him.
The villain Myers, against whom twelve
distinct charges had been presented in the
Essex Market Police Court, for swindling
poor working men, was yesterday SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for six years
There are men within a hundred miles OF
New York city, who will wager that NV
ers will be pardoned before the end Of the
sixth month. They think the name will
have something to do with it, The noto-
rious Sophia Meyer, who for nine years
swindled working girls, snapped her fin
