CHICAGO, May 5.-Specials confirm the re-
port that Fessenden has written an argument,
setting forth his views in opposition to the
Presidents removal. One account says it is
in opposition to the conviction on the stanton
removal, holding that the Presidents disregard
of the statute was for the simple purpose OF
having it tested before the courts. This does
not constitute claims of sufficient magnitude to
justify impeachment. The whole subject of
the final verdict has been much canyassed to-
day. Some of the Senators pronounce Bing-
hams argument "twaddle," which is Supposed
to indicate that they are unfavorable to iln-
parchment. Fessenden has himself confessed
that ne is preparing an opinion on the first
three articles. lie does not deny that he will
vote for acquittal on each of these, and seems
to think that the other articles are not worth
much prominence. The result of the trial is
in great measure IN the hands Of Fesseuden
more than in any other Senator His nfiu-
ence among his associates is SO great that it is
thought he will take with him at least six of
the Republican Senators, and possibly larger
number. Various parties have talked with
him, but he seems firm in the position he has
assumed.
