General Grant returned from New York
this morning
larger number of carpet baggors arriv-
cd to- day, most Of them from the North for
the purpose OF lobbying the impeachment
through the Senate to y conviction and re-
movai of the President. They propose to
regularly besicgc Senators Who arc doubted,
or in other words, who have very properly
refused to commit themselves TO The removal
Of Mr.. Johuson, whether he he legally PROV.
ell guilty or not. The carpet. bag lobbyists,
among whom arc New York Journalists,
claim to have accomplished much to-day
aud this evening in the matter of bringing
over doubtful senators, aud they assert that
three of the eleven whom they fcal cd were
"shaky" have given satisfactory assurances
that they will be ''ail right which means

principles; but they claim that their party
will be ruined if the Senate shall fail to sus-
tain the House in its impeachment. This
parly-polloy proposition is controvcrted,
however, by very considerable numbcr of
Republicans who see the defeat Of their

President without warrant of law or fact,
