T.AToRs.
WASHINGTON, May ia continuous
rain throughout the day has caused appa-
rent quiet among the manipulators Of the
Impeachment, but they have, nevertheless,
been most indnstriously and earnestly ut
work. The pressure and various kinds Of
influences brought to bear upon the re-
naming doubtful senator's is wonderful.
kilograms in great numbers are sent hence
to various quarters, urging that meetings be
held to demand the removal Of the Presi-
dent; also, requesting petitions to be tele-
graphed by influential Republican senators
insisting upon the latter's votes for convic-
tion. Dispatches come in response; some
promising to comply, others declining to
interfere in the matter as it is sub
ject to be disposed Of upon the solemn
.oaths of senators themselves, and by
resolutions at town meetings. A reply
of this character is said to have been
made last night by Hon. E. i. Ingersoll,
member of the House from Illinois, who
was called upon TO sign his name to 8 re-
monstrance of politicians of his State
against the action and proposed vote Of
Senator Trumbull. How effective these
extraordinary teforts shall be upon
some of the senators who it is
proposed to carry by arguments, impor-
tunities, and threats, may be problema-
teal. It is certain, however, that no out
side pressure of any kind can affect the
votes Of the statesmen who have filed their
arguments against impeachment, nor is it
believed that any change can in this way
be accomplished as to the status and votes
of the other half-dozen or more Repub-
ican senators named as doubtful.
The extreme Radicals say they will get
rid of the President by some means yet in
reserve, and o Radical senator from west
ern State expresses himself in this wise:
"We'll have that fellow out yet, even if we
have to admit the southern senators to vote
for conviction"
ARRIVAL OF HORACE GREELEY.
Horace Greeley arrived here this morn
ing, and was at the capitol<in conversation
with members. Quid nuncs say he is here
to try to carry uncertain senators into the
impeachment scheme, but other authority
says Greeley came here to visit his family,
who have been temporarily sojourning in
this city for some weeks.
NO CHANGE IN THE VIEWS OF PARTIES.
Upon the whole, the observations of to-
day do not indicate any material change in
the views and claims of parties. The I'D
vocates of impeachment are not quite SO
confident of the removal of the President,
whilst their opponents are about as firm
now as at any time previous that the YER
dict will be acquittal.
THE ILLNESS OF SENATOR GRIMES CREATES A
PANIC.
Senator Grimes was taken suddenly i'll
this afternoon, and threatened with paraly-
sis. The report was instantly circulated,
and believed, that he was-that his physi-
stefan had said that he could not live till
morning. The statement created general
panic among impeachment manipulators,
and the sum total of the effect of the Sena-
tors demise at this juncture was immedi-
ately footed up and discounted.
The tolerably fair health of Mr.. Grimes
this evening has upset these calculations,
and am happy to state that the Senator
will probably be us well as ever by to-mor-
row morning.
CONKLING ILL.
Senator Conkling is quite i'll tonight
with inflammation of the bowels.
HOWARD IN A CRITICAL CONDITION.
Senator Howard is yet in critical con-
dition, and more delirious tonight.
THE IMPEACHMENT VERDICT TO BE POST
P0NED.
1t is understood the impeachment verdict
will be postponed from next Saturday to
the following Saturday. WALLACE.
