Special 10 the Louisville Courier.
WASHINGTON, February 26.-The House
committee to prefer articles of impeach-
ment had Gen. Emory before them to-day
to ascertain if the President had made any
efforts to use the military garrison of
Washington for any purpose he might have
contemplated. General Emory exonerated
the President entirely.
The committee have determined, it is
said, to make several counta against the
President, one of which will be his recon-
siruction policy. A prominent member of
the committee said to-day it would be only
a farce to send johnson to trial for remov-
ing Stanton. The original impeachers,
how ever, have it their own way, and the
new recruits will writhe under it, but they
will yield to the demands Of the former
The public is fast settling in the opinion
that the thing has proved an abortion and
will iniure only its projectors.
Chief Justice Chase is said to have spo-
ken in contemptuous terms of the impeach-
ment question.
Coliax declared to-day that Congress
would not submit to the decision Of any
court on the tenure of office bill, but that
the Senate would Judge itself of the con-
stitutionality of the law. Hence, there
may arise, under this, the anomalous case
of johnson being CONVICTED for the viola
tion of law which, a month hence, the
Supreme Court might decide was no Law.

Inferqsting Mexican news.

gis, from Vera Cruz, brings a rumor that
a telegram had been received AT Vera
Cruz stating that two Mexicans from Ha-
yana had made an attempt TO assassinate
President Juarez. and to rob the treasury.
There was no opportunity Of ascertaining
what foundation there might be for this
rumor. Before the steamer left Vera
Cruz it was reported that the Mexican
treasury was buying in English and Span
ish clsims, bat ignoring the American de-
mands, though these proceedings were
against the will Of Romero, who was pow
erless TO prevent them

A CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE PREsI-
DENT Facts which have been develop
ed within the last few days tend to prove
the existence of a deep-laid conspiracy
against President johnson. The i'm
parchment plot of Ashley has failed, but
the impeachers have not relaxed their eff
forts or abandoned their purposes to seize
upon the Executive department of the
government. 1t is now understood that a
series of measures have been agreed on,
all looking to collision with the Execu-
tive by forcing Mr.. johnson To become
the aggressor. A few days since a reso-
luton was introduced into the Senate
directing the Judiciary Committee to in
quire into the expediency of providing by
law. for the suspension of an officer during
his impeachment, and arming the Senate
with power to enforce its orders, Then
we have a bill muzzling the Supreme
Court, so that it shall not interfere to ar
rest the progress of the plot; while the
Reconstruction bill, now nnder considera-
tion in the House, strips thp President of
all his Executive powers and clothes the
general commanding the armies with abb
solute authority. The same bill makes it
a misdemeanor for the President to inter
fere with the exercise pf this authority, so
that any attempt ou his part to protect OF
defend the executive prerogatives, under
the Constitution, becomes misdemeanor
for which he may be impeached. Thus,
it is hoped, the PresidenS will be forced
into collision which will result in his
impeachment and suspension, while Mr.
Wade will quietly assume the duties Of
President, with General Grant to support
his usurpation. AS this plot is now rap
idly developing itself. good men becomG
alarmed lest the country be precipitated
into civil war before the people can ap-
ply the correctives at the ballot~box. The
Radicals now declare their purpose to
move on boldly and to accomplish their
ends by direct and positive legislation,
admitting that they have been seriously
damaged by former timidity and hesita-
/ tion

THE PROPOSED REDUCTION OF GEN
HANCOCK. bill is now before the
Rump Congress TO reduce Gen. Hancock
below the military rank necessary to en-
able him to act as a district commander.
BY such despicable means the traitors in
Congress expect to bring back reign of
terror and military tyranny in Louisiana
and Texas. In regard to this infamous
scheme the New York Times (Republican)
says:
''Congress proposes to degrade Gen,
Hancock from the rank of Major General,
because his course in the Department oi
New Orleans does not meet the approba-
tiOn of the majority of that body. Gen.
Hancock won his rank by such service to
his country in the battlefield as few men
ever perform, and such as it is a disgrace
for any public man in this country ever to
forget. The men who propose to take
this action in regard to Gen. Hancock arc
the very men who insist most loudly OF
the duty of gratitude 20 the soldiers but
they keep their gratitude TO tie soldier
strictly subordinate to their party interests
and party zeal. The proposed measure
is utterly unworthy of Congress and
discreditable to party which brings it for,

GEO. Francis TRAIN ARRESTED AS A
FENIAR.-When the Cunard steamship
Scotia, from New York for Liverpool, en-
tered the port of Queenstown late ON the
evening of the 18th inst, for the usual
transfer of the Lendon and Irish passen-
gers and mails, a strong police force
quietly went aboard and arrested Messrs.
George Francis Train, GrinneII and Gee,
three of the passengers who sailed from
New York. 1t is understood that these
gentlemen were taken into custody on a
charge of being active members of the
American wing of the Fenian organiza-
tion. These proceedings, naturally enough,
cause considerable excitement both here
and elsewhere throuhout the kingdom,
and especially amongst American resi-
dents.

fanny When the rebellion was hatched
he was watching the nest with much So

President Buchanan was to make him his
Attorney General, and give him power to
increase Southern disaffection.
Finding the rebellion waning, he sought
and obtainued place in Lincolns Cabi-
