The Contest for the Deun0erasfe NOsaE
natiOn-HIRneOek' = Friends Hard at
WOrk-A Third Party Organization
FrePOsed-Chief Susttce Chase 90 be
Hts Candidate.
Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Commercial.
WAsHIHGToE, May IS.--A sharp but
quiet contest is going on between the friends
Of Hancock and Pendleton, which is at
tracing much attention here Hancock's
friends claim that he is the first choice Of
New England, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
and the second choice. of New York, and
viii be preferred by a majority Of the
Southern delegates on the score Of avail
ability. The Charleston MercaEy, Lynch
burg Rpublican, Petersburg Ialer, Mobile
Register, New Orleans PicaylGHe and other
Southern papers advocate his nomination.
The Virginia politicians propose TO take
back seat, but will advise Hancock's nomi-
nation. SIN Pendleton's friends are very
active and hopeful, ... (
The topic next to impeachment, which is
most discussed here is the third party
mOTemeRk which, is is deemed, viii be-
come a matter Of much political signif-
canoe. The Democrats, while they are
ready TO give all praise to Chief Justice
Chase for his attitude during the impeach-
ment trial and to accord to Grimes, Fes-
sender and Trumbull all the glory possible
with them, except to help them to Office,
are not yet prepared 20 abandon the prin-
ciples to which they owe their existence
for the purpose Of showing their apprecia-
tion of the aid, which Mr.. Chase has been
ahle to give them. Ever since the an
nouncement Of Chief Justice Chase that
the President had been acquitted on the
eleventh article, TO the present time, the
belief has been current here that Chase
would be the candidate OF the DemOcra-
cy at the New York Convention.
Mr.. Chase, there is little doubt,
would accept nomination at the hands
Of any convention whose platform accorded
with the principles which he has main
tained for a lifetime. Indeed, he has sub
stantiallY 80 declared, over and over again.
The Democrats, of course, will not go TO
Chase, and Chase won't go to the Demo
Gratis. So, tonight, the general belief
among the Radical Democrats and Radical
Republicans, is that a new party, composed
of anti-impeachers among Republicans and
the Conservative portion Of the Democrats,
sloughed off by the excitement of the past
three months, will be formed, and that
third candidate will be in the field, in the
person of the Chief Justice. A Chase pa
per is already in contemplation here, under
the sanction, il is said, of the Chief Justice.
All of these predictions and assertions
are made in view of the general impress
sion here that the Chicago Convention will
take decisive action in denouncing the Re
pulicans who voted for the Presidents ac-
quitial, and, by resolution, read them out
of the party. gg#Etts
The more cOnsiderate conclusion is, that
all of this excitement, arising out of the
disappointment and anger engendered by
Saturdays proceedings, will gradually die
out, and that disaffection will cease in a
united support of General Grant.

The very next day after the death Of
the Emperor Theodorus, and the razing
Of the fortress-town Of Magdala, Sir
Robert Napier ordered the British troops
to return to the coast, with as little de-
lay as possible, in order, says the Phila-
delphia Press, that they might embark
for India, at Port Annesley, where the
steam transports were ready for sea at
an hours notice Some Of the Paris
journals declare that the Russian gov
ernment has planned q great insurrection
in India, and that the British army yas
hurried home from Abyssinia in order to
be employed IN putting It down The
London press denOunces this news as
improbable and untrue.
The number Of prisoners set free by
the defeat Of Theodorus was about sixty.
Of these few were British subjects.
There were Mr. Cameron, British Consul
at Massowah, with his Secretary and
servant Mr. Rassam, Syrian, Agent Of
the English government; Lieut.. Pridea
aux, Of the English army, and Mrs Ro-
senthal There were Eve German miss
sionaries, with their wives and children I;
two German natural history collectors
DIR, Blance, a German scholar, and Mons.
A. Bardel French painter and teacher
Of languages These make a total Of
seventeen, and the rest were European
workmen, tempted to Abyssinia by Theo-
dorus, and detained as captives.
The Secretary for India has stated in
the House of Commons, when the sue
cessful issue Of the war in Abysinnia was
announced, that the entire cost would
not exceed five millions sterling ($25, ,000,-
600 which could be easily provided for
by slight temporary augmentation OF
the income tax. 1t may seem expensive
for a nation to pay so large a sum for the
liberation Of half dozen Of its citizens
but no expenditure which maintains the
prestige and exalts the dignity of a great
nation can be considered excessive. That
the desired success of the expedition
should have been obtained without the
loss Of a single soldier in the field, and
with only sixteen wounded, is remark.

THE COwARDICE OF DELAY

There is a strong feeling, even among
the impeachers, that the adjournment of
ihc Senate-its refusal TO meet fair and
square vote on impeaehment--a
measure upon which il had been en'
gagged Cor three months--is both coward
ly and wrong, and that it viii seriously
iniure the Radical party. Thus the
chicago Tribune, the ablest of al the
Western organs Of impeachment, says in
its issue Of the 10th instant
"From a political standpoint the obiec-
lions 10 delay seem equally strong. To
posipone the Judgment until after the
National Convention next week-As re-
ports from Washington say that some
members of the House desire-with the
purpose Of inducing that Convention TO
hass 4 resolution in favor Of Johnsons re-
moval, would be a grave political blunder.
lnpeachment-as We have over and over
again stated, ~ the Senators, whose speech
4 on Friday have fallen under our eye,
uniie in saving, and as Senator Hender-
aon in his ietter 30 the Missouri deIega-
ION. declares--is a judicial proceeding
apon which political body cannot proper
N express an opinion al this stage Of the
case. Ardenhy a. Republicans may hope
that the managers have drawn uP an in-
diclment against the President, upon which
two-thirds of the Senste can ind him

THE SICK SENATORS RECoyERING.

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May l8.-The Senators
who were 90 i'll last week, are now all in a
fair way of recovering. Messrs. Nye, Nor
ton and Conkling appeared in their seats
to-day, and gave their usual attention TO
business. Though Morton looked feeble
and emaciated, Mr.. Howard seems to have
found his journey TO the Senate on Satur-
day, good medicine for him, since he has
been rapidly mending. He sat up several
honrs to-day, and if he has no relapse, will
soon be able 10 resume his Senatorial dus
ties. Mr.. Grimes was apparently worse
for time, after returning TO his house on
Saturday from the Senate, but had good
nights rest, and to-day is quite perceptibly
improving. He begins TO use his half par
alyzed leg little, and can manage his arm
well enough to sign his name. Entire rest
from all exciting labors is enjoined upon
him, and he will leave the city as soon 80
he il able to travel, ON the indefinite leave
of absence which was granted him to-day.
Itis doubtful il he will return here this
session, unless il shall be much protracted.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commereial writes as follows;
The most disappointed men, perhaps, id
this city, outside Of Congress- are George
Wilkes, of the Spirit of The Times, and
Theodore Tilton, OF the Iadepelldeat The
former has done nearly all the betting for
the convictionists hereabouts, while the
latter has worked among Senators with
great energy for the success Of impeach-
ment. They agreed that the eleyenlh was
by all odds the strongest article, and up "a
the moment when the question of guilty
or mot guilty" was put to Senator Ross
this afternoon, they were confident the vote
would result in conviction. Ii is not posi-
lively known whether Wilkes has any bets
on the aforesaid article, but from the way
be has been shaking greenbacks in the
faces Of anti-impeaehers here, il would not
be surprising if he lost heavily. Tilton,
like Ashley, still clings to conviction strong,
and will no doubt turn up again on the
hOOr of the Senate week after next.
Another severely disappointed man is
General Daniel E. Sickies, who is warm
friend Of Stanton and bitter enemy Of the
President. He has endeavored to create
the impression among Republican Senators
that the election of Grant depends on the
removal Of johnson, and according to cur
rent report he succeeded so far in this busi-
ness az to express the unqualified opinion
this morning that the Presidents term OF
service would end with the adjournment of
the high court Of impeachment this after
noon.

pIERCE on rHE PREsTDENCY,

The National nteHigencer of the 18th
inst prints letter from ex-President
Pierce upon the coming nomination of
the Democratic party. He speaks of
Pendleton, Seymour, Hendricks, Doolittle
and Hancock in the highest terms and in
the order named, and continues as fol-
lows regarding them
If il be not singular, it is at least very
fortunate, that such gentlemen as you
name should be the five citizens toward
whom the country is now turned, and ap-
parently concentrated. Ii is an honor to
representative names faithfully earned, and
not less to the honor, patriotism and intel
ligonoe Of the people. Ii every eonsilera-
ton likely TO influence The momenteus re-
suit is rot dispassionately and thoughlfully
weighed, it will be blunder and crime.

that could be done by man to arrest the
surge of Constitution-defying Radicalism,
and restore fraternity and peace, unity and
prosperity 10 the republic"

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-John Stuart Mill
and Lucy Stone are having little CORE
spondence on the subject of woman suffrage.
Mr.. Mill says;
'In this country the political enfran-
chisement Of woman is gaining ground
rapidly in public opinion; and, If the cause
is thus prOspering in the old country, which
has never yet professed to ground its politi-
cal institutions on principles of equal JUS
tice, but chiefly on historical precedent,
how much more ought it to prosper in the
United States, the very foundation of whose
institutions is the equality of all human
beings in the eye of the law and of the Con-
stilution, and who proclaimed that great
doctrine in the memorable document by
wh:ch they first secured their existence as
a, nation. There is no true Democracy
when large classes of the community are
denied equality of political rights."
