The threats which have been made about
new articles Of impeachment, if thay were,
intended to frightent the President, VIII In
all probability fail, to, have, that effect, as
the Indications are that he intends Pursu-
ing the same plain path for the remaining ma
months of his administration that charac-
! .erszed those which jareo past. Inc assei
tions are that should the President Proeeeoi

I. Of General Grant he viii receive. she Sc
II vercss disclosure OF, his enemies. whether
Mr. Johnson intends to move actively In his
onnos;t;on to certain well-laid schemes that
J, we're rnanped out by Radical congressman
before they adjournediwilf very likely be
shown during the coming week. s2o"' >
Quite numbered parties well posted in
the evensssof the hour persist in asserting
that the Secretary of State, Mr.. Seward, is
advocating the election of General Grant,
and that he will come out openly in his
favor before many days. While there is
q no positive assurance. that this is not the
fact, il is not in the least likely that Mr.
! Seward would take any part whatever
Z against the Democratic candidates without
stating to the President his intention OF 30
resignation IN III Mr.. JoGnson's Cabinet.
--~t0ar-correspondent deesn't-know- Seward: J
The appointment of the Hon.. John d.
BinckIey to the position OF Solicitor of the
Internal Revenue is one of the best merit
ed favors which have emanated from the
present Administration. Mr.. Buckley is
a gentleman of high integrity and superior
attainments, both legal and otherwise.

venge, which was shown by Congress legis-
latipg him out Of Office as Assistant Attor-,
neyGeneral. b
General Thomas Ewing, Senator, Ross,
and Baron Stoeckel, the Russian Minister,
were among the most prominent visitors at
the White House this morning. Before the
meeting of the Cabinet Baron Stoeckel had
an interview with the President in relation
to the Alaska purchase. -
- There has been considerable anxiety
q among the whiskey men at New York and
elsewhere with regard to the adoption Of q
metre for detecting frauds In distilllng,
- some being in favor of one description and
others advocating another. The anxiety
generally was with regard to the expenses
attending the attachment Of the metre to,
the distilleries. To-day Mr.. Rollins decided
d in favor of the lice metre, which has been
! in prominent discussion for a long time. z
The President is now being literally be-
sieged with visitors, who throngr daily to
the White House, clamorous for. an inter-
!. view. 1t would be well if he should, in
self-defence, take short tour to some of.
the watering places. 1t would be merciful
to himself and no doubt gratifying to the
active usher who presides at the portals of
the executive office SO constantly and so
yigilantly. h.. ..,... .r,, ~ 1870 ..r.,,nl rse
A fine rain-storm this afternoon has had
the effect of imparting o. very appreciable
GOODNESS to the atmosphere, which this
morning seemed as approaching the zenith
of another torrid term" TIMoN. ,
