WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE following
statement is prcdicated, OF information dc.
rived from n highly respectable source II
is generally known that some members, ii
not all Of the Presidents Cabinet, have sig
nifed their willingness 10 retire from Office,
and hence there is much speculation on that
! auHfeef Dra2ufUanf NaUsfcFnau 0f roth naP.
ties, in conversation recently, agreed on the
sentiment that most Of the trouble between
Congress and the President springs from the
defeat of the executive administration under
the present form Of government that If the
Ministry here, as in England, would retire
and give place % another, in accordance 20
the expressed viii Of the people, we would
have secured peace long ago, and recopstruc-
ton under the Presidents plan have long
been rejected. 1t is now thought by Con.
gressmen Of both parties that he will agree
to admit southern representatives In any
practicable way, which does not exercise an
effect on their judgment in passing on the
articles OF impeachment. IL is said that ii
impeachment had not been pending, there Is
little doubt that a new cabinet would long
since have been designated, composed of the
great distinguished and eloquent men OF the
country. It should not, therefore, create
snrpriseif a change should be made in the
complexion of political affairs. If these
c~onjcctures should be realized, il will remain
for the Senate, in view Of the probable de
feat Of the remaining articles Of impeach
nicnt ON the 26th inst. TO accept or rejcci
what is offered. and if accepted in good
faith, IL must soon lead to a restoration 81
union, peace and prosperity Immediately.
Ii is untrue that johnson has indicated Z.
precise parties or character of his contem.
plated cabinet appointments. further than
they shall be men Of eminent abilities, suct
as 70 challenge the confidence and respect o.
the entire country.
The Impeachment Managers will com.
mence tomorrow an inquiry as to the al
legged improper or corrupt means said to have
been used TO influence the determination o
the Senate upon the articles of impeach'
ment. There is no truth whatever in the re
port that Chief Justice Chase called yester.
day on President johnson to congratulate
HIM on the result of the Senator's vote on
eleventh article of impeachment.
