The patient still continued to grow
worse, and it was found necessary to bind
him TO the bed but in the unnatural

the cords were quickly snapped, as if they
had been so much straw. At 2 O'Clock on

Special telegram to the Dispatch.


/. Ism WASHINGTON, April 6, 1868.
STEVENS AND LOGAN DESIRE TO MAKE
SPEECHES IN THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
Stevens and General Logan both desire
to make speeches in the impeachment trial,
but as Messrs. Boutwell, and Bingham are
already designated by the Managers to
argue the case, and as the rule of the
Senate does not permit more than two
speeches on each side, Messrs. Stevens
and Logan cannot deliver their proposed
speeches without change of the rules of
the Senate.
CORRECTION OF AN ERRONEOUS STATEMENT.
The statement that the Managers pro-
pose to introduce as evidence letter of
the President addressed to members of
Mr.. Lincoln's Cabinet, and recognizing
them as his (Johnson's) own appointees, is
erroneous. No such letter was written.
ARRIVAL OF GENERAL sTEADMAN.
General Steadman arrived here to-
night.
DECISION IN FAVOR OF MRS. GAINES.
The case which has been long pending
of Mrs. General Gaines against the city of
New Orleans and many citizens thereof,
for certain property in that city left to her
by her father, was decided by the Su-
preme Court to-day in her favor. Promi-
nm lou ho f,,l1
as to the value of this PROPERTY, say that
this decision will undoubtedly make her
the wealthiest woman in America.
THE PRESIDENTS RECEPTION.
The Presidents reception tonight was
attended by a very select company, but
was not so numerously represented as
former receptions, owing to the fact that
this is Holy Week, and many who hereto
fore attended did not appear.
HOW NEWS FROM THE CONNECTICUT ELEc-
TON WAS RECEIVED.
During the evening dispatches from
Connecticut to various persons here were
brought to the President, indicating the
result of the election in Connecticut, and
were eagerly read by the visitors. The
effect upon the countenances of the COM
pany was quite exhilarating, and smiling
faces prevailed throughout the assembly,
THE DEMOCRATS CARRY CONNECTICUT BY
