WASHINGTON, May 9.-Absoluto
uncertainty exists regarding the
result Of impeachment, Senators
keep their own counsels. Judicious
people applaud Senators for their
conduct in this respect.
Meade telcgraphs Grant that both
branches of the Georgia legislature
arc radical, also that the Florida
election passed off quiet, resulting
in the adoption Of the constitution ;
also that both branches Of the leg
islature are radical.
Neither House in session to-day.
Gen. Rousseau and several mem
bcrs of Congress visited the Prcsi-
dent to-day.
EX- President Buchanan is dan
gerously sick.
Tho Star says the bears in i'm
parchment stock made q tremendous
rally last evening, and for time
had it all their own way at the
leading hotels and other points
where transactions in the market
are carried on. Friends of the
President, who are supposed to
know a thing or two, were betting
wild on acquital; two to ono, ten
to.one, and a hundred to one. Later
at night the bulls rallied and swept
everything, and protested to be
particularly anxious TO find any
party anxious to bet on acquittal.
TO day it has been n soasaw opera
ton, the bears being uppormost one
hour and the bulls the next. Should
excitement increase in the ratio it
has for the last forty eight hours,
by Tuesday it will be up to fever
heat, aid something over, undoubt-
cdly. Tuesday will be the most
exciting day in Washington since
the surrender of Lees army.
The Express says there is good
deal of talk about town to-day upon
the probability Of the result of the
trial. The public
pulse is somewhat excited, but the
preponderance of opinion seems to
be upon tho side of acquittal.
A gentleman usual y well inform
ed upon current topics, and who
has opportunities ofknowing where
Of he speaks, stated this afternoon
that Senators had disposed of tho
question of Stanton's removal, and
will make the question about the
Presidents right to mako the re-
noval. The point about which
hey are now concerned is that in
to the aG interim appoint
ment and letter of authority to Gen.
Thomas. The Senators who are
satisfied that there is no cause of
by reason of Mr.. Stan
,on's removal, are well satisfied that
The Executive had the right to mako
he ad interim appointment. 1t is
not believed, however, that this
point will be considered a high
rhine or misdemeanor.

o have said, in answer to n ques-
ion regarding Bingbam's sugges-
ion that he would not obey the
Senator's mandate-why should /
hey, if the forms of the Constitu-
ion are complied with? If Sena-
ors do not act justly, they are
not to me but to the
people. The people who hold the
sovereign power have placed me
,ver one department with all its
luties and responsibilities, and have
placed monitors also with grave re-
and with Constitu-
ional power to try impeachment
Ind render Judgment thereon. II
hey misuse or abuse this or any
,ther power, the people alone can
lold them TO account. The people
iaving empowered them to try i'm
)eachment, it is not for the party
ried to set aside their judgment.
The people alone can settle with
heir agents for any abuse Of their
,reat trusts.
