THEATTEMPT 10 GEORGE SENATOR
HENDERSON.

Senator Henderson was before CON-
mittee Of the House Of Representatives
on the 10Th inst, to testify in regard to
the alleged efforts of Missouri Congress-
men to influence his vote in favor Of cons
yietion of the President
The testimony included a detailed bis.
tory Of what transpired between the Mis-.
souri, Congressmen and the Senator, the
principal features Of which have already
been given to the public. In addition 70
this matter, the committee questioned
Mr.. Henderson about the alleged promises
Of the President to reorganize his Cabinet
After stating that he had heard Of pro
posed changes in the heads of departments
Cor about year, and had recently heard
something Of the same purport, and had
expressed the wish and had hoped that
such changes would be made, in order tc
secure confidence in the iudicions action
hereafter, Senator Henderson remarked
"Now, gentlemen, | have answered these
questions, but deny your right to go into
such investigation, and desire your clerk
to record my protest against this examina-
tion."
The protest was accordingly recorded by
the Clerk, and thereupon discussion arose
upon the protest between the members Of
the committee, a majority of whom deci-
ded that the objection was well taken. The
clerk was then directed to expunge teal
part of the record relative to the Cabinet

rnE BRIBERY INVESTIGATION

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial FINISHES The following
synopsis of the investigation by the inn
parchment managers on the 10Th instant:
"The managers examination was con
tinued with unusual energy to-day. Sew
eral witnesses were examined, and Charles
w. WOolley, of Cincinnati, was recalled,
aud questioned for two hours or more. The
burden of his examination was conducted
by Mr.. Boutwell,, and the conduct Of Mr.
Butler ia represented 10 have been less obs
jectionable than yesterday. The examina-
ton covered substantially the same ground
as was gone over yesterday, and Mr.. WOOL
ley, declining to answer questions relative
to his private business affairs, was again
placed under the charge of the Sergeant-at-
Arms Tie desired TO know if he was to
be long held, aud he wrote note to some
friends to procure a habeaS corpus fori his
release which the managers caused 10 be
delivered. The papers were consequently
prepared 10y Woolley's friends, but, upon
going TO the Capitol, they found the witness
was again undergoing examination.
''The managers subsequently questioned
him regarding kilograms that had passed
between himself and Mr. Warden, one of
the Presidents staf, the telegram being
presented to the witness by the managers.
The examination yesterday was considered
to be illegal, inasmHch as Mr.. Butler had
administered the oath, which he had 40
authority to DO, theschairman of the COM
mittee being temporarily absent Mr.
Woolley was held for further examination,
and will appesr sgain tomorrow at eleven
O'Clock.
Two or three Telegraph operators, con-
nected with the different lines, were exam
ined in regard 20 the messages Of a CONNER
cial character which had passed over their
wires on two OF three days preceding the
vote, and the originals were retained BY
the managers for future examination.
mir. BOynton, correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Gazette, was questioned In regard

on the Tuesday preceding the vote in the |
Senate aud stated that Mr.. Ross had de- |
clared he should vote Tor the first, second |
and third articles, and that be saw some |
thing, als0 ia the eighth. la regard 10 tbe |

thought the article had not been sustained
by testimony, though he was convinced /
that the President was guilty OF the charges
in the article. While not saying in direct
language that he Ross) wonld vote for
conviction on that article, the correspond.

IwPFACHMENT.

The Washington correspondent Of the

Of the Goth inst as follows
Ii is yet doubtful whether the vote on

Gen Butler is said to have remarked that
il was necessary TO take the vote on Tues
day, so a. 10 find out who were traitors and

on the course of the Chiosgo Convention.
A change In the Cabinet ia an event that
may occur any day, in case Of aoquittal on
the remaining articles, which is extremely
probable. Democrats in Washington who
have bet heavy on impeachment, say that
il has not the ghost Of chance, while
Radicals who claim 10 have an inside view,

The Chase MOVement-Presiden

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-Some Of the
friends of Chief Justice Chase deny that
he is candidate for the Presidency, or
boihering himself abont the matter others
nrge that he will be run as a third candi-
date, and be able to defeat Grant in all the
Southern States where colored suffrage is
allowed. Some Republicans apprehend a
Chase or third party organization not only
for President, but in all the Congressional
and Legislative districts.
In addition 30 the active canvass now
going on between the friends Of Hancock
and Pendleton, there is n more quiet
movement in behalf of General Frank
Blair, which has made some Roadway.
lie is supported 10y many Of the most dis
tinguished and influential leaders Of the
Democracy Of Pennsylvania and New
York, and il is reported that = good deal
Of strength has been secured for him in
New England. His active and inveterate
hostility 10 African suffrage will, il is
claimed, make him very acceptable to
Southern delegates. His name will be
formally presented by the Missouri dele
CATION, and his friends contend that all
bis antecedents make him the most availa-
bic candidate that can be placed on the
course.
Blair, Hancock and Pendleton will be
the three prominent candidates for the New
York Convention. There is talk Of Gen.
Wrigh, Of California, Mr.. Justice Davis, of
Illinois, Judge Field aud Horatio Seymour,
Of New York, and others, including even
Judge Chase, hut it is not believed that
there is any general organization at work
for any Of these candidates except the first
three named There Is very little struggle
among the Conservatives for the Vice
Presidency, the choice being a sequence
to the Presidential nomination.
Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-The talk of the
third party movement continues in spite of
the overshadowing interest of the Chicago
Convention. The persons interested in the
matter all seem 10 look 90 Chief Justice
Chase as the leader, but just how far he en-
coursges such talk and approves what seems
10 be the contemplated action, is not known.
1t may be said, however, that the third |
party, by whomever led, cannot enroll Sem
ators Fessenden, Grimes and Trumbull, |
among its members. These gentlemen, as |
there is the best authority for stating. are |
all for Grant, and entertain no other politi- |
cal purpose than to do what in them lies |
for his success on the Chicago platform |
during the coming campaign. They have |
no difference with the Republican party on !
any leading question, except the Presidents
guilt under the impeachment articles pre-
scented BY the House, and are "a strong now
as ever in the faith and conviction that the
Eell-being and prosperity Of the whole
country viii be best promoted by wise
carrying out Of Republican principles.

General Grant Serenaded--He Max es
q Few Remnrka


General Grant was serenaded this eve
ming. After the band played ''Hail to the
Chief" calls were made for Grant, when be
appeared al the door of his residence and
was greeted with prolonged cheers. Repre-
sentative Boutwell,, of Massachusetts, who
was standing at his side, addressed him in
terms expressive of qualification at his
unanimous nomination by the Chicago
Convention.
General Grant said Gentlemen, being
entirely unacustomed to public speaking,
and without the desire to cultivate that
power, Laughter, it is impossible to find
appropriate language to thank you
for this demonstration. All that l can say
is that to whatever position may be called
by your will, | shall endeavor to discharge
its duties with fidelity and honesty of pur~
pose, and of rectitude in the performance
of public duties. You will have to Judge
for yourselves by my record before you"
Three cheers were then given for Gen.
Grant. Hundreds Of the crowd then en-
tered the house and congratulated the
General.
The procession then moved to the resi-
dence OF Speaker COlfax. Calls having
been made for him, he appeared at the door
of his residence in company with Repre-
sentative Pike, of Maine, who, in a few re-
marks, introduced Mr.. ColfaX. The latter
said My friends, thank you with all the
emotions of grateful heart for this latter
ing manifestation of your confidence, and
congratulate you on the suspicious opening
of the eventlul campaign Of which we are
entering. The Chicago Convention, re-
presenting the entire continental area of
the republic-eyery State, every territory
and every district from ocean to OCEAN
declared that their first and only choice for
President was Ulysses S. Grant. Great
applause Brave, yet unassuming; re-
Iicent, and yet, when necessary, firm as the
eternal.
