The Situation.

The acauittal of the President on the
eleventh article fully determines the issue Of
the trial This was regarded BY all parties
as the strongest on the indictment, and was
therefore selected by the managers as test
for that reason There is, therefore, no
ground to expects different result on the ten
charges still undecided. We lag aside, of
course. the suggestion that the postponement
was secured with the hope Of bringing the
pressure of the Chicago Convention to bear
in the case. In our opinion that would be
the very last resource of desperation, and no
man could uphold it before his constituents
or the country.
1t is we'll known that verdict of acquit-
tai has given general satisfaction; because it
was felt that conviction, under the circum-
stances, would have had no moral force, and
would only have injured the party at the de-
mand and by the open pressure of some of
whose leaders it would have been secured
We hope and trust that the excitement which
has been raging on the question for some
time, will soon pass away andthat our people
Will attend to their home affairs altogether
there is nothing to be gained outs de Of the
State; we must attend to home affairs and
let general politics so iato the hands of those
wbo are more able to spare the time than We
are.

It is evident the impeaehers have plans and

the lost field of victory. They lie on the
burning Jake, but hate is ever present with
them, the unconquerahle resolve Of those who

heaven" The chasm between them and their
recent party associates it required yesterday no
keen optics to discover. All syer.ures of .
reunion on the basis of cruel prescription

was yesterday no healing no peace, and hard
ly even truce. Therewas, lndsed, no direct
hostile handto- hand struggle. Grim -visaged
var" had slightly "sxloothed his wrinkled
'front.'" but sounds of lutte and loot evolved
anything but sweet harmony. And so the
combatants looked cold and suspicious one as
the other. Spurning all the grosser and vul
gar imputatioas of bribery and corruption, to
which ealumny the House has lent name,
not itself over-redolens Of virture, still there
was so much in the tactics Of Senators in de-
bate which was not truly just that we came
