The Philadelphia Bulletin says of the
Republican Senators in favor of aequit-
tall
"These men take mp their burdens oi
infamy and clothe themselves with their
eternal shame without shadow of ex-
euse. They have been bargained for,
higgled over, weighed, aud measured
and valued, aud fually paid for and de-
livered TO the purchaser as completely
and unreservedly as was ever the lowest
wretch who is dragged from the cutters
of the Fourth Ward to the polls, and
who casts his vote for drink of whisky.
1t will be found that more than one of
them has been bought with actual money,
selling their miserable souls and consci-
ences for SO many dollars. There are
Others no less base and treacherous, who
haze sold themselves to their own spite.
Fro Re day when these men reverse
thei rn principles aud the solemn
verdsPf the people, men will begin to
teach their children these names, as they
teach them the name of Benedict A rnold,
and they and their prostcrity will long
in vain for an oblivion that would blot
out the record Of their infamy from
among men,"
The Philadelphia Press (Forney)
says: Last night, when the bone aud
sinew of the country lay pnscious in
honest sleep, the midnight Wires flashed
over the land the disastrous intelligence
that in all probability the Republic had
been betrayed in the house of its friends.
The worst feature of this startling de-
fection-if detection there isis reveal
ed in the fact that those Senators who
now indicate their intentions to vote for
the acquittal of the great Patricide, as if
conscious of guilt or dishonor, have
steadily kept their counsel from their
best friends, refusing to confer with the
members from their own State, and ut
terly declining to heed the voice of
their constituents"
The Cincinnati Gazette says;
1t is a matter of public notoriety
that the agents of this [whiskyl gang
have been watching the Senate with
sums large enough to secure any vote
that conld be found purchasab BILE. Shall |
the public so strain and distort charity
as 10 suppose that Senators who are un
faithful to their party and country for
such base consideration, are too high 1

The Cincinnati Chronicles Washing
ton special says
"a rumor was extensively circulated /
this morning that there had been a eau
Gus of renegade Republican Senators at /
Chief Justice Chase's residence last 1
evening.
1t is claimed that evidence will be /
slicited which will prove that two Sena-
tors have obtained large sums of Inouey
for going against the conviction of the |
President, and that they deliberately
bartered away their votes"
A Washington dispatch to the New
\ York Tribune says:
.. Trumbull, Fessenden and Grimes,
poor Grimesr were more conspicuous
han ever before. The infamous motor
ETY. which they had obtained made every
stranger ask to have them pointed out to
him. They sat alone in their seats.
\ Nobody who had the least regard for his
reputation ventured near them. Can
,ne touch pitch and not be dNed? seem
ID to be the unanimous sltiment.-
Grimes curled himself upon his seat, as
mean, repulsive, aud uoxious as hedge
log in the cage of travelling menagerie;
ind SO they sat, the target of SCOTS,
while five hundred lorgnettes were scan
hing their faces for some indication in
heir facial lines of the deep, dark treaeh-
,ry of their hearts. Trumbuli smiled.
How difArent his look from that of the
light, gh boy-his son it may be-
whom lie caressed Fessenden busted
himself with his correspondence. In
lignant New Enghnders asked, what
las New England done that she should
nave such a representative?
g At 1I:30 precisely the gavel OF the
President pro tenn. called the Senate to
,rder. Every Senator was in his seat.
rhe silence was almost painful. After
fervent prayer, in which decent few
oined, the Chief Justice assembled the
-ostrum, and opened the Court by direct
ng the Sergeant alarms to make procla-
nation. The journal OF yesserd"y'sf
secret session, dull, dry record OF
motions and votes, was read. 1t contain
I'd none of the burning words Of Morton
DR. Wilson 1t gave little evidence Of
the treachery of Trumbull, the false
hood of Fessenden, or the party treason |
Of Grimes.
