honest Jurors in the United States that
he has been guilty of violation either
of the Constitution or the laws in the
removal Of Stanton, and upon thatthe
whole proceeding rests, however much
the Jacobins who have it in charge
may seek to disguise it by the intro
duction Of other allegations having no
foundation whatever in point OF fact
Sumner thinks the so-called Congress
ought not TO send any bills to the Ex-
ecntive for his approval pending the
impeachment conspiracy, and there
is some talk about concurrent reso'
luton to that affect.
THE SITUATION
The situation remains unchanged.
Stanton still occupies his quarters at
the War Office, both day and night
General Thomas was at the Depart
ment TO day but made no demand for
its surrender. He has entered suit
against Stanton for false arrest, laying
damages at s159,000. A rumor was
started here this afternoon that Stan
ton had resigned, but the story was
so preposterous in the light OF his
conduct that IL fouhd no believers.
THE MODEL JuDdEs.
Mr.. David X. Carter, one of the
Radical Judges of that political ma
chine known rs the "Supreme Court
of the District Of Columbia" appeared
on the floor ofthe House this afternoon
and tooka seat among Radical friends
of that "irregular and fragmentary
body" He was surrounded by num-
Der ofsuch classical and accomplished
members as John Covode, and warmly
congratulated by them for his dis
graceful conduct in the case Of Stan
ton VS.. Thomas. He seemed TO enjoy
the greeting extended to him.
THE RUNP TO DAY.
Nothing ofspecial interest occurred
in either House of the Rump today.
The large drove Of cornfeld negroes
who repaired TO the Senate gallery at
an early hour, expecting to witness the
parchment Of the President, were dis
appointed, and compelled to listen TO
long harangue from Massa Sherman
ON the financial question. Tho House
was engaged principally with an ap-
preparation bill, in charge of that pub
lie cconomist-W Washburne, Of Illinois.
The galleries were not more than one
third full. The colorcd loyalist, how
ever, were on hand, looking down on
the floor, and no doubt thinking OF
the not distant future, when they will
be there making laws, like their
tions in the Southern States
WAsHINeros, Feb. 2S.
IMPEACHMENT.
Contrary to general expectation,
the House Committee Of Seven did
not present their articles Of impcach-
ment to-day. They have been at work
upon them since Monday last, aud, no
doubt, find great difficulty in so form
ing their "indictment" as to ensure
conviction beyond the possibility of a
doubt. Since the excitement Of the
early part of the week has in a meas
ure subsidized, and the question been
discussed in a practical light, the Rad
ical conspirators in the House who
have staked their all on the success of
the movement appear more cautious
in their acts, hence the delay in sub
mitting the proposed articles. They
know that every charge made therein
will not only undergo the scrutiny of
skilled lawyers, but also that of intel
ligent men throughout tho whole
country, and, therefore, they are ex-
tremely anxious to present such arti-
cles as will meet the appreciation Of
the party and disguise the real char
acter Of the proceeding. They finally
admit that a failure to convict the
President would result in the absolute
ruin of the party; and in order to save
the remnant Of that wicked and cor
rupt political organization, they are
bending all their energies toward the
consummation Of the outrageous and
unconstitutional effort to depose the
President, started by the House on
Monday last. There is only one OBJ
stacle in the way, and that is the Su-
preme Court They fear the tenure
of-office act will, sooner or later, come
before that tribunal for review, and
knowing the unconstitutional charac-
ter Of that measure, they very reason
ably anticipate the decision that will
be made upon IT, The rumor alluded
to in this correspondence yesterday,
that Stanton was about 10 tender his
resignation, grew out of the fact that
several Radical Senators, who are
anxious to avoid any decision Of the
question at issue by the Supreme
Court, had intimated that it would be
better for Stanton to resign, and thus
clear the way for partisan impeach-
ment That individual, however, pre-
emptorily refuses TO relinquish his
hold on the public Treasury, and
therefore the case must stand as at
present, with law. justice and reason
all on the side OF the Executive, and
with nothing to sustain the Rump but
the necessities Of the party, which
demand the removal Of the President
because he is supposed TO be in the
way Of the Africanization ofthe South
crn States, and the success Of the Rad
ical organization ia the coming Prcsi-
dental campaign.
THE SITUATION.
AT this writing there is no change
IN the situation. Stanton holds on TO
the War Office, and entertains his
Radical friends in that building, both
night and day. No application has
yet been made for quo uarranfo, or
