FENIAN PRIsONERS-A NEW TREATY.
/ BY TELEGRAPB
WASHINGTON May 10, 1868.
In well-informed circles tonight, very littlo
doubt is entertained OF the conviction OF the President
on Tuesday. His Excelency and his friends build ON
sand when they predict the detection of six or seven
Republican Senator'S II Is barely possible that we q
lose three but their secession cannot affect the ress
All day yesterday the city was full OF rumors more y,
less favorable 10 the Presidents but hyx1
we're put IN circulation by his paid oneiae.<
These gentry manufactured little public
opinion which lived ITS little hour To-day strong cuF
has been setting against the President and th9s
Democrats have ceased TO lay wagers on Mr. Johnson
acqutal They profuse In their Offers last nlshts
and this morning but when the Republicans accepteds
they backed out on one plea another. Very httos
credit is attached to the story ahoat tonight that the
President has his resignation. Legally, all that Is
required that he file it in the State Department But
the Of resignation is dseredited, and is in all
probability pure bosh
The Senate Will go into session tomorrow
ing at 10 O'clock and among the subjects to be discussed
is the form Of putting the question the articles Tho
Democrats who pretend TO know everything, say that
the ChefJustice Will PROFOUND two questions first,
Is the respondent guilty Of the facts alleged And
secondly, Do the facts charged constitute high
crimes and misdemeanors punishable by
moval from ohleei They assert that on
the latter question the requisite number Of Republican
Senators will vote No. Now, in view Of the fact that the
President has admitted all the charges it ought to be
peruOus to put the first question. But the argument Is
that Senators will vote Yea the first, and Nay the
second, thereby getting astude tie question repre-
duce the for what it is worth absolutely nothing.
sagacious observers believe Tonight, that conviction is
| sure, and that Mr.. Wade VIII become President
Wednesday.
Mr. Fessenden and Mr. Trumbull, about whom so many
stories have put in circulation, WILL 1t is asserted,
for no
working two or three weeks to bring about scattering
of the the different articles hoping thus TO effect
the Presidents acquitta but Of this is sheer non
for the number of votes that TO be conce
trated two articles makes conviction certain.
The johnson have been circulating story In effect
that Mr. Wade Will resign before the nal vote taken,
and surrender his opportunity 20 become President To
Mr. Cofax. Need l say that this is caE-trapf MI,
Wade will resign only when 1t becomes necessary for him
TO vote TO depose Mr.. johnson.
