DrvDED-BUTLER's PRYlNa INTO PRIVATE COR
REsPoNpENE CONDEMNED.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun writes under date of the 25th inst:
The Radicals Of the Senate held a caucus
this morning to consider the question OF
another postponement Of the vote on the re-
naming srtlcles Of impeachment. Messrs
Trumbul, Eessenden and the rest OF the Radi-
not invited TO participate in the dehberatlon,
and there was considerable ill-feeling manifest
ed toward them in the discussion. MIR. Wade
| is completely broken down, and abstained hom
taking any prominent part In the proceedings,
although his particular friends, Messrs. SUM
ner and, Chandler, were extremely active.
These senator's, and those who follow in
their train, were very earnest in insisting
on further .postponement OF at least two
weeks, stating that they had assurances that
the managers would bring in additional articles
on which there could be no possibility OF fall
ure. These senators have evidently forgotten
the great hurry they we're in when they imagin-
Sumner even desiring to sit until II o'clock at
night. Mr.. Wade merely expressed himself as
utterly Indifferent in regard to the matter, but
no one can fail to perceive that his hopes have
not yet altogether parted from him. Such
senator's as Ferry, Edmunds, and Morrill,, OF
and argued in favor Of taking the vote with
out further delay when the impeachment
court reassembles tomorrow. The ground
taken by the senators who opposed
postponement was that the country al
ready considered the President as virtually
acquitted, that business was moving on under
that supposition, that no arrangement Of the
finances or shaking Of the public confidence
had resulted therefom, as was anticipated,
and that the country would not justify any
further agitation Of the impeachment, unless
the investigations Of the managers furnished
the most satisfactory cause for the presenta,
ton Of new articles. Furthermore, it was held
that the continued Keeping OF the mpeacn.
ment matter before the people in the spirit
which controls Messrs. Butler, Stevens and
others, could but result disastrously to the for
tunes Of the party, and some senators did not
hesitate to condemn the wide range which
the investigation ordered by the House has
taken under the ruling influence OF MIR. But

A scene unequalled in nauseousnesss was
enacted in the House of Representatives to-
day. Butler submitted his promised 'fpartiaN
report, ss Forney called it. Bingham, Wilson,
Boutwell, and Williams, who we're present. said
not yorl,--but hung their heads -iB very
shame Stevens and Logan were absent, The
reports sxtsepely long, and gives thssadsnce &c
WoolIey and Weed IN ertenso. The marrow
OF the testimony is to the effect that q
certain "General Adams" Of Onondaga, New
York (who it is lyingly attempted to be
shown is Southern man, but who was
never south of Washington), and WooNey,
took it into their heads in order to secure their
bets probably, that q certain number of inn
n1acufate senators were purchasable with
uoney-gold- they opened negotiations
BY telegraph with Weed and others OF New
York (ail Radieals), and named four upright
judges on the impeaohment trlai supposed to
be in the market. Weed, in the Searching
cross.examination to1which he was subjected,
gave the names Of two OF them, but the willy
Butler suppressed them in his report. Mr..
Brooks, In the short speech he was permitted
to make, did not fail to demand disclosure Of
their names, which was refused. He, how
ever, in connection, with other testimony
which had, leaked out somehow, mentioned
those of Mr.. Pomeroy and Mr.. Nye in
this connection. Upon which Butler dis
tinctly admitted that the senators named by
Weed finally voted for conviction This an
nouncement created the profoundest sensation
throughout the hall, snd when twas further
implicated in anywise in the disgraceful trans-
actions referred TO by the managers we're Be
pnblieans, the wonder arose what could have
induced the managers to intrude the disgust
ing particulars upon the country. Not scin-
tilla Of evidence was shown connecting the
President or any Of the s.recusants, Democrats
or Conservatives, with them. On the contrary,
IL Was admitted in the report itself that Mr..
johnson proposed another and very different
mode of checking the progress Of impeach-
ment-that Of forming, in connection with
Judge Chase and the "recusantn senators,
new political party. The managers, it will be
observed, pretend to have evidence OF formal
meeting Of those parties for such purpose
prior to taking the vote upon the eleventh arti-
Gle.
The spectators were astounded at these dis
closures. It was expected by the Radicals
(outside Of the committse) that some sort Of
evidence would be produced, duplicating in
some round-about-way Fowler, Boss or others
Of the anti-impeachers. When all was told,
your readers may judge Of the length Of their
faces.
learn this evening that Stanton will GER
tainly resign upon the final disposition Of i'm
peachment upon the present articles. linen
toned some days ago that Mr.. Groesbeck would
probably take the place Of Mr.. McCulloch.
now learn that q very general change in the
Cabinet may be expected upon the final settle
ment Of the yexed question. To-day's e1posi-
tion was heavy blow against proceedings upon
new articles. The whole thing, it is now
thought, will be suferedt to die of.
