H., Ton, Ewing and Col JnO Henderson were
- attendance nj the Capitol for the purpose of eX-
animation. Fuller was questioned concerning the
drawing and depositng of large sums Of money,
bicb e did not account for altogether to the salts
f,ction Of the Managers. 5. 5. Cox was examined
with rcsncct to certain conversations between him
self and certain conspicuous johnson men, and IN
reference to what took place at the dinner parties
which were given by Fuller to the Presidents
counsel and others. J. T. Legate of Kansas,
the gentleman alluded to by Cooper IN
his testimony yesterday, denied that he
had shown any such letter to Mr.. Cooper
as that purpOrtng to have been written by Senator
Pomeroy. Senator Pomeroy appeared before the
Managers and explained the allegations which
Cooper has made, involving his name. 1t is needless
TO remark that Senator Pomeroy is not suspected Of
the slightest improper connection with the alleged
bride. The following is the denial Of Senator PQme-
roy: -
Mr. Editor Of The IntetigeHeer-Sir: see In Ihe In
produced and sworn TO before the Managers OF the In
peachment by Col Cooper as follows:

In reply will state that never made or authorized
the above letter The whole thing, far ~ am con-
oeIned is an entire fabrication Respectfully, &C..
The Managers maintain the strictest silence as to
what occurs in their committeeman and the reports
that have been set aaoat in Democratic newspapers
are concOcted in the White House, and cOlOred, of
course to suit the Presidents side of the 1t is
but fair to make this fact known so that the country
may know that only side of the case is published
The Indications tonight, are that the Senate will
not vote on Tuesday next on the remaining articles,
and that the Court will further adjourn. l have
learned OH the highest authority tonight, that three
new articles are to be submitted by Mr.. Stevens to-
morrow, and that if he cannot get them adopted by
the Managers he will submit them to the House
Mr. Stevens is confident that he can frame one OF
two articles on which it will be impossible not to
convict. When the articles were first under
consideration by the Managers, Mr.. Ste
vens was in favor Of making them far
stronger on many points; but he was overruled. The
probabilities now that the House viii adopt his
ideas. Several Of the Managers are opposed to the
taking of the vote next week The developments
that have been made in the Managers Investigations
are of the utmost Importance. and tend to confirm
the suspicious that undue influence was brought TO
bear TO defeat conviction on the Eleventh Article
The Managers have the right to alter or amend the
articles pending the trial to introduce new ones.
The introduction of articles will, Of course, ne
cessitate the introduction of fresh testimony.
Mr. Sumner was with the. Managers to-day during
the examination of the witnesses Testimony was
taken which entirely contradicted Coopers charges
against Senator Pomeroy. The Managers confidently
expect TO find evidence Of corruption and undue IN
6uence.
The friends and supporters of Ulysses s. Grant and
Schuyler Cofax gathered at the depot this evening
The Marine band arrived at about $780, and the
gathering had swelled to thousands, when Represen
tatives Boutwell, and Wilson arriving gave the order
to march TO the home of Gen. Grant. on reaching
his residence on I-st, near INew-Jersey-avep the
procession halted. After the band had played Hail
to the Chief" Representative Boutwell,, of Mass,
addressed Gen. Grant who stood in an open window
The immense multitude without now surged toward
the open doors Of the mansion, and the tide of hu
mainly flowed in, and the hand-shakng process
began. The General stood in the parlor, near an
open window. Immediately behind him were
Gen. Badeau and Representative Boutwell, AT
his right hand were his wife, sster-in-law, and |

tho garden played operate airs while the friends Of
the General rendering their congratulations in
the psrlOr At about 10 o'clock the procession moved
toward the residence of Speaker COlfax on Lafay-
ette-place.
1t is said this evening that the notion of starting
the third party has not been utterly abandoned.
Certain gentlemen interested in its and in the
defeat of Gen. Grant are attempting TO
influence and change the opinions Of some
of the colored clergymen who are here from
the South attending the Methodist Epis-
copal Conference An agent Of the third party
made approaches to-day to several Of the most prom
inent men in this Convention. He told them that
the Chicago platform is virtual abandonment of
the cOlOred people that Gen. Grant is not a Radical
and that they expect nothing at his hands.
tempting promises were made to these gentlemen
but thus far without The coored people in
this city have the utmost confidence in the nominees
of the Chicago Convention and will vote solid for
Grant and COlfax
