THE MISSOURI INVESTIGATION.


The special House Committee to in
quire into the action of the Missouri
delegation had a long meeting yester-
day. and finished taking the statements
of all parties concerned, with the ex-
ception of two of the delegation. A
point concerning the interview had by
the Missouri delegation with Hender-
son and not heretofore published was
brought out in the evidence given. It
appears that a former st. Louis cotton
broker, named Cutler, and now New
York broker, drove up 10 Henderson's
door at the same time tho delegation
went in to have an interview with
him, and entered with them and heard
the conversation. Towards its close,
Mr.. Cutler said to those present,
would 1t not be better to acQuit the
President in case he would reorganize
his Cabinet and give the patronage of
Missouri to Henderson2n To this a
member replied such. a thing could not
be, whereupon both Cutler and Hem
derson speaking together, said 1t oonld
be. Henderson,, when asked by the
Committee, who first gave him the idea
that the President contemplated chang
ing his Cabinet, stated he received it
from Reverdy Johnson. AT least one
other instance of Reverdy JohnsonIs
approaching Republican Senators on
this matter is known. Regarding his
alleged statement that he should vote
for conviction on the eleventh article,
Henderson stated he believed the Presi-
dent guilty on all averments of that ar
ticle, except one, substantially recitins
the Emory article, and he had fully
determined to vote guilty until the
Senate refused to divide this article,
This refusal he construed as equivalent
to saving stif Senator voted guilty, Il
was equivalent to so voting on each
Ryerment of the article.n The report Of

THE soUTHERN STATES.

The general question of bringing In
the Southern States has been good
deal debated among Republicans for
the last three or four days. Gen. Grant
and Mr.. Colfax both favor the speedy
admission of such as have complied
with the reconstruction acts and can
present accepta BILE constitutions. There
are some persons, however, who pro-
fess to believe that the true interests
of the Republican party will be best
subserved by making haste slowly in
this matter. The unanimity with
which restoration bills have been put
through the House may, tits believed,
be taken as a general Indication OF the
feeling in the Senate, and an effort will
probably be made in that body to-mor-
row. to get up the Arkansas bill. It
seems pretty certain that the Senate
will finally agree with the House in or
dering new election In Alabama, but
that other reconstructed States will be
admitted before July,

THE IMPEACHMENT VOTE.
The question whether n vote will be
taken on impeachment Tuesday Will
probably be decided by consultation to-
morrow night, unless the Managers
shall seem to call for delay OF the
vote. The Managers will not decide
upon their course till tomorrow morn
ing, when they meet to decide 1t. Two
of the Managers, Stevens and VIII
liams, are urging the presentation OF
additional articles, but all the others
are opposed to this. General Butler is
Dreparing a preliminary report, which
will be sub mitted to the Managers in
the morning, and probably laid before
the House. It will set forth the main
features of the evidence thus far, and
embody a considerable portion OF it.
This will be made for the Information
OF the House, but it is supposed it will
be of such a character as TO compel the
Senate to take immediate notice of 1t.
General Butler is preparing the report
on account of the i'll health OF Judge
Bingham, which has detained him from
most of the sittings of the Managers.

managers will ask the House to COM

THE MANAGERS INVESTIGATIONS.
The impeachment investigation was
continued for five hours to-day. Thur
low Weed and Collector Smythe, OF
New York, were among the persons
examined. It cannot be learned
whether anything important in support
of Impeachment was ELECTED. The
managers have not yet come to any de-
termination what they will do about
reporting the results OF their investiga-
tions. The story that they have pre-
pared a new article is not correct,
Thad. Stevens has written something,
but friends to whom he has read the
manuscript say it is rather incoherent,
1t must be said that Mr.. Stevens has
been In a very feeble condition for the
past four or i've days, and mentally is
less fit now than at any other time this
winter for doing business. Whether he
will attempt to do anything with the
paper he has prepared, which substan-
tally charges high crime and misde'
meanor in the use of public patronage,
is not known. 1t certainly is not now
in shape to command dozen votes IN
the House and probably not more than
one in Committee. The managers dc
not yet express any purpose to ask
further postponement of the vote or
the articles before the Senate. Thus
far the mass of the testimony is such
as to show that the Presidents friends
were very busy IN his interest, but moi
of a nature to prove that the Senate was
directly influenced. .,
