lated with the greatest rapidity These rumors even
INCLUDE Senators Van Wrinkle and Fowler and
the radicals lind some consolation In the confident
assertion, whispered among themselves with signif-
cant snakes OF the head, that resolution will soon
DE onered In the House, authorizing the Board OF
managers 10 institute investigation into the CIR
cumsances connected with the votes OF three Sena-
tors mentioned, and that within thirty days the OBJ
noxious trio will be expelled. These rumors are, OF
course, without the least foundation in truth. and
originated simply in the spenetic cabals OF the
radicals.
AS soon as the result of the vote was known
many persons proceeded towards the White
House In expectation that some demonstration
OF rejoicing would occur there, but on finding the
doors OF the Mansion closed and no indication Of
uhusuai proceedings they slowly and doubtfuy dis
persed, leaving the White House and its sur
rounding grounds to its accustomed quiet and
repose. few of the Presidents friends called
upon him to congratulate him ON his escape from
the tolls OF the impeachers so far az the eleventh
article was concerned. The President received
them with MS wonted dignity and cordality, eX-
pressed MS thanks for their good wishes, but not a
word escaped MIN derogatOry to the men who but a
FEW hours before had pronounced him guilty of high
msdemeanor on string Of vague assertions, none
OF which were proved in evidence or regarded as Of
men's. Neither did the President utter word of
exultatlon indulge in the slightest menace against
his political enemies. Ben Butler himself could have
discovered nothing in the department. of Mr.. johnson

pang OF defeat. After q short time spent
In conversation the friends left, and Mr..
Evarts was admitted to the President and
remained with him for half an hour. 1t has been
favorite, and has been regarded as potent argu-
ment in favor OF cOnvicting the Pres dent that the
most fertile imagination was not able to conceive the
great injury he would do reconstruction the num-
ber OF official radical heads he would strike off, and
the amount OF general breakage he would
commit upon the constitution and the
laws, II he were allowed to 60 scot free
of punishment on the pending articles. No person
who could have seen the President on this day. that
has demonstrated the impossibility Of his con
victiOn, could have believed that he contem-
plated the adoption Of any unusual course OF
action in consequence Of his acquittal. There
is the highest authority for saying that the ofdcal
course Of the President will be precisely the
same as it has been heretofore 80 far as relates to
the principles for which he contends If any change
should be observed 1t will be rather in his attitude
towards Congress, the differences between which
and himself he will doubtless seek to diminish as
much as possible.
The project Of Immediately admitting the
new Southern Senators is being seriously
considered by some of the insanely wild
radicals What yesterday was only spoken
Of as something visionary, something SO superla-
lively improper as to be unworthy OF moments
serious thought, is now not only being discussed,
but entertained with considerable favor. The object
of this sudden admission of representatives from
the newly reconstructed regions is openly pro-
claimed to be in order to secure votes
enough to insure conviction. This may seem
incredible, but is quite q fact nevertheless.

At sunset on each Saturday IL is customary for the
Marine Band to play for an hour and half on the
grounds in the rear of the Executive Mansion, at
which times the citizens assemble there to enjoy the
beauty Of the grounds and the pleasure OF ls-
tening to the music. This afternoon the White
House grounds were densely crowded, in the hope
that the President would appear and, perhaps, say
something. The people fingered near the mansion
and kept their attention closely fixed upon the bal
cony, but the President failed to appear, and the
assembage quietly dispersed. About half-past ten

persons who paid him the compliment he stepped to
the window and thanked the band for the pleasure
they afforded him.
