TELEGRAPH n EW S.
Special Dispatches to the Gazette
FROM WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, May l5.-It is generally con-
coded here, in the best informed circles, and not
contradicted by the advocates Of impeachment,
that the vote will not be taken by the Senate
tomorrow unless conviction can be certainly
calculated upon; therefore if the vote is not
taken, it may be set down as a fact that the
further delay has been occasioned solely through
fear on the part of the Radicals, that the Pres
ident will be acquitted.
There are rumors, plausibly founded, that
the Managers are endesvoriug to get up new
article, but all attempts to introduce it would be
futile as the issue has been Joined and cannot
now be reopened.
The avalanche of dispatches from town meet
ings and so-called Lo-il Clubs received here,
commanding and petitiouing Senators who
have not expressed themselves to vote for con-
viction, have no effect on the parties to whom
they are addressed, who to their honor, be it
said pursue the even tenor of their way re-
CARELESS of censurc or commentator.
The Radical party of this city are making
great exertions to carry the next municipal
election, to which end "a mass meeting will
be held in front of the City Hail. tonight, and
the most notorious of their leaders will be on
hand, including several colored orators.
Senator Hendersons letter 10 the Missouri
delegation, published this morning, is the gen.
eral topic of discussion. z'-
