WASHINGTON, D. c., May LITTLE
of the desperate political gam
blers, the impeachers, is unparalleled.
Fooled and defeated in their purpose of re-
moving President johnson, and Overiurn-
ing the government through the honesty
and lirmness of Fessenden and his honor
able associates, they are still bent on mis-
chief Brooks, in The House. boldly
charged the managers then sitting in the
basement Of the Capitol, with conducting
Star Chamber investigation, and were con-
eertiBg other measures to consummate
their designs.
1t is true they have re-opened the i'm
parchment case, for BY their authority AZ
managers thereof, although the case is
closed, they summoned a member of the
Presidents household, and others, to-day,
60 learn if any influence had been brought
to bear upon any Senator to operate upon
their votes upon impeachment Why this
person, who Is also correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, predicted in advance GER
tain Senators opinions against impeach-
ment, which turned out correct, and whence
he obtained his informatior-t sole OBJ
ject being to implicate the President aud
lay the foundation for future accusation
against him.
They also Issued summons for Eyarts,
because he likewise boldly avowed that he
knew the President would be acquitted, and
named the Radical Senator's who would so
vote. Eyarts had gone to New York, and
was beyond their reach.
improbable and outrageous rs is the
proposition, Forney and others az last re-
sort to convict the President, are urging
their fellow eonspirators to postpone the
vote to admit the Southern States, and thus
carry the measures through, but Chase can
block the game, as no Senators can be sworn
except by him.
They will then hardly do this, as il is
a desperate expedient; but il is freely can
vassed, and the belief has been quite gem
eral to-day that there would be no vote
taken on Saturday. A number of leading
Representatives are DESTROYS, however, that
action should not be further postponed,
but strong effort will be made 10 post
pone if conviction is not assured, which
now seems impossible.
The report that Senator Henderson will
vote for the eleventh article is absurd. lie
dined at one o'clock with Chase yesterday,
and the Radicals have magnifed so simple
a thing into a magnificent reception, at
which all the doubtful Senators were pres
ent.
Eastern and Southern States are repre-
scented to be almost unanimous for Han
cock for the Presidency. The Charleston
Mercury debates for him and the delega-
ton Of that and all Southern States will be
for him. The Virginia delegation is I'M
instructed, but Hancock is the most &C
ceptable. No name but his is spoken off
political circles in that connection.
Special to the Louisville Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE influences
brought to bear in order to swerVe certain
Radical Senators from their duty to the
Constitution and 10 the country are great
and continuous, but they are unaYailing.
In fact they serve only to make the Sena-
tors, 80 followed and annoyed, still firmsr
and more determined in the course they
have resolved to pursue. They Justly
think themselves insulted, and their pride
and slef-respect, as well "a their sense of
duty, are rudely awakened.
Chief Justice Chase and Others are
ruled out of the Radical party for alleged
detection. The party, however, may rest
assured that it will never have the pleas
ure of ruling out another Of its men equal
TO him in intellect and power. II has none
such 10 rule out. Chase has been the Rad
ical giant. Conservative Senators attended
his social reception yesterday, and the as
semblage was a very brilliant one.
The detection OF the Chicago Tribune
upon the subject Of impeachment is a ter
ri5le blow to the Radicals here. 1t falls
upon them like the blow of a trip-ham-
mer. 1t was entirely unexpected. No one
was prepared for it. The Tribune is by
far the most influential and widely-circu-
lated Of all the Radical organs of the
Northwest, and, until lately, it advocated
Impeachment earnestly and vehemently,
but it has suddenly reversed its course for
reasons which | presume it has explained.
FOrney and Gen. Sickles have hurried off
for Chicago TO see what the thing means.
and | have no doubt that they are prepared
TO offer strong inducements 10 the proprie-
tors of the Tribune to put their paper back
upon its old track, but ] don't see how they
can, under the circumstances, hope to ac-
cOmplish anything.
Senator Grimes illness, even if it shall
prevent him from giving his vote in the
Impeachment case, will be immaterial to
the final result. There are enough without
him to defeat the Impeachment, even
counting Wade and Howard "a voting. If
the question be taken on Saturday, the
President will triumph, and, if it be taken
at any subsequent day, lie will triumph,
unless the incredible outrage Of admitting
the votes of the newly-elected Southern
Senators shall be perpetrated, and do not
believe that there il Radical audacity
enough in all Washington city to perpe-
trate il. .
There are rumors ahoat Of all sorts Of
deyilment and Conspiracies among the i'm
peaehers. They are certainly desperate,
and, in their mad desire 10 compass the
conviction of the President and complete
their revolution-wOrk, they will stop at
nothing. Brooks openly charges that
caucus or cabal is in progress in the base
ment of the Capitol, and that the impeach-
ment managers are coEoOcting additional
schemes for the overthrow of the govern
ment.
