1.-THE GREAT CRIMINAL

The impeachers must feel utterly dis
pirited now that the Senate has indicated
its purpose to throw doubt on the fact that
our glorious country has produced the
"greatesi criminal Of This or any other age"
a. Mr.. Logan styles an individual who was
once Mayor Of the town of Greeneyille.
who subsequently became Governor of
Tennessee, then United States Senator, and
finally reached a still more. elevated posi-
tion. Says the New York Times;
As our happy country has already the
tallest mountains, the longest rivers, the
biggest iackasses, the lOndest ranters and
the highest waterfalls, it is but proper that
we should possess the greatest criminal.
IL would round off things nicely, and would
make fine point for orators in their Fourth
of July orations. Stevens showed that our
great American criminal was far worse
than Judas Iscariot-but the language he
used was 80 shocking that we are unable to
quote it. Boutwell, showed that he was
worse than the monster Caius Verres Lo-
gan showed he was worse than CaiIgnla or
Nero, and other members showed him to
be worse than Henry VIII, Charles l., or
James III. As these names comprise about
the entire list of great criminals known
10 Ordinary Congressmen, aud as our great
American criminal is worse than any oi
them-worse even than Sll of them rolled
into one unspeakable monstrosity-it fol-
lows that the great republic is nov ahead
Of the world in this particular "a it for
merly was in all others. Happy country
which is never lacking in great and learned
orators to remind us Of the pride-inspiring
fact .... .... f.. ...t t.. ...

BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION.
The Kind of Evidence the InPeRch-
ment Managers arc Taking.

The Kind Of Evidence the ImpeRch-
Inent Managers are Taking.
Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, May lS.--The managers
proceeded with the examination Of wit
nesses to-day, in pursuance Of the resolu-
tion Of Saturday afternoon, authorizing
investigation a. 10 the alleged attempts TO
influence the votes Of Senators upon inn
peachment. The witnesses examined to-
day were Perry Fuller, Esq, Hon, ID. w.
Voorhees,, General Thomas Ewing, Jr., and
w. S. Huntington, of the First National
Bank. The three first named were in
terrogaled with reference 10 a conversation
with Senator Ross, but il does not appear
that any proof was adduced TO warrant the
imputation that any improper propositions
were made, or that any Of these Witnesses
did affect the action Of Mr. Ross.
General Ewing was asked il he did not
visit the Senator at his rooms on Friday
evening last, and in reply stated that he
called and inquired for the Senator, and
was informed by one Of the ladies of the
house that Mr.. Ross had just gone out,
General Ewing was asked what else the
lady said 10 him. He replied that she said
she was very much annoyed at the report
that abe had attempted TO influence the
vote Of Senator Ross; that she had said
nothing to the Senator on the subject Of i'm
peachment, nor had he to her, and she did
not know what his vote would be; that
none Of her acquaintance had urged her to
speak TO Mr.. Ross, except a Radical mem
ber of Congress, Mr.. Julian, who had
requested her 20 beseech the Senator to
vote for conviction. General Ewing fur
ther testified that at the conclusion Of the
conversation, Senator Ross returned, and
the latter and himself had brief oonver-
sation, in which reference was had 10 the
impeachment articles, but no attempt was
made by the witness 90 induce the Sena.
tor 10 vote one way or another.
The purport Of the testimony of Messrs
| Voorhees, and Fuller was that no attempts
had been made to induce the Senator L
vote for aoquiual, 30 far "a they were ad
| vised
Mr.. Ewing and Mr.. Fuller are old ac
| quaintances and intimate friends Of Sena

the rRIBUNE ON THE SITUATION.

Perhaps the opinion of the New York
Tribune in regard to the situation in
which acquittal on the eleventh article
leaves the impeachment question, is en-
titled to as much, nay more, cOnsidera-
ton than that to be delivered from any
Radical source. It is briefly, but con.
clusively expressedin the following para
graph in the issue of the 1SthI ai'sH
Welil Mr.. johnson remains in the
White House. The eleventh was deliber-
ately, and we doubt not judiciously, selected
as the article that would command most
votes. This failing, all fail. There may
be those who deem it wise and well to ad.
NIT Senators from the reconstructed States
and force verdict of guilty by their votes
but we cannot concur. 1t might have been
well to defer impeachment until those States
should be represented in the Senate; but
having initiated il, we think it would, not
do TO admit new Senators to vote upon il
after the testimony was taken and the ar.
gument closed. -
