HE DARED TO RE HONEST.

When the Radical olfice~h0lders and
ofice-seekers at Washington came to the
conclusion that Grant was their only
chance Of success in The coming Presi-
dental election, and set themselves to
work to Great sentiment in their party
in favor of his nomination, the New
York Tribune was Mortified, and stoutly
insisted that there should be no abandon
ment of principle for expedieney; that
Chief Justice Chase was the true repre-,
sentative of Republican principles, and
that he should be the Standard bearer of
that party in the contest of next fall
But the Chief Justice has dared to be
honest, and to discharge his duty as an
honest man in the effort of the Radicals
to degrade the President and destroy the
government, and so the Tribune comes
out squarely for Grant 1t is not con-
tended that Chase has abated an iota Of
his Republican principles, advocated
through almost a lifetime ofpublic SER
vice, but he has dared to be honest and
that is fatal to his Presidential preten>
sions with the men vino q few months
ago were the most Outspoken in favor of
his nomination by the Chicago COnven

THERE is great deal Of blatherskite
about the votes Of Senators sitting as
triers in a court Of impeachment, rep.
resenting their constituents The tele-
graph wires we're kept hot for a week
with instructions, appeals, threats and
denunoiations from furiods clubs and
committees to Senator's Suggestions
were even made that Senators should re-
sign in the event they could not vote as
the sentiment of their constituent was
represented to be The flimsey excuse
for Wade course is that he simply voted
in behalf Of the majority of the people
of Ohio.
Now, all this is error In the first
place, the Senate, even in its Legislative
capacity, is a body intended not to repre-
sent the people The tenure Of seats in
it, the age Of members, and other features
in its constitution, shows.that il was in
ter Red as a check upon the evanescent
opinions Of the hour formed in passion.
Ii is, Go use homely figure, the holds
back horse in the governmental team
It's members are supposed to be in posi-
ton superior to the demands Of popular
sentiment, and from which they can
calmly view and decide how much Of it
is to be infused into the legislation Of the
country. Much more is this true, when,
in a great emergency Senators assume
the character Of Judges Then the writ
ten line of duty aud the dictates OF pro-
priety alike require they should put popu-
lar clamor behind them, and look only to
the law and the testimony.

NEW YORK DISPATCHES.
Ordered Back 10 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
fed by the Managers. etc, .tf.


New York, May 20.-The Board OF
Health at a meeting yesterday, ordered
back to quarantine the brig Dirago, which
arrived at this port on the 10Th inst, on
the ground that there had been, previous
to her departure from Matanzas, a con-
tagious disease on board, of which two
persons died. t.. ..t
The Tribune's Washington dispatch states
that j. c. Dunlevy, of Day ton, Ohio, yester-
day testified before the managers that he
vouched for Wooley at the bank, and that
he, Dunevy, had been sent by Wooley to
Judge Blaekman, Of Ohio, Offering him
$25, 900 if he (BIackman) would use his
influence 10 defeat the conviction Of
the President, which Blackman de-
clined Wooley testified to spending
money in the interest of a client
in giving dinner parties at which
MessTs. EvaTts, Grosbeck and 8. S. Cox
were present He accounted for $4,000 of
5000, but declined answering as to the
remainder. On being placed into custody,
he stated that he had sent the money to
Sheridan Shook, in New York. which was
a contradiction of his former statement,
that be had sent il to Peter Scwab, of Gin
cinnati. It is stated that a dispatch was
received from Shook stating that Wooley' .
statement is a sheer fabrication. He will
be further examined to-day.

THE STAR CHAMBER INVESTIGA
TION-BUTLER'S BRUTALITY.
Special to the Louisville Courier.

Special TO the Louisville Courier.
WASHINGTON, May I9.-The course o
the managers star chamber investigation
is audaeious. Butler conducts the pro-
ceedings with brutality and insolence.
Yesterday, Perry Fuller was compelled to
resent his insults, and to-day he was even
more offensive in the examination Of Chas.
WoOlley with reference TO the alleged cor
rupt Influences brought to bear on Senators.
Woolley answered all the questions but
that concerning discussing So, 1000, for
which he drew draft on a Cincinnati
bank last week. He disputed The right OF
the managers 20 pry into bis private BUSH
ness, but stated the transaction was purely
of a business character, and had moth
ing to do with Impeachment. IL the
House had not adjourned so early
Butler would have had him be
fore the bar to-day to answer for his con-
tumacy, and avows the purpose TO have
him held until he does answer Woolley
il credited with the charge OF the Western
whisky Interests here, and il is suggested If
the managers press The witness too close
they may get into some secret Of the inia-
nous whisky ring which is mainly COM
posed Of Radicals. Bntler attempted TO
bully and browbeat Woolley, but was de-
cidedly wOrsied in the contest.
There is authority for stating that several
of the managers are provoked at the course
of Butler, who pursues the investigation
recklessly, a. they are saii6ed il will fizzle
out.
The press reports OF sttrtlingldevelop-
ments connected with the investigation are

CHASE AND TIE PRESIDENCY.

CHASE AND THE PRESIDENCY
The Radicals hate Chief Justice Chase
most cordially since he would not prOsti-
tute his exalted position to the demands
Of the impeachers. They are doing every
thing they can to injure him with his
party friends This is done because they
fear his influence may be very much in
their way. Ifhe should be a candidate,
he would damage Grant, the butcher,
terribly. The Washington corresponr
dent of the indianapolis Journal writes
under date Of the 10Th inst as follows
"Night before last, Chief Justice Chase
invited Hon. ii. s. Bundy, member Of the
thirty-ninlh Congress from Chic, 10 call
upon him, and stated that he had some i'm
poriant matters TO talk about. Mr.. Bundy
having long shared the unbounded conf
dence Of Chief Justice Chase, and being
heretofore his firm supporter and personal
friend, accepted the invitation. During the
interview Mr.. Chase told Mr.. Bundy that
il was his intention 10 become a candidate
for the Presidency on the Democratic ticket
aud not succeeding thus he should enter the
arena as an independent candidate against
General Grant. OF his own success be said
there could be no doubt The Impeachment
would fail, and thus failing would divide
the Republican party, and statesmen
like Trumbull, Fessenden, Henderson,
Grimes and Fowler, would be recognized
as the head Of one division of the Repub-
lican party, and these FIVE men, he said,
had pledged themselves, not more than
ten days ago, that they would stand by and
support him in this movement. The Chief
Justice gave Mr.. Bundy his views in full
Of this movement, speaking very confident
ly as TO its success, and predicting the i'm
mediate and certain downfall Of the Radi-
Gals as represented by the advocates OF
impeachment. This treason on the part OF
the Chief Justice 30 astounded Mr.. Bundy
that he at once communicated what had
been said TO the leading Radicals here.

HISTORY OF THE ELEVENTH. AR.


tits very evident the impeachers regard
ed the eleventh article as the strongest OF
the series, and hence it was made the test
on the 10th inst. On the ID of March,
when the managers had prepared and
agreed upon by them, Mr.. Stevens, in a
speech advocating their adoption, said
By some unaccountable misunderstand-
ing, the article which | hold in my hand.
and which we may call ''one and a half
has been dropped out, for | do not find il
in the articles in distinct language | pro-
pose il as an amendment. Mr.. Stevens
then read substantially the eleventh ar
ticle of the series. This charge is not
here contained in the articles reported by
the Committee and unless It can be in
serted there can be no trial on It, Ii
there be she@d lawyers, as l know there
will, and caviling judges, and if without
that article they do not acquit him, they
are greener than ever | was when | COM
menced to practice at the Court of Quarter
Sessions. If that article be inserted it
will show both the removal and the at
tempt TO defeat the reinstatement, and al
though the Senate should decide the other
charges in his favor, how could he escape
from this one Ii is worth all the others
put together"
The article was adopted on the Sd
of March, substantially as presented by
Mr.. Stevens in his speech. He regarded
the other articles as mere clap-trap,
upon which the President could not be
convicted. The impeaehers thought as
he did, and hence they made the eleventh
the test article -
