New YORK, May 2G.
\ Washington special saysthat it WAS
Il great Disappointment to the crowds of
listeners that Butler did not give the
names Of three Senators alluded to as
being counted on by the corruptionists
as suitable material to operate upon.
Another despatch says that no one
here hearing to-day's report believes the
President honestly acquitted. There is
more testimony than that which came
out to-day, and some Of the most DANA
gng to the President was not even al
luded to. Sunset Cox swore that he was
offered fee to engage in this Senator
buying business, but although he de-
clined to enter inUO such negotiation he
continued to act to a certain extent
with them.
The Committee on Senator Hcndcr-
sons case have taken some damaging
testimony to his honor. -Four OF the
Missouri delegates swore that he told
them he knew the President would
make a Republican Cabinet and give
all his patronage in Missouri to him for
his friends and for his party. The
Committee are now looking into some
large Indiana contracts recently let out
to friends andrelatives of Mr.. Hender-
son.
Willis Gaylord, brother-in-law of
Senator Pomeroy, whom Mr.. Cooper Of
the Treasury Department swore he was
the party who tried to negotiate for Sen
atoa Pomeroy's vote, is here, and charg-
es that the whole thing is a base forgery
without foundation. 1t is alsO ascer
tanned that in the conspiracy they used
Pom eroy's name as cypher for Sena-
tor Ross in the intention of covering up
their tracks as they went along.
The Senate met at the appointed hour.
Williams moved that the Senate pro-
coed to vote on the I'd article which was
agreed to, resulting as follows: Guilty
81 not guilty, 10. Senators Fessenden,
Fowler, Grimes, Henderson, Ross,
Trumbull and Van Wrinkle voted not
guilty. The rest voted as before.
NEWPORT, r. T., May 90.
Gen. Burnside was to-day inaugurated
Governor for the third time. The mill
tary display which is customary ON such
occasions was nearly as large as usual
despite the rain.
Chas. c. Van Zandt was reelected
Speaker of the House, and John Turner
and Joshua Alderman, Clerks. Mr.
Sherman was reelected Clerk of the
Senate. The Legislature will probably
adjourn on Wednesday to meet in Prov
idence on the first day of the coming
week for the purpose of electing an
United States Senator to succeed Gen.
Sprague.
LATER FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, May 2G.

RUTLAND, W., May 26
