AUToBIoaRAPHcA1?-We yentured to suggest, last week, that certain joke of the editor of the Sentinel was open to the objection that it had no point. He replies thus:
 "Where is the third?' exclaimed the youth who received a valentine representing two donkeys, with the motto, "When shall we three meet gaainp'

clamation. On the Vice Presidency there will be lively contest with the chances apparently in favor of Vale Hamlin, Wilson Colfax and Fenton, will each obtain a good vote.
 Ex-Governor Hawley will probably be made permanent President of the Conven- tion.
 D6r The British House of Commons is laboring with Disraeli as Intellectually as Congress tugs at Johnson. Couldn't MT. Adams arrange swap of nuisances? If he could, there is no knowing what grateful people might do for him. We suspect our friends, the Liberals, would find their new executive, Dizzier, even, than the old one.
 
 B9~ The Sentinel misrepresents tho re- marks we made few weeks since regard ing the mode of appointing the Commit tees of the Senate. We favored the plan of taking the matter entirely out of the hands of the Lieutenant Governor. and making the appointments as they are made in the United States Senate. The present mode is to send Committee to the Lieu tenant Governor. suggesting certain ap- pointments, which, it is understood, he must make, or lose the power of appoint ment altogether. It was to this mode, ,pur sued at this session, precisely as it was at {ho 1oof hot o1,f I~1 ent arrangement, no one is in reality re- sponsible for the appointments; the Lieut.. Governor has just such power in the prem ises as the Committee appointed to make the compromise choose to allow him, and we notice that the Committee are apt to get important places themselves. .-'
 The Sentinel is mistaken in saying that " half dozen of the Republican Senators got together, divided the desirable Com mittees among themselves" The matter was acted on in meeting comprising near ly all the Republican Senators. In acting, however, on so important matter in ad- vance of the Tuesday evenings caucus, and before the arrival of MT. Andrews, we think their conduct discourteous, and that in not selecting him to head the Judiciary Committee they will find they have made mistake. It is to prevent just such occur rences that we desire the nominating pow CT power put in the responsible hands of the Senate itself, and the appointments set tied at the usual caucus of the Republican thereof.

WooIey before the Managers.


The Managers continued the exami-
nation of Wooley to-day. Having
taken legal advice among his friends,
who were greatly exercised over his
contradictions yesterday, he appeared
before the Committed and claimed that
all his testimony given yesterday was
void, and he demanded that It shonld
be stricken out. The demand Was
based upon the fact that the oath yes
terday was administered by member
Of he Committee, and not by its Chair
man, and therefore was illegal. The
facts were that Mr.. Bingham the
Chairman, was absent on account of
sickness, and the witnesses were
sworn by another manager.
The rules. require oaths to be
administered by the Chairman OF the
COMMITTEES. Alter Wooley had raised
this point the managers elected tenn
porary chairman, and he was again
sworn. he was them asked whether
the evidence he gave yesterday regard
ing the disposition of his money was
true. He replied that it was not, e1-
cept SO far as the statement made that
1t was not used TO corrupt the Senate.
He then refused to answer as to It's d.
sposition. Meantime the managers
received dispatch from Sheridan
Shook, in New York, to whom w cooley
testified that he had given sixteen thou
sand dollars for safe keeping, saying
that wooley put no money whatever
in his possession. Woody ia still held
for examination.
The Managers have called on the tel
egraph office 10 procure all the tele-
grams of certain class bearing on i'm
parchment and between members OF
well known rings here and their asso-
ciates in various parts OF the country,
which left this city on Thursday or
Friday last The Managers have learn
ed of another draft on New York by
| Wooley for ten thousand dollars,
Testimony was given TO the effect that
Mr.. Ross had stated to the witness
testifying that he believed the Presl-
dent clearly guilty as charged in the
18th article, and thathe should vote for
conviction on the first, second, third
and eleventh articles. He, however,
thought the first the strongest article,
involving clear infriction of the laws,
and that he should vote guilty upon II;
but then in case it failed he thought 1t
best 10 postpone the whole matter and
let 1t hang on the head of President
Johnson, and SO believing he should

first article failed. bel

Tne ThIrd Party Movement.

The talk ola third party movement
at Washington, continues in spite of
the overshadowlng interest of the Chi
cago Convention. The persons inter
ested in the matter all seem to talk of
Chief Justice Chase as the leader, but
just how far he encourages such talk
and approves what seems to be the
contemplated action, is not known. 1t
may be said, however, that no third
party by whomsoever led can enroll
Senators Fessenden, Grimes and Trum-
bull among its members. These gen.
tlemen, as there is the best authority
for stating, are all for Grant, and en-
terrain no other political purpose than
TO do what in them lies for his success
on the Chicago platform during the
coming campaign. They have no DIFF
ferences with the Republican party on
any leading questions, except the Presi-
dents guilt unoer the impeachment
articles presented by the House, and
are as strong now as ever in the faith
and conviction that the well-befng and
prosperity ofthe whole country will be
best promoted by the wise carrying ont
OF Republican principles.

TIE seven wise men OF Greece were
the authors of seven wise sayings that
were inscribed upon the temple at Del

those Republicans who voted against
impeachment doubtless esteem them
selves, might desire to have these copied

Senate chamber. For instance, for Mr..
Fessenden, solon's saying, "know

IT has demonstrated that despite the
detection OF one.eIghth of the Repub-
lican Senators, the President holds
office by frail tenure. There is pos
sibility that he may yet be fund guilty
on one of the remaining counts of the
Indictment; or that final action may
from time to time be postponed, and the
sword of judgment be kept dangling to
temper folly and audacIty with the
evcr-present dread of speedy punish
ment. Although it was generally sup
posed that the eleventh article would
command larger vote than any other,
some of the Senators who voted against
it might still favor conviction on other
charges, as 1t contains an allegation OF
criminal intent in Johnson's early
speeches against Congress, which is not
embraced in The first nine articles.
There is reason to expect that at least
one Senator who voted for acquittal
on Saturday will vote for
conviction hereafter. An accidental
or temporary change may happen at
any time through illness or absence,
and permanent change may be effect
ted through the admission OF new Sem
ators from the Southern States. In the
natural order of events there will soon
be accessions from Arkansas and other
Commonwealths. Whether they should
be permitted vote on Impeachment has
already become subject OF discussion.
Democratic or Conservative journals
denounce in advance the idea that they
should participate in the decision, be-
cause they have not heard the evil
dence or the arguments. On the other
hand, it is alleged that at least one
Democratic Senator has been admitted
since the impeachment proceedings
commenced, that the testimony and ar
guments have all been faithfully report
ed and printed, and that precedents
in the proceedings of ordinary courts,
as we'll as in the impeachment records
of England, could be found to author
lie new Senators to participate in the
decision of the present trial. Mean.
time the Managers have announced in
the House of Representatives that they
do not give up the case. They have OBJ
tanned authority to institute inYestiga-
ton OF allegations that corrupt or inn
proper means have been, employed to
Influence the determinations OF the
Senate, and the country will anxiously
await the result OF their inquiries.
They have also preserved the right to
present, Mt any time before final judg-
ment, additional testimony and new
charges, and the Constitution specially
enumerates bribery and corruption"
IN Its catalogue of impeachable of
| fenses.
