Chronicle Of Monday says: "On Saturday
General Grant received a telegraphio dis
patch from General Candy, stating that he
had modified his orders so as 10 sanction
the proclamation of Hon. w. w. Holden,
Governor elect of North Carolina, conyen-
ing the Legislature Of that State aud au-
thorizing General Scott Governor elect of
South Carolina, to issue similar procla-
nation, the condition In both oases boins
that the proclamation shall not take effeot
until after the Omnibus bill becomes o law.
Should tho bill finally fail to become law,
of course tho proclamatiops will be Of no
effect. Tho only object in issuing them
now Is to notify members of the Legislature
|. 50 that they may be ready to meet as soon
as possible after tho bill shall become law
Aswe pointed out few days ago, this is an

BY THE ATLANTIC CABLE

PARIS, May 19.-The news OF the &C,
quittaI of johnson on the uth article
was received on Saturday evening. AL
the papers of yesterday editorialized
on the subject.
The Temps, Democratic, says: johnson
was saved by, legal forms only. He has
been dePosed in the mind of the coun-
try.
The Journal DeS Debats, OrleanIst,
says: While johnson is acquitted the
vote is such as to render him powerless
hereafter.
The La Liberia, radical opposition,
says simply that the verdict shows
that liberty Is the best guarantee Of JUS
tice.
The Constitutional, semi-officIal Im-
perialist. regards the vote as fatal to the
radical party.
The Epoque was opposed to impeach-
ment from the beginning. It blames
the Republicans for attempting to re-
move the executive on grounds so
slight, and says that great political
party could not have more clumsily
lost its prestige.
The Press Austro- Catholic, ventures
no decided opinion, but confines its re-
marks to admiration of the vitality oi
Republican Institutions which permits
the Chief Magistrate OF fifty millions
of people to be brought to trial without
bloodshed or national disquiet.

opinion that he Is not out of the woods
yet.
g. @. Fulton, editor of the Balti-
more American, is pressed by his
friends for Secretary of the Senate.
The Ohio Legislature has adjourn
ed after a session of 160 days, and the
appropriation for the pay and mileage
OF members is S115, 900. The Columbus
Journal thinks that this is something
remarkable for a retrenchment Legts-
lature, in view of the fact that the
longest session of a Republican Legis,
lature for ten years was 127 days. And
this was in 1867, when the session was
prolonged to proAide for the exigencies
of the war. Last year the appropris-
tion of the Republican Legislature for
pay and mileage was 100000.
The investigation to be made. by
the Managers into the means used to
induce Senators to vote for acqulttal, IL
is understood, is not connected with
the Republican Senators who hrst de-
clared themselves against convictions
but those who did not declare them

Rumored DecIinatIon ofGrnnt.

NEW YORK, May I9.-The Herald's
Washington dispatch says: General
Dent states that General Grant has
written a letter, which will be handed
in due time the President of the Chicago
Convention, declining the nomination
for the Presidency. In the letter Gen'l
Grant states that the only motive
which could induce him to accept the
position would be an anxiety for the
complete restoration of the Union, and
as executive OF the Nation he could aid
materially in promoting that end, but
as the object is now almost accomplish
ed, and will soon be wholly completed,
he would rather retain the position he
now holds. he however, hopes the
wisdom ofthe convention may unite on
a candidate who will do honor to the
party and good for the country.
