be remembered that, according to the Washing
ton correspondents, this exemplary Roman"
in the agony of his vote on Impeachment, was
consOled with an assurance from "high author
city" that the President would instantly, upon
his acquttal, send to the Senate the names of
seven of our most illustriOus statesmen as men,
bers of new Cabinet Nay, more, the reporter
of the Associated Press in Washington, who is
generally under the highest state of "inspira-
