rom hundreds who never saw or heard OF
i'm until to-day. 1t is universally con-
ded that no man has ever made more
lvorable impression in public speech.
The special of the Enquirer helps swell the
rorus of the praise to the Mr.. Groesbeck's
tpeech:
Without doing injustice to others, it may
e truly said that the great soeech on i'm
eachment was made to-day by Mr.. Groes-
eck-a fact recognized by all.and the best
idges are loud in their praise of It. Mr..
.iroesbeck's voice failed after the hour of
the proposition to adjourn, but he request
I'd to be allowed to proceed, when his
voice, in a great measure, recovered.
True, it was magnificent effort, worthy
,: the great occasion which called it forth.
and will stand with the great speeches OF
the greatest orators of ancient or modern
times. Throughout the delivery, the Sem
ate was enchanted.
Frelinghuysen. who has appeared cool
spectator heretofore, lett his seat and took
a chair near the speaker. The whole body
was drawn close around there, and held
completely in hand. When he concluded,
the Chief Justice descended and congratu-
lated him.
If there was any preteXt for conviction
before, Mr.. Groesbeck has swept it away

MIR. Groe~becls's Speech.

The Washington special of the Cincinnati
Gazette compliments Mr.. GRoEsBECK's
speech. He says: SIT was in the main
ertempore, delivered in an earnest, eloquent
and dignified manner, and was in all these
respects universally considered one of the
very best efforts of the trial"
This is what the Commercial special says
of Mr.. GRoEsBECK's speech:
Mr.. Groesbeck rose to speak in the Presi-
dents defense. There was good deal of
curiosity to hear him, and he commanded
the attention of all present, on the floor
and in the galleries. During the first half
hour the people seemed to listen only to
hear what Kind of a speech he was going
to make. Most of those present had heard
active part in the trial, and had not even
examined a witness. He very speedily
changed curiosity into interest, however,
and won the homage of respectful atten-
tion, because he showed that he was pre-
pared with speech equal to the great oc-
casion. He spoke extemporaneously, only
occasionally referring to manuscript notes
on the table before him, Thus far all the
speeches of the counsel have been deliver
ed in this way, while all those of the man
ayers have been read from printed slips.
Mr.. Groesbeck made the mistake of being
too prodigal with his voice at first. He did
not know from experience how bad the
acoustic properties of the Senate Chamber
are, or he overestimated his own vocal
power in an attempt to fill it. The result
was fearful apprehension before the close
of his first hour that he would break down.
This was felt both on the floor and in the
galleries, and Mr.. Fessenden gave express
sion to it at o'clock in a suggestion that
if the speaker was unable to proceed, one

he had recovered his voice. Mr.. Groes-
beck, however, declined the profered kind
ness, and proceeded in a lower voice than
before, but still quite audible throughout
the chamber.
The speech, from the first sentence to the
last, was a splendid effort; undeniable in
its statement, almost resistless in its logic
and beautiful in its diction. No audience
has ever been more completely under the
chain of a speaker, and no speaker has ever
more eXhaustively or more ably treated
subject in the Senate Chamber. If he had
occupied eight hours instead of four, there
would have been no com plants from those
who listened. Mr.. Curtis has given the
law of the case, and Mr.. Nelson the poll
tics. Mr.. Groesbeck seemed to combine
both without losing the force OF either, and
to add occasional beauty of expression
which was entirely new to the case. His
points against the different articles were
singularly clear and conclusive.
On the tenth article, which relates to the
Presidents speech, he INDUCED in vein
of satire which was strong as Dean Swift
and pleasant as Sidney Smith. He read the
text of bill which he said would do as a
substitute for that article, proposing pun
ishment of fine and Imprisonment against
any one who shall speak disrespectfully of
Congress or its acts. This was enjoyed,
especially by Fessenden, who felt its biting
humor. and by Reverdy johnson, who

night last. Contents mostly saved. Loss

The Ironton Journal says: VIM. G. Hol-
combe and wife, newly married couple
from over in Kentucky, took a room in the
Sheridan House last week, and on retiring
at night blew out the gas. In couple of
hours the room was filled with gas. The
odor filling the house, the host with some
others set about to inquire into the cause,
and rushing into the room, the couple were
found stupid and almost suffocated. A
little more time and they would have been
dead. Let this circumstance be sufficient
to warn people hereafter.
The widow of Garry Berry, the switch
tender at the B. & o. yard, who was killed
last winter by being caught between the
cars, left these parts yesterday morning,
and took away with her the husband of an
other woman living in the same house with
two to take care OF themselves as best they
may. Where the guilty pair have gone no
one knows. Mrs. Berry is woman of
about 40 years of age, rather homely, and
has hair of reddish brown color. The
mans name we did not learn, says the
Zanesuille Signal, of the oath.
The Barnesuille Enterprise says: On
Tuesday night about o'clock disturbance
occurred at a saloon on the lower end of
Chestnut street, which will probably result
In the death of the keeper of the house,
named Louis Kadats. At the time men
toned, three young men of the town,
named John Morris, French Hunt and
Thomas Laws, visited the saloon for the
purpose of obtaining drinks. 1t is said
that Hunt had previously obtained possess
sion of Kadats' fire shovel, which he offered
In exchange for whisky. Kadats, recog-
nizing his own shovel, refused to make the
trade, whereupon quarrel ensued between
the parties, but resulted in nothing serious.
Soon after Hunt got into a dispute with an
other man, when the saloon keeper threat
ened to put them out. Hunt says that Ka-
dats put his hand In his pocket as if to
draw pistol. At this iuncture Morris
struck Kadats on the forehead with the
blade of the shovel, inficting very severe
wound near the junction of the os fronts
and parietal bones. Kadats is yet living,
but his recovery is very doubtful.

Very Much Alarmed.

Some one started the rumor at Washing
ton the other day for the purpose, doubt
less, of testing the nerves OF the Impeach-
ers, that Chief Justice CHASE would, after |
the conclusion of the arguments in the
Impeachment case, charge the Senate upon
the law bearing upon it, as is the custom
for Judges to do in cases tried before a
Jury. 1t seems to US that such a charge
from the Chief Justice would be proper
and in order. But not so think the Inn
peachers. We are told that the rumor
caused warm discussions among them
They felt that if it were true, it might dam
age the Impeachment cause seriously. To
ascertain the truth or falsity of the report,
Messrs. Boutwell, and BINGHAM, on Fri
dag evening, waited on the Chief Justice,
and when they were informed that he had
no intention of doing anything of the sort,
great load appeared to be lifted off
of their minds, and a feeling express
i've of pleased satisfaction settled down
upon their countenances.
1t will strike the reader as very strange
that the impeachment Managers should be
Chief Justice would charge the Senate up
on the law relating to this Impeachment
case, Just before the Senate retired to make
up their verdict. If President JOHNSON is
the guilty wretch he has been represented
to be-if every consideration coupled with
the welfare of the country demands his re-
moval-if the charges upon which he has
been tried have been clearly proven, and il
they constitute "high crimes and misde.
meanors"-it must be plain to every un-
biased understanding, that charge from
the Chief Justice would only make it the
more unmistakably clear that the Presi
dent ought to be removed, and that tn,
Impeachment Managers would court in
stead of dread such charge.
The alarm into which the Impeacher
were thrown by the report that the Chic
Justice was going to charge the Senate at
ter the manner that Judges charge Juries
can be accounted for upon no other reason
able supposition than that a charge from
the Chief Justice would show even in
stronger light what the evidence and tn
arguments of the Managers on one hand
and of Counsel for the President on tn
other hand have shown, that not the shad
ow of case has been made out against tn
President, and that if he should, notwith
standing, be removed, it would be a GRIM
without circumstance to mitigate it

Parsons All Right.

Hon. r. C. PARSONS, of Cleveland, wants
to be the successor of Hon. r. p. SPALDING
in Congress from the Eighteenth District.
Several days ago he had a letter addressed
to him by some Cleveland business men,
requesting him to be candidate. He con-
sented with maidenly coyness. All this
was well, but yet not quite sufficient. 1t
was necessary to have THAD. STEVENS
permission. That permission has been Sc
cured. 1t is dated Washington, April "a,
1868, and is published in the Cleveland
Leader of Monday. PARSONS, therefore, is
all right now. Some time ago it was found
necessary to get STEVENS consent to Gen.
GRANTS being the Republican candidate
for President. For an old man, who, few
months ago, was represented as ready to
fall into his coffin, STEVENS has large con-
tract on hand to depose Presidents and to
regulate the affairs of the Republican
party generally and in detail.

President .JohusO1's Friends al
Washington Exultant.

Under date Washington, April 26 (that
was Sunday night, the special of the Gin
cinnati Gazette communicated the following:
4" At no time since the trial began have
the Presidents friends been SO forward, and
even exultant, in expressing their belief of
acquittal. This is so general as to excite
much remark, and yet, in the face of it all,
the Republicans generally have some con-
fidence in conviction"
OF course, this does not settle the ques-
ton of conviction or acquittal; but it shows
that the friends OF JOHNSON, who for some
time looked upon the matter doubtingly,
while the Republicans were confident of
conviction, have become more than hope
full, while the Republicans have come to
look upon the matter as very doubtful
This correspondent has all along been rep
resenting that the conviction of the Presi-
dent was an assured thing. 1t don't look
to him SO now. By the end of the week,
the probability is that this farce-this
trifiing with the interests and the patience
OF the country-will be brought to its ter
minatiOn.
