Impeachment.

The conviction Of Andrew johnson is
second only in importance to the general
welfare Of the country;--to the suppression
Of the rebellion. 1t is so regarded by the
people. The result of the trial is therefore
awaited with great anxiety, and as the end
approaches, the nervous feeling that pre-
walls affords an opportunity for the circu-
lation Of the widest, and often the mos,
improbable rumors. Yesterday there was
food of these rumors, some Of which as
sumed to state positively that certain Re-
publican Senators would vote against con.
yiction. These reports, We observe, are
noticed in the reports Of the New York
gold market, and most likely they were
stated to be used there.
Since seven of the Republican Senators
can control the result, and four or FIVE, at
least, are regarded as doubtful, the final
vote can not, of course. be predicted with
accuracy, and more or less uncertainty
must therefore prevail until the verdict is
rendered; but we are able to say that moth
ing has lately occurred to change the cal
culations Of those who count upon convic-
ton as certain.
With reference to the rumors to which
we have referred, we received the follow
ing private dispatch from Washington,
last evening:
"Put no faith whatever in panic-strick-
en- dispatches. Nothing has yet occurred
to show the slightest warrant for any
doubts.

New Whisky Tax Law.

The new whisky-tax law is beginning
to be felt. Owing to the fact that whisky
is selling in New York at less than Gov
eminent tax, the Revenue Bureau has
ordered the seizure and closing up of all
distilleries there. This order has been
enforced, and one day last week there were
no dissillelies in operation in New York

A LETTER.

WILMINGTON, DEL, August Sd, 1865.
To THE EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE THE
following is from Tue N Y. TRiBusE of this
date.- a HWF
The amendment cannot any more plainly
recognize the power of the State an me
first instance to prescribe Suffrage laws,
and to confer and withhold the ballot,
whether according to any distinction OF
color, or race, or otherwise, than the same
right was exercised prior to the amendment.
Nobody disputes the original control %
the States over the suffrage.
The sentence in italic, corollary OF the ont
preceding, permit me to say, do dispute.
And believe, on the contrary, that while
the States may regulate the exercise, and
protect the purity of the voting right, they
never had "original CONTROL" that is, as
you explain 1t, right "to confer and with
hold the ballot" since the Federal Constitu-
