AlT. Trumbul, of Illinois, was in much
4he same position, but was more Indifferent
to the taunts and jeers of the irnpeacher'
! thar Mr.. Henderson. The Illinois Radi-
cal GOBgressmen are, however, very severe
on TrumbuIl. MessTs. Judd and Cook
have had him in charge for some time, and
have repeatedly informed the other mem
bers that no doubt need be entertained
that Trumbull woald go for conviction,
when the time came 70 vote. eis-s. ..''i. i, ,
As regards Mr.. Fessendeh, he has been
let alone by the Maine delegation and
others, and only submitted to-day, for a
short time, to a criticism from Theodore

8Il PUBLIC MEETINGS Called FOR. o.
In furiherance Of impeachment, it was
proposed to get up popular demonstrations.
Accordingly New England Governors and
editors have been telegraphed 10 call them.
The Rhode Island Senators still being
absent, Gov. Burnside has been telegraphed
to propose a mass meeting at once in Prov
idence, ard one has been suggested in Port
land, Maine, toinhuence Fessenden. There
is no doubt, whatever, of the telegrams
having been cent for this purpose. ...i
The Gazette's correspondent claims that
f'Johnson's friends and the boiling Repub-
lioan Senators admit that delay till Satur
day will, through the force Of public opin-
ion, secure conviction" On the other
hand, the Commercials correspondent says ::
/ ."As soon ss the adjournment took place
the effect Of the postponenient until Satur-
day was generally discussed, and ii was
claimed by each party as a substantial tri
umph. The friends of the President de-
clared that the impeachers were not willing
TO risk vote to-day, even If Howard had
been present; while postponement until
Saturday, they insisted, merely meant fur
ther posIponement until after the Chicago
Convention, for it was not agreed TO take
vote on Saturday, but merely to adjourn
until that day" ''.' ''.
The correspondent Of the Cincinnati En-
g1tirer furnishes the following: . a
The vote on impeachment having been
postponed, rich scene followed in the
Senate, explaining the animus which led TO
the postponement. A motion TO adjourn
was objected to as an unnecessary delay of
legislative business. Senator Drake
let the cat out of the bag, to the
great amusement of the Democratic side
of the Chamber. He contended that the
Senate was in no proper frame of mind to
transact Legislative business, and that the
lemoralized condition of Senators rendered
them unfit for the serious consideration of
business The looks of Sumner, Wilson,
Conkling, Chandler and other Radicals
during this laundering expose of their true
condition was most ludicrous. They could
not get Drake down, and the Democrats
kept up the fun by soberly inquiring what
the difficulty was, and why they were thus
troubled. Poor Drake little dreamed how
ridiculous he rendered himself and de-
moralized the impeaChers." .I aa
