WAsHnaToN, May s10-9 P. n. "A bsolute un-
certainty exists regarding the impeachment
result. Senators. keep their own counsel.
The Star says: ..The bears in Impeachment
siock made tremendous rally last evening
and for q time had it all their own way at the
hotels and other points where transactions are
carried oS Friends of the President, who
!. were snpp5sed to know q thing or.two, were
betting wild ON acquittal two TO one, tento one.
hundred to ons. Later IN the night the bulls
rallied and swept teTar5 thing, and professed to
be particularly anxious to End any party an1-
loud to bet ON acqaittal. To-day it has been a
see-ssw operation, the bears being uppermost
one hour and the bulls next. Should the e1-
citemsnt increase in thssratio it hasin helast
forty.eightt hours, BY Tuesday it will be up to
fever heat and something over. Undoubtedly
T Tuesday win be the most exciting day in Wash
ington since the surrender of Lees army
The Express says: 'erhere is good deal OF
talk about town to-day upon the probable re-
sutt of the impeachment trial. The public
uulse is somewhat excited, but the preponder-
ance Of opinion seems o9be upon the side OF
scquittal. Agentleman Ssually well informed
upon current topics, and who has opportunity
Of knowing whereof he speaks, stated this after
noon that senators had disposed of the ques-
lion Of stanton's removal, and will make no
question shout the Presidents rightto make
the removal. The point about which they are
now concerned is in relation to the dd interim
appointment and the letter Of authority to
General Thcmas. The senators, Who are sat
isfiei that there is no cause of conviction by
reason Of Mr.. stanton's removal, are also well
satisfied that the Executive had Q right to
make the od snterias appointment. It is not
believed, however, that thls point will be con-
sidered . high crime OF misdameanor.
& In e ven. authenticated conversation the
President Is reported to have said in answer to
question regarding Bingham's suggestion
that he would not obey the Senate's mandate:
,trWhy should I not obey If the forms Of the
constitution are complied with. II senators
do net act Justly they are responsible not to
me, but the people. No, the people who hold
thasovereign power have. placed me over one
department, with all its duties and RESPONSE
biities, and have placed monitors also with
grave responsibilities and with constitutional
power to try impeachment and render judg-
ment thereon. IL they misuse or abuse this or
sny other power the people alone can hold them
to account. The people having empowered
them to try impeachment, 1t is not for the par
ty tried to set aside their judg the people
alone can settle with their agents for any abuse
Of their great trusts. =" %
