IMPEACHMENT.

Our Washington correspondent says that both par
ties are busy during the prevailing recess of the
High Court In attempts to bolster up their friends
the impeachment question. Ben Wade is said to be
firm in his intention to accept the Presidency dd
interim in case Of Mr.. Johnson's removal, and to
present his claims as a candidate to the Chicago
Convention for regular term thereafter. This firm
obstinacy is the occasion Of much dssensiOn
among the convictng Senators, who, for certain
reasons, are better pleased with Johnson than they
probably would be with Wade as an Executive.
Tie movement in presenting Chief Justice Chase's
name as an independent peoples candidate in case
OF the conviction OF the President gains ground
daily. 1t is, however, stated confidently that the
Chief Justice prefers hts present high position to the
uncertainties OF a Presidential canvass
