WASHINGTON, May 23, 1868.
The Impeachment Managers and Their In.
vestigatiOns.
II is understood now that the impeachment Mama
gers have under consideration the question whether
they shall report progress to the House on next
Monday, in relation to their Investigations into the
supposed corrupt influences that were employed in
persuading certain republican Senators to vote for
acquital on the eleventh article wait until the In
vestigaton is entirely completed which it is thought
will be within the next fortnight A majority Of the
Board is said to be in favor of reporting on Monday
There can be doubt whatever that several Of the
Impeachment leaders of the House have drawn up ad
ditiOna articles to be exhibited agans the President
(Thad Stevens among the number) one or
two of which are said to be based upon what
is claimed as the usurpatlons Of Andrew Johnson in
the establishment of provisional governments in the
rebeious States. 1t is believed that great number
Of republicans in the House are emphaticaly Op-
posed to bringing forward any new charges against
the President unless something should be eliminated
by the Board OF Managers in their present nquis
tiOn that could be construed beyono the possibility
Of doubt as high crime and msdemeanor.
The COOper.POmerOy Affair.
The Cooper-Pomeroy matter is not yet settled and
promises to relieve the dulness which will supervene
after the settlement of the impeachment verdict on
In position which he intends to open Pemeroy the
moment the latter attempts to explain how his name
happened to get mixed up with the impeachment
investigation and attempts to escape from the impu-
tation record against him by throwing the odium
on Cooper. IL is not expected that the Managers
will give the matter any further attention, as 1t i'm
plicates no Senator who voted for acquitta.
Reported Seizure Of the British Minister'S
Dispatches.
1t Is said that among the telegraphic dispatches
seized by the Board Of Impeachment Managers were
several cable dispatches sent by the British Minister
to his government 1t is further stated that the
nOuncement that Ben Butler had taken possession of
all private kilograms sent from this city since the
Friday evening preceding the vote on the eleventh
article, called to the recollection of Mr. Thornton
that included in the number of dispatches so seized
might perhaps be certain messages sent by him to
the British government and on making inquiry this
was found to be the case. Rumor has it that an in
cipient mbroglio is plainly discerned by those who
have had an opportunity of learning all that has
transpired in the matter No better authority than
rumor, however, can be found 70 the story.
Rumor About Senators Trumbull and Fessen.

story has been industrOusy circulated here
within the past few days that Senator Trumbull
would certainly vote for another article, the charac
ter Of which he Indicated, If it introduced by the
Managers. Senator Fessenden also said to favor
the introduction Of some other mpeachable offences;
but the entire story is Of those fabricated bulle
tins which the impeachers constantly transmitting
from here all the country to keep alive the hope
among their friends that the conviction OF the
President is not yet impossible The whole clamor
and fierce outcry against Senators who refused
to vote for conviction and thereby prevented the

simple explanation that there is no money to any
amount in the radical treasury 10 conduct the Pre-
sdentia campaign The progressive party has been
living so fast for the past seven years that 1t
neglected to provide adequately for such cOntin-
gency as now presents itself. Money and official
patronage were never before so coveted In fact,
desperate is the desire to retain power that two
thirds of the extreme would remove George
washington if he stood in their way at this parcu-
lar time
The Inst Witnesses Examined.
The impeachment Managers were in session at the
Judiciary Committee room of the House to-day,
examining witnesses and overlooking private cor.
respondence. Every effort is being made to backen
the character of one more republican Senators
who voted the acquittal Of the President on the
eleventh article, with n view OF compelling them to
vote for convection on the second article. Severa
witnesses were examined, among them Thurlow
Weed, who was before them for two hours; Henry A.
Smythe, Collector of the Port of New York; Sheridan
Shook, Collector Of Internal Revenue at New York.
and John E. Rsley Deputy Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. Subpenas have been issued for good
many other witnesses throughout the country.
Movement to Induce General Grant to Resign.
strong pressure is being brought to bear upon
General Grant to induce him to resign his commits
son and it Is hinted that the movement Is counte-
nanced at the White House. This pressure is not
shared in by the republicans. who desire that Grant
shall remain at the head Of the army until the last
moment and they advise him to withhold his resig.
nation until the first week IN November next.
Radicals Dissatisfied With the Chicago Plat.
form.
good many Of the radicals here are expressing
dissatisfaction with the Chicago platform, particu-
larry with theplank relating to negro suffrage. They
ay great deal more danger to the integrity OF the
party is to be apprehended from halfway trimming
measures than bold announcement of determina-
ton to press universal suffrage to its legitimate con-
clusion, and embrace North and South at the same
time. The extreme men say they are sick of a party
that has not courage to hur Johnson out of the
White House and make straightforward avowal Of
the principle of equal rights which is the very life
essence OF the party.
