WASHINGTON Monday, June %, 1863.
The Hon. Tbaddeus Stevens has prepared new
articles Of impeachment against President Johnson,
which he will report to the House as soon as the
Amendatory Tax bill is disposed Of He has written
an elaborate speech in support of these articles, and
will deliver it in the House when the articles
are offered. The articles as at present con-
stituted are four in number The first impeaches
Andrew johnson for a high misdemeanOr in vio-
lating the Constitution of the United States by
making Provisional Governments in the Southern
States without the consent of Congress- etc. The
second impeaches him for usurpatiOn of the par
doning power both in the cases Of Rebels and
of deserters from the Union army whom he
pardoned for the special purpose of enabling
them to cast their votes at pending election in
loyal State The Sd impeaches him for a high crime
in using the patronage of his Office to obStruct the
laws of Congress in the Southern States. The 4th
and last impeaches him for corrupt use of the
patronage of his Office in the elections which have
taken place within the last three years in the various
States of the Union. Mr.. Stevens has spent
a great deal of time and labor in the
preparation for this new attempt at
impeachment. lie has gone all over the investiga-
tions which were made in the first attempt at i'm
parchment and those of the late trial as we'll
and from them he has framed new indictment. 1t
may be remembered that the strongest article of the
famous eleven, and the one which Mr.. John
son feared most. was matured and written by
Mr.. Stevens. 1t is not expected that a
no
the present session. Mr. Stevens is aware of this but
says that he will bring them mp early in the next
session lie wants the truth and facts to go to the
country even if nothing further can be accomplished
The Managers have finished their labOTs in the in
vestigat0n of the charges relative TO impeachment
and the report is ready for presentation to the House
Gen. Butler had hoped TO get it before the House to
day. but the tax bill crowded it out and it will in
all probability, be made public tomorrow The
managers very reticent about it, but we are led
TO understand that it contains very startling
facts and will expose to the public view amount
of villainy and corruption seldom eQuaed.
The President sent to the Senate to-day the name
of William W. Evarts for the vacant Cabinet Office of
Attorney General Nobody was surprised, as the
nomination had been expected for the last 10 days
very exciting debate on the subject in executive
session is looked for, and his confirmation is by no
means certain. 1t is limited that Ithe Managers re-
ports will contain points not particularly agreeable
to Mr.. Evarts, and which viii not improve
his chances for a Cabinet position. He has,
however many admirers in the Senate
and all the Democrats WILL of course, support him
The nomination has another phase which is little
significant The leading Democrats of New-YOrk
and in the Senate have been urging the President
the appointment of some one more closely affiliated
with the Democracy and the Presidents policy than
Mr.. Evarts, but Mr.. johnson has steadily persisted
aud more than said, that he is but very little
indebted to that party He has since spoken more
plainly and there is good authority for the state
ment that he has threatened within the last
few days, to throw the whole influence
of the Administration against the Democracy in
bis claims to the nomination for the Presidency are
ignored at the Convention in New-York next July.
Mr. johnson has a strong party working for him, and
the whole influence of the Woolley whisky ring will
be used in his behalf. number of Republicans
favor Mr. Evarts's confirmation. They give as a
reason that Mr.. Evarts is Democrat that he
might well be allowed to go over entirely, and by
confirming him as Attorney General, they say, this
result would be secured. There is another interest
for Evarts 1t comes from his clients in New-York,
whose magnificent schemes may be advanced by
Evarts being here to lobby with Congress and the
White House.
The Presidents visitors to-day numerous
First. Secretary Seward came then, Mr.. McCulloch
and Reyerdy Johnson. Gen. Steedman and Senator
Fowler made their appearance shortly afterward
and Perry Fuller and Cutler, two of the prominent
candidates for the office of Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. were also among the throng first admitted
to an audience Wsewell was left outside a consid-
cradle time, among a number of half-breed Indians
and miscellaneous gathering of small oice-seekeTs.
The Senate, to-day, by vote of thirty to seven,
passed over the Presidents veto the bill admitting
Arkansas to representation in Congress. Garrett
Davis reproduced his old speech, slightly altered to
suit the occasion, about the length of the negros
heel and the superiority of the white man; after
which the vote taken with the above result
No Republican voted against it, Ross was more en-
phatic than usual in answering Yea. Fowler and
Henderson were absent During the morn
ing hour a discussion took place
the bill providing for the admission of
Colorado, which developed unexpected opposition
About one-third of the Legislative, Executive, and
Judicial Appropriation bill acted upon. 1t gave
rise to three or four tilts between Senators, which
were not. however, particularly brilliant, but were
rather below the high standard of the Senate. Mr.
CONFESS and Mr. COnkling tried once or twice TO be
funny. but they failed Mr.. COnness has taken the
subject of the rights of naturazed citizens in hand
and will try to obtain action on the House bill
on that subject He is supported by several Repnb-
hcan members of the House, among whom is Gen.
Van Wyck Of the Eleventh New-YOrk District. Dir
Conness moved, to-day, in the Senate that the For
eign Relations Committee be discharged from the
further consideration of the measure; but Mr. Sum
objected. delegation from New-York is here
pressing action on it, and it will undoubtedly be
brought mp in some form OF other.
