WASHINGTON, May 2I.-The nomina-
ton of Grant and Colfax creates no en-
thusiasm in the party whatever. That
Grant would be nominated was a foregoue
conclusion, while Colfax's is considered
the worst that could be made, even worse
than Wade A prominent Radical said
tonight that such men had no chance Of
election, bat they certainly represent the
Radical party a conducted by Butler,
Sumner & Co. The admission Of ne
gro delegates is severely criticised by con
sentative Republicans.
The managers are bnsy at work endeav-
oring to find evidence for new articles OF
impeachment that Of course will utterly
fail. General Ewing was Intercepted as
to whether he knew Of Ross receiving
money, but the witness knew nothing de
rogatory TO the Senator. A telegraph Ope-
rator, from Baltimore, appeared before the
managers.
Butler has been engaged all day prying
into private kilograms. The demand Of
the managers yesterday was for all the dis
patches in several offices but some officers
OF telegraph companies having demurred,
they have partially agreed 10 designate such
kilograms as they need. A Radical gen
tleman boosted in the Capitol to-day the
managers had found fifty :elegrams indi-
eating fraud, but they have found nothing
to establish the proposition. -
Henderson in his testimony yesterday
stated that he was present at a consultation
Of Radicals on Thursday last, when Pom
roy said that conviction was sure that ne
had paper with the pledges Of thirty-fye
Senators exclusive OF Wade. Ross told
him he had not signed any paper; that he
would vote for conviction on the first arti-
Gle, and probably on the second, but had
not determined on the eleventh article. On
referring to said paper as requested, Pome-
roy admitted that Ross statement was cor
rect. Representative Schofeld, one of the
committee, interrupted Henderson, saying
they did not want to hear particulars
about the Radical secret caucus that it
had nothing to do with the case before
them. Henderson replied it did not, nor
had many other questions they had pro-
pounded to him. 1t is clear from the ies-
timony that the court were acting secretly
and in concert to depose the President
without reference to the merits of the case.
The exposure is damning to the impeachers,
and will create profound sensation.
Significance is attached BY some to a re-
mark of Edmunds in the Senate, that the
managers had right TO introduce another
article, az he is in their confidence.
Ferry, of Connecticut, hoped vote would
be taken Tuesday, and present indications
point that way.
Woolley refused, by advice OF counsel, TO
disclose TO the managers how he expended
the money, az he had explicitly stated that
none was used for impeachment purposes.
Wade recently visited clarivoyant TO
ascertain his chances for the Presidential
chair. The lady told him she could see
nothing for him, and its verifcation has
made a profound impression on old Ben,
who tonight is perfectly wOe-be-gone.
