Secretary Stanton does not resign. If his
removal was legal, lie held no Office to be re-
signed. fit was illegal, as the Senate once
decided, yet the Senate had failed to sustain
him in the Office 80 he chose to relnquish'
the place, and leave the President to settle
the matter with those Republicans Who relus-
ed to impeach him, although they voted his
removal Of Stanton to be Illegal.
TnE CoRRupTIoNIsrs. - The preliminary
report of the impeachment managers, sub
mitted on Monday by Mr. Butler, shows
clearly that there was a club to influence
votes of Republican Senators against impcaoh-
meut, and that large sum of money was
used by members OF the club about the time
of the vote. The names Of the men engaged
in the scheme are given, the chief being
Thmow Weed, and his associates being men
of like character, some of them johnson Re-
the money was used remains to be seen; and

Thurow Weed seems to be of opinion that
the alleged letter, that Senator Pomeroy coulC
be bought, was only hook baited to catcl

In explanation of the propositions made 4
myself, have this to say Senator Pomerol
either intended to dispose Of three votes-in
Guiding his own---or he was willing that hi
friends should use his name to make money
or, as some believe there was consprac,
between Butler and Pomcroy to implcate IN,

that some months since Mr.. Legett, an init

correspondent of the Chicago j"'TDdl writes /:
THE greatest mystery has always surround

story has been circulated by those who claim
to know: 1t is said that years ago he was Il
wealthy merchant in New York city, and was
engaged to Il beautiful and accomplished young
lady: but his brother, who was Ill business
with him. became his rival, and scared the
hand of the lady in question, upon which this
man hetook himself TO The wilds of Michigan,
bought some land, built a small hut, and here
he lived in the utmost seclusion. He raised
his own produce. For clothing he used nothing
but cotton bags, which he put on in every
shape Imaginable. In the winter he wore
neither boots nor shoes, always going bare
