THE LAST vETo-TEAD's LAST APPEA1-THE MES
SAGE OF THE PREsDENT-ADJoURNME
The Washington correspondent of the Bait

The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Gazette under date of the goth says;
The action Of the Senate in passing the
Southern Electoral bill by 80 large majority
over the Presidents veto seems to have snr-
prised many Of the qlid n,nacs here, and specu-
iation is rife as to what is indicated by q vote
40 decisive. The vote as given was fuly
anticipated in this correspondence, and the
conspiracy to seize the Executive branch or
the Government exposed. A hope had sprung
up that certainfsenators would be found .yo-
ting to sustain the veto, but on this question
the unity Of the party organization was pre-
served. and such will be the case when che
great issue is presented-should it ever be-as
to what States shall be declared not emitted
to representation in order to justify the refu,
sal to count their votes in the Electoral
College.
THE SECOND nIpEAoHMENT-THE RECENT MES
sAaE-THE FNAL ADJOURNMENT.
The Washington correspondent OF the New
York Herald, under date Of the 18th instant,
says:
Impeachment number two is dead. Old Thad.
Stevens and Old Tom Williams, Of PennsylVa-
mia, have resolved not to call up the new artl-
cles presented q few weeks ago, osteDsibly on
would hardly enable them to be properly con-
sidered sooner than the day of adjournment;
but really because not a corporaPs guard OF
Radical members canibe induced to follow the
impeaching generals in any second crusade
against the Executive. Some Republican men,
bere declare that should 'Thad" insist upon
vote the opposition arrayed against him would
be as six to one. However this may be, it ID
well ascertained that the Great Commoner mas
concluded to let the thing slide, 80 that the
/ country will not be bothered any more BY the
lused up cry of impeachment. There are some
I people severe enough to assert that Thad him
self never intended to press his new articles,
the sole object in view being to obtain an OPP
portunity to let of speech on the subject, to
be used as a sort Of campaign do cument Andy
johnson is safe in his shoes for the remainder
Of his term.
The message Of the President, reyiving
some of the already propounded changes IN
the mode Of elecing President and Vlce-Pres'
| ident, does not seem to receive much consld-
Grafton and is looked upoa by many as an e1-
hibition of Executive humor. The proposltioIn
is generally characterized as impractlcable
and omen to greater objections than the pres.
emit system. It is said there are no means OF
getting the States together or OF organizing,
and the people would fall into inextrioable con-
fusion in the choice Of persons to I'LL the of1-
ces in question.
The adjournment question is one which now
occupies large share Of the attention OF Con-
gress, and both bodies are pushing their busi-
ness as rapidly as possible in hopes Of getting
away during the present week. There are
several measures OF import ance 10 oe stsenaeo l
to, which it is thought will consume the entire
week. The Senate, go in the habit Of spin
ming yarns indefinitely on every trivial msttel
under consideration, is the main cause OF the
delay, Tho business o., tho House would nd
init or immediate adjournment.
