THE INTELLIGENcER's ADVICE To GRANT AND
CoLFAx.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The Intelligencer
has an article to-day arguing against the pro-
prlety of Mr.. ColfaX continuing to exercise
the functions of Speaker of the House, and
hopes that he will have the decency to resign,
since he has accepted the nomination for Vice
President 1t also publishes the order of the
President OF November IA. 1864, accepting the
resignation of General Mcclellan rendered Mo-
vember s, the day of the Presidential election,
and by implication advises Grant to resign
also on the day of election.
THE NEW IMPEACHMENT MOVEMENT.
The Boston Transcript special saws that there
is very strong feeling in both the House and
Senate in favor of reviving impeachment in
such shape as will secure conviction. 1t is
believed that ore or two new articles can be
introduced, much stronger than those now be-
fore the Senate. This is the opinion of the
Managers, as well as of many Senators. Such
Republican Senators as Trumbull are anxious,
1t is understood, to get an opportunity to rein
state themselves favorably with the party.
They have indicated the character of certain
articles, which if introduced, they could vote
for conscentiously. 1t is not improbable that
the Managers will act upon this intimation
Various obstacles which stood in the way of
successful impeachment before the meeting of
the Chicago Convention are now removed
The bitter opposition to and jealousy of Ben
Wade, which had Judgment in the House as
well as in the Senate, is removed by the nomi
nation OF Col1aX: There will no longer be any
opposltlon TO Wade going into the White
House in case of Johnson's removal. Instead
OF eXertlng his influence to secure his own
nomination for the Vice Presidency, as it was
thought he would do, Wade would now throw
IL all IN favor of the election of the Republican
ticket. 1t is the settled conviction Of a large
majority of both Houses that Andrew johnson
must be removed. The only question is How
is it to be done? If he is suffered to remain in
office Congress will be forced to remain here
all summer to keep him from using patronage
in favor of the Democratic candidates for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency. 1t is feared
that he will remove the troops from the South
ern States as soon as they are admitted to
representation in Congress, and thus leave 10y
allsts IN that section to the mercy of their en-
emies. Shrewd politicians here say that such
an act would inevitably throw the vote of a
majority of the Southern States against the
Republican party.
The Managers are in session to-day. They
have had before them for two hours. Thurlow
Weed OF New York. Collector Smythe of the
same city is waiting to be examined 1t is sur
missed that Weed and Smythe are to be exam
med concerning the raising of large sums of
money in New York, some of which, it is said.
was brought to Washington just about the
time the vote was taken on the 18th article.
OoNSUL tOR URUGUAY.
WASHINGTON, May 24-The President has
recognized Edwin G. p. Garcia as Consul of
Uruguay for the United States.

crate opinion in support of the conviction of

KILOGRAMS REFUSED TO IMPEACHMENT MAN
AYERS
The managers of impeachment have made
another requlsltlon upon the Western Union
Telegraph office for telegrams passing between
certain parties named by the managers, but
the Company has declined to make any further
exhibit of private kilograms unless they shall
be compelled to do so by due process of law.
CRETAN AFFAIRs-vIoToRIEs OVER THE TURKS
SUFFERINGS OF CRETANs IN GREECE.
According to the latest Cretan accounts,
just received here, a battle was fought on the
4th of April on the plain of Huaction, in
which 5000 Cretans repulsed vastly superior
number of Turks who were supported by reg,
ular Circassian cavalry. The English man-of-
war Trincillo witnessed this battle. On the
9th of April the Cretans achieved another VIC
tory at Rehetymus, and one at Velondake In
the latter the Turks had 400 men killed and
wounded. Sixty thousand refugee Cretan
famlIlts IN Greece were exposed to great mis-
cry. The Greek Government has SO far spent
$3,OOO,O0O to save them from starvation.
NEW ARTICLES TO BE PRESENTED.
NEW York, May 23.-Mr Stevens is conf
dent that he can frame one or two articles on
which it will be impossible not to convict
Several of the Managers are opposed to the
taking of the vote next week. The develop
meuts that have been made in the Managers
investigations are of the utmost Importance
and tend to confirm the suspicious that undue
influences were brought to bear to defeat con-
viction on the 18th article. The introduction
OF new articles will necesstate the introduce
n fn lima
The vote on Tuesday will be postponed if
there is any chance of getting in new article,
but if not the matter will be disposed of then
many Republican Senators desiring to have it
finished.
1t is reported that on Monday Manager Will
liams will introduce three new impeachment
articles, one of which assails Mr.. johnson for
the assumption of arbitrary power in endeay-
oring to organize the rebel States.
CHASE TO BE suPPLANTED BY sTANToN-PER-
HAPS.
If the President be convicted on Tuesday
bill will be introduced into Congress for such
a reconstruction of the Supreme Court as
would get rid of Chief Justice Chase under
tho rule of Ben. Wade and place Stanton at
the head of the highest judiciary tribunal.
SENATOR FOWLER FILES HIS OPINION.
Senator Fowler of Tennessee filed his opin-
ion yesterday upon the eleven articles of i'm
parchment. 1t is quite lengthy about one
udll is uSNOleu 10 Une HrSC arUcle. III occupies
eleven pages or more. The filing of this opin-
ion leaves only Senator Ross of the seven Re-
publicans required to defeat conviction upon
the remaining ten articles.
THE EVIDENCE ELECTED BY THE IMPEACHMENT
MANAGERS.
A Washington special says Mr.. Cooper's
charge relative to the letter Fl ON Pomeroy was
very explicit and receives strong color of sup
port from a document which will be very soon
made public, of anterior date to the letter in
question, signed with the genuine autograph
of 5. q. Pomeroy, and promising that in case
certain office was placed at the disposal of a
friend of Pomeroy's that he would support the
administration vote for all nominations and
vote against impeachment, if it ever came up
before the Senate. When the Senate assem-
bles on Monday the Conservatives intend to
call for committee of investigation to sift this
matter to the bottom, and the general impress
sion, even with many Radicals, is that Pome
roy cannot escape the penalty of expulsion on
the evidence as it stands. The witnesses ex-
amined were Col. Henderson, an Indian Agent;
Perry Fuller, Sunset Cox, Samuel Ward,
Treasurer Spinner and j. f. Leggett Mr.
Cox testified that he was. at dinner given to
the Presidents counsel by Wooley, but moth
ing beyond Joe Mller's Jokes revamped by
Cox, could be redollected by the witness. Hen
delson, Fowler and Ward refused to tell what
they did with the money they drew out of the
bank. 1t was used, as they said, for purposes
wholly foreign to the inquiry on foot, and was
no business of the committee
Another dispatch says Mr. Leggett testified
to the Impeachment Managers yesterday that
he never read or delivered letter to Mr.
Cooper from Mr.. Pomeroy as the former has
stated in his testimony.
Another dispatch says the details of the
Pomeroy offer to the President through Col.
Cooper will soon be made public. No one
dares send dispatch over the wires especially
abiding to whisky for fear he may be arrested
on suspicion of corruptiDg the Senate.
A witness testified before the Managers yes
terday that he gave Gen. Banks $1,000 to help
elect him to Congress
Adother dispatch says the Managers of I'm
parchment were in session yesterday, and ex-
amined several witnesses on the corruption
and bribery charges against certain Senators.
A number of very important facts were clio
tied relative to the amount of money subscrib-
ed and the manner of its disposition. 1t has
been established beyond the possibility of
doubt that strong anti-impeachment ring
was formed, and that they began their in
trigues on the first day of the trial.
Another dispatch says Perry Fuller, after
denying the right of the Managers to examine
him relative to what has been done with GER
tain money, intimated that it had been used in
organizing the new Chase party.
