expressing the belief that there are no Just
grounds SHOWN in the evidence or argument for
the conviction Of the President Senator Morrill,,

opinion, but Mr.. Fessenden expressed himself
ulmoved, and remained firm against the argu-
nents of Others OF the Maine delegation who
called upon him. Several other republican men,
brrs have followed Mr.. Fessenden's example,
ana is conceded among the radicals that conviction
Is failure and the case is gone. There is in

by Chase for the next Presidency kganst General
Grant was to be Immediately formed by Fessonden,
Henderson, Trumbun and other moderate republi.
