The Washington correspondent Of the Balti-
more Gazette writes:
In view Of the intense interest manifested
over the whole country to anticipate, as far as
possible, the result OF the impeachment trial,
Your correspondent has prepared IN analysis
of the votes of those ten senators upon whom
it is conceded will depend the acquittal or con-
viction Of President Johnson. The following
thirty-one senators are regarded as open and
ayowed advocates of conviction, regardless OF
their oaths, and without any reference to the
law and the facts, VIZ: Cameron, Cattell,
Chandler, Cole, Conkling, Conness,- Cragln,
Drake, Edmunds. Ferry, Frelinghuysen, Har-
rill (of Mainel, Morrill, (of vermont), Morton,
Nye, Pattesfh (of New Hampshire), Pomeroy,
RAMSEY, Stewart, Sumner, Thayer, Upton,
Wade, Wilson, Williams and Yates These
thirty-one senatorial judges are regarded here
as mere politicians and ready tools Of party
that class Of men at which MIR. Stevens felt
confident he would not shake his finger in
vain, when he told them they dare not oppose
impeachment.
But there are within the ranks Of the domi-
nant party in the Senate ten other senators
who are regarded as statesmen as we'll as poll
ticians, and whose votes are by no means GER
tain for conviction-senatorS who are believed
to be determined to consult only their own con-
sciences in arriving at just conclusion upon
the law and the facts submitted to the court.
The names Of these ten Senator's are Anthony,
Fessenden, Fowler, Grimes, Ross, Sherman,
Sprague, Trumbull, Van Wrinkle and Wiley.
Any seven of these Republicans voting with the
twelve Democrats will defeat impeachment and
secure the acquittal Of Andrew Johnson.
Hence it becomes interesting to ascertain pre-
cisely how these ten senators have been voting
on all the numerous propositions pro and con
submitted to the court.
After giving an elaborate review of the sue
cessiye test votes of the trial, he adds SIT is
difficult to read the record of the ten senators
named and conclude that the President is to
be convicted"
The Springfield Republican says:
Many Of the reports and dispatches from
Washington throw doubts upon the result or
the Senates vote on the conviction OF the
President. But our private advices sustain
the Judgment we have all along expressed,
that conviction is inevitable, and will follow
not 80 much from feeling Of the Presidents
technical guilt or innocence on this or that
charge, as from the feeling that it is neces-
slty Of the political condition Of the country,
and earned by it's victim by his interference
with the legislative branch of the government,
and his trifing with the public peace. We are
assured that no more than three Republican
senators are likely, under any circumstances,
to vote for the President. These are Grimes,
Of Iowa, Van Wiukle, of West Virginia, and
Fowler, Of Tennessee. The withdrawal OF
these from the Republican vote against the
President still leaves it several in excess OF the
number necessary to q conviction. The pre-
sent week will undoubtedly witness the con-
clusion OF the whole matter-the deposal OF
one President and the institution OF another.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune, says:
The best Judges of the situation in Washing
ton have come to the conclusion, tonight that
there can be no doubt upon the result OF i'm
peachment Some have said that Senators
Grimes, Fowler and Van Wrinkle may be among
the minority; but it is now generally conceded
that upon the articles in reference to breaking
the law and swinging around the circle expedi-
ton, there will be q stout party vote. Apromi-
nent New Yorker offered wager tonight that
Reverdy johnson would vote tor conviction on
questions of law. The case will 60 into court
Monday next, and very possibly decision may
be rendered on the day following. MIR. Wade
has not in anyway anticipated his course if he
should become President. he has made no
remarks whatever on the subject, and has de-
clared that he will listen to no conversations
and receive no suggestions until after the vote
is cast. Should he be called to the chair OF the
Chief Magistrate, he will then merely appoint
his Cabinet and make no other change until
after the Chicago Convention.
POLITICAL GOSSIP.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun writes under date Of the 21st inst:
The talk among the Radicals is now that if
by any remote contingency Mr.. Johnson
should escape conviction, Congress will re-
main here until close of the presidential elec.
ton, but if, as they expect, he gives place tc
Mr.. Wade, that body will hurry up the
cakes" 80 as to leave here by the first OF July.
In this latter event it is calculated to let the
subject OF the finances and the taxes 60 by the
board until next winter.
The terms of dozen or moro of the Radical
senators expire next March, and many of the
Radical members of the House will have a
tough time in getting back None of these
gentlemen have any time to lose; they say they
cin smooth over the neglect to enter upon the
