A LOOK THROUGH A RADICAL
EYE-GLASS.
Probable Failure Of Impeachment
An AntI-TariH Wall from the North

Probable Failure of Impeachment
An AmtI-TariH Wall from the North
west.
From the Chicago Tribune, May 9th.
The unwelcome intelligence comes from
Washington that johnson may not be con-
victed and removed. 1t is asserted that
Mr. Fessenden has publicly announced that
he is preparing an argument showing why
. the acting President should be acquitted
upon the first three articles he regarding
the others as of no account. There are
other Republican Senators who, it is
alleged, agree with Mr.. FesseAden, and
who will vote against a conviction. There
are enough of these Republican Senators,
it is feared, with the Democrats, to prevent
conviction.
Our private dispatches from Washing
ton for several days have been pointing to
the same untoward result, and though
there is no positive knowledge as TO the
votes of the Senators whose names are so
freely used, yet the probabilities are that
in case two or three Republican Senators
Of ability and high standing oppose con-
viction, Others of smaller caliber will shell
ter themselves behind these, and by their
votes aequit Andrew Johnson. 1t only
requires seven Republicans voting with the
Copperheads to defeat impeachment.
1t is further stated in the dispatches and
private letters that prejudice against Wade,
who would become Johnson's successor. has
very much TO do with the disinclination to
convict. Fessenden is known to bitterly
dislike Wade. If it were not known what
Senator was to Become Johnson's successor,
there would be little doubt of the oonyic,
ton of Johnson.
The special friends of Mr.. Wade have
been hasty in disposing of the future. Three
months ago Mr.. Wade was Senator whose
successor, Mr.. Thurman, had been elected,
and who had but an unexpired session to
linger on the public stage. The moment
impeachment became a fact, his import
ance grew apace. He was President in
the future. His friends determined that
the Chicago Convention should nominate
him for the Vice Presidency.
This ring, in its zeal, has not had the
decency to wait until Wade was President
before they have selected from their own
number Secretary of the Treasury in the
new Cabinet, under whose auspices the
Republican party will be converted into a
mere manufacturers association to plumber
the public.
But there has been another piece of mis-
chief going on, in addition to these
schemes, which has done much harm We
refer to the conspiracy to increase the
tariff tax on the consumers of imports.
Wade is believed to be the head center .
Of the movement
If impeachment shall fail, and the great
criminal escape ejectment from the White
House, the country may thank the Office
hunting i" friends" of Wade who had par
celed out his patronage, and that Eastern
ring who had whetted their teeth for a
deeper bite into the flesh of the people.

ruE sTATn CONyENTION.

From the announcement appearing in
our columns this morning, it will be seen
that TUESDAY THE NINTH OF JUNE, has
been fixed by the Central Executive Com
mittee for the meeting Of Democratic
State Convention IN THIS CITY. To this
body the various counties Of the State
are requested to appoint delegates
through primary meetings, to be held on
or.before Monday, the first Of June. We
regard the time and the place as judi
cious, and have no question there will be
a general response, and that the PEOPLE
or TENNESSEE OPPOSED TO RADICALIsM viii
be fully represented; and that proper
measures will be concerted to enable
them to do all that in them lies, to aid in
the redemption of the country.
There has been an exhibition of impa-
thence by portion Of our friends, at the
delay Of action in this matter on the part
of the Committee; but we have been
able TO appreciate the reasons for com
plant The time is yet ample in which
to form the convention, and the changes
in the current Of events have been so
frequent, and By the distempered cOndi>
ton of affairs, everything is rendered so
uncertain and nuctuating, that it was
wise to postpone until the latest day
possible Atno time has there been any
disposition prevailing among those whose
duty it was to provide for the assembling
of such body, to act timidly, or to ad-
wise a supine course. They have waited
to canvass the sentiment of the people,
and have advised with the various sec
tions of the State and finding a concur
rent opinion in favor of formal organi-
cation, have issued the announcement
accordingly
The call is properly directed to ALL
who oppose the party in power. Ii is
catholic and comprehensive. 1t ignores
the party divisions of former times, and
differences Of opinion during the recent
war. 1t is intended to embrace Wings
and Democrats alike, Union men and
Confederates The convention is ex-
pcctod to be composed entirely Of white
men, who viii represent the political
rights and interests of white men. 1t
proposes to be council Of the men Of
Tennessee who reprobate Radicalism,
and who desire to Danish that accursed
thing from power, and reinstate the rule
Of the Constitution. 1t has adopted the
name of the Democracy, because under
that title, the great mass of the people
with whom they sympathise in senti-
ment and agree in opinion are already
organized

Affairs i'm New Orleans

Nav ORLEANS, May Commissioner
Shannon to-day dismissed the suit against
GOV. Baker. charged with perjury in ia
king the oath Of Office. He decided that
the evidence produced by the prosecution
failed to substantiate the charges.
( An affidavit has been filed by one of the
late Registers before United States Com
missioner Welles, to the effect that the
newly elected Republican Recorder of the
first district was not naturalized until his
nomination, and that Conway, Republican
Superintendent of Education, is not a reg
istered citizen of Louisiana, although APP
pearing on the ticket from the parish of
Orleans. The same affidavit states that
Commissioner Shannon attempted by
threats to intimidate the affiant from per-
forming his duty according TO his oath.

THE CoSF OF IMPEACHMENT.
Erik the Washington correspondent

"Trix,' the Washington correspondent
Of the Chicago Times, says:
The people will have to pay good round
sum for impeachment; bat il will all be found
in the bill, including $1,000 for printing ad-
mission tickets, vast number OF which
were distributed to the harlots Of Represen-
tatiVes and Senators, who appear daily, in
All the pride Of paint, powder and feathers,
in fbe galleries. Certain witnesses cost the
country $1,000 each. Ten cents mile and
$40 per day we're allowed for attendance
The entire cost is set down at near S400, 900
including, | suppose, lemonade, ice
cream, oysters aud eologne-the last, Of
course, for the ladies.
