The following resolution, reported by Mr..
Bingham on Saturday, in behalf of the i'm
peachment managers, and adopted by the
House by a vote of yeas IS, nays 10, is what
might be expected from politicians disappointed
as thew have been, and who are so little salts
fed with the result of the trial that they ap-
pea- to be DESTROYS to try it again:
"Whereas information has come TO the man
ayers which seems to them TO furnish probable
cause to believe that improper or corrupt in
fluences have been used to influence the deter
mination Of the Senate upon the articles of i'm
parchment exhibited to the Senate by the
House of Representatives against the President
of the United States, therefore.
"ReSolred. That for the further and more Ell
feient prosecution of the impeachment OF the
! President. the managers be directed and III
| structed to summon and examine witnesses IN
der oath to send for persons and papers; to
employ stenographer, and to appoint sub
committees to take testimony, the expenses
thereof to be paid from the contingent fund OF
| the House.
1t is, Of course, impossible to say what rev.
olutionists will attempt, for we have had proof
enough Of their recklessness in connection with
the whole subject of impeachment to warn US
against imputing to them ordinary prudence
and discretion. But still the resolution looks
like disposition to raise smoke under which
to retire from the field This is all well enough,
and the Presidents friends won't object, whether
it be the fire of retreating army or the first
vollev of another advance The most violent
of the republican journals, the New York Tn
bune. admits that with the failure of the elev-
euth article Of impeachment, 'all fails" Some
other radical papers receive the result with
commendable calmness, whilst the people at
large are very quiescent, stocks show no signs
Of woe, even the apple blossoms are not likely
to pine in the absence of the Presidents re-
moyal, which Mr. Butler promised was to come
with them Thus the impeachers have no en-,
enlargement from the people to 60 on with
their work They would better take the hint
from the public and keep quiet.
As to the investigation into the alleged i'm
proper means used to influence the Senate the
republican Senators, who have shown the in
flexible virtue and courage to act upon the con-
viction Of their conscience rather than the die
tation of party, may well consider it imperti
ueut, though likely to result in a worse failure
than impeachment. They are the abest anC
purest men of the republican party, and thu
course they have pursued is the very opposite
Of that which corrupt and selfish motives woulC
have suggested If an inquiry is to be insti
tuted into improper influences, let it have al
unlimited scope, and be applied to those whicl
may have been employed for, as well as against
conviction. Tie Senators who voted for &C
quittal have no reason to fear the result. Iii

Reconstruction.

So far as the House of Representatives has
anything to do with the matter, the work
Of Reconstruction in the Southern States says
the Baltimore Gazette Of the 1GthO has been
nearly done. North Carolina, South Carolina
Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama have been de-
clared to be States with republican forms of
government, and as such entitled to be con-
sdered members Of the Union rs soon as they
shall have ratified the fourteenth amendment
to the Constitution. One hundred and eight
men'without maniesiing the slightest shame
or compunction sustained this bideous and lying
mockery of the principles on which the Federal
Constitution and Government rests That the
Constitutions which have now been declared to
be the fundamental law in five States were not
framed and not sanctioned by the mass Of the
white inhabitants of those States-that they
are the work in the main Of vagabond white
interlopers and negroes-that they enforce in
the South a social and political equality be-
tween the blacks and whites that would not be
endured in any Northern State an hour-that
they place all political power in the hands Of
the most ignorant. reckless and unprincipled
classes in the South-all these things the House
of Representatives understands thoroughly
1t knows how by combined application Of
force and fraud these Constitutions have been
created purely in the interest of the Radical
faction of the North. 1t is well aware of the
fact that the most of the sueaking hypocrites
who will claim admission to Congress under
the act will be no more the representatives of
the South than the strangers who may have
landed on our shores yesterday. 1t is as well
satisfied as we are that its creatures, black and
white, who have obtained possession of the
State Governments will inevitably plunge the
South into still further dependency and ruin.
Finally, Congress knows that it has no more
right to pass the Act adopted by the House on
Thursday than it has to abolish the ConStitu-
ton of New York, and that the whole business
of admitting these five States isa political fraud
Of the most glazing character, aud practised
for the most infamous end But what matter
all these things to the Radical faction? Power
Is their aim, and if it can but keep that, it
cares little whether the means by which it
does so be fair OF foul The great bulk of the
American people must assuredly have some
thing to say ere long about these things and
viii find way of saying it. Would that the

The Eleventh Article.


The following is the substance of the
Eleventh Article Of Impeachment upon which
the President has Just been acquitted 1t was
universally regarded as the strongest Of the
list:

touul Congress Of the United States, but a

The senators from West Virginia.


In addition to the pressure brought to bear
upon Mr.. Henderson, there has been sys-
tematic effort to coerce the Senators from West
Virginia into the impeachment ProgrGmme.-
These gentlemen are not TO be allowed to fol-
low their own honest convictions, based upon
the law and the evidence as heard by them
selves. Among the arts thus employed is
despatch from the sapient chairman Of Ways
and Means, General Schenck, to one Of the
Radical organs in West Virginia. This pre-
cious despatch is as follows;
WASHINGTON, d. c., May u, 1868.
Great danger TO the peace Of the country
and the Republican cause if impeachment fails.
Send to vour Senators public opinion by reso-
lutions, letters. and delegations.
ROBERT c. SCHENCK, Chairman"
Our information is that in West Virginia a
very large preponderance of sentimentin pub
lie opinion" is arrayed against impeachment,
but as an impeachment lobby has reached this
city from that quarter, it is fair to assume that
Mr. Scheucks modest request for shipment
Of " public opinion has been duly attended to.
Whether it viii be adequate to impose on the
intelligence and mislead the integrity Of the
West Virginia Senators, is point on which
we beg leave to express our doubts.
But what does Mr. Schenck mean by saying
that there is h" great danger to the peace Of the
country if impeachment taas2" Who, pray,
is to make the trouble aud thus Jreak the
peace Clearly not the Conservatives, for they

quissce most cordially in the righteous adjudi-
cation Of the Senate. II this language, there
fore. means anything over and above a Ku
Klux Khan bugaboo to frighten old ladies at
their tea-cups throughout the larG, it must
mean that our doughty chairman of Ways and
Means is to head rebellion against the judg-
ment Of the Senate, with an attempt by these
desperate couspirators to install Mr. Wade
In the Presidents House by revolution. We
read this bravado without feeling any particu-
lar alarm. We have no fears Of the Schenck:
and the Buffers, not even with the aid Of the
military commander who is said to have cas-

military capacity, as evinced at Vienna, Ma
uassas. and Baltimore, is not calculated to in
spire any special dread of him as the leader o
a revolt against the decision of the Senate
We look with deep and almost unspeakablC
contempt upon these rawlings, which, after all
are only a sort of stage thunder and lightning
