Impeachment Gossip.
From the Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati CommerciaI.l
THE SITUATION.

Cincinnati CommerciaI]
THE SITUATION.
WASHINGTON, D. G., May 14.-The
development to-day, of the impeach-
ment situation, shows that there is better
prospect for vote on Saturday than ex-
listed last night. The sick Senators are
better to night, and there is reasonable
probability of their being able to be
present in their seats on the appointed
day. The friends of Impeachment, how
ever, openly insist that no vote will be
taken until conviction is rendered GER
tainty, and the supporters of an acquit-
tai, reasoning from these premises, are
$50 confident as to declare that vote will
never be reached.
A very prominent Radical member of
Congress, however has list made out
giving thirtY-si votes for canviction on
the second, eighth and eleventh articles.
1t does not include the names of either
Senators Fowler or Van Winkle, but
gives the impe achers Senator's Ross, An
thony, Cole and Wiley. He maintained
that this list for conviction is made upon
the distinct pledge of each Senator. This
is the only scintillation of fact which
can be given on that side. On the ather
hand the opponents of conviction are
Joined in the opinion by good many
Republicans for the first time to-day,
that the Presidents acquittai is more
probable than i. has been since the case
was submitted to the Senate.
IF Mr.. Grimes is too unwell to be
present on Saturday, the impeachers pro
pose to pair off his vote with those Of
Senator'S Howard and Wade, itrequiring
two affirmative votes to pair one mega.
tive VOTE,
THE IMPEACHMENT MANAGERS
Had a meeting, this morning, and sum.
.moned before them one Of the Presidents
secretaries, whe was examined with re-
ference to allegations of corruption, to
influence against conviction. Nothing
was ELECTED sustaining any such charges,
which, it appears, are based SO far on
tho common rumor that funds have been
raised in New York to help the Presi-
dent. So
THE PRESSURE.
1t was stated in these dispatches, on
Tuesday night, that kilograms had been
sent from here to get up popular demon
strations in favor of impeachment. Sen
ator Anthony's paper, the Providence
journal, of yesterday, comes to hand
here with the statement that the follow
ing telegram was sent to several gentle
men in that city who are more or less
onspicuous in local politics:
"WAsHINGToN, May IL, l868.--Great
damage to the peace Of the country and
the Republican party if impeachment
fails. Send to your Senators before Sat-
urday, public opinion, by resolutions and
delegations. ROBERT g. SeHENoK,
Chairman"
That paper in commenting upon it
says that such telegram coming from
such source awakened in many minds
profound feeling of surprise and mortif-
cation. General Schenck, it adds, has
mistaken his own duty, and he has mis-
taken the Senators from Rhode Island and
the people they represent.

A Mosher'. Love for her Son.

Mothers Love for her Son.
The Des Moines (Iowa) State Register
tells this story:
Governor Merrill on Monday pardoned Mrs.
Catharine Macardle, the old lady who has
been in the State Penitentiary for four
years. This old women, full of maternal de-
votion, heroiealy sacrificed herself to save
her son from the gallows. The son had kill
ed his father, and the mother, to avert the
doom from her offspring, claimed and con-
tossed that 1t was she who had committed
the murder, and on her own confession was
codeinned to be hung. Governor Stone COM
muted her sentence to Imprisonment for life.
The poor woman after one or two attemnts

when we visited the penitentiary last fall she
was shrivelled in body and nearly SO in mind.
For four years she had received no word or
or tidings from her friends; sixty-fiye wears

abandoned by all of her blood, victim to he
role motherly devotion, and with the ii.bt Of,
earth, and seemingly that of heaven, shut out
from her, she was truly as sad an object as
ever trod the wine press of woe. Many per-
sons have interested themselves in her be-
hall, and at last, through the kindness and
conslderateness OF our noble governor, the
dlsgraceiul chains are stricken from her aged
limbs, and she is once more free, but we fear
not happy. --

The celebrated preacher, Rowland Hill
was greatly annoyed whenever any noise di-
Verted the attention of his hearers from what
ne was saying. On one occasion, few DAYS
before his death, he was preaching to a crowd
ed congregation and in the middle of his dis
course observed commotion in the gallery.
For some time he took no notice of it. but
hncing it increasing, he paused in his sermon
and looking in the direction, exclaimed
What's the matter there? The devil seems
TO have got among you" A plain, country
looking man started to his feet. and address
ing Hill in reply, said: "No, sir; it aren't the
devil as is doing it;it's tat lady what's

seem seem lkeiy to come to again in hurry
