The New York Tribune urges the prompt
: admission Of senator's from Arkansas, as well
,;aa from other Southern reconstructed States,
.ytpsthe express purpose, Of enabling them to
syote,, on; the. impeachment question. This is
rather startling suggestion, says the Times.
:ssNot ono Of these men has heard syllable OF
the testimony, and Of course it is now too late,
! "a &c is.sll in, and all the, arguments viii be
,oysr before they can possibly take their seats,
Ne do not suppose there is the slightest chance
that the Senate wiz peEpetrate or tolerate such
10 hagrant act Of injustice and inpropriety; but
1t seems tons a.ittle remarkable that paper
like Tribune should propose or even suggest
such . thing.
Thurlow Weed Acknowledges that Repubh-
], i,canism is tottering. He says: Large cities,
6like Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Cincinnati,
San Francisco and Rochester have been wrest-
ed from our grasp. Nor is this all Entire
States have faltered by the way, and with
drawn their support from the Republican party.
New York, instead OF being in the Republican
column, writhes under the incubus OF o tfty
thousand Democratic majority. Pennsylvania,
California, Connecticut. and New jersey, go
ilately plucked like q brand from the burning,
have likewise re,apsed. All this he claims to
abe the result Of bad management, and looks to
Grant as the Hercules that is to heave the cart
wheel out Of the mud.
The squabble for the Vice presidency in
ecreases in inlerest. A correspondent says -
.tsWhils Grant is cunning and wants to be un-
committed to anybody but himself, members
eof his staff who have heretofore done most of
athe political engineering, have proclaimed Tor
that nimble, sly and small gentleman, MIR.
Coifax,5 as their preference for Yice.President.
This declaration has disturbed the happy fami-
III considerably, and the energetic Wade, in his
plain, Anglo-Saxon style, has pronounced a
benediction on staff officers IN general, which
-made some hairs stand on end about head
quarters. Wilson, Of Massachusetts,, and little
Mr.. CoKax, of smiling platitudes, have entered
into III, unholy alliance against Wade, and
!,swear as lard as members Of the temperance
society can do that he shall not be nominsted
at Chicago. Fessenden, who has never for
sgiyen his election as President pro tenn. OF the
Senate; IS Of the same mind, as are also Grimes
sand varfoui others. Freinshuysen prays
against him il chnroh and does something
ssironger in Caucus" The installation Of Wade
may settle the question:.
