Greeley Cooling Down.

When it began to seem tolerably clear that the
impeachment would prove failure. the veteran
of the Tribune became so excited that he seemed
for while to lose the spirit of fairness and good
sense by which he has generally been actuated.
He even went SO far as to approve of the attempt
to bring outside political pressure to bear IN
order to influence the votes o. Senators sitting
as High Court of Impea achment. But the ex-
citement has subsided, and the editor of the
Tribune is once more in his right mind. Speak
ing of the Republican Senators who voted with
the Democrats on the trial, he says in a late num-
Der of the Tribune:
"Of course, nobody imagines that such men
as Messrs. Fessendcn, Grimes, Trumbull and
Van Wrinkle, voted otherwise than they believed
just. Warped by personal antipathy or preju-
dice their judgments may have beehive think
they werc-but they above the suspicion of
yielding to any more sordd temptation. Van
Wrinkle did not determine on which side to cast
his vote until two days before the verdict. Of
Messrs. Fessenden, Grimes and Trumbull
think the Republican party have great reason to
complain. Not that they voted as they did
we concede the right and duty of each Senator
to vote (however mistakenly rs he saw fit. But
those Senators understood the case at an early
day and it seems to the least they could
fairly have done, to advise their Republican
brethren that they should probably feel con-
strained to vote for acquittal.
He seems also to have reconciled himself to
the acquittal, by looking forward to the ap
preaching election for virtual reversal of the
verdict. He says
I" So we have tried and not succeeded but the
result is quite other than failure The Repub
lican party stands forever relieved from all re-
sponsibility for Mr.. Johnsons misdeeds. Let
him now wrest the command of the army from
General Grant-et him WELD the military as
we'll civil power of the Government in the in
terest of rebellion and aristocracy let him OBJ
struct to the utmost the return of the Southern
States free and loyal, to the councils of the Re-
public-the country and the world will hold us
wholly blameess. Messrs. Chase, Fessenden Il
Co. have taken the Old Man of the Sea upon
their shouders-we shall see how they bear up
under the load I! They have nine months ahead
of such responsibility as do not covet We
shall be agreeably disappointed if it does not
break them down. Thanks to Infinite Mercy,
there is an ordeal before us in which concur
renee of two-thrds is not required to insure a
righteous verdict. Let Messrs. Chase, Eessen-
den & Co. take care of their man Johnson, while
we organize for, and make certain, the joyful
advent of Grant and victory.
