Henderson, Before the Impsaehnent Man
Washington dispatch of the 10th says:

A Washington dispatch Of the 10th says:
Senator Henderson was examined by the i'm.
peachment managers. He said that the Missouri
dele CATION called on him and urged impeachment
from party point Of view; he rejected this
view, and informed them that his duties we're ju-
dicial, and not political. Some feeling arose,
when, under the excitement Of the moment, Mr..
Henderson said he would resign his seat; after
be concluded this course would be
wholly inadmiseable, and he so uniformed the mem.
bers; he said he did not believe that the members
intended 10 corruptly influence his vote; he
thought they bad taken q false aud erroneous
view of the subject, and were at first disposed to
pursue 1t with too much zeal; he was asked
said he was the only one Of the fourteen
senators reported who really dlued with him
on the occasion mentioned; he said he had
had no Communication with the chief justice with
reference to the reported new party, nor had the
chief Justice ever attempted to influence his mind
on the subject Of impeachment; nor did he believe
that the chief justice had tried to influence the
mino of any senator 10 relation to cabinet changes.
He said that in his judgment, too, much Of the
controversy between Mr.. johnson and Congress
springs from the advice of an incompetent cabl-
net and that the selection Of more and unselhsh
men, from either or both OF the parties, would
tend to give peace to the country and restore con-
fdence to business. He stated that no assurance,
of any character whatever, had been made
directly or indirectly 10 him by the president.
or to any one else, so far he knew; and II they
bad been made, they could have had no Influence
ON bis Judgment. After giving his evidence he
protested against the right Of the committed TO
examine him in matters relating to q senator, and
laid that he would not attend again until he had
laid the case before the Senate.

as the zephyr at even. She was the idol of So
ciety, and the dear ones at home the very light of
their eyes, and the joy of their hearts 1t s diff
cult to realize that one whom we 80 lately saw
full of life and gladness mingling in the festive
throng, aud rejoicing " in the very ecstacy of be-
ing" should 80 soon be snatchCd away ON tho
scenes of earth forever. And when we gnzed upon
