P0LIrIcAL.
Those Republicans voting against impesch-
ment claim that they srs - decidedly opposed
10 President Johnsoa's political course q are
the most earnest radicals. They regard Inn
parchment Is judicial and not . political pro
oeeding. II Is known that they claim 70 b q
determined to carry out Congressional policy
. arc their moro radical colleagues, but they do
not think that the President either can or will
attempt furthur obstruction. They hope and
believe that he will change his Cabinet to
great extent at least; and BY . more liberal
policy secure better sooord with Congress.
But whatever he may do or not do In this be
half. has had and can have no effect on their
Judgment In passing on articles Of impeaeh-
ment.
It Is reported that some Of the rocrcant Sens-
tors Arc In much tribulstion at the prospect Of
being read out Of the Republican party at the
Chicago Convention, and yesterday afternoon
Gen. Grant was called upon and solicited to use
his influence to prevent such action. The Gener-
al declined to interfere In the matter, on the
ground that he had no interest therein. One OF
the arguments presented was, that II read out,
they would be obliged to 60 with the Democratic
wing, and the Republicans would thereby lose
the two-thiris vote necessary to pass bills over
the Presidents vetoes.
The Tfibune's Washington dispatch reports
that prominent Republicans say Mr.. Chase
holds that the party has been led in wrong d.
rection. lie was always opposed to impeach-
ment, believes in impartial suffrage and univer-
sal amnesty, and believes new party must be
organized. The President II Is said Is to change
his cabinet and send in the names Of some eI-
Republican. Seward Is to be retained. They
count on him and upon Evsrts.

The prospects Of the new Chase party are very
gloomy indeed, they apparently not having an
omnibus load OF Republican friends.
