WAssIsefoS, April a. fssa J,
The Presidents counsel spout most Of this eysn,.
IL consultation at the Executive mansion The -
ceSdings of the Senate yesterday have sent di.rs.
into their midst People who have seen Mr. Toh.
SON to-day say that he is In state Of nervous
ment and talks as though he had lost all hope m.
whole O, Mr. Johnson's camp here is SHOCKING A.
moralized A. I'd few more days like YESTERDAY ,sn
drive A. ]. s. Co. to desperation. When n.
trial NAV end is stil, subject of much speculaha0
The prevailing opnon see,os to be that by the ast
of this week the Senate will rene to agree upon
verdict The defense win uDdoubteo,y recall Gen
Sherman tomorrow, but under the ruling OF sai:,
day it is not probable that he give any testimony
of material Importance. 1t seems to be understool
that this ruling of the Senate on tho admissbiity Of
Gen. Shermans testimony will apply also TO the ma
jority of the Presidents witnesses, namely; McCul
loeh, - b. S.," Lew. Campbell, Gordon Craseer
Gen. Rousseau, and possibly the Presidsn,,,
Cabinet. About the latter there is some diferaneaos
opinion. The Senate may let them testify. Tha,.
testimony cannot possibly be of any importance
however, as -. ID. Sp is on record In his eor,a'
spondence as saying that the President told him h.
never consulted with his Cabinet on the suheeto,
removing Secretary Stanton and putting in TI,omau
as Secretary ad interim Should all these whessa,
be ruled out, there will be little left TO do but taks
the closing arguments.
The Managers have not had a meeting since satn,
day, but they will meet tomorrow morning early for
consultation. Senators generally opposed 10 tha
| modification of the rIle allowing more than two
counsel to speak on either side on the summing I'D.
and it is probable that they will not agree to ANY
change looking to that end.
The Presidents counsel are in hopes that they NAV
be able to get the Senate to admit the testimony Of
Lieut. Gen. Sherman tomorrow, and they will make
another effort 10 bring up the subject in some form

Well informed persons from the Indian country,
who in Washington transacting business for ths
various tribes Of the extreme West, express
their apprehension of O renewal OF Indian troubles
before Summer In several places dissatisfaction is
manifested growing out of the delay in fulfilling
