VINO were drinking, pulled down q small

his feet on the sacred emblem. Of course

'n,roroS, May l3.--The hope that
".ASh.sohu,ent imbroglio would be closed
the 'mP s~ having been disappointed, our
!S ho1s community is stu speculating wildly
wh orsat will and what will not be done on
SS on VIA next. 1t now appears to be the
ss'ul n1s If the Jacobins to take vote on
pirPoSseev provided they have Senator How
s","t nrcsent, and provided, further, that
ara ore then confident Of securing the
the! y;.t;on of Andrew johnson. Some Of
c%UHD;;,rneachers would gladly postpone the
the ~, rn,e until after the Chicago Conven-
h's' :, order to deprive Wade of any extra
WI. ..i;norr power or influence over that body.
T Or. q few of the more substantial and re-
pe 1 members of the Republican party
~ hecoming ashamed of the postponement
aA az and will oppose any further
isI.r. An effort to further postpone, if
sisted in, may result in the disaffection
yt .xo or three more of their partyy and
his was strongly intimated to-day, by Sena-
,or Morton.
Let Senator Harlan and politicians of his
s,r;re press matters too far, and Indiana
nov cast two votes instead Of one against
;mnsachrnent. 1t is also believed that it
would be dangerous to press Sherman too
hard TO the wall, while several others would
seize upon almost any pretext to join the
~ new wing" of the party, embracing, as it
5oes, the great leaders--Chase, Fessenden,
Trumbull, Grimes, and Henderson. Abstract
these men from the Republican party, and
he remainder would remind one Of the play
a; Hamlet with the part of Hamlet omitted.
But the screws have been applied, and
the whole machinery of party pressure is
being brought to bear upon the recreant
senator's" as the secretary of that august
bolv denominates them; and rumors are
srinS about as to what this senator or that
one has said in extenuation of his position.
IN individual rushed into the room of Gem
eral Pelouse at the War Department to-
dav, and, without waiting to recover his
breath, demanded on interview with the
Secretary of War. General Pelouse politely
informed him that he could send his card
TO Mr.. Stanton. "0h / must see him,
SIR" exclaimed the excited individual.
II Am just from Senator Henderson's room,
and he has promised to vote for conviction
on the eleventh article, and want to tell

WAsHINGToN, May H. Nothing has
transpired to-day TO indicate change in
the status Of senators upon impeachment.
The movements Of the manipulators have
been comparatively quiet. It appears to
be conceded that the further consideration
of the verdict in the Senate win be ad-
journed from next Saturday until the SAT-
urday following, ostensibly upon the ground
of illness, and therefore necessary Absence,
of Senators Howard and Grimes, who, it ID
believed, cannot be sufficiently recovered to
attend the trial. There is YET some doubt
Of the presence Of Senator Conkling, who
is quite i'll. The best informed generally
concede that when the vote shall be taken.
the President win be acquitted. M 90: {
THE MANAGERS EXAMINING WITNESSES. ]
The impeachment Managers Of the House
held meeting to-day, and had before them
witnesses, and expect to continue the ex-
animation tomorrow. There is no official
information Of the character Of the inves-
tigation before the Managers, but common
report says the purpose is todiscover what,
if any, attempts have been made to infu-
ence or procure the votes Of senators in
favor Of acquittal of the President.
The friends of the President tonight say
they are pleased with the opportunity togo
into such an investigation, and especially if
they are to be permitted to present testi-
.mony of the efforts made and the acts done
by the impeachers to intimidate senators
who were supposed to be opposed to the
conviction of the President.
LEADING RADICALS IN CONSULTATION ABOUT
THE SITUATION.
A consultation of leading Radicals took
place to-day at the War Department to con-
slider the situation. Among those present
were Senators Wade, Cameron, Wilson, and
Stewart, and Mr.. Stanton.

CONFIDENTIAL DISPATCHES TO THE TRI-
DrSE.-Con6dential dispatches from the
best authorities, received last night by the
editors of the Tribune, leave no room for
doubt that We are safe. The Senate will
convict on Saturday. A leading friend of
Mr.. Johnson said last night that conviction
is doubtful, the chances, in his opinion, be-
ing about even. A sagacious Republican
leader said that Senator Anthony is safe,
Senator Wiley is sure for two articles, and

OY WAR-PosIT1oN OF THE CONSERVATIVE
REPUBLICANS Washington, May 49,
Rumors have been very current here to-day
that the entire Cabinet will speedily resign,
and that General Schofeld will at once be
nominated and confirmed as Secretary Of
War. The Conservative wing of the Radi-
cal party, since the probable and unex-
pected failure of impeachment, insist on
controlling the action of the party. If this
programme be carried out, there will be no
final vote on impeachment.
