The Impeachment Investigation--E -Exami.
nation of Mr.. r. w. Newton.


hr. Ralph w. Newton, of New York,
was the principal witness on Thursday be
fore the impeachment managers, and was
under examination for four hours and a
half, with about the same result. as in the
case of Mr.. Wooly. Thirty six private
telegrams of Mr.. Newton's relating to all
sorts Of subjects, were produced and read,
but nothing was elected upon which to
base the shadow of a proof of corruption.
Butler asked Mr.. Newton if he had not
written a certain letter to Mr.. Smythe, col
lector Of New FORK, and went On to indi
cate the contents of the letter referred to.
The witness replied he had /; that he hap
pcned to leave it on the table in his room
unfclded, and that it was stolen from
there.
"Who stole it p inquired Butler.
81 expect you did, responded Newton.
The witness was put under arrest four
times, bnt as often liberated, the whole
proceeding being conducted with a mock
decorum that was quite refreshing to wit
ness. The witness resolutely persisted IL
refusing to disclose his private affairs, tho
he very good humoredly answered all the
questions he possibly could without quite
turning himself inside out. Butler, for in-
stance, read telegram addressed to col
lector Smythe-"Come on here at once
signed Nrwton-and asked witness what
nefarious scheme he had in contemp' alton
when lie penned such an atrocious request
as that. Newton replied he felt lonesome
and wanted Smythe to come along and
take drink, whcrcupon Butler got indig
nant, and said the Board of Managers was
not to be trihed with in that fashion. A
great deal of such silly matter made up
the fruit of to-day's investigation.
Near the close of Mr.. Newton's testi-
mony he was asked if be had ever known
AN offer Of money made to the President
He replied, with much grave deliberation,
that lie had, and immediately all the man
ayers became attentive and prepared them
selves, in Imagination, for another article
of Impeachment. He stated that Mr.. VIM,
II. Appleton, the publisher, had come to
Washington some four or five weeks ago,
and signfied to the President, through
Newton, that in case of his being convict
ed, several gentlemen in New York in
tcrdeI to prescn, him with a purse Of
100000 in gold, and that the house of
Mr.. Appleton wond he al his service after
he quilted the executive mansion. In case
he should be acquitted the sum 10 be pre-
sented would be made $4,000. There
was nothing impeacbablc in this, and the
managers get disconsoatc, ard told the
witness he might GO Washington DIS

BILE that Pennsylvania should be fully rep

our late comrades in arms to take The
necessary action to have delegates elected
or appointed from every Congressional

Hiram Ulysses Grant.

This man has been nominated for Pres
ident b, the Chicago Convention. The
facts of his LIE are Born at Point Pleas
ant, Ohio, April p, 1922, entered West
Point in 1887, graduated 1843, a second
lieutenant, and resigned in 1852 captain.
In 1854 was applicant for clelkship to
the Phothonotary of St. Louis; the appli
cation was rejected " for want of capaci-
ty." lie then went to Galena and became
a tanner. In August, 1861, he entered
the Federal army as a captain, was trans
ferred to the regular service, where he
still remains. His habits, if Wendell
Philips and the Tribune are to be believed,
are extremely dissolute.

Wendell Philips Gives It Up.

There is something ominous for the
Radical party in Wendell Philips late
speech. 1t is not that he berates that
party and declares that unless it do so-and-
so II is lost, since this has been the staple
of his talk for some years past, but that be
seems to consider it so irretrieveably lost
that he will not even put himself to the
trouble of giving it good advice. Hereto
fore he has been Mentor, pointing ont
how the future might redeem the past,
but In this last discourse assumes the tone
of Cassandra, and weeps over the ruins it
is given the prophetic eye to see. The
past, the past, the past, is tue burden of
Mr.. Philips elegiac remarks, and when
was it before that this prompt, fiery, clear.
heaued enthusiast ever poured himself
forth by the hour in that species OF la
mentation which has DO parallel but IN
tears that are shed over split milk ? Once
he was ready enough to blaze out the way
for the party, and sooner or later, it is to
the credit OF his frantic logic, that party
toiled on up to the advanced ideas lie left
in the read Tor their guidance. But now
all is changed The seer is sunk in tue
croue Mr. Philips no longer prophcses.
He weeps, and wccps in the finn persua-
sion that Radicslsm has been def ated in
as he well calls il, its death grappIe 4"
that the fight has been fought and the
victory is wou THAT his principles have
received their death blow, and he is too old
to hope to live to see their resurrection
Wendell Philips foretolI secession, and it
came; emancipation and it came; and
now that he has foretold the overthrow,
utter and awful, Of the Raddal party, we
have oniy to wait for November to see that
this third in his trinity of great predictions
is true t0o.- H'orH.

SATURDAY MORNING, DEL. 5, 1865
How we Corks Swim.

In reading the transcripts article on
president Grant," in the last issue, one
is almost forced to believe that the Gen
eral" had made that paper his especial or
gan for the next four years, and that its
influence hereafter is to rank but little in
fcrior to that of prime minister. 1t an
nounccs determination to keep him
thoroughly posted as to who in this Terri
tory are made of the true metal and who
are not" SO that he may distribute the
loaves and fishes judiciously. IF this is to
be regarded as authoritative, the Tribune,
the Republican and the Echo, might just
as we'll shut up shop; for not even the
crumbs will they or their friends receive
from the bountcous repast which will soon
be spread for the faithful.
The newly constituted court journal, thus
indicates the tcstof loyalty" forrccipicnts
of patronage under the new Administra-
ton:
persons who opposed the country and rcoccd in its
disaster who now want official position, that are
Che most noisy in their adherence to the great
of our country and of humanity. Away with such
men. Let President Grant know their motives and
thcir past actions and he would no more give them
official favor than he would hug viper to his
breast"
Here that, ye minious, who hang to the
coat-tails of the trcachcrous person" who
has been "most noisy in adherence to the
great cause Of our country and of humani-
ty." Trcmble, ye who have refused to fol-
low the commandments as laid down by
Lord Howe. For you there is no redemp-
ton, now that the goal is reached.
Had not the factions better wait lit
tlcwhile, however, before arrogating to them
selves full control of our destinics? Can
any one of their leaders read his title clear
to the spoils in prospect? Docs each inn
aginc himself so firmly seated that he may
not be endorsed? The heads may fall as
the leaves Of Autumn before six months
roll round. Thousands of applicants for
place with hungry NAV throng the capital,
and where can positions be farmed out more
readily than in this remote corner Of the
vineyard! You may have to turn anoth-
er summorset, even if Grant docs not john
soaisc the party, which is not altogether
Improbable. Remember the adagc: "Thc
least said the soonest mended." Don't be
hasty; don't be rash. ~...
