THE ELEVENTH ARTIcLE.-The Radicals
regarded the eleventh article Of impeach-
men, as the strongest Of the whole number.
This article was drawn by MIR. Thaddeus
Stevens after the others were adopted by
the House. Mr.. Stevens said this one " was
worth all the others put together We give
below his remarks on presenting it to the
House:
"This charge is not here contained in the
articles reported by the committee, and
unless it is inserted there can be no trial
on it. If there be shrewd lawyers, as I
know there will, and cayilling judges, and
if without that article they do. not acquit
him, they are greener than ever I was when
commenced to practice at the Court of
Quarter Sessions. If that article be in
serted, it will show both the removal and
the attempt to defeat the reinstatement !;
and although the Senate should decide the
other charges in his favor, how could he
escape from this one

GENERAL ,GRANT.--A report has been in
circulation that General Grant has written
o letter declaring that he will not accept a
nomination for the Presidency on platform
of general negro suffrage, but, after q
careful inquiry, itcannot be verified he
publican members say there is no truth
whatever in the rumor.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Chicago Times writes that q leading kadl-
cal senator says there is much dissatlsfac-
ton with Grant among prominent Radicals
because tits known that ne does not 1aY ,l
negro suffrage. The tariff men are also
said to be distrustful of Grant, and will OPP
pose his nomination. =.
Judge Chase is open in his opposition to
General Grant, and sneers at the DISPOSE
ton Of the Republican party to take up
email men, as he calls them.-Neao 9orE

lxPoTEST RAWLINGS That blackleg
George Wilkes, of the Ne,o York Spirit OF
the Times, telegraphs to his paper:
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Chief Justice
Chase is still deyoting himself to the cor
ruption Of senators, in the interest of john
son. He yesterday dined the two Virginia
senator's because they were considered
doubtful, and recently closeted himself for
three hours with Senator Anthony, after
dining him at his house, and endeayored to
Overwhelln him with legal assurances that
,the President ought not to be convicted.
he has devoted himself to this shameless
course with senator's ever since the trial
opened, and is doing nearly oil the dirty
work Of Johnson. His main assistant in
TINS disgraceful task is that soulless shadow
LLv,arts, who sold his political position to
johnson for fee, and who is earning his
pllce by lobbying with senator's for acquit-
ai. The Managers yesterday had it under
consideration to arrest him for this unpro-
;;esslonal and criminal conduct, but were
informed, while in deliberation, that he had
elt town. General Sickles has recently
Nsfned that he was removed from the De-
praftment Of the Carolinas by johnson at
u, ,as express demand OF Chase. Weoan now
C Ctsln to see how, between johnson and Mr..
NAase, JEFF Davis has escaped. &.

Mr.. johnson informed his visitors that
he did not regard the result Of the day as
personal victory, but he considered the
verdict of the Senate triumph of the Con-
s,itution and just application of the law
to the charges and testimony before the
court.
The statement that Chief Justice Chase
called upon the President yesterday or last
night is without shadow of foundation in
fact Chief Justice Chase has not been in
the Executive Mansion for several months,
and certainly not since the House adopted
the impeachment resolution. -SatR.

spoTs ON THE Sun alignani's Mes
senqer (Paris) says that the SUMS disc is at
present riddled with holes; in other words,
with spots, one of which is Of very con
siderable size. Tt is, o deep, cavity in the
photosphere, and 50 wide that the whole ter
restial globe would find room in it without
touching the edges. There is another spot
which, though much smaller, still has one
Of its diameters as large as that of our
earth. Herschel and Arago, having con-
oeiyed the idea of comparing the annual
price Of corn las wheat is called in Europel
to the number Of solar spots observed each
year, found, on comparing q series OF
twenty-five results, that the greater the
number of spots the higher was the cost OF
,breadstufs. This shows that these phe-
nomena may reduce the heat Of the sun
considerably.

Impeachment has failed on one article,
and the final result is in doubt but the
cause of loyalty, freedom, and right has
not failed, nor is it in doubt. The country
looks anxiously to the patriots who stood by
it in war. Be firm and united. Advance
the Union standard to the front. Organize
instantly and thoroughly. Spare neither
