The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1868-07-10

In feallty account 1or the sixteen EnOu-
sand dollars which were raised to "pay
the Presidents counsel" 1t is also
shown that Senator Henderson was
prepared to vote for three ont of the
eleven articles on the day, or the day
before, the vote was taken; that on that
day Cooper wrote to the President that
Craig, an Internal Revenue Collector,
from Missouri, had seen Henderson,,
and that he was all right, and Evarts
had said so.
Mr.. Ross Informed Senator Pomeroy,
the night before the vote was taken,
that he should vote for conviction. Mr..
Thomas Ewing, who was anxious to
obtain some one to procure votes for
acquittal, saw Ross that night, and the
next morning Ross took breakfast with
Perry Fuller. Ross then went to the
Senate and voted for the Presidents
acquittal.
The following from the testimony of
Senator Pomeroy as to the opinions of
Mr.. Van Wrinkle is nearly all OF inter-
est in relation to him: a=sslE
so. desire to ask you If Senator
Van Wrinkle said anything to yon as to
his opinion or vote on the articles OF
Impeachment before the vote was taken
on the eleventh article ? a. He did on
two occasions, IL not more. Within
day or two after The opinions OF some
Of the Senators hnd been given, Sena-
tor Van Wrinkle told me that he was
preparing q written opinion in favor OF
conviction on the eleventh article and
some others. He said he had no doubt
aboutit.
40. Did he tell YOU he had prepared
an opinion? A. He said he was pre-
pairing one in writing. He showed
some manuscript in his drawer, which
he said was what he was preparing.
80. How did he say he should voter
A. He said his mind was to vote for
conviction on the 18th article, and was
preparing an opinion to sustain his
vote.
"Q.-DId he say anything about any
other article? AL think he did; but
he did not speak SO clearly and de-
cidedly in regard to other articles as In
regard to that .
senator Fowler is implicated by Lee
gates testimony, who DECLARES that
Cooper informed him that Fowler was
embarrassed by some former declara-
lions in regard to Impeachment, but
that "they would hold him finally"
which they apparently.di did.
The conversation between Thurlow
Weed, Adams, Hastings, Sheridan
Shook and Smythe, in regard to pur-
lation to other points in the evidence
suggested and demonstrated. But this
has already been given in full, and
need not be repeated.
The managers believe that Woolley
and his friends interested themselves
for the acquittal of the President, in
behalf of Mr.. Pendleton, hoping to OBJ
tain in return the Presidents influences
for Pendleton's nomination. This is a
conjecture, however, and is based on
the fact that Woolley testified that he
was in Washington in Pendleton's in
terest.
1t is observable that the names OF
CanaInFa Ea1aRndau and (NFim9l
pear only in connection with General
EgRn's bet, and that Senator Trumbull
is even by implication accused of no
more than an attempt 10 convince SenR-
tor Ross by an argument which the ar
rival of Senator Pomeroy interrupted.
The charges against the other four,
Senators Fowler, Ross, Henderson and
Van Wrinkle, are nowhere direct but
the evidence is SO grouped as to leave
the impression that the committee be-
lieve them parties to n corrupt bargain
to acquit the President. b
One link remains. The names of
several persons who appear in the testi-
mony. have appeared In the list OF APP
pointments for confirmation in the
Senate. Mr.. Evarts-who worked for
nothing-has been appointed Attorney
General. Mr.. Smythe, the New York
Collector, has been appointed Minister
to Austria. Perry Fuller has been APP
pointed Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. Lacy, who was able to imi-
tate Pomeroy's handwriting, has been
appointed Revenue Collector of New
Orleans.
Those who have made up their minds
that impeachment is Judicial process,
and requires a judicial mind, may per-
haps gather some new light from this
report.
