For Attorney General,
J. E. MSON,
Warren County.
Impeachmsnt.
The President was acquitted on Satur-
day last, by vote of IS for conviction
against 10 for acquital, this was on the
18th, and main article the others are
nothing. A molten to djourn the Court
to May Goth, prevailed. Every possible
effort was made to bring in outside opin-
ions to influence the acts of Senators.
Henderson of Missouri, and Ross of Kan
sas, we're ordered to 20 for conviction, but
these gentlemen replied in saucy letters
and dispatches, that they were attending
to their own business as jurors in the case,
and required no assistance. The vote was
as follows:
For Conviction-Messrs. Anthony,
Cameron, Cattell, Chandler, Cole, Conk-
lin, Conncss, Corbett, Cragin, Drake,
Edmunds, Ferry, Frelinghuysen, Harlan,
Howard, Howe, Morgan, Morrill, (Maine),
Morrill, (yermont), Morton, Nye, Patter.
son IN. H., Pomeroy, Sherman, Sprague,
Stewart, Sumner, Thayer, Upton, Wade,
Wiley, Williams, Wilson, Yates.
Not Guilty-Messrs Bayard, Buckalew,
Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Fessenden, Fowler,
Grimes, Henderson, Hendricks, johnson,
McCreery, Norton, Patterson (Tennessee),
Ross, Salisbury, Trumbull, Van Wrinkle,
Vickers.
The Chicago Tribune, the Republican
thunderer, takes sides with the members
gifts party who voted for acquital the
Chicago Journal publishes their names in
heavy black letter, as disgrace for all
time. The fight between the Chica-
20 papers is intensely bitter. The
Tribune and Post sustain Sen. Trumbull,
the Journal and Republican going ether
wise. 1t is possible the breach in the
party will defeat Grant and Wade in the
convention Of to-day at Chicago, but it
matters little to democrats who is nomin-
ated; defeat of the Chicago ticket is as
certain in November as November comes.
The news of acquittal reached McGrcg-
or, by telegraph at 8 P. NJ. Some of the
Republicans were foolish enough to get
mad fund shware leedle," but most took
it in sororwiul kindly form and ultima.
tely they laughed over the folly ola Congress
that pretended 20 have case which the
testimony would not bear out. This i'm
parchment question has materially weaken
cd the radicals. Men are growing tired o
30 much official robbery; favoritism to thu
rich and oppression of the poor and he
who stumps the country this autumn ir
favor Of the present general policy ant
attemps to defend acts SO disgraeetully
apparent as this administration can show
will find Jordan hard road to travel
Senator Grimes Of this state mace a most
exhaustive speech on the Impeachment
question. So, also did Senator Trumbul
Of Illinois. ~
The City flag of McGregor. was run vi
on receiving dispatch. Toward evening
came to half mast in coincidence with tn
Republicans. Our little city don't go ma
on small matters, albeit there wa
some tall swearing by a few who could'n
! well recover from the shock of defeat
; Below is the; substance Of the finale from
the Milwaukee Daily Sentinel. We ar
, waiting reports from Chicago.
9 The question whether Andrew Johnso
| should be convicted of high crimes an
!, misdemeanor' and removed from the ofic
| of President of the United States, is Writ
ally decided. Pursuant to adjournmer
] the Court re assembled on Saturday, an
proceeded to vote on the eleventh article
7 The result was, that Of the thirty-six nee
Y essary to convict, only thirty-ive Senator
y voted guilty, 1t has been understood fo
r some time that this was the strongest {
r the articles -embudyng as it did the tw
8 principal charges upon which the impeacl
q ment was predicted. Immediately upo
the announcement of this result the Cou
J. adjourned to the Goth inst, for what pu
: pose it is difficult to see, unless it was
j. prolong the mischcvious suspense that til
r country has been suffering for the pa
I, tire. months, and perhaps to confirm tt
;, impression that the views Of the Senator
/ on the questions of law and facts involve
d in the case were in some strange way nil
J. ed up with the Chicago Convention. 1t
n possible that conviction may be had G
a some one of the other articles, but it
70 nothing more than possible, and we hs
d better dismiss the matter from. our min,
y as a thing of the past.
