NOTES AND NEWS,
WANTS 4 BREATH or PURE AtR.

Epectat Nfpdsch to 5As Tribune.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1S.-Thc President
refused 10 receive any visitors to-day except
members Of Congress, and le Will leave to-mor-
row morning for Deer Park, place Of summer
rc1ort In the mountains, on the limo Of tho Bal
ttmore d Ohio Rallroad. It is to BE- hoped that
the pure alr md good water of that pleasant
plaee may prove beneficial aftes the excessive
heat which tho President, With every one else,
has had to endure, aud that he will return On
Monday refreshed and inyigorased.
IMPEACHMENT.
Bclknap's lawyers secured postponemcnt Of
the trtal until tomorrow, that they may have
the benefit Of the testimony Of Evans, the post
trader, who paid regular sum to Marsh, who
in turn sent onc.half of It 10 the Becrc-
tary of War. No one has denied that
this was done, and should Evans not
present himetlf it is very probable that
tic Senate may decide not to wait any longer
for him, but to have the casc closed Without fur
ther delay, The evidence presented un bothsllcs
thus far shows thas nclknap received the money
tempt to prove that it wae scut to him for any
honest tcason. Ills only hops lies In the vota
OIL the question Of Jurisdiction, which WAS 4
majority Of the Senate, hut not the two-thirds
which will bu necessary to convict him.
THE ADJOURNMENT QUESTION
has taken unothcr veer, and IL now looked upon
with encouragement. Yesterday everything
wa8 hopeful. What 1t may be Tomorrow no
ono can tell. Whether 1t Is the tck!eness Of tho
House, tho changcfulncss Of the Senate, OF tho
natural fear and apprehension Of the two Houses
against each other, eantot be known, but 1t is
very certain that every day briugs cllange In
