THE IMPEACHMENT VOTE.


The question whether n vote will be
taken on impeachment Tuesday Will
probably be decided by consultation to-
morrow night, unless the Managers
shall seem to call for delay OF the
vote. The Managers will not decide
upon their course till tomorrow morn
ing, when they meet to decide 1t. Two
of the Managers, Stevens and VIII
liams, are urging the presentation OF
additional articles, but all the others
are opposed to this. General Butler is
Dreparing a preliminary report, which
will be sub mitted to the Managers in
the morning, and probably laid before
the House. It will set forth the main
features of the evidence thus far, and
embody a considerable portion OF it.
This will be made for the Information
OF the House, but it is supposed it will
be of such a character as TO compel the
Senate to take immediate notice of 1t.

THE MANAGERS INVESTIGATIONS.


The impeachment investigation was
continued for five hours to-day. Thur
low Weed and Collector Smythe, OF
New York, were among the persons
examined. It cannot be learned
whether anything important in support
of Impeachment was ELECTED. The
managers have not yet come to any de-
termination what they will do about
reporting the results OF their investiga-
tions. The story that they have pre-
pared a new article is not correct,
Thad. Stevens has written something,
but friends to whom he has read the
manuscript say it is rather incoherent,
1t must be said that Mr.. Stevens has
been In a very feeble condition for the
past four or i've days, and mentally is
less fit now than at any other time this
winter for doing business. Whether he
will attempt to do anything with the
paper he has prepared, which substan-
tally charges high crime and misde'
meanor in the use of public patronage,
is not known. 1t certainly is not now
in shape to command dozen votes IN
the House and probably not more than
one in Committee. The managers dc
not yet express any purpose to ask
further postponement of the vote or
the articles before the Senate. Thus
far the mass of the testimony is such
as to show that the Presidents friends
were very busy IN his interest, but moi
of a nature to prove that the Senate was
directly influenced. .,
