' SURVEYOR GENERA L, Oen. JACOB M. CAMPBELL. " or CAMBRIA cocstr. " - EDITOEIAL CORRESPONDENCE. . V: ,' t i Ntw York, May 18, 1863. Saturday last was a day of unusual ex citement In llils city, or, perhaps', 1 should ay unusual anxiety. Around the bulletin boards or, the Tribune, Hera!dt &nl other leading papers, crowds were gathered wait ing for the news from Washington.. The result of the impcachmont was not, how ever, entirely unexpeoted. The defection of Senators Fessendeo, Trumbull and others, was known, and it did not require prophetic Inspiration to foretell that the nefceessary nineteen rotes would be forthcoming, when they were wanted. Tbo game was the big gest ever played in this country, and the takes immense; Notice had beeu Bent from Now York, a month since, that if votes for acquittal could be had for 100,000 a piece, the money would bo forthcoming. This wai a current rumor in Washington, several weeks since. To convlnco any one that it was not a mere idle report, I need only mention that the New York World, the organ of the Johnson Democracy in this city, openly and impudently recommended the expenditure of seven or tight millions of dollars in buying up a sufficient number of Senators, to insure acquittal. I do not pretend to say that such men as FeBsenden were influenced by exactly such considerations. Judge Chase is an anxious aspirant for the Presidency, while Fessen den was equally anxious for the Vico Presi dency. The elevation of Wado, their rival, as President of the Senate, they could never forget or forgive. That the Democracy, in their extremity, have been making advances to Mr! Chase, for some time past, was too evident to be mistaken. Some of their pa pers openly favored the proposition, though well aware Judge Chase always had been as ultra and extreme in his views on the abolition of slavery, as Garrison or Wendell Philips. If Chase should be adopted as the oppogition candidate to Gen. Grant, Fes sonden and other Johnsonised Senators would, no doubt, expect lucrative and hon orable situations, as cabinet or foreign min isters. What consideration changed the vote of Mr. Fowler, of Tennessee, so suddenly, will, perhaps, never be -fully revealed, but no one can doubt its wonderful effect. Only a few weeks since, he was one of the most unre lenting of the impcachers of the President. No woader he was for a time speechless when , called to. vote, as described by the correspondent of the Tribune, who says : "Mr; Fowler rose slowly and with reluc tance. He heard the question, and was ailent as the thousands who leaned forward to catch bis answer. In that long pause perhaps he remembered his own words, so lately epoken, "As lon as we shall fail to do o"r duty, and to itnriencb end remove Andrew Johnson from office, the blood of the loyal men-slain in the South will rest upon our souls." Sotueflirng, at least, held him mute; for, though he moved his lips, no sound came from them. "Wc do not hear the 8cnator," snld Mr. Sumner, dis tinctly. 'Not Guilty," sid Mr. Fowlur, with difficulty ; and no judgment upon that vote can be -a9 si-vero as his own words. Tennessee will not forget the vote, nor the terrible condemnation that preceded it. If the omission of duty, in Mr. Fowler's opin ion, made Congress responsible for the death of I'niou men, what responsiblity does he attach" to a dulilmrate. . sanction of Andrew Johnson's course? The Eleventh Ar ticle charges that the President attempted to dcfei'.t the acts for the government of the Kebel States. Mr. Fowlt-r lias a hundred times accused him of that attempt. The Eleventh Article declares it to be a high misdemeanor, Mr. Fowler has repeatedly iloclared it to be a crime. Now he affirms that it is neither. It would be easier to reconcile the Pope to Garibaldi or Sir. Fes sendeu to bis conscience, than to bridge the gulf between the Fowler of Jan. 10 and the Fowler or -May 10." The defection of Senator Ross wae, how ever, eveu without a shadow of an excuse His course is thus described by the Tri bune: "It must be evident that the immediate responsibility of the defeat on Saturday rests upon Edmund T. Ross, of Kansas. Trumbull, aud FosBeiulon and Grimes, and Fowler gave at least brief notice of their intention to vote for the acquiital of the Prcbident. Eveu Mr. Van Winkle, who had writteu an opinion in fuvor of the rleventb article, has nudu it perfectly plain that he can argue one way and voto another, unci that he had so much contempt for his own intellect that he held it a moral duty to vote against Us convictions, on the ground that they must inevitably be false ; but Mr. Ross played the pint of Stanley on Bnsworth field. He promised fidelity almost up to the moment that he broke faith. I buve it upon unquestionable uuthority that Mr. Ross mi Friday night placed his name on the list o( Republican Senators who held a consultation at Mr. Pomoroy's rooms, promising to vote for the fourth and elev enth articles. On Saturday morning the rumor was current that Mr. Ross would play false ; but it waj hardly credited. How he would vote was not positively knowu to the Republican Senators until after 12 o'clock, when he aunounced his intention to vote for acquittal.-, AVIio could foresee or pro ven! such shameless treachery as this ? Im peachment had the law ou its side, the facts on its side ; it had the consciences of thirty five Senators; but it had not Mr. Ross. This gentleman was sent from Kansas, to the Senate, not because- of his great mind or his ureut leuruine. but because he was willing to serve the railroad interests of that btate, aud could be depended upon to art as the agent of those powerful Corpora tions. Hu was the weak poiut in our lines weaker because it had been thought that his couetitueucy would keep him strong, luipeachmeut was thus lost by au accident for Mr. Ross is nothi ;g more." A lrfie amount of money was, no doubt, expended in obtainiog the acquittal of the President, but that is easily made up by his office hsfldors in this city. There are many imported articles, now sold like whiskey, apparently at less than cost, and the import duty. The whiskey ring alone eould aoon raise the needed amount. One' whiskey in jector, here, who received 12,800 per an ! i n from lio gov,.ru.n,.D, W1J tls B,.(,jr $5,000 per month from the rin. He, n6 doubt, contributed! largely to screen 'the1 President, and. well he might. Another distiller, who had been convldted of fraudu lent salcswai offered a pardon vfrom the President, if he would pay certain parties $30,000. TptriB were excited debatei in both Scoate and House on Monday last. t The; itopeacta ment verdict is still uppermost in all minds, and the eubjeet made ita appearance in every discussion on -whatever subject.., a clear and cmphatio expression was given to the prevailing feeling that corruption was at the bottom of the vote on Saturday, or as Mf.' Stevens expressed it, that there is ntton somewhere." Important developments are said to have been already made by the Managers' investigation, wuiuh is being pushed with vigor. , . i In October, 1800, Senator Trumbull, ina public speech in the Court House Square, at Chicago, "eloquently atated that he was In favor of tho immediate impeachment and removal of Johnson." The Chicago Journal, citing this, with his votes in' January and February last on the Stanton case, remarks: "Mr. Trumbnll is like the man of whom we read in 8ocred Writ, to w hom his Lord replied : 'Oh thou wicked servant, out of thine own mouth will I condemn thee.'

The gal leries were crowded, and the excitement in regard to the approaching session of the court was very great. Policemen were sta tioned in each aislo to preserve order.- Scarcely half a dozen Senators were on the floor when called to order, but they rapidly drop pod iu from tho committee and cloak' rooms. At 12 M. the Chief Justice assumed the chair and called the Court to order. The audience was instinctively hushed into momentary silccce when the Chief Jus tice took his scat and ordered proclamation to be made, but during the short time taken up by the reading of tho journal, the buz zing was resumed. The Secretary was ordered to notify tho House of Representatives that their presence was required in the Senate chamber. The sick Senators were in their places. Senator Howard was carried into the cham ber on a stretcher, attended by his physi cian ; Mr. Grimes remained in the cloak room until the voto was tuken ; "Mr. Conk ling was in his placo. There was, therefore, a Full Senate. Of tho Managers, Messrs. Stevenr., Bingham, and Logan were present at 12 o'clock. Mr. Evarts, of counsel for the President, was also present at that hour. Proclamation was made, and notice order ed to be given to the House. The first question in order was Mr. Wil liams' motion, as follows: Ordered, That the Chief Justice, in direct ing the Secretary to read the several articles of impeachment, Bhall direct him to read the eleventh article first, and the question shall be then taken upon that article, and thereafter the other ten succensively as they stand. So the court decided to take th vote on the articles, commencing with tho eleventh. While the voto was being taken the mem bers of the .House of Representatives were announced as at tho bar of tbo Senate. They entered beaded by Mr. Washbnrne, of Illinois, and attended by their Clerk and Doorkeeper. Most of the members had preceded them, and had tuken scats on the floor of the Senate chamber and in the galleries. Senator Fcsscndcn rose to make a motion to postpone the voto for one hour, on ac count of the absence of Senator Grimes ; but on being informed that the Senutor was in the Capitol, ho did not make the motion. Mr. Grimes immediately afterwards came into the chamber aud took a scat in one of the sido uisles. Mr. Kdmuuds then submitted an order to the Senate that the Senate do now pro ceed to vote on tho articles according to tho rules of tho Semite. Agreed to. The Chief Justice, rising, said : The Chief Justice desires to admonish the citizens and strangers In the galleries that absolute silence and perfect order is required.- It will bo a subject of infinite regret if any vio- i lation of tho rules of the Senate will precipi tate the execution of the further order that the pereons guilty of disturbance will be immediately removed. f hen addressing the Senators, the Chief Justice said : - I Senators : Ijx couformity to tho order of the Senate, tho Chief Justice will now pro ceed to take the vote on the eleventh arti clo, as directed by the rule. The eleventh article was read by the Clerk, as follows : XI. That said Andrew Johnson, Presi dent of the United States, unmindful of the Inch duties of his office and his oath of office, and in disregard of the Constitution and laws of tho United States, did; hereto fore, to wit : On the 18th day of August, 18G8, at the city of Washington and the District of Columbia, by publio spoech, do claro and affirm in substance, that the Thir ty uintU Congress of the United States was not a Congress of tho United States author ized by the Constitution to exercise legisla tive power under tbo same, but, on the con trary, was a Congress of ou!y psrt of the States ; thereby denying, und intending to deny, tlint the legislation of said Congress was valid or obligatory upon Mm, the said Andrew Johnson, except in so fares he saw fit to approve the same, and also thereby denying the power of the said Thirty-ninth Congress to propose amendments to tho Constitution ol the. United States ; and in pursuance of said declaration, the said An drew Johnson, President of the United States, afterwards, to wit: on the twentv- first day of February, 1888, at the city of Washington, D. U., tiicl, unlawfully, and in disregard ot the requirements ot the Con stitution that ho should take care that the laws he faithfully executed, bttcmpt to pre vent the execution of an act entitled "An act regulating Hie tenure of certain civil otbcea," pusseti ilarcu 3, 18G7, by unlaw fully devising, and coutriving aud attempt ins to devise aud contrive, means by which he should prevent Edwin M. Stan ton from forthwith returning the (unctions of the uUice-ot secretary tor the Depart ment of War, notwithstanding tho refusal of the Senate to concur in the suspension theretoforo made by said Andrew Johnson of said Edwin M.Stanton from said office of Secretary for the Department of War; and also by further unlawfully devising and contriving, and attempting to devise and contrive, meant then and there to prevent the execution of an act entitled "An act making appropriations for tho support of the army for' the fiscal year ending June 80, 1808, aud for other purposes, approved March 20, 1887," and also to prevent tho execution of an act entitled "An act to pro vide for the more efficient government of the rebel States, passed March 9, 1867," whereby the said Andrew Johnson, Presi dent of tin United States, did then, it on itfTaist day. of February, 868, at Aho city of Washington, commit andj wa guilty of a high misdemeanor in office. I ( . . Amid 'perfect silence the Chief Justieo commenced taking the verdict. The first name on tho roll, that of Senate Anthony, being called, that Senator rose in bis place, and the Chief Justice, also atand injr addressed to him this formula: "Mr, Senator Anthony, how say you, is the re spondent Andrew Johnson, President of the United BUtes, guilty or not guilty of a high misdemeanor as sharged in the article. Senator Anthony responded "guilty," and so the voto went on until all tho Senators had responded, the voto summing yeas oo, navVlO, aa follows: f Yeas Anthony, Cameron, Catlell, Chan dler, Cole, Coukllng, Conness, Corbett, Cragin, Drake, Edmunds, Ferry, Freling huyscn, Harlan, Howard, Howe, Morgan, Morrill (Me.,) Morrill (Vt., Morton, Nye, Patterson, (N.

Immediately after the vote on the eleventh article, Mr. Williams moved an adjournment to Tuesday, 20th instant, which, after some debate, was finally agreed to. The Seen In the Senate on Nut or dnyIMflerent Theories of the Chase Defection. Washington, May 17, 1808. At eleven o'clock, on Saturday, nearly two thousand spectators looked down on tho Senate floor, nervously, impatiently awaiting the hour when the final voto on the articles of im peachment was to be taken. At half-past eleven the Senate met. Nearly every bench was occupied, and when Mr. Conkling ap peared, the Republicans took hope and con solation. Senator Howard was absent, but then Mr. Grimes was away too. Between half past eleven and twelve there was some dull, dry routine legislation, if tho introduc tion of resolutions and land bills may be termed as such. , At twelve o'clock, Benjamin F. Wade left the chair, and the Chief Justice took tho vacated seat. He called the Senate to order as a court, and the scrgeant-at-arms made the usual proclamation. Then the galleries were warned that if there were the slightest interruption they would be cleared. Senator Williams moved that tbo court proceed to vote on the eleventh article first. Mr. How ard entered the chamber at this time in evi dently a very feeble condition, and the Re publican impeachment .'ranks were full. Grimes was absent, but nobody missed him except the President's friends. The galleries were now hushed into breathless silence. The Secretary began to call the roll ; it was tho opening of the battle, the exchange of shots between the picket lines. Anthony (doubtful) at once put an end to all uncer tainty 89 to his position by voting aye ; it resulted 35 yeas to 19 nays. The vote was regarded generally as a measure of strength, though it in no way involved the question of guilt or innocence. The Chief Justice then rose and directed the Secretary to read tho eleventh article. At the conclusion, Mr. Chase again rose and read from a piece of piper, "Mr. Senator Anthony, how say you, is the respondent, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, guilty or not gnilty of high misde meanor as charged in this article ?" Mr. Anthony's voice faltered and his head trem bled. Mr. Grimes was brought into the chamber at this time, and took a seat near the side door : here was another vote against conviction. Mr. Anthony stood while tho question was being pronounced. All eyes were centered ou him, and every neck was stretched to catch the first syllable upon which so much depended. Firmly and de cidedly he answered "Guilty," and the first doubtful Senator was ' no longer doubtful. Then came the question again to Bayard, and the President got ono ballot in his favor. It counted two, however, under the two-thirds rule. Buckalew followed on the game sidy. When tho Chief Justice said "Mr. Senator Cameron" the venerable Sena tor rose promptly, but not so calm as he usually is. It was evident that now his earnestness had passed into excitement. IJefore Mr. Chose had completed the ques tion Mr. Cameron was ready with his an swer "Guilty," he said, with an emphasis which showed that bis heart was for con viction, and soon through the list to Fow ler; hero was the next doubtful man. He had a cringing, skulking kind of n manner. Tbo Chief Justice put the question. He nervously rubbed his lips with his black gloved hand and answered in a totally in distinct voice. Sumner, two or three henches away, looked scornfully' at bim and said, "We cannot hear the gentleman." He spoke a little more loudly, "Not Guilty." It may be that at "that moment he remem bered his own words, "if we refuse to de pose Andrew Johnson the blood of the loyal tnen slain in the South wilt be on our souls." When Ross was called on tho ex citement was intense. He had appcarqd ex cessively nervous and frightened all the rooming, and was constantly busy in tearing white paper into small fragments, till the floor around him was liko snow. "Not guilty," said Mr. Ross, and it was felt that impeachment was dead on tho eleventh ar ticle, for no one depended upon the honesty of Van Wiukle. Mr. Ross bad reason for his fears, for I have it from the highest au thority that on Friday night, at the con ference at Senator Pomeroy'g, the renegade Senator from Kansas placed his name on tho list and promised to vote for tho secor.d, third, fourth and tleventb articles. Ho had been brought over to the President on Saturday morning, and no man in the Sen ate was guilty of a more deliberate and cowardly treachery he concealed his inten tions up to the ) ist moment. He says that he does not care to go back to Kansas. That impeachment is not abandoned the adjournment of the court to the 28th proves. After'tue defeat of the eleventh article, considered the strongest, the impeachers wanted time to consider, but it is probable cow that the whole thing is dead, A vote will probably be tuken on each articlo, and the men put on record, but the President is not likely to bo removed. J The Board of Managers held a consulta tion last night and were again this evening deliberating upon the course to be pursued iu the investigation of the alleged bribery aud corruption of Senators, A brother of Senator Ross was before them last eveuiug, and it i asserted that they are on the track of some very important aud startliug trans actions. They will have a meeting, to-morrow, for the examination of certain parties who uiado themselves particularly' conspi cuous during the trial in upholding the Presi dent's aide of the case. Senator Fowler, who lived in the tame house with Colouel Forney, has changed hi residence aud goue over to a Copperhead hotel iu Georgetown, where Senator McCreery, of Kentucky, rooms. Mr. Heuderaon hag also engaged room at the tame liotcL . The defeat of the eleventh article has ceased to be the excitement of Washington. us vm iu uhi i ui iuu new party, 01 WU1C1I it is said Chief - Justice Chase is to bo the leader and the candidate. . These rumors are complicated with others, which suggest that Mr. Chase and bis friends are in treaty for the Demooratie nomination. I give you these rumora simply as a report of what is going on in the Capital, not aa facta (or which I can vouch. This is what U said by the ruineot npullicans. First, ths on piracy on the part f Messrs. Feaaenden, Trumbull & Co., lnclndoa not roeroly the defeat of impeachment,- but of the Republi can party and of the candidates of the Chicago Convention, ' - t Solar as Mr. Chase it Concerned, it is known, for he does not hesitate to say, that ho holds that-the Republican party hat been led in a wrong direction, and that ho has always been opposed to impeachment. He hat not abandoned, these principles, which he claima to be Republican. Ho believes in universal auffrage and in univer sal amnesty. Within the last few days Mr. Chase has atated that if the Republican party should.-persist in ita present path, a new party would inevitably be organized. That the Republican party is unlikely in the extreme to modify ita policy while Ant drew Johnson ia in power, must be plain to every one who know the feeling of the people and of Congress. It la logical to be lievo that the new organization will be effected.' Besidos that it is certain that Messrs. Trumbull, Fesstaden, Henderson, and their fellows, will never again be trusts ed by the party they have betrayed. The Chicago Convention will deal with them at desartors. ; These gentlemen having , been turned out of the Republican party, with little hope- of gutting into4 the Democratic4 organization, will naturally desire to make a political pnrgatory of their own. Mr, Trumbull expects to carry a large portion of the vote of Illinois. -' With him Mr. Fes senden has great faith In his influence over Maine, and Mr. Henderson has openly ex pressed his conviction that the defeat of impeachment would be enthusiastically received by the people. They will cheerful ly unite ' with any effort to make a conser vative party which shall be in tho control of the old established office holders. The young aspiring souls of the- Republican par ty, the leaders who within a few years have sprung from the people, are to be driven frota power, The new party will not oppose tho admission of the Southern States; In fact, they prefer them admitted immediately. They say that Mr. Chase will carry a very large part of the colored vote. Tin: CIHCAUO CONVK.VITOTV. The CouteKt lor the Yice.IrcMldcn cy I'cnton, Colfax, lVudc, Wil hob nod Curtln In the l-'Ield. CnrcAoo, May 19. The city is more densely crowded to-night than it was nt the time of either the Lincoln Convention of 18C0, or tho McClellan Convention of 1864. Not only is every hotel and privato board ing house full, but many of the private resi dences contain guests. The Soldier's Con vention which met to-day contributed to this crowd ; but the country for a hundred miles around the city has also sent its dele gations to help canvass for Wado and Col fax. Tho train from Nctf York this morn ing enlarged the outside delegation from that State for Gov. Fenton, and at least a thousand men are at work this eveniug for that gentleman. The last: of the Southorn delegations that of South Carolina ar rived to-day, and they wero immediately beset to know whom they would favor. All the other delegations have been visited by committees from the different States, urging their respective candidates. . This morning the interest was increased by a narade of the Soldiers1 ami Sailors' delegates to their convention. It was a very creditable display, both in point of numbers and in spectacular effect. It form ed in Court House square, and marched up Clark street, to Turners' Hall.- As it passed the office of Tim Chicago Tribune a Repub lican newspaper which has opposed impeach ment the men in line, especially tbo Illinois delegation, groaned and hooted, and simultaneously the bacchanalian song, "Old Grimes is dead," was sung all along tho Hue; The greatest enthusiasm prevail ed. Chicago, May 20. The Convention was called to order at 10 a. m., by Gov. Ward, of New Jersey, and a temporary organization was effected. It is thought now that a permanent organisation will be effected, and that Grant will be nominated at a lute hour to-duv, and then adjourn until to mor row, when the platform will be announced, and a Vice President nominated. A feeling now prevails not to sny much on impeachment, beyond a general resolution on the subject endorsing the action of Con gress. There is a decided majority of the Con vention against designating any of tho Senators who voted to acquit tho President. Tiie question of tho Vico Presidency is still very much mixed. Now combinations aro made almost every hour. An effort is being made to secure harmony in the Penn sylvania delegation by au agreement to cast a solid vote for Curtin and then to co over to Wade. It looks now as thouuh it miidit be effected. If it should succeed Wade wilm be nominated. The friends of Fcntm profess to be very coulldent to day, but ho hos little strength outside of New York. Mr. Colfax is growing stronger every hour and it is now settled that if Mr, Fen ton is withdrawn, New York will cust a solid vote for Mr. Colfax, which will mako him a very formidable candidate. The vote of New England is divided be tween Wilson and Hamlin. If they could ngreo-Riuong themselves they could securo the Vice President.

He will thus have a majority iq the Convention to begin with. General John F.
