. 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 Senate met at 11.30 A.M. 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,

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.

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.

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. As matters now stand,
it is Very difficult to tell why will carry off

Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio, U backed up by
the Democracy of all the great West, end
by Maryland and Maine; and it is probable
that all the Southern States, inside and
outaide, will go for Pendleton. He will
thus have a majority iq the Convention to
begin with.
General John F. Farnsworth has been
renominated by the Republicans of the
Second Congressional District of Illinois aa
their candidate for Congress. - At the last
election he received 16,283 votes, against
