The interest in /1:03 inl3.3seed

that one or more of the artieles--ge4erally
the eleventh—would be voted for by those
who were believed to be against, conviction.
The Ma agent count up this morning one
majority for conviction certain, but the ill
ness of Senator HoWard continues. Ms
physicians have declared that his life
woultbe endangered should he be brought
to the , 'lCapitol to cast his vote. It has been
deterifilned, therefore, to postpone the final
vote fOr some days, probably until Satur
day or Monday. Should Mr. Howard re
cover, the Managers are yet contident the
President's removal Will be effected.
At a-concuti of, the Republican Senators
;ink held, it was decided to postpone the
final vote until Saturday next. This will. I
undoubtedly-pass,the Senate.
There Is no abatement in the excitement

three or four articles, and this insures one
more than is necessary for a two-third vote,
including the vote of Senator-Wade.
Senator Ilow,rd• was taken very ill yes
terday, with the brain fever, and .was in
quite a critical condition•-during•• all-•last

NEW YORK, May 12.—The Herald is of
the opinion that the Senate will convict
Johnson after all. -If be is acquitted it will
be because the Radicals fear that they will
be worse oil with Wade than Johnson.

The Times thinks that Mr. Johnson will
be convicted en someone artieles,
and that he will be removed, although the
defection among the Radical Senators is
quite zmarked: alltetvditorlimagines that
on the second and third articles Mr. John

The Tribune has a dispatch from Wash

that tlloward's - physiolans are of opinion
'that he will be able to take his seat in the
