"Oh, not" they answered, "we hear no speaking, We hear no voices upon the breeze; It must be only the night wind lonely That sighs and whispers among the trees." "Oh, hush 1" she murmured, "I hear them singing Singing the songs I used to know ;" And while ee listened, the tear-drop glis. tened, And through long lashes began to flow. "Oh, no!" they answered, "we hear nosing ing, We hear no voices singing so; 'Tie but the waking of sea waves breaking Upon the shingle far below." "Oh, hush 1" she whispered, "I hear them I crlling. sweet -voices of the long ago :" And while ee listened, the long light glis tened, And lay on her sweet face, white as snow.

We find ihe following special dispatch from Wasiiington in the Chicago Re publican of Saturday. What, gives it special significance is thu fct that it was telegraphed from here on Friday night, and published before the meeting ] of the court on Saturday. Yet the d.' feat of impeachment is foretold, and the names of -five out of the seven Republi can Senators who voted for acquittal are given as Mr. Chase's confederates. Mr. d Bundy who is natued as the autharity forghe mair. statement, is a gentleman whose statements are entitled to the credit: THE PLOT TO DEFEAT THI IMPNAOHIMENT . --STAnTLING DEVELOPMENTS. t There have been startling develop ments here to day, which show conclu. 1 eively that there has been a regular conspiracy on the part of Chief Justice t Chase and renegade Rteptublican Sena. I tors to defeat the ampeachmrent and ele vate the former to the Presidency, at the I cost of breaking up the Republican party. STA&TJCMENT BY CHIEF JUSTICE CHABIC. Nightihefore last Chief Justice Chase invited Hion. IH. S. Buudy, member of the Thirty Ninth Congress from Ohio, to call upon him, and stated that he had some important matters to talk about. Mr. Bundy having long shared the confidence of the Cief Justice, and being heretofore his firmi eupporter and personal friend, accepted the invita tion. During the interview Mr. Chase told Mr. Buindy dhat it was his in'er.tion to become a candidate for the Presidency, on the Democratic ticket, and not suc ceeding in this, hie should enter the1 .mena as an independent candidate ii nGen. Grant. Of his own sue cess lie said there could be no doubt. The imipeachiment wouild fail, and thus faili'ng wounld divide th~e Republican party, and Senators like Trumbull. Fee seyulen, Henderson, Grimes and Fowler would be recognized as head of' one di vision of the Republican party ; and these. five men, lhe said, had pledged themiselves, ten days ago, that te wvould stand by and suippor. him in this tuovement. Thes Chisi Justice g1ve Mr. Bundly his views in full on tis movement, speaking very confidently as eto its success, and prediciing the down (ai1 of Ra~diqalivnm, as represented by the advocates of imipeachment. - 110w TitEitnEVKIAT10N OAME AnIOUT. * h~istgeason on the part of thse Chief .Jistide e ast'onishd iMr. Bundy that lie at once communicated what had been ~said1ato leading Radicais here. The whole miatter lins been kept very quiet, atnd the conspiracy was so apparent that leadingSenators to-day nlged upon th~e members of the buard' of' managers to take immediate eope in the matter. The managers, howev.r, sai-l that they had no power to do sQ. They had been cornmissioned with a 'diuty to perform, and that ditty had been done, and their case was in the hanida of the canen.

Thus far, but ew have been informed as to this ex raordinary languago of the Chief Jus ice, but it having been communicated o the managers, your correspondent is iow at liberty to make it public. ?URTH[E.R PROOF OF TU CONSPIRA CY. Stitt another proof is given to show ,hat, there has been a conspiracy to de. 'eat the impeachment. Senator Hen. lerson last night told Mr. McClurg, nember of Congress from Missouri, that to and those other Republicans who roted to sustain the President had as urances from Mr. Johnson that if the mpeachment was defeated, he would eorganize his Cabinet by making Wm. 4. Evarts, .Secretary of State ; Samuel looper, of Massachusetts, Secretary of he Treasury ; Reverdy Johnson, At orney-General, and Gen. Schofield, Secretarvof War. That this may not be considered as a nero invention on the part of Mr. Hen lerson, gotten up for this occasion, fur her testimony was elicited in support of t today, by the Missouri delegation, rom two St. Louis gentlemen now hero, vho say that Lhis was communicated to hem eight days ago, by Mr. Hender. on. in confidtce. Wit'i these facts in the possession of he Radicals, it occasioned the greatest xcitement here among those informed f them.

'i[ RADICAL JKADIERIS OF 1860 AND 1868 CONTnASTED. z A moment's glance at the present ituation of the Radical party will serve o show the contrast between its condi- v ion in 1860 and 1868. Among the onspicutous members of the Republican )on ventioln 6l 1860 we.re such men as rancis P. Blair, Wm. M. Evarts and host of others embodying the talent nd respectability of the Convention ; a 2ajority of whom are now ranked t mong the most decided opponent) of a ha Radicals. In the Chicago Conven. v ion of that year there were four promi- C ent-condidates for the Presidential nom. c nation--Lincoln, Seward, Chase and t lates. Tie last act of Lincoln's life t was to originate and adopt the policy of oohnson. Bates abandoned the pres. lit Radical organfzation before Lincoln ied ; Seward is an active enemy of' tadic'ilism, and if there is one man in . he United States wkom the Radicals of o.day hate more bitterly than' Andrew ohnson, that man is Salmon P. Chrse. 'hen Chase, and Trumbull. and Fessen en, and Grimes, and Doolittle and Dix-t n, and Stauberry and a host of other c reat names were in the ranks of the t tepublicans. Now, they are either J eting openly with the Demouracv, or re read out of the Radical party by the a ot heads who control it. Nor is this 1I that is nottceable, While the states. nen of the Republican unrty have aban-' lotted radicalism, the vicious and reacherous elements of the Democratic arty have entered its fold. T1hie partyC vhichi became too corrupt for Chase an'd C )oolittle, Bates and Evarts, has dlemon. trated, its affinity for Butler and Logan, tanton and Dan Sickles. The leaders f the Radical party to day--the mna who have Grant in their keeping-w~ere lamorous for secession in 1860, and r ustifled the Southern States in resortinlg o arms to repel tihe exercise of Federal ' ower. Now. Butler, Logan, Stanton ad Dan Sickies are blatant Radical lemagogues, and are accorded the high. I at positions of honour in tihe party that o recently desnIsed them. Thiey take! , ake the places once occulpied by Sew- I *rd, Chase, Trumbull, Stanberry and' thers like them. ( Albany Argus.

My DEAR Sln : When I road the )ceOdings of the Deinocratic Con. ition, in Columbia, I remarked to 9 of the delegates from Barnwoll it I thought it particularly unfortu to for us that the convention had pressed any opinion pn the subject negro suffrage. It is on this very estion that the Democracy and Con vatives of the North will do battle h the Radical, revolutionary party it has seized the Government. To ike now from the platform the last nk upon which the party can stand, ms to me the most impolitic thing it the convention could have done. annot conceive of political e-quality hout social equality, the one is a uence of the other. We must go o this fight with the party banner ti this is "The White Man's Govern. et," it is more important to us in South than to the friends of the natitution in the North, and we not y weaken our own cause but give a al blow to the cause of constitu- I nal liberty by yielding the prinei. t suppose no delegate will feel him f bound by this declaration of the' Lte Convention. I certainly would I do not expect to be able to at d the Democratic Convention in w York next July, although it aid give me great pleasure to be e to do, but I am too poor to get ay from home. Yours, truly and respectfully, A. P. ALDRICH. RIETT.

After.:; several months' courtship, the ceremony was duly performed at the First Presby. terman church in Lexington, and the I happy pair, with buoyant hopes, took the afternoon train for this city to spend t the honeymoon. The hours. on rosy wings, flew swiftly by. The brideg ont congratulated himself upen the prize lie had won, and, in blissful ignorance ot F "breakers ahead," arrived at thu. Met- i chants Hotel, where it suite of rooms a had been engaged for the happy couple, < and awaited their reception A fter their s arrival in the Queen City, and enjoying t supper, the bride retired to her chainber, - and the groom, a spirited voung fellow, thought lie would have at i, with the r boys and see the elephant a little while V before retiring to this arms of Morpheus C and hits fair bride. The result of this f little raid around town can better be C imagined than explained ; and we are i surprised to say, instead of the groom I who is a zealous '"'nod Ternplar," re turning "right, side up," he was, to use s a mild expression, 'jolly tight," an his t newly-made wife refused to admit him, o and pert istently avowed that she .would e return home on the morrow ; and, ring. o ing the bell, alarmed the clerk, who r provided an extra bridal caihr Iqr t one, and the groom was soon sleeping d profoundly. On the morrow, after having passed o the night in profound slumber, all un- t conscious of having any wife, lie was as- p tonished to learn that she had deserted s him. But such was the fact.. She had fi returned to her parents, in Fayette t county, where she still remains, refis r ing thus far, to become reconciled to the 11 mnan who could desert her on their first g night of wedded life for the society of t male friends.

Editors Aulaanch'e : GNTs: An influence is at work in this State, as F have discovered since my recent departure from Memnhia, to preclude any participation by the late Confederate soldiers in the coning con. vent ion of the Democracy of Tennessee, to be held at Nashville on the 9th of June, and in the National Democratio Convention, to be held at New York on the 4th of July. It does not amount to a purpose to arbitrarily do this thing ; but is felt in efforts to induce in every one who took atny part in the recent struggle of the Confederacy for independence to de cline attending at these assemblies upon pretended grounds of expediency, and to submit the representation of Tennessee at New York to men who were known to be for the Union. Upon consultation with many of my late associates in the war, I have con cluded to advise against any further po litical emasculation of ourselves in the party movements of the State. We are already sufficiently proscrib ed in the constitution and statues which now govern the State, against our con. sent, the proscription of which have, through the mendacious hostility of our legislative enemies, been added to time and again, until now we barely live uni. der the accumulated weight of disfran chisement and oppression. Shall we superad, by our own action, to those proscriptions and. exorcisms of ourselves from all participation in the assemblies of the State and National Democracy, and publish to the world a confession that we are too unworthy to intrude ourselves into the counsels of the party I? The National Democratic party, through its commlittoe, have invited us to take part in the convention which is to as semble inl New York on the 4th of July. It proscribes no test oaths, no qualifica tions dependent upon the part we have taken in the late war. but, like a true constitutional party, it opens its doors and invites all who may choose to come without refere'ice to the past. To sug gest then an answer to, so catholic an invitation, that we who are the true representatives of the greater portion of the constitutional men of the State feel ourselves unworthy to soil the delibera tions of that Convention with our pres ence, would exhibit us in attitude of servile degradation, that I trust we have not reached as yet. In this view of the case, then, it is my advice (given from a sense of duty, and against a reluctance which is adverse to any personal display of myself in a matter of this kind) to all my comrades to participate in the coun ty meetings, and to send up full delega tions to Nashville, on the 9th of June, composed of good and true men, without retorence to the divisions which were made by the war. The only hope of a restoration of a good government in this coutry is in the success 'of the National; Democracy in the next Presidential campaign. I trust my late comrades will not, from expe diency or other motives, absent them. selves from a participation in the politi cal exercises which are to result in the choice of standard bearers, made with a view to so patriotic and desirable an end. So far as I am personally con. cerned, I have no desire to take any pait in polities, nor to occnpy any political position wihastever; bult 1(1 do ot wish to see my State represented by men whose only claim to public favor is thle dexter ity with) which they took either side of' tile question in tile late war, as interest dictated, and who bank unon it as their only caipital for popular snipport.
