CONGRESS AND THE IMPEACHMENT MUDDLE. WASHINGTON, March 5.-IN THE HOUSE Ur. Bell introduced a resolution for providing a successor, should the Chief Justiceship become vacant, the oldest commission to succeed until a chief is duly appointed. A resolution to print three thousand copies of the impeachment articles was adopted. The committee ou banking and currency wero directed to inquire into tho expediency of amending the banking laws to relieve the State Banks in process of liquidation from making monthly statements and the tax on circulation. A motion was made that the House iu com? mittee attend tho impeachment managers to witness tho organization ot the court, but it was withdrawn at the suggestion of Mr. Bing? ham, that only tho managers were expecied, and there were no accommodations on the floor of ?he Senate to seat the House. Thu man? agers then withdrew, followed by many mem? bers, leaving about forty in the House, who proceeded with thc Tennessee election case. For the first timo m several years the Demo? crats found themselves in a majority in the ' House of Representativos. Without conclud? ing the election case the House adjourned. IN THE SENATE a resolution of thanks to Con? gress, Grant and Stanton, was presonted from the South Carolina Convention. Tho bill for rebuilding warehouses at Fort? ress Mom oe waa passed. A bili was introduced to rebuild tbo levees on the east bank of thc Mississippi, to reclaim thc Yazoo River lands. Chief Justice Chase appeared, supported by a committee of managers, followed and sup? posed by a large number of members of tho ' House. Mr. Wade then announced that "all business would then bo suspended for tho pur? pose of entering into the proceedings required . by the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, Pres? ident of the United States. The chair will now be vacated for that purpose." Mr. Chase then advanced and took the chair, and said : ''Senators, I am hero in obedience to your ootice, for the purpose of proceedine; with you in forming a court of impeachment for the trial of Andrew Johnson, President cf tho United States. I am now ready to take tho oath." Justice Nelson administered thc oatli prescribed by the Senalo'y rules of procedure. Mr. Chase thou administered the oath to the j senators in alphabetical order, until Wade ap- 1 preached, when Senator Johnson objected lo j his becoming a member of *he court because ? he had- a contingeut inter ot. A discussion j then ensued, lasting till five o'clock, when, on ' motion, Judge Chase adjourned the court, j when Wado resumed his seat, and, ou motion, , adjourned the Senate. 9 P. M.-No progress whatever was mado during nearly four hours debate this afternoon. Utter confusion provails regarding the mode of procedure. A dozen senators spoke, no two agreeing upon the details. Among the points made to thc satisfaction of the different speak? ers were the following : Mr. Wade having an interest, had no right in the court; being a aenator of Ohio, it was his duty to act and Tote. Though Wade had tho right to vote, it was a matter for his owu conscience. That when the President came to tho hoi' it was time to make challenges. That tho Piesi dent had no right whatever to chal? lenge his judges, the constitution providing them for him. That it was a duly in organizing to keep the organization pure. That if, at the ond, tho scales were equally bal? anced, that into which you throw Wade's per? sonal interest would kick the beam. That they were a court-that they were a Senate-that with oidy half tho members sworn they wore neither one nor tho other. Thus the argument progressed until nearly five o'elock, when sen? ators remarking that Judge Chase had been on duty since ten o'clock, moved an adjournment. Howard objected. They had a rule tor adjourn? ment; the court was accordingly adjourned by that rulo, end the Senate was loft in session. The managers were in attendanco all the even? ing, evidently impaii ent to begin work. Lar^e Bombern visited the President to-day. Stanton gtffj sleeps in the War Department. Thomas goe.-: there for his private mails. The revenue to-day $725,000. Judge Chase adjouruod tho Supreme Court at one o'clock for ono hour, expecting to re? turn from tho Senate in that time, not com i ig. Judge Feld adjourned the court until to? morrow. They-are still balloting at Annapolis for a United States Senator; eo far without result. The Reconstruction Conventions. GEORGIA.

Du Chaillu, tho celebrated African explorer, gave the first of a course of lectures in that city on African exploration. He had a full house, and his subject was "Tho Gorilla and its habits, tho Gibbon, Orang-Outaug, Chimpanzee, and the Affinity of these to Man." The lecturer, in his introductory remarks, said that the region of Africa through which he had travelled, and of which he proposed to speak, Jay on each side ot the equator two or three degrees, and extended to a point not far from fifteen degrees east longitude. Tho journey lay principally through dense fon o ts, which were travelled for miles with? out healing the voice of a bird or any? thing to break the awful silence that reigned supreme. Nuts and berries were fhero in abundance, and Ut was soon learned that this waa the country of the gorilla. M. DuChaillu then recounted his first adventure with ono of these animals. Thore were five persons in the company at tho time, and coin? ing suddenly into the presence of a hugo malo gorilia, thoy fired upon him, but were so greatly excited tn at they all missed him, ami thc ' animal cscapod. Subsequently he killed thirty-ono gorillas at different UUIOH. \ popular "superstition of the Africans is, that the gorillas have once been men, but lave changed in somo unaccountable man? ner lo their present condition. Tho roar of :ho gorilla is terrible to hear, sounding at first like distant thunder. Sometimos it is ike the sharp, quick bark of an infuriated log, only a great deal louder, and gradually . is-iuniea the character ol' a deep, rumbling uoiee, reminding ono of the far-away thun? der beforo a great storm. When enraged thc animal beats his breast furiously with his hands. M. DuChail.u's former impres? sion that the gorilla was not gregarious, bas been wholly changed by what he observed in very recent explorations." As many as ten have Leen seen together at one time, living in pairs. At uight tho female sleeps in the top of a tree, and the male, as her protector, on the ground at the loot ol' the tree. Thoy cannot be tamed, lie tried the experiment oight times and failed, t hey seem to hate tho sight of man, and cannot be made to eat our food. One day he shot a female, and took from her company a littlo go? rilla, with white complexion, and smooth, straight hair. Little "Tommy," as the captive was called, remained with tho company for some time, und became so far civilized that ho would get thunk whenever au opportunity W36 affoided. Ho seomed to acquire a son. of notion of the rights of property; for if any ono took his littlo red cap, or pillow, ho would cry loudly and piteously until they were returned to him. Chaillu made an elaborate discussion of the affinity of the various species of apes to man. In doing so, he said that the arms of tho gibbon reach to thc ground; those of Ibo orang-outang to the ankles, of the chimpanzees a little below tho knees, ol' the gorilla a little above the kuees, and of mau to the middle of the thighs. These apes all havo thirteen ribs, while man has but twelve. ? There are nineteen bones in a human baud, and thc samo number in those of the apes. Thc thumbs of tho latter are joined to thc first fingors. Tho hand of the gorilla is shorter than his foot, and in the latter, which is nothing but a great hand, there are tho same number of bones aa in a man's foot. The teeth ?I thc .eroiiUa, chimpanzee, &c, are thirty-two in number, and after tho canino teeth*have been worn dowu, they appear much like the teeth of a human being. When the gorilla grows up, a ridge, an inch or two in height, grows out of tho skull, and runs directly from a point above the nose back to a level with tho top ol' the ears. With reference to tho brain capacity, M. Du Chaillu said that tho averago in thc gorilla is t\enty-eigbt cubic inches (with very littlo growth from infancy) and tho I'ighos thirty-four cubic inches, while in man tho capacity of the lowest averago is sixty three cubic inches, and that of the highest civilization one hundred and fourteen cubic inches. Thc head of man sits far easier upon the vertebral column than that of the apo. Tho structure of tho vertebral column of man shows that ho was from the first intended to walk erect, while that ot the ape shows an adaptation to the use of "all-fours" in locomo? tion. IL du Chaillu closed his able lecture with the most emphatic declarations of his be? lief in the superiority ol' man to, and his dis? tinct difference from, the annuals ot the Afri? can torcst of which he had spoken. BASK DEFALCATION IN WASHINGTON.-Tho Washington Star of Monday evening mentions thc discovery of a heavy defalcation at tao banking house ol George W. Biggs & Co., ot that city. Tho Star says: Tho accused poison is ?Ir. John C. Clarile, tor the past twenty years teller at the bank, mid ono of the most trusted cmp'ovoes oi tho firm. In the cat ly part of last week', Mr. Ric gs discovered an error in the cash accouut of I Mr. Clurko, and, upon mentioning the fact, Mr. C. immediately accompanied Mr. Riggs to his private office, where, it is said, he made a full confession ot thc whole matter, acknowledging th it ho had for somo limo past beeu using 'ohe money of the bank to loan to 6omo ol' his friends, but expected to havo returned the same before it was discovered, and that he had appropriated for that purpose between $30,000 and $40,000. Ho immediately transferred to Air. Riggs nil bis property-valued at $12.000 or S15.U00-consisting ola largo brick house on I street, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth .streets, and other property hi different sec? tions of the city. He also handed Mr. R. about $26,000 worth of paper, which is properlv en? dorsed and secured, and upon which" the uioncv will be realized. Besides this, bc will transfer to Mr. Riggs all his right to a large claim which be has in New 1 ork city, and which will be paid in tho courso of'f, tow mon NIH. thus making the money all good, and preventing any loss to the bank. Mr. Riggs and the other members of the firm express great regret at the occurrence, as Mr. Clarke has been with them from boyhood, and always enjoyed the esteem and confidence of each member of the firm. With tho advice of his friends he bas left thc eily. No action w.H be taken against bim by Mr. Riggs, as the bank loses Lei thing. THIN GS IN WASHINGTON THE IMPEACHMENT. DEMOCRATIC PROTEST AGAINST THE ABBI TH: EULE OF THE EADICAL MAJORITY IN CONGEES The annexed is the protest ot tho Der eratic members nf tho HOUEO of Represen tive?, offere-i on Monday last, after the artic of impeachment had been gone through w m that body, but which the House refused receive, or even allow to be printed : Tho undersigned, members of the Forti< Congress of the United States, represent] directly, or in principle, more than one-hall the whole people of the United States, hereby, in the name of law and order, and behalf of th ise they represent, most solenn protest against tho tyranny and injustice pri deed by the majority t>f the Houeo in violati ino sacred right of free debate and unce .strained deliberation upon the greatest qm tiona ever brought before an American Co gross. - The rules of the House, made for the pi tfation of minorities, aud "by a strict adh< ence to which the weaker party can only protected from those irregularities and abus which the wantonness of power is but U often apt to suggest to largo and 6ucceB8f majorities," have been, during thiB enturo Co grese, in violation of their true spirit and i tent, wantonly and unprecedentedly suspend? and set aside, not upon a particular ana pres inp; matter, but upon all pending subjects legislation, so that by tho reckless and art trary suspension of tho rulos, and tho wantc abuse of the previous question, thc rights tho minority have been utterly disregardci tho House of Representatives bas ceased to I a deliberativo body, and tho minority have boc compelled to voto upon tho moBt importai questions without any proper or reasonab time for debate or consideration. To such a extent has this dangerous and oppressive prai tice obtained that measures affecting vitall tho whole country and thc direct interests < our constituents, fonding, as wo believe, to tb subversion of our republican form of goven ment, in their very naiuro domanding of tb people's representatives thc met careful exau manum and scrutiny, have been burne through the forms of legislation without boin printed, without one word of debate, or on moment's consideration; without, indeed, th opportunity of the undersigned to protost, cs cept in violation of tho then operating rulo er forced by the majority as the "order of th House." These alarming abuses of power might nc seem to demand this formal proteBt if wo wer not forced to the belief that a dotcmiinatioi exists with tho majority to rovolutionizo thi government by destroying tbo other co-ordi nate branches and vosting all thc power of tb government in Congress. In the stops takini to depose the President of the United State: we aro admonished that there is noondto thci oppressive moasures* to cripple the power am silence the voice of tho minority. The resolution was puehed through tho Housi under the operation of tho previous question referring the matter to the Committee on Rc construction; the committee, in hot haste Bitting when the House was hi session, ii violation of one of its express rules, consider ed aud by a strict party voto adopted and pre sented it again to thc House for its action And then was exhibited ono of the most extra ordinary spectacles ever witnessed in a dclibc rative parliamentary body. Members wen allowed Bomo thirty, some twenty, somo ton some ti vc, some ono minute only to discust tho most momentous questions ever pro Bented in Congress. Many could not get ever ono minute under tho arbitrary rule of the ma? jority. . And more than half of those even ol ?he pal ty voting to enforce tho previous ques> tion, who desired to bo heard, were permitted spceches'only in tho "Globe," after the question upon tho resolution was decided, aud which were never delivered in tho House No com? ment can demonstrate more completely than tho facts themselves tho viciousness and ille? gality of such proceedings. But this wanton and flXOOHdiv? UHn of tho po n or or t-ho majority does not stop here. While the coni.mttoo were in session upon tho further proceedings lo re? move the President, and in anticipation of ils action, nuder the operation of tho previous quoiition, without debate, in violation of an ex? press rule, new, special and most extraordina? ry rules for the . on duct ot this proceeding, changing, without previous notico, tho stand? ing rules of the House, were adopted to further limit debate and more completely to placo thc minority in the power and at<hc mercy of thc majority. Thus, wbilo tho majority of C ingress are warring upon tho other co-ordinato depart? ments-the executive and judicial-endeavor? ing to subjugato and bring them both under will and control of Congress, thc minority of the House of Repr?sentai ives aro steadily and surely being stripped of all power, and their constituents deprived of all proper represen? tative voice in the councils of tho republic. Wo do, therefore, most solemnly protost against tho indecorous and undignified haste with which the majority of tho House inaugur? ated, presented and rushed through, by a stnet party vote, in plain and palpable viola? tion of ono of the standing rules of tho Bonne, a resolution demanding the impcaclmn nt ot tho Chief Magistrate of tho people for ullcgcd high crimes aud misdemeanors m office, wheu tho gravity of tifo charge and tho character of the high officer against which tho attack was directed, and tho unforseon and tremendous consequonces which might result tb -refroni to the poaco and prosperity of thc pooplc callod for thc calmest and wisest judgment, thu most unprejudiced and impartial deliberation on thc part of those who had the procco?ings in charge. We do also most solemnly protest against this thrice repeated attempt to. degrade and break down ono of thc great co-ordinato branches of tho government, through tho spirit of party hatred and vcugcanco against the pei8on who, by tho constitution, is in the rightful und conscientious discharge of its functions, thus consuming tho precious time which ought to bo faithfully devoted to earnest efforts to relievo tbo pressing vants of tho people, a restoration of a turn and devastated country to union and good order, and lo light? ening tho borden ol a taxation which is press? ing down the energies of trade and conunorco to tho point of universal bankruptcy and ruin. Wo do again most solemnly protest against, and profoundly deprecate anil deplore, any and all attempts to array in hostilo antagonism to each olher any of tho departments of the gov? ernment upon thc mei? question of tho consti? tutionality or construction of a law of Con? gress, the proper jurisdiction and linal adjudi? cation of which belongs exclusively to tho ju? dicial tribunals; and wc hereby waru thc peo? ple ol' the United States that the public lib? erty and the existoi co of free institutions are involved, and that they arc in immiuont dan? ger of utter overthrow in this suicidal struggle. We do further most solemnly protest against that wild and radical spirit ol' innovation upon the earlv and woll settled practice of the gov? ernment-a practico established by the men who framed the coiiBtitutiou, aud who host un? derstood its spirit and meaning-which puts thc Chief Magistrate ot the Republic, the re? presentativo ol' thc dignity anti power of tho people, at thc mercy of one of his own subordi? nates, assuming tb bc Secretary of War in violation of his own pronounced conviction of thc law, who has the unblushing effrontery to place himself in tho unwarrantable position ol communicating directly with Congress, in utter contempt of tho authority et' his superior, and with the deliberate purpose of resisting his au? thority. . ,, " The undersigned, therefore, in thou- charac? ter of representatives of thc peoplo, being de? prived, bv tho despotic power of an inexorable majority,* of the high privilege of debate, that great instrument in the discovery ol' truth, and the most cborished heritage ot a free pooplc. do hereby, sol mnlv and earnestly, protest against theee infractions ol' the rights of the people, and respectfully ask that this, their protest, may be spread upon tho journal ol the House.

The "Washington correspondent of the : more Gazette writes on Monday last: The party lash is being freely used b impeachers to secure a sato passage of measure through the "High Court of Imo< ment," alias tho Radical Senate of the U States. The leading spirits in this as upon the executive department of the go' ment laugh at the suggestions that sen when sworn ag<judges will not be senators so far as their votes in sustaining imp? mont may be concerned. They talk ol impossibility of a leopard changing his s? or an Ethiopian his altin, and say it is cqi unreasonable to expect that a Radical sei will chango his views as to tho moral ob tions of an oath simply because ho votes member of a court instead of a member of Senate. There ia too ranch truth in this claralion, and many conservativo mon are i ing too confidently on tho fact that senators to bo "sworn" to try the issue according to lawand the facts. Have they not boen under constant obligation of an oath to obey, pro and defend the Constitution of tho Un States; and yet, have tlioy over hesitate act outside of and iu direct violation of 1 constitution ii party interests required Nevertheless, it is generally behoved well-informed circles hero that thcro eight leading Republican senators who provo too much the Roman to bo thus used base party purposes. These eight seual aro Fcsacnden, Anthony, Willey, Van Win! Trumbull, Frelingbuytion, Grimes and Poi roy-which, together with tho eleven Dei crate, constitute a sufficient vole to defeat impeachment of tho President. Should th stand ?rm as a barrier against the success progress of the impeachment movement, th may be several others who will prefer m ak a similar record lor the future historian. He: wo have a prevailing impression among conservative men that tho whole project of impcachmont ol the President will end pre much a-did tho prosecutiou against Gone Lorenzo Thomas. The impeachment prose lion will be on a larger theatre only wi Thomas' was on a smaller one, and Thad. S venn, with his associate prosecutors, may dismissed from tho High Court of Iuipeai mont with as little cerompny as (?euc Thoma* was put out of court by Judgo Ca ter. Tho testimony of General Thomas is I mg rolled on by tho Radical managers to si tain tho charges of conspiracy to seize by foi tho War Department; but when this teatime comes to bo published as given before the 1 Doachmont Committee tho honest masses thu pcoplo will surely be disgusted with t wbelo tiling. In tho meantime tho party lot ors bavo been profuse in tho abuso of the ni they found they could not exactly use to si their purposes. But do tho Radical leaders care, or cxpci to i rovo tho President guilty of tho charg contained iu tho articles of impcachmcu This question waa frankly answored by Ger ral N. P. Hanks, one of tho impeachers, w assured your correspondent that, so far as t particular charges were concerted, tho Prci dont could not bo found guilty; adding, at t same time, that tho Senate, "appreciating tl importance of removing Mr. Johnson for ti general good of tho country, would con viet hi to provent his doing any harm, and that in d ing this, sonatora wore not responsible to ai ono for the votes they gave. Such is tho Ra ?cal expectation in Congress. It is anticipati by Stcvous, Bingham and others, that th< have only to offer tho pretext, and tlioir frieni in thc Senate will take caro ot tho rest. ? reliance is placed by them in tho puerile vc bosity put forth in tho shapo of "articles iui| eachtnont." They are merely tho flinn pretext under which it is anticipated tho Senai will seek protection, and tho sontimouts c: pressed by General Banks arc those general, entertained by the Radical revolutionists. Tho result of all this is a difference of opii ion here as to the probabilities or convictin Probidont Johnson-a dl?orence which oxtenc through nil circles ot .sociocv. ^Thny n-hr. h. novo tho Sonate eau bo p??ntituteu to bas purposes, and that senators, sitting as a com of impeachment, can lind Mr. Johnson guilt; in order to deprive him of tho power lo ii hann, take the affirmative of tho propositior but those who yet believe there is virtuo i tho Senate scout tho very ?doa that two-third ol' thc senators can bo basely used (or part schemes and revolutionary purposes. Severe .senators opposed to impeachment do not heel tate to express a very decided conviction tha tho President will pass tho ordeal uuscatchod lt is als J understood, cen among tho Radical iho.uselvcR, that Mr. Johnson's acquitalburio the Radical party too deep for resurrection. DBIYINQ IMPEACHMENT AB A PASTY MEASUB1 -GENERAL EMOB? AND THE MILITARY-MOB] FOBTHCOMINO EVIDENCE, ETC. The Washington correspondent of tho Balti more Sun writes under dato of thc 2d inst. Both branches of Congress have been labor ing to day to effect the preliminaries for tin impeachment trial, and each House has beer driven by tho impeachers in and out of Cou gress, with the view of hurrying tho project ti :i verdi:t at onco, upon the assumption thal tho result will, borona u peradventure, bo thi removal of Mr. Johnson, lhere aro but fen of this class who attempt to .justify such a re? sult upon J.ny other grounds than that thc removal nf Air. Johnson has now become u party measure, and therefore all arguments upon (he merits of, or legal points involved in thu prosecution, aro by thom scouted as profit? less. In fact, tho almost unanimous opinion ia now thal if the President is triod strictly upon the law and (he facts, ho must be acquit? ted, and that if thu Sonate shall render a ver? dict of guilty, that tho verdict will bo purely upon political and partisan Grounds. lt will bo shown upou tho trial that Presi? dent Johnson was informed by respectable per? sons, who believed what they said, that au ordor hid been given on tho 21st ot February ult., th?lt ?ill military ollicc-rs in thia depart? ment report?t onco to tho headquarters ol General Emory, lo re?oive directions for cer? tain military movements, and that upon this infoimatiou thu lTusidont sunt for General Emory and interrogated him, as related tn tho litter's evidence before thu House committee, .md it ia probable that General Emory may recollect, when bia attention is drawn closely to what look placo at tho interview between tho President and himself, that instead of Ur. Johnson asserting that military orders, No. 15 or 17, was unconstitutional, he merely asked General Emory if hu (Emory) did not think thu order waa in conflict .vith the constitution. A suggestion has beon matlu by members of tho Uousu that tho iiupoachmout Irial iako pla-e in tho hall ol' thu aouso, so as to afford accommodation for a greater number of per? sons than can bo scated in thc Senate. " THE PiiOBABLE RESULT OF IMPEACHMENT. The Washington correspondent of thc New i'ork Tribune regard* Ibo conviction and re? moval of tho President a? a flxud fact. Hu . sa\s: Ii' Mr. Johnson has any friends or supporters left in this ciiv, they maui iain a singular reti? cence on thu subject of impeachment,. for scarcely a word is heard anywhere in his fa? vor. Even thc rumor* that certain tcuators ? uro shaky ou thu subject anil would certainly vote against tho conviction of thu President have all died out, and thu opinion is almost unanimous that thu Semite will eject Andrew J di.ison from tho White House, and that he dcscives to bu oo treated. Tho trial, on ac? count of its novu'.ty, and in thc expectation that it may develop something unlooked for, is awaited with deep interest; but nobody has the slightest apprehension that it wiil give risc to any inconvenience or trouble to any one except the great offender. Tho gamb? lers abandoned tho President two or three days ago, and, to borrow their huiuuagc, ho " s Hs very low. " In? ti,-cd a rumor was afloat in the city on Satur? day that President Jolmsou and Secretary Stanton would botli resign, aud thus soho tho dilliuuity; but of course this absurdity could be traced to no trustworthy source. The Secreta? ry still maintains his almost sleepless vigi? lance ov:r thc War Department, working thcro bv dav and sleeping there by night, so that General Thomas may not seize the cita Iel in an unguarded hour. ' on. Thomas wanders to Ins otflcc two or three limes a day, and savs that tl is nil a kind of dream tohim. Meanwhi'lo Congress is nuking preparations for the trial, arranging all tho technical and preliminary forma for tho legal contest. According to some reports, thu President looks forward to Iiis dethronement with equanimity, and, ac? cording to others, he is considerably annoyed and chagrined ot tho prospect ol' so speedy a termination of his rule in thc White House' THE OTHES SIDE. The correspondent of tho New York Herald, on tho other hand, is equally certain of thc President's acquittal. He speculates as to? lo ws : Notwithstanding the party unanimity with which impeachment was passed througl House, the committee aro greatly embarri by the subsequent exhibitions of doubting distrust. Nearly ell the Radical members wore originally opposed to impeachmen still honestly of the name mind. They dc sympathize with or participate in the s plans for consummating the end in view they have thc sagacity to foresco ultimate ure and inevitablo disaster as the consequt Under thoso circumstances the work is not ? sued by thoso who have it iu hand wit! I cheerfulness and confidence indicated bi boastlul and malignant spirit manifested. L ing to tho Sonato, the prevalence of a sin feeling is conspicuous. Thero are a few wh< anxious for impeachment, and fairly venon with hate. Tiiey have not failed to con thomsolves on nil occasions in favor of peachment. and to disqualify themselves their prejudiced utterances to sit in judgn OD a case which they arc to take a solemn < to try impartially. They were warned by ! ator Fessenden reportedly against commit themselves upon a subject which might ov ually como before them; but thoy always torted angrily, and sneeringly accused hin a lingorinr; partiality for tho President, on covert sympathy with Conservatism. Seui Fessenden is not the only one who has b consistent, and who will help to swell thc ni ber that is to offset the Sumners, Howards ; Conklings. Senator Sherman has so ope and positively committed himself to Mr. Jo son's interpretation of tho Tenuro of Office that he could not, without stultifying hims vote to impeach him tor adopting his own c struction of it. Senator Howe, though tonsely Radical, is an able lawyer, and th ougbly independent of partv consideratic when placed in a position of responsibility tho magnitude of tho ono in question. Besides Fus?ond?ii, Sherman and Hoi there is good reason to bolievo that other 1 publican senators ?rill not consent to hi themselves lashed into the impeachment fo by Ibo hot-headed revolutionists of theirp ty. The dispatch which I scut you a lew di ago, to thc effect that eight ot tho Republic senators would be almost suro to oppose t mensuro, his attracted much, attention bc: and thoro arc nob wanting well posted peo] who say I wis not rightly informodwhor made that statement so boldly. N''vcrthelC! I soo no reason for changing my viows OD t subject, and I will endeavor toi;ivo my roaso briefly further on. But first lot mo start wi ttio admitted fact that thc following senate will certainly vote against, impeachment : CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS.-Dixon, of Co uccticut; Doolittle, of Wisconsin. DEMOCRATS.-Bayard, of Delaware; Buch low, of Pennsylvania; Davis, ot Kontuck McCreory, of Kentucky; Houdricke, of I diana; Johnson, of Maryland; Patterson, Tonnessco; Saulsbury, of Delaware Thus, ns a basis to start with, wc have eig Democratic and two conservativo Republic senators certain to Oppose impeachment. Th makes ton auti-impcachmont votes. Ko .imotig tho Radical Republican conators I co tend tho hollowing arc almost aa mire to oppo tho measure as tho Democratic, to wit: Ai thony, of Rhode Island; Fessenden, of Main Howe, of Wisconsin; Norton, of Minncsot Ross, ol' Kansas; Sherman, of Ohio; Spragu of Rhodo Island; Tipton, of Nebraska; Trun bull, cf Illinois; Van Winkle, of West Ykgini Willey, ol' West Virginia; Williams, of Orcgoi Hero wo bavo fourtoeu Republican and cigl opposition Senators already supposed to I against impeachment, with* two othors dotib fut-namely, Grimes, of Iowa, and Ilendcrsoi of Missouri. Leaving out thc two last, w have say twenty-two senators who will ur back up Thad. Stevens in his hos tilo ultomr upon thc Executive. According to the thir section of art icio one ot thc constitution, n conviction can occur without a concurrence c two-thirds of Ibo members present. At present Ibero aro lifty-tlirco ni omi'era i thu iSonatc, of which say thirty-six would b required for two-thirds. Tnko the eight Deine erais, tno two Consorvatives, ami tho twek Radicals (twouty-two lu KU), fr um flfty-thret ttnrrwo nrrvrj h-fo only tniriy-onc senators .i favor of impeachment. This would fall aboi live of thc required number. Now, to return to my reasons, and I ore with staling that llio volo in the Senato to rc ?nsta.0 Stanton and condemning hid removu hy the President, is no test of how Senator are going to vote upon tho impeachment mat ter ul all. Thoro aro many senators who be liova tliat the President was wrong in attempt iug Stanton's removal pending IL sutsion of tin .-lunate, but who still think that that is not ai offonco of sufficient gravity to justify impoach ment. The President is known to have contondo; all along that Stanton hold office only by suffer? ance, as ho had never been appointed*by bin (Johnson); and moreover bocauso Lincoln'f commission, bearing dato in 1802, long before tho tenure of Office bill was passed, limited Stanton's tenure to ..tho pleasuro ol'tho Presi? dent for thc timo hoing.' Amone; tho Senators who take this view, oi who opposo impeachment fur other reasons, Mich ns that no confidential adviser obuoxioue 10 a President should be forcod upon him, I have reason to behove may b-j reckoned An? thony, l?oss, Fcsscudon, Sherman, Howe, Wit loy, Norton, Tipton, Williams, Spraguo and Trumbull. Authouy kaus to conservatism, and in bis paper has repeatedly of Inbj raised a warning cry against tho revolutionary tendency of Rad ical legislation. ? ipton ha i been beard lo declare that he will not voto for impeachment. "Williams, some say, besidos his belief as a lawyer that uo impeachable offence has been committed, desires to work back into tho Dem? ocratic foul, as the signs point to a revolution i i political sonliment in the State from which ho hails. Spraguo will certainly voto in (he intorest of Iiis father-in-law, thc "Chief Justice, who is said to oppose impeachment bocauso it would result iu Wade's elevation, and diminish his own chances for the succession. Aa to Norton, Ruf>s, Van Winkle and Wiley, I confess I havo no bel lor renson tu give for "tho opinion thai, thoy will oppose impoachuicut ex? cept, this-Mint there is a very widespread im? pression, of the kind. There m something in tho atmosphere at times that I ells uno how things will tum ont. Perhaps it is this mys? terious influence that pills Norton, Ross, Wiley ?ind Van '..inkle anion ; the anti-lmpoaehora. For thoso aud other reasons, therefore, I take it there is no ground upon which to base an opinion thal impeachment will bo sustain? ed. Referring to it as a party rmcstioi! Ibero is no light in Which it can bc viewed that cm make it available tu thu Radicals in this sense. 11 senator* were disposed to give weight to their partisan animosities there is nothing to bc gained by impeachment. Thc subject has been canvassed by the R idicals in all its hear? ings, and a very considi ruble portion ol' thom havo arrived at this conclusion. MB. JOHNSON ADVISED TO RESIGN. The Washington Republican says : Sumo of tho President's most prominent friends have called upon him, and advised him to send his resisnation to the Senate to-mor? row, and carry bis appen! to tho people, on thc ground that lie could not gel a fair trial in che Sena-'c ; in which event Hie Democrats would certainly nominate him, and his chancos would bu excellent for ro-clcctiou : but that if ho Should sit Still much longer lie would bc con? victed and rendered incapable of ever holding ufiice again. The President was considerably i.ikeu aback, and finally said he would consider it, and turned tho conversation. MR. JOHNSON WILL BE PRESENT. It is not imperative that the President :-li(iuld bj present during hts trial but he baa already expressed a determination to be pres? ent. TUE LMPE.YCHMENT. A prominent Western senator has slated that ample time will bo allowed thc President to prepare for the impeachment trial after he shall have been notified that such is lo be. Blanks aro being printed for the issuing of heats iu thc Senate tu spectators, and lucre luis already Leen a large demand fur them. \s tue blanks are not yot ready, and as it is probable that tho trial will not commence for at least, two weeks, these applications are rather premature. This i'ael. however, dues not deter parties from applying, and the President of the Senato, Secretan' of the Senate, scrgeunt-at arms, doorkeepers, and clerks, have been be? sieged ">'ith importunities fro in a ciass of per? sons who arc never satisfied wiih a denial. M ?or McDonald, the popul ir and gentlemanly chief dork oi tho Sein te, is having every; arrangement made for tho accommodation ut thc senators, members ol'the House of Repre? sentatives, and all others who may bc m thc lowor chamber. These arraugementB ?nil be perfected after thc President lias Signified tho dav upon which ho will be ready. A large number of strangers have already arrived ju thc eitv, anti it is .jonfidcntly presumed that nt least, two or tiiree thousand persons will be aad-'d ti our floating population ere the trial commences.
