C., MONDAY, MARCH 9, 1868. N°. 4,680. THE EVENING STAR Washington News and Gossip. ANOTHER ARTICLE OF IMPEACHMENT.—It is stated that one other article of impeachment ‘will be proposed in the House to-day, through Gen. Butler, based upon a charge made by one Belknap, formerly a purser at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, who alleges that the President nas neglected to restore him to his official position, from which he was. suspended some two or three years ago. Belknap’s statement is that the government funds at the Brooklyn Navy Yard were stolen; that he caused to Hoerate d; that Belknap was charged with de- falcation in $100, ‘the sum stolen: that Le demanded of the Secretary of the Navy a trial by court-martial; that, according to law, if no trial be ordered’ in twelve months afier de- ended officer to his former official position; hat no trial was ordered; that has asked to be restored, but the President and the with the |. Upon this t Z nap urges another article of impea@ement, and t is that Gen. Butler will propose it is proposed such aruele in the House to-day. GexERAL Hancocx.—Gen, Grant has fur- nished the President with copies of the corres- pondence between the General-in-Chief and Gen. Hancock relative to the removal of civil officers in New Orleans, and in which General Hancock asks to be relieved from the command of the Fitth Distri Gen. Hancock also tele- graphs to the President the hope that no repre- sentations of parties in New Orleans will pre- vent the Executive from relieving him, as his usefulness as commander of the finn District has been impaired and his action paralyzed. No action has been taken in the matter by the President, but it is not improbable that the re- mest to be relieved will b granted, and Gen. janeock be placed in command of the Depart- ment of the Atlantic, SERVING THE SumxoNS.—At seven o'clock Saturday evening, the Sergeant-nt-Arms of the Senate called at the White House to serve upon the President the writ of summons on the im- hment. The proceedings were very brief. on the announcement of the usher that the ofticer of the Senate had arrived to see Mr. Johnson, the latter directed Mr. Brown, the Sergeant-at-Arms, to be admitied. After the usual civil salutations Mr. Brown said, «Mr. President, I have here a package which I ain or- dered by the Senate of the United States to deliv- er to you.” at the same time handing a sealed en- velope or package containing the writ, ete. Mr. Jobnson replied—<Very well, sir: it shall have my attentien.” Mr. Brown—“Good evening, Mr. President.” Mr. Johnson—“Good even- Mr. Brown.” And here Mr. Brown with. drew. Shortly afterward the President opencd the package, and fond therein the writ, in- cluding a copy of the articles of impeachment, ete. Hovse Impracuuent Committee Exan- INING REPoRTERS,—On Saturday last the man. sgers of the House Impeachment Commi:tee were engaged in taking the evidence of news- paper reporters concerning the character of speeches and addresses delivered by President Johnson during bis Pre-idential term. Some of them were questioned as to whether Mr. Johnson was inebriated or not at any time while on his tours in the North, West and Seuth. One among the number examined was L.A. Gobright, Esq, agent for the Associated Press ia this city. Several others remain yet to be examined by the committee. ONAL.—Dr Cornelius Boyle, formerly. 5 city, 18 ROW in town, looking Very little the worse, physically, for the wear and war ofthe Confederate service. He has rec-ntly purchased the valuable Warrenton Sprinzs property. “Mark Twain’ —Clemens—har left Washington for Cahfornia to make arrauge- ments for the publication of bis work, “Alfred Spates, Esq., president and sup: intendent of the Chesapeake and Ohio Cana!, is at the Seaton House, and says that the canal will be opened abent the 20th of this month, TheStreammr MononGanELa.—Acting Mas- ter William Budd, of the United States steamer Purveyor, reports to the Navy Department the arrival of that vessel at St. Croix, W. L,, on the ist of January, afters passage of fourteen days from New York. The work of getting the steamer Monongahela—which was landed high and dry on that island during the late earth. quake—bad commenced, and it was expected that she would be launched by the 15th or 20th gf February, and immediately start for the United States, Mr. Davidson, the nuval con- structor who has charge of the work, reports that the ship'is in good order, and rests upon a bed of hard sand stone. Her stores and furni- ture are in good condition, Tue PResipest’s Line ov DerEsce.—It is believed that the following are the main points in the line of defence now contemplated in be- half of the President, thongh, of course, it will be subject to future modifications, as circum: stances may seem to dictate, or as counsel may suggest First. Om appearing by counsel on Friday next, motion is to be made to have tne hearing postponed unt) the first Monday in May. Fail- 1 2 this, they will Second. Make a motion {3 GU8§K thy articles of impeachment, on the ground that, if tr they do not constitute a high crime or misd meanor. Third. Exceptions will be taken to certaiy Senators, on the ground that they haye pre- judged the case, and that the Senate hax already declared the President guilty of the main charges, by the passage of the resolution con- demning the removal of Secretary Stanton. Fourth, Exceptions will be taken to the ju- Tisdiction of the Court, on the ground that it is not the Senate of the United States. Fitth, That the tenure-of-oftice bill cannot apply to the case of Mr. Stanton, not only on account of the proviso in the first section, but also on the ground that having been passed after Mr. Stanton’s appomtment, it cannet be applied to his tenure-of-office, without having retroactive effect, and becoming thereby an +z post facto law, Sixth. That Mr. Stunton was functus uficio after the 4th day of Mareh, 1837, the expiration of Mr. Lincoin’s first term, and that he bas not since that date been Secretary of War d- sure, athougs exercising the functions of that office, DisTRIBUTION OF SExDSs.—The supply of seed for the Department of Agriculture, which were purchased and contracted for within the past year, have all been exhausted, and no more Will be distributed until the Department is thoroughly nized. It is the desire of the present Commissioner to discontinue the wholesale distribution of seeds, and to confine himself to the distribution of rare and valnable seeds, which will be given out to responsible persous iu small quantities only, for the pur- pore of having them introduced in the country. A‘few persons who huve been employed in ‘ing seeds will be further nerd of their services. Revveme Tue Exrensxs Or raw Navy.— In the House to-day Mr. Peters introduced a vill to reduce the ex of the navy: which ttee a Af. navy shall be retired upon reaching the age of ‘sixty years; that promotions shall hereafter take place in or into any new grade which has been created since Jt 1, PATENTS TO BE leauKD.—For the week end- ing on 17, there will be iseved pipet eagengel ln SR, CABINET BEWING « Tue Sitv ation -RUMORS AS TO THE PxEs- IEntT’s InTENTions.—The mist which bas pervaded political circles since Friday last, has commenced to rise slowly, and th> exact condition which affairs are about to assume is partially discernable. The President’s most intimate friends, and those to whom he looks for counsel and advice, have not known pre- cisely what course he intended to pursue, Oa Friday last those of his counsel who were here were closeted with him & great portion of the day. That mght Mr. David Dudley Field, who has been engaged by Mr. Johnson, left here quietly for New York, and during all day Saturday was closeted there with leading Dem- ocratic politicians. He retarned to Washington early yesterday morning, and was closeted with the President during the day. This fact alone, in the present con‘lition of affairs, is re- garded as significant. , ‘This morning it is stated by leading Demo- crats that the President has fally decided upon his plans, and that there will be no hesitancy in carrying them ont. First. On next Friday his counsel will appear in Court ready to pro- ceed with the trial, and will not ask for an ex- tension of time. They will then object to every Republican Senator, who bas expressed an opinion as to Mr. Johnsou’s guilt or inno- cence on the articles of impeachment, being al- lowed to act as jurors in the case. This point they, of course, do not expect to carry, bat have it overruled. Second. The question as to whether Senators from twenty-seven States constitute the Senate of the United States will be raised. They will take the same view of this matter that the President has in all his public speeches and State papers maintained, that until ten southern States have their represens- atives in the House and Senate of the United States, that the latter body is not competent to take up, try, and pass judgment on so vital ana important a question as impeaching the highest officer known to the Government. Fail- ing on both these questions, the President will then firmly refuse to proceed with his trial, asserting that in such a court justice cannot be done him, and then will rise and tender his resignation, and appeal directly to the people to sustain him, and to pass jndgment at the bal- lot-box against tne Senate of the United States This, in short, is what the Democrats who are intimate with the President assert to-day 1s the course he will pursne. The story meets with some credence among Republicans, and it is regarded by them us a shrewd attempt on the part of the President's friends to make him the Democratic candidate. A great many rumors are afloat to-day, to the effect that the President intends to resort to bold means durmg the next tew days to obtain possession of the War Office, but they sare regarded as rumors. Tne New Senator rrom MARYLAND.—Con- siderable interest was felt by spectators m the Senate galleriesto-day in regard to the proceed- ings upon the presentation of the credentials of General Vickers, the newly elected Senator from Maryland, it having been given out that his confirmation would be opposed or referred to the Judiciary Committee, and that the charge of disloyalty would be made against hun- He was, however, sworn in, after some opposition by Mr. Sumner on the grouad that Maryland bas not a Republican form of government. Almost immediately upon taking his seat he was called upon to pay the first penaity for Senatorial position, in the way of placing is autograph in a dozen albums, thrust in his face by as many active pages. He is an affable looking, medium-sized, gray- headed, gold-spectacled gentleman, and in ap- pearance, will detract nothing {rom the dignity of the Senate. FUNDING THE INTEREST-BEARING DentT.— Mr. Wilson introduced in the Senate, to-day, a bill (which was ordered to be printed) provid- ing for the conyersion and funding of the inter- est-bearing debt, and to amend the banking laws of the United States. ‘The first section authorizas the Secretary of the Treasury to issue coupons or registered bonds sufficient to redeem the entire interest- bearing debt, except the 5 per cent, forty-year is. Section two provides that said bonds shall be payable in fifty years, and shall bear six per cent. for aeery. years, and five per cent. ther twenty years, {nterest payable semi-annually. Section thitd provides that said bonds shail be used solely for redemption aud exchange of existing bonds, and said exchange may be made until January’ 1, under regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Section fourth lays @ tax’ of one per cent. per annum on said bonds, and directs the Secretary of the Treasury to withhold the same from payment of interest as it accrues, Section fifth directs the Secretary of the Treasury to ascertain as nearly as possible the amount of tax paid by each State through its ciuzens and corperations, and to pay annually toeach State the amount of tax received from its citizens and corporations; said taxes to be am lieu of State, municipal, and local taxation on said bonds. Section sixth provides for the gradual re- demption and final extinction of said debt as follows: First, by applyirg aanually to pay- ment ef principal all taxes paid on bonds held or owned ont of the United States: second, by directing the Secretary of the Treasury for the first decade hereatier to redeem annually by purchase im coin ten millions of said debt: for 5 oe the tase oe twenty millions an>, 3 Jot the avgade, forty nyaigons Ann for the fourth decade, sixty mittions aun ¥; for the filth decade, eighty millions annu- til the whole debt is redeemed. ‘ction seventh authorizes the in Houal currency to five hundred millions dol- jars, and directs preference of issue thereof to sections of country not adequately supplied with banking facilities. Section eight directs tho Seeretary of the Treasury, w the whole currency exceeds $70,000,000, t0 retire and cancel as Fapidly as possible until outstanding United States notes are reduced to $20,000,000, Section niue directs each brnking association to hold its coin interest received on bonds as a special reserve until able to redeem its cur- Tency, wd not to use suid coin reserve for any other purpore. THE “CONSTITUTIONAL ALLIANCE.”—F. J. Tucker, the party who was arrested in New York for undertaking to raise troops to sup- port the President in opposition to Congress, is in town for the purpose of furthering the in- terests of a national politico-military organiza- tion to be called the “Constitutional Alliance,” and which is intended to be an offset to the “Grand Army of the Republic.” He asserts that twenty-eight sub-organizations of the “Alliance” have already been perfected in as many States, and that its ramifications will speedily extend to every State and Territory in the Union. CounseL POR THE PRESIDENT.—Hon. Wm. ‘S. Groesbeck, who has been here in consulta- tion with Mr, Johnson as a legal adviser in the matter of impeachment, leaves to-day for bis home m Cincinnati. All the counsel of the President have not yet been selecte’, but Judge R.R. Curtis, of Massachusetts, and David Dudley Fild, of New York, have been regu- Intly retained. : Tue UsvaL WEEKLY CANARD of the resig- nation of Secretary McOulloch was put afloat in New York to-day. 1t had no more founda- tion than the kindred canard for months past.

Mr. S. then said that fourteen counties of the State, with a population of but 11=,000 had a majority of the Senate of the State. Here wasa system of rotten boroughs. He pronounced this Anti- Republican. He ii now at this moment of our history, that it belonged to the Spatetocome forward and disclose its great pdsition. Mr. Conness said that under the principle enunciated by the State of Massachusetts the whole Government wouid be carried on by five New England States and the State of Wiscon- sin.

By that Cons‘itution all those engagea or in sympathy with the rebellion were dis- franchised. By that arrangement the loyal element in Maryland were enabled to keep pessession of the State. Subsequently, under an arrangement with that Governor, registers were appointed, by whose manipulation rebels, even those who had been generals in the rebel army, were given the franchise before they had been pardoned, and it was by this fraudulent transaction that the State had been wrested from the control of the loyal people, Mr. Nye read from the letter of Judge Nye, Mr. Conness tem- x the Constitation of Carmichael in support of his “state- ments. If the st tements am that letter were true, the present constitution of Maryland Tests on no other basis than a cerrupt political combination, and the Senate can see the reason why the disloyal portion of the State is given control. He submitted if this be tne, as ex- pored by one of their own number, that the Whole thing is based on fraud as regards the right of the citizens of Maryland, and of the whole United States. This Gov. Swann, in violation of the existing constitution, author- ized and directed his registers to thwart the wishes of the loyal people of Maryland, and he (Mr. N.) would for one not be a party to the wrot Mr. Johnson would merely say now that if the cifizens of the State of Maryland needed any defence her representative on this fioor would be competent to do it.
