Ne ays 19! The Vote Admitted to be a Virtual Ac- quittal ! Much uncertainty prevailed last might and early this morning whether the yote would be taken on impeachment to-day, and conse- quently there was not much excitement ex- hibited; but about ten o'clock it began to be whispered about that decisive action would certainly be had, and that a result of comvic- tion on the second and eleventh articles had been figured ont. Other rumors to the effect that each invalid Senator was to be conveyed to the Capitol on a stretcher to give his vote, served toadd piquan- cy to the current interest on the occasion, and iudeed nothing more was needed than the re- port of a yote to be taken to send everybody Capitol- ward. At baif pact eleven, the hour for the meeting of the Senaie only about twenty Senators were im thear sents, and it certainly did not look as if the important business of rendering the great verdict was on hand No one of the invalu ators—Howard, g, Grin u Were present.

A sharp look-o' s kept for the appearance of some Senator on a stretcher. Gleaces were directed momentarily towards Senators Ro-s and Willey, trom (be behef that the great stram was with them.

Rumor said thst he bad failed to attend the consrenee of the impercbers this morni: Every movement of the doubtful Senators was followed with anxious eyes: now Mr. Ross was talking with Mr. Reverdy John- son, impeachment stock went down; now he is seen in confab with an impescher, impeach- ment <tock zees up.

Anthony Trollope, the Epghsh novelist, and General Sickles come in and took seats on the Senate ftoor. At five minutes pest 2 Mr. Howard came in, closely wrepped up in a shawl.

The vote in detail. At 12:20, amid breathless silence, the 1th article was read and the yote taken, the Chiet Justice asking the question of each Senator, “guilty” or “ mot guilty.” Some amusement was created by the prompt reply of Mr. Cameron, voting “guilty” before the question was fairly eut of the mouth of the Chief Justice. The yote resulted 35 to 19, Messrs. Fowler, Trumbull, Grimes, (who had come in.) Van Winkle, Fessenden, and Ross voted not guilty. There was a great sonsation when the votes of Messrs.

There | Was instantly a great rush for the different ex- | its from the Capitol by those anxious to get out with the news, and the pressure was great. the | wreck of crinoline immense, and the feminine expressions of indignation sharp and explo- sive. A curious scene was presented in the main passage from the Senate Hall to the rotunda, where impeachers and anti-impeachers were Jammed together, the former swearing mad, and the latter in the taunting mood calculated to bring onan explosion. They were pinned together, however, in such a jam that no bel- ligerent could raise an arm to strike out even if so disposed. Mr. Stevens was carried out in his arm-chair, his features showing no change. Mr. Stanbery, of the President's counsel. followed, almost within arm’s length, wearing & look of con- siderable elation. Some of the spectators paused to witness the debate in the Senate on adjourning over for the Chicago Convention, bat most present left the Capitol when the Court adjourned. Senator Howard was taken to the Capitol this morning in a carriage, propped up by pil- lows, and from the carriage to the Senate cham- ber on astreteber borne by four men.

This morning every body was on the qui vire awaiting the action of the Senate on Im- Peachment. Ina few hours after the vote was taken the news spread through the streets, and it was received by some with great exultation, and by others wita corresponding indignation. No. 2 Fire Company, before one o’clock, was firing asalnte in honor of the yote. Crowds were gathered about the ho els, and now and then some excited individual would propose cheers for the resalt or some of those who voted pot guilty, while others excitediy cbarged that Sepators bad been bought, which provoked angry words but no blows passed as far as we have heard. Generally, however, the citizens kept in good humor, and frequently, when a crow would come from a Conservative, the answer would come back froma Radical that action on the remaming articles would be postponed, or that they would commence de novo next time. A laige crowd gathered about the STAR office during the afternoon, and the demand for our various extras was £0 great that it was almost impossible, even with our fast presses, to sup- ply it. There was much excitement among the em- ployes in the various Departments of the Goy- ernment relative to the vote, and after the news from the Capitol had been received there was much rejoicing among the friends of the Pres= AT THE Wuits Hovse.—There was « large crowd of visitors at the Executive Mansion this morning, nearly all of whom wereadmitted to see the President.

Ay Error.—The first report that came ont in regard to the vote on the 11th article placed Mr. Willey, of West Virginia, among those yoting “ not guilty.” 1t was soon ascertained, however, that he voted “guilty.” and the mis- take scems to have originated trom the fact that he voted “no” on the metion to take up the eleventh article first.

To this last communication Senator Hender- son this merning retarned the foilowing answer: Wasnincton City, May 16, 1968. GENTLEMEN: I will not protract an unpleas- ant correspondence. But you must permit me. in the same spirit of kindness manifest in your letter of yesterday, which, for the first tune, I see im the papers of this morning, to say that your first interview with me at my rooms, on Tuesday morning, to me the most torturing miterview ever held with friends, was not of my seeking, I bad no notice of it, and as I stated to you at the time, was great- ly grieved that you should have felt con- strained by duty, as you assured me, to seek the interview and present for my consideration your views on this question of impeachment. What occurred at this interview I need not repeat. It is true that [offered to resign rather than do what yourequested. 1t seemed to me, under the deep humiliation (excuse the word} of the moment, that I could do nothing else. I did ask you to revise your opinions and to act with deliberation, and remarked, if L could not comply without doing violence to my con- science, I would ren. Bat, gentlemen, in all fairnest, do you not do me great injustice when yu syd made the statement placed in quotation marks, as follows, to wit: «That you (1) would co anything we (you) desired, except violate your (my) conscience in yoting for the convice tion of the Presiden: on the first eight articles of impeachment.” [ knew you did not iutend i", but your requests, both verbal and writen, presented to me the sharp alternatives of per. Jury or resignation. My first impression was could save my honor by resigning, and I at chee embraced it. 1 know you would not be understood as canvassing the impression that, though unwilling. to perture myself on eight articles, I might possibly consent to do so on the remaining three. And if I remained in my seat it could not be expecied that I could even withhold my vote cn any article mpiess satis. fied that the law and the evidence justified my urely {could gain nothing by keep- ence on eight articles and vbolating Lt is treé that the sec. my imstance, but only to it I regarded xs a most Tequest, unreasonableness 1 mentioned 3: st. That wiih. e would leave the result in ny state of the case the same, as it required two- thirds to couvict; and, 2d. That 1 had been assured by several gentlemen professing to the President would be convicted on‘ the eleventh article by two, three, or four votes more than the necessary two-thirds ma- jority, though I might vote adversely. You stated that if such were the fact, all you wanted Was @ conviction, snd you cared not how I might feel constrained to vote, provided the end, which you thought essential to the “onrea-ouable” you its several facts, safety of the coutry, could be obtained. But you insisted that if } were not ain of this Tesult you desired my resignation, in order that my pluce could be supplied with one who could conscientiously carry out the wishes of ‘our people. And now it was at this point that I promised to ascertain whether 1 must resign or not. I id not want time to consider whether I could change my vote or sit silent, or commit per- jury, but simply whether there would be con- viction regardiess of my vote. These things were done on the spurof the moment, and al- most without counsel on my part, and to me under a sense of humiliation which I cannot describe, Sosoon asI had time to reflect on the subject, I determ ned to remain in my seat anddo my duty. Lf my constituents, honest, intelligent, brave and upright, shall in a bot condemn me, I will give up my seat when it can be done with self-respect. Yours truly, J.B. HeNpEnson. To Messrs. Wm. A.

She avers that, be- fore Mr. Hill's attention became marked, she supposed that she could never regard any man with tenderness, and continued in weeds of mourning, lavirhing all the affection upon her son. The defendant's income for 1c6, however, was $120,400, and soon her heart began to warm towards him. Theen- grgement was contracted and, as she expresses it, earth became as new to her: its sounds were music; its sights were things of beauty; ber fortune was spanned with the bow of hope. ‘She commence the preparation of her trous- sean and received .the congratulations of her friends; when there came an unexpected peal of the door-bell, and her betrothed entered with what she describes as a clouded brow. “Delia,” suid be, “I have come to tell you that I am not going to marry you.” “Why,” said she, «what misconduct have I been guilty of!” His rep! was, “Circumstances prevent me.” Althoug! he offered to pay for ber trousseau, she will not be comforted, but demands a douceur “com. mensurate with the injury done and the defend- ‘ant’s station.

Her conduct was very exemplary, and she had succeeded, by ber amiable and williag disposition, exhibited atall times, to render herseif beloved by the entire house-hold.

He (Mr. W.) did pot want to go to Coi- ge and be did not Know that many Senators Mr. Williams was always for econominng tithe, but every member of the Senate was very much exhausted, and hethonght a weeks re- cess would enable them to come back and be more refreshed, and able to do more basiness between now and the first of July, thanif they Temained. . ¥. Tipton was utterly Gpposed to any ad- journment, particalarty in view of the recent irequent adjourrments, Hendricks, on the part of himselfand friende, thought he could say that there would be no desire to take a recess when the Democratic Convention met ia Joly, as they thought that Convention would be abundantly aple to tnke care of itself without outside pres- sure members of Co! ‘Mr, Wilson again alluded to the necessity of remaining here to attend to legislation. Mr. Hendricks did not think it proper to be sending bills to the President while the articles of impeachment were hanging over bis head. He (Mr. H.) bad as much desire as any one to see the Southern States restored in some shape or other tothe Union, but there has been no such demand in the last three years to restore these States to their place as to justity this de- mand now. Mr. Nye bad enough experience in this body know that it was useless to oppose an adjourn- ment for a week, & day, or an hour. He thought the President would be able to take care of hirn- self with his new recruits. He thought a little emberrassment tothe President would not be profitable, Let Arkunsas come in to-day; let us bave a birth with adeath. Let us passa con- current resolution admitting the State of Arkan- fas, and relieve him of embarrassment hy not sending it to him at all, and to have it sent baca bere at the end of ten days with another defiant veto. We have had enough of thera. Let us admit Arkansas before the sun is down. and let the President have another sweet mor- sel to roll under his tongue.

It may be that the President will obtain @ nomial acquittal by one vote, but be will go forth with a blasted repu- tation. A majority cf the Senste believe him suilty, two-thirds of the House of Representa- five guilty, and two-thirds of the American people believe him guilty, and he (Mr. 8.) must enter bis solemn protest against the action Mr. Morton said aiter transacting business with the President for three months, it was rather late in the day to talk about what was contrary to authori And as to adjourning to tnke up the c»rpets to sbake the fleas out of them, laughter.) if they did not stay here and attend to their Lusipess they would get a flea im their ears, (Laughter. Mr. Yates wanted to stay here and send this bill to the President, and let him veto it again if he choose of an outraged and indignant people for the verdict which had teen rendered here to-day ... Mr. Henderson replied to the remarks of th ‘Senators from Illinois (Mr. Yates) and from Marsachuseits (Mr. Sumner) as to the verdic which had been rendered to-day. No man abhorred Andrew Johnson or bis conduct more than he (Mr. Henderson) did, but in the vote | which he had given to-day be bad been guided by bis conscience. The question upon which he had decided was a judicial not % political question. His constituents had been ber generous to bim, and on political subjects he could learn from them. but nothing on this subject. If his constituents were not satisfied with bis course, be would resign the pisce to which they had entrusted bim. Sooner than violate bis conscience he would gladly lay down the place, mach as he liked it, Not all the Senators in this chamber, or ali the men in the world, could swerve him from what he considered right. He loved bis party, and be expected to act with it in the ‘fature as he bad in the past. News- papers might cali him an a te, but that would have no effect on him. The moment the party laid down the law that its member: must commit perjiry to serve ite ends, t moment it would cyftimble into the dust. If be did not change his mind, he should vote for the aequittal of the President on all the arti- cles. He had always thought that they never should have been brought here. He wall wil- ling to go as far as any one im carrying out tbeir legislation im regard to the Southern Sates, but he desired to see the Presider t vio- late the laws first.
