May 20.—Chicago is at this time e scene of almost unparalleled excitement, During the past twenty-four hours six bun- dred delegates have been holding primary caucuseson the Vice Presidency and the piat- form. Qn the former the contest waxed hot and bitter. The pressure for Wade is still tre- mendous; but Colfax and Fenton last night steadily gained ground, till there is s fair pros- pect, this morning, for both, though itis thought that Wade will have the most votes om the first ballot. Colfax has suddenly gained strength in the Eastern States. New Eugland hat been endeavoring to unite on some man, but after fifteen Zonr's congultation fated. Hamlin and Wilson refuse to coalesce. Better counsels now prevail, and no resolution will be adopted reading recreant Senators ont of the party.

Last night those who opposed the reading of said Senators out of the party seemed to be in the ascendant. The probabilities are that the supject of im- Peachment cannot be excluded trom discus- sion, The impeachment movement continues to give Wade considerable additional strength for Vice President. % The present indications are that he will poll oné humdred to one hundred and twenty votes on the first ballot, but his opponents say that he cannot increase that vote, except for the fact that Wade's nomination is urged as a rebuke to Trumball. Fessenden, &c. Speaker Colfax is evidently the strongest at the start, as it is, his vote nearly equals Wade's at the beginning. His friends are confident, fearing only that be will be weakened by ana argument against the nommation of any West- erm max for Vice President, which is being urged by Wade's opponents. Fenton's friends outside of the Convention are numerous and active, but don’t seem us confident to-day as yesterday. Their best es- tumate gives Governor Fenton about ninety votes, which they bsve hoped to increase ma terially in the Southern delegations. Senator Wilson's friends are numerous, but have no body to back them, ‘hough there isa gen- eral feeling that if New England would unite on him be would be nominated. Hamlin is also growin, favor for the Vice Presidency, and if Wade's and Fenton's friends should become discouraged. many of their sup- Porters say that Hamlin is the next choice. Among the invited guests on the platform General Grant's father is conspicuous. The latest opinion seems to be that if Wade is not nominated his friends will decide the cou- test in favor either of Coltax or Hamlin. Few if any of Wade's friends are going to Fenton. At 12:30 Governor Ward, Chairman of the could not therefore permit it to pass, In an article of Monday last, the Chicago Republican refers to and comments upoa aneditonal in * the Chicago Tritune of the previous day, says. | it is not surprising that the Tritwne should have early news of how the vote upen impeach. ment was to result, because it bad means of information denied to other journals. It then charges that he (Ingersoll) had acted asa go- between—an infamous go-between, the paper says—between Senators Grimes and Trambull and the Chicago Tritune, and had mae a suc- cessful night trip between Washington aud Chicago to inform the Tribune how the vote would go. The paper also charges a plot to s- cure the aequittal of the Presideut, and that be (Ingersoll) was in the plot. He desired to say that there was not the least foundation in this tory, and it was altogether wnqnalifiedly false, Gn-'the 3d of May he went to Ilhaois to attend the Congressional and State Cou- vention, but be did not then meet any- one connected with the Tribune, nor did he have a conversation upon the subject of im- peachment with any one that was connect- ed with the Tritwne, nor did he have any. pe sonal knowledge how the vote would be. to the plot, he would say that he bad not cor versed with a Senator upon the sumect ef Peachment since the trial commenced, for it Bays, gvemed tobim that nome had | Aght to interfere, but that the whole subject shoule be left to the yndgment of the § themselves, | NEF¥ tasty yf Ren enh ee ye Mage dan All who know hima knew that he was in favor | {b« lradilg jobbers have reduced their prices of ine removal of the Presiarat from oles bat | 6 "ubuinte purchasers, but the geueral mar. he bad not thought it consistent with his duty | Ki) is withow! mater Min yh dg toadvocate either acquittal or conviction in the | j0lrably {a'r demand for good styles of ging.

The past week has been one of the flatiest and “least excitable of the season. Prices have a drooping tendency, especially in domestic cot- tons of all kinds, and these now give the tone to the dry goods market. The raw material is suffering a decline, the extent of which cannot be safely determined upoa just now, and th: necessarily affects the price of mamutactured goods. Stocks have considerably accumulated, aud bolders exhibit a nervous disposition to make sales. 1p unbleached goods the transactions of the week have been on a very liuited scale, mad at prices which are not by any means stiitly sas- taiued. Standard shectings may be quoted at | sbout baifa cent under the prices of last week. Bleached shirtings and sheetiags are very sim- ir mm condition to brown goods. Some of the best makes are in moderate demand, and pric-s are well kept up; but for the mediam and infe- rior grades the market is very dull and prices yielding. There is a small demand for drills fcr home consumption, aud a moderate degree of activity in Canton flannels with a view to the fall business.
