THE EVENING STAR Washington News and Gossip. pean chain ye PEACHMENT INVESTIGATION. gs Important Developments. Prva Sar wifes: The Impeachment Managers were im session allthe morning, but examined no witnesses, being engaged in preparing to report to the Houee. About one o'clock Mr. Butler appeared om the floor with a huge roll of manuscript. At half-pasttwo he got the fleer, and sab mitted a report and a resolution with regard to the erse of Mr. Woolley, a witaess who, he said, had put himeelf in contempt of the House by refusing to amswer. The report gives & statement of tacts in regard te the examination of Wolley, his tergiversations and contradic. tions, and his final refusal to answer. . Report then gives further details of the evi- dence taken, qavting a dispatch from W. W. Warden, the President's Stenographer, to Woolley, telling him that chese who are most wOnfidect of conviction, were not these most conversant with the inner workings. ‘The most waportant testimony was that of Thurlow Weed. The Managers had a dis- pateh from Woolley to Weed : “When will the Albany party be on hand for business 1” Weed testified that the “party” referred to was Hach Hastings, of Albany, amd the “business” was the impeachment business. There were other telegrams to Weed from Wooley, S. S. Cox and E. D, Webster, all relat. ing to the same business. Mr. Weed testified that this whole business related to the subject of impeachment-to buying the yows of Senators. He felt no confidence in these schemes for the purchase of votes, and declined to nave any> thing to do with them. Collector Smyth, of New York, first told witness that Gen. Ad- ams had propoted for a certain sum of money to get the votes of Senator -» Senator ——, and Senator ——, and witness could not with certainty indicate the other names. [General Batler here stated that the names of the Senators were mot given in the report of the committee, as these were only interlocutery proceedings.) Mr. Weed tes- tified that the agreement was for four votes. He advised against the arrangement. Smyth asked him what confidence could be placed ia Adams. His impreesion was that Adams was in the war from Ouondaga, New York. The question of procuring votes, Weed testified, was often talked about in New York. Shoop, Woolley, and E. D. Webster, had a conversa- ton with witness about the matter of Adams’ } proposition. The proposition was for votes for money; $30,000 for three votes—those of Senator + Senator » and Senator MM. | ‘dreadfully alficted with Scrofula uesriy Daring thi her body and | The Committee find in evidence that the pur- poses of the plotters were accomplished in & ‘ telegram trom one of their number, that his business is done. They trace the suspicious routes which some of the money took, and | dwell upon the recherebe suppers a: Welcker’s | restaurant, in which the plotters and some of | the President's counsel participated. From all evidence taken together they hold | that Woolley was one of men whe handled the money, and the object of the Managers is to flnd means to compel him to testify. The evidence hows the facts obtained to have been drawn | out from men of more than ordinary cunning, | many of them professional lobbyists, who con- ceaied all they could, and told what they must with manifest reluctance. ‘The commitiee conclude that Woolley was 8 principal worker of the scheme. They say they only Teport so much as shows the importance of getting at what he knows. But they have other evidence of great importance, going to show attempts to obstruct the course of public justice. The report concludes with a resolution, which orders that Woolley be ar- Tested by the Sergeant-at-Arms, brought before the bar, and deizined until he answer, and be subjected to such further orders as the House may direct in bis case. The resolution was adopted. The report caused profound sensation in the House, especially the developements brought out the testimony of Weed. The object ot the Managers is now to havea vote upon the re- maining articies of impeachment delayed until thorough investigation can be had into this purchase business: and in view of the expose made to-day these seems to be no doubt that the delay will be granted by the Senate. Impeach- ment stock has taken abrisk rise this after- noon. Tux City CHARTER BtLu.—The bill recently passed by Congress renewing the charter of this city for one year, with amendments, is still before the President: but the ten days allowed for him to return the same with his ebjections will not expire unul Wednesday next. It is suid that the President will, before that time send the bill back to the Senate with his objec- tions. suggesting several alterations to the same before it cam be approved by him. Tue Wurtz Hovse.—The usual crowd of visitors was at the Executive Mansion this morning, many of whom were admitted to see the President. Secretaries Seward, McCulloch, Collector Smythe of New York, and severa! Representatives bad interviews with the Exec- Utive this forenoon. THE MASONIC FPRATENITY of Springfield, Mass., have invited President Johnson to at- tend their celebration, to take place on St. Jobn’s Day, June 2ith.

The leaders of the Pendleton interest have been here, during the it ten days, taking a view of the situation, and the friends of General Han- cock, in considerable force, have been upon the round to compare notes, and look over the Id {rom & national standpoint. Ardent ad- mirers of Seymour, Hendricks, and Adams have also been amongst us, but not in such organized combination. om a thorough interchange of opinions be- tween the gentlemen representing or support. ing the aboyeenamed proposed nominers, it 18 founa that there is entire unanimity upon one proposition, namely: That in order to secure the nomination to the person who may be gen- erally conceded to be the most popular among the entire conservative masses, (Democratic and Republican,) the special interests of each particular candidate, and the preferences for them, shall give way, aud all shall cheerfully unite to secure the most available candidate. ‘One of the prominent candidates has himself ‘written a letter to a friend in this city, in which he takes this ground. and adds that if it shall be found that in the convention some otaer candidate is the preference, even by one yote, he desires that his friends promptly support that preferred man. In this comparison of view® another fact is discovered, namely, (hat Chiet Justice Chase Would receive the hearty support ot all these factions, and is always mentioned as their second choice at least, and among the most in- fluential Conservative menu here, there bas started up quite a formidable party i favor of the nomination of Chase and Seymonr, or the latter refusing to permit his name to go before the Convention, then that George English be nominated for the Vice Presidency. This ticket to-night seems to be the accepted available com- bination, and beside the various arguments pre- sented in its favor, itis urged that Judge Chase could carry seventy electoral votes from the Sonth: thai he would receive the entire Demo- cratic yote,and would command more Con- servative Republicans and disaffected Radi- cals than any other person that could be nomi- nated. ‘There are otber candidates named tor the Presicency. but there does not appear to be any united action among their friends. Of this class is President Johnson, who has a great number of supporters who would prefer him to any other nominee, but they are waiting the end of impeachment before organizing for effective canvass. EE Ene IMINAL’s BROTHER ExecuTep py Mis. —A deplorable mistake was recent! committed ina town of La Mancha, Spain. 4 criminal was being conducted to the place of exeention, when he escaped and took refuge in an hospital. As admission could only be en- forced in presence of the civil authorities, the building was surrounded until the corregidor (magistrate) could arrive. When that fanc- tionary came an entrance was obtained, and & Rergon wearing & dressing gown and a nightcap was seen walking in the yard; an alguazil thought he recognized him as the tagi- tive, and at once arrested him. The man on being questioned did not reply, but gesticala- ted with great animation; he was nevertheless burried away and the sentence of execation carried out without his having uttered a word. It turned out atterward that he was a deaf and dumb inmate of the hospital, and the brother ofthe real culprit, which last circumstance accounts for the resemblance. Gorxc “SHort” on a Cacacn Pew.— “Pinto” writes'to the Hartford Courant: T' Propensity among brokers to “take @ risi’ manifested its ‘If in a queer way recently. A member of Henry Ward Breecher’s Church was expressing solicitude lest he should not be able to get a for less than one-third more than he pai t year, when a fellow-broker spoke up and said. +1 ‘will sell yon a pew. hat will you give for one 1” Three hun ired and fifty dollars,” was the reply. “Sold” «lai the other, with a laugh, in whic! lookers-on joined. The seller afterward at- tended the auction sale ofthe Plymouth Church ‘ws, bid one off for three hundred and twenty- ve dollars, and gave the receipt to his acquain- tance, making twenty-five dollars, by the oper- ation.

Accord. ingly, on Saturday morning a large number of the sporting element of the city left by the ¢:45 teain for Elkton,which was the most conveniemt point from which to reach the border of Del ware. It was that both parties should be 1 the ring at two o’ciock in the afternoon. Both were promptly on the ground, the stakes were planted and the ring prepared. Up to that time none present suspec’ed that the “mill” would not come off, though it was evident that Busey was the favorite, and bets were freely offered that he would be the victor. At the ap- inted time Busey stepped into the ring, and 8 second and bettle-holder took their ap- Bpinted places. Visions of blackened eves, loody noses and swollen faces filled the minds of the friends of the combatants until the time was called to begin. It was then discovered that White had {ost all disposition to « 10 contest, and positively refused to fight. ‘Much indignation was ex 4 and a consul- tation was held among the friends of White, but he was obdurate, and ‘sisted in his de- termination not to fight.
