Thirty- six private telegrams of Mr. Newton’s, relating to all sorts of subjects, wore produced and read, but no- thing was elicited upon which to base the shadow of a proof of corruption. Butler asked Mr. Newton if he had not written a certain letter to Mr. Smythe, Collector of New York, and went on to indicate the contents of the letter referred to. The witness re plied he had; that he happened to leave it on the table in his room unfolded and that it was stolen from there. as often liberated, the whole proceeding being con- ducted with a mock decorum that was quite refresh- ing to witness. The witness resolutely persisted in refusing to disc] ose his private affairs, though he very good humoredly answered all the questions he possibly could without quite tirning himself inside out. Butler, for instance, read a telegram addressed to : NEW WASHINGTON. The Impeachment Managors’ Investigations, A HARD CUSTOMER EXAMINED, Movement to Have Senator Ross Expelled. ° Wasutnaton, May 21, 1868, More of the Lmpoachment Maangers’ Inves- tensien Farce—A Tough Customer Exam- mi The Managers of Impeachment were in session again to-day at the Judictary Committee room of the House of Representatives. The members of the committee present were Messrs. Butler, Wilson, Williams and Boutwell, No witnesses had been examined upto half-past one o’clock in the afternoon, and the Managers were understood to be engaged in the examination of telegrams, Telegraph men from the several offices in Baltimore, having been sum- moned yesterday, were present. The demand of the Managers yesterday was for all the despatches in the several offices; but some of the officers of the telegraph companies having demurred they have Partly agreed to designate such telegrams as they need. One of the lines here gave up all its despatcnes yesterday, another gave up only a part, while the manager of the third line refused to give up any until he could communicate with the president and superintendent of his company. Mr. Wooley was not before the committee. It is understood, how- ever, that he has not been discharged. Mr. Ralph W. Newton, of New York, was the principal witness to-day, and was under examination four hours and a half, with about “ Who stole it?’ inquired Butler. “T expect you did,” responded Newtoz. The witness was put under arrest four times, pn Collector Smythe—‘‘Come on here at once’’—signed Newton, and asked witness what nefarious scheme he had in contemplation when he penned such an atrocious request as that, Newton replied he felt: lonesome and wanted Smythe to come along and take a drink, whereupon Butler got indignant and said the Board of Managers was not to be trifled with in that fashion. A great deal of such silly matter Made up the fruits of to-day’s investigation. Near the close of Mr. Newton’s testimony he was asked if he had ever known an offer of money maf to the President. He replied, with much grave delibera- tion, that he had, and immediately all the Managers became attentive and prepared themselves, in im- agination, for another article of impeachment. He stated that Mr. William H. Appleton, the publisher, had come to Washington some four or five weeks ago, and signified to the President, through Newton, that in case of his being convicted several gentle- men in New York intended to present him with a purse of $100,000, in gold, and that the house of Mr. Appleton would be at his service after he quitted the Executive Mansion. In case he should be acquitted the sum to be presented would be made $60,000, There was nothing impeachaoie im this, and the Managers got disconsolate and told the witness he might go. Messrs. Johnson, Ward and Cooper were also ex- amined, but nothing of any moment elicited from them. General Tom Ewing, Jr., will be called again to-morrow. The Impeachment Managers and Senators— Adjournment of the Senate till Monday. The Senate to-day made another abortive effort— the second this week—to transact legislative busi- ness. It was perfectly plain that the minds of Sena- tors were occupicd with other matters than the public business of the country, and very easy to perceive that Sumner was dwelling morbidly on ‘the great criminal at the bar of the Senate,” and hoping against hope that his conviction was yet pos- sible. Drake was brooding over the recreancy of his colleague, Henderson. Morgan was wondering if Fenton’s prospects were looking up at Chicago. Pomeroy was inwardly hoping that Butler's smelling committee would find something to charge against his colleague, Ross. Chandler was speculating on the kind of political Hades to which the assembled sachems at Chicago would consign the famous seven Senators who dared to vote just as suited themselves; and all tle other Senators present were thinking either of the Presidential pow- ‘wow out West, or of the probable vote on the second article next Tuesday. Garrett Davis, ever ready with a retaliatory re- solution which is always intended to expose some radical trick, but is seldom mentioned again after once being offered, introduced a motion for @ committee to investigate the threats used to intimidate certain Senators. If this re- solution had been adopted and a committee appointed plenty of material could have been found to present a report of such brutal and organized intimidation, directed against those men who had the firmness to vote for acquittal, as would com- pletely offset whatever trumpery insinuations Butler's committee may have succeeded in elaborating. Senator Henderson made a very telling address on the subject of the Senate being treated by the Board of Managers as though it was @ subordinate branch of the House of Representalives. He read the notice served upon him by the Managers, which was certainly not very peremptory in tone, but rather an amiable and enticing invitation to visit the investi- gating committee and enlighten them on the various matters of current history. Senator Henderson de- murred and read the Managers a lecture, first in reply to their notice and then in his speech to the Senate. The Senators, however, grew tired of doing nothing and adjourned till Monday. Expulsion of Senator Ross. Tne Impeachment Managers are hunting up evi- dence against Senator Ross. They hope to find enough upon which to base a charge of sufficient Magnitude to warrant the radicals in voting for his expulsion from the Senate. They will no doubt fail in this weak attempt, but if they should succeed it will avail them nothing. Mf Mr. Rosa should be ex- pelled the vote would stand upon the remaining ar- It will be seen that the impeachers would still lack one vote of the reguisite two-thirds, Incendiaries in Georgia=Action Military. Some weeks ago an attempt was made by a party of incendiaries at Thomasville, Ga., to burn several houses, stables, &c., and was successful to such an extent that fears were entertained for the safety of the village. The parties engaged in the incendiary business were composed of both whites and blacks, and carried their villainy so far that it became necessary to call for military protection, which was afforded by First Lieutenant G. B. Johnson, of the Seventh United States infantry, upon whose arrival with @ competent force of military, the flames were extinguished and quiet restored. This happened about the 13th of last month, and for sev- eral nights afterwards a police force of whites and blacks patrolled the town regularly after ten o'clock. Lieutenant Johnsgn made an official report of the plot to burn the town, and he has received an omicfal letter informing him of General Meade's approval of of the his conduct. His action was also complimented by Y@RK HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1868.—TRIPLE SHEE. trial for the impeachment of Andrew Jonson and other contingent expenses, Receipts from Customs, The following are the receipts from customs from May 11 to the 16th, inclusive:— New York. . $2,402,000 Boaton.. ee Among the Presidential nominations to-day, was that of W.

Mr. CONKLING, (rep.) of N. Y., presented a petition of numerous underwriters and merchants of the city of New York praying that no means be adopted to lessen’ the efficiency of the coast survey, which was referred to the Committeeon Commerce, Alsoa petition of Seymour White, a citizen of Texas, asking relief from disabilities, which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Also a memorial of the Buffalo Board of Trade, asking that money be ex- pended by the city of Buffalo in constructing a straight cut from Lake Michigan to the Milwaukee river, which was referred to the Committee on Com- merce. Also resolutions of the New York Produce Exghange, asking appropriations for the further im- provement of the harbor of Buffalo, which was re- ferred to the Committee on Commerce. Mr. DRAKE, (rep.), of Mo., presented a petition of the Board of Trade of St. Louis asking an appropria- tion for the survey and clearing of the obstructions from Bayou Mauchoe in order to open a direct com- munication from the Mississippi river via Lake Pont- chartrain to the Gulf of Mexico, which was referred to the Committee of Commerce.

DGING THE QHIO AND MISSISSIPPI. On motion of Mr. Morton, (rep.) of Ind., the Senate took up the resolution heretofore introduced by him authorizing the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads to consider the propriet of report- ing a general bill to wide for the buil of TOS Ohio and Missianingl rivers that on, to reported by them for the erection of a bridge across the Oblo fiver. Mr. Morton, after speaking of the importance of the sub- ject to those interested in the navigation of those rivers, said the bill in questien did not full describe the character of the bridge pro) whic! was to have a draw of but 160 feet in width, and the largest width of the beetween the piers was to be feet. Such draws, he said, destroyed the navigation of the rivers, there being no safety for boats alone to pass them; except in the day- time and with rafts and barges they do not pass at all save under the most favorable circumstances. The privilege of constructing a draw- bi Ought to be absolutely withdrawn, and the span should not be less than 600 feet. The bridge authorized at Steubenville of three hun- dred feet span would act as a great impediment to navigation, and if suoh bri were multiplied they wor totally destPoy tt. interests of rail- roads and those of river navigation were not tncom- patible, but the latter were of the first importance to the people, since it had been estimated that the value of the passing up and down the Ohio river waa equal to that of tne freights of all the railroads in the United States, and the freights on the river were cheaper, by one-fifth to one-half, than those on rail- Toads. NEW CONSTITUTIONS OF SOUTHERN STATES. The CHarr laid before the Senate a communication from the President enclosing the new constitutions of Louisiana, North Carolina and Georgia. Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. SENATOR HENDERSON AND THE IMPEACHMENT MANA- RS, Gens. Mr. HENDERSON, (rep.) of Mo., rose tp a question of privilege and read a note he had received on Tuesday from the Board of Impeachment Managers request- ing him to appear before them to aid their inquiries by giving such testimony as would tend to instruct the House of Representatives on the matter they de- uted to investigate by the resolution of the 16th Tast. He then read his answer, sent yesterday, in which he sajd that personally he nad no objection to comply with their request, more particularly as his re- fusal would be misconstrued and subject him to further calumny; but as a Senator he could not com- py without first submitting the matter to the Senate for their advice and concurrence. He considered the terms of the resolution under which they were acting as. insulting to the Senate, and felt that it would be injurious to the dignity of the Senate, to public apes and to the public interests to counte- nance the assumed right of the House to sit in inqui- sition on the members of this body. He thought that the resolution was calculated to deprive the Senate of the proper control of its own , and would even oblige the Senators to divulge their secret deliberations under fear of committal for contempt and removal from the protection of the Senate. He stated that he had before com- mittee of the House Ferg and had testified to what little he knew about the Chief Justice and the formation of a new party, and protesting only at the close because he not wish to ex] himself to misconstruction by refusing to testify, although he felt that most of the questions were not pertinent. In ard to this other committee, however, he would refuse to comply with their request unless the Senate thought it best he should do so, and to the Senate he now submitted the question, with a letter from the Managers he had just received. The letter was read, disavowing any intentional iscourtesy to the Senate and saying their former letter was not intended as a subpoena, but simply a request which implied his right to decline to answer - question he considered improper. ir, CHANDLER, (rep.) of Mich., moved that the Senate do now adjourn, but withdrew the motion to allow Mr. PomERoy, rf .) of Kansas, to make a statement. He said:—! Toure to say a single word. Lreceived the same kind of an invitation from the Managers that had been received by the Senator from Missouri (Mr. Henderson.) Lobeyed it. I gave my testimony, and I do not know that I had been in- sulted or that the Senate had been.

I confess that I had no sensibility on the question, and did not feel that the character of the Senate or my own character was involved, be- cause the Managers chose to examine me in order to ferret out something. I also was aware of the rules of the Senate—I have them in my hand—and here is one relating to impeachment:—‘‘if a Senator is called as @ witness he shail be sworn and give his testimony standing in bis place;” therefore, by the rules of the —— ‘any Senator may be called as a witness. ir.

Knowing, as we do from public report, that tt is among the possibilities that a furcher article of ee may be exhibited against the Presi- dent, it does seem to me @ work of superfiuity which I cannot comprehend, that any ir would seek to throw in its way s dignity of the Senate or any ciaima of his own.

He remembered that the President's counsel had threatenéd Senators with the fate of the accusers of Daniel if they should vote against the President, He supposed, liowever, that was @ mere flourish of rhetoric. Sugh remarks might have been made by persons outside of: the chamber; but he could not believe that attem| had been made to intimidate the Senate. ho) tenets, that the language of the preamble would m . Mr. DRak& also urged. a change in the preamb! and Mr. DAVIS professed himself willing to make n and the preamble was modified accordingly. Mr. Davis hoped that an investigation would prove that no foundation exists: for the report. He also exprd@sed the hope that the Chair would not ap sy: him on Cy Sopmlviee. Ir. PRBRY, ‘onn., exproased at the introduction this resolution, aa well as that of the House of Representatives, which’ latter he consid- ered to be in derogation of the privileges of the Senate, its preamble setting that there is probs able cause to believe that evil or corrupt influences have been used to intluenoce the action of the Senate, He did not believe the Managers had before the many facts to warrant that allegation. He:thought it be- hoo the Senate to preserve its own purity and ir. EDMUNDS, (rep.) of Vt., asked whether, if some officer of the government subject. to tmpeach- ment approached a Senator with an offer of a bribe, which Senator refused, it would be proper for the House of Representatives to make an investiga- tion or to pass & resolution of inquiry setting forth the fact, and whether that would be a declaration that the Senate had been controiled by corrupt motives. . Mr. SUMNER—Not at all. Mr. EDMUNDS—The preamble states that there is robable cause to believe that corrupt taduences have been attempted. Mr. SuMNER—Have been used. Mr. CONKLING—Have been employed to imfluence she eae of the Senate. . FRERY thought it a distinction without a differ- ence. If such epane cause existed it should have been brought to the knowledge of the Senate for ita action. Had he been requested to appear before the Managers on & resolution based upon such @ pre- amble as that he should have felt it his duty to de- cline tn view of the fact that most of the articles are yet to be voted upon. Mr. Howe asked tf the Senator knew of any consti- tultonal ‘method by which the Senate can direct the action of the House or prevent its attending to branch of business. ahased Mr. FERRY said no; but he knew that the House cannot constitutionally tread on the privileges of the Senate. They all hoped that the final determination of the impeachment question will be finally de- rmined on Tuesday next, and then he thought, if ever, it would be the proper time to make the pro- posed investigation of any facts that were brought to the knowledge of Senators upon which to base it, and he therefore moved that the further considera- ko ols the resolution be postponed until this day week. Mr. EDMUNDS dented that tne resolution of the House contained any reflection on the Senate. It set forth simply that the person on trial had used means to influence the determination of the Senate, and he considered it a perfectly broper subject for inquiry by the House of Representatives. Mr, SuMNER—It is their duty. Mr. EDMUNDS read the House resolution, and con- tended that he had given it a fair interpretation. The preamble did not charge that the Senator from Kentucky EE Davis) had been influenced by the They all knew that means were fre- thy without producing any result. The janagers been authorized make further in- vesti m in to impeachment, and it regard was the undoubted right of the House to so authorize them, with a view to prey new articles of impeachment, in order to ascertain whether the constitutional prer< ves of the President permit him to do this also. No one would attribute corrupt motives to the Senator from Missouri (Mr. Henderson); but he (Mr. Edmunds) could not be foiled in the least by assisting the further investigation by his testimony—dn investiga- tion which the House of Representatives preserved to itself the right to make when it presented the arti- cles of impeachment. Mr. BUCKALEW, (cara) of Pa,, said he was not folng. into distinctions of that sort. They had seen yy the ra that the Managers had eXamined a number of witnesses on a variety of subjects. They had asked @ member of this body what he had done, where he had who had called upon him, who had talked with him. ey had even gone into the banks to ascertain the state of the accounts of a witness, It was idle to attempt to deny that it was all levelled atone purpose. The country understood it.

Mr. EpMUND8—That was only on the matters be- tween him and his colleagues. oo espns was examined on every imagi- nable thing.

Mr. Hows said tf @ reflection were made upon his character he would seek to vindicate himself at the time the oe was made, and, therefoi he did not with the Senator from Connecticut that this should be postponed until the final vote is had. He hoped that the request for copies of the record would be ne pe with, coming as tt did from a co-ordinate branch, and being couched in re- spectful terms. The Senate should either comply with the request or refuse it. He knew of nothing bre Poe the ng ng Loe grmeme from seeking ight In any way. He was opposed to monopollzi as had been ted, the privil of invest gating the character of its @' members.

AMUSEMENTS. RIcHINGs OPERA TROUPE—BROOKLYN ACADEMY.— Last night the Richings opera troupe appeared at the Brooklyn Academy. It is only on rare occasions that the Academy is so well filled and with such an audience. It was altogether a grand success. Martha and Nancy, Plunkett and Lionel were never More interesting. on any stage or before any audi- ence. Some of the quartets were admirably rendered, and to particularize but one instance, the ‘Last Rose of Summer,” as sui by Miss Caroline Richings, was rfeotion {tself. “Martha” is all through a sweet and lelightful piece, and it is only just to say that it hag seldom—by the Richi themselves or by any other troupe been more happily rendered. «Martha is presents a striking and most able contrast to such pieces as the “Black Crook,” the “White Fawn,’ et hoc genus omne, which have been and still are so much the rage. The manner in which “Martha” was last night received shows that mana- gers may count on success without making tt dan- gerous for husbands to take their wives or parents to pent their daughters to visit the theatre. Purity and sweet simplicity are still compatible with at- tractiveness and even pecuniary success. A little rivairy in the production of such pieces as “Martha” would be certain to beget a healthful reaction, WALLACK’s THEATRE.—The “White Cockade” con- tinues to draw well. This is inevitable for a time at this establishment. Wallack’s theatre has a rogular clientelle among the piay goers of this town, so that certain number of persons must see every play pro- duced there; and it takes a number of nights for the procession of these habitual supporters to file through the house. There are plays that might carry the procession through twice or three times, or more; but the “White Cockade” will perhaps only draw them once. It is a pleasant enough play to see, Sheeran ten stizactive in its sedate dis- jay ant with a very effective heatre, Rie prominent incidents, with all the romance of a very interest but exceedingly ext riod of arpa history, are ‘ulustrated = in an engaged in their roduction. however, be set forth on the si with that fidelit; to detail which 1s necessary for the purpose of public tmstruction, and without this the dramatic show tends merely to generate a sort of unhealthy sentimentaliam for the Pretender and his fate. Americans of the present day feel little interest tn the subject. It would have been better, more profit- able, because more satisfactory, to the ‘people if the same talent which has been be nee to the produc- tion of ‘The White Cockade’’ been directed to the on the stage some of the stirring inci- dents which present themselves in the history of our country. The late war evolved many of at gran- deur, sublimity, in fact, which could have been made available with ease to the author. Frenca THEATRE.—Mrs. J. J. Prior was the recipi- ent of a complimentary testimonial at the French theatre last evening, the pleces represented being “All that Glitters is not Gold,” “The Irish Tutor” and “A Fix.” A | number of well known players volunteered for the occasion, and the favorite and ire waa warmly welcomed and applauded. Tae New York MUSICAL FesTivaL.—After sundry impotent growls and menaces the clerk of the weather concluded to let the Steinway Hall festival alone last night, as his ready response to the prayer of Elijah on the preceding evening to send down rain produced not the slightest effect on the atten- dance. The programme last night consisted of the beautiful pastoral symphony of Beethoven, Men- delssohn'’s grand aria, “Infelice; the “Ave Maria,” by Gounod—both sung by Miss Maria Brainerd—the first movement of Chopin’s concerto No. 3, in F minor, played by Mr. 8. B. Mills; the overture “Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg,” and the “Mephisto Waltz,” second episode from Lenau’s “Faust,” by Liszt. Why the two last mentioned works should have @ place on any respectable programme we are at a lossto know. We have already given our candid opinion of them, and from a third hearing, see no reason to change or even modify it. ‘There are, to be sure, some grand effects in the over. ture, but what are d effects without unity of idea and pu! in @n orchestral work? As for the “Mephisto Waltz,” it is simply nonsense, and, had the well known old gentieman to whom it refers heard it, he would have made a nae retreat from earth and instantly returned to his warm do- mintons below. It is hard to be afflicted with Wag- ner and Liszt in the concert hall; but probably every nuisance is sent for some wise purpose. The works we refer to served last night to throw the merite of the other composers into stronger relief. phn | that an unsurpassed orchestra, with a competent, conductor, could do with the ies of the crazy ‘Abbe and the other apostle the “music of the fature” was done on this occasion, but without avail.

SHOGTING AFFRAY IN CHATHAM STRECT; “Young Miles,” the Pedestrian, Shoots His Trafuer While the Latter is Asleep. It will be’ remembered by those persons who have taken any imferest in pedestrian events that have been occurriag In all parts of the country of late that somewhat of a2 tir was.made some time ago in cer- tain circles by @ pedestrian match that was made between two “Knights of the foot,” named, respect ively, “Young Miles’* and Goulding, the principal agreement to tiie match being that the winner should walk a thousand miles in s'thousand hours, The place where these ambitious footites have been walking it for weeks past in pursuance of the regu. lations established by the formalities of the contest is No..92 Chatham street, and the “sports” about town have been Setting their “piles” day after day on the final result in its vicinity, The result of the match pronounced itself last evening, though in @ r different way than any one expected; and whether or not a human life has been lost by the means by which the walk was brought to an abrupt conclusion is as yet a prob- Jem. It appears that some time yésterday afternooh “Tommy Miles,” in completing six hundred and twenty-eighth mile, by some means or another sprained his ankle. He found it so diMiculé to walk with his foot in a maimed con- dition that his trainer, ome James Ross, who resides at No, 114 Sixth avenue, deemed it advisable that Miles should be allowed a rest sufficiently long to enable him to continue his walking without in anywise infringing upon the regulations of the match. Miles, on being made acquainted with the wishes of his trainer, at once complied with his suggestions, and was consequent removed to a room adjoining that in whicl the pedestrian feat was being accomplished. where he was allowed to rest on a bed. Soon after lying down he fell fast asleep, it would seem, and was still oblivious to all things outside of dreamland, when a man named Thomas Bayles rapped loudly al the door of the room, in order to awaken him before the time allotted for the resting spell had totally ex- ired. For sometime Bayles could obtain no answer o his rappings, but finally heard Miles call out to him, It so happened that Ross, the trainer, who ha@ seated himself by a window in Miles’ room durin the latter's slumbers, had himself failen asleep and when Miles awoke was still sleeping. According to Miles’ own story he shouted to Ross, but could not~ succeed in awaking him, and as was unable to) move from the bed on account of his sore foot hé thought he would find another method to bring his trainer to his senses, He had i a poet of his pantaloons a small one barreled pistol, loaded with powder and ball, and, as he with the intention of firing the contents over Ross’ head, who was only about sixteen feet from him, that the noise made by the expiosiom might awake him, he drew the pistol and fired; but the ball, instead of going over, Rosa! head, strock "him in the right side of the neck, causing @ wound from which thé blood flowed proriae , and which, tt is needless toy state, aroused him with a vengeance.
