——_—__——. - WASHINGTON. The Chicago Platform Not En- tirely Satisfactory to All the Radicals, Probable Report of the Impeachment | Managers on Monday. New Charges Prepared Against the President. The British Minister's Despatches to His Gov- ernment Suid to Have Been Seized by General Butler. WASHINGTON, May 29, 1868, The lmpenchment Managers aud Their Ine vestigations, It is understood now that the Impeachment Mana- gers have under consideration the question whether they shall report progress to the House on next Monday, in relation to their investigations into the supposed corrupt influences that were employed in persuading certain republican Senators to vote for acquittal on the eleventh article, or wait until the in- vestigation is entirely completed, which it is thought will be within the next fortnight. A majority of the Board is said to be in favor of reporting on Monday. There can be no doubt whatever that several of the impeachment leaders of the House have drawn up ad- ditional articles to be exhibited agains the President (Thad Stevens among the number), one or two of which are said to be based upon what is claimed as the usurpations of Andrew Johnson in the establishment of provisional governments in the Tebellious States. It is believed that a great number of republicans in the House are emphatically op- posed to bringing forward any new charges against ‘the President unless something should be eliminated by the Board of Managers in their present inquisi- tion that could be construed beyona the possibility af doubt as a high crime and misdemeanor, The Cooper-Pomeroy Affair, The Cooper-Pomeroy matter is not yet settled and promises to relieve the dulness whicb will supervene after the sectlement of the impeachment verdict on Tuesday. Cooper has a masked battery of charges in position which he intehds to open on Pemeroy the Moment the latter attempts to explain how his name happened to get mixed up with the impeachment investigation and attempts to escape from the impu- tation on record against him by throwing the odium on Cooper. It is not expected that the Managers will give the matter any further attention, as it im- Plicates no Senator who voted for acquittal. Reported Seizure of the British Minister’s Despatches. Itissaid that among the telegraphic despatches seized by the Board of Impeachment Managers were several cable despatches sent by the British Minister to his government. It is further stated that the an- nouncement that Ben Butier had taken possession of all private telegrains sent from this city since the Friday evening preceding the vote on the eleventh article, called to the recollection of Mr. Thornton that included in the number of despatches so seized might perhaps be certain messages sent by him to the British government, and on making inquiry this was found to be the case. Rumor has it that an in- ¢ipient imbroglio is plainly discerned by those who have had an opportunity of learning all that has transpired in the matter. No better authority than ramor, however, can be found for the story. Rumor About Senators Trumbull and Fessen- * den—The Radicals in Need of Money. A story has been industriously e:rculated here within the past few days that Senator Trumbull would certainly vote for another article, the charac- ter of which he indicated, if it was introduced by the Managers. Senator Fessenden was also said to favor the introduction of some other impeachable offences; ‘but the entire story is one of those fabricated bulle- tins which the impeachers are constantly transmitting from here all over the country to keep alive the hope among their friends that the conviction of the President is not yet impossible. The whole clamor and fierce outcry against Senators who refused to vote for conviction and thereby prevented the removal of the President resolves itself into the simple explanation that there is no money to any amount in the radical treasury to conduct the Pre- sidential campaign. The progressive party has been Mving so fast for the past seven years that it neglected to provide adequately for such a contin- gency as now presents itself. Money and official patronage were never before s0 coveted. In fact, so desperate is the desire to retain power that two- thirds of the extreme men would, remove George Washington if he stood in their way at this particu- Jar time. ‘Phe Last Witnesses Examined. The Impeachment Managers were in session at the Judiciary Committee room of the House to-day, examining witnesses and overlooking private cor? respondence. Every effort is being made to blacken the character of one or more republican Senators who voted for the acquittal of the President on the eleventh article, with a view of compelling them to vote for conviction on the second article. Seyera witnesses were examined, among them Thurlow ‘Weed, who was before them for two hours; Henry A. Smythe, Collector of the Port of New York; Sheridan Shook, Collector of Internal Revenue at New York, and John E. Risley, Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Subpoenas have been issued for a good many other witnesses throughout the country, Movement to Induce General Grant to Resign. A strong pressure is being brought to bear upon General Grant to induce him to resign his commis- sion, and it is hinted that the movement is counte- nanced at the White House. This pressure is not shared in by the republicans, who desire that Grant shail remain at the head of the army until the last moment, and they advise him to withhold his resig- nation until the first week in November next. Radicals Dissatisfied With the Chic: form. A qood many of the radicals here are expressing dissatisfaction with the Chicago platform, particu- larly with the,plank relating to negro suffrage. They ay & great deai more danger to the integrity of the party is to be apprehended from half-way trimming measures than a bold announcement of a determina- tion to press universal suffrage to its legitimate con- clusion, and embrace North and South at the same time. The extreme men say they are sick of a party that has not courage to hurl Johnson out of the White House and make a straightforward avowal of the principle of equal rights, which is the very life- essence of the party.

The Attack on the French Sailors—Naval Oration Over the Murdered Officer. {#rom the Moniteur du Soir, May 6.) By the last despatches from Osaka, in Japan, the French Minister of Marine has received news to the lth of Mareh. The Japanese authorities, sent by the Mikado, had gone on board the frigate Venus, the day after the attack on the French crew, for the pur- pose of giving up the bodies which had been ree ered in the roadstead. They expressed to the com- mander the profound regret of tuelr government, and admitted that the advair Was the less justifiable that the suilors had afforded no pretext for the cowardly aggression of which they had been the object. The dead have been buried at Kobe. The midshipman, who was killed, was the only one that had a revolver, and he fired off all the barrels before he was killed. All the Ministers and resi- dents, &c., attended the funeral, also officers from the different men-of-war, and the band of the Océan. The Captain of the Dupleix made an oration over the poor fellows’ graves (there being no priest). He was very much excited, and told the Frenchmen to look on the graves of their shipmates and countrymen, who had been ay murdered in cold blood, and their deaths must be revenged, or they were all cowards and not Frenchmen. ‘The Minister, Léon Roche, spoke next. He was so moved that he could hardly Cast in fact, all the sailors were shedding tears. He told them to have confidence in their omi- cers ‘inister, and he solemnly swore over the bodies of his murdered countrymen, in the name of France and the Emperor, that they should be bit- terly revenged. It was a sad scene, and even the most thoughtless were much affected. There are several more men severely wounded, and I think nue offieers, who happened to’ be near in another at. THE TURF. Racing at Cincinnati—First Day’s Meeting of the Buckeye Association—Interesting and Exciting Races—Fine Attendance—The Win- ners and Losers. CINCINNATI, May 23, 1868, The first day’s races of the Buckeye Association spring meeting took place this afternoon. The at- tendance was excellent, all things considered, and the day’s sport was in all respects entertaining and exciting. The usual display of beauty and fashion was to be seen on the grand stand, and all present appeared to take deep interest in the result of the race.

The first race over the Laclede Course to-day was for the Filly stakes, for three year olds, mile heats, $25 entrance, the association adding $400; nine en- trances, but only three started. The Brusher won two straight heats and the race, beating Ontario and Plover. ‘The latter was distanced in the first heat. Time, 1:46—1:473;.

The attendance during the week has been un- usually large; the weather was superb, and, con- sidering the condition of the track, which has been slow, everything passed off satisfactorily. The association will issue a list of premiums for their annual June Horse Fair in a few days, which will embrace prizes for trotting norses as well as thorougibreds. Hoboken Races. The fourth annual spring mecting of the Hudson County Agricultural Society will commence on Tues- day next and continve three days, There will be three races on each of the first two days, and four on the third, On the first day there will be a post stake premium for two year olds, @ dash of half a mile; next a dash of a mile and a half for three year olds; to be followed by the great stallion post stake for three year olds, mile heats, The latter closed with six entries:—Mr. T. B. Read’s produce of Breckinridge, Major T. G. Bacon’s of Bill Cheatham, Colonel P. C. Bush’s of imported Lapidist, Mr. Morris’ of imported Eclipse, Colonel McDaniels’ of both Planet and Jeff Davis. The second day will open with a selling race, with the usual allowances for prices to be sold for; then follows a dash of two tiles, the day's sport closing with mile heats. The programme for the third day 1s especially rich. It begins with a hurdie race at welter weights, in which there are six or seven entries; a post stake for three year olds follows; the Consolation premiums comes next, then a mile and a half dash, with allowances for horses that have been beaten at the meeting; and to wind up there will be a purse of $700 for all ages, two mile heats, which will probably be the best ra of the meeting. There are now at the grounds more than fifty horses, with twenty more to come, whici will make over seventy fn all, and it is quite likely that all are intended to take part in the several races for which purses are offered. Great sport, therefore, may be reasonably anticipated. Nearly ail of these horses are entered for the Jerome Park races, and those who intend speculating will have so excellent an opportunity of gauging their capabilities at Ho- boken that they can pe their financial course at Jerome Park with great precision, pays yer money and yer takes yer choice.” Notes From the French Stables—Events to Come Off=Latest Betting, [From Bell's Life in London, May 9.)

THE CORSET AND THE CRINOLINE. What a fruitful theme is this for the historian, the philosopher, the physician, the poet, the sketcher and the engraver! It is a theme which embraces the dearest, highest and most important interests of the human race. Accordingly, the reader of this book, from Miss Fiora McPiimsey up to Profe: will nd it not oniy interesting, but instructive. n y London printed mmperial octavo of ss pages, type large and clear, paper of the f London cream tint—‘ a book of modes ind cost from remote periods to the present tine” (by W. B. L.), with fifty-four full page and other engravings, and is published in London by Ward, Lock & Tyler, and issued in New York from Scribner, Welford & Co's, The legend on the title is quaintly suggestive of the comprehensive subject of the volume, to wit:— O wha will shoe my fair foot, And wha will glove my han’, And wha will lace my middie jimp Wi’ a new made London ban’y The preface broadly suggests the general design of the book to be an argument for the corset and its necessity and usefulness as an article of female adornment, and the testimony collected from the time of Homer to the present day, though involving much of the flercest condemnation, is adroitly calcu- lated to justify the corset. The chapter of contents begins with the origin of the corset in the waist belt of the gentle savage, iis use among ancient people from Egypt and Palestine to China, Then we have the corset according to Homer and Terentius, the strophium of Rome and the mitra of Greece, the peplus, Cleopatra’s jewels, tight lacing on the Tiber, Then follow the Frankish fashions of the Dark Ages, the Monks and the corset, corset wear- ing gentlemen, Chaucer on small _ waists, &c. Then a general chapter on the fashions from Francis the First of France to “Good Queen Bess,” of England, as she is facetiously styled by the Sassenach. When we are given the excessively rigid and elaborate fashions of the epoch of Louis XIV., and the patches, &c., of Charles the First, and the tight lacing which prevailed even under Cromwell, and so on to Louis the XV. and XVI, and the terrific French Revolution which completely revolutionized female dress as it did everything else; and on to the tight waists of Vienna, down to the Parisian fashions and styles of corsets of the present generation, This comprehensive history of the corset embraces many curious letters, descriptions, criticisms and illustra- tions upon the subject, and the general subject of the fashions from the ancient Egyptians down to our time, We will give an extract or two. The first full page engraving, illustrative of the charms of the corset, is that of a Circassian lady, a model of feminine beauty, whose corset is thus de- seribed:— What would our ladies think of this fashion on the Part of the famed beauties of Circassia. The women Wear a corset made of morocco and furnished with two plates of wood placed on the chest, whieh, b their stroug pressure, prevent the expansion of t chest. This corset also confines the bust, from the collar bones to the waist, by means ot a cord which passes through leather rings. They even wear it during the night, and only take it off when worn out to put on another quite as small. ‘he ancient Egyptians, that great people whose monuments attest their progress in the arts of a high civilization, were not a corset wearing people. An extract from Fullam thus describes the costumes of their ladies:— Their dress, according to Herodotus, usualiy con- sisted of but one garment, though a second was often added. Among the upper orders the favorite attire was a petticoat tied round the waist with a gay sash, and worn under a robe of fine linen, or a sort of chintz, variously colored, and made large and loose, with wide sleeves, the band being fastened in front, Just under the bust. Their feet were encased in san- dais, and their persons were lavishly decked with or- naments of * jewels in silver and jeweis in gold,” with preeious gems of extraordinary size, So with the ancient Israelites, a race of great men and beautiful women. The jatter had nothing nearer the corset than a girdle, which permitted the full de- velopment of the chest and full play to the Jungs, the stomach and the liver, though our author attempts to twist this girdle into an apology for a corset. The girdle, too, was the distinguishing article of attire of the splendid women of ancient Greece, the mothers of the first recorded conquerors of the known world. According to Homer the girdle, or cestus, was de- rived from Juno and Venus, mother of the Loves and Graces, a fashion from the goddesses of high Olympus, In an extract given from Terentius, a Roman dramatist, who flourished 560 B.C., the wholesome Roman country girl of his time was not the distorted creature of fashion of the capital. He says:— ‘The pretty creature (the country girl) isn’t at all like our town ladies, who saddle tieir backs and straight lace their waists to make them well shaped. If any chance to grow a little plumper than the rest, they presently cry ‘‘She’s an hostess,” and then her allowance must be shortened, and though she be naturalty fat and lusty, yet by her dieting she js made as slender as a broomstick. By this ingens one woodcock or another is caught in the springe. Yet the engraving of a Rowman lady in the reign of Heliogabuius shows that the world-subduing Romans, like the ancient Greeks, could boast a race of women whose distinguishing perfections were not destroyed or distorted by corsets, though this author labors for a different conclusion. From the Dark Ages down tothe sixteenth century the corset in reality began to be developed, enlarged and improved, until in the time of Queen Elizabeth it is presented as the most shocking and hideous of female fashionable tortures. This book gives us an engraving of “a corset cover of steel worn (in France and Italy) in the time of Catherine de Medici,” which as an instrument of torture, one would think, would qualify the wearer grown to it to bear without a groan the rack and the wheel of the inquisition, The same be said of the “corset cover of steel worn (in England) in the reign of Queen Elizabeth,” to which @ contemporary English author applies the following lines:— ‘These privie coats by arta made strong With bones, with paste, with such like ware, Whereby tieir backs and sides grow And now they harnest gallant are; Were they for use against the toe Our dames for Amazons might go. The vicious temper and dreadful death of poor old “Queen Bess" were doubtless largely due to the tor- ments she suffered under this painfui and barbarous fashion, worse than any of the revolting, deforming inventions of the Flathead Indians or savages of Pern, But our author makes Queen Elizabeth an apology for the corset, even in the shape of a steel culrass. This fearful torture was continued down to Louis XIV. and XV., and if the bloody and dtabolical French Revolution had brought about no other re- form there would still be some compensation for its atrocities in its liberation of the French women, for a time, from the merciless tortures of the corsets aud crinoline of the Bourbons, and in substituting the simple ancient Greek costume with the republic. We have satd that the general design of this book is an apology for the corset, We have to say in con- clusion that its special design is an advertisement for certain corset makers, and it is an advertise- ment so skilfully gotten up as to lead to much mischief if not exposed, as a well contrived and plausible apology for tight lacing. In this view this pretty book is reduced to the calibre of Dr. Humbug’s travelling van, embellished with paintings of the miraculous virtues of his infallible elixyg from the fountain of youth. It iaabook purporting to give a true history of “the corset and the crinoline,”’ while it disregards the truths of history, the nws of nature, the best established facts of medical acience. With this opinion we dismiss it as ‘‘a sell” upon the general reason and @ cunning advertising dodge. “Only this and nothing more.” Hence the anony- mous auchor, W. B.

The story of the drama is too fami- liar to need comment. A tale of Italian intensity, it is perhaps a trifle too hasty in its pas- sions to be thoroughly appreciated by an American audience; for to the cooer headed American the hot haste of the Italian smacks a trifle of the absurd—a. fact which renders the plots of most Italian operas too eecraingly inconsequent to command American ap- Ppreciation, It is true that wariner and more fiery natures usuaily act desperately without sufficient cause; but a plot in which it is necessary to make ullowance for nationality, av strung with ef- the men if they were brought before me; never had any trouble with “Brick; would know hin if I saw him; first told Mr. Andrews, the yard keeper, of the affair.

Niblo’s Garden and the attractive features of that Popular spectacular drama, the “White Fawn,” oc- cupied the attention Jast evening of Mr. Burlingame and suite and ten of the Chinese embassy. The two Mandarines, the jarge guns of the Chinese deputa- tion proper, were among the visitors. Front seats in the parquet circle were set apart for their use, giving them the best opportunity to see the play to the best advantage, as well as the audience the best opportunity to see these strange visilors from the far Orient. ‘Their enjoyment of the drama and the changing scenes of the fairy extravaganza unfolded with such wonderful and artistic magnitl- cence to their view, was abundantly apparent in the constant use of the Bs get glasses furnished them, in the constant smiles of pleasure lighting up their saffron hued and usually sedate countenances with unwonted animation, and toward the close, as they began more to enter Into the spirit of the piece and feel more at home in their ready and hearty adoption of the occidental style of giving applause—ciapping their hands. It was evidently an evening of most thorough and satisfied enjoyment to them, The bright realms of the dragon fly dilated their diminutive, bead-like eyes beyend any visions or dreains even of Oriental experience. Mr. Burlingame left at the close of the second act to fulfil a previous engagement at the Century Club, but the Chinese and the rest of the company stayed till the @nal fali of the curtain, MATINEE. Again a change in the weather, which has been in- dulging in the most extraordinary freaks this month, Yesterday the streets had a forbidding asject and few cared about places of amusement. Yet in spite of the drizzling rain a good sized audience, a large proportion being ladies, congregated at Stemway Hall at the only matinee of the grand festival. Those who attemied were regaled with @ choice feast of music. he soloists were Madame Parepa-Rosa, who sang the scena and aria “Sweet Spirit,’ from Larline, and a song by Millard in her own unrivalled style, receiving an encore after each; Mr. Wenzel Kopta, violin, whose execution of the beautiful “Midsummer Night's Dream,” like concerto in E mi- nor by Mendelssohn and Paganini’s “Di Tanti- Palpiti,”"was sans reproche and entitied to the highest praise; Messrs. G. W. Colby and Pease, on the piano, and Mr. Bartlett, barflone. The concert commenced with Schubert’s posthumous symphony, of which we have spoken at length before. The novelty of the entire bili was the overture to the oratorio of “St. John the Baptist,” by George W. Morgan, which was heard for the second time in Ainerica. It is diMeult to form @ compreheasive opinion of this work witi- out hearing the oratorio with which it is necessarily connected by irrefragible bonds. Yet it gives a very favorable idea of the oratorio itself and testifies to the high degree of artistic excellence on tie part of the composer. The overture opens with a solemn adagio theme which permeates the entire work and which is hig Serna to represent the “Precursor.’? ‘This melody ts admirably suited to represent the idea of a great prophet. The second movement, andante, istaken from a duet in tne oratorio “And He shall gather wheat,” and forms a pleasing coda to its pre- decessor, The ailegro followmg describes the trials and persecutions to which the Baptist was bapargered and ia cleverly worked up to the climax of his mar- ‘dom, breaking off in an abrupt crash of the entire estra. The succeeding chorus represents the triumph and reward of the just man, and gradually y into a beantiful, plaintive fuale, expres- sive of death and peace for evermore. 1t is a work of considerabie merit, aud if shoru somewhat of its dimensions it would be a welcome visitor to the con- cert hall. Mr. Colby played the organ part witn taste, and the composer condneted the orchestra in an en- tirely satisfactory manner, Such an arust and or- gunist should be heard more frequently, both as an executant and composer. EVENING. No concert has been previously given in Steinway Hall equal to that of last night. The programme speaks for itself—orchestra, introduction to third act of “Medea,” Ritter’s symphony, “Wellington's Victory,” with fall military band and drum corps, by Beetpoven; Seventh regiment band, overture to “‘Se- miramide” and a selection from “Robert le Diable;” piano, the Henselt concerto, played by J. N. Pat- tison; the “Marselllaise,” sung by Hill; two solos, by Rossini and Hoffman, beautifully sung by Mrs. Jenny Kempton, and the opening aria of the ‘“Miserere” scene from the “Trovatore,” sung in superb style, with orchestral accompaniment, by Mra. Marie Abbott. Of all these pieces we may select three for special remmark—namely, the Henseit concerto, the symphony and the Marseiliaise. We heard Mr. Pattison last night play this work for the second time and must say, for the sake of justice, that we do not remember hearing an artist in Steinway Hall since its opening make such a genuine sensation. The concerto is enormously dificult and requires TELEGRAPHIC NEWS ITEMS. ‘The Sitka and Pogus Indians are reported to be at war. : ‘The reported wrecking of the schooner Grow in Puget Sound ts incorrect.
