Few of the radical party managers open their mouths to speak or take up their pens to write of national affairs, but they dwell long and earnestly on the alleged usurpations of Andrew Johnson, and the imminent danger to our government and institutions that must follow the acquittal of the President in the pending impeachment trial. But while these conspirators against the constitu- tion are shouting “stop thief!” in the’ hue and cry against the President, under cover of the confusion and excitement they are gradually stealing away the liberties of the people that they may securely intrench themselves in the fastnesses of unending power. In the numerous council rooms of this city the various paths to the desired goal have been selected and examined, The obstacles that stand in the way, whether principles, men or laws, have been con sidered, marked, and ti®ir removal provided for. In tracing out these paths to ical success nearly all of them are discovered to converge at a pout where stands the most formidable obstruction io the accomplishment of their designs. Principles can be wal to almost any shape by party re tries; laws may be rendered nugatory by liberal construction; but men—especially men Who are afiicted with a reverence for the constitution—are not so easily dis) of when flattery, bribes and cajolery fail. Here, then, at the intersection of all the by-paths with the broad road to success, stands the great obstruction, Andrew Johnson. It is nerally conceded among them that the present incumbent of the Presidential chair must he removed. Uniess this is done the radical party will soon be called upon to bid a long farewell to ail its greatness. In order to secure the successful reconstruction of the unrepresented States it is necessary that large numbers of the whites be disfranchised, while all the negroes must be placed in full ‘ion of all the rights and privileges of citizenship, so that gt eas ing of the tuture State governments will be vested entirely in the negro inhabitants. The negroes have been educated ever since the John Brown raid to look to the republicanjparty as the natural protect- ors and defenders of their race, so that they may now be confidently counted upon to go very nearly solid for that party. But in order to put in operation the laws fired to effect this object, it was absolutely essential that Some legislation should be done without regard to the requirements of the constitution. When it was found necessary to ignore this su- Ppreme law of the land the scruples of the more eon- servative portion of the republican party were over- come by specious arguments asserting that the same necessity existed for dealing with the Southern States outside the constitution now asin the darkest erbocker, of Albany, and now engagea in the Commercial Advertiser with Thurlow Weed; J. C. Tweed, a broker of Wall street, New York; General Hancock, of the United States army: J. C. Bart, a leading speculator, now or ea of Cincinnati, Ohio; Judge Dunlevy, attorney to the “whiskey ring,’ and to these must be added W. 8. Groesbeck and W. M. Evarta, of the counsel for the President. To show the degree of intimacy existing between Wooley and the parties above hamed the committee have only to refer to the tel ms that have passed between several of them and Wooley, and the testi- mony of Wooley himself, of the parties who edd amar at Welcker’s on the Friday evening before e vote.

After referring to certain telegrams sent to Mr. Weed the report goes on:— Mr. Thurlow Weed’s relation to the high offices of the government and connection with all manner of operations not official are too well known to need de- scription to the House. Mr. E. D. Webster was for a long time connected with the State Department; is a contidential friend of the Secretary and of Mr. Weed of many years; was afterwards sent commissioner or commercial agent to England, and is now Deputy Surveyor of the Custom House in New York. Mr. Sheridan Shook is Collector of Internal Revenue of the Thirty-second district, New York city, a man of large reputed’ wealth, and whose appearance and answers before the com- mittee were such as not to enhance our opinion of his integrity or truthfulness. The ob- ject and purposes of the meeting are best given in the words of the witness who described it, Mr. Thur- low Weed, omitting the names of the Senators of whom he speaks. The following is his testimony on this point:— TESTIMONY OF THURLOW WEED, Q. I hold in my hand a tel from Charles Woolley, dated May 7, 1868, to Mr. Thurlow Weed, New York:—\'When wiil the Albany party be on hand for business? C, W. WooLLey, Wiilard’s Hotel.” A. ‘That is the telegram in reference to Hastings. Q. Did you understand this telegram when you re- ceived it? A. f understood no more than any! else would have understood from it; I understood that it asked when Hastings would be in Wash- ington. ‘the bulletins of a royal illness. Thurlow Weed appears to have been looked upon asthe great prime juggler, who could produce any ‘desired effect by a certain manipulation of the rings; but Thurlow, who never for a moment dreamt of be- ing dragged forward by Butler in this fashion to gra- tify the prurient curiosity of the public, preserved his self-possession and talked virtuously of the aversion his spirit felt to schemes of any kind. And all these rings, according to Butler’s showing, were operating in impeachment stock, while neither President nor Senators were conscious of the immense pecuniary results that were depending upon the fate of the one and the verdict of the other. Some say the rings never touched a solitary Senator that voted for acquit tal, but looked with a favorable eye upon those who voted for conviction. Before the vote of last Satur- day week the rings talked of buying Senators whose mames are synonymous for radicalism, if not for rectitude; and in an oppostte way it is maintained that some of the rings had jast as much interest in seeing conviction recorded, and that it was just as important to buy over votes to that side as to the other, It ig a very pretty business, and is in the hands of an accomplished artist in such matters, who will certainly spare no pains to make it the great hit of the impeachment season. Several democrats interrupted Butler while he was reading his report, but he disposed. of them in his usually polite and facetious manner. Brooks sug- gested for the blanks after Senators the names of Pomeroy, Tipton and Nye. Pomeroy is bound to be accorded a leading place among the Senators of sus- ceptible tendencies. Jehu Baker, a radical, made a speech of three minutes after Butler concluded, which contained a good deal of sense, -very emphatically ex pressed.and very audibly commended. He looked upon the whole of this ex parte investigation as a wanton outrage, without precedent as without justification, and he hoped, out of respect for the American cha- racter, that it would be allowed'to drop. Butler was heard to express a desire, after he heard this lan- guage, that Baker would take his departure for cer- tain tender but tofrid latitudes, Woolley, to whom so much of the report is devoted, ‘Was sentenced, on the strength of the document, to appear at the bar of the House to-morrow and answer the questions he refused to answer before. Mr. Woolley to-day prepared a lengthy statement in with ngress. On motion the Senate at five minutes before four o'clock adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. WASHINGTON, May 25, 1868. THE COLORED TROOPS, Mr. PHELPS, (dem.) of Md., introduced a bill for the reorganization of the United States colored troops for their instruction and colonization, which was referred to the Committee on Military A/fairs. PENSIONS. Mr. PAINE, (rep.) of Wis., introduced a bill to con- strue an act entitled “An act supplementary to the several Pension acts,” which was referred to the Committee on Pensions. THE INDIANS. Mr. WINDoM, (rep,.) of Minn., introduced ‘a bill to carry out certain treaty stipulations with the Creek tribe of Indians, which was referred to the Commit- tee on Indian Affairs. LEGALIZING@ PROCLAMATIONS OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN. Mr. SITGREAVES, (dem.) of N. J., offered a pream- ble reciting that Congress has passed a law legal- izing all proclamations and orders of the President from the 4th of March, 1861, to July 1, 1866, &c., and concluding with a resolution that ‘the Committee on the Judiciary be instructed to inquire into the expe- diency of ‘sporting @ Joint resolution authorizing the appointment of a commission, or court of inquiry, into the causes of arrests of citizens in every case ther denies that he jacec any money to Wooley’s credit at Gillis, Harney & Co.'s, as the a directed. Yet the committee find, from the testimony of Wooley himself, that $10,000 were laced to his credit with that banking house in New ‘ork, inst which he drew and received the $10,000 in the bille of $1,000 each from the First National Bank tn this city ina ba or two after the telegram. As showing that thi according to the telegram, we find that E. D. Webster, his associate, despatched a telegra the same night from Williams to Shook, sa i “AL it, your answer has been re- ved.” Contemporary with the procurement of this money by. Wooley, we find — the despatches, heretofore recited, of the 7th of from Wooley to Weed, asking “When will the Albany party be on hang for business ?’’ are the saime words, which mean “procuring votes for acquittal pur- -chase,” and is the same word, “business”?
