'l'HK AUT1C1.ES OP IMPEACHMENT.
The vote baa been taken on the eleventh
article which, by common consent, seems to
embrace the head and front of the Presi-
dent’s offending—his attack on the rump
conspiracy to defeat the Tenure of Office
Act, criminal intention, &o., Ac.,—resulting
in an acquittal of the President on that ar
ticle. The Court having adjourned, and as
it will be some two weeks before the final
judgment will be known, we give the follow
ing synopsis of the several charges contained
in the indictment that our readers may form
their own opinions as to the probabilities of
conviction or acquittal in the articles yet to
be voted on. It seems to us that the eleventh
article comprises the gist of the whole pro
ceeding against the President, and that fail
ing to find his guilty on that article, there is
hardly a probability of a two-thirds vote in
favor of conviclion belDg obtained on any
other article in the bill of indictment.
The substance of the articles is as follows:
Article I. That tbe President Issued an
order to remove Secretary Stanton, with in
tent to violate the Tcnure-ot-Offlce Act.
Article II. That he by letter authorized
Lorenzo Thomas to act as Secretary .of War
aj interim, when there was no vacancy in
tnat office, with intent to violate the same
Article III. That he so authorized Thomas
to act as Secretary, with intent to violate the
Constitution of the United States.
Article IV. That he conspired with Lo
renzo Tnomas and others, by intimidations
and threats to hinder Mr. Stanton from hold
ing his office a9 Secretary of War, thus vio
lating the Constitution aod the conspiracy
act of July 31st, 1861, thus committing a
high crime in office.
Aiticle V, That be conspired with Lorenzo
Thomas, and other persons unknown, to pre
vent the execution of the Tenure-of Office act;
and, in pursuance of this conspiracy, attempt
ed to prevent Mr. Stanton from holding his
office of Secretary of War, thus committing
a high misdemeanor in office.
Article VI. That he conspired with Lo
renzo Thomas to seize by force the War De
partment, contrary lo the Conspiracy act,
and with intent to violate the Tenure-of-
Office act, thus committing a high crime in
office.
Article VII. That he conspired with Lo
renzo Thomas to seize by force the War
Department, with intent to violate the Ten-
ure-of-Office act; thus commixing a high
misdemeanor in office.
Article VIII. That he delivered to Lo
renzo Thomas a letter of authority to act
as Secretary of War ad interim, with intent
unlawfully to control the military appro
priations, in violation of the Constitution
and of the Tenure-of-Offlce act; and so
committing a high misdemeanor of office.
Article IX. Tnat on February' 22d last he
instructed Major General Emory that that
part of the Appropriation act of March 2,
1807, which provides that all orders of the
President and War Department relating to
military operations shall be issued through
tbe General of the army, was unconstitution
al. and tried to induce Emory to violate it, by
receiving orders directly from the Presi
dent; with the further intent tn prevent the
execution of the Tenure-of Office act, and
to prevent Mr. Stanton from holding the
office of Secretary of War.
Article X. That he delivered inflam
matory and scandalous harangues, at various
times, to briDg contempt upon Congress.
In this charge, Specification first quotes a
speech at Washington, August 18tn, 1866;
about a body “hanging on the verge of the
government."
Specification second: The Cleveland
speech of September 3d, 1866—“Your Con
gress that is trying to break up the govern
ment,"etc.
Specification third : The St. Louis speech
of September 8, 1866—“If I have played
the Judas, who has been my Christ that I
nave played the Judas with't Was it Thad.
Stevens? Was it Wendell Phillips?" &c.
These speeches are charged as a high mis
demeanor in office.
Article XL That he declared in a public
speech in Washington, August 18, 1866, that
the Thirty-ninth Congress was not a consti
tutional CoDgress of the United States, but
a Congress of part of the States; thus deny
ing the validity of their legislation, except
so far as he chose to approve it; and, in pur
suance of this declaration, attempted to pre
vent the execution of the Tenure-of-Office
act, by unlawfully contriving means of pre
venting Edwin M. Stanton from resuming
the office of Secretary of War, when the
Senate had refused to concur in his suspe n-
sion; and also attempted to prevent the exe
cution of the Appropriation act of March 2,
1867 (as in Article 9); and also of tbe act of
MarchS, 1867, “for the more efficient gov
ernment of the rebel States thus commit
ting a high misdemeanor in office.
THE IMPEACHMENT COLLAPSE.
The despatch announcing the acquittal of
the President on the eleventh article of the
Impeachment indictment reached us on Satur
day, about one o’clock. It was placed upon
our bulletin board, and was read by numbers
of our citizens, but created no unusual excite
ment. The insufficiency of the evidence to
sustain the charges against the President, the
lameness of the partizan appeals of the irn-
peachers, and the reports of the proceedings of
the Court during the last few days, had pre
pared the public mind for either an outrageous
and illegal conviction or a just acquittal. Iu the
former they were disappointed—by the latter
they were as much surprised as gratified. Sur
prised at the defeat of the unscrupulous con
spirators, and gratified at the proof that there
is still some virtue left in the American Senate.
Tbe defeat of the impeachers on the
eleventh) article, which in reality embraces
tbe substance of tbe material charges against
the President, may be considered conclusive
before the Court as at preaent organized.
That the eleventh article was considered
their strongest and test article is clear
not only from the outside efforts made to in
duce Senators to pledge themselves to sus
tain that particular article on the vote, but
also by the interpretation given to it by Chief
Justice Chase, who, in explaining to tbe
Court the manner in which he would put the
question on the articles, says :
‘The gravamen of the article seems lo be
that the President attempted to defeat the
execution of the Tenure-of-Offlce act, and
that he did this in pursuance of a declaration
which was intended to deny the constitu
tional competency of Congress to enact laws
or propose constitutional amendments, and
by contriving means to prevent Mr. Stanton

General Grant on the Test Oath . —Ac -
cording to a Washington telegram in the
Hew York Herald, General Grant has in
structed General Meade that the oath pre
scribed by the reconstruction acts to be taken
by all persons “elected or appointed” to of
fice in the “so-called States" of the South is
not to be taken by those elected under any
new Constitution which may be adopted un
less the Constitution so provides. This is
the ODly conclusion at which any fair-mind-
td man could arrive, aod we were surprised
when it was announced that General Meade
had decided to apply the iron-clad' t>ath to
members of the Georgia Legislature just
elected.
from resuming his office of Secretary, aud
also to prevent the execution of the Appro
priation act, and the Rebel States Govern
ment act. The single substantive matter
charged is the attempt to prevent the execu
tion of tbe Tenure-of-Offlce act,aud tbe other
facts alleged, either as introductory and ex
hibiting this general purpose, or showing the
means contrived in fut theraoepjof that attempt*
This single matter connected with the other
matters previously and subsequently alleged,
is charged as the high misdemeanor of which
the President is alleged to have been guilty.
The general question, ‘gnilly or not gnilty
of high misdemeanor.’ us charged, seems
fully to cover the charge, and will be put to
this article as well as to the others, to the
Senate direct.
The old man malignant, Thad. Stevens, it
is known, has rested his hopes of conviction
on the eleventh article,and the Radical papers
have united in rallying the Radical strength
in the Senate on that article. The fol
lowing telegram la a specimen of the pres
sure which has been brought to bear in sup
port of the eleventh article:
St. Louis, May 18.
To Hon J. B. Henderson :
There is an intense excitement here.
Meeting called for to-morrow night. Can
your friends hope that you will vote for the
eleventh article? If so, all will be well.
(Signed) E. W. Fox.
To which Senator Henderson replied :
Washington, D. C., May 18.
To E. W. Fox, St. Louis :
Say to my friends that I am sworn to im
partial justice according to law and the ev
idence, and I will try to do it like an honest
man.
(Signed) J. B. Henderson.
The stern old Senator made his words
good, and with the Democrats and six other
Republicans redeemed the Senate from utter
disgrace.
Impeachment then, by its own merits,
by the principles of justice, and tbe forms
of law, is dead in tbe present High Court.
If a verdict against the President could not
be obtained on the eleventh article, it can
not be obtained on any of the other articles
in the bill of indictment.
It remains however to be seen to what
new device the conspirators may resort for
the purpose of consummating their treason
able and infamous purpose. Already as we
learn from our dispatches the floase has
passed resolutions virtually impeaching the
integrity of the Senate, and looking to the
introduction of new evidence, and perhaps
new charges against the President. New
powers are given to the Managers, new com
mittees are to be appointed, the political ins
flnence of the Chicago Convention is to be
brought to bear npon the recusant Senators,
and millions more of tbe people’s money
are to be spent to enable them to reek their
vengeance upon the man who has oppos
ed their lawless and revolutionary course.
Even before the vote was taken, con
scious of their growing weakness aud fear
ing defeat, some of the more unscrupulous
leaders had conceived the idea of admitting
Senators from the Southern States to vote on
the President’Sjtrial. Forney-Stevens* organ,
in his paper of Wednesday last, makes this
bold insult to decency: ”
Now, if the nation, in this, her hour of ex
tremity, needs loyal votes in the Senate, let the
loyal majority admit at once the Senators from
the newly reconstructed and regenerated State
of Arkansas. They are standing waiting at the
door. It is a superfluous caution that keept
them out. Bring in, too, if there is need of
them, patriot Senators from Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana and the C&rolinas. * * *
If the country needs them, or if there is a
risk that she made need them, let the loyal
Senators from the States we have made loyal
by the sword and the cost of the nations best
blood, come in.
Williams, it^was decided by a vote of 84 to
19 to vote on the 11th article first, Messrs.
Ross, of Kansas, and Willy, of West Vir
ginia, voting in favor of acquittal. Wade
voted in the affirmative.
This vote is considered as conclusive of
acquittal, as it shows only a strength of 34
for conviction.
Tbe vote on the eleventh article stood 34
to 10. Ross, a doubtful Senator, voted nay,
thus saving the day for the President.
Chase declared the President acquitted on
the eleventh article, which was ordered to
be read first.
A motion to adjourn to the 26th was de
clared out of order. An appeal wa9 sus
tained, when Henderson, of Missouri, moved
to adjourn till July. While this was pend
ing. the conrt adjourned to tbe 26tb.
g^Wade voted throughout the day.
[8ECOND DISPATCH ]
The Court opeued at 12 o’clock with al|
the Senators present The Republican Sen
ators voting against the calling of the 11th
article first were Messrs. Fessenden, Fow
ler, Henderson, Ross, Trumbull, Van Win
kle and Willy. On this, question Wade
voted for the first time during tbe trial.
Chief Justice Chase, after admonishing
the people to quietness, ordered the Clerk to
read the 11th article, when questions were
propounded in terms agreed upon. Those
voting not guilty were: Bayard. Buckalew,
Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Fessenden, Fowler,
Grimes, Hendereoo, Hendricks, Johnson,
McCreery, Norton, Patterson of Tenn.. Ross,
Saulsbury, Trumbull, Van Winkle, Vickers
— 19.
Williams moved fifteen minutes recess,
which was negatived, when he moved an ad
journment to the 26th.
Johnson suggested the announcement of
the vote.
Chase said he would not aunounce the
vote until taken on all articles unless the Sen
ate ordered otherwise.
Drake raised tbe point that nothing was
in order pending a motion to adjourn.
Henderson said that the motion to adjourn
was not in order while tbe call was pending.
Chase sustained the last point, und direct
ed the Secretary to read the roil, which be
ing read tbe Chief Justice stated that there
were 85 votes for guilty and 19 for not gnilty,
and that the President was therefore acquit
ted on tbe eleventh article.
Chase then stated that the Senate wa9 now
io process ot carrying out the order to pro
ceed to vote upon articles of impeachment,
and no motion was now in order while that
was pending.
Conness appealed. The appeal was sus
tained by a vote of thirty to twenty-four.
Then by a vote of thirty-two to twenty-one
the Court adjourned to tbe 26th. Wade re
sumed the Cnair, aud after a long debate the
joint resolntion adjourning to the 2G.h was
negatived, and the Senate adjourned as
usual.
In the Senate the Judiciary Committee re
ported without amendment the House bill
admitting Arkansas. It lies over.
The Omnibus Admission bill from the
House was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee.
The House refused to entertain a resolu
tion appointing a committee of inquiry on
the conduct ot the Missouri delegation by a
vote of 28 to 82.
Private bills were resumed.
A resolution that for the farther and more
efficient prosecution of tbe impeachment of
the President, the Managers be directed aDd
instructed to summon and examine witness
es under oath, to send for persons and pa
pers, to employ a stenographer and to ap
point sub committees to take testimony, the
expenses thereof to be paid from tbe Con
tingent Fand of the House, was adopted.
Adjourned to Monday.
Muudbr.—A negro man named Dick, kill

’ Xis said that Forney has resigned his|Sec-
zetaiyship of the Senate. Tbe telegraph at
tributes it to his laudable desire to abuse
Sinatora ad libitum. But some folk9 thinks
tbe resignation has been induced by a little
matter of $40,000.
Where the President, says tbe New York
World, seems to have most lamentably failed
was in his mode of suspending Stanton.
There was one way of suspending tbe nuis
ance, in which the President might have
found the whole nation with a(c)cord at his
call. Johnson ought to have made of it a
case of neck or nothing.
There are now 347 students in the Geor

must be highly gratifying to every Geor
gian.
Sergeant Bates, it is reported, being

New England States without money is equiv

through that region with money he ran a
great risk of being robbed on the way.

Election Returns.—It is now pretty
generally conceded that “Reed and the Con
stitution" have won the day in this State.
As to the complexion of the Legislature, we
are disposed to believe that the Radicals
will have a very small, if any, majority on
joint ballot. The Radicals now claim the
Billings men elected as “Republicans,"
when, a few days ago, they were their
bitterest enemies; aod it is this intense feel
ing of hatred between the two wings ol
the party that will undoubtedly cause the
Billings faction to vote with the Con
servatives in tbe Legislature. Hence we
say the Reed parly will have a very small
majority, if, indeed, they have a majority at
all—Tallahassee Sentinel.

Is Savannah a Way Station 2
Editor$ tfew* and Herald:
I read an article addressed “To the Mer
chants,” in the Savannah Republican of Friday,
15th inst., which makes me think it is time the
merchants of Savannah should know where the
terminus of the Central Railroad is. It is stated
that the railroad and steamboat combination
fix it at New York, Savannah being only a
way depot between that city and the W»tst. As
a Savannah man and stockholder in the Cen
tral Railroad, I think the President of the
Central Railroad should let us know why this
discrimination exists and to what ctxtent it
goes.
One of our largest jobbing merchants told
me that before this discrimination was made,
fifty per cent, of his sales of goods vras made
to Macon aud points beyond; but sinco then he
has npt sold one per cent, of his present sales
to those poihts. The Central Railroad is so
discriminating in through freights from New
Yqrk, that his customers make their purchases
Norths and this I find to b6 the experience of
all parties selling goods in Savannabt. Some
thing must be done to redress this injury, ot
the assertion of tbe railroad and steamboat
merely a way
to oar
combination, that *‘Savannah
