ever, that a strong “ring’” operated to defeat the 
President's conviction, and that money was contrib¬ 
uted to secure that end, 8. 8. Cox swore that he 
•was offered a fee to engage in the work of “ buying" 
Senators, but declined to enter into such negotia¬ 
tions, It is alleged that he did nevertheless act with 
the “ring” to a certain extent. 
The man who appears to have had the handling of 
most of the funds supposed to have been used for 
improper purposes is one Woolley. He has per¬ 
sistently refused to tell the Managers all he knows 
about the use of certain moneys known to have been 
placed to bis credit, and his refusal is looked upon 
as a confession that these moneys were corruptly 
employed. Hois imprisoned in the old Capitol, and 
prohibited from communicating with others than 
his family and physician, but shows no signs of 
acceding to the wishes of the Managers and making 
a free statement. He is well cared for in his confine¬ 
ment, and expresses his intention to remain there os 
“ a regular boarder.” 
Consequent upon the result of the Trial, is the 
retirement of Mr, 8tanton from the office of Secre¬ 
tary of War. He turned over his portfolio to Gen. 
Townsend, Assistant Adjutant-General, last week, 
and informed the President of such action. The nomi¬ 
nation of Gen. Schofield to that position, which was 
made Eome weeks since by the President, remained 
unnoticed by the Senate until Wednesday, and was 
discussed for the first time on Thursday. Objection 
was made to its phraseology, and it finally went 
over. On Saturday jt was again taken up and there 
was sd exciting debate on the resolution to confirm, 
the chief question being about thepreamble, whether 
it should read that Secretary Stanton was removed 
or not. The preamble and resolution were finally 
modified so as to declare the order of the President 
removing Mr. Stanton unconstitutional, but advis¬ 
ing and consenting to Gen. Schofield’s appointment 
on account of Mr. Stanton’s having relinquished the 
position. Gen. 8cbofleld took possession of the 
War Office on Monday morning, and was subse¬ 
quently called upon by Gen. Grant. 
Mr. Asbley of Ohio, has introduced in the House 
a joint-resolution proposing an amendment to the 
Constitution of the United States providing that a 
President shall cot be eligible for a re-election, and 
that, the office of Vice-President shall be abolished, 
and for a thorough revision of the mode of electing 
the President. 
General Grant and Speaker Colfax will, it is an¬ 
nounced, start about the first of July for Colorado. 
They expect to begone about two months, and their 
trip 3s solely for the purpose of recuperating their 
health. • 
The medal ordered by Congress for George Pea¬ 
body, in consideration of his munificent gift to the 
South, is completed. It is three inches in diameter 
and half an inch thick, and bears an appropriate 
inscription. 
A concurrent resolution has been offered in the 
Senate by Mr. Cotkling, providing for the adjourn¬ 
ment of Congress on the 13th inst. It is thought, 
the session will necessarily be protracted later. 
The tax bill is the main thing in the way of an early 
adjournment. 
On Friday afternoon the Committee of the Sol¬ 
diers’ and Bailors’ Convention which lately assem¬ 
bled in Chicago, waited upon Gen. G-rant at the 
Army Headquarters, and presented him with a 
copy of the platform of principles of their Convention. 
The General replied in a brief speech, and the 
Committee then proceeded to the Capitol and waited 
upon Speaker Colfaxiu a similar manner, expressing 
through Gen. A]Inman their confidence 5u him as 
candidate for the Vice-Presidency. On Friday even¬ 
ing the Committee of the Republican National Con¬ 
vention appointed to notify General Grant and 
Speaker Colfax of their nominations, performed 
that duty at the residence of General Grant. Gen. 
Hawley, President of the Convention, delivered an 
address to each of the candidates, to which each 
briefly responded, accepting the nomination ten¬ 
dered, and pledging faithfulness to all trusts which 
might be reposed in them by the people. 
Brigham Young is said to be setting one hundred 
and fifty acres in mulberry trees, and the faithful are 
about to follow bis example. The slopes and hills of 
Central Utah are particularly well adapted to 6ilk 
growing, and the characteristic energy of the Mor¬ 
mons will soon make it a large interest 
The waters of Lake Michigan are capricious. The 
level of the lake lately rose four feet in five minutes 
at Racine, and in five minutes more it had sunk six 
feet. No cause is assigned for the phenomenon. 
A letter from Fott Lyon, Colorado, says: The 
celebrated Kit Carson died at this poBt on the 23d 
inst., from the effects of a rupture of an artery in the 
neck. 
The town of Kino on the Central Pacific Railroad, 
near Virginia city, only laid out this month, already 
contains 100 houses and 500 inhabitants. 
The Supreme Court of Ohio on Friday evening de¬ 
cided the Visible Admixture bill, passed by the last 
Legislature, to be unconstitutional. This bill pre¬ 
vented from voting in the State ail persons who had 
a visible admixture ol African blood in their veins. 
An important treaty between the United States 
Government and the chief counselors, warriors and

Galveston Railroad purchase, the remaining lands 
owned by the Ot-ages in Kansas, including their 
trust land, amounting in all to about S,000,000 acres. 
By thi6 cession the annuities to the Indians are large¬ 
ly increased, and abundant provision is made for the 
settlement of their new home in the Indian Territory.

died in that city on tbe 25th ult., aged about eighty 
years. He inherited the vast estates of the original 
Patroon, in the vicinity of Albany, and retained a 
good share of tbe property in bis possession until tbe 
time of his death. Most of his land was leased to 
farmers on condition of the annual payment of cer¬ 
tain products of the land, and he held a sort of feudal 
tenure over the property and tenants, which was ex¬ 
ceedingly galling to the settlers on the land; and

very frequent, causing the disturbances known as

Monet continues easy in all the great commercial centers, 
and rates of interest are lower than reported last week. In 
New York at the close of last week it was freely offered at 4 
percent, on Gov’cnruieote,and 5 per cent, on stocks. For 
prime commercial paper the rate ranges from 5* to 6X per 
cent., according to lime. 
Gold sold yeatefday at 139V- The exports of specie continne 
large The total amount shipped for the week was $1,'350,000, 
Flve-lwenlies are higher In London, and sold last week at. 
72\- Government securities are strong and higher this side. 
Trade of all kinds at the east is dull and unsatisfactory. 
In dry goods, last week was tbe dullest of the season. This 
may in part be owing to the weather, it having been con¬ 
stantly rainy and unpleasant. 
Wool.— There is a rather better feeling reported in tbe 
eastern wool market, though sales are not materially larger, 
nor any advance In prices. Consumer- expect this year’s 
clip to be late, and are therefore a little more anxious to get 
a supply from present stocks. The sales in Boston last week 
loot up CIS,000 lbs. 
Wiikat and Flopb.— The markets east and west are dull, 
and prices are lower. The receipts at western shipping 
points have recently been quite liberal. The favorable pros- 
pecte of the growing crop have Induced farmers to dispose of 
stocks on hand.

the appetite for to bacco in any person, no matter how strong 
the habit may be. fST Iv it fails in an y cams the money

from t tie nse of tobacco by the mere exercise of the will. 
Something i« needl'd to assist nature In overcoming a habit 
so firmly rooted; with the help of the Preparation there i» 
not tlic least trouble. Hundreds have used it who arc will¬

Preparation acts directly upon the same glands and secre¬

cordance with the j order recently issued by the

The Impeachment Trial of President Johnson 
was finally terminated on Tuesday of last week, by 
a vote on the first and second charges contained in 
the indictment against, him—the result being thirty- 
five for conviction and nineteen for acquittal. A 
strong efibrt was made to postpone further voting, 
but a majority ol the Senators thought best to have 
the matter wholly disposed of. There was conipar 
atively little interest manifested in the final vote, 
the President’s acquittal being generally conceded. 
Intense feeling was shown, among Republicans 
against those Senators who voted for acquittal, and 
charges of treachery and bribery were freely made. 
Senators Fowler, Trumbull, Grimes, Ross and Hen¬ 
derson were held responsible by their party for the 
unsatisfactory result of the Trial. 
Much of the evidence elicited by the Managers in 
the Corruption Investigation, has been made public. 
It seemB very damaging to the characters of the Sen¬ 
ators named, though it fails to directly substantiate 
the charges of bribery made. It- goes to prove, ho w-

to no remedy or treatment, and is fatal in every 
instance. Its name and nature have not yet been 
determined.

By the latest advices from 
Hayti we learn that Salnave’s troops had beaten the 
rebels back of Port au Prince on the 14th, hut were 
in turn beaten by the rebels on the Ifith. The 
British man-of-war Royalist had got aground after 
releasing the imprisoned foreigners. The United 
States man-of-war De Soto had sailed for Key West 
against the protestations of the American Minister. 
Salnave had threatened to burn the town if the rebels 
defeat him, but it is supposed the American Minister, 
with the aid of the British gunboats, will prevent it.
