.. All the American correspondents of the English, papers think,
even as late as the 8th inst., that .the impeachment is hardly seriously intended, and will come to nothing. But the Michigan Legislature had passed resolutions concurring in the impeachment, and thanking Congress for passing the District of Columbia Suffrage Bill over the veto, and we suspect that even the Daily News' correspondent, who is almost always right, underrates this time the strength of the popular conviction that it is becoming an imperative necessity to get rid of Mr. Johnson. The party who propose to impeach him accuse him of personal corruption, of receiving bribes for some of the places he has given. This, if it can be proved by any respectable evidence, is alone of course more than enough to render his removal essential. But we confess our- selves incredulous of personal corruption in Mr. Johnson. His political passions and partizanships run too high for that.
