Investig CATION OF the Cotton Frsuds-PRr-
ties High In Authority ImpeRohed.
The Retrenchment Committee, which Is now
holding SIS sessions in this city, has been busily
engaged investigating the cotton frauds. The
investigation has the effect OF duplicating parties
occupying high and influential positions under
the Government with these frauds. Tue Commit
tee has made some astonishing Developments in
this regard. A great deal OF frald, more than at
FIRST supposed has been practised upon the Gov
ernment and citizens Of the South by the cotton
agents. II appears that these agents were in
the habit Of condscating large quantities of cot
ton i'm the name of the Government and after II
had remained in their hands for a short time
they would turn It over 10 an outside party, who
sold IL and divided the proceeds with the agents.
Another game which was resorted to oextensively
by these men was to release the cotton upon the
payment of a handsome bonus. The Committee
viii continue their investigation of this matter
several days. Large numbers of witnesses have
been called here from different sections of the
country to testify in relation to these frauds.
The Committee will meet again tomorrow.
The Impeachment of the President.
We have a report here that prominent politi-
clans had meeting in Philadelphia on the goth
instant, at which articles oflmpeachment against
the President we're prepared. They are to be
submitted to a caucus Of Republican members
Of Congress. The names of the parties attend

The Conservatives and the Amendment.
Tue Conservatives Army and Navy Union, at
Their meeting last night, after a warm discus
sion, passed, by two-thirds vote, series OF
resolutions declaring that the propose Constitu
tonal amendment should be rejected, and that,
in the judgment of that organization it is clearly

the country to appeal to the Northern and
Southern States to extend suffrage to the negro
