On Saturday last, in the course of the after
noon, there was . considerable furry among
the gold gamblers Of Wall street, and gold was
advanced in some cases to 1856, in consequence
Of rumors Of movement on foot in Congress
for the Presidents impeachment. These
rumors were not without some foundation in
facts, for il was generally understood that on
Monday (to-day) Mr.. Ashley, of Ohio, intended
to introduce his threatened impeachment reso-
lutions, and it was known that there was oon-
siderable number of the radicals, II not
majority of the House, in favor Of this extreme
proceeding right through to the Presidents
removal The debate of Saturday in the
House, chiefly between Mr.. Stevens, Of Penn
sylvania, and Mr.. Spalding, Of Ohio, on the
scope and intent Of the pending constitutional
amendment the status Of the rebel States, the
duty and policy Of Congress, the position Of
the President and the Secretary Of the Trea-
sury, &C., wsssharp and interesting, the gene
raj argument being, on the part Of Spslding,
in favor Of the policy Of moderation towards the
President, and in behalf OF the amendment a.
the ultimatum Of the North for Southern restO-
ration; and on the part Of Stevens in favor Of
more stringent and decisive measures both in
regard to the administration and the rebel
States.
This pungent debate of Saturday was fol-
lowed in the evening by republican caucus
of the House, in which Stevens and Spalding
again came into collision. and in which "Old
Thad" was fairly vanquished. Mr.. Spalding
opened the proceedings with = resolution that
no measure looking TO the impeachment Of tle
President Of the United States should be pre-
sented in the House, unless previously agreed
upon In caucus. This proposition was next
amended by providing that before aas! action
in caucus on tho subject, It shall bs submitted
to the consideration Of the judiciary Com
mittee. Next, on motion Of Mr. Ashley Of
Ohio, 1t vas agreed that no article Of impeach-
ment should be preferred without being arst
approved in caucus. Az the proposition then
stood, the caucus was TO be subject to the Ju-
dietary Committee, and the committee and the
House were TO be subject TO caucus. At this
point Mr.. Stevens moved to lay the whole busl-
ness upon the tsble-a motion which, II adopted,
