impeachment.

From Mondays Congressional pro-
ceedings we learn that Mr.. Boutwell,
presented tie majority report of the
Judiciary Committee, recommending
the impeachment of President John
son. The Clerk read the minority re-
port for half an hour, and
its further reading was then dispensed
with. The majority report was then
read, which declares that it is the opin-
ion of the Committee that President
johnson is guilty of high crimes and
misdemeanors which requires the in
terposition Of the constitutional power
of the House. Mr.. Wilson, of Iowa,
presented the minority report, declar-
ing that President johnson is not gull
ty of the above named offences. The
whole subject was then postponed un-
til to-day.

me ConsoIIdated Five Per
Cent Bonds.

A Washington despatch states that
Mr.. John Sherman, Chairman of the
Finance Committee OF. the Senate, has
in preparation a bill which authorizes
the issues of a new bond, OF consol,
having thirty years to run, bearing SIX
per cent interest, and taxable by the
United States at a rate not exceeding
one per cent. This implies a consolida-
ton of the national debt, now existing
IN a variety Of forms into one uniform
bond, having a sufficiently long time to
invite investments, and upon its face
containing a final determination OF the
question Of taxation. The incertitude
which surrounds that point now, mill
tates against the value of our bonds. A
five per cent bond declared upon its
face to be exempt forever from taxa
ton, would be preferred by persons
seeking a permanent investment to a
six per CEN bond, subject az the caprice
of the government, to be taxed. The
United States are now paying varied
rates of interest, FIVE per cent payable
in gold, six per cent payable in gold.
and six per cents and even and three
tenthS per cent in paper. A portion of
the principal of this debt is payable in
gold, another portion is payable in
lawful money" and the rest is in dis
pute as to whether it is to be redeemed
in gold or as the government may elect.
A debt thus ~variously represented offers
to the ~demsgogue so many opportuni-
ties for assault without extending to
reputation, that the value of the
securities must remain impaired until
the character of the debt shall be
authoritatively determined, and all
questions affecting its value put al rest.
The proposition of Mr.. Sherman is
based upon the right principle. A six
per cent, paying from its interest cou-
pons one per cent tax, is equivalent to
a five per cent bond. A FIVE per cent
bond, having thirty years to run, in
terest and principal payable in gold,
with its liability to taxation fixed, will
be a better investment than the pres
ent bonds. because all questions touch
ing their value Will be settled and no
room left for discussion as to when,
how, or in what kind of money they
are to be redeemed.

Congress and the Finances.

Washington dispatches state that
the feeling in the House, especially
among the western members, is very
strong against any further contraction.
Several resolutions are ready for pre-
sentation taking away the power of the
Secretary to contract $4,000, 900 q
month. Such a resolution, it is thought,
will pass the House by 2 large MAORI
~, but 1t is not expected that it can
get beyond the Senate's finance Com
mittee until after McCulloch's report
has been received. Senator Sherman
is at work on a financial measure, but
II is not yet perfected, and he also de-
sires delay TIL the information contain
ed IN the annual report is before Con-
gress. He recommends that instead of
passing a single resolution taking away
the authority to contract from the
Secretary, Il would be better for the
Ways snd Means Committee of the
House and the finance Committee of
the Senate to call Jointly on Mr.. McCul-
loch and request him TO give public no
tee that he viii make no further con-
traction until Congress can mature a
complete set of financial measures. To
this request, he seems 10 think, the
Secretary would accede. 1t is also
known that Mr.. McCulloch is very
anxious that Congress shall take no &C
ton until his own reports, together
with those Of Messrs. Rollins & Wells,
are before them. He will present his
own views in an argument OF %considera-
bic length, and whatever course Con-
gress viii adopt, he deems it important
that action should be had upon the
financial question as q whole, and not
of a series of patchwork.

How They Did 1t.

Fernando Wood, the big shark
of the muddy pool of the New
York city Democracy, and the
leader of the Mozart wing of that par
ty, in a speech made recently exposes
the shortcomings of the Tammany
Democracy, by which revelation the
rest of mankind can judge of the hon
est manner in which that city is made
to pile up ronstrous copperhead ma
iorities-by importing thieves, eet.-
But here is what Wood says, and he
being a Democrat, it cannot be said to
be a Republican fabrication. The viz
tuous Fernando Indignantly says:
al charge that at the late election
the Tammany Hall organization i'm
ported thieves from Philadelphia to
vote their ticket; that these thieves
were organized in different wards of
the city, and that bands Of them voted
in more than sixteen wards and in
more than u hundred and twenty
five electoral districts. Cheers. =
More than that 1t is known that sew
eral of the inspectors of election, after
receiving the ballot from the voter,
substituted another ballot and then de-
posted it in the box"
On the other hand it is charged that
thousands of the Wood wing of
the Democracy registered themselves
under different names in differ
ert wards, aud voted in each
place. One nshman who registered
as Murray, gave his nsme, when h.
came to vote, as Murphy. and was
forced to admit that ne had forgotten
the name. In the South, where the
blacks were registered as voters for the
elections just passed, when some IN
fortunate darkey could not remember
the name under which he had registered
the Northern copperhead papers cited
such instance as evidence of the in
competency of the voter For the
black there was this apology. that he
had never had a surname, but was
known by the simple sobriquet of
Tom, Jim, Sam or Dick; while the
Irishmar used an alias for the purpose
of perpetrating a fraud against the
laws of the country, and to override
its legitimate voters. For these rabid,
roaring r~ascals, who have hardly been
in the country long enough to be free
from the scent of the salt water, the
Democrats have the most unbounded
Partially. 1t is of such stuff that the
party is mainly recruited, while nine
teen-twentieths of the native voters
are in the ranks Of the Republican
party.

Congress.

Pursuant to the July adjournment,
both Houses of Congress reassembled
on Thursday last. Nearly all the Sena-
tors were present. Senator Wade, who
had recently been thrown from a bug
Q in Ashtabula county, and sustained
some injuries, wss on hand, bearing a
mark of his disaster in the shape of a
cut on his head, done up in several
inches of court plaster. Coy. Morton,
of Indiana, although in feeble health,
was present. There were nine Senators
absent. As soon as the journal was
read, Senator Sumner presented a petit
ton setting forth that the petitioners,
$50 colored men, had been discharged
from employment in the District of
Columbia, for having voted the Radical
ticket. They asked for relief. The
subject was referred to the Committee
on the District. NJ. S. also presented
a bill allowing colored men to hold
Office in the District. A law allowing
them this privilege was passed by both
Houses during the closing hours of last
session, but johnson pocketed it, thus
defeating it. a resolution calling for
facts and figures in possession Of the
Secretary of the Treasury on the repeal
of the cotton tax, was adopted.
Mr.. Edmunds introduced a joint
resolution declaring the faith of the
Government pledged to the redemption
of all the public debt in coin, except
where otherwise stipulated in the loan.
He said he wished it to lie upon the
table for the present, but should ask its
early consideration, and hoped the Sen
ate would pass it with entire unanimity.
Nothing more was said on the subject,
and the resolution lies upon the table
and may be called up at any time.
After a session of half an hour the
Senate adjourned.
In the House the Democrats throug'
Brooks, of New York, and Eldridge, of
Wisconsin, objected to the newly elect
ed Tennessee delegation being sworn in
on the ground that some of them were
disloyal. This was regarded as a mere
display of copperhead buncombe, IS
Brooks had at previous sessions denied
the right of Congress to exclude South
ern members. A running debate fol-
lowed for three hours, when the House
finally voted to admit all the delegs
ton but Butler of the First Tennessee
District, whose credentials were refer
red to the Committee on Elections for
investigation into the charge of disloy-
atty preferred against him. The rest of
the delegation were sworn in.
Mr.. Robinson, of New York, closed
the days proceedings with an hours
speech, on q resolution which he offer
ed for the impeachment and trial of
Minister Adams for his alleged neglect
to look>after the interests of American
citizens on trial in England. No one
supposes that it will pass.
Both Houses adjourned until Mon
day, in order, as is stated, to afford the
President of the Senate and Speaker of
the House to organize the several Stand
ing Committees.

NIhe western and northern
portions of Missouri and Kansas
are still suffering severe devastation
from the burning prairies. In many
instances whole farms have been de
stroyed. Along the route of the Hi
nois Central railroad for a distance of
a hundred miles the prairies are ablaze;
and in Union county, Illinois, the
flames have communicated with the
woods which are now burning. A gen.
eral fall of rain is anxiously looked for
as the only means of aifording relief.

General sherman on Paying
the National Debt.

Quite recently General Sherman de-
livered an address before the Society oil
the Army of the Tennessee, fixes his
position on the financial question:
Speaking of the burdens entailed upo n
the North and South by the war, he
said, incidentally, that ave of the
North have to mourn the loss of faith
ers, brothers, sons and friends. and are
burdened with q vast national debt,
binding on US in fact, in law and in
honor, never, l hope, to be questioned
by any honorable man in America till
every cent is paid" The party of re-
pudiation, which has talked of making
q Presidential candidate Of the hero OF
the Army of the Tennessee, are entitled
to such consolation as they can derive
from that sentiment.

900 fraudulent votes in that city at the
