The President has nominated Paran
Stevens, of New Jersey, as Commits
sioner to the Paris Exposition, in
place of DR.. Peterson, of Philadel-
phia, resigned.
The Worlds special says the report
that Colam Wood, of Brooklyn, had

incorrect.

The Tsnaes's special says that at the
Senatorial caucus, last evening, the
whole subject of adjournment and
its relations to impeachment, was full
ly discussed. A surprisingly unani-
mois sentiment was developed against
the impeachment movement, and es-
pecially against any recess or adjourn
ment, which would bring Congress
back here again in short time, for
the express purpose Of considering
this question. The only Senator that
spoke unequivocally for impeachment
was Chandler. As to adjournment,
the very general expression was in
favor of remaining in session only
long enough to close up the Execu-
tive business, and then adjourning to
meet no sooner than November or
December next. No final action was
taken. G7TEHH tG .Tn4rA
The impeachment, fever was in
creased by Wednesday nights action
iuof the House caucus, and was last
night cooled down by the action of the
Senate caucus. The imbroglio
over the assessorship of Internal
Il Revenue in the Fourth District of
California, where the occupant re-
fused to surrender the office to John
rBigler, appointed by the President,
has finally been settled, by the ap-
pointment and confirmation Of Maj.
Thos. j. Rlakenry, formerly Abide
Camp on the staff of General Burns,
commander of the 1st Division of the
Ninth Army Corps. The Speaker Of
the House, having intimated that the
appointment of Tariff Commissioner
would really usurp the functions Of
the Committee of Ways and Means,
it is probable the movement for such
a commission will be abandoned.
