The House took up The bill report
ed yesterday from the Reconstruction
Committee. to provide for a more,
efficient government of the insurrec-
tionary States. After some discus
sion as to how long the debate should.
last without action, Ashley, rising to
q personal question, sent to the
Clerk S desk and had read the CORE
spondepce. from the Cincinnati Com
nsercSdt protesting to give the circum-
stances connected with the Offering
of Ashley's impeachment resolution.
The reading caused much amusement.
Ashley said, OF all the falsehoods
which had been. manufactured and
sent from this city by reckless, stupid
maligners, this story was most silly
He never had, up to the time of the
Offering of this resolution, any cores
pondence or conversation with Gen.
Butler on the subject; nor had he
known what his views were, exeept
from newspaper reports. He had his
own views since his. first interview
with the President4F correcting HIM
self 1.-The acting President. After
the assassination of Mr.. lincoln the
first gentleman to whom he had read
the resolution was Mr.. w ashburne of
Illinois, and no one would accuse him
of a want of friendship for Gen.
Grant. He had also shown it to Mr..
Stevens and two or three other gen
tlemen. Certainly nothing was
further from his thoughts, or the
thoughts of those he had consulted
than the ideaIof stabbing Gen. Grant
in the dark. It was well known that
no officer in the army could be i'm
peached, therefore, the story on
that point was SO stupid as to be only
Worthy,of contempt. As to the lam.
guage alleged to have been used to
him by his colleague, Bingham, no
such language was ever used. He
would not have risen to a personal
| explanation on his own account, but
he had yielded to the Judgment OF
others, ,o,'. 'slui eli
steysns, resuning the floor on the
bill to provide for insurrectionary
States, prefaced his remarks by stating
that the reference made to him in the
