of the argument and facts as presented
in the report of the Chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, has been to

In view of the many alleged frauds
in the election of Congressman by
importation of votes from other States
holding their elections at different
times, and for the purpose of correct

delegates and representative to Con-
gress, for the purpose of making the
same uniform throughout the States.
A Herald special says Thaddeus Ste
vens pronounces the report put forth
by Wilson nonsense, and speaks high
ly of the majority report. A strict
count shows that, under the most ia
vorable circumstances, not more than
40 votes out of 100 can be relied upon
in the House in favor of impeach
ment, and of this number several are
said to be doubtful and, should the
tone of the forthcoming message of
the President be decenAy moderate,
many who are now inclined to listen
to arguments for impeach nent, will
throw their vote and their influence
against it. 1t, is stated this evening
/ that a prominent member of one of
the House financial committee said,
in conversation, that if the question
should be brought before it to NOR
row, the House would vote to issue
one hundred and fifty million dollars
in greenbacks, withdraw the national
bank currency, and replace it with
greenbacks, and with them pay off the
national debt.
The Herald's Havana special of the

Gen. Barriente was captured by Gen.
| Valero, and that Gen. Babadilla, at
the head of a column, had left fol-
Cibo. President Cabrarles and staff
were following.
