WASHINGTON, January 19.-The telegraph la

against the President, that have occurred in eac
wing Of the Capitol this week; but it cannot hay
dilated upon the savage growth Of that spirit {
| wild accusation which now seems to have seized o

House. In the latter body, it is to be expects
that the expression Of the impeaehing member
will be OF the cxtromest Violence, however lacking
in material corroborative proof; hence witness tn
insane accusations of Hon. Ben. LOAN, OF Missouri

was in direct comI>'icity with the plot to assassi
nate LINCOLN, and that the consideration, to follow
his consequent elevation to the Presidential Chair
was to be the exercise Of executive clemency ant
partality to the people Of the South. In tie lowe
House, such ebullitons Of irresponsible wrath ar

discord and not minister of peace it sees that
80 long as his opinion prevails there is small
chance for tranquility, or security, or reconcilia-

rebel States so much longed for must be arrested
