Mr.. Jenckes, Of Rhode Island, the priu.
cipal manager Of the bankrupt bill on the
part Of the House, expects that it will finally
pass this evening or tomorrow, as recon-
mended by the conference committee to

BILE opposition to it in both houses, but the
indications are that it will go safely through.

The Presidents s veto message on the mil.
itary government bill," which had been ex-
pected every hour for several days past, was
sent in on the last day, and Immediately
acted upon by both branches, and passed

ccs' was also vetoed by the President. 1t

IMPEACHMENT REPORTS.
Both the m;jo.i,J. and minority of the
Judiciary Committee nave submitted re-
ports on the impeachment investigation.
The former simply state that in their opinion
there is sufficient reason for recommending
il continuation Of the investigation to the
next Congress, but they submit no evidence
The latter Mr.. Rogers says there is not
particle OF testimony in all that has been
tnken which will sustain single charge con-
tanned in the resolution authorizing the in
vcstigatOn; and. furthermore, that the
evidence taken by the committee is not such
as would be admitted in a court of justice
TIE BANKTrpT BILL ETc.
This bill is considered safe. There seems
to be no doubt that it will be signed by the
President ere the adjournment. lie will
probably visit the Capitol in the morning for
the purpose Of signing such bills as he may
approve. This is customary on the last day
Of the session.
TIE INCOMING CONGRESS.
There seems to be general understand
Ing that the House Of Representatives of
the Fortieth Congress will tomorrow effect
n partial organization, by electing MIR. Col
fax to the S?cakcrship, without any previous
formal arrangement. It is probable that
MIR. McPhcrson, the Clerk, will also be re-
elected.
