WARRINGTON, March 7.-HoUsE-Mr.
Ashley, Of Ohio, offered a resolution for
the appointment of a Judiciary Com
mittee to continue investigation into
the charges against the President which
he made in the last Congress. He fol-
lowed with a %half-hour's speech eharg-
ing the President with corruption, usur-
patton and crime, and intimated that he
gained the'Executive chair through COM
plicity in the assassination.
At this point Speaker ColfaI called
him to order on the ground that he was
going beyond the limits Of debate.
Some Democrat, at this point, in-
quired if there was not an insane
asylum in which Mr.. Ashley could be
placed. E.f.E
Mr.. Spaulding, of Ohio, denounced
the whole impeachment movement as a
piece of %foolishness. He said that two
months Of Investigation had virtually
proved nothing.
Mr.. Butler urged a vigorous impeach-
ment Investigation, maintaining that
the House, as at present constituted,
was legally competent to proceed with
the matter.
Messp. Wood. and Pruyn, on the
Democritic side, continued the debate.
Mr.. Fernando Wood said that when
the impeachment report should be made,
he could submit some facts showing the
motives which instigated the matter,
and which would startle the House and
the country.
The resolution passed without divi-
sion.
The Speaker appointed the old Judi
ciary Committee and added another
Democyat to it.
WASHINGTON, March s.-Mr. Wood
asked leave to offer the following:
Resolved, That this House extend its
sympathy to the people Of ireland in
Their present struggle for constitutional
liberty, and that if the despotic Govern
ments of Europe be allowed to establish
monarchical institutions in America,
so should the United States foster and
promote education and republican in
situations in Europe.
The rules were suspended-lo3 to ID;
and the resolution vas offered.
The previous question was called, but
was not seconded, the. vote standing 33
to 80. "
The resolution was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, when ap-
pointed.
Mr.: Price moved to suspend the rules
to enable him to introduce a joint reso-
luton to apply the surplus funds in the
Treasury, over $50, 600, 900, to the re-
demption of compound-interest notes.
Ayes, &c; noes, SO. Two-thirds not

was lost and the rules were not suS-
pended.

Feuian Excitement In Now York-Tender
Skill in Brooklyn.
NEW YORK, March s.-The excitement
among the Fenians on account Of the
news from Ireland is intense. Theihead-
quarters are thronged. A large num-
her of Irish-Americans have rendered
pecuniary assistance and several boats
for the Fenian army. It is ascertained
that Stephens is still residing in Brook
Ign, having nothing to do with the pres
emit struggle.
Specials to tho Now York Press.
NEW York, March s.-The Times spe-
cial Jaws al the Senatorial caucus last
evening the whole subject of adjourn
ment and its relations to impeachment
were fully discussed. A surprisingly
unanimous sentiment was developed
against'th the impeachment movement, es-
pecially against any recess or adjourn
ment which would bring Congress back
again in so short a time for the express
purpose of considering. that question.
The only Senator who spoke unequivo-
cally for impeachment was Chandler.
As to adjournment, the very general
impression was that the Senate should
remain in session only long enough to
close up the executive business and then
adjourn to meet no sooner than iNovem-
Der or December next. No final action
was taken. The impeachment furore
was increased by the Wednesday-night
action of the House caucus, but was
last night cooled down by the action Of
the Senate caucus.
The imbrogho over the AssessorsniP
of Internal Revenue in the Fourth Dis
trict of California, where the occupant
refused to surrender the office to John
Bigler, appointed by the President, has
finally been settled by the appointment
and confirmation of Major Thomas J..
Blakeny, formerly an Aid-de-Camp on
the staff of General Burns, command
ing the First Division of the Ninth Army
Corps.
timated that the appointment of Tariff
Commission would really usurp the
functions of the Committee on Ways and
Means, it is probable that the appoint
ment Of such q committee will be aban-
doned. The extreme tariff advocates
rsfnse to consent TO any proposition of
this kind unless they can control it.
The Worlds special says the report
that Colonel A.. N Wood, of Brooklyn,
has been nominated as Naval Ofieer is
incorrect.
