The Presidents Impeach.
ment-Backing Down. s

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The Be
publican caucus of the members of
the House of Representatives to-
night was attended by about sew
enty members. The proceedings
were not altogether harmonious.
The proposed action was strong
ly opposed by Mr.. Bingham, of
Ohio. The ground upon which
he based his opposition was, that
this Congress would not have time
to conclude the trial proposed, and
that as the succeeding one was
eminently Radical, it would be best
and safest to leave the matter tc
the consideration aud action of the
40th Congress.
Mr.. Stephens thought there
would be ample time in this Con
gress to do whatever was to be
done. He was not, therefore, in
favor of fastening the matter
He believed that ought to be done
but he was not willing to 60 into il
unless it could be done thoroughly
and certainly.
Mr.. Spalding, of Ohio, opposed
the proposed action very earnestly
He did not believe that any goo(
would result from it. Mr.. Wash
burn, of Illinois, did not thinl
that impeachment was possible
although he believed that the Pres
ident had done many things serious
lily Objectionable.
! The opinion is arrived at from
the proceedings of the caucus, tina
the Presidents impeachment viii
not be attempted at present.

filthy refuse is taken and sold, and
where it goes through the fol
