Bromwell enforced similar views
Gen. Butler inquired whether Mr..
Bingham, in any effect, was in favor
of an impeachment.
Mr.. Bingham replied that he was
not like some gentlemen, in favor of
impeaching first and having the testi-
mony afterwards.
The question was then taken on
Corodes amendment for special
committee, and voted down by an
Overwhelming mojority.
Ashley's motion to refer the ques-
ton of impeachment to the Judiciary
Committee, was adopted without any
opposition.
Stevens, of Pennsylvania, moved
that when Congress adjourns it ad-
journs till the 8th of May Wilson,
Of Indiana, moved to amend by insert
ing the Goth of October. He thought
the Investigation very grave one, re-
quirinn time, and it was especially i'm
portant that all the States entitled to
representation should be present to
vote on the articles of impeachment.
If that question was presented, these
States would be absent in May.
8 Shellabarger, of Ohio, thought there
was much gravity in this point, but
it was not of pressing importance, in
view of the fact that the Senate, which
is the body to try impeachments, is
full. 1t was not so important that
the House, merely presenting i'm
parchment, should have every State
present.
Blaine enquired of Shella5arger
how it would be in case the articles
of Impeachment carried the House
by majority less than the number
of members to which the absent States
were entitled.
Shellabarger said it would not eff
feet the liability of the action of the
House.
Gen. Butler said postponement
till autumn was simply to abandon
the whole idea.
Wilson's motion was lost, on a vote
being taken-yeas 81, against so nays.
Stevens motion that when the
House adjourned it be till the 9Th of
May, was adopted without opposition.
Allison, of Connecticut, offered a
resolution that it was not expedient
for this Congress to adjourn for more
than three days at any one time till
the question of impeachment was dis
posed of Disagreed to. 81
Pomeroy, of New York, then moved
that Congress will take a recess on
Monday next until the 9Th day of
May. This was decided on by call
of yeas and nays, in the Affirmative
81 against 81; three majority.
u Resolutions to carry out the inten-
tions of the caucus will be introduced
in the House tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The Re
publicans of the House held a
caucus this evening at the Capitol.
There were about one hundred and
twenty members present. Gen.
Banks presided, and Mr., Terry, of
Michigan, acted as Secretary
Ashley offered a resolution di-
recting the Judiciary Committee
when appointed, to continue their in
vestigation into the charges preferred
against the President on the 9TH of
January. The Republican caucus
was organized on the 7th of January
last, to sit during the session of the
House or any recess which may be
taken. H ~
Representative Covode moved to
amend it by substituting "a select COM
mittee of thirteen, the seven mem
bers of the judiciary Committee to
be of the same. His resolution is un-
derstood, to have been prepared by
Gen. Butler, and placed'by him in the
hands of Representative Covode.
Judge Spalding wished to know if
the Judiciary Committee had any
facts bearing on the matter, or charges
not known. IF so, he would ike to
know what they were.
Wilson, of Ohio, stated that it
would be improper to make any COM
munications on the subject.
Farnsworth thought that the sub
ject should be left with the Judiciary
Committee.
Pike, of Maine, said he thought it
more important to determine the time
of adjournment, as that was the point
which vitally affected the question OF
impeachment. He was willing to
adjourn over until Autumn, in order
to afford the Committee ample time
to investigate the subject.
Butler made an earnest appeal for a
Special Committee. The precedents
OF the British Parliament were all
that way, No disparagement of the
