The Recess Resolution.
There some little excitement and q good deal
of fun occasioned by the consideration OF the Senate
amendment to the Joint resolution providing for @
recess Before the House met and In the early part
Of the session the carpet-baggers, aided by few OF
the more extreme radicals were engaged IN canvass
ting among members upon the prospect Of impeach-
ment and Of defeating an early adjournment Their
pretext was that Congress should do something to
secure the success of the radical State governments
recently established at the South Their real object
however, was TO get time. 80 as TO spring the i'm
parchment question upon the House. When the ad-
journment question was taken up, therefore, J. T.
Devices carpet Dagger from North Carolina, arose
from the outer circle of seats the democratic side
and commenced an appeal to the House against ad-
journment. Calls made from the republican
side for him to come forward, so that he might be
heard. He came down the aisle towards the
Speakers stand and finally mounted the Clerks
desk where Old Thad usually stands when he ad-
dresses the House. This movement created great
merriment among both republicans and democrats
some Of the latter laughing immoderately at the ex
traordinary modesty Of the carpetbagger, who pro.
ceeded IN a wild, incoherent way to denounce the
democratic party, mixing IT up with plantve stories
about the terrible sunerings OF the truly loyal
men Of the South. Brooks, Eldridge, Fernando
Wood and other leading democrats tried
to help his confusion by asking him all
sorts OF questions but he generally succeeded in
giving them such an answer to create laugh at
schenck who had yielded the noor allowed Devices

OF the carpetbaggers who has attempted to speak In
the House the matter created quite sensation. The
House finally agreed 10 the resolution Of adjourn
ment IS 1t came from the Senate.
Impeachment 70 be Revived.
Tomorrow Mr.. Hamilton, Of Florida, contemplates
presenting TO the House of Representatives pre-
amble and resolutions reviving the impeachment
scheme. The preamble reviews the reasons upon
which the subjoned resolutions are based, and
consists mainly OF reiteration OF the charges
against the President as embodied in the
articles OF impeachment OF last spring. The resou-
tions, in ADDITION to that impeaching the President
of high crimes and misdemeanors, revives the old
Board Of Managers, and requires them to
forthwith notify the Senate of the action OF
the House and TO prepare articles OF i'm
parchment at once. II is known that all
the Southern members are in favor OF the project
and large number OF the btterest OF the radicals.
There Is, however, strong element in the ranks Of
the same party opposed TO renewing the measure.
In the event OF the resolutions Of Mr.. Hamilton CON-
Ing before the House and receiving Its consent
change may be necesstated In the proposed adjourn
ment on Monday next.
