Mr.. LINCoLN's VIEWs.-When it was
proposed to reconstruct Louisiana during the
war, and fill the Offices of that State and its
representation in Congress with foreign adven-
turers, cold Abe'' wrote the following letter,
which is applicable to these times. Under
date of November Dist, 1868, Mr.. Lincoln
wrote as follows:
DEAR SIR: DR., Kennedy, bearer of this,
has some apprehension that Federal officers,
not c;tlze MS Of Louisiana, may be set up as can
dldates TOR Congress in that State. In my view
there could be no possible object in such an
election. We do not particularly need mem
bcrs of Congress from those States to enable us
to get along with legislation here. What we do
want is conclusive evidence that respectable
citizens of Louisiana are willing to be members
of Congress, and to swear support to the Con
stitution; and that other respectable citizens
there are willing to vote tor them and send
them. To send parcel of Northern men here
as representatives, elected, as would be under
stood (and perhaps really So at the point of
the bayonet, would be disgraeefuI. and outra:
geous; and, were I member of Congress here,
would vote against admitting airy such man

Referring to the refusal ot the Senate to ed

Impeachment Of a criminal intent to violate, a
law, the New York Times pointedIy says :,
"Wha,ever it is competent. for Congress to
prove, it is also competent for the President
to dsprove; evidence both for and against the
siblc. And when the President offered the
testimony of those upon whom the constitu-
ton authorizes him to call for advice, to prove
that he did call upon them, and that he &C; ed
upon the advice which they gave him, and
could not, therefore, have intended to violate
the constitution, it is not easy to see how such
evidence could have been refused"

CONGRESS-.

The Senate was not in session yesterday. In
the House of Representatives, Mr.. Robinson,
Of New York, submitted a resolution rescina-
ing the impeachment proceedings, and recall
ing the Managers. The House by the vote of
IS yeas to 81 nays refused to receive the reso-
luton. Mr.. Phelps, Of Maryland, endeavored,
as question of privilege" to introduce a
preamble and resolution recting that there ap-
peared paragraph In the BALTIMORE Ameri-
can on April Is, in relation to the examination
OF Gen. Sherman before the Impeachment
Managers, and which implied that the Mana
gers declined to further cross examine Gen
Sherman in Court until after he had been ex-
amined before the Managers, and declaring
that the said publication implied scandalous
proceedings on the part OF the Managers and
members of the House, and that such reports
should not be permitted to pass without inyes-
tigation; and authorizing the appointment of
q special committee of three to investigate the
truth of the allegation in the paragraph re-
terred to. The House threw the resolution
out. The Amendatory Bankrupt bill was
passed with amendments. 1t extends the pro
visions of the thirty third section Of the origi-
nal act, so as to apply to proceedings COM
