HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

| The House Immediately proceeded to the
consideration of the additional article of
impeachment offered yesterday by Mr..
Jencks, who advocated its adoption. ~
Mes.rs. Highly and Lawrence. of Ohio,
supported the proposition. The latter
desired to offer resolution directing the
managers of the impeachment to present
to the Senate the first four articles of i'm
parchment agreed upon by the House, that
they proceed to ask the judgment of the
Senate thereon, after proper hearing, and
that if they afterwards found it necessary,
should present the remainder OF the arti-
cles agreed upon.
Mr.. BINGHAM expressed hope that
the resolution would not be agreed to.
The SPEAKER stated that it was not be-
fore the House.
Mr.. JENCKS then moved the previous
question on the adoption of the article Of
| fered by him. 1t charges unlawful intent
and design on the part of the President to
assume and exercise control and command
| of the armies of the United States, without
being bound by the laws establishing rules
of the Government and the regulation of
the land and naval forces OF the United
States.
The House, under the lead of Mr.. Bing-
ham, refused to second the previous ques-
tion, and then, on his motion, the/article
was referred to the managers.
| The House then, at o'clock, resolved it,
self into committee of the Whole, Mr..
Dawes in the Chair. and proceeded to the
Senate, in company with the managers, to
present to that body articles of impeach-
ment.
| At a quarter before 2 O'Clock, the COM
mittee of the whole of the House returned
to the hall, and its chairman. Mr.. Dawes,
reported that the managers OF impeach-
ment on the part of the House had pre-
sented to the Senate articles of impeach-
ment against the President of the United
States, and had been informed by its pre-
siding officer that the Senate would take
action thereon. of which due notice would
be given.
| MIR. DAWES, from the committee on cleo
tions, called up the joint resolution report
ed from that committee relative to R. r.
Bulleg, Representative elect from the first
Congressional District of Tennessee. The
joint resolution provides that Bulleg be ad-
mitted to a seat as Representative, on tax
ing the usual oath to support the COnstitu-
tion, and test oath, with the exception of
the following words: THAT have neither
sought nor accepted Office under any auth
ority or pretended authority in hostility to
the United States" gF
After debate, the resolution went over
for the present.
Mr.. BEAMAN offered a resolution in
structing the General commanding the
army to report the number of votes cast
| for and against the adoption of the Ala
bama Constitution. Adopted.
Adjourned.
