+ New YORK, Feb 24.-At eight o clock
this morning the thcImc meter Oh Broad
way was ut zero, with very cold winds
The weather is the coolest of the season,
Various trades organizations, princi-
pally German, held separate meetings
yesterday for the purpose of inaugural
ing general strike, to take place short
ly, for the enforcement of the eight-hour
system and other means to better their
condition.
! Washington specials have the follow.
eng: "In an interview yes erlay with
Representative Bingham, Chairman of
the Judiciary Committee, that gentle
man stated thatthe House had no juris-
diction whereby the case of Vice Presi-
dent ColfaX could be reached by I'M
parchment. 1t had been decided in the
Senate that it has no jurisdiction over
alleged otfenses of its members not COM
mitted during their connection with the
Senate. 1t is the opinion that like rea-
soning is applicable to the case of the
members of the House. The report of
the Judiciary Committee on Poand's re-
port has been prepared by General But
Ter as to the case of Judge Sherman,
which was considered by the commit
tee, Peters, Il member of the commit
tee, says there was not enough evidence
to justify any action. The committee
will recommend that his case be referred
to the next House for consideration.
Peters don't think the majority of the
! House will vote for the expulsion of any
Credit Mobiliers. Butler will make the
defense of Ames. Congress has no time
for action for the impeachment of Colfay.
The committees report will assail Po-
lands report. Butler. i'll seeking to
save Ames, will give defendants chances
/ to attempt to save Brooks"
Another special say, the judiciary
Committee have determined to pre- sent
articles of impeachment against United
States Delahay OF Kansas, whose case
! they began to examine. The charge is
habitull drunkenness and frequent COM
mission of gross indecenciei while on
/ the bench. under the influence of liquor.
One of the witnesses in the case of
Standardized Ingalls, says the Senator
agreed to pay Delahays son-in-law 3d.
OO0 if lie would keep the Judge sober
long enough to open Court and sign
some very important papers. This was
done, but Ingalls, client refused to pay
the money and he declined to hold HIM
/ self liable when the sut brought by
/ Osborne, Delahay's son-in-law, to in
force payments. Dclahay was appoint
ed from Illinois i'll 1866
