House drunk as some gentlemen did. He
wogld hold the man who instigaied this pro-

Mr.. Butcher said he bad moved the cali Of
the House at the instance Of Mr. Bradford the
gentleman from Barbour, who desired the
passage Of a certain BILL If the gentleman
from Ohio alluded to him in his remarks as he

The Pregg on the Impeaehment.

The Baltimore San says, the report Of the
Judiciary committee that they end no evidence
taken by Judge Poand's committee to war
rant the impeachment Of any officer Of the
government has received very generally the
sharp criticism Of the press. The New York
Tribune cbarlcter.zes the report as " Trojan
horse. not conccalins a storming party bnt q
speech. and asserts that tire brief fled By
the committee establishes the principle that a
man may make his bargain, goto Congress,
be influenced by tLe money paid him
beforehand. and nothing can be done with him.
The New York World thinks that the commit
zee transcribed It's power, and assumed the
ugbtUf d court Of Impeachment to decide on
urisIi,,ioo. when Il was limited in inquiry to
tie evidence obtained in the investigation. 1t
also adds that Mr.. Butler is, so to speak,
the retained counsel Of Ames, and has ex-
cmu.cL BIr. Colflx from impeachment on the
same grounds that will protect Ames from ex-
palsi5n. The New York Herald says it Is a
plea Of the statute Of limitations on behalf Of
Lrbers, br.betakers aud the pegurers Of Con-
gress. aud is surprised at General Better,
whom it was thought wouli not shrink from
bis duty. The New YORK times republican,
regrets that IL vas 6eu6 necessary to dismiss
tLe case On ssch harrow grounds, and attrib-
utes 70 to General Buffers desire to pick a
flaw in The Poland report, for the benefit Of his
alleged clisut, Ames. The Washington Re-
publican thinks that Mr.. Butler made a very
learned and able argument to prove that the
House had 10 constitutional power to expel
Mr. Ames and Mr. Brooks. The Washington
Chronicle indicates MILDLY It's approval Of the
report
