CABINET MEETING.

would be proper to defer the contemplated
visit to the South. The condition. of bust.
ness which will be created by the incoming
new administration will be such as to re-
quire his presence and that of the Cabinet
in Washington. For these reasons he will
not visit the Southern States in March, as
he haG intended if the public service would
would admit
| 1t Is also learned there was some discuss
ion in the Cabinet upon the question of
calling session of the next Congress, but
there were no indications that such call
would be made, though the new Senate
will be called to met in extraordinary =
iou the 9th Of March and the proclama-
ton will be issued probably tomorrow.
1t seems to be believed by all prominent
officers cf the Government here, that pub
lie business before Congress, that is the
| appropriation bills which of necessity must
/ be passed, can be completed before the 4th
! of March, and thus there will be no reason
for a called session Of both Houses. There
! will be several very important matters for
the consideration OF the Senate.
The committee on Elections has finished
its business. Lot, of Louisiana, has retir-
! ell from the contest for the seat of Bore
man, owing to the want Of time for action.
| Maxwell never appeared before tie COM
rnlttee to contest the seat of delegate Hoop
er, of Utah.
The Pollard Committee will next week
report on the Sioux City and Iowa Falls
! Road. The report under Stevenson res
! olutIon will net censurc any one.
A large number of witnesses have been
summoned to testify before the ommttce
| of Ways and Means as to money hav-
| ing been used by tie Pacific Mail Steam,
! ship Company to procure legislation.
! Some of the witnesses are already in
Washington, including a member of the
House of Representatives, and several
gentlemen connected with shpbuiding and
transportation.
While it is true that the resignation of
Secretary Boutwell, WAS placed in the hand
of the President in the carly part of the
present month, to take effect on the 4th of
March, there is the best authority for say
ing that it will be withdrawn or modified
so rs not to take effect until after the Sen
| atorial election IN Massachusetts on the ii
of March. This will be done in accord
ance with the wish of the President.
Up to to day several millions of the new
| five per cent. funding loan bonds have been
issued to supply American subscribers to
the loan. The department does not cx-
rect the Syndicate to the furnish many Of
the bonds to European subscribers until
near the close of May, or just previous to
the expiration, on the first of June, of the
ninety days notice calling in one hundred
millions of five-tw cnty bonds.
| INTRODUCTION OF WOODS CoLTAx IN
PEACHXENT RKsoLUTIoN-ITs IMMEDIATE
CONSIDERATION REJECTED BY 100 TO
lO6.
Special despatch to the Chicago Tribune.
WAsulxGroN, Feb. 20.-Fcrnando
Wood was promptly in his seat at the
meeting Of the House, at II o'clock this
morning, and it soon became known all
over the floor that he had prepared reso-
luton instructins the Judiciary Commit
tee to bring in articles of Impeachment
against Vice President Cofnx, If the facts
| should warrant such actiou. IIo held the
| resolution in his hand for more than two
| hours before he had an opportunity of Of
fering it, and he sat very patiently until
the long journal had be.n read through,
| and while other legislation WAS being dis
POSED of, although his WAS q question Of
privilege, the highest that a member pos
sesses. After the resolution had been
read, and, indeed during its reading, there
was a good deal of excitement in the
House, members consulting together here
and there, in order to reach some agree
ment as to concert in action. Mr.. Tyncr,
of Indiana, one Of the ablcst of the Wes-
tern members, and the successor of Vice
President Colfax, was quick upon his feet,
and, remembering a rarc-uScd rule, moved
that the resolution be not considered.
After brief excitement, the motion of
Mr.. Tyncr, without debate, rs no remarks
would be in order, was submitted to the
House, and on it there was the largest vote
that was even given in the House There
were 106 members in favor of considering
the resolution Of Mr.. Wood, and there
were 100 against it,-a remarkably close
vote. 1t was at most strictly party vote,
the Republicans vot;-~ in favor OF Tyner 8
motion. The Republicans who voted with
the Democrats IN favor of considering the
resolution were: General Butler and
Messrs Farnswortr, Stevenson, Beatty, A.
c. Smith, Porter, Boles, Morphis, and
Goodrich. Not single Democrat voted
with Mr.. Tyner, aud all those interested
in Credit Mobilier voted with the Repub-
| licans. There was scar cely the delay of an
instant before Tyner Vas again on his
! feet, this time with a resolution similar to
that of Wood, but leaving out the name of
Mr.. Colfax, and saying instead that if any
officer subject to the impeachment of the
| House should be found to be deserving it,
/ the Judiciary Committee should so report
This was passed without opposition, and
thus the subject which seemed to promise
good deal of excitement was laid aside
without ripple, and tonight it is scarce
| ly mentioned. OF course the judiciary
| Committee will not consider the subject,
nor was it expected they would. Wood
presented the resolution for buncom Re and
the House did what was necessary without
naming the Vice President.
