Washington correspondent of the

New York Independent says that therS Is a rapidly increasing disposition among Republican Congressmen to let impeachment go by default. Ho significantly admits that the removal of the President does not involve a great principle, and that members are at liberty, to consider the expediency of such a course aside from the question of the President's guilt. Considering the previous position of the Independent, both its editor and its Washington correspondent, this confession that impeachment is a question of ex* pediency, rather than of principle, is significant. On the subject of the next Presidency he says: "Governor Boutwell, who spends twoi thirds of the year in Washington, favors the nomination of Grant for the Presidency, I hear and he is the last man in Congress to advocate the nomination of anybody whose position he considered doubtful on any important question at issua. 1 conclude, therefore, that he has abeolute knowledge of Qen. Grant's poll tioal opinions."

THE Senate assembled yesterday with a large majority at Senators present. Mr. Sumner offered a oopy of a tilll which was passed at tho last session but not returned by the President,to strike out the word "white" in all laws relating to and governing the Dietrict of Columbia. Objeotion belnj£tnade the bill was laid over.

Industrial Convention, which

recently convened at Columbia, S. C., put forth an address to the Southern people, from which we make the following extract: "Cultivate less cotton and more breadstuff^ raise for their own use and for sale, horses, mules «nd stock of all kind*t core their own hay, make their own butter, and sell the surplus*" "We should also manufacture our own cloths and implements upon our own soil, be cause there can be no more auspicious moment than the present to begin the manufacture of goods from our own raw material."

Wise-Pollard difficulty is thus

treated by the New York Herald:

St-

"There is a well preserved tradition that a member of Congress from South Carolina once attended a performance at a Washington jtheatre, and thought the play and the placing very bad. He thought them so bad as to be beyond the reaeh of ordinary remedies. Ho said to himself, 'I'll stop this,' and he immediately produced the horse pistol that every chivalric son of the South carries in his coat, and ^peped on the actors. Now that was read dramatic criticism, and the Wises have studied from that member's favorite authors. They adopt the same style."

The Storm in the West Indies. Niw YoBKr Nov. 21.—A Porto Bico paper of tho 6th contains full particulars of the great storm in the West Indies.— The hurricane immolated a multitude of victims, destroyed houses, desolated plantations, swept away fields of grain, dei prived thousands of the poor in one night of their means of livelihood.

At St. Thomas the damage was very great. In the Island of Tortola tho destruction was lamentable. Not a single house is left standing, and hundreds of lives were lost.

The same may be said of the Islands of Viegues and Cidra. Ninety-six houses wore destroyed and several lives lost in Laiza. Twenty-nine houses and several lives in every house were destroyed in Aguishas. In Bio Grande, forty-eight houses and eleven persons. In Corocal, forty-five bouses.

SLATE, PLACE CO.

WASHMOTON, Nov.21. SENATE.

The Senate met at noon, prater by chaplain. The following Senators were present:

Messrs. Anthony, Cameron, Cattel, Chandler, Conness, Cole, Corbett, Conkling, Creighton, Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Drake, Edmunds, Feuenden, Fowler, Frelinghuysen, Grimes, Harlan, Johnson, Jordon, Merrill, Of Vt., Merrill, of Me., Morton, Norton, Nye, Patterson, of N. H., Patterson, of Tenn, Pomeroy, Ramsay, Ross, Sherman, Stewart, Sumner, Thayer, Tipten, Trumbull, Van Winkle, Willey, Wyman, Wilson and Yates.

Mr. Sumner asked unanimous consent to introduce a bill for the further security of equal rights in the District of Columbia. He stated the bill was aa exact copy of the bill passed at the last session, but not returned by the President. It therefore became necessary again to pass ii.— The bill reads as follows:

Be it enacted &c. That the word white wherever it occurs in the laws relating to the District of Columbia or in the charter or ordnances of tfcefeoities ef Washington and Georgetown and in reference to persons to hold any office, or lobe selected and to serve as jurors, beand the same is •hereby repealedj and it shall be unlawful for any person or offioer to enforce or attempt to enforce said' limitation after the passage of this bilL

Mr. Davis objecting, the bill was laid over. Mr. Willisms introduced.a joint resolution amendatory of a joint resolution ap« proved June 27th, 1866, authorizing the Court of Claims to reopen and examine for adjudication the claims of Bichard W. Mead, deceased. Referred to the Judici\ ary Committee.

Mr. Edmunds effered the following joint resolution which was read and laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. He would call it up at an early day and hoped it would be passed with entire unanimity:

WHEREAS,

ted States was, except where specially otherwise provided, contracted and incurred upon the faith and credit of the Uni* ted States, that the same be paid or redeemed in coin or its equivalent, there* fbre

JletoM, By the Senate and House of Representative of the United States of America in Congress Asseimbled, that the public debt of the United States, except in the cases wherein the law authorising the same, other provision was expressly made, is owing in coin or its equivalent, and the United States is hereby pledged in payment accordingly.

Mr. Wilson offered the following,which was agreed to: Retolved, That the Secretary of the Treasury be directed to communicate for information to the Senate any facts or reports in possession of the Department relating to the repeal of the tax on eotton.

H0USK-

*li,

The Holm assembled at noon. The attendance of members is unusually large. The galleries were crowded before eleven o'clock. Many ladies were accommodated in the gentlemen's gallery.

Mr. Stevens, of Pa., was in his seat, apparently in as good physical condition as at last session.

The proceedings opened with prayer by Chaplain Bovington. Messrs. Woedwaid, of Pa., and Cary, of Ohio, members elect, took the oath prescribed by law.

The eight members elect from Tennessee having been called 'by the Speaker to take the oath, Mr. Eldridge objected to administering the oath to Mr. Stokes, and moved his credentials be referred to the Committee on Credentials.

James Brooks, of New York, objected to administering the oath to any of the Tennessee delegates, on the ground: First, That two, if not more, of them had been guilty of treason to the Government, and had taken tbe oath of allegiance to the Confederate Covernment and Jeff. Davis. And, second, There does not now exist in the State of Tennessee a Bepublican form of Government. [Loud laughter on Republican side.] Mr. Brooks argued that the electoral law of Tennessee disfranchises a majority of white citizens, the whole vote oi the State is 140,000, and yet 10,000 voters had controlled the elec. tion 65,000 of whom were negroes controlling the 45,000 white voters who were not disfranchised. An oligarchy now exists and reigns in Tennessee, and the franchise law there was a disgrace to any free form of government, a disgrace to civilisation, and a reprobation to all forms of Bepublican self-government.

Mr. Brooks then stated his special objections to tbe swearing in of Butler, because as a member of the Tennessee Legislature, before and during the rebellion, he bad introduced supporters and voted for resolutions and measures proving his disloyalty to the United States Government among these were resolutions to reject the confirmation of any man to office who endorsed the Helper book, condemning the appointment of Seward in the Lincoln Cabinet as an act of hostility to the South, and for calling a convention to take Tennessee out of the Union. Mr. Brooks quoted the precedent established by the Republican side of the House last July, in regard to the Kentucky members, and arguea they were now irrevocably bound by it.

Mr. Brooks then objected to the swearing in of Mr. Mullins, on the ground that he had given aid and comfort to the rebellion, had made speeches in behalf of it, had lent his aid and support to it, had attempted to raise troops for it, and made speeches in Bedford county in 1861, in which he urged young men to enlist in a rebel company and defend their homes and firesides.

Mr. Brooks also objected to the swearing in of Mr. Arnell on the ground that he had established, in Lawrenco county, Tenn., a tannery which he devoted to suppling shoes to rebel soldiers,

Mr, Brooks also objected to the swear, ing in of Trimble, saying his information was that if he voted at all on questions of secession he had voted for taking Tennessee out of the Union. Trimble, on his oath, assured Brooks he had not done so. Brooks accepted the denial and withdrew all special objection to swearing in Trimble.

Mr, Eldridge then stated to the House the ground on which he objected to swearing in Mr. Stokes. It was that Mr. Stokes had admitted in the House on the 27th of July, 1866, having written a lettor to John Duncan on the 10th of May, 1861, stating he understood some gro-s misrepresentations were going the rounds of his section in reference to his position, which he (Stokes) wished to correct that he had been a zealous advocate of the Onion up to the time Lincoln had called for 75,000 troops'in violation of law for tbe subjugation of the South that he commended Gov. Harris, of Tenn., for his course, and for arming the State and resisting Lincoln at the point of tho bayonet, and be had enrolled his name as a volunteer to resist Lincoln's usurpations.

Mr. Logan expressed gratification at seeing members on the Democratic side coming up to the mark he was willing to have the matter of Mr. Butler referred, but as to Mr. Stokes he thought if any man could wipe out a wrong, that noble man Stokes had wiped out the wrong of that letter, infighting for the Union, while some gentlemen were publishing treasonable articles.

Mr. Dawes, of Mass., moved a substitute for the pending motion, that the credentials of Mr. Butler be referred to the Committee on elections, and pending the decision of the question he be not sworn. He, Dawes, understood the gentleman from New York, to make bis motion in good faith he assured that gentleman he had made wonderful progress since last session, when he put himself on the ground that no charge of duloyalty, however flagrant and palpable, was sufh cient ground for the exclusion of a member who held a certificate of election.— He congratulated the country on this wonderful conversion he trusted Mr. Brooks would continue to journey until he saw more clearly even than members on the Bepublican side, what did constitute loyalty and disloyalty.

The gentleman bad also taken grounds to-day that it was proper for the House to look into the Constitution of a State and decide who there is republican or not he was happy for once to be able to stand with the gentleman from New York, and vote with him he welcomed him as a new convert, and expected him, like all repentants, to take the load and do works meet for repentance.

Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, opposed all motions looking to the exclusion of any Tennessee members, and spoke oi the high character and services of Stokes.— He wished members of the South to know which was the party on the floor which did not acknowledge any place or time for repentance, which could not relieve them of disfranchisement, not for rebellion but for the holding of opinions in

After some further remarks by Dawes and Chandler, of New York, Mr. Marshall, of Illinois, expressed bis conviction thfrt the qualifications prescribed in the Constitution were the only test that could rightfully apply to the members, but since the House has established a different law for its own act should be governed by it he described the State government of Tennessee as a disgrace to the country and to civilisation, and said it was notorious that Union soldiers in Tennessee had been disfranchised under the Brownlow government, simply because they would not put their hands to their mouths, and their mouths in the dust and kneel suppliant to the negro government there, which was lording it over white American freemen.

The amendment of Dawes, to refer the credentials of Butler to tbe Committee on Elections was agreed to. This was a substitute or the original motion of Eldridge, the effect of it being to refer Mr. Butler's «... not that of Stokes. The Democrats generally voted no on agreeing to the resolution as amended. The negative vote

on Brooks' motion wss received with laughter, and remarks that they would have to be converted again.

Messrs. Johnsou, Cole and Washbnrne, of Illinois, appeared and were sworn in. Mr. Eldridge renewed his motion, that the credentials of Stokes be referred to the Committee on Elections

Mr. Schenck said he wanted no more of this sort of thing. A member from New York had just shown by his vote that he had been trifling with the House, proving his object to set|some party trap which, however, sprang and caught himself, than for the purpose of grave inquiry into the right of seat. He was glad tbe House in the case of Mullins had carried out the precedent established in the Ken* tucky case, giving credit to the statement of a member, Brooks, to which his own conduct showed him not entitled, as he had voted against his own proposition.— He was opposed to the reference of Stokes' credentials, as that gentleman has shown his loyalty by fighting under the flag.

Mr. Morgan enquired it the fact that Mr. Stokes had fought valliantly under the flag entitled him to take the test oath

Mr. Schenck replied he was not the conscience keeper of Mr. Stokes, that matter was entirely for himself.

Mr. Randall contrasted the action of the Republican members in the Kentucky case with their present action, and asked how they could reconcile their political inconsistency.

Mr. Dawes closed the debate by moving tbe previous question, which was seconded, and the resolution of Mr. Eldridge rejected, so Stokes' credentials were not referred.

Mr. Brooks then submitted a resolution to refer tbe credentials of Mullins to the Committee on Elections, and sent to the Clerk's desk a letter from a Lieutenant in the 12th U. S. Infantry, supporting the statement made in respect to that case. Referring to the remark of Mr. Logan, he said the only difference between Mr. Logan and himself was that at the beginning of the war Mr. Logan was a terrible Copperhead and himself Union, while now Logan was a terrible disunion man and Jacobin and himself still a Union an.

As to the remarks of Mr. Schenck, that gentleman was .not a very amiable person, he had not that suavity of manner which, as a student of Chesterfield, he ought to have he was the regular scold of the House.

Mr. Brooks then defended his course in regard to the subject before the House. Mr. Shellaberger said he would not discuss the proposition whether the House might disregard the requirements of the test oath law, the House would be doing a most dangerous thing if it let down the high and important requirements of the test oath for members on either side it should hold up in utmost good faith the standard to where the law had fixed it, and required that vigilance shall be brought to beair to see that no one shall be sworn in who could not properly take it.

He would not consent to his colleague's, Schenck's proposition, that Mr. Stokes should judge for himself whether he could take the test oath.

Mr. Schenck explained and justified his remark and having referred to the case of Senator Patterson, he said h.e would have permitted him to take the oath, but would have permitted him to take the oath, but would have the ndxt moment moved to expel him for manifest perjury.

Mr. Shellabarger resuming, argued that the resolution to refer Mf. Mullin's credentials should be adopted.

Mr. Butler, of Mass., opposed the resolution on the ground principally that the charge against Mr. Mullins was made simply on an unsworn statement contained in a letter of a person unversed.

Mr. Davis in behalf of Mr. Mullins, entered a full and complete denial by that gentleman of all matters alleged in tbe letter submitted to the House the resolution was rejected unanimously.

Tennessee members, except Mr. Butler, were called in front of tbe Speaker's chair and had tho test oath solemnly administered to them.

The Speaker laid before the House a letter from the Secretary of the Territory of New Mexico, stating he was forced to sign a certificate of election of Cleaver as delegate, but his apparent majority was made up by frauds. Cleaver was fairly elected by a majority of 1,103 votes. His papers wero referred to the Committee on Elections, and neither claimant sworn in a? delegate.

On motion of Blain the Committee of Ways and Means was directed to inquire into tbe expediency Of repealing tbe tax on cotton.

Mr. Dawes asked leave to offer a resolution instructing the Joint Committee on Retrenchment to enquire into whisky fraudi, &e.

Mr. Spalding objected. He said the resolution was too long. Mr. Farnsworth asked leave to offer a resolution for taking the census in the rebellious States.

Mr. Chandler ohjected. Mr. Logan asked and was excused from further service on tho Committee of Retrenchment.

Mr. Mullin, of Tennessee, made some remarks in denial of the letter which had been read against him.

Tbe Houae at 1 o'clock adjourned till Monday.
