A BILL has been reported to Congress, requiring all thre States to hold their tleo tiohs' ft5T members of the House of R#pre8M»tatives on the same day This is a regulation much wanted. All sorts of times, before and after the commencement of* fession, fire appointed for the election of congressmen, in the various states.— Some held in ilarch, others in April, May, Jun^ August, September, October and November. As by lite act of Congreet it has been provided that each new Congress shall assemble on the 4th of MarfcV of tihe year in which its session •commences, it is impossible, under present regulations to got a full house at that -time. "This perplexing obstacle hindered the 'appointment of the regular standing committees at the beginning of the last «essioa or first adjourned session, and practically tbe transaction of any busiogt^.hut ib*t shicb, upon account of the emergency, could not be postponed, Another consideration worthy of being tbought&tf* is tbe benefit which would be obtained by .the discouragement of fraud, which would ba avoided by the holding of elections in all the States on the same tiny. At presant there is great encoui£gement for the perpetration of frauds,'by the importation of fraudulent voters from States in which there are no •etootions, and colonizing them in order to .carry elections by fntud. By making the Congressional' election day uniform, this «vIt would'tie, in a great measure avoided.

The Impeachment Settled.

Our telegraphic despatches, elsowhere in thij^iisHS, aisouste the settlement of the -qtMitfov of impeaching President JOHHSOK. The sentiment of the House of Representatives was largely against it.— Tbe time and opportunity for impeachment^Jis long since pasidd,and the country wiu jefcce&rtls be relieved from the discussion of the matter. Mr, JOHKBON has protiably coinnitfted acts for whTdh he might have been justly impeached and expelled from office, "btrt his power for fu« ture evil has been so curtailed and hedg ed about by the recent legislation of Congress that he can now scarcely do much injury during thfi short, time he will yet hold office.. Congress has done a wise thftig to flr^p the' discussion of tbe pro posed impeachment and turn to other matters.

TBE Democratic leaders in certain quarters are making efforts to have the next* Democratic "Nations! Convention held a^ Louisville, Kentucky.

The Cfirrencj .,,.^esi,

The telegraph announces tbe action of the.Lowor House of Congress, on Saturday last, on the quegtioii' of contracting the currency. The Howe passed a resolution taking away from the Secretary of tbe Treasury tbe power or-retiring ^fotrr milHdnspermoptl) 6f legs! tenders. This is^yjggp -ifl Uie rijht direction. The country need* all tbe currency now outstanding for the transaction of its ordinary business snd ^sah stand an expansion, of the preientamouoti in ^ciriwlation, much belter than a contraction. The policy of Mr. McCulloch in man«gingour finances is fast pressing hard times upon the country and if continued foe any great period mast iring about a financial panic. The people eipect Congress at its present sessiqji^o place tb(^ finances of the country in a belter condition, and this is a work which exceeds in import^ ance all other political matters now agitated. "WVtrust that Coagress before it rises will adopt.some satisfactory plan for funding tb* entire bonded debt, expanding the currency to .some extent, and set* tling all the uncertain questions connected with our finales. /i £-f I y-

Now,

he is anxious to pay all the public debt in that kind of money, and have it issued by the busbel, tr in any other way so that lar^e quantities of it are put in circulation. •iV'V I

"IN a multitude of counsellors there is safety," is an old adage, which is contradicted by another, more homely, namely, that "Too many .pooks spoil the broth,"— The United State* seem t«. be in iT fair way to test which of! these proverbs is in03t reliable as applied to the subject of the finances. We are likely to have plenty'of advice asf^Tthe best methods oT ti ding through our difflcultias, and if among them we strike upen the proper one we will be lucky. Th6 essay of E'.be rt Walker, Secretary of the Treasury under a former administration, and which W9 ha«6 referred hur^tofore i* still being Siscussed by the newspapers in many localities. He thinks he has a right to protest against an improper financial policy, becaus^'lie Was the agent of the Unified States in Europe for the sale of 5 20 bonds dufte^thV war, and was successful in that undertaking, which triumph, he says, is to be ascribed to the circumstance that be addressed the Germans, who were tbe principal lenders to-the United States, having power, by authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, to promise that the bohds should be paid in gold. THu3tuiple idea

Mr. Walker is, tb»t the govern

ment uught to put an end to all project of repudiation Such as urged by Pendleton and Butler, by borrowing in Europe two hundred an& fifty millions in-gold, wTm'h afiabutit, together with the gold and regal tender ia tbe Treasury, would be sufficient to redeem the whole of the greenback curency, and bring back specie payments at once. This amount, Mr. Walker says, being very large, could not be borrowed in'this ccuntry without such a monetary exhaustion as would produce disturbance, a contraction, and a terrible revui$6n.—• He says it must be acquired by a foreign 10«n~in order t6 Save US fJOTi loss and ruin at home. Unless th if IS'done, he is of opinion that contraction must continue here, grefcUyJte theinjury "of.the oountry, which would also be oppressed by immoderate taxitibri *th(£rfew i^,-he' is of opinion, eould be got at a par in Germany.'

Next to this would be, as a measure ot safety and relief

:th/

reduction of taxa

tion, confining it to a few articles of luxury, which ought to yield enough to pay tbe interest on the debt and the debt and the public' expenses, and giro something toward the reduction of the public debt Cdfttoending at first with the compara-" lively sma!l"S&m Of otM» ««llion of dollars for the lret ye*~, Mr. Walker would pay two millions in thp second year, and go on adding a million for each year, until in the yeajQlSOO, the

pay meats would

amount to thirtyft¥ .millions. By this means more than five hundred millions of dollars would be paid off at that time.— In the same period, Is calculate^ apccrd-
