There was, however, no loundatlon for the report. It seems that Mr. Sharklen, of the firm ol Place A Co., was president of the bank, which portion bo resigned after the failure ef the hrm, and Mr. Trumeo, a citizen of high standing, e’ected In bis stead. The bank Is not in the least affected, and meets all Its demands promptly. Messrs, Place A Co.’s liabilities amount to two millions; assets arc estimated at about fi600,000. — Chief Juetlec Chase and General Uutler have had a conference on political matters. —The department clerks have commenced a raid for Increaaed pay. They are calling upon members of Congress as fast as they come la, and urging their claims for additional com* pensatlon. —By Invitation of prominent citizens, lion. George ff.

He will meat with an anthnalaattc reception. —The apeclal to the Cincinnati Commercial says : Judging from the outside conversation of member*, little will be done toward lmpeachment, while there Is a general disposition to discuss, at as early a day as possible, the financial question. In this particular it may be mentioned that Senator Sherman says that Congress will probably repeal the authority by which the Secretary of the Treasury has f»cen contracting the currency four millions per month. —The .■National Republican Executive Committee will meet In Washington on the I Itb cf 1 *« i ember to decide upon the place of holding the next Presidential Nominating Convention. Governor Ward, chairman, is now In Wa>hington. It is generally conceded that the West will be choset, and a lively competition has sprung up between (Cincinnati, St. l/uiis and Chicago. Next to the question of lixlng a place, the most Important subject before the committee will be the time for holding the convention. - It Is understand that Speaker Colfax has expressed a determination to make all needed changes In the organization of the principal committees to put each In the most efficient condition to perform Its special work. To do this, ho will be obliged to disregard the custom of organizing the committees with regard to the supposed relative claims of different lections, or personal claims of members to precedence. He will also have regard to se. curing rigid economy through the action of the committees. —Tne Washington Star, says tbar Chief Justice Chase will be in Richmond on Monday next, and charge the grand jury, but will not remain there longer than one day, as he will return here to preside at the United States Supreme Court, which meets on Monday week. A new indictment will be found against Davis, but It Is very probable that the trial will be postponed until next May. Mr. Kvurts, who has been employed by the Attorney General, will represent him, and it Is v cay likely that he will consent to a postponement. as many desire that Chief Justice Chase shall preside at the trial when it takes place. The counsel for the defense undoubtedly will object to some of the couuta in the new Indictmrr ♦.

Solicitor Jorditn on Tenure of Office Hlll-F.lc. WAsiiiNfiTOX, Thursday, November 21. Secretary McCulloch has called on Solicitor Jordan for an opinion on the tenure of office bill, as it relates to the Treasury Department. The Solicitor states th it ho is of the opinion that the law applicable to that Department commences to-day and not at the next session of Congress, and tho names of parties designated, together with the evidence and reasons of suspension must be sent In within the next twenty day*. The tern pot ary convention given during the recess of Congress will be the limitation which will expire at the end cf the present session, namely, the :50th Instant. By order of General Grant the chief mustering and disbursing office, for the State of New York, will be discontinued on or before the 16th proximo. Secretary McCulloch stated to-day that bis report would not be sent to Congress until the day after the 1’residenl's message In Decem-

ber.

It is generally believed that the cotton tax will be repealed. The list of claims pending before tbe Court of Claims, up to July 17, was about fifteen hundred. Number of judgments rendered since March. 186.1, was three hundred, of which one Hundred and ninety were dismissed. The claims allowed will amount to over one and a half million dollars. A. E. Kindall, special agent of the Treasury Department, leaves here In a few day* to make an Inspection tour among the various ports of entry In Texas. A petition was presented In the Senate today. by Sumner, of twenty-six white citizens, asking for equality proportion of the employment upon the Govornment work* in the District of Columbia, to lie given to colored laborers. The petition was referred to the Committee on District of Columbia. Tbe following Is an abstract of the report of General Pope to General Grant, concerning operations in the Third Military District, Irom the 1st of April, 1807: After alluding to the fact that when lie nsaumed command he was without instruction as to the construction of the reconstruction acts under which he was appointed, the conclusions at which he arrived, upon careful study of the acts themaelve*, and being strengthened In his conclusions by the interpretation* of the act* In the veto message of the President of the United State*, that he understood tt to be the purpose of the reconstruction act* to give the people a fair opportunity to reconstruct their own State government* in tbe manner therein specified, and that a reglstraiion of voters was to be made under the direction cf the military commanders, and elections held in accordance with the specific provisions of the act tn question. All the powers necessary to do these things, he believed, wa* conferred upon him by the reconstruction acts on the subject of civil administration. The General give* various order* issued by him, beginning with General Order No. 1, which, he says, specifically asserts the status of civil officers in their relations to the Constitution and tho reconstruction act*, and is the basis of all other onion issued by him in rala. tion to civil affair*. Tbe report then takes up the correspondence between General Pope and Provisional Governor Jenkln*, relating to Ids souse of hi* position by publMy using bis Influence against reconstruction. Ol the character of the civil- officers, tbe General says: They were elected at a time when It was almost Impossible for Union men to obtain office—tbe principal qualification seeming to have been is the service in aid of

rebellion.

The exceptions to this rule were from the

mass. Office holder* were, therefore, hoatlle to the reconstruction acts, and offered all the opposition they could conxlatent with their own safety, '^hls rendered tbe difficulty of executing the act* of Congress almost Insurmountable. These officer* could have been relieved, and harmony between the military and civil authorities thus been secured, but nothing less than wholesal removal would have accomplished the purpose. To avoid the confusion which would have followed from so sweeping a measure, the second and third

paragraphs of this order were made. ThcGcneral then states his reason for issuing

orders forbidding Government advertising to be given to disloyal newspapers. It was almost impossible to till civil offices which became vacant on account of tbo opposition of the disloyal press, which denounced them in terms of unscrupulous anil unqualified abuse.

All person* who accepted appolnments at

tbe bands or the military authorities, calling down upon them the hostility of the people, attempting to degrade them In the eyes of their neighbors, and encouraging acts of wroag and outrage towards them, become nearly Impracticable, and in the midst of tbla storm of abuse it Is difficult to find persona willing to accept such appointment*, although people were absolutely suffering In their buslnesa Interests from want of proper law officers, as these disloyal papers, everywhere outside the cities, owe their existence solely to the patron-

age of tbe .State and county officers. 1 considered It necessary to tbe Interest*

ef the people, and the maintenance of civil government, to prohibit c^vll officers from eontributlag official support to auch newspa-

pers.

Tbe General then submits hup orders In Jelatton to tbe Mobile rtotsj and explains at great length bis action concerning them. He says he has removed very few civil officers, and has done so m almost every case only for refusing compliance with bis orders, and haa appelated of vll officer* to fill vacancies only. The General concludes by a long account of bis action in regard to registration, and gives bis explanation of tbe large expenditures tor carrying out the work of reconstruction, and ■aya a further aum of |20,000 will be needed. The full correspondence of Generals Grant, Sheridan and Sickles will soon bo brought to light, as It Is understood a resolution has been

Tbe ZTeraW* H avana special lays: A dm! rat Tegethoff haa received a private letter from the Mexican minister, tendering an escort of Government troops for Maximilian’s body to Vera Cruz, at the national expenae. All public demonstration, however, both on Mexican soil or within Mexican maritime Jurisdiction, were forbidden. Congress convened on the twentieth, when there was a quorum of Repreaentativea pres-

ent.

President Juarez waa preparing a defence of the use which be made of the discretionary power*. It bail been stated that be asked for tbe forces belonging to Escobedo’s command, which are to come to tbe capitol. Tbe reasons for this demand are left unexplained, but it Is surmised that It Is owing to tbe large force, said to be about fourteen thousand and thirty plccea of artillery, which General Diaz has at command. A Cuban, who has for some time been a resident of Vera Cruz, says be foresees revolution, soon again, in Mexico; probably about next January. General Merino was assassinated on the Collioline roai. About two hundred officer* and men, who served in the fleets of Admirals Farragut and Porter, at the fall of New Orleans, met last evening, for the purpose of devising measures to recover eight millions of prize mosey, to which they conceive they and their comrades are entitled. An organization was completed, and contribution* made to a fund to carry out tbe objects. Wood, the newly appointed collector of the third Internal revenue district, took possession of his office Tuesday afternoon, and made a clean sweep of the deputies and clerks, and appointed as his deputy a lawyer who has defended many parties whose sfr'» have been seized for being run in violati'** cf the Internal revenue laws. The Time*' special says some of the members are to-night talking about a caucus tomorrow night, but it I* a forgone conclu‘ion that the House will adjourn to morrow until Mov uay, that as little business can be inlated this season, there does not seem to be any occasion for one. Seme members, however, are anxious to forestall tbe action of the House on Impeachment. District Attorney Chandi-r. of Virginia, who Is still here, »ays that Jeff. Davis Is expected to reach Richmond to-morrow night, and that be. Chandler, know* of no reason why the trial can not proceed next week. General Grant’s reporta have been completed and submitted some days and they are tbe first of the department reports ready for the President. Thd Herald'* special says the Chief Justice Mrc* considerable attention to financial matter*. and he thinks the time Is not far distant when the Government will have returned to specie payment, when, he coaGders all the United States bonds will be redeemed iu specie. On the subject of an uniform enrrency tbe world over, he is at present much interested. lie also thinks tbe banking syntem of this country will be adopted by tbe rest of the world. He considers tbe experiment here ha* proven it* practicablity. Tbe IPorlcTa special says: The Judiciary Committee, last n’ght, resolved to report at once on the impeachment queatlon. A vote on the question as to whether the snplemental vote, taken since tbe July ‘e*»ion warranted Impeachment was taken by the committee, standing four for to five against. The Tribune's special says: Mr. Kelsey, one of the ableat lawyers in the House, has prepared a bill to introduce, the effect of which is to suspend official* while being tried for impeachment.

Mr. Sumner asked unanimous consent to in-

troduce a hill for tho further security of equal

rights in th* District of Columbia. He stated that it was an exact c<

exact copy of a bill

psaeed at the last session, but not returned by the President. It therefore became necessary

to again pass it.

The bill reads as follows:

Be it enacted, etc., Tbat tbe word white, wherever it occurs In the laws relating to the District of Columbia, or in the charter or ordinances of tbe city of Washington or Georgetown, and operative as a limitation, in said cities, to hold any office or be selected to se.-is as juror, be and tbe same are hereby repealed; and it shall be unlawful for any person or officer to enforce or attempt to enforce said limitation after the passage of this act. Mr. Davis objecting, it was laid over. Mr. Williams Introduced a joint resolution amendatory to the joint resolution approved June 27,1866, authorizing the court of claims to rediear and examine for adjudication tbe claims of Richard W. Meade, deceased. Re-

ferred to Judiciary Committee.

Mr. Edwards offered tbe following resolution, which waa read, laid on the table, and ordered printed; he would call it up at an early day, and hoped it would paas with entire

unanimity:

Wiibrbas, The public debt of the United States waa, except where otherwise specially provided, contracted and incurred upon the faith and credit of the United States; that the same would be paid or redeemed in coin or its equivalent: therefore, Jtotoloea, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United St iles of America, in Congresss assembled. That the public debt of the United States, except in the cases wherein the law authorizing the sale, where 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:

Resolved, That th& Secretary of the Treasury be directed to communicate, for the Information of tbe Senate, any facta or reports in possession of the Department relating to the

repeal of the tax on cotton.

Mr. Grimes moved that when the Senate ad-

journ, it be to Monday. Carried.

The negative vote of Mr. Brooks was read with laughter and remark*, that he wonid have to be eon verted again. Messrs. Bigbee, Axtell and Johnson, of CaU ifornfa; Washburn of Indiana, and Washborne sCUUsoia, appeared and were sworn

Mr. Eldridge then renewed his motion, that the credentials ef Pokes be referred to the committee on elections together with the Dun-

can letter.

Mr. Schenck, of Ohio, said he wanted no more of this sort ot thing to' members fri m Mr. Brooks, who had just shown bv his vote that he had been trifling with the House. Hie object was to set some party trap, which had, however, sprung and caught himself, than for the purpoee of Inquiring in o rights of^nember to take nia seat. Ha waa glad that the House in the caae of Mr. Muilin, had carried out the precedes* established in the Kentucky case, giving credit to the statement of a member, Brooks, to which his own conduct showed him not entitled to as he hod voted against his own proposition, he wee opposed to the reference of Mr. Stokes’ credentials, as that gentleman had shown his loyalty by fighting under the old

flag.

Mr. Morgan inquired if the fact that Stokes had fought valiantly under the flog, entitled him to take the test oath. Mr. Sefceack, replied that he was not conscience keeper of Mr. stokee; that was a matter entfrsly for himself. Mr. Randall contrasted the actu. of the Republican members in the Kentncky case, «• ut their present action, and asked how they could reconcitn their practical inconsistencies. Mr. Dawes dosed the debate by moving the previous question, which was seconded, and the resolution of Mr. Eldridge was rejected. So Stokes’ credentials were not referred. Mr. Brooks then submitted a resolution to refer the credentials of Mr. Mullins to the Committee on Elections, and sent to the clerk’s desk, and had read, a letter from a lieutenant in the Twelfth United States infantry, supporting the statement made in respect to that case. Referring to tbe remark of Mr. Logan, he said the only difference between Logan and himself was that at the beginning of the war Logan waa a terrible copperhead, and be a Union man, while now Logan was a terrible disunion man and Jacobin, and himself still a Union man. As to the remarks ot Scbenck, that gentleman waa not a very amiable person. He had not that suavity ef man-

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

The House assembled at noon. Tbe attendance of members wu unusually large, and tbe galleries were crowded before eleven—many ladies being accommodated in the gentlemen’s gallery. Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, was in his seat, apparently in as good physical condition as at tbe last session. The proceedings opened with prayer by Chapliv Bay ton. Mr. Woodward, of Pennsylvania, and Carey, of (Jhlo, members elect, took the oath prescribed by law. Tbe eight members elect from Tennessee having been called by the Speaker to take the

oath—

Mr. Eldridge objected to administering the oath to M r. Stoke*, and moved that his credentials be referred to the Committee on Credentials. Mr. Brooks, of New Y’ork, objected to administering the oath to any of the Tennessee delegation, on the ground, first, that two if not more |of them, had been guilty of treason to the Government, and had taken the oath of allegiance to the confederate government and Jeff. Davis; and second, there does not now exist in the State of Tennessee, a republican form of government. (Loud laughter on the Republican side.] Mr. Brooks urged that the electoral law of Tennessee, disfranchised a msjorUy of the white citizen*. The whole vote of that State wu 140,000, and yet 100.000 voters had controlled the election, 66,000 of whom were negroes controlling the 45,000 white voters who were not dlafranchiaed. An oligarchy now existed and reigned in Tennessee. and the franchise law there wua disgrace to any republ can form of government; a dishonor to civilization, and a reprobation to all toms of republican self government. Mr. Brooks then stated bis special objections to tbe swearing of Mr. Butler because, as a member of tbe Legislature before and during tbe nb lilon, bad introduced, supported and voted for resolutions and measures proving bis disloyalty to tbe Hatted 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 Lincoln’s Cabinet u an act of hostility to tbe Soutn, and for calling a convention to Tennessee out ef the

Union.

Mr. Brooks quoted the precedenteotabifshad by tbe Republican side of the House lut July, In regard to tbe Kentucky members, and argued that they were now irrevocably bound

by It.

Mr. Brooks then objected to tbe swearing in of Mr. Mullins, on the ground that he had given aid and comfort to rebels, and had mode speeches In behalf of it, bad lent his aid and support to it, bad attempted to raise troop* for it, and made speeches in Bedford county in 1861, in which be 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 Lawrence county, Tennessee, a tannery which he devoted to supplying shoes

to rebel soldiers.

Mr. Brooks also objected to the swearing of Mr. Trimbell, saying that his Information was that if he voted at all on the .question of the secession of Tennessee ha voted tor taking it out of the Union. * „ . Mr. Trimbell, in his seat, assured Mr. Brooks tbat he had not done so. , , , .... Mr. Brooks accepted the denial, and withdrew his special objection to the swearing in

of Mr- Trimbell.

Mr. Eldridge then stated to the House th* grounds an which be objected to the sweaiing in of Mr. Stokes. It was that Mr. Stokes had admitted in toe house, on the twenty-seventh of January, 1866, to having written a letter to John Duncan, on the tenth of May, 1861, stating that be understood from Gross that misrepresentations were going the rounds of his section, in reference to his position, which he (Stokes) wished to correct—that he had bee* a zealous advocate of Union up to the time .that President Lmcoln called for seventy-live thousand troops, in violation of the law, for the subjugation of the South; that he commended Governor Harris, of Tennessee, for his course, and for arming the State

would’aggrsvate existing complication of the East, tbe Imperial Cabinet will be always pre-

pared to take part in any European concerted action having for it* object the solution of these difficultie*. It ha* toe firm conviction tbat such concentrated action could have for its oMact only a work ot equity worthy Christian powers, conforaldabie to the general interest of peace and dvilizatfon, before whteh all politic*! and sxclustv# views should yield.

the House. Brooks then defended his course In regard to the subjact before the House. Mr. Shellabarger said he would not discuss tbe proposition whether tbe House might disregard the requirements of the test oath law. Tbe House would be doing a most dangerous thing if ft let down the high and Important requirements of the test oath for the members on either tide. It should hold up in the utmost good faith the standard to where the law had placed it, and require that such vigilance be brought to bear as will see that no man shall be sworn who coaid not properly take it. Ho would not consent to bis colleague, Mr. Schenck’s, proposition, that Mr. Stakes 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 he would hare permitted him to take the oatb, but would have the next moment moved to expel him for manifest perjury. Mr Shellabarger resuming, argued that the resolution to refer Mr. Mullins’ credentials should be adopted. Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, opposed the rosoiutien on the ground principally that the charge against Mr. Mullins was made simply on an unsworn statement contained in a letter of a person unvouched for. Mr. Dawes, on behalf of Mr. Mullins, entered a foil and complete den'-al by that gentleman of all matters alleged in the letter, and submitted it to the House. The resolution was rejected unanimously, and the Tennneseee members, except Butler, were called before the Speaker’s chair and had the test oath solemnly administered to them. The Speaker laid before the House letters from the secretary of the Territory of New Mexico stating that he was forced to sign the certificate of election of Mr. Cheaver, as delegate, but his apparent majority was made up by frauds. He was elected by a majority of 1,103 votes. Delegates from Montana Washington Territories were sworn. The Speaker announced the next business m order to be the execution of an order made on the 20th ft July, that the Judiciary Committee report forthwith on the question of imptachment. _ .. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, ehslrmm of the Judiciary Committee stated, by direction of the committee, that its report was not yet completed, but would be on Monday, at which time the committee design submitting their report, together with the evidence and the views of the minority. In making this statement he represented the views of every member of the committee. The House postponed, till Monday, the execution of the order. Mr. Robinson, of New Y’ork, submitted, as a question of privilege, a resolution reciting that Charles F. Adams, United States Minister to Great Britain, has been charged with neglect of duty towards our citizens in England and Ireland, in failing to secure their rights as such citizens, and instructing the Committee on Foreign Affaire to inquire into such charges and to report thereon forthwith, to the end that if such charges be true articles ot impeachment may be presented against him, by the House, to the Senate. Also, requesting the President to telegraph to Mr. Adams to demand his passport to return home. Also, to instruct the Secretary of State to communicate ail correspondence to the State department, on the subject of the arrest, imprisonment, trial or conviction of persons being or claiming to be American citizens in Great Britain or Ireland, to be considerd in secret session of the House tf necessary. Mr. Speaker held that as the resolution proposed tbe impeachment of an officer, it was a privileged question, Mr. Robinson proceed to debate the cases of Colonels Warren and Nagle, who are under arrest in Ireland. After proceeding for some time, he yielded for a motion to adjourn. On motion of Mr. Washburne, of Illlnoi®, it was ordered that the House adjourn until Monday. The Speaker stated that be would on Monday, unless otherwise directed by the House, announce the standing committees for the present Congress. A leave of absence was granted to Schofield on account of the Illness of his family. Mr. Kelsey asked leave to introduce a bill, declaring tbe effect of the impeachment by the House of Representatives, of president, vicepresident, or any civil officer, Mr. Eldridge objected. Gn the motion of Mr. Pike, the secretary and treasurer were directed to report the number of employees employed as special agents or detectives for compensation, in tbe locality, etc. On motion of Mr. Biair, the Committee of Ways and Means was directed to inquire Into the expediency of repealing the taxes on cotton. . . Mr. Cobb asked leave to offers resolution instructing the Joint Committee on Retrenchmen t to inquire nto the New Y’ork whisky frauds. Mr. Spanlding objected, and said the resolution was too long. Mr. Farnsworth asked leave to offer a resolution providing for taking the census in the rebellious States. Mr. Chandler objected. Mr. Logan asked and was excused from further service on the Committee on Retrenchment. Mr. Mullen, of Tennessee, made some remarks in denial of a letter which had been Th^Uouse, at four o’clock, adjourned till Monday.

Third—Those who shall have been convict-ed-ot treason, embezzlement in office or crime punishable by law with imprisonment in the penitentiary or bribery. Fourth -No idiot or insane person shall be permitted to register or vote in'the State.

party.

Resolutions were adopted expressing entire satisfaction with the military administration of Major General John Tope, and tendering him the thanks of the people of Alabama for the firm and impartial course he has pursued. Three votes were gi\ eu against these resolutions. Several branches of the new constitution were considered and adopted, involving unimportant changes in tbe old constitution, except the creation of the office ef Lieutenant Governor.

In Brooklyn, and editor of tbe Frotestant Churchman, writing from London while tbe Pan-Angiiesn conference was in session, says: “ The American eye has grown quite familiar with the ‘ Lord Bishop ’ prefix to our American prelates. Tfie bishops of New Y’ork and Illinois have adopted the Episcopal dress, of cossack-shirt and knee breeches, for official occasions, while the assistant bishop of Indiana has accepted the cossack-shirt as a part of his daily costume. We do not observe that any have adopted as yet the Episcopal looped hat.”
