Boule has given the Argus jh houis to retract, or the proprietors wid bo called to answer in the couns. Toe Republicans are happy to-night, ami report their secret caucus this evenina as very satisfactory. It was a meeting for conference, to setilo clearly thv -various poluts hitherto partially obcnre. They will act tfgtner a one man. The memhersi ot the council are of the opinion tnat their term of oillce has expired, though it will complicate aiTalr-i somewhat lu regard to Hpubiicao members, as tlie constitution piovldes that the oath of office shall be administered belore the governor and council. Th , Republicans are ready to qua ify, and it Is claime i thr-y cah do so to-morrow before a justice of thV supreme court or belore a justice of the pece for their State, 4nt should the members fall ef qualification, the Fusionlsts are without a quorum, and no btislnes transacted wlil be legal, swann.of Mlnat, and Hurriman, of Kcnuehnnk, members ol the House, will publish cards tomorrow, testifying that Wallace 11.
