BY LAST NIGHT'S EXPRESS. We are indebted to the Southern Expresa Company for Baltimore and Washington papers of the 4th. Proceedings in Congress on the 3d. fi O'A TE. The Committee on Finance reported acaicst the bill extending the timo for the collection of the incomo tax. The resolution direc lng Inquiry to be made, to ascertain whether any persons have oeen appointed in the Pott offi o or Treasury Departmonts nince last December who have not taken the oath pres .ribed by Congress, was taten np and debated. It was finally passed by a vote of 25 to fl. A bill was passed authorizing toe President to tracsfur a gunboat to the Bepnblic of Liberia. The bill incorporai ing the District of Columbia Canal and Sewerage Company was taten up. Several amendments were agreed to, and the bill was then recommitted to the Committee oa the D's trie t of Columba. A bill was passed -to facilitate the settlement of the accounts ot the Treasurer of the UnltedBtates, and to secure certain moLeys to the people of the United States, or to whom they are due, and who aro entitled ,to the same." This bid provides that all amounts standing ti the credit of tho Treasurer ot the United States, or of any disbursing officer Of the Government, to r.-et checks, drafu or other evidences of indebtedness, which have been issued over three years, shsU bc deposited to the credit of a special fend to be called "outstanding liabilities," and that such officer or efflcers be released from responsibility on account of such evidences of in? debtedness, and that the holders thereof there? f ter bo obliged to applv to the Government for a warrant for the uettlenieat of their olaim-1. A number of bills relating to the District of Columbia were taken up and passed. The Senate resumed con? sideration of tho Hill to reorganizo the Judiciary of tho United States. Au amendment reducing the amount on which an appeal could be taken to the Supreme Court from ten to live thousand dollars, was rejected by a vote of 21 to 13.

James Brooks not entitled to the seat In tho House. The evidence in this case makes ovor one thousand printed pages. A minority report, signed by Messrs.

Mr. Dawes made a speech in favor of tho minority report. The cace was then laid over until to? day. A bill establishing a National Bureau of Educa? tion was reported from the select committee on that subject. It was ordered to be printed and recommitted. The Bouse then adjourned. It was rumored at Waahlngton, on the 3d, that tho decision of the Supreme Court on tho "Test Oath" would be postponed.

INSIDE OP THE WHITE HOUSE. POSITION O? THU If EMBERS OF THE CABINET-WHAT TU Kl Titras AND BAT ABOUT fcEOOSST AUCTION. A correspundent of the Cincinnsti Commercial, vt riting from Washington, makes some interesting statenieuta relative to the President and the members of his Cabinet, acme of which we present below. He express.* the opinion that Congress and tho President will i ever har? monize, but that they will remain asuuder and divided, even unto the end : A BABEL OK OPIMOS. Pass through any crowd at the struct corner or ;?t Wil lard's, and you will hear excited dla ussion and conten? tion. Tho excitement does nut abate; oieh day lint aids fuel to tho flame. The most outrageous charges are made openly against the President on the streets, and by the clerks lu the departments. "Andy Johnson is a* great a traitor," exclaims one, "as Jeff. Davis." Another exclaims, "He's drunk half the time, and don't know what he's doing " A third, 'Hohadthe d.dlrlum tre? mens- he sees snakes." Theo, on the other hand, with flashing eye and burn? ing cheek, the President is warmly, caruostly and intel? ligently defended. To these charges they respond: '?You are a d-d fool ; there isn't a purer, truer man ou this earth than Andrew Johnson. Did he so gal lantly battle these traitors for Ave years, yea, all his lite, to turn traitor now?" "show me where, in a single In? stance, he has gone back on any principle or sentiment he baa ever avowed! Place your finger upon a single act of bis that is untrue to tho country or the party that elected him." "Admit that his speoch of February 22 was unwise and in bad tinto jet oven In that, where is tbe sentiment or principle that tho Unlou mon of this country do not, or at the time of bis oleotiun, did not endorse)" And all the crowd keep silence It is the babel of opinion hero-a political chaos. No two prominent men think sliko. Congress ls very weak and powerless, bcoiuse there is DO unity of purpose or aoUon lu that body. WHAT cuir.r JUST rcs cimit minas. The Chief Justice I* frank aud outspoken lu his opie Uns. He believes that the President Is honest and patriotic, but that ho ?turted wrong in hid work of restoration or reconstruction; thst bav ng buildol upon an untenable foundation, hi* Fuperstructuro, his policy, mu-t fall and f ill. Ur. Chase fools a warru personal friendship for tho Presl-'ent, and teela a deep sympathy lor him in tho trials and labors that are upon him. Uo w nid be glad to consult with the President at d aid him in the s lotion of these difficult questions; but the President dies not seek his advice, and probably dis? trusts him, and he th ere lore cannot volunteer his opin? ions i r aid. Mr. Ch -so does rot think that Cou gross and tho Presi? dent will ever harraobize. IIB SIWARD. Mr. Seward ls equally free tu the expression of his rplblon on shs present status of affairs. Hois essen? tially conservative, and with the President in bis poli? cy. He believes tbatthn Southern people are aoting la good faith in .his work of reconstruction ; that they are, from their past history ani life, acting aa we must ex? pect they would act; that, with their feelings aud knowl? edge, we could have anticipated no thin ir else. They can net change in a day. Their principles, feelings and beUeia are tho growth of year?. He believes that an wiU como out tight; that the Union party rac not bs destroyed, as thor* ? ill nlways be in thu ooc.try a ma? jority of its peoolo in favor of the nnlty and Integrity of this n'oublie, ami who will find means to make known their wishes for tho maintenance of the Constitution and the pri< dples upon which this Government ls based, "?.ne name of this party is very Immaterial He say* -h a If yon look at the class of man who have been elote a* 'ec brra of Congress andStsna'ors from the rec H meted States, yon will find th st they are not se v. i?

"As forme," saysMr.JSoward, "I am constitutionally one of tho hopeful lind. ? Dean Swift," said he, "who was something of a statesman as well as a divine, said that in every government vere were two classes of men-those who always believe* in and hoped for (ho very best, and those who always despaired of any good and feared the worst; and that the tSjm ? oaanout half way betweon the two.

I have a firm faith in an overman g Prov, idonoe that will bring us through this coolest, aa it did through the struggle of arms just closed.? int. DENNISON. } Mr. Dennison, Postmaster (icnor.il, sees everything couleur de rote; believes that Congress abd the Presi? dent will harmonize; that just at this ame there ls a dark oloud in the political horizon which'casts sombre shadows upon political affairs; but, with the eyes ol hope, he penetrates beyond this cloud and sees the sun of triumph lighting up thc view. Ho dses not believo that the President intends or desires tr?tieparata from the Union party, but that the present oftest is some? thing like tbe Wado and Davis attack upon Mr. Lin coln, with the exception that Mr. Johnson does-' nut show the wisdom sud equanimity manifested by Mr. LInooln In his contest. Ho believes Mr. Johnson is equally pure, true, and pi trio tic, and dostrea very earnestly that unity and harmony may speedily coma Ho desires to remain in his present place, and will work to maintain harmony and to keep that place; but it maybe put do ten as a fixed fact, that wherever the President goes, Mr. Dennison will always be found within the Limbs of tho Onion party, Mr. Dennison ls gentlemanly and yield? ing to a fault; but underlying ail this softness and pla? cidity, there is a granitic strata that isgenulae and true, and that can always bo trusted. ?ut. irn-D ATT-?n?r-rr <n-ySU.VL, is unqualifiedly with th- Bad-cats of Congieas on tho question of negro suffrage, and opposed to fhe policy cf the President. Mr. Speed ls dlsa-eet la thfexpression of his oolnlons; does not unnecessarily harass or op? pose the President, but stands firmly by his convictions of what he believes to be the true principies lu this contest. 1 int. STANTON. Mr. Stanton is reticent, loots a good wey ahead, and under no circumstances will exercise b's pow* r to pat men untrue to the Union party or the country Into piaca and power. He ls staunch and true, but politic; ls in? clined to stand by and go with the President, but does not agree with him lu all his measures and policy. In a conversation with a gentleman, the other day, he said . I cannot promise - ou ii?:? action for the future; my tenure of offloo is uncertain; tv change may tako place any day. I could not romain here, and would not, lt required to make any appointments, or to aid la any act contrary to my principles and convictions." It has been urged upon Mr. Stanton by members of Congress to hold oa to the offion till he ls put out; if a struggle comes between tho President and the Cabinet, aot to yield an inch, for th\t th? Senate wonid nc* con? firm any successor whom Mr. Johnson might sp pom*, THE FACTS. 1. The President does not get drank ; ls temperate and abstemious in ali his hiblts; does Bot touch liquor of any kind, and bas not sinoe tho day of the Iu?ugora? tion. 3. He is going to have every man who holds office un? der him support him and hi*-tne*iure\ bi? "policy" as set forth lu nts 22d uf February spcrcb. ii!, vetajhrt bis mear-age. Tri?se who do not support him, and who take Bidet with the Badlcols In Congress. Iud better look out for the FxccuUve axe, for it will surely falL 4. Andrew Johnson ls as honest and patriotic a man as i i ves on tho earth. Ho 1? just as combatif. jnd stub? born aa he is hon st. 6. Doar to him na lils li'st-born, yea, precious as thc hr-ath of Ult nostrils, ii his "policy." Before his de t-rmination to sustain and curry through that policy, all othei considerations mnstgodown. 'lo th .t ' pulley" be would sacrifico the rahm P'rly wee it necessary. Ho would sacrifico any and all personal friendships yea, his very li'o woula weigh n tbing ia the ecsles again-this de'orraiuation to carry it through. Wi y? because ho has, after long days sud week; a d months of ear nos t thought, study and prayer, concluded that th? salvation cf hi- country and welfare of the p;op!c depend upon it. Howover much wo may differ with him in judgment, we can but admire his Spartan heroism and dauntless courage "What 1B the President's'policy,'unon which ho ls risking to much?" many inquire. "What ls this chi? mera, this phantom, ttiis itpiis fatuut 'policy' that ls leading tho President this wild dance?" That I cannot fully answer. HU ?uesiage, veto and speech will best gtvo it. The principal ingredients of that policy are: 1. That the constitutional rights of thc Staten and thc people theroof shall not be Infringed or trampled apon by the genoral government. 2. That tho btatcs have the right to determine for thnmselve- tho qual li ea '.lon nf voters, and that Iho gen? eral government eau no more lntenero with that right in 9oath Carolina than In Massachusetts. 3. That whenever u mcmbor of Congress from any? one of the thirty-six States presents hlmielf for u seat in Congress, and can tike tho oath ?iroicribed for oachand every member of that body, Congress has no right to exclude him; that Congress can prescribe rulos tliut will apply to all Its members, but cannot invidiously legis? late agalust members from sections ol the country, or that only apply to u port of that body or a part of the States. 4. Ho does not believe In the Stevens doctrino of "Stati suicide" 5. ile ls opposed to negro suffrage at this time; thinks they aro unfitted for, and havo not tba requisite capacity to lutollljontly ex.relee that sacred yet dangerous privi? lege.
