WASHINGTON, January G_The Republican mem? bers of the House of Representatives held a cau? cus at the Capitol to-night. About sixty Represen? tatives were present. Spaulding, of Ohio, offered a resolution that no measure looking toward the impeachment of the President of the United States should be presented in tho House unlees previous? ly agreed upon by a caucus. This was amended by providing that before any final action by the caucus the subject should be referred to the Com? mittee on Judiciary. Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, moved an amendment that no articles ?f impeachment should be preferred without first being considered by a caucus. This was adopted. Mr. Stevens moved that the whole subject be laid upon thc table. The'question was determin? ed in the negative by a vote of nearly two ter ono. The'original resolution, as amended, was agreed to by a largo majority. There was much inciden? tal debate between Bingham, Stevens and others, on the legal question involved, namelv: Whether an impeachment could be partly tried by the Son ate of the 39th Congress; also, whether the House of Representatives of the 39th Congres? could pre? fer articles of impeachment to he tried by the Sen? ate of the 40th Congress; or whether, should arti? cles of impeachment bo now preferred and that not concluded at the expiration of the present Congress, they would have to be renewed in the 40th Congress. Mr. Stevens took the ground that the Senate did not expiro with the Congress, on the 4th of March next, it being a perpetual body. Mr. Bingham replied, arguing that as one-third of the present Senators would go out on tho 4th of March, the President could not afterward continue to be tried by a Senate composed of one-third new members on articles partially tried by the pre? ceding Senate. Mr. Stevens thought there was ample time for this Congress to act in tho matter. He was, how? ever, not in favor of hastening a subject of so much importance too rapidlv, and then yielding after preferring charges. Members of Congress should have time to give tho subject- d . o delibera? tion. He believed that it ought to bo done, but was not willing to join in it unless-it should be performed thoroughly and certainly. Mr. Spaulding, of Ohio, opposed the proposed action very earnestly, and did not believo any good could result from it. Mr. nigby. of California, thought it tho most momentous question that hnd been presented for the consideration of the members of tbisJCongress,, and deprecated any hasty action. Mr. Washburno,. of Illinois, did not think im ^Leachment possible;' and while ho believed the ^President did many things that were objoctiona ' ble, he thought that the question of impeachment should bo referred to a standing Committee, in order to have it regularly and dispassionately con? sidered. .The debato between these gentlemen was ex? tremely spirited. Bingham speaking in his usual impulsive style, and Mr. Stovene exhibiting a cor? responding degree of.earnestness.. Iney .became personal in their remarks. The caucus, however, was in the main harmonious. There appeared to he generally a disposition to vote for any inquiry into the matter as to whether the President should oe impeached, while a large number were of opinion that the President ought to be impeached. Mr. Bingham made the point that article.*, of im? peachment for tho reason ho had prov?ously sta? ted should not bo preferred during the present Congress for want of time ; and reminded gentle? men that the trial of Warren Hastings lasted seven years. It waa finally determined that no resolution look? ing towards the impeachment of the President should .be adopted unless sanctioned by a vote of two-thirds of the Republican members in caucus ; that in the meantime, all resolutions on the sub? ject should be referred to tho Judiciary Committee of the House without debate. The caucus was in session two hours, and then adjourned. GENERAL SEWS. : ?

GALVESTON, January 6.-A writ has been served on General Hentzleman by the Sheriff of Gauda loupe county, charging Hentzleman with offences against the tax laws. The General refused obedi? ence and, ia a letter, charged Judgo Ireland, who issued it, se being notoriously disloyal, and adds that he would not consider his life safe in the hands of the Texan legal authorities. Judge Baldwin, is an elaborate opinion, condemns Judge Ireland for issuing a writ againt a United States officer. Gov.

Tart of the Arkansas delegation visited Mr. STEVENS to-day. The interview is described as somewhat froBtj. Mr. STEVENS asked a number oi questions, and -'nquired of his visitors if among ihom they had seen his enabling act. Ho fur? nished a copy, and advised thom to study it, as it would be the policy of Congress-at least, he said, as the ruler of the Radicals, it is the policy which I shall support. The interview closed with an in? vitation to call to-morrow. The Arkansas delega? tion found little to comfort them in Mr. STEVENS' words, tone and manner. Mr. RICE, of Maine, was also visited. He received his visitors very politely, and talked quietly of the condition of the country. The dinner at Mr. SEW Aim's is des-ribed as a bril? liant affair, In addition to the delegation, a num? ber of invited guests and Colonol SEWARD were at table. During the evening every member of the Cabinet and General GRANT visited the delegation in Mr. SEWARD'S parlors. The conversation waa mainly political, but of a non-committal character. General GRANT ox Eressod himself more heartily than is his custom, oping for a speedy restoration of political and social relation. The members of tho delegation are much encouraged. They ?nd affairs more hopeful than they had expected, without receiving absolute assurance from any member. They aro satisfied that the Cabinet is a stubborn unit in opposition to Radical measures. Thor have no doubt of violent action in Congress, but they say the Republican party is by no means a uni :, and they have confidence in a returning power, more potent than two-third rules and Presidential vetoes. The reduction of a sovereign State to tho condition of territorial dependency, they think is repugnant to law, justice, and the Constitution, and sho cid the Radical policy find two-thirds of Congress in its favor, it w?l find a potent check in the Supreme Court. It is stated that STEVENS will introduce on Mon? day, a resolution instructing the Judiciary Com? mittee to prepare a bili declaring the Southern Districts in a state of siege, suspending the habeas corpjts, and providing military governments until the States are regularly admitted. _ 1 The Committee on revenue frauds aro hero, but will return to New York in a few days. They re- ' port frauds of the most astounding character as regards number and amount-manv of thom BO covered as to be past finding out. Tho Committee say their labor is endless, and they will recom? mend reduced rates so as to reduce the tempta? tion. WASHISOTON, January 6.-The Texan members of Congress publish, in to-morrow's Intouigenctr, five columns of an address to the people of the United States, setting forth the condition of Texan affairs, the reasons for her admission, Icc. Notwithstanding the action of the caucus last night, many Republicans urge the presentation of Ashley's resolution, and its pressuro ta a vote to? morrow. Prominent Southern Union mon, returned to? night from a tour of inspection through Tennosseo, Georgia aud the Carolinas, represent thc antipathy to the Constitutional Amendment as almost uni? versal, anda general disposition to abandon poli? tics, and not even send Senators or Representa? tives to Congress, but devote themselves to material prosperity. A petition to the President in behalf of Edmund Spanglcr, at Dry Tortugas, states that the evidence against him for complicity in the assassination conspiracy, waa feeble and contradictory, and that many witnesses were deterred from testifying in his behalf from terror. The Grand Lodge of Virginia recognizes the Union Lodge of Alexandria, which has heretofore been working under a dispensation from the Grand Lodgo of tho District oi Columbia, which was held to be clandestine. Thad. Stevens leaves to-morrow night for Har? risburg, to be present at the Senatorial election, the result of which is considered doubtful. CONGRESSIONAL. WASHINGTON, Janunry 0.-The Finance Com? mittee of the Senate considered the appoint? ments to-day, and made a proposition to reject them en masse, which was lost bv one vote. The committee fearing it would look like spite, have finally concluded that those formerly of the Republican party, who abandoned it to ob? tain office, be rejected. In otb. r cases where tho appointments had been given to those who had served ia the army or navy, or wore consistent Democrats and good officers, that conni- : ation be recommended- \ The House went into a Committee on the Whole SPAULDING,' of Ohio, took the ground that the adoption of the Constitutional Amendment by three-fourths of the loyal States made it a part of the Constitution, and its ratification or rejection by the South was only important as an indication of submission. He had made his canvass on ad? mission of Southern representa tires on the incor? poration of the amendment. SPAULDING could not be driven out of tho Republican party, but warned the President that a resort to extreme measures would produce reaction. The discussion then turned on the Tariff and the resumption of specie payments. STEVENS recur? ring to SPAULDrNo's proposition of admission on the incorporation of the amendment, said thc doc? trine was wrong and mischievous. If it was agreed the adoption of the amendment by three-fourths of the loyal States was sufficient, Congress stulti? fied itself by asking the rebel districts to ratify the amendment. He did not recognize the organiza? tion of the Southern States as governments ; that Congress proposed saying to those States you have no governments ; we repudiate all your govern? ments ; go on and form such-governments as Con? gress orders you to form. He had voted for the admission of Tennessee without regard to Amendment, but added that the disloyal States were not States, they were our conquered provinces, having in their Capitols cer? tain municipal institutions not yet disturbed, but which Gongreso could And would disturb; flo would vote far the admission af no State whose Constitu? tion forbids negro votes. Referring to "excTrisibn'?F negro votes in Pennsylvania and other Northern States, he said they ought to blush for the infamous exclusion. He had said nothing in the House looking to the impeachment of the President,.but he regretted; however, that he-had been held back so long, because the President waa a? obstruction to ail loyal action, and an eye-sore to all loyal men except the gentleman from Ohio, Mr. SPAULDING. MEXICAN AFFAIRS. WASHINGTON, January 6.-Ari official letter re-' ceived at the Juarez legation here from him, da'?d December'15, says he would leave that day for Durango, en route for Zacatecas, and that instead of going by Monterey he would proceed to San Luis and Gcanaxuato, ready to enter the City of Mexico on ita evacuation by the French.

[FEOM OUB SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, j WASHINGTON, January 2,1867.-New Year's Day yesterday was rather more of a success in Wash? ington than Christmas. The latter was cold, un? eventful and deserted. New Year's, on the con? trary, bristled all ovor with good cheer, and became a great and attractive feature the moment the way-farer's feet turned towards the President's, or the residences of any of his Cabinet. Every? body turned out about eleven o'clock to call on the President, and that duty done, everybody placed their own houses in order, and prepared to receive all that came. The President's reception was indescribably brilliant, embracing, aa it did, the presence of tho diplomatic corps in the re? galia of the respective court? represented, and j several hundred army and navy officers. The general public woro very largely in attendance, and among tho crowd was a solitary negro. Mr. Johnson smiled, took the darkey by the hand, and the latter went on his way in an ecstacy of negro j delight. Last year the concourse of colored peo? ple that waited on the White House was very large. It is probable that they have been taught to expect that the President is going to veto the Universal Suffrage Bill for this district, and so determined to forego tendering the Chief Magis? trate "tho complimente of the season." To-morrow Congress commences, and there will be a scramble for the introduction of bills and resolutions that have been preparing by ambitious Congressmen during the recess. Thad. Stevens is ?trimed with bills reformatory of the executive' and udicial branches or the Government. Both are induced byan excess of bile-first as applied to tho President, and lastly to the Supreme Court, which has become a thing of evil in Radical eyes, since the decision invalidating the jurisdiction of mili? tan,- commissions in districts where civil law waa in competent operation. Mr. Stevens- should be lenient to the Supremo Court Bench, however, as four out of the nine judges, headed by Chief Jus? tice Chase, went out of their way in promulgating the above decision, to give a supplemental minor? ity opinion to the effect that, during the exigen? cies of a war: Congress might poss a law validat? ing the setting up of military commissions, even in States and districts where no war.or rebellion existed. This' extra opinion, which waa altogether in excess of the question at issue, was obviously thrown out by Mr. Chase and three associates as a palliative to the Radicals for their unanimity upon tho decision finding military courts and com? missions unconstitutional amid civil tribunals and without war or rebellion. But. the w?^i~ia refuse to be appeased, and Old Thad.'a bill, looking to re? form in the judiciary system, is looked for as the , one especial judgment, before which the ancient ' gown and wig of the Supreme Bench must humble itself to the very dust. One J. M. Ashley, member of the lower House from Ohio, an amiable nonentity in his party, and famous for nothing but an overweening personal conceit, is ambitious to offer a joint resolution to-morrow, calling upon the Southern States to assemble Conventions in abort order, that, new governments may be set up, "republican in farm." Tho fact is, that ever since Ashley introduced, at the beginning of the session, the r?solution in- < quiring of the Judiciary Committee- whether any officers ot tho Government of the United States had done that which merited impeachment, and which produced quite a : sensation at the time, Ashley has been in an agony of solicitude how to I keep up his unexpected notoriety, j He has labored assiduously all through tho recess in plotting- how to keep up the popularity of his name, and has I finally nit upon the subject of the-above resolution as the one thing requisite to all his hopes. Under the circumstances, you may hear of some very bold propositions emanating from the ambitious Ashley; but let them pass as the idle wind, for the conceited ass never gets further than to propose legislation, and has not the mental capacity or clearness to follow up, if he would. The leaders of Congress have got to decide fair I ly and sanarely within a week, what is to he the \ finale [ of- Southern exclusion, and whether the Constitu? ?anal - Amendment; adopted by those States, will suffice to clear the path for their enlree to representation. Gov. Patton is still here to press this question in.behalf of alabama: and a : large delegation from the 'Arkansas Legislature arrived b. t this .morning, to gather light- in the same direction. These, gentlemen, do not propose to be put off with any geneinlfring, or easily -per tarted answer, but will seek such men as Fessen den, Howard and Wade, in the Senate, and in the House, Wood, Stevens, Boutwell, Wilson, Garfield, and others, of whom they will courteously press responses as to whether the Constitutional Amend? ment may be regarded-as the Concessional-ulti? matum concerning the admittance of the States; and if not. what'may be so;considered,audio what extent may the South expedite the solution of the problem of re IOM traction. Thus approach? ed, these Congressional head-centres will have to speak out, one way or the other, and it will proba? bly result in a refusal to guarantee that th? Adop? tion of the Constitutional Amendment win insure restoration. This will be a good point for the ] people to know, who have all along been led in the North to believe that the Amendment was the ?rand sticking point that deferred re-union, Un eception cannot come to them too soon. . ' The Congressional excursion party to New Or? leans is. expected home to Washington to-night The Radicals who remained behind; bave watched the progress of events with marked attention and not a. Sttie solicitude for the partisan stability of their absent associates. Particularly wa? the course and speeches of Senator Wade noted with extreme care, not to .say jealousy, and even now,. upon the eve of return, the Radicals are not quite certain how they shall find the graff old fellow, whether all corses, as usual, for ' everything, south of Mason and Dixon's hue, or considerably moni- ? fled and disposed to temporise and abate the more extreme rigors of Congressional reconstmotioc. The meagre reports of his speeches that bambeen , brought over the wires have worried "the faith? ful" unceasingly, being, in their estimation suro signs of a softening cf the heart and a general en? largement or tho impulses of charity toward all men. Wade will undoubtedly be mounted as soon j as he sets foot within the capitol, to determine the apprehensions of his friends. For my own part, I have no doubt that he wfil stand ap for prescribing no other requisito for final reconstruction than the ratification of the Constitutional Amen intent, and such a position for him will be a great blow to the extremists, who have the Radical scourge in view in all that pertains to the South. There has actually sprung up an Ortega Lobby in Washington, altogether myBterous, as yet, in personnel, yet undeniably ready for opera? tions upon Congress and the. Executive. The interest has sprang up in s twink? ling, and no doubt owes its birth at this time 11 the well known and popularly discussed failure of the late mission of Gen. Shermau and Minister Campbell to Mexico in search of Juarez and his mythical government It is rumored that': this new lobby in a rival Mexican 1 Republican in? terest, has so far gained a tooting in the halls of. the national legislature, aa to1 secure the prospec? tive introduction of a resolution providing that it will not; be. expedient at this time for the United States to manifest any partiality or aid for ona na? tive Mexican faction ; over another. This ia. of course, to cut off Juarez from any favors from this j country, and these withheld, Ortega and hiB party aro confident of wresting the , Presidency from his grasp. It now becomos a matter of speculation whether Ortega's agents in' Washington will endeavor to carry tho day by bribery. Last season, when re? solutions were so thick in ibe House proposing that the United States guarantee the Saith of the fifty million Mexican loan, just about to be put upon the market, the Mexican beads were aa thick as blackberries 'in offerof payment'of services beneficial to the passage of the reaolutioc, in ques? tion.

DIED, suddenly, on September 91st, at the residence j of her husband, in this city, Mrs. ADELAIDE F. WAG NEB, aged 21 years, 8 months, 37 days. How common it Is to read such records, and what little impression they make upon tho general reader t But when it comes home to us-when one who glided about our house Uko an angel of light; whose loving smile cheered us when depressed; whose soft hand, with af? fectionate touch, smoothed the aching brow; whoso nat? ural cheerfulness and loveliness rendered all around her happy-when snob a one is suddenly snatched away, and we know that we can soe the loved face no moro on earth, oh t how the stricken heart aches-how utterly cheerless, dark and dreary the world appears. We will not enumerate the many virtues of Mrs. WAO Nxn-they are written in the hearts of those who know her best. But, surely, the grim Reaper, with his ruth? less scythe, never mowed down a lovelier flower-lovely in form, feature and character. Could the agonising prayers and tears of a doting mother, sisters, husband and friends have retained her, thon would not Mrs. WAONEK have left us. But it was not to be so; God had otherwise ordered, and we bow to j His will, trying to say "The Lord gave, and tho Lord ; hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord." Farewell, my friend I Life's journey o'er, Thy angel face well see no more Until, all earthly trials done. We meet around the eternal throne.
