WASHINGTON, January C.-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 r?solution that no measure looking toward the impeachment of the President of the United States should be presented in the House milo.- a previous? ly agreed upon by a canella. This was amended b"y providing that before any final, action by the cancos the subject should bo referred to the Com? mittee on Judiciary. Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, moved an amendmont,that no articles of impeachment should be preferred without first being considered by a caucus: This was adopted. Mr. Stevens moved that-the whole s abject he laid upon the tibie. The question was/ determin? ed in the negative by a vote of nearly two to one. The original resolution, as amended, was agreed to hy a large majority. There was much inciden? tal debate between Bingham, Stevens and others, on the legal question involved, namely: Whether au impeachment could be partly tried br the Sen? ate of the 39th Congress; ?uso, whether the House of Repr? BenU?l. es of the 39th Congress could pre? fer artic tea of impeachment to be tried by the Sen? ate of the 40th Congress; or whether, should arti? cles of impeachment be now preferred and that 1 not concluded at the expiration of the present Congress, they would have to be renewed in the 40th Congress. Mr. Stev ens took the ground that the Senate did not expire 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 the 4th of March, che 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 Benate. Mr. Stevens thought there was ample time for this. Congress to act in the matter.. Ho was, how? ever, not in favor of-hastening a subject of so much importance -, too rapidly, and then yielding after prof erring charges. Members of Congress should have time to give the subject d e delibera? tion. F?o behoved-that it ought to bo done but was not.-willing to i om m it. unless it-should be performed thoroughly and certainly. Mr. Spaulding, of Ohio, opposed the proposed . action very earnestly, and did not believe ?nj good could result from it. Mr. Higby, of California, thought it the most momentous question that had been presented for the consideration of the mern bore of this Congress; and deprecated any hasty action. Mr. washburn e. of illinois, did not think im? peachment possible; and while he believed the President did many things that were objectiona? ble, he thought? that th? question of impeachment should be referred to a Standing Committee, in order ta hare it regularly and dispassionately con? sidered.' ' .- ? :? '? - : ? ' '? . ?', ? The debato between these gentlemen'was ex? tremely spirited. Bingham speaking innis usual impulsive stylo, and Mr. at eve ne exhibiting a cor? responding degree of earnestness. 'They became persona! in their remarks. The caucus, however, was in the main harmonious. There -appeared to be generally a disposition to vote for any inquiry into the matter as to whether the Presidont should be impeached, while a largo number were of opinion that the President Ought to be impeached.." Mr. Bmgham mado tho point that articles of im- -' peachment for the reason he had previously sta? ted should not be preferred- during the present Congress for want of time ; and reminded gentle? men that tho trial of Warron Hastings lasted seven years. It wan 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 the'Judiciary Committee of the House without debate. The caucus was in session two hours, ud then adjourned. GENERAL NEWS.

Part of the Arkansas delegation visited Mr. I STEVENS to-day. The interview is described as somewhat frosty. Mr. STEVENS asked a number oi questions, and inquired of bis visitors if among them they had soon his enabling act. Ho fur? nished a copy, and advised them to study it, as it WOUMMJO tho policy of Congress-at least, he said, as tho ruler or the* Radicals, it is the policy which 7 3hall support The interview closed with an in? vitation to call to-morrow. Tho Arkansas delega? tion fouud little to comfort thom in Mr. STEVENS' words, tone and manner. Mr. RICE, of Maino, was also visited. He received his visitors very politely, and talked quietly of the condition of the country. The dinner at Mr. SEWARD'S is des'ribed as a bril? liant affair. In addition to the delegation, a num? ber of invited guests and Colonel SEWABD were at table. During the evening every member of the Cabinet and General GBANT visited the delegation in Mr. SEWARD'S parlors. The conversation was mainly political, but of a non-committal character. General GBANT CX Eresaed 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 find affairs more hopeful than they had expected, without receiving absolute assurance, from any member. They uro satisfied that the Cabinet is a stubborn unit in opposition to Radical measures. Thay have-no doubt of violent action in Congress, ont 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 the condition of territorial dependency, they think is repugnant to law, justice, and the Constitution, and ano dd the Radical policy find two-thirds of Congress in its favor, it will find a potent chock in tile Supreme Court. It is stated that 8TEVENS will introduce on Mon? day a, resolution instructing the Judiciary Com? mittee to prepare a bill dedaring the Southern Districts in a state of siege, suspending the habeas corpus, and providing military governments until the States are regularly admitted, i The' Committee on revenue frauds aro here, but will return to New York in a few days. They re? port frauds of the- most astounding character as regards number and amount-many of them so covered as to be past finding out. The Committee say their labor is endless, and they will recom? mend reduced rateB so as to reduce the tempta? tion. WASHINGTON, January 6.-The Texan members of Congress publish, in to-morrow's Intelligencer, five columns of an address to the people of tho United States, setting forth the condition of Texan affairs, the reasons for her admission, &c. Notwithstanding the action of the caucus last night, many Republicans urge the presentation of Ashley's resolution, and its pressure to a vote to? morrow. Prominent Southern Union men, returned to? night from a tom* of inspection through Tennessee, Georgia and the Carolinas, represent tho antipathy to the Constitutional Amendment as almost uni? versal, and a 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 "tho President in behalf of Edmund jUpangler, at Dry Tortugos, states that thc evidence against bim for complicity in the assassination conspiracy, was feeble and contradictory, and that many witnesses were deterred from testifying in his behalf from terror. The Grand Lodge of Virginia recognizes tbe Union Lodge of Alexandria, which has heretofore . been working under a dispensation from the i; rand Lodge of the District of Colombia, which was held tobe clandestine. Thad. Stevens leaves to-morrow night for Har? risburg, to be present at the Senatorial election, tho result of which is considered doubtful. > CONGRESSIONAL. WASHINGTON, Janunry 0.-The Finance Com? mittee of the Senate considered tho appoint? ments to-day, and made a proposition to reject them en masse, which was lost by ODO 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 ofhee, be rejected. In oth r cases where tho appointments hod been given to those who had served in the army or navy, or wore. consistent. Democrats and good officers, that coiifir r 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 StateB made it a part of the Constitution, and its ratification or rejection by the South was only important as an indication or submission. He had made his canvass on ad? mission of Southern representatives on the incor? poration of the amendment. SPAULDING could not be driven out of the Republican party, but warned the President that a resort to extremo measures would produce r?action. The discussion then turned on the Tariffand the resumption of specie payments. STEVENS recur? ring to SPAULDING-'S proposition of admission on the incorporation of the amendment, said the doc? trine was wrong and mischievous. If it was agreed the adoption of the amendment by three-fourths of tho loyal States was sufficient, Congross 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 Baying 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 hod voted for the admission of Tennessee without regard to Amendment, but addod 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 Congress could and would di 3 turb. He would vote for tbe admission of no-State whose Costitu? tion forbids negro votos. Referring to exclusion of negro votos in Pennsylvania and other Northern States, be said they ought to blush for the infamous exclusion. He hod said nothing in tho House looking to the impeachment of the President, but he regretted, however, that be had beon held back so long, because the President was an obstruction to all loyal action, and an eye-sore to all loyal men except tbe gentleman from Ohio, Mr. SPAULDING. MEXICAN AFFAIRS. WASHINGTON, January C.-An official letter re? ceived at the Juarez legation here from bim. da1 ed December 15, says be would leave that day for Durango, en route for Xacatecaa, and that instead of going by Monterey he would proceed to San Luis and Guanaxnato, ready to enter the City of Mexico on its evacuation by the French.

[FROM OUR SPECIAL OOEBESPONDENT.] 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. Now Year's, on the con? trary, bristled all ovor with _g"diod cheer, and became a great and attractive feature the moment the way-farers 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 bri'liant, embracing, as it did, the presence of the diplomatic corps in the re? galia of the respective courts represented, and several hundred army and navy officers. The general public were very largely in attendance, and among the crowd was a solitary negra Mr. Johnson smiled, took the darkey by the hand, and tho latter went on his way in an ecstacy of negro delight. Last year the concourse nf colored peo Ele that waited on the White House waB very urge. It is probable that they have been taught to expect that the President is going to veto tho Universal Suffrage Bill for this district, and so determined to forego tendering the Chief Magis? trate "the compliments 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. Thoa. Stevens ia primed with bills reformatory of the executive and judicial branches or the Government. ~ Both aro induced byan excess of bile-first os applied to the President, and lastly to the Supreme Court, which has become a thing of ovil in Radical eyes, since tbe decision invalidating tho jurisdiction of mili? tary commissions in dis trie ta where civil law was in competent operation. Mr. Stevens should bu lenient to the Supreme Court Bench, however, as four out of tho nine judges, headed by Chief Jus? tice Chase, went out of their way m promulgating the above decision, to give a supplemental minor? ity opinion to the effect that, during the exigen? cies of a war, Congress might pass 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 was altogether in excess of the question at issue, was obviously thrown out by Mr. Chase and tinco 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 Radicals refuse to be appeased, and Old Thad's bill, looking to re? form in the judiciary system, is looked for os the ono especial judgment, before which the ancient gown and wig of the Supreme Bench must bumble itself to the very dust. One J. M. Ashley, mern bor of tbe lower House from Ohio, an r nuable 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 np, "republican in form." The fact is, that ever since Ashley introduced, at tho beginning of the session, the resolution in? quiring of the Judiciary Committee whether any , officers ot thc Government of the United States bad done that which merited impeachment, and which produced quite a sensation at the time, Ashley bas been in an agony of solicitude how to keep up hie unexpected notoriety. Ho bas labored assiduously all throngh the recess in plotting how to keep up tho popularity of his nome, and has finally hit upon tbe subject of tho above resolution as the ono 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 aa the idle wind, for the conceited ass never gets furtbor 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? ly and squarely within a weok, what is to bo the finale of Southern exclusion, and whether the Constitutional Amondment, adopted by those States, will suffice to cloar tho path for their enlree to representation. Gov. Patten ie still here to press this question in behalf of Alabama; and a largo delegation from the Arkansas Legislature arrived bjt this morning, to gather light in the same direction. These gentlemen do not propoae to be put off with any generalizing, or easdv per? verted answer, hut will seek auch men as Feaaen den, Howard and Wade, in the Senate, and in the House, Wood, Ste vans, BoutweU, Wilson, Garfield, and others, of whom they will courteously press responses as to who thor the Constitutional Amend? ment may be regarded os the Congressional ulti? matum concerning the admittance of the States; and if not, what may be so considered, and to what extent may the South expedite the solution of the problem of re: ona true ri on. Thus approach? ed, these Congressional head-centres will nave to speak out, ono way or the other, and it will proba? bly result in a refusal to guarantee that the Adop? tion of the Constitutional Amendment will insure restoration. This will be a good point for the Scopie to know, who have all along been lod in tho orth to believe that the Amendment was the grand sticking point that deferred re-union. Un deception cannot como to them too soon. Tho Congressional excursion party to New Or? leans is expected borne to Woshuigton to-night. Tho Radicals who remained behind have-watched the progress of events with marked attention and not a little solicitude for the partisan stability of their absent associates. Particularly was the course and speeches of Senator Wade noted with extreme care, not to Bay jealousy, and even now, upon tho ove of return, the Radicals are not quite certain bow they shall find the gruff old fellow, whether all curses, os usual, for everything: south of Mason and Dixon's line, or considerably molli? fied and disposed to temporise and abate tho moro extremo rigors of Congressional reconstruction. The meagro reports of his speeches that have been brought over tho wires have worried 'Hhe faith? ful" unceasingly, being in their estimation sure signs of a softening of the heart and a general en? largement of tho impulses of charity toward all men. Wade will undoubtedly be mounted aB soon as he sots foot within tho capitol, to determine the apprehensions of his friends. For my own part, I have no doubt that ho will stand up for prescribing no other requisite for final reconstruction than the ratification of the Constitutional Amonjment, and Byob a position for him will be a groat blow to the extremists, who bave tho Radical scourge in view in all that pertains to the South. Thorc has actually sprung up an Ortega Lobby in Washington, altogether mysterous, as yet, in personnel, yet undeniably ready for opera? tions upon Congress and the Executive. Tho interest has sprung up in a twink? ling, and no doubt owes its birth at this time t ) the well known and popularly discussed failure of thc late mission of G-en. Sherman and Minister Campbell to Mexico in soarch of Juarez and his mythical government. It is rumored that thia new lobby in a rival Mexican Republican in? terest, has so far gained a footing in the halla of the national legislature, as to 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 one na? tivo Mexican faction over another. This is, of course, to cut off Juarez from any favors from this country, and these withheld, Ortega and his party are coulident of wresting the Presidency from bis grasp. It now becomes, a matter of speculation whether Ortega's agents in Washington will endeavor to carry i ho day by briber \\ Last season, when re? solutions wore* so thick in tbe House proposing that the United States guarantee the faith of the fifty million Mexican loan, juat about to be put upon tho market, thc Mexican honda were as thick as blackberries in offer of payment of services beneficial to tho passage of the resolution in ques? tion. But the disbursement was small, and even Fenian bonds would have been preferred by the fow who did receive the worthless .-iexicanos. YIDEX. A SAD ACCIDENT-CHOKED TO DEATH.-We regret to learn that an oldcrly lady, Mrs. Elizabeth Payne, a resident of thia place, was so badly chokedlast week, while swallowing some article of food, that ehe dfed shortly afterwards from the effects.

E., only daughter of JOHN WmrnnAD, deceased, and Mrs. MAMAN WHITEHEAD, of thia city. No carda, OBITUARY. DIED, suddenly, on September 21st, at the residence of her husband, In thia city, Mrs. ADELAIDE F. WAG? NER, aged 21 years, 8 months, 27 days. How common it ia to read auch records, and what little impression they make upon the general reader I But when lt cornea home to us-when one who glided about our house like an angel of light; whose loving andie cheered us when depressed; whose soft hand, with af? fectionate touch, smoothed the aching brow; whose nat? ural cheerfulness and loveliness rendered all around her happy--when BU oh a one is suddenly snatched away,'and we know that we can see the loved face no more on earth, oh I how th? stricken heart aches-how utterly cheerless, dark and dreary the world appears. We will not enumerate the many virtues of Mrs. WAS? HES-they are written ta the hearts of those who knew her beet. But, surely, the grim Reaper, with his ruth? less scythe, never mowed down a lovelier flower-lovely inform, feature and character. Could the agonizing prayers and tears of a doting mother, slaters, husband and Mends hare retained her, then would not Mrs. WAONEH have left ns. But it was sot to be so; God had otherwise ordered, and we bow to His will, trying to say "The Lord gave, and tba 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. Oh 1 may we join the happy band That on the right shall Joyful stand. * J. H. D. DIED, at St Louis, Mo., December 22, 1BSG, MAR? GARET, wife of JAWS M.

More than ten thousand aggravated casos have been cured by HOS FETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, while the number that bave been prevented from conting to a head, by the isme means, is Incalculable. In Whiter and early Spring, rhea the appetite is sometimes too vigorous for the i?mfort and safety of the stomach, indigestion is most pr?valant and most distressing. Is the appetite to be 3 ali ed to accommodate the digestive organs? Not so; or then the trame would lack ita due proportion of nu riment The thing to be done is to STBENOTHXN TEX 11 rro>uCH, tone the liver, and put tba bowels In perfect 11 irder. ' Nothing win do this so effectually, so rapidly, so ptietly, so pleasantly as HOSTETTEB'S BITTERS. This votent preparation trims and balances tho system, and Jothes it, salt were, with defensive armor. Chronic iyspepaia, liver complaint, and fever and ague, are never mown to attack those who are wise enough to invoke the aid of thia great preventivo. 6 January 7 I. J. WHITE...JNO. E.
