Congressional.
"Wasbixotox, Jan. S.—The Senate met at 12
o'clock. Tho Chair laid faeforo the body a coni-
summation from the Secretary of the Treasury,
ransmitting a bill and report prepared by Com
missioner 'Wells, which, on motion of Mr. Fes
senden, was referred to the Finanee Committee.
Mr, Chandler presented a protest against the
curtailment of the national currency; also, a
petition for an increaso of natiopal currency
Referred to Finanee Committee.
Mr. Snxnner introduced a resolution, directing
the Judiciary Committee to inquire if legislation
or n constitutional amendment is necessary, to
prevent the sale of persons into slavery for a
term of years, as a punishment for crime.
Hs-said his attention had been called to this
matter, and proceeded to read two advertise
ments of the Sheriff of Anne Aarundel county*
Maryland, advertising the sale of certain ne
groee for a term of years, by order of the Circuit
Court of that county. lie wished the Committee
to inqoiro into this subject, and present thei'r
views to the Senate. lie had his doubts as to
whether the civil rights bill covered it. In re
gard to the constitutional amendment abolishing
slavery, he had thought tho language used un
bappy. Congress no doubt thought, at the time,
the term “involuntary servitude" only applied
to servitude by imprisonment, but as there
was n doubt In the matter, it wonld be wise to
settle it.
Mr. Saulsbury said the advertisements read by th
Senator were nothing new; be had often seen similar
advertisements in Eastern newspapers, and in none
score than in thoso of the State of Massachusetts. The
Lsfitlatare of Maryland were now in session, and he
thought it would be well to await their aetion.
Mr. Johnson said tho whole matter wonld soon bo
before tho courts, and he thought it would be better
l> let the matter go before the Judiciary.
Mr. Creswell believed it was eminently proper for
the Judiciary Committso to inquire into It. The res
olution was adopted.
On motion of Mr. Sumner, tho Committee on the
Judiciary will be instructed to inquire whether any
farther legislation is necessary to stop the system of
Indian pionage now prevailing in New Mexioo.
Other matters of no specific public interest will be
considered, after which the Senate will adjonra
nousE.
The House met at noon, there being about a
quorum present. The Speaker presented a com
munication from the Secretary of the Treasury,
transmitting a report from David A. Wells, Spe
cial Commissioner of Revenue, with a tariff bill
prepared by him as a substitute for the custom
laws now in force, stating that the opinions and
conclusions of Mr. Wells, with very slight ex
ceptions, meet with his hearty approval, and
commending the report and bill to the careful
consideration of Congress. Referred to the Com
mittee on Ways and Means.
Mr. Wentworth asked leave to offer the fol
lowing :
Resolved, That the Committee on tho Judi
ciary be instructed to enquire and report what
measures, if any, can be taken, to prevent the
Supreme Court from releasing and discharging
the assassins of Mr. Lincoln and the conspira
tors to release the prisoners at Camp Douglas in
Chicago, under color and sentence of the law of
1S63, and also to inquire into the expediency of
repealing such law.
Mr. Eldridge objected.
Mr. A'hley, of Ohio, has prepared a bill for
the impeachment of the President, which he

LosdosderRT, Jan. 5.-Tbe steamer Peruvian
Portland touched here to- day and proceeded
incidental debatobetween Bingham,Stevens and
others on the legal questiens involved: whether
an impeachment could be partly tried by the
Senate of the 39th Congress, Also whether tbe
House of Representatives of the 39th Congress
conld prefer articles of impeachment to be tried
by the Senate of the 40fh Congress, or whether,
should articles of impeachment be now pre
ferred and not concluded at the expiration of
the present Congress, they would have to be
renewed in the 40th Congress. Stevens took tbe
ground that the Senate did not expire with the
present Congress on the 4th of March next, it
being a perpetual body. Mr. Bingham re
plied, arguing that one third of tbe present
Senators would go out on the 4th of March. The
President could not afterwards continue to be
tried by Senators composed of one-third of the
members on articles partially tried by the proceed
ing Senate. Tbe debate between these gentlemen
was extremely, spirited—Bioglmm speaking iu his
usually impulsive style and Stevens exhibiting a
corresponding degree of earnestness, and they
became personal in their remarks; the caucus,
however was in the main harmonious. There ap
peared to be a general disposition to vote for any
inquiring into the matter as to whether the Presi
dent should be impeached, while a large number
were of tbe opinion that the President ought to be
impoicbed.

Washington, Jaa. 6.—The President will,
to-morrow, send a veto message to the Senate
on the negro suffrage bill. It was thoroughly
considered iu the Cabinet on Friday. All the
members endorsed it except Stanton, who
believed that Congress bas tbe right thus to
legislate for the District of Columbia. Gen.
Grant was present by invitation. The Citi
zens have heretofore almost unanimously ex
pressed themselves at the polls against such
measure; and to force negro suffrage on
them is regarded as repugnant to liberty, iu
the face of their earnest protest, apart from
absence of constitutional povrer to pass the
bill. -
