THE TMPEAOHMENT BESOLUTION. TFornnndo Wood was promptly in hissoat ot the meoting of tho Houso, at 11 oclock this morning, and 1t soon becamo known all over the floor that he had prepared & resolution instruct- ing tho Judioiary Committeo to bring in articles of impenchmeont against Vieo Prosidont Colfax, if the.facts should warrant such action. Ilohold tho resolution in his hand for more than two honrs befors he had an opportunity of offering it, and he sat very pationtly until tho long jour- nal had been yoad through, and while other leg- ialation was belng disposcd of, although his as a question of privilege, the highost that o membor possesses, Aftor tho resolution had been road, and, indeed, during its road- ing, there was o good deal of excitement in the House, mombers consulting togother hero and there in order to ronch some ngree- 1ment as to concort of action, Mr, Tyner, of Ine dians, onoof the ablost of tho Wostern' meom- bors, and the successor of Vice Presidont Col- fax, was quick “zPon his foot, and, romom- harlngnruely-uso rulo, movod that the 1080~ lution'be nof considered. After o brief oxcite- ‘ment, the motlon of Mr. Tyner, without dobato (pano remarks would be in order), was sub- mitted to the House, and on it there was the largost vote that was oven given in the Houso, Thero wore 106 membors in favor of con- sidering tho resolution of 3r, Wood, and thero were 109 sgalnst it,—n remarkably closo vote. It was st most o strictly party voto, tho Ro- pnbllcnus voting in favor of or'd motion. 'Phe Republionns who voted with tho Democrats in favor of considoring the rosolution wero: General Butlor and Mossrs, Farnsworth, Stoven- &on, Deatty, A.

Of course the Judiclary Committeo will not con- sidor dho_nubjoct, uur was It expectod thoy would. Wood presonted the resolution for buncombo, aud tho House did_what was nocos- eary without naming the Vice Presidont. JUDGE BUERMAN. Tho Waya and Doans Committoe concluded to-day its investigation of the grave chargos Rra!armd against Judge Shorman, of Ohlo. fter glving the Judgo every opportunity to ox- lain his somowhat remarkablo lettors addressod 0 members of the New York Stock xchango, tho Committee hns decided to turn over to the Judiciary Oommitteo of tho House nll the ovi- dence they have taken. As Judge Shorman at rosent Lolds the position of United Statos Dis- tlot Judgo, it s oxpeoted the Judiciary Com- mittoo will take action looking to his impeach- ment. Tho sevidence shows him to have boen guilty of an attempt st blackmail, Whilo it was ostablished that he domanded money from tho Btoolt Exchango, it wos shown tbat ho did not jerform auy service, and was not in Washing- on whon tho logislation for the success of which he domanded o foe wag enacted. ‘The Committes did not ascertain that cithor Senator Bhorman or Garfield was in any implicated with Judgo Bhorman, TIE LOUISTANA REPORT.

Conceding, howover, that tho bill did progont n cang within tho Jurdsadiotion of tho Court, that jurlsdiction was limitod hfl tho scopo of tha bill; and gave u0 warrant to tho oxtraor- dinary procoodings which woro subaoquontly lind in tlio cnso. Tho only logitimate purposa. of this bill was to preservo.testimony, and tho subsoquent_attempt of tho Court on & bill in oquity to dotormino tho titlo of Warmoth and ‘Wharton, and othors, to act as Stato Ganvasrors, was n mattor wholly (myona tho juriudiction of tho Fedoral Qourts. The bill shows that War- 1moth, Wharton, Hatch, and Daponto claimed to bo membors of tha Hoard and wore acting s such, end allogos that thoy wero not membora of tho Board, but that Lynch, Horron, Longstroot, Hawking, and Wurmoth waoro the logal momberg of said Board, What juriediction had thoFedoral Court to detormine tho right botwoon theso con- tonding Boards ?

The utmost which tho Court 'had asuthority upon this bill was to restrain tho destruction of tho roturns and documents, to preserve which tho bill waa filed. They woro Stato records, and tho Foderal Court had no right to take possassion of them. The bill did not ask the Court to do eo, but only to roquiro copics to bo filod; but tho _Court issucd its nwmphlls, and iilogal, and void rostraining ordor, which, backed by tho mfllmri', tho United Btates Marshal excouled. Of this order, the Committoo say it is impossible to conceive of n moro irrogular, illegnl, and in ovory way inoxousablo nct on tho -part of a Judge. Conceding the power of the Court to make such an order, the Judge ont of Court had no moro suthorily to make it than had tho'Mar- shal, It has not even the form of n judicial Erousa. It was not sonled, nor‘was it signed y the Clork, aud had no moro offgot thau an ordor issucd by any privato citizen. . There had beon no amendment “of the bill of complaint. Tho law of Nov, 20 had boon promulgated. The Doforiot Board had bdon appointed in protended pursunnce theroof. Whotler, undor tho Constitution, the Governor had the power, point that Board, upon the _ground that tho ek of Nov, 20 umniod tho offices, and, thereforo, sacancios in_the ofllco, your Commiltdo do nob inquire, but it is undorstood that the Constitu~ tion has boen 8o construcd in that State, and thint Judge Dibblo was appointed by tho Gov- ornor under similar circumstancos.” Tho De- forlot Board, thorefore, had color of official ox- istenco, Thoir canvass was completed, and tho Yasult Prnmnlgnted undor volor of the State lnw, snd it fn clenr that thia gavo tho Foderal Qourb no moro right to Eoize the Stato Houso than tosoizo this Capltol. Tho Marsbal, on re- ceiving this protended order, called for o dotachmont of United Btates troopa to nct as a posse comilalus, soizod tho State Houee at 2 . . of Deo. 6, and_hold it for weoks. Aftorward on the suma day, Judge Durell delivers au opini- on in tho Kellogg caso, on tho_application for injunctions pendente lite, wnd made an ordor Ep‘mung the injunction a8 prayed for by the il Aftor quoting Judge Durell's opinion, ordor, and injupction in full, the Committoo con- tinues: *Ti is somewhnt romarkablo that in thia opinion the Judge makes no allusion to tho fact that tho Stato Houso was thon in possoasion of Fedoral trnops, uader an oxder jssued by hin, sud of -tho Court _tho . night -Leloro. = -iha opinion matorially misstates tho allegation of the bill, and whally x tho faok that, under the act of Nov; 20, the Gov- ornor hod appointed a now Canvassing Board, which Jind in foot canvasaed tha votos, of all which o was awaro, becauso tho proclemation of tho Governor ofilcially promulgating these fncts was ombodied fn the order for seizing the Btate House, made by tho Jud(iu the night bo- foro. ‘Tha Judgo also declaros that about 4,000 sflidavits sustain tho averments of tho bill. Your Committeo have examined many of tho sflidavits, and it is admitted that none of thom contain tho statoment that the right of rogistra- tion or the right of voting was denied on acconnt of Tace, color, or previguscondition of sorvitudo, But in this opinion he dlsposes of the act of Nov. 20 in a romarkable way. Ho scems to admit its validity, but scems dotormined that it ghall not take offoct ot an inconveniently enrly dato. Ho admits thasit ropeslod all former eloc- tion laws and covorad the wholo subjoet of olac- tions, but from this ho draws two singular con- clusions s Firet, that, inasmuch a8 the act of Nov. 20 ropealod all “former eloction laws, ell that liad boon dono under such ropoaled faws waa void ; aud socond, to avold this difficulty, whioh, ho says, at first_startled bim, that it was hig duty to keep tho old lawa in forco until the 0ld Boards could have & rensonablo opportunity to completo all the businegs bofora them,” Further on, tho Committee shys: Viewed in ony light in which your committee can cousider thom, tho orders’ and Injuuction made and grantod by Judgoe Darell in this caso aro most soprohensible, erroncous in fpoint of law, and nro wholly vold for want of jurisdiotion, and your committce must:oxprosa’ their sorrow and Dumiliation that & Judgo of tho United Statos should havo proceoled in guch flagrant dig- rogard of his duty, and linve so far ovorstepped tho limits of tho Fedoral jurisdiotion. Aftor the forogoing decision was mado by Judgo Duroll, Armutend fillod & bill in tho District Court against tho mombers of tho Lynch Board, and obtained an injunction com- manding them to make no canvass of the No- yomber oleotion, oxcept upon tha returns of tho Lynch Board, and obtained an injunction commanding thom to mako no canvaes of tho November olection,excopt upon the returus medo in'purguance of law. 'Chia injunction in no \3{ conflicted with the decision of Judge Durcll, TFor, concoding that the Lynch Doard was, not- withistanding tho ropanl of the Inw oroatis 5 it, & valid Board, it'cennot be doubtaed thut the Courts of the Btato might reatrain that Board from canvassing any but tho logal returus of the elec~ tlon.. A writ of certiorari wns issued b)i‘ the Foderal Court in this caso, which wos d gorded by-the Siato Court. No subsequout pro- Goudings woro bad in tho Fedoral Court upon eoid wiit, and tho injumction romains in fall force, On _tho Gth of Decom- bor, 1673, tho Lynoh Doard (Boveo,- who was then acting 88 Becretary of Blate in fllnco of Horron, Lyncl, Longatroet, and Haw- ins) protendod to have canvassed ihe returns of the election, and cortified to the Becrotary of Btato that Xollogg hnd been electod Goversior ; Antoino, Licutenant Governor ; Olinton, Audi- tor; Vield, Attornoy Genoral; Brown, Biperin- tendont of Education, and Deslondes, Becretary of Btate; and aleo certifiod s list of porsons .whom they had determined to bo eleotod to tho Logislature, Thors is nothing in all the comody of blundors and frauds uador considoration more indotonsiblo than the pretonded canvaey of this Board, Tho following aro some of tho objec- tions to the validity of their procoedings : T, 'tho Board biad boon fboliskiod by tho ack of Nov. 20, II.
