Y., was closed Saturday tor examination of ac- counts, it being alleged that the cashier is a deiaulter to a large amount. The directors ofthe bank are now investigating the matter, and will report amount of deficiency as soon as aecertained. The cashier makesa clean breast of it, and acknowledges that he has lost heavy in speculation in fancy stocks. There ic great trouble in financial circles in Boston. The cashier of the First National Bank of Newton, Mass., is short $110,000. The president Of the bank gave notice that the cashier came to Boston Friday at eleven o'clock, and has not since been heard of. The Colonial ministers in Engiand have re- signed, from reasons connected with the re- form measures. The reform bill promised by the Government will be presented on the tith instant. In is reported that dispatches hnve been receive in London announcing that war has broken out in India. The Cincinnat: City Conneils, by a vote of ‘24 to 12, engrossed the ordinance providing for the issuing of bonds to the amount of $300,000 tor the purchase of the gas works. Herr Simson has been chosen president ot the North German Parliament. The King of Prussia gave & banquet to the members of Parl.ament. Veto of the Tenure of Oifice Bill. The President, im his message stating his objection to the tenure of office bill, quotes the first section of the same as qualified by the fourth, and says “In effect the bill provides that the Presi- dent shall not remove irom their places any of the civil officers whose term otf office has not expired by Jaw, withont the advice and consent of the Senate of the United States. The bill in this respect coaflicts, in my judgment, with the Constitution of the United States. The question,as Congress is well aware,is byno means anewone. That the power of removal is constitationally vested in the President of the United States asa principle which has not been more distinctly declared by judicial authority and judicial commentators than it bas been uniformly practiced upon by the legisiative and executive departments of the Government.” He then proceeds to review at length the argument in Congress on the subject in 1789, when the biil for establish- ing a “Depariment of Foret, Affairs” was under consideration, and says:—“The question thus ably and exhaustively argued, was de- cided by the House of Representatives by ty-four to twenty m favorof the principle that the executive power of removal is vested by the Constitution in the Executiye, and in the Senate by the casting vote of the Vice President. He then reviews the action of the Supreme Court beariag on the same subject, and Says: “The words of the act establishing the Treas- ury Department are, “and whenever the same sball be removed from office by the Presid -nt ofthe Uniited States, or in any other case of vacancy in office, the assistant shall act.” This amounted to a legislature construction of the Constitution, and it has ever since been acquiesced in and acted upon as a decisive au- thority in the case. It applies equally to every officer of the Government appoiuted by the thermal a of duration is not specially declared. It is supported the weighty reason that the subordinate mete: in the Executive artment ought to hold at the pleasure of the head of the Department, be. canse be is invested generally with the exec. utive authority. and the participation in that authority by the Senate was an exception toa general principle, and ought to be taken stricly The ident is the great responsi- ble officer for the execution of the law, and the power of removal was incidental to that duty, and might often be requsite to fulfil it.’ Satt Lake News.—The Salt Lake Vedette of the 5th says: “The city was very quiet on yesterday, the excitement of election day, generaliy so conspicuous in other places, scarcely being perceptible. Voters went to the polls quietly, deposited their ballot, and returned to their homes or places of business as became geod citizens. Elders B; am Young, Jr., and George D. Watt nave left for Europe. der Young returns to his labors in the presidency of the church in Great Britain and adjacent countries. Elder Watt goes to visit his friends and take a general tour. SoLip MEN.—The democrats of Connecticut have selected for their prominent candidates this spring men who can afford to pay tolerably peasy suctonnerise) expenses. sa’ Pieter of five of these jcandidates, state agress- ional, is estimated as follows: James E Eng- lish, $1,000.000; Edward B. Mosely, $300,W00; J Hutchkies, $300,000; William H. Bar: num, $500.000; Richard D, Hubbard, $250.00. Total, $2,350,000. Messrs.

The following 1s the report of the Commit- tee on the Judiciary. charged by the House with the examination of certain allegations of high crimes and misdemeanors against the President of the United Sinies : On the 7th day of January. 1567, the House, on the mouon of Hon. James M. Ashiey, a Representative trom the State of Ohio, adopted ior Jollowing preamole and resoluuons, to wit: 1 do impeach Andrew Jobnson, Viee Presi- dent and acting Presidentof the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors, c. (Here follows the specifications and resolu- tions adopted en that occasion. } The duty imposed upon the committee by this action of the House was of the highest and gravest character. No committee during the entire history of the Government has ever been charged with a more important trast The responsibihty which it imposed was of oppressive weight, and of most unpleasant nature. Gladly wonld the committee nave escaped from the arduous labor imposed upon it by the resolution ef the Hous: imposed, prompt, deliberate, and fait! tien, with a view to correct results, became its duty, and to this end it has directed its efforts. Soon atter the adoption of the resolution by the House, Hon. James M. Ashiey ecommani- cated to the committee, in support of his charges against the President of the United States, such facts as were in his possession, and the investigation was proceeded with, and has been continued almost without a day's in- terruption. A large number of witnesses has been examined, many documents collected, and everything done which could be doue to reach @ conclusion of thecase. But the investigation covers a broad field, embraces many aovel, in- teresting and important questions, and in- volves a multitude of facts, while most of the Witnesses are distant from the capital, owing to which the committee, in view of the mag- nitude of the interests involved in its action. have not been able to conclude its labors, and is not therefore prepared to submit a definite and final report. If the in vestigation had even approacbed completeness, the commitiee would not feel authorized to present the result to the House at this late perioa of tue session, waless the charges had been so entirely negatived as fo admit«f no discussion, which, in the opinionuf the committee, is not the case. Certainly no affirmative report could be pro- perly considered in the expiring hours of this Congress. The committee not having fally mvestigated all the charges prepared against the Preident of the United States, it is deemed inexpedient tosubmit any conclusion beyond the state- ment thatsufficient testimony has been bronght to its notice to justity and demand a further prosecution of the investigation. The testimony which the committee has taken will pass into the custody of the Cler« of the House, and can geinto che hands of such committee as may be charged with the daty of bringing this investigation toa close, so that the labor expended upon it may not have been in vain. The committee regrets its inability definitely to dispose of the important sabject committed to its charge, and presents (his report for its own justification, and for the additional pur- pose of notifying the succeeding Congress of the incompleteness of its labors, and tha. they sbould be completed. Representative A. J. Rogers, one of the Com- mittee on the Judiciary, dissents trom his coi- leagues, saying tne committee refuses to allow A report to be made giving the evidence to the House at this time upon grounds which are no doubt satistactory to themselves, therefore he would not report the evidence upon which his conclusion is based, which he would gladly do did the committee deem it expedient, and says :—l bave carefully examimed all the evi- dence in the case, and do report that there is not one particle of evidence to sustain any of the charges which the House charged the committee to in- vestigate, and that the case is wholly without A particle of evidence upon which impeach- ment could be founded, and ihat with all the effort that bas been made, and the mass of evi- dence that has been taken, the case is entirely bald of proof.’ Heis convinced that ail the Proof thot could be produced has been before the committee, as no pains have been spared to give the case a full investigation. THE Lonpon Lopoine Hovsgs.- Tenement houses in every city and town, have been for the most part great nuisances, damaging alike to health and morals. Hence the preventive measures now in operation in London deserve general imitation. The power to inspect the jodging houses Of the metropolis is placed in the possession of the authorities of the various Seeger districts by the Sanitary act of 1s6y. “ach persor who lets a house, whole or in part, in which more than one family lives, or where more than two people occupy one Toom, Must be placed upon a register at the office of the District Board of Works, and feur hundred cubic feet of space will be secured to each inmate.

The dust bin must be cleaned outevery week, and the drain fect. The medica! officers of health have power to inspect the premises, and penalties can be enforced against violations of these regula- tions. made per- ANOTHPR SwINDLING OpreaTION.—The New York papers contain the details, which have just come to ight, of a goid-swindling operation in May, 1965, by which a broker faudulently obtained $600,000 in gold trom various New York bankers. The money was obtained by gold certificates, apparently signed by tbe officers of the Continental Bank. The alleged ewindler etcuped with his booty in & vessel named the Dakota, which was kept in readiness for the purpose of him away. He is now presumed to be i, where he is sate from capture by United States officials, there being no extradition treaty be- tween the two countries. Several suits have grown out of the case, two firms sueing the Continental Bank for sums named on the geld certificates, and claiming that the signatures are genuine. ‘Texas ENTERPRISE.—Texas has built four hundred and twenty-five miles of railroad, forming four grand trunks eres north, south, east and west from the eity of Houston, and affording ample roem for lateral roads when the wants of the country shall require them. The Houston Telegraph says: “These main arteries of trade will, when completed, notonly link the railway system of Texas with the vast net-work of ratlroads in the Northwest, and witb those of the states east of the Mississippi, but, further, will bring through Texas the products of the wealthiest Mexican states ir the onward course of civili- zation toward the Pacific Ocean.” ————_—______. &7 Gov.

The readisg baying been concludea, Mr. Johnson took the floor and expressed his Tegret that the President bad sent the bill back witbout his approval; and after further debate the question was put, “Shall the bill pass, the President's objections notwithstanding!” It was decided in the affirmative — yeas, 3-; nays, 10. The docrs of the Senate were reopened at 5.30, after an executive session of six khours While the doors were closed the comterence report on the army appropriauon bill was agreed to. The conference report on the inter- nal revenue bill was agreed to before the ex- ecutive session was held. The Clerk of the House notified the Senate of the action of the House on the naval appropriation bill. On motion, the Senate insisted on its amend- ments, and sgreed to the conference committee asked for by the Honse. The Senate insisted on its amendments to the bill authorizing the settlement in the Court of Claims of claims arieing out of the raid tn Indiana and Ohio and agreed to the conierence committee. The deficiency bill came from the House and was read. Pending the readiug, Mr. Edmunds made a report from the Conference Committee on th legislative appropriation bill. The committee were unable toagree The peint of issue was the seetion of the bill appropriating money for Additional compensation votcd by the House to certam of its employees. Mr. Edmunds stated that the Honse Com - mittee would acceptof nothing but the section referred to “pure and simple.’ They wouid | Agree to ne modific:.tion. He moved that the Senate do further adhere to its amendments, which were to strike out this section. The question being taken. the Senate now voted to adhere to its amendments. Should the House reciprocate by insisting on i-s disagreement the bill would fall. Mr. Sherman, from the Conference Com- mitte on the omnibus appropriation bil!, made a report. Mr. Sumner asked what had become of the } Senate proposition to pay the rebel assessors Mr.Sberman said he could satisfy bis friend from Massachusetts by informing him that it had been strieken out. The report was adopted.

Mr. Doolittle, from the conterence commit- tee on the bill in relation to the Inuian Bureau, made a report. The House bill proposed to transfer the bureau to the War Department The Senate bill provided fer an annual in- spection of Indian affairs. The conference committee were unab'e to reconcile the dif- ferences between the two Houses, and Tepor:- ed that they couid not agree. So both prop- Ositions failed. Mr. Fessenden avked leave to add an amend- ment to the deficiency bill prssed this morn- ing, providing an appropriation of 850,000 for temporary clerks in tbe Treasury Department for the year ending June 30, 156+, Mr. Sumner rezret‘ed that any discretion in the employment of clerks should be given to the Secretary of the Treasury, He thought him unworthy of it.
