THE EVEN Washington News and Gossip, PrrsowaL ExpLaNaTion.—Mr. Ingersoll, of Ilfhnois, made a personal explanation in the House to-day regarding statements that he had been visited with the indignation of his col- leagues for sustaining the course of Senator Trumbull. He eaid the Ulinois delegation held ‘& meeting, when it was Proposed to send Mr. Trumbull a fetver signed by them with the view of influencing bis vote, or inducing him to withhold itif he could not cast it for con- yietion. He said that himself and three otbers declined to sign such aletier. He had held no communication with Mr. Trambull; had not atopted his views, and had seen no reason to ebange the opinion he held when he voted for the articles. ia Goop News ror THE SCHOOL TracuERs,— John T. Given, Esq., chairman of the Finance Committee in the Board of Alderman, this morning had an interview with Mr. Hunting- ton, cashier of the First National Bank, who agreed to advance to the Uorporation a sum sufficient to pay the salaries of our Public School teachers to date. We understand that a bill will be introduced this evening in the Board of Aldrmen anthorizing the anticipation of the revenue for the amount necessary, and itis to be hoped that the Councils will promptly pass the same, and thus relieve the teachers, who are badly in want of their money. DUPLICATE BouNtY Caecks.—The Secretary of the Treasury has issued a circular of instrac- tions establishing regulations for issuing and paying duplicate bounty checks The owner of asoldier's bounty check which may be lost must at once notify the Assistant Treasurer upon whom it is drawn to stop payment: send affidavits to the Paymaster General or tie Pay- master who issued the check, setting forth the circumstances of the loss, and that it was not endorsed in blank or to bearer. He must also file a bond, a form of which is furnished to Paymasters who issue checks. Tue INvestic aTION.—Manager Butler, with one or two ot his colleagues, were at work yes- terday upon the investigation into the influ. ences charged to have been brought to bear upon the impeachment result. The Managers held a meeting this morning for the purpose of continuing the prosecution of the inquiry. The investigation, it appears, is not connected with the Republicans who first declared themselves azainst conviction, but thove who did net de- clare themselves up to the Isst moment. SENATOR Howanp.—This gentleman was much improved in health last evening, and is now able to sit u,) during a considerable por- tion of the day. The statements that he was suffermg from brain fever are incorrect. The disease is gastric fever, and tuo were probably foanded in the fi lirium is frequently a phase in severe the disease. S MEETING or THE IMPEACHMENT Mana. GeRs.—The first meeting ot this committee, to take action under the rezolution adopted on Saturday authorizing an investigation into the charges of corruption in connection with the efforts of the President's friends to secure his nequittal, will be held to-day. A number of witnesses haye been summoned to appear be- fore the committee. THE PRretpENT was serenaded on Saturday night by the Academy Band, unéér the lender- ship of Mr. John Esputa. Upon the conclu- sion of the serenade the President expressed his gratification at the compliment. ALTHOUGH many Senators and Representa- a have leit here for the purpose of attend- ing the Chicago Convention, it is believed there will bea quorum present in both Houses dur- ing the week. Saves J. BOWEN, Republican nominee for Mayor of Washington, and member of the Na. tional Union Executive Commutiee, is among the number of those who leave here to-night for Chicago. ArrorsTeD.—Mr. Horatio Bates, of this city, bas been appointed to a clerkship in the Treas- ury Department. Mr, Bates for several years past has been an assisiant to Prof. Marini. Tue WHITE Hovse.—The crowd of visitors at the Executive Mansion this morning was very large, and many were admitted to see the ent. Mrs. Dr. Mary Walker was among the visitors, Mayor WALLACH, who nas been confined to his house some days by indisposition, is better to-day, we are to state, and will soon be able to resume bis official duties. GOVERNMENT TsLEGRarH Between New YoRK any WaA8HINGTON.—Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, introduced to-day a bill, which was Teferred to the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads, for the construction of a Goy- ernment lelegraph, under the direction of the Post Office Depariment, between New York and Washington. No m shall be sent over the line unless stamped with a three- cent postage stamp, and there shall be a uniform rate for the transmission of mes- sages, without regard to distance, of one cent for each word and exclusive of address and signature, but no message shall be sent for lese than ten cents; and two cents sball be charged for the delivery.

This will prevent the W! House criminal (already carrying the damning infamy of thir- ty-five votes for bis conviction) from setting aside the reconstruction governments of the Southern States, and will compel the recusant Tepublicans either to vote for or against the ad- mission of Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina, in ac- cordance with the terms prescribed by them- selves. When these States are admitted, there will be added to the body of the Senate and to the High Coart of Impeachment ten or twelve new radical Senators. With such an accession of strength, there will be no difficulty in con- vieting and deposing Andrew Jobason. The House of Representatives should prepare forth- with a new article ofimpeachment, and arraiga the Presidental culprit at ence; and the Senate, as constituted after the admission of the South- ern States, should take short, sharp and de. cisive action upon it.

He wished to say there was not one word of truth im the state. ment of this correspondent. Since the impeach. ment estigation began be had had nocom- munication, either oral, written, or by tele— graph with the distinguished citizen referred He did not, of course, suppose his friends would believe the statement, but he bad thas iced at, thinking thet otherwise perhaps the ings of the Senator (Mr. Willey) might be wounded, if the statement was not contra- dicted Hovse or Revreseytatiyes.—Uuder the call of States ard Territories for bills and joint resolutions for reference only the following were introduced and referred to the committees named By Mr. Peland, (Vt..) bill to construe the act jon of Avaudoned property in the to prevent f:aud ip the collec- Committee on Revisions of Laws. sy Mr. Robinsiop, (N. ¥..) joint resolution Propo=ing to amend the Constitution of the United States, in article section 1, sub- division 4,in order to provide that no person except a citizens of the United § hail be a eligible to the office of President; and t prison shall have attained the age of 35 years, and for fourteen yexrs a resident ef the United States.

The New York delegation is also at this hotel General Sickies, Chairman of the iatter delega- thon, is generaily talked of for permanent Pres. ident of the Convention. If not selected for that po- ition he will benominated by Governor Ward for temporary presiding officer until a permanent organization is effected Some of the Southern delegates are ber. but itis not believed that any will be admitted un- der the rule adopted in the all for the Con- vention, which provided only for the election of delegates from such Stats es are represeut- ed iu Congress. If the Southern delegates are admitted it will throw an entirely diferent aspect on the Viee-Pre-id: atial grestion. On Wednesday only an organization will be effected, and the appropriate Committees on Credentials, Platforms, etc, be appointed. The nominations will be made on Thu> eday. Gen. Grant will be nominated for President by ac- elamation, it is believed, the ballot being dis- pensed with. The contest on the Vice Presi.
