WASHINGTON. ’ nerd ‘The Impeachment Question. ‘The Judiciary Committee held a brief session to-day, ‘taking supplementary om the subject of im- peacument Messrs, of the Constitutional Union; Coyle, of the National Intelligencer, and Mur. ‘Taugh, of the Republican, proprietors of newspapers in this city, were examined as to whether any advertiso- ments have been furnished to their papers from the Executive Department in violation of an act of Congress om that subject, which declares that advertisements shall be given to two papers im the city having the jargest :ubscription girculation, It is said that General Sheridan has been summoned to appear before the com- ‘muitiee to contribute bis quota to the already volumi- ‘Bous iestim ny collected upon the subject now under consideration, Condition of Thaddeus Stevens—What He In- —— tends to do in Congress. Stevens to-day seoma waterially improved in atrength, and his mind displays more vigor than at any other period since his here, To-day he received @ number of risi- tora, Speaker Colfax, Congressman Boutwell ‘and Senator Morrill among the number. With his im- Proved condition, Mr. Stevens manifests a renewed dis- position to urge his ideas upon the House, He now ap- ‘pears more determined than ever, He says, however, ‘that he will not be able to do much speaking; he’ will ‘exert his efforts mainly in the introduction of such bilis ea he may think necessary to bolster up the cause of ‘Fadicalism.| The bill suspending civil oMcers during ‘wil impeachment he bases upon hat clause of the wonstitution which says that the Congress ..ay by law Provide for ‘the case ‘removal, % w or in- ability both of the President ana Vice . -esid nt, @eclaring what officer sliall then act as Presi and such officer shall act accordingly until tao disability be removed ors President shall be olec, ‘With bis twereased strength Mr. Stevens has revived his oetermination to bring in ‘ The tollowing is a ‘Complete.copy of that document as he has revised it, ‘and deciares ho will introduco it early in the session: — & BILL RELATIVE TO THR POWERS OF OFFICERS UPON AND rare FOR Agente ol AsD MISDEMEANORS. enacted, whenever either the President or ‘Vice President of the United States shall have articles accusing him of high crimes aod misdemeanors duiy ‘red against and the court cunstituuonaily provided t] bave ordered bis trial and tixed- She day for it to commence, be shall be considered as ayipg Goder a disability to discharge the powers and duUes of his office. and said disability shall remain until the termination of said trial. The voice of popular opinion, as expressed in the re- ent elections, has made no impression whatever upon ‘the determination of Mr, Stevens. He says that, sq far from tho elections being any resson to in! ©ourageous members to back down, they should be ac- epted as an argument to back them up. He is em- phatically opposed to any compromise of measures, avd ‘will not -be found wanting in’ any exertion in bis power to keep up the eathusiasm of his followers, Jf bis improved condition of mind aud body prove of a per- manent nature, @ more united and vigorous display of wadicai ideas may be looked for than was anticipated 4a view of his removal from the scene of operations in * House. , Mr. Stevens has not been out of bis lodgings since his arrival hero, but he looks forward to next: Thureday with every épcouragement that he will be dole wo be “present at the opening of the seasi How far his ex- pectations will be realized tim ‘determine.

POLITICS 1N NEW MEXICO—A CONTESTED ELECTION, {From the Evoning Telegram of yesterday.) ‘Wasnixcton, Nov. 18, 1367. A spiritod contest seems to be going on in New Mexico to decide whether General C, P, Clever has been elécted aSdelegate to Congross, or whether Mr. F, Chaves has been re-elected. A few particulars of the quarrel have already reached bere, dnd both the contestants wiil soon arrive to lay the evidence in support of their ciaims before Congress. It appears that the official count of the vote showed a majority of five hundred and forty-nine for Clever, who accordingly received a certificate of election from tue Secretary of State. Chaves intends to contest bis elec- tion by attempting to pi fraid and charging Clever with being @ copporhead. All wese charges, it is said, Clever bas ample evidence to refute, ATTORNEY GENERAL STANBERY. Letter Denying Opintons Attributed to Him. : Wasutncton, D. C,, Nov. 16, 1867. EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE :— My attention has been called to an editorial in the Gaily Chronicle of this morning, under the caption, “fhe Latest Presidential Pit,” from which | extract the following:—“And ims brings us to the consideration of bis (the dent's) latest plu, which we find indicated tothe Js of yesterday. On the first page of twat paper is a communication on ‘The may fe res- s1on of the ib Conbress,’ which takes udacious ition that tho meeting of, the Fortieth Congress prior jo ihe first Monday in Denember was ‘unconsiltational, Th's communication ts sizoed with the initials of Attorvey General, and mquiries made yesterday on the Subject elicited information which renders it toic:ably certain that it is from bis pen.” a T do not know irom what source your information was “elicited,” but wherever obtained, ‘it was I ain not tho author of the article referred to, nor did I ever see it yntll Iraad ‘esterday im the Intelligencer. I will avail myseif of this occasion to make ove more extract from the same editorial, In the enumeration of various plots charged upon the President to defeat the Tecousiruction acts I find the following:-.*tAfter the atl- jouroment of Con; fast May. he red an ‘opm- ion’ from his Attorocy General, having fer its object tho seagate wf privinions.® reference is stated in the opinions, ring to the diMcu!ty that theso military bi tered as to the meaning of these acts, t tafe ground for the per’ ysides, there was a necessity for such insirvction.

But the meaning way have been to imput’ to the Presideat the solicwation of an opiaion to te made tu order, aud to carry out what you call bie “efforts to thwart the execution of lavs whose enactment lis vet» could aut vent.” If this was the President's object in procur- ing these opinions be took a singular modo to accoin- lish it; for he never advised the Attorney General toat bad Mgpes poate poms wad an pia‘on would suit bim, and he never keew anything of either of the options until mips en be o. them was written, In conclasion, J must be allowed to say that a solicita- tion from me of ao opinion ‘to order’? wogid be met with instant of my office, No one is more incaparle than the ident to make | request, and [| am confiden: be knows tne well enougt to be satis- fed how such a request would be received.

It would seem as if our play- going public had only begun to appreciate this fine tragedy just as wo are about to lose it, It was rendered with that admirable fidelity in general tone of which we have hitherto spoken at large; but particularly 1t must be said that Madame Ristori, Signorina Glech aod Signor Boazo gave their respective parts last night with such an earnestness, life and sympathy as if by frequent repetition the it Of the words had grown into their very natures, It is part of the excellence of such a troupe that nothing in it can become mero routiag.

Broadway Theatre. If we are to credit the sunouncement of Barney Wil- Viams on the bills of the Broadway, Tom Taylor's play of the Ticket of Leave Man 1s “better than a hundred sermons.” Without going so far as togive this gsser- tion’ an unqualified endorsement, wo can express the belief taat it 15 certainly better than a bundred of some such sermons as we have sometimes listened to, and it certainly seema to attract a larger flock than can be found sitting under the teachings of any but very fash- jonable shepnerds. The moral of the piay is decidedly geod. Itserves 10 show the trath of the oid saying, “gre a dog a bad pame, and hang him,” and the injue- tice of always joining im the common cry in favor of hapging every dog that bas once been unfortunate in bis reputation, Bod Brierly should certainly be suffered to live virtuously if Bob Brierly be so disposed, no matter what misfortune may to him and cast the shede of prejudice over his path in life, The story is interesting, and there are few sensatioual plays of a superior char- acter, The acting is iair throughout. Mr. Florence has made tho part of Bob Brierly especially his own, and Mrs. Florence is exceedingly amusing as the St, Evre- mond, It is not surprising that the piece should fill the Broadway aa it did last evening. Banvard’s Overn House. The “ Devil’s Auction,” although the articles put up for sale are few in number and of small value, still continugs to. draw like a steamooat on a pleasure ex- cursion, Seizing upon the model ana the grand idea of the Black Crook, of a flock of pretty women, and a liberal display of their beautiful arms and Jega, and gracefyl attitudes, singly and in all conceivable com- binations, in “the poetry of motion,” tha managers in the “Devil's Auction” Lave “struck ile,” and equal to &@ petroleum well at forty barrelsadav.

The ‘vegetation and country in it. are altogether too tropicai for a cold New England home, Less exuberance tn the vegetable kingdom in this act would be more akio to nature and decidedly less annoying to those who are conscious of tne fact that palmetto, ‘mahogany and other growths of like character aro not to be tound in latitudes where frost and snow prevail five out of every twelve montha, While we thus point out defects, itis but jast we should add there te much im the acting, the scenery, the music, mochauical effects and tableanx that, wit Wallack’s Therire.
