WASHINGTON Correspondence Relative the Suspension of Secretary Stanton Called For. T to Action of the House on a Proposition to Withdraw National Bank Currency. Debate on the Payment of Five- Zwenty Bonds with Currency. Wasuyarox, Nov. 26, 1867, 11 o’Clock P.M, Suspension of Civil Oficers During Trial for Impenchment. A number of the members of the Judiciary Commit- tee bad an informal meeting to-day, to arrive at some conclusion respecting the consideration of the bill sus- pending civil officers during trial for impeachment. Af- ter considerable conversation, without any sigus of a disposition to take up the measure, the subject was dropped. There appears to be some hesitancy to prose- cute this subject at this time, Much delay, it isthought, wil attend this step in the revolutionary proceedings of Congress, Impeachment and the Gold Market. Among the many interesting points in the resuscitated farce of impeachment, which bas caused # good deal of discussion here and created some surprise, is the fact that the report of the majority of the Judiciary Com- ‘mittee in favor of impeaching the President had little or no effect upon that faithful barometer of public feeling, the gold market’ Many of the knowing ones augur from the steadiness of the price of gold the speedy failure of the impeachment project, and they seem to view the threatening’charac- tor of said report as a mere bru‘um fulmen. A rumor was in circulation here to-day, purporting to come from good authority, that Secretary McCulloch, fearing the effect upon the money market of the impeachment news, telegraphed yesterday morning to the Assistant Treasurer at New York to sell large sums of gold, amounting in the aggregate, the ramor had it, te about twonty-three millions of doliars, This report served as an exciting theme for conversation, and Mr, McCulloch was accordingly roundly abused for thus stepping in to gave the radicals from the storm of anathomas thas would be heaped upon them by the country when the upward fight of gold should be discovered. The story was spoiled by an unqualified denial by Secretary McCulloch that he had given any such order as men- tioned In reference to the sale of gold, and that to his knowledge none had been sold. financial Matters in the Hou Financial matters appear to have become s mania ‘with the House, Quite anamber of bilis were intro- duced yesterday and to-day, indicating more the expres- sion of personal views than any general plan. In the controversy which will inevitably ensue upon the fnan- cial question the Western inflvenee, from present signs, will side in favor of expansion, while the East genorally favors contraction. ‘Specie payments, national bank currency, and legal tenders, and long loans, enter largely inte these bills, and the differences on these sudjects will lead to endless discussion, Among the ottside views Chief Justicé Chase favors expansion. He considers a long loan as the first step to repudiation. He says the debt is now on avery good footing, being divided mto three loans—the five-twenties, eighty-ones, and ten-forties—and does not look favorably upon avy change in this arrangement. Tho Appointments Before the Senate. ‘The executive session of the Senate to-day was to consider the question of taking op the nominations laid over at the last session, that of Colonel ( apron for Com- missioner of Agriculture and others, Some of the Senators desiring to obtain further information fn re- gard to some of the nominations, no action was taken. Why Chief Justice Chase Did Not Ge to Rich- mond, : Chief Justice Chase declined to attend the court in- tended to try Mr. Davis forthe reason that his duties bere, being of prior importance, required his undivided attention, He considers it mot the duty of the Chief Jestice to preside over the Circuit Courts, As is known, ‘ ‘ho wae willing to attend im May last, and Je still ready to preside when it can be done without interference with his other duties. Visit of a Delegate from the Londen Tailors’ Emtgratiou Society ta the President. ‘Yesterday afternoon Mr. James Verner, » legato from the Tailors’ National Emigration Society of Lon- don, tn company with several delegates from this city, was introduced to the President. After explaining that the object of their mission was to raise a fund for lief of the Journeymen tailors in London who been ona strike for the last seven months, the President made them a short address, alluding to early days, when he, too, made a livelihood by the needle; but it was mot, be sald, the profession which degraded the man, but rather the mon the profeasion. In the course of bis remarks he explained the enigmatical expression that nine tailors are essential to make a man, by relatiog the manner of its orgin; howa knight of the shears be- came embarrassed and was rolieved by the aid of nine of hus brethren; finally he grew rich, bought carriage, and put up as his motto, “Nine Tailors Made Me”— hence the derivation, In leaving, the President pre- sented the delegation with $50. The Famous Man of Washington. John ©. Chureniil, the member from the Oswego dis- trict of New York, whose vote bas chamged the majority impeachment report from an adverse one to one favor- img that measure, bas suddenly become a man of so Much prominence that everybody w eager to learn more about him, Churchill t-day, in fact, over- shadows the great impeacher Asbley bimselt, and is quite as great a lion as Old Thad, Ben Butler or any other membor of the radical party in high standing. Churchill i# an extremely modest, quiet gentleman, about forty-five years of age, of polished manners and considerable accomplishments. He was born in Clinton county, N. Y., but wont to Oswego in 1847, where be was admitted to the dar, and practised for many years with much distinction. He became District Attorney and Jedge in his county. He was originally a whig, but shortiy before the war joined the republican party, with which be has since seted. Whatever bitterness may be excited against Judge Churchill by reason of his change of voie, no one questions tbat he hes done it from conviction that he was right, The Aeening Star of this city thus alludes to the fame whien Judge Churebil! has suddenly acqtired:— = 28k Sesest, Sr cee meee te ng ot the current, Damsottinn dar Stnaon ane ot aaron “There he goee—thév’e Bim," iui fa anne shal Char ay among the baler crete eee about at 448 E stairs, down Sore ““Chnrebiii"" 1 the name that, bueres along the gaileries “Where Scher % oe.

This pledge was given with the knowledge and rendered binding by the assent ef Con- At this late day to attempt to iguore the full force of that pledge would be simply placing the United States in the attitude of a man playing ® “confidence game" of the meanest descript.on, in which the Treas- ury Department and Compress are the confederate knaves and the whole mass of bondbolders the unfor- tunate victims, In ly to the point made by Messrs.

In conclusion, Mr, Blaine urged tuat the true Onaccial policy of Congress was to move steadily, not rashly, toward the resumption of specie payments, 1d at she same time to re- duce our expendiwures within the narrowest prac- tecable limita. Our whole annual outlay, including the interest om the public debt, ought not to exceed two hundred and twonty-Ove millions Bus to attam this we must rigidiy severely economize.
