Horace Greeley Confirmed as Mittis- ter to Austria, ‘Wasurncrox, Nov, 29, 1867, T1 o'Cloek P.M. } pe The President’s Message. Thear from a trustworthy source that the Prosidont’s Measage is almost completed, and that it is provablo a epectal Cabinet meeting will bacalled on Monday to listen to that portion which was not considered at the sassion to-day. 1 understand that while the President adheres to the same views expressed by him in his former mos- sages upon the important points of difference between the executive and legislative branches of the govern- ment, he has framed tho message in a moderate and conciliatory spirit, with the manifest intention of avoid- ing everything calculated to cause irritation, Tho Impeachment Question. The feeling on impeachment is undergoing a visible modification. When a majority was reported favorable to tho measure, members jumped hastily to the conclu. sion that some additional testimony bad been secured which, even without its being made known, was suffi- ciont to warrant therein in ranging themselveson the side of the majority of the committee. Snifficiont time has now elapsed for the testimony upon which most reliance was placed to form an impeachment motion to receive careful attention, aod prominent radicals declare in literal terms that the President appears in oven a better light tban bis friends might have anticipated. The more the impeachment testimony ia read by members not previously blinded by prejudice, the greater the con- viction becomes that the whole matter has been a huge imposition on the sense and pa‘ience both of Congress and the country. A woll informed radical Senator stated to-day that, though doubtful of the result a few days ago, he feels confident now that the question will be beaten in the House by a majority of over thirty. The members from Onto are divided in sentiment, a 180 those from Pennsylvania, New Jersey is decidedly against it, together with Maime, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut, Now York is divided on the general vote. How- ever, a majority of republicans wili bo found in array against impeachment, The men of sense and business in both houses are eagerly desirous of having the ques- tion brought up at once and disposed of forever. They are irritated at having the prosect valuable time wasted in its discussion. The Resumption of Specie Payments. The bill of Senator Morrill, looking to the resumption of specie payments, attracted more attention than any other having reference to the financial question that has been offered up to this, Tho principal members of both houses are coming seriously to determine that all other questions must be left im comparative abeyance for the consideration of finance, ror- enue and taxation, Senator Morrili’s bill to-day has given a fresh impetus to this foeling; but it ts evi- dent the majority of the nation’s legislators are sadly at fanit id their knowledge of the true principles of finance, or of their proper application to the circum- stances of the country. Senater Wilson’s Vie « en Financial Ques- Sefiator Wileon is of opinion that Congress will con- solidate the bonded debt, provide that it shall be taxed, and take from the Secretary of the Treasury the power to retire any more of the currency, Ho believos that whep the impeachment bore, against which all the ‘New England members except Butler and Boutwell will vote, is got rid of, Congress will address itself to these questions, and inside of a hundred days give the country a revised and improved code of Internal Revenue, reduced taxation, and in order to meet the monetary needs of a portion of the States where but few national banks are in existence, the circulation of some of the Northeastern ban! iil be curtailed, and, without increasing the aggregate amount of the national bank circulation, diffuse the currency throughout the whole country. % Neutrality in the Abyasininn War. The joint resolution offered by Senator Chandler to- day, declaring @ strict noutrality on the part of the United States between Great Britain and the kingdom of Abyssinia, was taken and relished by the Senate asa capital burlesque on the neutrality proclamation issued by the Engtish government at the breaking out of our rebellion. 1s Before the Senate—IHorace med as Minister to Austria. The execative session of the Senate was protracted to nearly four hours to-day in discussion whether the addi- tional session of Congress was a soasion in itself, and whether the nominations heretofore sent in for confir- mation could be acted upon this session. The final con- clusion arrived at was that this session was part of the Inst, only being a recess, and the names of Horace Gresley, for Minister to Austria; Horace Capron, of Illinois, for Commissioner of Agriculture, and A, ©. Hunt, for Governor of Colorado Territory, were confirmed. When the nomination of Horace Greeley as Minister to Austria was brought up in the Sonate to-day, Senator Conkling moved that be be con- firmed. Senator Tipton, from Nebraska, obtained the floor, and get about denouncing Gresley as a renogade from the Ropublican party. To confirm Greeley, said Tipton, is to go back upon the Grand Army of the Re- public, which organization bad everywhere denounced bim. He bad served in army himself, as a captain, and he did not intend turning his back upon the soldiers, After Tipton had spoken some time the Senato confirmed Mr. Gresley without @ call of the roil. General Capron, the next nomiaation, was confirmed by a large vote, Mr, Stilwell’s name for Minister to ono of the South American republics was re-commitied to the Committee on Foreign Relatiyna, There are two or three names still before tho, Senate which were not reached to-day, among them / Judge Gibbs, for Governor of Idabo Territory, vice Bajiard, suspended, /n effort will be made to hold an executive session on Monday morning, previous to the adjournment, to. dispose of these nominations, Such as are not acted on before the close of the session fall 6rd new nominations will have to be sent to the Senate, The Presidential Question. Politicians are beginuing to ox orcise their thoughts on the most eligible candidates far} the Presidency on the fepublican ticket Im, the camryaign of next year, In these speculations the impeao‘ament and financial ques- tions enter largely. Grant, Wade and Chase are the principal subjects of discug sion, in which the former has by tar the lead. The formation of Grant clubs im dif- ferent parts of the coun/ry manifesta not only a move- ment of leaders, but a gradual organization of the masses, Among pulilic men from the different States centring here (there is uttered @ great unanimity of opinion om thie subject” In expressing their views the most radical declare that by carrying out the impesehment of the President the success of the next election. would be certain, and Grant's chances, therefore, wousiderably strengthened.
