Jolmson attempted a de- fense-of fhie President in the makter Lt finally aban- doned that, and said he did not care who was to blame ; the fact was a 1¢ voach to the country.

Mr. Edmunds calied up his bill 1o reguiate the tenure of office, but without cousidering it the Senate adjowrned tili Mond The Honse had a brief session to-day, but did nothing of special interest. Mr. Stevens reported the Postal and the Fartification Appropriation bills, which are mainly based on the usual estimates. The Postal bill appropriates in total $18,500,000 for the ocean and inland mail service. Messrs. Newell of New-Jersey and Lawrence of Ohio made speeches in Committee of the Whole. A commumnication from the Adjutant-General of Arkansas, showing that the original Union men of that State .are neither secure {n.person nor property, was presented by Mr. W ash- burne of Illinois, and referred to the Committe Reconstruction. A similar lefter from Major-( Ord, stating that the Freedmen are most inhun y treated in that State, was also presented and referved. The House meets to-morrow for * speeches” in Com mittee of tlie Whole. No business will be transacted. There is just barely aguornm of members in the city “The meetings of the various State Legislatures seemn to have drawn awny a large number of the m bers, Beveral very important Senatorial elections are to take place within the next three weeks, and wmany of the members hieye find it u cy to visit their respoctive States in order to “fix matters.” Senator Harris and Roscoe Conkling, with other New-York members, ave in' Albavy, and will, no doghbt, remain until after Jan. 15, Thad.

Indiana is to elect a Senator in place of Mr. 1 other Indianians home. Kansas elecis two Senators from the 4th of March next ; Senator Poweroy is at home, looking after a reélection. Sidney- Clark, the Kansas mewber, goes home nest week. S 15 are to be chosen in New-Jersey and Wiseonsin, Senator Nye has been in Névada, looking after a since the last session of Congress. The Sex contest in Misson bas taken home most of the State Congress delegation. Maryland chooses a Senator also, til these Senatorial elections ave settl lection, torial Un- s number of absentees in both Houses will evidently be very large. A Comwittee of Penmsylva politicians and mem- bers of the Legislature came bere to-day to tender to Thaddeus Stevens sufficent votes, lerefofove pledged to Gov. Curtin, to insure his election to the United States Senate over ( Cameron, and urge him to go back with them to Harrisburg and actively enter into & canvass 10 secure his nomination. 1lais understood that they were authorized make, and did make, transfer of Curtin’s entive strength. They coupled the tender with a reqnest that the great com- wmoner should enter imto certain engagements and These he flatly refused to 1% to Harrishurg, he expressed the greatest relactance to leave his post of duty lere, and greater unwillingness to participate personally in asteuggle for a public office. He is, however, 80 strongly pressed by friends here, as well as by gen- tlemen from Penusylvania, to go to Harrisburg, and there put an end to the strifein the Rerublican party which now divides that State over the question of Unitefl States Senator, that he may be induced to acrifice his feclings and make the journey.

His bill regulating the tenure of office in civil appointments, referred to and reporttd by the Committee on Retrenchment, will be taken up for final action in the Senate on Mouday, and will probably pass that body.
