A most important caucus of the Republican
members of Congress was held at Washington on the 5th of January. The
impeachment of the President was the subject under discussion. After a stormy debate it
was decided that the Thirty-ninth Congress would not have time enough to impeach and try
the President, and it was best to defer action until the Fortieth Congress came into
existence, when documents for the impeachment will be prepared and submitted to the
Senate. It was also decided that no action should be taken on the matter until agreed upon
in caucus and referred to the Judiciary Committee of the House. The first steps under this
programme were taken in the House on January 7, as will be seen by reference to our record
of Congressional proceedings.
