Although the Sen ate has formally agreed to adjourn on Monday, the proppect of carrying it bow seems very doubtful.

They say they will meet with unexpected puccess. Colonel Hamilton, a member from Florida, has the resolution prepared and ready to offer. lie has consulted with. Butler, Bout well and others, und he says they hare pro mised to sustain it. Tbe whole movement comes from the South ern Fenators and members recently admitted. They say it will he impossible to maintain State organizations in loyal hands while the President is so bitterly hostile to them, aud that the only remedy they prescribe is to im peach and remove him. . Many of the old impeachers regard the matter with unconcealed favor, but they ex press doubts as to the propriety and practica bility of tbe movement. Vhe Signi of the Tax BUI.

The Southern members, to lay the action of their meeting before Congress, met the Recon struction Committee this morning, and afte laying the report before them, the members of the Committee advised the Southern Com mittee to lay them first before the House and have them referred to the Reconstruction Com mittee. This was agreed to. Tb Array Bill. The House Military Committee is engaged this morning in considering the Senate bill for the reduction of the army.
