AMERICA.
(Arrival of the City of Antwerp.)
.NEW YORK, April 13 (Morning.)

The Supreme Court yesterday heard the argu-
ments relative to the application for permission to
file the Mississippi petition for an injunction to re-
strain the President from executing the Recon-
struction Bill. The Attorney-General Stanberry
argued that the official dignity of the President re-
moved him beyond the juiisdiction of the Court.
In such cases he could only be reached through the
people or their representatives. If the Court
granted the injunction Attorney-General Stanberry
said he would advise the President not to obey.
If the case was then pressed the Court would be
compelled to arrest the President for contempt, and
a serious collision between the executive and judicial
branches would ensue. The President had ex-
hausted his rightful opposition to the Reconstruc-
tion Bill by vetoing it. His only duty now was to
execute the law as enacted.

Mr. Robert J. Walker, on behalf of the petition,
argued that the President himsylf had declared the
Reconstruction Bill to be unconstitutional, and that
the Supreme Court was created to decide contested
points in constitutional law. The case was there-
fore within the jurisdiction of the Court. The
official dignity of the President could not justify
his executing laws enacted in violation of the con-
stitution, or the consequences of the subversion of
the constitution which the President had declared
to be accomplished in the Reconstruction Bill would
be more disastrous than the consequences of the
President's refusal to obey the mandate of the Su-
preme Court, issued in performance of its sworn
duty to protect the constitution.

PORTUGAL

LISBON, April 22.

Some slight popular tumult.took place in Oporto
yesterday evening. The military intervened to
restore order, and easily succeeded in doing so
without making use of their arms, notwithstand-
ing the provocation offered by some of the rioters
who threw stones at the troops. Several of the
ringleaders have been arrested. This demonstra-
tion has been twice prematurely announced to
take place by its promoters.
The " Patriotic Union" Society, which was
formed without sanction, and which encouraged
the agitation, has been dissolved. Oporto and the
other provinces of the kingdom are at present
perfectly quiet.
