WASHINGTON, March 22d, 1882. There are those here, who by their long practices in observing the circumstances and actions ofthe Senators, can tell with great ac- curacy what has transpired in the Senate ia Executive Session. They will not only dis cover results. but they will very correctly de- velepe the course ofdebate-who participated l in is, who led the attack, how it was made, who defended, and the mode of defence. This
 may appear little extraordinary. but it is SD and it is only that close observation from cu- riosity that is practised by our Red Brethren from necessity to guard against surprise, or to enable them to come upon their enemies un- awares. which could produce such result. The Hon..Isaac Hill would call it '' Instinc- tiveness," aud therein think he would be mistaken. The Senate was in secret session on the goth, and adjourned without taking any vote it is said, and generally believed.- The hour of adjournment, however, was late, and curiosity was on tiptOe to learn what had been done. The discriminating gentlemen have mentioned, stationed themselves in diff ferent passages through the Capitol, to ob- serve the Senators as they passed. The Hon. l. Hills countenance was greatly depressed and sOrne said, distressed. It did not SO much indicate defeat on a nomination. as a severe 'castigation experienced by himself. The coun- tenances of some of the Senators were enli- 'vened by smiles, some were distorted by laughter; few were grave or sedate; and no couutenance was agonized but MT. Hills. It was therefore easy to see, that he had been roughly dealt with.
 He attempted to join the company of some of his political friends; but he was repuIsed, and with looks indicating that his conduct was not approved by them, and they had an "instinctive dread" of him. Two Senators were in high spirits; and they were designa. ted as those who had repeled MT. Hills att tacks. MT. Hill had been closely noticed for several days, with the view of ascertaining whether he was about to deliver a speech, in open or close session. He delivers no extem- poraneOus speeches. and when he has pre- pared to read speech in open session. his manuscript is unenclosed; but if for secret ses- sion, t is under seal.
 He had been observed to carry sealed package, and therefore it was known that he was prepared to read speech in secret session. Ewo.JacksOn senators. as they turned into ctrcultous passage to avoid Mr.. Hills cOmpa. ny, were heard tosay-" What a uaean-- to assail Mir. Webster;" disclosed the fact. that Mir. Webster was the object of Mr. Hills abuse. Thus much was then learned on the spot, that Mir. Hill had read speech "ss~SMsO0 NAi' SsCuStci-ludb W llO dktdCA WdS wanton, and not vindicated even by his poIit- ical friends-(he does not pretend himself that he has any personal fritnds)-thNti it was so mean that his political friends ay oided him as they would a leper-and that lie had re-
 ceived the full punishment his Uffsnsive Con duct merited. Te shew the true light in which he is viewed. ,I.need only say,- that his company was avoided yesterday so long as the Senate was open, and his haggard .iSage clearly proved that lie had had a restless night.-N Y. Daily Advertiser.
 From GeorgiG we learn through private channel, that the mandate of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of s. A. Worcester Vs. the State of Georgia (the Cherokee casel having been delivered to the Court to which it was addressed, a motion was made by the Counsel for MT. Worcester to reverse the Judgment of that Court, accor- ding to the Judgment of the Supreme Court and that the motion was refused by the Court. A motion was then made that the mandate Of the Suprume Court should be placed on the record of the Court, accompanied by mo- tiOn for writ of Hdbe0s Corpus, and that this motion was also refused. The argument on those motions occupied two or, three days, and the decisions were rendered without any written opinion thereon. Finally. a request was preferred for certified statement of these declsions of the Court, and it was deni- sd; the Judge taking the ground, as we had anticipated. of disvgGrdiHg altogether the mandate of the Supreme COurt.-Nat.

 Our readers, who haze always held to the homely doctrine that the President is obliged by his oath to execute the laws, would be a little startled at the language and opinions of some of our contemporaries. The Hartford Times teils us the President will not and ought not 90 carry into effect the mandate of the Supreme Court. because he must reckon tt uncoRstitutiouhl. In the name of conscience, what has the President to do with the law of the land, when Ogcs declared by the court. but to execute it? We know that General Jackson has been thought. by his partisa1s. at least, to he endued with all wisdom and knOwl- edge; but really, this making him supreme over the Judiciary, is a step beyond all for mer adulAtion and WsurPation, and goes far enough in principle to concentrate on him all Judicial as well Hs Executive power. Yet
 the mcn who hold this language are the very
