An EIoauent PeroratIon.

The argument of Reverdy johnson, in the
Supreme Court in the case of Garland deny
ing the constitutionalty of the test oath, ls
attracting good deal of attention among
lawyers, and is universally pronounced one
of the finest efforts ever delivered before
that bench.
At the close of his address Senator John
son addressed the court as follows:
Will the court indulge with a word or two

THE PRESIDENTS HoUsR-It is uniler-
stood by the Washington news-gathers that
the Presidents house was cleared of articles
Of furniture to an extraordinary degree when
Mrs. Lincoln left It. The subject has been
kept from the pubhc as much as possible, as
1t was matter of scandal disgraceful to the
country. The Express correspondent says
S'The Presidents. house is in very shabby
condition. the old occupants having used up
all the appropriations, as acetE as all the lrni-
