THREAT FROM ANDREW JOHNSON.

WARRINGTON, OCTOBER 10.-rhe President has just

First. is the present Congress composed of men,

Second Would existing circumstances justify the

Illegal and unconstitutional assembage pretending
TO be the Congress OF the United states.

Upon the reply that NAV be made by the Attorney
General to the above the President there is reason
to believe, has determined TO take his stand.
The correspondent OF the Ledger continues with
the following speculations:-
The questions put to the Attorney General are all
the more important when taken in connection with
the bold utterances the President at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, declaring that the "presenp' was
only an assumed Congress- and mot the Congress
the Constitution called for :" and also, in connec.

Executive has fully made up his mind that the
1hirty-ninth Congress was not a legal body.

upon the grave and deeply momentous subject and
when it is Piyen he will govern himself accordi ugly.
1t is not dlficutto toreshadow what the response
OF Mr.. StaDberv VIII be, ana that he will chime

expressed, there seems to be no doubt.

confidence that his policy would be sustained in

The New French Copyright Law.
Count de Montholon has communicated to
Secretary Seward the text of a new French law,
as follows:-
Article l. The duration of the rights granted
by anterior laws to the heirs of irregular sue
| cessoIs, grantees, or legatees, and of authors,
composers, or artists, is extended to ffty wears
eating from the decease of the author.
During this period OF fifty years the surviving
| husband or wife, whatever may be the matr-
| monial arrangement, and Independently of
rights which may result in favor of the survivor
| from the regulations of the community, has all
the enjoyment of the rights which the deceased
| either has not disposed of by contract being
parties in being or by will.
However, If the authors have heirs in reserve,
that enjoyment is limited for the benefit of such
| heirs, according TO the proposition and distinc.
ton established by articles 9l3 and 9l6 of the
| Code Napoleon.
This enjoyment does not take place when
| there exists at the moment of death separa-
| ton of persons pronounced against the sur
| yiving party. 1t ceases in the case where the
| survivor contracts new marriage. The rights
| of heirs in remainder reserve, or of other heirs
| or successors during this period of fifty years
remains, moreover, regulated in conformity
| with the code Napoleon.
| First When the succession devolves to the
| State the exclusive right is distinguished with
| out prejudice to the rights of creditors aad
| the execution of agreement of cession, which
may have been consented to by the author or
| his representatives.
Second. All the provisions of anterior laws
contrary to those fthe new law are and remain
abrogated.

in favor Of Mr.. TrOwbridsc. by a vste or
seven. 10 two for Mr. Baldwin. Mr.. Trow-
bridge was elected 10y the ala Of the sold
'ers vote; setting aside that vote would
have given a majority to Baldwin. The
Constitution Of the United states expressly
ioIoics thar the time. places and manner Of
ne.dnS elections for Representatives shall
be prescribed in each State by its Legisla-
turc; but j, has been decided both bv the
courts and by Congress. that provisions I'm
state Constitutions on the subject were in
operative. so far IS concerned the election
or qualification OF Senators and Represen-
tatiyes in Congress. Hence. any limta-
tons that our State Constitution might
have placed upon the right Of counting the
soldiers vote, would have DO effect upon
the question when considered by Congress.
Under such power given them by the Con

entitled to his seat.
