MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES


WASHINGTON, April 6.-Mr. Cole pre-
sented petition from the veteran corps of
California. He said they served two or
three years, and during that time were sue
cessful in their contest with various Indian
tribes, subduing the Apaches and Conan
ches in New Mexico. They were dis
charged nearly two thousand miles from
home, and received a mere pittance to
reach California. They now ask to be al
lowed the same rate for transportation
given to other discharged soldiers to cover
their expenses. Petition referred to the
Committee on Military Affairs.
On motion of Mr.. Ross the Secretary of
the Interior was directed to inform the
Senate whether L. V. Bogy is now in the
employment of that Department; if so, in
what capacity, his duties and compensation,
when appointed, by whom, and what in
structions, if any, had been given to him,
and by whom.
Mr.. Sumner offered a resolution, which
he said he would call up tomorrow, that
Willard Salisbury, Senator from Della
ware, having appeared repeatedly on the
floor of the Senate in a condition of intoxi-
cation, he is hereby expelled from the
Senate.
On motion of Mr.. Sherman, the Senate
went into executive session.

THg Press and Times in stumbling
criticism on an extract from Mr. Coop
er's speech, unwittingly illustrates the
character Of Radicaiisln. 1t arraigns
that gentleman for submission to law,
and upbraids him with inconsistency in
counseling the people TO abide by and
live under it. Defense Of law is the very
spirit Of Radicalism- Il is no respeeteT Of
constitutions. IL is an oyerturner Of gov
ernments It is the genius Of anarchy
and confusion A Radical cannot com
prehend how man can doubt the wis.,
dom Of law, and yetobey it. The Radi-
cal party Of this country was conceived
in opposition to the constitution and
laws and the measure Of success it has
achieved in distempered time, marks
the degree Of degeneracy which American
institutions have suffered The constitu-
tion-the source Of all Just authority-is
now openly condemned The man who
appeals to it, is either derided as bab-
bier and a driyeller, or stigmatised with
a partizan epithet Laws at variance with
party views, are Knocked at, and informal
edicts setup in their stead. Courts have lost
caste, and justice has torn of the bandage
from her eyes, and broken her balances,
and is made to look in the direction of
the dominant faction and decide accord.
ing to its will All rules, forms, customs,
and precedents, however sanctioned by
use and endorsed by good and great
men, are thrown aside Reason has given
away to force, and the liberty Of the
people has yielded to the license of Off
Gals. These are the fruits Of Radicalism,
and it is not surprising that one of its
teachers should make it grave charge
that a man should pay respect to the laws
and the decision Of the courts.

am satisfied, from conversation and free
intercourse with the people, that it is the
general desire that be should be the candi-
date. They have confidence in his capa-
city, fidelity and courage, and they know
the hold he has upon the popular esteem.
They believe that he can command the foil
Conservative strength, and enlist an en-
ergy and activity on the part of our lead :
ing friends, in every county, superior to
that of any ether gentleman who has been
named. In Congress- and with the people,
he occupies a position which will enable
him, in the Conservative reaction that has
evidently commenced, TO be of great service
to the country
Sumner county desires to place his name
before the district convention, and trusts
that, if he be solicited to become the candi-
date, he will forego his determination to
retire, and permit his name to go before the
people. SUMNER.

nue. was weighed against the money value
of the negroes in the production of cot
ton. They would use him now as a POI
litical puppet, to aid Them to so contra
the affairs of the Southern people, that
they may get their money back. 1t is
for this alone that they have made him a
voter. If the negro suffers himself to be
duped into the alliance, he will rue the
day, for, sooner or later, he will be unde-
ceived If the white men of the South
make no effort to save themselves and the
negro from being imposed on by this
gigantic intrigue, blaekened with cupidity
and stained with blood, they will commit
an egregious folly.

fundamental, irrevocable, and unalterable,
securing forever to the State of Mississip-
pi her rights as a State in this Union.
Such compacts, and the rights required I'M
der them, the petitioners cannot believe,
and viii not regard it. It is the duty
to maintain in the same manner, at least,
as it would enforce between individuals by
injunction or otherwise the specific per-
Torrance of contracts. The averment is
made that the Congress of the United
States cannot constitltionally expel Mis-
sissippi from the Union, and that any
attempt at which is a nullity, and that
there is no provision in the constitution of
the United States which subjects her as
State TO any pains, penalties, or forfeitures
as consequence of such void attempt of
portion Of her people to withdraw her from
the Union. She AYERS that her people lost
none Of their political rights nor incurred
any penalties except what might be in
fieted on them as individuals by due pro-
cess of law after trial by jury. She AYERS
that she has exhibited her good faith and
adhesion to the constitution by electing
Senators and Representatives tO Congress,
and complains that they have been wrong
fully excluded, ard that her people have
been compelled to pay taxes and bear the
burdens of the government without repre-
sentation. The act to provide for the more
efficient government of the Rebel States
and the act supplementary thereto utterly
annihilates the State and government, by
assuming that Congress has the power to
control, modify, and even abolish its gov
ernment-in short, to exert sovereign
power over it-and the utter destruction
of the State must be the consequence of
their execution. The scope ofpower vested
in military commanders so broad and so
comprehensive was never before vested in
military commanders in any government
which guards the rights of its citizens or
subjects by laws The bill of complaint
closes as follows:
Now, the complainant expressly charges
that from information and belief the said
Andrew Johnson, President, in violation of
the constitution and in violation of the
sacred rights of the States, will proceed,
notwithstanding his veto, to the execution
of said acts as though they were the law
of the land, which the vetoes prove he would
not do if he had any discretion, or that,
doing SO, he performed anything more than
his ministerial duty, with a view to the
execution of said acts; and the said An
drew johnson has assigned military com
manders to several districts to carry into
complete execution, and for this purpose
has assigned Gen. +. 0. c. Ord to the
command Of the States of Mississippi and
Arkansas, whom complainant prays may
be defendant to this bill, and served with
ali proper process, etc.; and complainant
further AYERS that said Gen. f. o. G. Ord
win speedily enter on the discharge of said
duties unless restrained by the honorable
court.

Us. supreme Conrt. ETC.

WASHINGTON, April Judge Sharkey
and Hon. r. j. Walker appeared in the
Supreme Court this morning on behalf OF
the State of Mississippi. The former rose
to submit bill of complaint and prayer
to President johnson, and his officers and
agents, and especially that Gen. Ord be
perpetually enjoined and restrained from
executing the act to provide for the more
efficient government of the Rebel States,
and the bill supplementary thereto, and
that powers of injunction and subpGaas be
issued, directed to the parties aforesaid,
with any other relief that the court may
deem proper.
Judge Sharkey remarked that the bill
had been printed.
Attorney General Stanberry said he be-
lieyed it was the general practice to obtain
leave of the court to file bill. This bill
was against the United States, and he de-
sired TO appear at the earliest possible mo-
ment to object TO it. He repeated that there
must be motion TO file the bill in the
regular way.
Judge Sharkey replied that was the mo-
ton which he now made He was aware of
the magnitude of the subject involving, as
i: does, the important and delicate ques-
ton of the constitutiOnality of congression-
al legislation. 1t was of great moment that
an early decision should be arrived at, and
much mischief might result by delay Of
action.
(Chase to Sharkey) You can only
now move to file the bill 1t will be in
order to discuss at next meeting day"
Gen. Stanbery-" am going now to re.
sist the granting of leave to the Chief Jus
tice. We don't propose to hear argument
on a motion out of the regular order. The
motion will be filed"
Judge ST will now file application"
This he did, and the question went over
till next meeting.
Hon. L. H. Rousseau, of Ky, has been
confirmed by the Senate as Brigadier Gen
eral in the regular army by, it is said, three
