From Washington
One Of the Presidents organs, the Consti
tutionaI Union, says, ofthe administration
that, if necessary, its strong and iron hand
will be invoked to stay the course and pre-
vent the consummation of Radical treason.
The great oath of the President to protect
and Defend the Constitution will not be for
gottek fand the people who sustain him with
their 100000 majority of the voting poptlla-
ton, North and South, will not forget him.
Events have already brought the Govern
ment to the very verge of another revolution.
If the Radical majority in Congress pursues
It's reasonable course much longer, the Gov
eminent, in order to sustain itself, will have
to arm, ats supporters At the call of the Pres
ident, all his friends North and South, and
the army and the navy will respond. In such
a contest the issue cannot be doubtful. Con-
gressmen may be valiant fighters on the floor
of Congress, but when they come to lead
their cohorts into the field it will be another
thing. The real armies and great soldiers Of
the Republic will be found fighting under
the flag. We advise the opposition of the
determined and fixed fact, that Andrew
term of Office"
This has warlike sound. A member of
the Legislature of Kentucky has proposed
to raise ten thousand troops in that State, to
be subject to the orders of the President
We want no more fighting about the offices.
Mr.. Wilson, Chairman of the Committee
on Judiciary of the House, is preparing a
BILL which he will try to introduce into the
House on Monday, repeating the present
law, which allows cases of appeal to go to
the Supreme Court. If this bill should be
adopted, the Supreme Court will be debarred
from trying any cases excepting those OF
prize and Admiralty.
The Washington correspondent of the
Tribune says:
"The gayerse of the Senate were filled
to-day at al sEly hour, in anticipation ola
continuanceff the important discussion
commenced yesterday afternoon in the speech
of Mr.. Sumner. 1t was pretty generally ru-
mored that Mr.. Sumner would continue his
criticisms upon the President, and that Mr..
Doolittle, who took notes yesterday, would
defend him. The bill to regulate the tenure
of office came up as the reg ular order at O.
clock and SHm7Ar Immediately took the
floor. Yesterday he spoke extemporaneous-
! ly. To-day he had all that portion of his
remarks relating to the President reduced to
writing, SO as to be the better prepared for
such Interruptions rs occurred yesterday
The Democrats gathered clos ely around him.
| While he was proceeding with the severest
part of his remarks, Reverdy johnson and
Mr.. Doolittle conversed together, as if con-
shifting for the defense of the President. The
audience in the galleries appeared intently
| interested in the speech, and we re hanging as
it were on the verge ofapplause. Mr.. john
son took the floor at the concl usion of Mr..
Summers remarks, and entered j INTO an elabo
rate criticism of the right of Senator to
press opinions of Mr.. Johnsonii guilt, con-
sidering that a resolution lookin ;, to his i'm
parchment is pending in the House, and
concluded with a laudation OF the Prcsi
dent Scourse in the early part of he war, and
pailation of his recent rhetorical excuses,
on/the score of defective cdcuatie-R in early
life The remainder of the discussion was
comparatively uninteresting.
Secretary Stanton was before the Judi
ciary Committee on the 18th. The case of

Stanton was called for the purpoas of giving
his views as to the propriety of tn e Commit-
tees summoning John II. Surrati, on his ar
rival here, before it, to give evida nee in the
case under consideration. The st ateRaent is
incorrect that he was called befor, 1.-THE Com
mittee to give evidence on the impeachment
question, concerning what he knew of garb-
ling of Sheridans dispatches by che Presi-
dent during the period of the New Orleans
riots. The New Orleans Riot Commdttee

goes to the Judiciary.

the time in the House on the 18th. Toward
