for with intense anxiety. Some of the New York
papers have made arrangements for oer6atsn re-
ports Of the arguments The proof Of the petition
of Georgia was read last night by CHARLES
C,CoNNoR, who probably wrote it.

CHARLES OGoNNoR, in the Supreme Court, to-
day asked leave to hand 10 the Clerk copy OF the
petition Of the State Of Georgia, which tomorrow
he intends to ask leave to fle the Court said that
he could do so.
Attorney General STANsBERRY said that this
petition differed from that of Mississippi, in the
fact that the President was not made party to
the Injunction and he further stated that STANTON,
in behalf Of the military authority, had requested
him to take entire control Of the defence The
court was requested but declined to take an order
as to the arrangement for arguing this question.
It is probable, however, that the motion to file
two petitions will be jointly argued.
A resolution was passed in the Senate calling
on the President for any legal opinion officially
given him regarding the Tenure Of Office Bill.
Resolutions fixing the day for adjournment, oc-
casioned characteristic debate, and developed the
fact, that the Senate is willing to divide affairs,
half Radicals and half Democrats but the Presl-
dent is firm in his determination to adhere to bus
friends. In reply to the argument. that unless the
President yielded during the recess, placing per-
SONS in Office Objectionable to the Senate, he should
Be put out of the way in July. Mr.. FEssENDEN re-
piled that the President, equally with the Senate
was part Of the Government, and might, with
equal propriety threaten to put the Senate out OF
the way, unless it accepted his measures The
