MEMPHIS April 4.-The Avalanche's
Little Rock special of to day says the cleo
ton returns from Pulaski and Jefferson
counties make the result doubtful, both
parties claiming it. Gen. Gillem's procla-
nation announcing the result can alone
decide it. In the election of The new Legis-
lature, not two thousand whites voted.
There is one negro in the Senate and five
in the House. The Superintendent of
Public Buildings refused to give up the
keys of the capitol, which was entered at
night and the doors thrown open. The
House ordered the arrest of the Superin-
tendent, but he is still at large, and may be
seen daily on the streets. The House rati-
fed the fourteenth article of the Constitu-
ton yesterday, but the Senate refused, be-
cause no official proclamation has been
made of the result Of the election.
In response to kilograms from the State
officials, Gen. Gillem says he has no au-
thority to prevent the peaceful assemblage
of the Legislature, and the occupancy OF
the capitol by it.

LONDON, April 4.-The defeat of the

and most of the journals have editorials on
the subject.
The Times says the House of Commons
have resolved to cancel that part of the
empire which shall be removed. The re-

churches in that town have brought charges
against Spence Settle, a colored preacher,
for voting the Democratic ticket at the re-
cent elections, and that there are reasons to
believe that he will be turned out.

CUT-On last Tuesday, a man by the
name of George Miller was tried before
Judge Goodwin, on a charge of assaulting
and cutting negro. He made lunge at
him with knife, and scratched him
slightly on the neck. Had the negro not
thrown up his arm and warded off the
blow, his throat would have been cut.

SEVERELY BURNED.-On last Tuesday
evening Mr.. Peyton Collier, while drawing
coal oil from a barrel in his store, about
three miles north of Lebanon, got very
badly burned. 1t seems that the oil
"spouted" out of the can into lighted
lamp which he held in his hand, bursting
the lamp, and instantly setting everything
on fire. Mr.. c., with heroic presence of
mind, put his hand into the burning mass
and turned off the oil from the barrel,
thereby preventing a terrible explosion.
There were three or four kegs of powder in
six or seven feet of him at the time. Time
ly assistance was rendered in keeping the
fire from spreading, or the loss of the store
would have been sure Mr.. Golfers hands
and arms were badly burned.-Lebmon

THE PROGRESS OF THE IMPEACH-


Yesterdays proceedings at Washing
ton closed the sixth day of the impeach-
ment trial and concluded the delivery of
the evidence on which the managers pro-
pose to rest their argument for conviction.
The general opening of the prosecution
was delivered by Mr. Butler Of unenyia-
BILE fame Ii was too long to listen to,
and too long to be read except by those
whose vocation it is Ii was not strong
or luminous, but it was pettifogging and
vindictive Il was not worthy Of the oc-
casion either in matter, style or temper
IL betrayed in Its labored perversions, its
magnifcation Of trifes its painful strains
ing for effect, the weakness of the bad
breakdown in the testimony which fol-
lowed and if we could believe that the
final decision would turn on the merits
of the case, it might be said to foretell
the failure of the impeachment The
passage on Tuesday, between Bingham
and Butler on the one side, and Messrs.
Stanbery, Curtis and Eyarts on the other,
as reported at length in our Eastern ex-
changes, shows a signal discontinue of
the former, and that the weight of legal
and forensic ability is greatly with the
Presidents counsel
The firm and independent course of
the Chief Justice, and his triumph over
the ultra impeachers, in asserting the
dignity and importance of his position
as the head Of the court, is another
marked feature Of the week, and one not
at all enliyening 70 the Jacobin mind
They perceive that the bearing and ru-
lngs of Judge Chase have a tendency to
weaken the confidence Of their partisans,
and unmask the wickedness they have
contrived
The testimony is wholly inefficient to
substantiate the shadow Of a charge they
have alleged and they confront the de-
tense, which commences on Monday.
without case. Their chief point has
been TO establish that the President in
tended to eject Stanton forcibly. This
he did not do, or attempt to do, and Gen.
Thomas viii prove, during the coming
week, that he had no orders to employ
such means, and thus destroy this plea

MOBILE RACEs-THIRD DAY

There was but one race to-day, there be-
ing but one entry for the second. In the
first race Privateer, Rousseau and Engineer,
Jr., started.
FIRST HEAT.-An even start was made
between the two favorites, the gray little
in the rear. Privateer Immediately took
the lead, closely followed by Rousseau, but
yielding the second place as they went
round she turn 20 Engineer, whose impetu-
osity placed him even with Privateer at the
quarter post This was no place for dis
play of surplus energy, and he was soon
pulled back into companionshipwith Rous-
sean. the two running down the back stretch
linked with the Lightning colt, until he
shook them off aud entered the third
quarter a length in advance. Rousseau
now left Engineer behind by about the
same space, and made brush for the fore
most place, hardly succeeding, however, in
coming up on Privateers quarter. On the
home stretch he established himself along
side. and the twopassed the stand neck-snd-
neck, Engineer a few yards behind. Up
the turn there was quite a scufile for the
front place, but no difference was effected.
until down the straight stretch the blue
colors began to show ahead, Engineer by
this time being thirty yards behind We
see the half mile post for an instant between
the two bays as they pass IL, and Rousseau
obstinstely keeps his place round the lower
turn. As they come up the stretch he is
doing his best, but Priyateer, close 10 the
rails, is doing better and finishes by passing
the stand full four lengths ahead Engi-
neer pulling up behind.
SECOND HEAT.-Nothing could be seen
amiss in the horses, vet the interval was
employed by Privaleer in a solitary gallop
round the track. For the second heat he
came to the poll full of spirit, which ex-
hibited itself in two false starts, Rousseau
keeping him company IN the inst ln the
real start Privaieer had slightly the advan-
iage, but Rousseau soon took the lead by
half his length, and gradually drew ahead

New YORK, April 4-The Times Wash
ington special says it is now understood
that it is the intention of the defense, when
the prosecution rest their case, TO move a
further delay of week or ten days, to pre-
pare for the opening argument and the
production of witnesses. 1t is pretty GER
tain that the request, if made, will be
refused. The counsel for the defense have
applied for and obtained the issue of a
subpoena for Mack, of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, to appear as a witness on behalf OF
the President. 1t is expected he will tes-
tify to the fact that previous to the final
removal of Stanton, the President de-
Tended himself against the charge of con-
spiracy which was then made, and now
from the chief points in the articles of i'm
parchment. He will be used by the pros
ecution, on the cross-examination, to show
that the President denounced Congress in
private as well as in public.
The Heralds Washington special states
that the public debt statement will be is-
sued to-day, and will show slight increase.
A large number of leaves of absence are
being granted in the several departments
to the clerks who claim residence in Con-
