New York, March 25.-The Tribune's
Washington special says that at the Cabi-
net meeting yesterday, Mr.. johnson sub
mitted several important subjects for con-
sideration, among others his veto of the bill
taking from the Supreme Court appellate
Jurisdiction in cases Of hsbeas corpus.
The rumor is again ahoat that the Presi-
dent intends TO resign before the conclusion
Of his trial
The Washington Worlds special says
that it is now reported that Mr.. Seward has
promised the mission to st. Petersburg to
Gen. Banks. The report lacks conhrma-
ton.
The Presidents veto of the bill TO pre-
vent appeals in habeas corpus cases, is COM
pleted and was approved by the Cabinet
to-day, and will be presented to Congress
tomorrow.

I0HNsON AND RLACK.

The Radical Washington correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Gazette, in his letter OF
the 23d inst, gives tho following explana-
ton in regard to the withdrawal of Judge
Black from the counsel of the President
in the impeachment trial
at is known that Judge Black urged the
President TO resign, and that his advice In
this matter reached the verge of an open
rupture. There were also other points OF
marked difference between them as to the
line of defense, and az these could not be
satisfactorily arranged, Mr.. Black refused
10 act. The withdrawal of Mr.. Black Is
considered as most favorable to the trial
continuing to the end without the least in
terruption from violence, as Mr.. Blacks
advice has long been Of a character which,
if followed, would almost certainly lead to
trouble. IL is further known that Mr..
Black has been on the point of breaking
with the President for some months, be-
cause the latter would not send war
steamer of the government to take posses
sion of some guano island in the Pacific Tor
the benefits of certain of Blacks CLIENTS,
and where the fee is said TO amount to haii
a million"
The Washington correspondent OF the
Louisville Courier refers to the matter IN
his dispatch of the oath inst as follows
Judge Black emphatically contradicts
the statement sent West about his declin-
ing TO appear as counsel for the President.
IL grows out Of a controversy between
Black and Seward respecting claim OF
Blacks client 10 the guano island OF Alta
Villa. The President, after admitting the
right of Blacks clients, was 80 overawed
by Seward that he would make no order In
the case either for or against them. Judge
Black declares the President, by taking
sides with Seward, put it out of his power
10 serve him az counsel, though he firmly
believes in the Justice and law of the
Presidents defense. He does not retire
from the cause for want OF confidence
in the defense, nor in consequence OF
i'll feeling toward the President, nor be-
cause of any difference with the counsel.
There was a sharp correspondence between
the President and Judge Black. Mr.. Sew
ards extraordinary conduct creates the
impression that he is in league with the
robbers whom he protects, and 1t ls prooa-
Bile resolution of investigation will be IN
troduced in the House. Moreover, 1t is
said. were it not so late, this matter would
form an additional article of impeach-
ment. This may have been the reason for
Blacks Withdrawing, which was done last
week. Thad. Stevens, Butler, Bingham
and others indorse this claim, and several
of them assert Seward is guilty OF mall
feasance in office and should be impeached.

Arkansas Election = Habeas Corpus
Case. etc. etc

MEMPHIS, March 25.-Private kilograms
from Radical sources claim that Arkansas
has gone for the Constitution, but the Ava
lanche's special from Little Rock to-day
says the following counties gave majorities
for the Constitution: Desha so, Monroe
10, Phillips 1900. The remaining twenty
counties heard from so far gave the follow
ing majorities against the Constitution
Ashley 800, Bradley 495, Calhoun %, Con-
way l16, Craighead so, Crawford 1876,
Dallas 304, Drew 400, Franklin 3lS,
Greene 5S7, Hampstead 27, Hot Springs
254. Independence 104, Jackson 293, Law
renee Asa, Ouachita 400, Randolph 389,
Saline 500, Sewer LOG, and Woodruff 400.
These counties are mostly in negro dis
tricts. The white districts in the North
west have not been heard from, but it is ex-
pected that they will largely increase the
majority against the Constitution.
There are several large counties yet to
hear from which will give large maiorities
for the Convention.
1t is estimated that the Constitution will
be defeated by not less than 5000.
The election passed off quietly through
out the State.
The argument is continued in the Ava
lanche habeas corpus case to-day. Judge
Waldrau will give the decision next Mon
day.
In the contested case growing out of the
late county election, before the County
Commissioners, wherein one Norton con-
tested the election of Hayden, freedman,
as Constable in the 18th district, on the
ground of Hayden's ineligibility according
TO the Code, he being of African descent,
and the illegality of the election under the
franchise law, which requires the Commits"
sioner of Registration TO be commissioned
by the Governor. In the trial it was
proved by a number of witnesses that the
Governors signature was not written by
Brownlow himself but by another. Nor
toms counsel maintained that the Governor
had no authority to delegate TO another the
use of his official signature. Decision in

The Washington correspondent of the
New York NeloS writes under date of the
18th inst. as follows:
alt is ascertained that Justices Chase,
Nelson, Grier, Clifford, Davis and Field
hold Congressional reconstruction as I'M
constitutional, and sustain the appeal IN
the McCardle case. Justices Swayne and
Miller sustain the acts of Congress and IA
vor dismissing the appeal. Whether the
court will give a decision in advance OF
the act repeating jurisdiction becoming a
law is not known. Some say the court
will defend its dignity, and not allow MI
Schenck to use the Congressional scissors
on its wings. Others think that the court
lacks nerve, and no decision will be given.
Whatever may be the opinion OF the
Judges as to the constitutionality of the
reconstruction acts, it is now evident that
thew lack the nerve to resist Congression-
al usurpation as did the President. Had
they thrown themselves into the breach,
as it was hoped they would do, by decid-
ing the McCardle case, the tide of revo
luton might have been stayed. But they
lacked the nerve to face the furious rev.
dictionary junta which is striking the
President down, and making the Presl'
Dental Office a mere register of the edlct'
of Congress.

pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, good

in stampede in the Committee on Rules,
caused by report that some of Mosby

accounts for the precaution taken by the
