FROM WASHINGTON.
THE vmne,chn ou..,,.r


New YORK. March 1.-THE Worlds cor
respondent gives the details of an interview
with President johnson on the subject OF
impeachment, during which the President
stated he should respond TO the summons
to appear by counsel. and after long con-
versation upon the merits and demerits OF
the charges brought against him, conclud-
ed the Interview by saying, "The gentle
men in the House who originated impeach-
ment. and others who applaud them, are in
a certain sense consistent. Recalling the
time. on the eve of the rebellion, when /
stood in the Senate almost alone in insist
ing upon the duty OF the Government to
uphold the Constitution AMI the Union
against the traitors who threatened both,
| recall class of men in and out of Con-
gress who lacked courage to defend either.
Standing on the same platform that occu-
pied then. / look around and see these men
now bold enough, in the place of their
former weakness to disregard the clearest
provisions of constitutional law. After the
war is over in which they took none but a
wordy part, they have relapsed to their
Foriginal status as politicians who held the
Constitution at too slight value to be
either valiantly defended or treated with
reverence. Finally. it is declared that /,
who have as honestly striven as I knew
how to administer this Government in
accordance with the Constitution, shall be
sacrificed along with the constitutional
prerogatives of the Presidential Office to a
party necessity. Jefferson Davis, the
head and front of the rebellion, is not
brought to trial. Yet Congress proposes to
try the President at once, for what kind
of offense, compared with that of Mr..
Davis, both the country and the
Senate may perhaps justly decide"
Alabama Net Sufficiently African
ized.
The Times Washington special says the
bill admitting Alabama will not pass the
Senate until after the impeachment trial.
1t is contended that Alabama is not able to
protect the loyal people if the military sup
port be taken away, unless there is a
change in the Executive. Arkansas is
looked upon as safer State to try the ex-
pertinent. and the opportunity for so doing
will be offered next week.
Impeachment Testimony.
Messrs. McLawen and Sheridan, two
newspaper reporters, who accompanied the
President on his western tour, have arriv-
ed here to testify before the impeachment
managers concerning his speeches. Other
reporters have been summoned.
Speech by MIR. Van Trump.
Mr.. Van Trump, in speech in the House
yesterday. favored amending the bill from
the committee on Foreign Affairs so that
an American citizen emigrating to anoth-
er country might declare his intention and
make it a matter of accord in the federal
courts to simplify and render certain the
evidence of his eXpatriation.
He was also in favor of provisling by law
that such person could only again become
a citizen of the Government in accordance
with the naturalization laws like other
aliens.

White. John Welch, Jacob Brinkerhof and Josiah
Scott. Reporter-L. j.. CIitct field.
GENERAL DOCKET.
No. Isl. Joseph Stanglein alias Louis
Naegley v. The State of Ohio. Error to
the Common Pleas of Montgomery county.
BRINKERHoFF +, Held
l. On the trial of party indicted for
bigamy, admissions made by the accused
prior to the alleged second marriage, in res
peet to the alleged former marriage, are
competent evidence to go to the Jury in
support of the averment of the former
marriage. Wolverton v. The State, 16 o.
r. 173, followed and approved.
2. In an Indictment for bigamy, an aver
ment that the former 'shusband or wife"
had not been continually and wilfully abb
sent for the space of five years together,
and unheard from, next before the time of
the last alleged marriage, is not necessary.
Such fact, if it exist, is matter of defence
to be proved by the accused.
3. A transcript of the record or registry
of a marriage in foreign country, however
well authenticated the same may otherwise
be, is not competent p1 ina fdcie evidence of
the marriage therein declared and record
ed; without proof of the laws of such for
eign country requiring that such record or
registry be made and kept,
Judgment reversed, and case remanded
for new trial.
No. 72 Mary A. Pollock and others v.
Elias Speidel. In error to the Court of
Common Pleas of Clermont county. Re-
served in the District Court.
SCOTT, j., Held
l. Where lands are conveyed by deed
stO A, the heirs of his body, and assigns
forever" the grantee takes an estate tail.
2. By force of the statute Of this State.
limiting entailments, the issue of A takes
the inheritance as an absolute estate in fee
simple.
8. The first donee in tail cannot, in This
State by sale and conveyance in fee sim
pie, with covenants of warranty, bar the
entail; or deprive his issue of the right of
succession to the Inheritance.
4. Though the issue, in such case. take bv
descent, yet the tenant in tail is not the
source of their title; they take per fotunn,
doni. from the person who first created the
estate, and are therefore not estopped bv
the deed of the tenant in tail.
5. Nor is it bar to their action for the
recovery of the lands entailed, that their
ancestor, the tenant in tail, has convened
with covenants ofwarranty,an that assets
have descended to them from his estate.
Modern covenants of warranty are re-
garded as personal only; and the remedy
OF the cOvenantee, in case of eviction, is
by action on the covenant, against the
grantor. or his real or personal represen-
tatlves, to recover in damages for the land
lost.

NEW countries have wants and habits
peculiar to themselves. In our widely ex-
tended and sparsely settled territory, medi-
cines ready prepared are more employed,
and are in fact greater necessity than in
the old countries. DR.. Ayers preparations
have given the public greater confidence
in this class of remedies than had ever been
felt before. Physicians instead of discard
ing them, really favor the use of such
ready at hand antidotes for disease, when
they can be depended on. And we wish
our readers to know that in publishing J
c. Aver & Co.'S advertisement, or any others
OF like reliable character, we think we are
furnishing them as useful information as
any with which we can fill our colums.-
