CURE OF CRoUP.-An exchange refer
ring to the fact of doctor in Heidleburg
and two of his assistants having died OF
Group in consequence Of sucking the blood
flowing during successful operation OF
tracheotomy, stated that the disease is al.
ways durable by o very simple remedy,
even when the patient is on the verge Of
sufocation. This consists, first, in apply.
ing water to the throat by means OF a
sponge or soft cloth, so hot as TO be very
painful to the hand of the operators, in
slant reliefbeing usually afforded. After
this has been continued for fifteen OF thirty
minutes, poultiee of linseed meal, rolled
up in a cloth, is to be applied while very
hot, and left on for some time. The rem
edies are to be repeated should the attack
return; but the writer statesthat after q
long experience he has never known them
to fail.

LONDON, April 27-Official Abyssin-
ian dates state that the Europeans lately
held captive there, numbering sixty
souls, including men, women and chill
dren, we're already en- route home, and
that the entire force of Theodorus army
had been either killed, wounded
or captured. Gen. Napier takes by this
victory the twenty-eight large guns just
used against him, 5000 stand Of arms,
10000 shields (sucL as are used in battle
in open field by the Abyssinians), 10000
spears and many other articles of war
equipments. Some accounts say that
Theodorus committed suicide when he
found the fortune of the day against him
Theodorus' two sons were taken prison
ers. The interior of the fortress of
Magdala presents splendid sight
the place glowing with barbaric SPLEEN
dor. The British troops plundered it at
once. They found four royal crowns,
made of solid gold, $4,000 in silver,
1000 silver plates several lots Of rich
Jewels and other articles of great value.

CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate, April 25th, Mr.. Groes-
beck addressed the Senate for the de-
Tense. After Introductory remarks, he
considered the question whether the
Senate was sitting as court. He showed
conclusively that it was so sitting by the
introduction of many precedents and
authorities. The only question it could
decide was that of crime or no crime,
which must be done in accordance with
established constitutional and legal
rules, and no action could be consid-
cred in connection with which evil
intention was not a part. Mr. Lin.
coin had constituted military tribunals
in loyal States, and although the Su-
preme Court had denied the right, Con.
gress had upheld him in it on the ground
Of good motive. As to the removal of
Stanton, he said that all admitted doubt
as to the proper construction Of the law,
and accordingly the President had
availed himself of the counsel of those
specifically designated by the Constitu.
ton TO give it, aud there could be no
criminal intent, and therefore no crime.
Abiding to a portion of Mr.. Boutwell's
speech, he denied that the President was
merely the servant Of Congress to exc
cute their laws. His oath ofoflice, he said,
required him first to maintain the Con-
stitution. He further oombatted the
position assumed by that honorable
manager, that the President is required
to execute all laws, even il they are
pronounced unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court, claiming that in such
cases he was bound by bis higher obliea-
tons, and after reciting various well
known principles Of interpretation-one
was, tina, long settled practice had de-
termined the construction Of law-he
claimed that the meaning Of the act Of
1859, was so determined and fixed by
general usage and judicial decisions, that
the President had the right to challenge
the constiiuiionaliiy Of a Law in conflict
With, and yet not repeating the old law,
which has been framed and so long con-
strued as being embodied in the princi-
Piles Of the Constitution regarding the
power Of removal He asked If the
President was to be convicted beosuse
be acted on the interpretation sanctioned
By his constitutional advisers, By the
Thir,y-eigblh Congress, By the Supreme
Court, and The uniform practice Of the

II is we'll known that Gen. Sherman is

10 the correspondence Of the Chicago
Tines which appears to-day, in another
column, it is stated that the conviction
Of the President is growing SO unpopular
in the North and West that Gen. Sher-
man talks Of taking the stump against it
The ruinous character Of the whole Radi-
cal programme is beginning to be severe

telligent men and giving public affairs
into the hands Of negroes and few ig-

seen that without this the Northern and
Western cities, the manufacturer, me.
chanics, merchants, aud farmers cannot
thrive.

through the Northern and Western cities
informs US that public sentiment is very
evidently changing against the Radica

Presidents aequieseenco in the Tenure
of-0iiice law, as long MS possible, was q
strong proof in his favor. Recapiiulatinp
his argument up to this point, Mr.. Groes-
beck proceeded to consider the question
~hether the President had the right 10
make the appointment ad interim, and
claimed that he had such under thSact
of 1895, and to show that the provisions
of that act we're not affected by the law
of 1863, he made the same argument
advanced by Mr.. Curtis, and went on to
instance various presidents OF similar
appointments, made while the Senate
was in session-dwelling at length on
the case of Holt, appointed by Buchanan
to succeed Floyd, which, he said, re-
CURED particular notice, because the
Senate had made particular inquiry into
il, and called upon the President for an
explanation, which he gave, to their
entire satisfaction, justifying himself
under the precise law to which Mr..
johnson refers in this defense. Passing
over the ninth article with very brief
comments, Mr.. Groesbeck read the sedi-
ton law, and said that while it closely
ressmbled the tenth article, II was much
less Objectionable and offensive, for that
punished the publication Of something
coolly written, while this made criminal
words hastily spoken under trying provo
cations. He read burlesque law, and
promised to carry out his idea Of that
article, which created great merriment.
Regarding the eleventh article, he said
he would only note the fact, that the
action of the President in sending tel
egram to Parsons( Governor of Alabama),
which had formed the subject Of three
hours speech, to take place months
before the reconstruction act, which it
was supposed to obstruct In conclu-
sion he rs.summed up his argument, and
expressed confidence in the final result,
and characterized the presidents of con-
viction referred to by others, as beacon
lights of warning" rather than as ex-
amples for guidance, and pronounced a
glowing eulogy on the life, character
and services of the President.
The Court and Senate then adjourned.
